Mamoru buttoned his white crisp shirt as he threw Usagi's pink dress at her, laughing as it hit her face. Pulling the dress from her eyes she looked to Mamoru in annoyance. "You could have just handed it to me" he shrugged kissing her forehead "There is no fun in that" he whispered. Standing he made his way out the bedroom, "Now get up so we can make some breakfast" Usagi smiled as she slipped out of bed, walking to her overnight bag she reaches in to pull out a clean pair of underwear, feeling her box of tampon she frowned.
Realization hit hard, grabbing her phone she opened pressed My Calendar app and stared at the brown cat, pictured by her calendar…
'You're a Month Late'
Throwing her things back into her, Usagi quickly dressed and exited the room. Her heart was racing and her palms were sweaty. Hearing the bedroom door open, Mamoru smiled "It's about time you-"he stopped looking at her confused. His princess exited his room with her bag tightly held against her chest. "Usako, I thought you were keeping your things here?"
Usagi stood as still as a statue, her eyes wide and fearful "Usako?" he asked worried, she shook her head pushing herself forward "I-I forgot I have to go"
Mamoru frowned at her nervous behavior, putting down the pot he made his way toward her, grabbing her before she could reach her shoes. "Hey" he whispered pulling her toward him. "What happened? You were just fine; we agreed to make breakfast together remember? What's going on Usako?"
Usagi remained silent as she looked at her feet refusing to look at him. "I just really need to go Mamoru" Mamoru let her go quickly; she never called him so formally…
"That day you ran out without an explanation…that's the day you…" he looked at her hurt.
Usagi said nothing, she pulled out a pair of pajamas and underwear. "here" she whispered, "Yes" she added pulling out some clothes for the next day, "I realized I was late when I found my tampons in my bag…" she stood lifting the box.
"You can't lift that!" he hissed pushing her hands away from the heavy box of clothes "I'll get it"
Usagi watched as Mamoru tried to lift the box, but it was an unsuccessful attempt "it's alright" she said picking the box up and placing it in its spot "I can take on Yuma's and evil being, I'm sure I can handle a little box" she shook her head "go change Mamo-chan its late and we could both use the rest"
He wanted to say something but one look at his princess and he could tell she was in no mood to talk.
Morning came early for Usagi; she quickly sat up feeling a wave of nausea. Jumping out of bed she ran into her bathroom emptying anything that was in her stomach put there the night before. Opening his eyes to the noise, Mamoru looked to the clock and saw it was 4 in the morning. Rubbing his eyes, he noticed that it was indeed not a dream, he was a child and by the sounds coming from his lover's bathroom-a soon to be father. Jumping out of bed Mamoru ran into the bathroom finding Usagi leaning against her porcelain toilet holding her long hair with one hand and the toilet seat with another. "Usako" he whispered pulling her hair back with both hands.
"I hate this" she mumbled as she flushed the toilet and stood up to wash her mouth "you would think after 3 week of this, I would be used to it…" she let a small laugh leave her lips as she brushed her teeth
"3 weeks? Usako, You've known for 3 weeks?!" Mamoru asked taking a seat on the edge of the bath tub
Usagi rinsed her mouth out and knelt down before Mamoru "a month, the morning sickness has been intense for the last 3 weeks" she looked to her hands before continuing "I was going to tell you, but there's been so many fights, every night being called out and then Chibi-usa showing up…in all honestly I had it all planed out to tell you last night" Usagi stood up and walked into her bedroom Mamoru following behind taking a seat on her bed as she opened her closet looking for something to wear "That's the reason I was late last night, that's why it took me so long to get to the battle"
"You shouldn't even be fighting!" he hissed, sighing as she turned to glare at him. "I understand that you have too…Usako" he looked to his small body, "With things as they are…we need to tell the Senshi…I…I can't protect you…not like this" he watched as she looked away her hand going to her stomach. "This doesn't change anything Usako" Mamoru finally said "We are engaged" he added looking at his princess "I'm more than excited about this…we're finally going to have a family"
Usagi turned to him watching as he smiled brightly "yea" she whispered a sad smile on her lips "a family" looking to the door, Usagi felt a need to check on Chibi-usa and Endy. "Why don't you try and get more sleep, I'm going to check on the kids"
"Usako" Usagi turned to Mamoru "Go to sleep Mamo-chan" she whispered. Opening the door, she gasped "Endy?" she knelt down before the weeping child, "What on earth are you doing here?"
"Endy?" Mamoru walked over "Why are you crying?"
The child said nothing, he threw his arms around Usagi and held her tightly, crying into her chest. "Come here" she whispered lifting him into her arms and carrying him to the bed. "Mamo-chan shut the door, I don't want to wake up Chibi-usa…she has school, I don't want her falling asleep" Sitting the small child on the bed, Usagi knelt down before him. "Okay, so why are you crying Endy? Did something happen?"
