------------------------------ How to make a "suggestion"….----------------

Usagi was in the study. She was supposed to be studying but she couldn't do it. So, she closed the huge leather book and walked to the large window. The whole room was bathed in white and Usagi looked outside.

Usagi was nervous. A whole week had passed since she saw Mamoru. Somehow that had made her nervous. She hadn't talked to him and she felt herself get slightly better and strangely worse. However, she knew time was coming short for her and she had a sense of dread about it.

She didn't want to take over the company. In fact, she hated the company. It had always driven the people she had cared about away. But she also recognized her duty and she held it high. Still, she had her doubts.

"Aren't you supposed to be studying or something?" asked a smooth voice.

Usagi turned around so quickly that it had made her dizzy. But she could live with that, right now, though, she wanted to know why her mother was here.

"Even the best of us need rest." Usagi lied smoothly and sat down at her desk, looking towards the window. Serenity threw a tan folder on the desk and spoke up.

"Especially if you're pregnant." She said smiling. Suddenly Usagi's eyes widened.

-------

"Ne, guys? I'm boooored!" whined Mina as she sat on the ivory couch lazily.

Ami was reading something, Rei was listening to something on the television and Makoto was cooking something, the frying pan making sizzling noises and making Mina's stomach growl. Suddenly Ami looked up, taking the glasses off her eyes and looking at her watch, suddenly standing up.

"Well, you won't be any longer. If I'm right Serenity-sama has received the envelope." Rei suddenly looked curiously at her.

"What do you mean, Ami?" Ami frowned slightly.

"Well, I managed to get some hospital files. Usagi's hospital files. I got Zoicite to send it to me, since he said he couldn't come."

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked an impatient Mina

"Well, Serenity-sama received it instead of me. I know since it should have arrived a few minutes ago and I should have received it from her by now. She probably looked at it before giving it to me. Or not giving it to me." She said looking down,

"So what?" Mina said flippantly. Ami shook her head and sighed.

"Well, we haven't told her that Usagi's pregnant!" she said testily.

Suddenly someone screamed.

"WHAT!!!???"

. Everyone, even Makoto, turned around and suddenly became scared. They saw a scary looking Haruka and an annoyed Michiru walking towards them.

"What did you say?"

They gulped.

--------

Usagi looked away from her mother and spoke up.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said coolly. However, she was nervous that her mother would see through her.

Serenity smiled and spoke up.

"Of course you do! Although, I'm not surprised that you didn't even mention it to me. You were never really good at telling me what was happening in your life."

Usagi began to get annoyed and looked her mother straight in the eye.

"Look" she began testily "do you want to get in a fight with me?" she said harshly. Serenity just shook her head.

"Of course not. After all, you're having such a difficult time already. You have to be careful so that you don't lose it." Serenity reasoned. Usagi started.

"My baby is not an it! My baby is a beautiful girl." She said. Serenity smirked.

"Of course it-pardon me- your baby is a girl. We can only have girls. But our family line also has difficulties with childbirth so you have to be extra careful, like your doctor said." Serenity finished with a sigh.

A part of her was truly worried for her grandchild. Not that Usagi could tell.

"What do you mean?" Usagi asked, Serenity smiled a grim smile.

"What I mean is that it is very difficult with our family line to conceive a child. After the first it is nearly impossible. You have to have this baby. Please, take care of it, her."

And Usagi looked at her hands, trembling. Her most precious thing in this world was already in danger, and it killed her.

Serenity sighed and she took up the book Usagi had been studying.

"Continue reading it" she demanded. Suddenly Usagi knew what she had to do. Looking at her mother she spoke up.

"No. I'm not taking over this company." And she left the room. Serenity sighed, sad and yet delighted. All that girl needed was a push and she chose the right thing. After all, family was too important to lose.

(Mamoru's Mansion)

"Mamoru, I think you need a break." Said Malachite. Mamoru looked up, dazed, and found himself staring at the normally stoic man.

"What do you mean?" Mamoru asked.

Work was beautiful, it helped you when you were worried and comforted you with its success. Besides, he felt that work didn't let him think of Usagi, which was a bonus. Malachite inhaled, annoyed.

