Me: I'll update tomorrow!
Also Me: (two days later) oh yeeaah.

Back again with an update. I've had some theories building in the comments and you guys were making me excited and nervous! So here, the answer you've all been waiting for. If you'd like to express how horrible I am for making a highschool girl pregnant, go hate me over on Twitter! Update notifications, my daily rambles and information about my AO3 account. I will also take requests and answer questions over there.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S FLYING BACK?!" Usagi squealed.

"I said I think he's flying back! I mean...where else would he fly to on such short notice?" Minako said calmly to Usagi through her communicator.

"Mina-chan! He can't come back!"

"If you'd just told him sooner-"

"I was scared! How do you think you'd react if your high school-aged girlfriend was pregnant?!"

"Don't yell so much, you'll upset the baby."

"The baby is the least of my problems at the moment." Usagi sighed. "I've gotta think of something. Talk again later."

Usagi hung up and tossed the communicator away, resting her hand on the small swell of her stomach.

She had found out less than a month ago, up until then she was still convinced it was stress making her so ill. It was after a short battle, she fainted and had terrible night sweats while unconscious. She'd been carried to Ami's house until they were sure she was alright, and it was Ami's advanced moon technology that picked up a second, almost nonexistent heartbeat. Naturally, Ami made sure the other Senshi didn't find out until Usagi took a few pregnancy tests to be sure.

Much to everyone's surprise, Usagi hadn't even noticed her tummy expanding after the 4-ish month mark.

She still wasn't blatantly obvious, just a small bump easily hidden by a dress.

Her Mama and Papa weren't impressed at first, but not once did the idea of 'terminating' the pregnancy even appear on the table.

She wasn't proud of getting pregnant before finishing school, but she knew that Mamoru would support her decision and look after their child.

That's where the first problem arose - Mamoru had no idea she was pregnant. Usagi had been terrified enough to tell her parents, but the idea of telling Mamoru was scarier than any enemy she had ever faced.

And now she didn't have a choice.

She arose from her position on the sofa and walked into the kitchen, her Mother was busy washing the breakfast dishes.

"I'm fairly certain I've heard the important details." Ikuko said without facing her daughter. "So my Usagi-chan, what are you going to do?"

"I'm scared Mama." Usagi whispered, walking to stand beside her Mother and began drying the stack of dishes.

"It's always scary the first time you tell them. Yet no matter how many kids you have, he'll react the exact same way." Ikuko said gently.

"Faint?"

"Well your Papa vomited, but generally speaking it's a similar reaction."

Usagi sighed sadly as Ikuko rested her wet hand on her daughter's shoulder.

"Either you tell him and face the consequences, or don't tell him and face the consequences."

Usagi pouted. "That's not as helpful as you think it is Mama."

"What it means, is that there'll be consequences no matter what choice you made. It's up to you to make the right one."

"I guess…"

"When will be home?"

"An hour, maybe? I don't know."

"Go take a walk and think about it."

Usagi nodded, kissed her Mother on the cheek and headed to the door. Slipping on her shoes and a large coat to cover up her baby bump, she called a goodbye to her household and walked outside. She lost herself in thought, her feet carrying her into an unknown direction.

"I wish I wasn't so scared to tell Mamo-chan, I know that even if he doesn't want the baby then he'll still make sure we're both well and looked after. Maybe I'm scared that he won't feel the same after he meets the baby, and we'll stay together in a loveless marriage. I couldn't bear that, Mamo-chan deserves better than that."

Usagi found herself standing outside the arcade, the idea of a large chocolate milkshake making her smile and wander through the door. She's greeted immediately by Motoki, who was sweeping a few metres from the doors.

"Morning Usagi, I haven't seen you in a while, are you alright?"

Usagi sat up at the counter. "I haven't been well recently. But I'm okay. Did you hear Mamo-chan is coming back today?"

"No, he's not due for another month."

"There was an emergency, they had to be evacuated."

"Man that's scary!"

"I think I'll need a milkshake to calm my nerves."

"Coming right up!"

Motoki set the broom aside and went about making Usagi a milkshake, said girl rested her chin in her palm.

"Motoki, you know how you're really good at giving advice?"

Motoki rested the glass in front of Usagi. "Is it about Mamoru?"

"Kinda, it's mostly about me."

"Go on…"

"Firstly, I need to announce that I'm pregnant."

Motoki smiled. "Makoto-chan told me, made me promise not to tell."

"That damned Makoto!"

Usagi explained her fears, her hand resting on her belly gently. Motoki nodded his head every so often to let her know that he was listening, and when she was finished he took a moment to think.

"I agree with your Mama, no matter what happens there's gonna be different consequences."

"Argh! Not helping Motoki!"

Motoki raised his hands in surrender. "There's not much else I can say Usagi-chan, it's all up to you."

Usagi groans, resting her head on the counter. After a few moments of silence, Motoki speaks again.

"Can I be Godfather?"

"No."

Motoki pouted as his phone began buzzing, he took it out from his apron pocket and answered.

"Mokoti here. Oh...hey there Mamoru."

Usagi froze.

"Really? Sure, I can pick you up. 20 minutes? Too easy. Bye."

Usagi couldn't breathe, she could feel tears rising in her eyes.

"Not yet, not yet, I'm not ready. Not yet."

"Do you want me to drive you home? It's cold out, and I'm just about finished here." Motoki offered.

"You can't let Mamo-chan come to my house. You just can't." Usagi almost panicked.

"I'll see what I can do, but for now, I'm taking you home."
