This IS a Serenity and Endymion fic. Thier romance starts out slow,
but the other stuff is important for the plot. Please tell me what
you think!

Let's Start at the Very Beginning

-PROLOGUE-

She cried. 'How could he?' Gaia wept as she lied on her bed
back home. After she had found out what he did, she had gone
back to her home Atlantis. She had teleported when no one was
looking. She had not even told her husband of her powers. Just
thinking of him made her weep harder. Gaia patted her slightly
swollen stomach. 'It will be a boy.' She thought of her unborn
child and cried thinking about what had happened. She cried even
harder as she though of what she had just discovered.

-Earlier that week-

Gaia was so happy to be back on the Moon. She hadn't seen
her friend Queen Serenity in the longest time. Queen Serenity,
just like herself, was a goddess. Of course, they did not tell
anyone of this except for the Sailor Senshi. The Senshi were not
goddess, but they were the protectors of their respected planets
as well as Queens there. They did, however, had powers similar
to Queen Serenity's and Gaia's. The Senshi had married into the
Moon Kingdom, and Gaia hoped that her own son could eventually
marry the daughter of Serenity. Everyone knew that there was
only one descendent of the goddess Selene each generation, and
of course, each generation, the child was a girl. It would
please her so to know that her best friend and she were going to
be related. Gaia had decided to tell her friends, Serenity and
the Senshi, of her child before her husband because she wanted
it to be a birthday surprise. She had told him that she would be
at the Moon on his birthday, but was going to come home with
this wonderful news.

"Oh Gaia! You are so lucky. I wish it was I who were the
one with child." Serenity exclaimed. Serenity had silver-purple
hair with blue eyes. Her hair was done up into two buns on the
top of her head.

"We all have had children of our own. All girls. You are
the only one to have a boy. He'll be very popular to have all of
those girl friends." Queen Mars said. She was a fiery woman with
black hair and violet eyes.

"Well, we are all glad that you had your children finally.
You are all fairly old." Gaia joked. Gaia was a millennium old,
but the other women except for Serenity were nearly ten thousand
years old.

"I think that Serenity should finally have a child too."
Queen Mercury said. She was quiet and had blue hair and eyes to
match.

"I agree Mercury. Even if I know my baby is a boy, I hope
they are all friends, even if your children are girls. But I
know Terrance is glad to know that he has an heir to Terra.
Right Gaia?"

"Yes Serenity, he will...when I tell him."

"You mean you haven't even told your husband yet?" asked
Queen Venus. Queen Venus had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She
was the Senshi of Love, so she was very curious how Gaia's
husband would react.

"No." Gaia giggled. The rest of the women giggled as well.

"I just think it's about time that she had gotten pregnant,
I mean really, how old is Gaia?" Queen Jupiter said. She had
brown hair and green eyes that flashed in the light. Gaia
flashed her a look that said, 'Look who's talking.'

"Yes, but how long has she been married for? I'm glad that
Gaia is to have her child now. She is Mother Earth after all,
she of all should have a child if she has been called a mother
all her life." The rest nodded in agreement at Serenity's
statement.

"Now all we need is for David to get you pregnant Serenity.
You've waited just as long as I have to have children." Queen
Serenity nodded her head in agreement at Gaia's statement. "I
was just thinking that perhaps the Earth could enter the
alliance." Gaia stated.

"Do you mean a betrothal?"

"Yes. I know that we always talked about our children being
able to choose their own loves but could we not make a betrothal
and then if things did not work out, pretended that it had never
been made?"

"I think that will be manageable." Serenity smiled. "It
would be nice to know that my daughter was married to a man with
good up bringing."

"So then it is agreed. You four Queens bare witness to this
betrothal between the unborn of Gaia, and my own unborn child?"

"We do." said all but Venus.

"What if you do not have a girl, or what if you do not have
your child until a hundred years later? I didn't have any
children until my ninety-second husband, and this is Serenity's
first!" Venus exclaimed.

"We are making this agreement so that we don't go through
with it if it is not convenient. Do you agree now?" Gaia asked
Venus.

