Prolouge:
All that is seen is blackness. It is pitch black and silent. No voices, no light. Then, a small light is seen and a faint yet distinctly male voice starts speaking. "I'm sorry. I can't stay with you, but where you are going you will be safe. I hope that one day you will forgive me. This is the only way to protect you from those who want to abuse your power. I hope that one day you can find your way back to me and that when you do, the elemental nations will be a peaceful place that you can call home without any fear of being used. I am so sorry. I love you so much. I never wanted to loose anymore family to the ninja world. Please forgive me." Sparkling tears are seen falling from the small light, and then it is black again.
Chapter One: Its Time.
18 year old Serena Chiba lay awake in her bed, listening to the love of her life, Darien Chiba snoring peacefully beside her. She smiled and caressed his cheek. Remembering all of the good times she had had with him and all of the girls. She got up out of the bed and wobbled over to the bookshelf. After situating herself in the rocking chair, she picked out a photo album and began to look at all of the pictures.
They had all been through so much, but they never turned their back on each other. That is what made their bond so strong. She thought, smiling as she looked at the photo strip of her and Darien, then a group shot with Rini and the outers in it.
Serena frowned slightly when she saw the quartets. She hadn't seen them in so long it pained her, but Trista had to go back to the Time Gate, and little Hotaru had returned to being a baby. As for Amara and Michelle, Serena had no clue. They'd left without a trace.
She turned the page and her smile returned. Surrounded by hearts and smiley faces was a picture of Her, Darien and their beautiful pink haired little girl. Serena looked down and rubbed her stomach.
"I can't wait to see you again." Tears escaped her eyes and she closed the book. She returned it to the shelf, and wobbled back to the bed. Getting into it was a challenge since she was 8 1/2 months pregnant, but she somehow managed. She crawled over to Darien and kissed his cheek. "I love you." She whispered tenderly. Serena then cuddled up next to him and quickly fell asleep, completely oblivious to the pair of strong arms wrapping around her and pulling her closer.
A few hours later, Serena was awoken by an intense pain in her stomach, tears streaming down her face. She began to whimper and knew what it meant.
It was the middle of the night when Darien was awoken by a quiet whimper. He looked around the room to find the source and found that it was right next to him. Serena, his beautiful Serena laid there clutching her stomach and had tears streaming down her face. Without a word Darien rushed out of bed, he grabbed Serena bridal style, and was out of the bedroom. On his way out, he grabbed a big purple tote bag with cloths and snacks for this specific occasion. He gingerly put her shoes on and slipped his own on. He set the door so that it would lock automatically and went as fast as he could to the elevator, as Serena's whimpering increased in intensity.
He stood at the elevator in a sweat. He had hit the botton again and again, but It still wasn't here. (In reality it had only been 2 minutes) but to Darien it felt like hours. So he gave up and took to the stairs taking them 2 at a time while clutching a now crying Serena to his chest. "gotta hurry" he thought frantically as they exited the stairs and found the car. He gingerly placed Serena in the back seat and after making sure she was relatively comfortable, he ran to the other side of the car and getting in. Turning the key in the egnishen and looking at Serena in the review mirror.
"Are you doing alright Sere-chan?" he asked with all the sincerity and calmness he could manage at the moment. She nodded and then clutched at her stomach and her face was clenched with pain. This caused Darien to freak. He sped out of the lot and almost hit someone because he wasn't looking. His usually composed and careful demeaner was gone. He never wanted anything to cause his Sere-chan pain, so he ran red lights, and sped 10+ miles above the speed limit. He knew this was wrong, but under the situation, there was no way he was waiting at a red light.
Once he pulled up to the Tokyo hospital, he rushed and retrieved a wheelchair, and then helped Serena into it. He pushed her into the lobby and up to the front desk. The nurse looked up a cheerful smile on her face.
"May I help you?" then she saw who it was. "Doctor Chiba-san?! What…" but her question was cut off when she saw the woman in the wheelchair clutching her stomach. "Ohh I see!" she immediately began flipping papers behind the desk. She then said something over the intercom. "Doctor Mizuno please report to the Maternity wing." She then came from behind the desk and took Serena from Darien. She then calmly but quickly went over to the nurses station where a new green haired nurse took Serena and Darien to the elevator.
"So, are you the husband?" the green haired nurse asked.
"Yes I am." He sounded surprisingly calm considering the look in his eyes was one of complete and utter fear and confusion.
"Don't worry sir. Mizuno-san will take good care of her." She gave him a reassuring smile. "You're a doctor too right? So you know that this is completely natural and that everything will be ok."
"How did you know?" He was stunned. He wasn't wearing any kind of identification so how could she know he was a doctor? The woman at the front desk had known him from med school, but this woman?
"Everyone's been talking about how one of this hospitals top doctors was expecting, and that his wife had a pretty unusual hair style. Plus I've seen you around the hospital a few times. You are Chiba-san right?"
"That's right." He nodded, and then the doors finally opened and they hurried to the designated room. Ami was already in it, and as soon as Serena arrived, she ushered her into a hospital gown and announced that it would be a few hours. So, she gave Serena a very light pain reliever to help and went to go do some things before the baby would come.
Darien walked over to Serena who had an iv in her hand and grasped it.
"you'll be ok Sere-chan. I promise." He was so worried. If he was reasonable he would know there was nothing to worry about, but he was far from being reasonable right now. His most beloved person was in pain and he couldn't stand it.
She smiled at him but cringed when a contraction hit. Serena definatly had a high pain tolerance after so many years as sailor moon, but this was on a whole new level. She would take a hundred battles with Beryl vs this kind of pain but she knew it was worth it. She clutched her broach for strength. She had had it the entire trip, and knew that there was no way she could die from childbirth with the silver crystal on her side, but it still hurt… a lot.
She saw nurses coming and going, and then finally after like 2 hours, Ami-Chan was back and announced that it was time to bring the baby into the world, but when she looked over to where she swore Darien had been a moment before he wasn't there. She cried out and told Ami-Chan she wouldn't give birth until her prince was here, and this was a problem as a small head was already visible.