"You are not going to work yourself to death; it's a lost cause. I booked a vacation spot. You are going to leave tonight. Get to packing." Mamoru stared at Malachite, confused. He had never done something like this to Mamoru before. Normally it was someone else, like Jadeite. Mamoru sighed, he must have been acting completely strange then because Malachite didn't just do these things.

"Fine. Were to then?" Mamoru sighed. Malachite spoke up again.

"To the Bahamas. A cabby will pick you up there and take you to the hotel." And then he left. Mamoru sighed as he went to his room to pick things up.

Meanwhile in another room Malachite's phone rang.

"Yes?" he asked impatiently. An excited sound came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, I gave him the tickets." Another chipper sound came out. Malachite sighed.

"Look, Mina, I gave it to him because I was somewhat worried, not for you." Suddenly a laughing sound came from the other end of the phone and then a sad sound emitted from it. Malachite suddenly frowned.

"Then why do you continue pursuing me?" and then a sigh came out followed by a beeping sound. Mina had hung up and Malachite had the feeling that she was somewhat disappointed in him, and he didn't know why.

----------------

"Where do you think you're going young lady?!" roared Haruka as she trapped Usagi in her room.

Usagi shrugged as she pulled out her pink suitcases and began to pack.

"Away", she answered despondently. Haruka almost blew up.

"What do you mean away?! You've been away so long, come back for a week and then you just pack and leave without even mentioning the baby?! My niece?!!!" she burst out, her face red. Usagi looked up.

"Who told you?" she asked, everyone seemed to know now. Haruka replied scathingly,

"Obviously not you!" Then she grabbed Usagi's arm and asked again.

"Where are you going?" Usagi stared at her face for a few seconds and plainly saw the hurt and worry she held there.

"I… I don't really know." Haruka spoke up again.

"How can you leave and not know where you're going?" she said it silently now, contrasting her previous attitude, more dangerous, in Usagi's opinion. Usagi sighed and looked up again.

"Well, I'm becoming too… stressed. It's hurting the baby." Suddenly Haruka dropped her arm, surprised.

"D-Did I hurt you?" she asked, suddenly scared. Usagi rubbed her arm, which was turning slightly pink.

"Not really, but, I just… I just can't work right now and I really wanted to have some time off. I know… I know that I already had a break but… with all that went on it seemed more like a long party than some quiet time. I'm sorry." She said, abashed. Haruka chuckled a bit and Usagi peeked at her for a bit.

"Well, of course it was more like a party; you were with Mina, right? How did you ever expect to rest?" Usagi had to chuckle a bit at that.

"The thing is, at the time I just wanted to be with my friend." She said. Haruka snorted.

"What, I'm not your friend?" she seemed insulted and Usagi suddenly turned red.

"That…. I didn't mean it like that!!!!! You're more like a parent/friend to me!" and Haruka just chuckled.

"So, when are we going?" and at the second Usagi immediately spoke up.

"I'm going alone! I need some time by myself!" Haruka's face suddenly seemed to darken. Usagi was about to add something else when the door suddenly opened with Mina bursting in.

"Usagi!!!!!!!!!!!" she shrilled. Haruka stared at her and moodily asked her to leave. Mina just smiled.

"Of course not! I just won a raffle and I heard your mother say you were going on a vacation! So, being the good person I am… I decided to give it to you!" Haruka interrupted.

"She's not going." Usagi spoke up.

"Oh, yes I am. It's a perfect chance, but what's the catch?" she asked, a bit suspiciously. Mina just waved it off.

"What catch?! I wouldn't do that to you!!!! It's just an unexpected present and guess where too?! The Bahamas!!! Aren't I great?" Usagi chuckled and went up to hug her.

"Thank you." She whispered and left with her half filled suitcase.

Meanwhile Haruka was fuming and screamed at Mina.

"What you'd do that for?! Didn't you hear about her condition?!" Mina sighed and spoke up,

"Of course, Serenity just told us." Haruka became red with fury.

"And you let her go alone!!!!!?" Suddenly Mina's eyes seemed to sparkle.

