While the knowledge of knowing something happened between Mamoru and Michiru existed in her thoughts, for now she tried to forget about it. Until the morning but even then she was unsure. As Haruka would need gather her nerves to tell Usagi, she hung out with Neiva it was a change of scenery and it helped her.

As they went to some karaoke place Haruka manage to start a conversation with Neiva. "You know we've been going on and on about my problems, I don't recall ever knowing a thing about you." When she looked at the slightly shorter woman she could tell Neiva wasn't expecting it.

"Cause there's really not to too much to tell." While they waited for their room, Neiva began to talk. "I mean I've been in good relationships and bad relationships but I don't mind." She began to chuckle, "ya know I was beginning to think it was me. Like I can't be with someone... like I'm suppose to be alone forever." A room had opened up and the server escorted them, "I know its pretty dull but sometimes its nice to blow out stress and steam."

"I could use it."

It continued on from there. Haruka learned Neiva was an out of work hairdresser and would pick up odd jobs here or there. That despite her friendliness, Neiva was quite shy. Haruka begin to open up more and more that when it slipped she was friends with Usagi, Neiva didn't react any differently, she even said someone's personal life is their own problems not the worlds, Haruka thanked her for keeping the secret. Eventually they got into singing some songs though Haruka refused to, Neiva kept asking her to even to the point of her getting on her knees and begging. Haruka couldn't help but smile and gave in.

Later, the blonde took Neiva home. It was almost elven, "Neiva I was wondering, why did you dye your hair?"

The girl played with the ends of her hair, making braids in random places. "A bet. A couple of months ago, my friends bet I wouldn't go platinum, let alone for a year. So I went to a salon, got it done...four months later I'm still this color." Nevis laughed tiredly. She told her to turn right and they were in an apartment complex parking lot, Haruka parked her car in an empty spot near the building.

"I can walk you up." Haruka offered.

Neiva turned it down and put her hand on the door, "you know. I'm not sure if what I hear is true or not, now don't tell me, but if you were to tell Usagi about what happened between your fiance and her husband it might put unneeded stress on her body, if I were you I'd pick a good time to tell her, you know?" Neiva looked at Haruka, it was the first time Haruka noticed she had dark gold-bronze eyes.

"Yeah..."

"Believe me, it's better to deal with this before a child comes into the world." She added then paused for a minute. "Other than that," she smiled. "I had fun even though you're pretty tone deaf; hope you did too."

Haruka nodded and told Neiva goodnight, out of habit she leaned over to her. Neiva stopped her by questioning her actions." Sorry." Haruka told her, though it was hard to tell Neiva lightly blushed.

"Y-yeah. Night Haruka." She said getting out of the car and going towards the apartments. Haruka pulled off but notice in her rear viewed mirror that she was on the fourth floor and saw what apartment she went into, when she caught herself smiling and in thought a car behind her honked their horn.

The days passed as Haruka got ready for the upcoming racing event. Eventually the woman got around to asking Neiva about her being at tracks that day. She asked if she was a driver herself.

She had a laughing fit, "no no no, my friend races see that guy," she pointed at a man across the field. He was getting out of his car from another almost accident. "I'm here for support."

"He's lucky." Haruka said, "having a cute girl like you at his side."

Though Haruka's words flew pass Neiva she shook her head, "nah. He's terrible and needs new hobby." She laughed."Every time he comes back from the track it's seriously a miracle no one got hurt. Especially him."

Haruka began to chuckle at Neiva making fun of him. The woman waved goodbye to Haruka as she went to man who was clumsy getting out of the car. Haruka shook her head at the same time her phone rang, it was Michiru's ringtone. She didn't bother to answer it. Instead she watched as Neiva was making exaggerated body movements. Still with that smile. The man had ignored her and walked to the locker rooms. At that moment she adjusted her pastel green lace strap tank top. As she fixed her shorts, Neiva caught Haruka looking. Raising her hand to her face to hide her embarrassment she walked to the vending machines.

Then a week went by, Haruka thought instead of telling Usagi herself she should let Mamoru tell his wife. Like how she was giving Michiru the chance to come clean, yet she hasn't. It was tearing Haruka up inside because she was so furious and she had enough of being played. While Usagi was out with Luna, she surprised Mamoru while he was working on his bike.

"Harauka, it's been a long time now."

"Save it." She spoke harshly. "Don't play dumb with me, I know you slept with Michiru and if you have any respect for me left, you'll tell me the truth," Haruka paused and took a very deep breath. "Is she having your baby?" Haruka asked as she closed her eyes, it was the most painful thing to ask.

Mamoru sat at his work bench and hung his head, his black hair hiding his face-no his shame. "Yes." He finally said. "Did she tell you?"

Tears silently broke free from her shut eyes. Haruka wanted to say a lot to bring him down a peg or two. About being so unfaithful to Usagi, someone he didn't deserve. But she kept her problems from it. "You have until the end of this week to tell Usagi."

When he heard that he stood up quickly, " whoa. Don't you know what that would do to her?" He questioned, "Michiru told me how much you two wanted a baby. Can't we-"

"What the hell is that?!" Haruka snapped. "Just because two women can't have a baby biologically together it's suppose to be okay you slept with her. Like I am supposed to be grateful to you!" Haruka stormed to him, "how dare you think that way! You cheated and so did she. That is not okay, you betrayed us, hurt us, I don't care if you're sorry now that will never," she got closer to his face, "never stop the pain. Bunny won't be left in the dark you will tell her or I will!"

