Naming the baby and keeping a secret
"Won't your parents be worried?" Mamoru asked as she changed the babies diaper for the fifth time that night. He couldn't do it to save his life.
"No, they went with all the other parents to Iwo Jima for the first two weeks."
"Oh, that sucks you were at home by yourself with the flu," Mamoru replied.
"Yes well now I get to take care of a baby with the flu now don't I?" Mamoru said nothing as he took the dirty diaper off the bed and took it into the kitchen to deposite in the trash.
"Mamo-chan you should take her to the doctor in the morning she's sick," Usagi said as she laid down next to the baby under the covers on his bed. She gently rubbed the child's back as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
"Alright, I'll take her to Tokyo General in the morning." Usagi took a deep breath as she sighed. She could smell Mamoru in his sheets and blankets. She had missed the smell of him. Usagi turned away from the baby and coughed into her arm.
"Usagi perhaps you should go see the doctor too," Mamoru commented from the couch. Usagi coughed again before getting out of bed lightly and running into his bathroom. Mamoru could hear her vomiting up a late dinner.
"Usagi?" Mamoru asked.
"I'll be fine," Usagi said pushing Mamoru." Just a little tired."
"Well let's get some sleep than." Usagi said nothing before crawling back into his bed.
"Usagi?" Mamoru asked at three in the morning. He knew that she was still awake, because she was nauseas and throwing up every now and again. She'd also just gotten up to take care of the baby.
"What is it?" Usagi answered.
"What are we going to call the baby, we can't just refer to her as the baby or her forever."
"I don't know Mamo-chan we'll think of one in the morning." Usagi turned away from him and soon her breathing became lighter and she was asleep. In the morning they seemed to work as a family, but one who are having marital problems.
"Ok how about Aki?" Mamoru asked while they watched the baby on the couch. The baby just stared at them.
"Akiko?" Usagi asked. Still the baby just stared."No you're right that's not good enough for you um...how about Izumi?"
"No, no she's not an Izumi, she's a Hitomi, I mean look at those eyes, they're especially beautiful." Hitomi smiled happily.
"Oh that must be her real name, because she really likes it," Usagi said smiling.
"Hey I thought you said you had the flu, you don't look like you have the flu."
"That's not important, what's important is that you need to take Hitomi to see what she has, Mother has thousands of remedies for almost any sickness and she'll be good as new in no time."
"I think you should go too."
"I'll be fine, I'll just go to the store and do some real shopping while you're at Tokyo general."
"Fine." Mamoru said. Usagi dressed the baby and sent them on their way. She went home to check her messages and call the girls. She faked a cough and stuffy nose to her mother, who tried to sooth her over the phone.
"I have to go now, I feel a headache coming back on," Usagi moaned.
"Of course darling get your rest everyone misses you," Ikuko soothed.
"Yes mother." Usagi hung up the phone and packed a few outfits for the week. She went to the store after dropping her clothes off. True to her word she did some shopping for the baby, but she also grabbed a pregnancy test among other things. She thanked her lucky stars that Juban supermarket had their own self check out line now. She bought everything and no one had to know she had a home pregnancy test in her bag.
"Oh Usagi your mother told me you were at home with the flu," Mrs. Nagano said as she was entering the supermarket.
"Oh yes," Usagi said in a low voice and immediately putting a sick look on her face before Mrs. Nagano could see her properly."I just came for a few things trying to stick to Mama's remedies and tea for sore throat."
"Of course dear if you like I could stop by and make you some soup, you know I think I will," Mrs. Nagano replied."Yes, yes why don't you go on home and get yourself right into that nice warm bed and I'll come make you some hot tea, steamed Kurimanju because I know its your favorite, and I'll make that soup it'll sooth your stomach."
"Yes ma'am." Usagi forced a smile and Mrs. Nagano smiled too. Usagi practically raced home. She hid all the stuff for the baby and took out everything her mother generally used to get rid of the flu or Ikuko would know she faked her illness and ask why she was really throwing up. She hid the home pregnancy test in her bottom most drawer full of Chibiusa's clothing. No one would ever look there. Luna bounced into the room from her window.
"Usagi!" Luna exclaimed.
"Hi Luna, " Usagi said taking on a sick tone.
"Where have you been, you ran out of here so fast fully transformed I didn't know what to do."
"Oh Mamo-chan had an emergency and after that I just spent the night over there, because I was to tired to walk home."
"Usagi, get back into bed now, you mustn't get sicker." Usagi changed into her pajamas and climbed into her bed.
"Was it another youma and can we expect anymore attacks?" Luna asked.
"No, no it wasn't a youma, he just made me think it was, but after Mrs. Nagano leaves today I have to go back over there and help him out with Hitomi."
"Hitomi is the baby he found last night, we're not sure yet, but the mother may have been attacked by a youma that completely disappeared."
"I'll look into it later." Usagi nodded and turned over in her bed feeling depressed. What if she really was pregnant and then what would she do. She was Sailor Moon, she couldn't have a baby. Soon Mrs. Nagano arrived and she was forced to drink very hot tea and disgusting green pea soup. After that she cried as Mrs. Nagano watched her eat her Kurimanju. She'd swore to never eat kurimanju again until Mamoru was her boyfriend again especially Mrs. Nagano's kurimanju, she made the worse kurimanju she'd ever tasted.
"You get some rest now Usagi, I'll tell your mother I came over and took care of you for a little while, its just to bad my husband insists I go with him away on business today or I'd come back tomorrow, I know how much you love my kurimanju."
"Oh its my favorite," Usagi lied. Mrs. Nagano smiled and left. Usagi heard her husband's car start up and she watched them drive off before running into the bathroom and puking up every last bit of it.
"Usagi are you alright?" Luna asked.
"Yes, just tell Mamo-chan that we'll have to take care of her over here and to not let anyone see him enter my house or the neighbors will talk and my parents will know." Luna nodded and ran towards the window. Once she was gone, Usagi took out the home pregnancy kit. She followed all the instructions and waited for the timer to go off.
Oh no! Is Usagi pregnant or does she have the stomach flu and is being paranoid. Find out on the next Sailor Moon.
A/n: I'm following my own adive and adding a sailor moon says.
"If you go out and have adult fun make sure you always use adult protection, and under no circumstances should you not look up all the consequences for this adult fun and should be able to tell the difference between the stomach flu and pregnancy. Sailor Moon says!" Let your mommy and daddy have all the fun!"