"I-I had a bad dream" he whimpered as he flung himself into Usagi's arms again. Usagi smiled sweetly as she rubbed his back gently, rocking him back and forth.
"A bad dream huh?" he nodded again as she pulled away from him. Leaning back, she thought for a moment, "You know, my mom had a cure for that sort of thing"
"Really? What would she do?"
"Well, it involves some warm milk and a chocolate chip cookie" Endy's eyes lit up. "That's my kind of cure!" he smiled, tears now gone.
Usagi smiled as he happily ate his cookie and drank his warm milk. "Mom does this for him" Usagi turned "Chibi-usa, oh no-did we wake you?"
She shrugged, "It's Alright-I couldn't sleep anyway…to worried he'd wonder off"
"He has bad dreams often?" Mamoru asked as he stood beside the pink haired girl.
She rubbed the back of her head nervously, "Only sometimes…"
"Chibi-usa?" Mamoru eyed his daughter, "Why do I have a feeling you have something to do with this?"
She groaned "Oh come on, their just stories…harmless little scary stories…. nothing massively scary…I mean…how many times can someone read Dr. Seuss?"
"I think you should go to bed now Chibi-usa" Usagi rolled her eyes. "I can't fault you for doing the same thing I did to Shingo…but please keep your antics in the future…"
After an hour and a belly full of warm milk and cookies, Usagi gently placed Endy in the middle of her bed as he slept soundly. "Remind me to never let Chibi-usa read him any bed time stories" Mamoru whispered. Usagi laughed softly as she nodded in agreement.
After a quick shower, Usagi found Mamoru trying to fix breakfast "here" she said pulling a chair into the kitchen for him to stand on "this is embarrassing" he mumbled as he stood atop the chair.
Usagi laughed "it's alright" she assured "remember when Chibi-usa and I were switched?"
Mamoru laughed at the memory "god I hated that"
Usagi nodded "believe me I hated it more than you" she shook her head as he began to crack eggs in to a large bowl "Don't worry Mamo-chan, Ami-chan will find a solution…she always does" the two shared a small smile before Usagi went back to cooking "why don't I finish breakfast and you set the table?" Mamoru nodded grabbing the plates Usagi placed on the counter for him "remember one at a time"
After setting the table and placing the food in the middle Usagi smiled as she looked to Mamoru it was now 7 "I'll go wake Chibi-usa and Endy" Mamoru said before Usagi stopped him
"wait, Chou will be here any minute, my parents are expecting Chibi-usa to be here but Endy…I won't be able to explain him" she said with a worried look "he looks too much like you, and knowing my dad he'll think we had some secret love child"
Mamoru thought about it for a moment before agreeing. As if on que a knock came to the door "USAGI!" they heard her dad yell "go hide!" Usagi whispered as Mamoru ran off
"I swear if that man is in there with you I'll- "
Usagi quickly opened her door with an annoyed look "Dad! What are you trying to do, get me kicked out of my building?!"
"Where is he?!" Kenji asked looking around as he held Chou in his arms. She looked exactly like Ikuko with her deep purple hair in two pigtails with her big brown eyes like her father "dear calm down" Ikuko warned as she hugged Usagi "we can't stay; we need to get going." Ikuko bent over kissing Chou on the forehead "be good for your big sister"
Chou nodded as she and Usagi waved good bye to their parents, Ikuko dragging Kenji out by his collar
"Nee-chan" the three years old smiled "Chou hungy!" Usagi smiled at her little sister picking her up and placing her on her buster seat "Mamo-Mamo" the three-year-old yelled "Chou want Mamo!"
"Hi Chou-chan" Mamoru greeted walking up to the little girl
Chou stared at the little boy beside her "Mamo?" she asked looking at him strangely "Mamo no wittle, Mamo big" she raised her arms flinging egg on to the floor
"Do I smell Bacon?" Chibi-usa asked as she took her seat at the table
"Chibi-chan!" Chou cheered
"Good morning Chou-chan" Chibi-usa smiled sweetly at her small aunt
"Food" came Endy tired voice "need food"
Chibi-usa laughed as her brother rubbed his eyes taking his seat on the other side of Chibi-usa. "I see you had another night mare, had to sleep with mommy and daddy again?"
Endy growled as he put a fork full of eggs in his mouth, "Your fault Baka!"
"Chibi-usa leave Endy alone" Usagi warned, "Endy don't call your sister baka, I was meaning to ask you, do your parents know the type of stories you tell him? I find it hard to believe that the Queen and King would have you tell their son stories knowing you're trying to scare him"
The pink haired princess's eyes widened, she had forgotten that the two people in front of her were her future parents. "It's not my fault! I swear, it's all her fault I tell him those type of stories" Everyone turns to the happy three years old. "Sure she may be cute now but wait till she's a teenager, she's really creepy" Endy nods in agreement as Usagi and Mamoru turned to the happy toddler. An unspoken agreement to never allow their Aunt Chou around their children at bedtime set or unsupervised was set.
