I stand here, watching you sleep peacefully.
A smile on your pudgy little face, the sunlight is coming through your window onto your cheek.
The others don't know I'm even awake. But I came here to see you.
You look so content as you sleep. What are you dreaming about? It must be something happy. At least I can always hope it is. If ever not... I'll come chase your monsters away. Such an innocent little girl like you doesn't deserve to be bothered by the nightmares... Whether you're asleep or wide awake.
Do you have any idea what has happened to you? Do you remember your past at all? I'd assume not.
You didn't deserve to have any of these bad things happen to you. I know you'll grow up, and I won't be able to protect you anymore. It hurts inside when I think about that...
You're the only daughter I'll ever have. All three of us... We aren't destined to actually have children of our own. We're not supposed to ever be able to die eternally. But I hope you'll always know how much we love you. You'll always be a daughter to us. I think we'll always have the internal feeling that we have to watch over you. That we'll have to help you even if you don't need help. That we'll have to catch you every time you fall. That we'll have to always protect you.
But... What will you think of us, when you grow older? When you don't need us anymore? Will you think of us merely as fellow soldiers, and nothing more? Or will you still see us as your parents?
You've brought us together as a family. We're all so much closer now... I hope we'll always see each other as family. It's definatly not your genaric family, but we love each other a lot, and when I think about how it used to be, way back then... Us outer senshi, so alone... When I think about that, I know we need each other. I'll always see us as a family.
Suddenly, your eyes slowly open. You blink, then focus your gaze at me. You smile and gurgle, happy to see a familiar face. I smile back, and pick you up, hugging you close to me.
Two figures are standing in the doorway. I wonder how long they've been there...
But they're both smiling, too, happy to see us both.
So this is what having a family is like...
We'll always be here for you to say good morning, little firefly.
A/N: I'm really not entirely sure of the POV here. It could be any of the outers, but reading it makes me think of Setsuna, for some reason. But you can go ahead and take your pick, because it can be any of them.