"I do."

"Let's not tell anyone just in case this pact is not put
forth into action. Now, my child and myself need rest. Goodnight
ladies."

"Goodnight Gaia."

Gaia walked out onto her balcony to look at the Earth. She
felt as though there was something not quite right about to
happen at home, but she shrugged it off. It was unwise of her to
do this because being a goddess, her instincts were almost
always right. She sighed as she walked back inside and laid
down.

"Dear child, the Earth will one day be yours to rule. As
will the Moon, I hope. Yet I don't hope. For when you rule the
Moon it will mean that Serenity has passed onto her next phase
of life. So treat her people well. Treat my people well too. I
will have to one day teach you how to make life flourish on both
planets. Be a kind and gentle ruler little one." She rubbed her
stomach. "Be a good husband to Serenity's daughter. I know you
will marry her child. How do I know? I just know little one. I
just know. You will know things like this too one day." She
patted her stomach and went to sleep. The week passed without
much happening. The Queens spoke of their daughters. They also
spoke of the first time they all met. Serenity and the Senshi
had figured out that Gaia was a goddess before she even knew.

"Remember the look on your face when we said 'You are a
goddess?' You're eyes nearly bugged out." Serenity joked.

"Yes I remember. Also when I found out that the Senshi had
already had over eighty husbands, each! Boy, my expression must
have been hilarious. Serenity of course is only a few years
older than I, so she could relate to how I felt." They laughed
at old times.

-Same day as the story began, early morning-

Gaia transported the Terra, where her husband lived. She
walked through the garden. It was always so peaceful to walk
through the Terrian gardens. A sense of peace washed over the
mother to be.

Gaia tipped-toed to her and her husband's bedroom. She was
sure that he would be glad to see her. It was early morning and
knew that he would be asleep still. He didn't usually sleep in.
In fact, he usually got up early, but she always had gotten up
earlier. She had told all of her friends that had been on the
Moon that week, that she would leave very early this morning.
She teleported home before any in the castle had woken up. 'What
a surprise he'll have to see me!' She thought. But the surprise
was on her.

As she opened the door to their room, she saw the last
thing that she had expected, the last thing possible that she
would have thought to have ever seen in fact. Her husband lay in
bed. With another woman. She shut the door as tears began to run
down her face. She ran to the palace gardens and teleported to
her home castle in Atlantis.

-Back to the time when the story began-

"How could you betray me Terrance? How could you?" She
asked to no one through her tears. 'If you would hide this
relationship from me, then I shall hide your son from you.' Gaia
thought of a plan to get revenge on her husband, but knew she
could never carry it through. Even if he had broken her heart,
she could not deny him his son. She also was aware that it would
hurt her son to grow up without a father figure in his life. She
had a sudden idea. 'I can never live with my own husband again,
but I can not let my son go through that. If I were to have him
pretend to be the gardener of the palace gardens, he could see
his father and decide for himself what he thought of him. He
shall only be with his father on weekends, and I'll have him
weekdays. And I'm sure that all of the Senshi and Serenity could
help me. They would understand. Jupiter might go after him if
she found out what he'd done. Mars would too. I'm sure Venus
would. After all she is the Senshi of Love, she can't bear to
see a man or woman break someone else's heart.' Gaia planned to
go back to the Moon to tell her friends of these heart wrenching
events.

-CHAPTER 1-

"HE DID WHAT?!" Queen Jupiter yelled. (Guess where Lita
gets her temper from. )

"He slept with another woman." Gaia explained through tears.

"Why he'll pay that son-of-a-"

"Please Jupiter. He will pay. He will lose his son. I can
not bear it to let my son grow up with a father that could do
this. But I could not bear it for my son to grow up without a
father at all. I shall tell my son the truth about what happened
between his father and I. I will explain that I wish for him to
not tell his father that he is his son until he is mature enough
to make the decision himself, has seen for himself, and then he
can decide whether or not he wants to be heir to Terra."