"Oh, no not alone.'' And suddenly she whipped out 6 tickets.

"I wasn't prepared to miss out on the ultimate make up!!!!" she squealed, her eyes shining. Haruka sweat dropped, still not really getting it.

-----------

It was warm and sunny and the sound of pools splashing and kids playing relaxed Usagi. The flight was long and Usagi wasn't entirely sure she was supposed to have flown but whatever. She was on a vacation, a real one. It had been so long.

Now there was only a little problem. She had left in such a hurry that she forgot most of her clothes. But that was somewhat okay, she was going to have buy new clothes sooner or later. She was pretty sure that she was starting to show and that meant that she needed new clothes. Plus, some of her clothes had been getting tight on her. She sighed, she was getting big, that had never happened with her before.

And now, with no one with her, she was independent and even though she'd miss them, she knew she was excited about this new independence.

Meanwhile about a few blocks away were the girls in what they called camouflage. Truthfully, it was just them wearing striped, long shirts with shorts.

Ami pointed this out while Mina just waved it off saying that the "real" them would never wear something this tacky. Ami began coughing a bit and turned red. It turned out that she found these kinds of things comfortable. Mina laughed in her face.

But Mina was also looking around for someone, Mamoru. She knew that he would be here; she spent a small fortune for this, so he'd better.

--------------

Usagi took another look at the pink swimsuit with white polka dots and sighed. She'd really been determined not to buy it, but it was a must. She might never see it again! Suddenly a flash of dark hair passed by and Usagi immediately turned around.

Nope, she was wrong, but she had been so sure that someone was following her. Her skin had been prickling all afternoon and she was sure she saw some of the girls every now and then. But when she turned around all she saw were some tacky looking tourists. Maybe they were stalking her. Usagi shook her head, that couldn't be. She was just paranoid, and maybe just a bit lonely.

Usagi just huffed and nodded, determined to enjoy her vacation as best as she could. But, still…

Usagi bought the swimsuit, suddenly content, and decided to go to the hotel. She had decided to shop before checking in, so that she didn't seem incredibly empty. But right now it felt like she was holding more than her maximum. It was so heavy. She was extremely grateful when someone from the hotel picked up her bags while she checked in.

The hotel was grand and it had a sophisticated, calm feeling to it. Usagi took a deep breath and walked up to her floor. You could hear the clip of her shoes as she walked into the elevator and when she reached the floor she stopped and looked around. It was sort of surprising to see that she had neighbors. There were two other doors in the hall, each made of ivory and the machine door lock. Usagi sighed and walked to her door, 262. Suddenly the elevator rang and Usagi turned around, hoping to receive her bags from the bell hop, only to see a dark haired, sunglasses wearing, and ruffled looking Mamoru. How great.

----------------

"Ah, yes. I'm such a genius! Here goes to the most beautiful matchmaker ever, Minako Aino!" Minako cheered as she saw Mamoru enter the elevator. Yes, she was a genius, wasn't she?

She turned around, expecting to see the other girls cheering along only to see them glaring at her, especially an overprotective Haruka.

"What. Were. You. THINKING?!" she said scarily as she hovered over Mina. Mina began trembling but then stopped and put her chin up.

"I was thinking that my friend Usagi needed a push and that she had to stop being stubborn. I know that they both regret their fight and I decided that I needed to help them. Is there something wrong with that?" she said defiantly.

Haruka stared at her, stunned, and began to speak through gritted teeth.

"Yes, there was! She needs time." She said. Minako sighed.

"She's had a week. Now come on, you have the room above them." She said. Haruka narrowed her eyes. Ami looked at her curiously, the rest of the girls were just too tired to fight.

"And where are you sleeping?" Suddenly Minako began to laugh scarily.

"The same floor! Better to hear the drama." She chuckled. Ami spoke up.

"And where did you even get the money for all these rooms, because I know you didn't win a raffle for it." she asked. Mina looked up towards the ceiling.

"I wonder where…." She paused then giggled. "I paid some money for it… my ticket mainly. You see I'm filming the music video for C'est la Vie and I needed mental support for it. I'm so nervous." She said with her head downcast and she was trembling.