By now Haruka has grabbed Mamoru by the collar of his shirt. His expression was mix with shock as well as fear. "You're such a sorry excuse for a man, you don't even deserve the title King ." Haruka's words were beyond cold as she let go of him but did she feel better. Now she was going to let Michiru know. That's where all her anger should be. It was wrong but so is stringing her along and making a fool at of her.

As Haruka left him there, Mamoru dug in his pocket and looked at his cell. His mind heavily debating.

I looked into the finished nursery. It had colors of blue, green, and yellow. A finished crib and changing area. It took sometime to get together but it was done. Clothes in the closet. Simple unisex outfits. I took my hair out of the ponytail, the ends brushed against my swollen and enlarged breasts. It was awesome but a pain because milk would leak every now and then.

I went to the kitchen, the pass few weeks Haruka as been distance. I don't know if it's because the baby is coming soon or what. But she has. I remember calling her one day a week ago and she ignored me! The nerve. But you know what it'll be fine, when the baby is here she'll be her teddy bear self. I know she has been practicing at the race track so her mind is wrapped into that mess.

Making a simple snack, I wonder how life would be like with a newborn. It'll be different this time. It'll-the phone rang. I hurried to pick up my cell being careful of my beach ball size uterus." Hello?"

"Michiru!"

It was Usagi, lately we've been getting so close. I love it. "What's going on?" I asked.

"I know you're close to the end of your pregnancy but was wondering if you would like to attend a breathing class with me?"

"Huh?"

"Well I forgot the name but I saw what happens during birth and it looks horrible!" Usagi cried which turned into a laugh. "Would you?"

"No problem, Usagi. How's tomorrow?"

"Perfect!"

I said goodbye and hung up. I heard the car door slam. Haruka is here, if I could I'd jump for joy. I grabbed my ham and turkey sandwich with three different cheeses with BBQ chips smashed in. Lately I've been craving Western style food. "Haruka!" I said cheerfully but when she came in the house her expression was off.

"Michiru..." she said.

I set my food down and walked over to her, "what happened." When I went to hold her hand, like I usually would she pulled away. "Haruka?"

"For weeks I've been wondering what I should do or how I should approach this and no matter what it's never easy." She told me. "You love me right?"

"Of course I do, what would make you-"

Haruka raised her hand, "anytime I was gone. Any time, Michiru, were you ever unfaithful to me?"

I saw the look in her eyes, desperate and sad, I wasn't expecting this and I know she could tell. I forced a smile, "sweetie come on where is this coming from?"

"Don't! Don't treat me like an idiot. Michiru answer my question, please!" Now anger filled her once sweet voice.

"Haruka," I felt a sharp pain in my belly and sides. It happened before but this felt odd. I looked at her. "Haruka this isn't a good time too-" I leaned over on the couch, I could stand.

"So when is it a good time to tell me you slept with Mamoru and having his child?!" She raised her voice. I quickly looked at Haruka my eyes wide opened. I saw tears in her eyes. "I know I felt the same when I found out...how could you?"

I don't know if it was the shock of her finding out or this pain but I couldn't feel my legs. "Haruka...I didn't want you to find out that way...whatever way you did but-"

"So how were you going to tell me? When twenty years go by the kid is in college and then I noticed the similarities between the child and Mamoru?" Haruka spoke.

I could feel a dull pain go down my legs. "N-no. It...it was a mistake, Haruka...I " I couldn't think of what to say.

"No. Using your own keys to get into someone else's car that looks like yours is a mistake. But fucking some one, that's is not a mistake!" Haruka balled her fists, "you can't mistake a dick for a vagina. I know its not the same but was I not enough for you? Is that it Michiru?" She asked me.

"I think I'm having the baby, Haruka." I mumbled. When I looked in her eyes I saw nothing but anger and hatred. "I'm so sorry Haruka. I am but I need a hospital."

It took some time but she was able to get me to the hospital. The doctors got me in a room and hooked me up to monitors. Watching the baby's health and my own. The whole time I couldn't look Haruka in the face. I was so ashamed. Even after I was safely in the room and they explained to me I was going into labor. I was early and they were worried. Though I was only thirty weeks.

When we were alone in the white room, Haruka glared out the window. "I..."

"There's nothing you can say to make this better." She didn't look at me. "I didn't everything for you. I mean, after all the years we've been together and fought for and beside each other. I knew I wanted to be with you forever. Then...this..."

"I know it was stupid. But it meant nothing Haruka, we had a drink or two. Mamoru was having trouble with Usagi-"

"Their marriage is not our problem or business. We are only friends he had other people to talk to...like his wife!" She yelled.

"I know but..."

Haruka walked away from the window and to me. "I don't even know what to do. I've never been so unsure in my life." She reached into her jean pocket. I watched as her closed hand rested on the night stand next to me. "All I know is that I need space, Michiru..."

Watching her walk away was tearing me up. "H-haruka, wait! Just come back here, please!" I begged. But she didn't come back. The door closed. I put my hands over my face as I cried my eyes out. I was here in this room, alone. No one to be with me. I looked at the night stand. I reached over and grabbed the golden circle with a thin chain going through it.

What I thought was a symbol of our everlasting relation, was now a sign it was over.