"How will you let your son decide if you will not go near
Terrance? How is he then supposed to be exposed to Terrance?"
The sensible Mercury asked.

"I have thought of that. He will be the palace gardener. He
is sure to have a great love for nature. In fact, it is
inevitable for him to have the power to mold nature to his
will."

"How will you convince Terrance to let him be his gardener?
You are surely not going to wait until your son is a young man
before he will meet his own father. And surely Terrance will not
take a child for his gardener." Mars stated.

"Terrance has always had a strong love for his gardens. His
own gardener right now has been a good friend of his since he
was a child. If I could convince Gregory, the gardener, to allow
my son to be a helper, then Terrance will not disagree with his
faithful servant. Also, I know that his wife Margret has just
had a son. His name is Andrew. Gregory will be happy to have a
friend for his son."

"You have this thought out well Gaia, but are you sure it
is fair to your husband so that he never knows about his son?"
Serenity asked.

"Was it fair of him to sleep with another woman?" Jupiter
bit back in Gaia's defense. She was still rather upset that
someone would do that. Venus did not seem to like Terrance all
that much at the moment either.

"Good point Jupiter. How will you train your son to become
a ruler without anyone knowing he is your son?" Serenity asked.
Gaia had not thought of this and thought for a while before
saying:

"Will you all help train him?"

"He can watch our daughters train since they will be nearer
his age then we will be." Mars said.

"Then every summer, after he has turned the age of ten, I
will send him here to the Moon. At that age, I will also send
him to be with Terrance. I will train him in secret for several
years. Serenity, would it be possible for him to be a gardener
here? That way if word got around that a young boy was staying
here, it would because it was because he was a gardener. If he
were to be trained here, word could get back to Terrance."

"I think that is a wonderful idea." Serenity agreed.
Everyone felt much better after everything had been worked out.

"Gaia, I think that things will work out even better. I
took Mercury's advice from earlier this week, and my husband and
I got to it right away." Serenity smiled at everyone's confused
faces.

"I'm pregnant." All of the women squealed with delight.

"Thank you all. I am so glad I have you to go through all
of this with." sighed Gaia.

"We're your friends, we would never let you down Gaia."
Venus gave Gaia a hug.

"Weren't you going to surprise your husband? So that means
that he will not expect you home for a while. How much longer do
you have until he expects you?" asked Jupiter.

"I have four days. And to think, if I hadn't planned to
surprise him, I would never have found out about his affair."
Gaia said sadly.

"Well then, we will stay four more days as well. We were
all going to go home tomorrow, but I'm sure Serenity won't mind
having us around too much longer right?"

"Four more days?!" Serenity feigned horror. Everyone
laughed at her unsuccessful attempt, and she started to laugh
too.

"Of course I wouldn't mind. My husband might, but I know
he'll leave me alone for now. Or at least until I tell him I'm
with child. Then I don't think I'll be able to go anywhere
alone." Everyone knew how protective David was of his wife
Serenity.

"Let's have a slumber party! We haven't had one in years,
and I think we should." Mars suggested.

"Yes, let's." Mercury agreed. So they all went back to
their own rooms and got their blankets and pillows and headed
for the gardens. It was a beautiful night as they talked of the
future of their children. The Senshi's children, Mina, Raye,
Lita, and Amy were all growing to be fine young girls. They
would pledge their lives to Serenity's daughter. Gaia's son
would not pledge his life because he was male. If Gaia's child
were to be a girl, Gaia and Serenity had planned to have an
earth Senshi. But because Gaia already knew that she was having
a son, and also in hopes that her son and Serenity's daughter
would marry and be equals in their power, he would not pledge.

-At the slumber party-

Gaia dreaded going back to Terra. How and what would she
say to her husband? 'Whatever I do, I can not let on or show any
signs that I am pregnant.' All of the Queens wanted to help.
Mercury suggested that she just pack up and go, and leave a
letter telling him what she saw.