Breakfast was entertaining to say the least
Chou made a mess of her food, egg, bacon, butter and ketchup lined Usagi's floor and table as chocolate milk covered the three-year old's body and the bowl that held her breakfast sat atop her head.
Endy ended up spilling his milk on himself as he reached for more ketchup, even though Usagi insisted she would do it for him but being a typical six-year-old, he insisted that he could do it himself.
Chibi-usa thank goodness, was old enough not to make a mess. However, that did not keep her from teasing her brother, which only resulted in tears and yelling.
As for Mamoru he was having a hard time handling everything. He still hadn't adjusted to his size, causing him to drop his eggs on the floor and dropping his plate causing it to smash into pieces.
Usagi hadn't eaten, once sitting down the smell of eggs caused the princess to run to the bathroom, nausea taking control of her.
Now she was on her hands and knees picking up the glass and cleaning up the mess. Mamoru had insisted he'd help but due to his size ended up cutting himself. Once she was finished she picked Chou up and had Endy follow her to the bathroom where she gave the two of them a bath.
Chibi-usa frowned as Usagi followed her to school. "You know I'm old enough to walk myself" she pulled on her back pack straps in irritation.
"Stop your grumbling Chibi-usa, with this new enemy lurking about I'd feel better seeing you off myself" looking down at Mamoru she sighed, "after what happened to Mamo-chan we can't take any chances…"
Nodding her head in defeat, "You know I am Crystal Sailor Moon…"
"Just because you're a Senshi doesn't guarantee safety Chibi-usa…a little humility would do a world of good" Mamoru advised.
"It's so weird hearing you speak when you're so tiny Mamo-chan…" The pink haired pre-teen shook her head. "You sound like my dad but look like my brother…" she rolled her eyes, "I'm surprised I'm not in therapy…" she grumbled.
Walking up to the large school, Chibi-usa turned to her companions. "You don't need to walk me through the gate do you?"
"Chibi-Usa!" turning to the gate, the pink haired princess waved to her friend Momo. "No, we don't" Usagi smiled pulling out five dollars. "Sorry I hadn't had the chance to make you lunch"
"It's alright Usagi, I honestly prefer the money to a stomach ache" she laughed at Usagi's glaring eyes as she waved bye to her family. "That stinking little brat!" the blond muttered
"Mommy wasn't kidding, Onee-san is a pain in the past…" he looked up at Usagi and smiled, "Don't worry past Mommy, she is way more respectful in the future, in fact she's kind of a mommy's girl"
Usagi laughed, "I'm sure" shaking her head she knelt down to the small child. "Hey Endy, as much as I like you calling me mommy,"
The boy frowned, "You want me to stop don't you?" he looked sad.
"I'm not trying to hurt your feelings Endy but I'm only 18 and unmarried…so why won't you call me Usagi like your sister does?"
Shaking his head, he continued to look at his hands. "It would be wrong to call you anything else but mommy…" he whispered. "besides…It makes me not miss my mommy so much"
Pulling him into her arms, she hugged him tightly. "hey kiddo, then why not call me" she thought for a moment, "call me Usagi-Ahm?"
"That's mother in Arabic!" Endy smiled as Usagi looked surprised. "All royal children learn all sorts of languages, Mommy can speak every language in the whole galaxy!" he looked to his twin and smiled "She even knows more then you daddy"
Usagi felt proud, "Well…I never thought there would be a day" she laughed causing Mamoru so shake his head. "will that work Endy?" he nodded enthusiastically. "I'll just call daddy, Mamo…no chan…that's gross" he stretched out his arms and took a big breath. "This is the best vacation ever! It's like summer vacation"
"Ha, I hate to break it to you kid but you'll be attending school first thing tomorrow morning. Ami already has you in rolled. I got a text this morning" Endy pouted.
"School is fun Endymion, truly the best time of your life" Mamoru smiled remembering his younger years after the accident.
"I'm glad you think so Mamo-chan because you'll be joining him"
Mamoru stopped walking "Wait what?!" "School?!" Mamoru yelled shaking his head "I'm far too old to attend kindergarten Usako!"
"Usagi-ahm, Mamo's right. Please, no school!" Endy whined "besides, I'm really super smart…the school won't be able to handle me"
Mamoru crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm a med student at Tokyo General Usako, top of my class and soon to be a resident! I think learning my ABC's and 123's is pushing it"
"No school no school" Chou repeated
Usagi rolled her eyes. "look, if people in this town see two perfectly healthy school age children NOT attending classes they will ask questions, questions we don't need nor want"
"What about the spell Usako? How will you explain to my kindergarten teacher and classmates that I'm older?!"
"Ami is taking care of the data base and Luna is using the Luna P to take care of everyone's memories."
"well you just thought of everything haven't you?!" he grunted
"I don't have anything to wear" Endy added "I go to a special school…for royal children…what do I wear at a regular school Usagi-Ahm?"
"That is why we are going shopping."