"Really Mercury, she should go up to him and tell him
herself what she saw. And then smack him across the face!" Mars
had said. Jupiter had really wanted to go with her. She said she
wouldn't harm him in anyway. But when Gaia tried to get her
promise on this, Jupiter said she couldn't give one.

"What you should do is tell him what you saw, and then tell
him that he has lost his wife." Venus said.

"I know! Venus is right Tell that to Terrance, but we have
to make him know that he did the most idiotic mistake of his
life Gaia, we are going to give you a makeover!" Serenity
exclaimed. "You are very beautiful already, but we can improve
you!" So they took Serenity's idea and made over Gaia. Her long
black hair that was always in a braid down her back, was done
into many smaller braids to make a crown on her head. Venus put
on her make-up that brought out her lovely crimson red lips and
midnight blue eyes. She wore a dress that was made of gold that
clung to the top half of her figure, and flared out at the
waist. She did look stunning. Her stomach was now noticeably
swollen. But just barely, so she used a little bit of magic to
hide it.

Another thing Gaia had been worried about was what her son
would do when he found out that he was a god. It didn't really
matter that her husband was mortal because god's blood dominated
that of regular blood. When the blood had completely taken over
her own mortal blood, Gaia had only been in her twenties. How
long ago that seemed! But she had been shocked. Her friends had
known because they were from other planets, but the people of
Earth were usually unaware that there were people of magic birth
living on their planet. In fact, most all people born from
planets other than Earth had magic in their blood. That was why
the other planets were not very welcome on Earth. She was sure
that the marriage of her son and the daughter of Serenity would
bring an alliance, but what if her son did not wish to be the
heir to the thrown? Even though she was Queen of her own
kingdom, Terra and the Atlantis kingdom made up the Earth's
kingdoms. It just down on her that her son would be the ruler of
the whole planet. She knew that Atlantis was one of the most
computerized cities, but Terra was so much bigger than Atlantis.

Although she hoped that Endymion could rule both the Earth,
and if he married Serenity's daughter, the Moon wisely. It would
be a lot of work. She would not blame him in the least though if
he did not wish to be recognized as Terrance's son. However, he
technically had to be the crown prince for he was the first born
of the King. She pushed these thoughts out of her mind as she
hugged her friends good-bye.

"When it is time for me to go into labor, would you all
come and see me in Atlanta? I'm going to need your help." Gaia
embraced all of her friends, as she asked.

"Of course we will. Good-bye!" They all waved good-bye as
Gaia went to do one of the hardest things in her life.

Gaia teleported to the garden. She walked towards the
castle. She had wondered why Terrance did not ask how she could
get to the Moon. It might have been that he knew her friends had
magic. He didn't know that she had magic though. Or maybe he
hadn't asked because he knew that he was going to cheat on her.
Maybe it was a one time thing, and he had never cheated on her
before, or it could have been that he had done this many time
behind her back. She didn't know, but even once was too many.
There were just too many maybes, too many ifs, that she did not
want to dwell on.

She would let him explain, but still, she would not go back
to him. If he even wanted her back. She went over things that
she could say to him and what he might say back to her in her
mind. Gaia could not bear to go to the bedroom, so she stayed in
the gardens until it was about noon. As she mustered up all her
courage, she straitened her dress and made sure that the spell
she had put on still hid her swollen stomach.

Entering the thrown room, Gaia was glad to see that her
husband was there and alone. She was afraid that Terrance might
have hand his four Guardians, but they may have been training,
or be out with their young sons. They were about the Senshi's
age.

Gaia was extremely relieved that he was the only one there.
It would have been too difficult if he had had his friends with
him. She may not have had the courage to say what she knew she
needed to say to him.

Terrance noticed Gaia as she entered the room. His wife
looked stunning. She wore a golden dress and her hair was
fashioned in a different style than normal. He smiled at her as
he brushed his brown bangs out of his brown eyes. ((AN: He looks
like an older Darien with brown hair and eyes.))

"How was your trip my love?" he asked. He noticed her
stiffen at once at his voice.

"What's wrong?" he asked concern in his voice and in his eyes.

"How could you?" she asked sadly and softly.

"How could I what my love?"

"Don't call me 'my love'! How could you sleep with
another?! HOW COULD YOU?!" she screamed. 'Oh please no! She must
have found out about Serpentiara. I must tell her why I did so.
I only hope she will forgive me. I did it for her.'

Now that he thought about it, the reason why he had really
slept with her didn't seem right. Almost as though he hadn't
even wanted to sleep with her by his own will, like the idea had
been placed into his head.

"Please, I beg of you to let me explain." he asked pleadingly.

"You may, but don't expect my opinion of you to change."

"I...I thought that I wasn't very good in bed," he blushed
ashamedly," So I decided to ask for help. I wanted to know how
to please you. We have been married for four years and I wanted
to do something to please you, that's all. The woman I slept
with meant nothing to me. And I told her so before and after
that night. It was only one night. I swear on my life. I do love
you with all of my heart." he looked straight into her eyes as
he told her everything to try and keep her. 'I've told her the
truth, but will she ever forgive me?' "I don't expect you to but
please forgive me. I can not live without you." He said with
complete honesty.

"I forgive you. But I can never live with a man who has
been unfaithful. I shall leave as soon as my things are packed."
She told him and walked out of the room.

"What have I done?" Terrance asked to an empty room.

-In another part of Terra-

A woman watched all of this through a magic mirror. The
magic from the mirror was evil. The source of the magic was the
Negaverse. Serpentiara rubbed her stomach. She had been pregnant
before she slept with the King, but she would make him think
that the child was his.

"You see my young apprentice, this is how you use the
powers of the Negaverse." Serpentiara told a child with flaming
red hair.

"Yes Serpentiara." the child answered.

"Take note to all of these things Beryl, they shall come in
use when you are old enough. You are smart for only five years
of age." she patted the girls head. "I had no idea that the
Queen had already found out about the King and I. This shall
make things easier. With myself on the throne and this child the
heir, the Negaverse will have more ease taking over this planet
and then the universe. When you come of age Beryl my son will
wed you, and you shall be Queen and he King. Do you know what I
mean by this?" The young girl nodded her head. "Good. Now let
us go and tell the King of his 'son.'" Serpentiara smiled. 'The
spell did work well.' She had placed a curse on him to make him
believe that he was sleeping with her for the sake of his wife.
There was no way that he would have willingly slept with her.
Little did Gaia know, that her dear husband would never have
done what he did without the dark magic she had put through his
body. She had seen his mind, his heart, and they were too pure
to willingly harm his wife.

At first, Serpentiara was going to actually try to seduce
him, but the King had been oblivious to her advances. Then she
had heard that the Queen was going to go away. However, she
would only be able to sleep with Terrance once, and it was not
guaranteed that she would get pregnant that once. So, she had
turned to the Queen Metallica of the Negaverse to get one of her
minions to make sure that she became pregnant. Her plan had
worked, and now, she just had to fulfill the rest of it by
persuading Terrance to ditch Queen Gaia and marry her.

-The next day-

"How can in be true that you carry my child? How could you
know so soon if it has only been a few days?" King Terrance
questioned. How could he have been so foolish to do this? How
could he have not even thought of the possibly of her getting
pregnant?

"It is easier for women to know this my King." she lied.
'It is easier for women that have dark magic to know I should
say.'

"You may stay here in the castle. But do not think that I
will even look your way again. I told you that I do not love
you. I will raise our son to be King yes, but you will not be
Queen for I shall not marry you. Even if it is a disgrace to me.
I shall take responsibility for my actions."

Serpentiara growled under her breath. She would not be
Queen. No matter. Her son would be King and Beryl Queen. After
they were of age to wed, she would just kill Terrance.

"So be it."

-Outside the throne room-

Gaia had been thinking a lot about what she was planning to
do to Terrance, about how she was going to take their son away
for good. She was going into the throne room to tell him the
truth that she was pregnant. But she heard the conversation. He
wasn't lying to her when he told her that he did not love that
woman, but she could not bring herself to tell him after she
knew that this woman was going to also have his child. She ran
to where her things were packed. With a mere thought, her things
vanished to Atlantis. Then she teleported to her home herself.

-Approximately six months later in Atlantis-

"Come on Gaia, you're doing well." Mercury said as she
coached Gaia.

"I am so glad that you're a healer Mercury. I would feel
rather odd with a strange man looking up my skirt." All of the
women in the room laughed at Gaia's never dying spirit.

"Gaia, does it hurt much?" Serenity questioned as she put
her hand on her obvious pregnant form. She was due in about
three months. Gaia gave a yell as she pushed.

"Oh, not much." she laughed. Mars and Jupiter were holding
one of Gaia's hands as Venus aided Mercury.

"Push with the contractions. Keep your chin down against
your chest." Mercury advised.

"Keep pushing Gaia, I can see his head." Gaia gave another
yell, pushed, and squeezed onto her friends' hands.

"He's coming. He's out." A healthy cry came from the baby
boy. Venus cut the umbilical-cord at Mercury's instructions
while Mercury cleaned the blood off of the baby.

"He's beautiful!" gasped Mercury as she handed him to his
mother. Gaia, meanwhile, was crying with tears of joy. She held
her son.

"He looks like his father." Gaia noticed.

"Yes, but he has your color hair and eyes." Venus pointed
out.

"Mercury, have you delivered many babies before?" Serenity
had asked quietly.

"Actually yes. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I was just wondering if it is natural for a baby boy
to be...well...umm...how shall I put this?"

"What's wrong with my son?" Gaia asked concerned.

"Well, is it natural for a baby boy to...to...be so huge?"

"What do you mean Serenity?" asked Mars. Serenity blushed a
deep crimson red and she blurted out:

"Is it natural for him to have such a large penis?" And she
blushed an even deeper shade of red if that were possible. All
of them just stared at her. Mercury took a glance at the baby.

"Now that you mention it, I think the largest I've seen has
been half the size of his." Mercury now blushed. Everyone was
speechless. Then all of a sudden Serenity laughed. All eyes
turned to her.

"I was just thinking what my daughter would say if she knew
we were discussing this about her future husband."

"Do you really think they'll get married?" Jupiter asked.

"I hope so." Gaia sighed.

"What are you going to name him?" Mercury asked the
question that they all wanted to know.

"Endymion." Endymion squealed with delight, almost as to
say that he had accepted his new name with happiness.

-About three months later on the Moon-

"Come on Serenity, if Gaia did this so can you." Mercury
coached the Mother in labor. "I can see her head!" Serenity pushed.

"You can do it Serenity." Serenity's husband, David said.

"It's worth the pain for the end result." Gaia said as she
held her son who cooed.

"Most definitely. Raye is growing to look a lot like me."
Queen Mars said.

"Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, where are you children now?" asked
Gaia.

"They're with their fathers." Jupiter answered for all. A
loud wailing cried was heard.

"She's out!" Mercury exclaimed. Serenity cried much like
Gaia had done; in relief.

"Give me Serenity, Mercury." The new mother asked for her child.

"What an original name." Venus joked.

"She's going to look just like you." David said as he
squeezed his wife's hand. All of a sudden, Endymion started
crying, and Serenity who had just stopped, started to cry again.
Endymion reached a hand over to where baby Serenity was, as if
pointing to see her.

"What's the matter Endy? Do you want to see baby Sere?"
Gaia asked as she took him over to see the new born. He reached
a hand down to grab Serenity's. Serenity reached up and met his
hand half way. A bright flash of light came from the two as they
touched hands, and then the room dimmed to its usual light.

"What the heck just happened?" Three voices asked at once;
Gaia, Serenity, and David.

"Yeah." All of the Queens but one said.

"I don't believe it." All eyes turned to Venus.

"What don't you believe?" Jupiter questioned.

"They- those two- they just-"

"Spit it out already. What did my son and Serenity's daughter just
do?"

"They soul bonded."

That's all for this part. Review below. Thanks! - Jelp