The girls almost fell for it. Almost. Rei huffed and spoke up.

"Mina, you think we're gonna fall for that? You're an actress and you've done this many times before. So, you conned the producers?" she asked, annoyed. Mina smiled.

"Conned is such a mean word! I prefer 'forcefully persuaded.'" She grinned and began to walk up to the counter to check in her things. The group sighed as Rei checked her watch.

"Guys, I'll stay the night, but I also have work tomorrow. I'll be flying out. Is that okay?"

Ami and the rest nodded. They had lives and they'd been neglecting it. And, while it was for a good cause, they knew Usagi wouldn't be pleased with that.

-------------

Usagi blinked for a second and turned around to try and to open the door. As the door opened Mamoru dropped off of his stupor and held the door firmly before she could close it.

"What are you doing?!" demanded Usagi, still in shock. Mamoru blinked and cleared his throat.

"Uh, I don't know." He said. Usagi's eyes twitched.

"Well then, let go of the door." She said, now annoyed. Mamoru smirked.

"No." Usagi stood there for a second, her head now dizzy from confusion.

"I thought you were mad at me." She said. Mamoru sighed.

"I was… but I guess I felt guilty for making you mad. Not that I'm not annoyed that you lied to me." He said. Usagi stood there for a second and then opened the door slightly.

"I didn't lie to you." She said as she walked into her room. Mamoru, wisely, didn't say anything.

It was large and had a large dining room, a larger living room and a bedroom that had at least five closets. But the whole place was surrounded by ruby red coloring and it somewhat made Usagi feel uncomfortable. Suddenly she remembered that Mamoru was there and she went to the kitchen and looked at the fridge.

"Do want something?" she asked as she looked through it. It had some wine and was somewhat stocked.

"What do you have?" he asked, his head taking in the room. It wasn't very Usagi like. Usagi spoke up.

"Some white wine, red wine and some other stuff." She said. Mamoru nodded even though he knew she couldn't see him from the living room.

"Red wine, please." He said.

"Well, at least he's polite." Usagi murmured to herself as she got the bottle and a glass to give to him. Mamoru's eyebrows rose.

"None for you?" he asked teasingly. Usagi put her hand to her belly and spoke, not thinking.

"Of course not. It'd be bad for the baby." A pause. A cough. A Mamoru blinking as Usagi went to get water. And then there was another shock as she sat down next to him.

"You sure like shocking people, huh?" Mamoru said blandly. Usagi opened the bottle and poured it into the glass.

"Of course, especially freaky, ugly ones." Usagi shot back. Mamoru suddenly began to laugh, long and hard.

"Well then, I guess you don't shock me." And from there on Usagi and Mamoru began banter. It was comfortable, almost like how it was at his house before everything had gone so wrong.

But suddenly Usagi felt tired, so very tired, and she began to drink her cool water as she became quiet.

It was just strange, in a way, for Mamoru to be almost ignored so suddenly and he spoke, his eyebrows raised.

"Well, this is strange. You seem to be so moody. In fact-" Mamoru smirked as he looked at her, suddenly making slightly Usagi blush, never having seen him behaving like this with her. "- I think I need to cool off." Suddenly Usagi noticed a twinkle in his eye. She knew he was up to something.

And he didn't disappoint her in that respect, while her cheeks were slightly pink before, now they were rosy red as he took off his black tee-shirt and held his hands out to her. He was fully built and Usagi quickly became flustered.

"W-What was that for?!" she said, ill at ease. Mamoru smirked again.

"Well, I need to cool off. So I decided to take my shit off so I can go to the pool. Wanna come?" The question came so fast that Usagi could only nod mutely.

-------------

"Mina, what are we doing at the pool?" Michiru asked her, not seeing the point in waiting here. Mina was lounging, trying to get a sun tan in a striped orange and yellow swimsuit while all the other girls had similar ones, each color different and some two pieced and some not.

"Well, Michiru, I can't exactly get into their rooms without giving us up. So, this is better." She said lazily. Michiru raised an eyebrow.

"Well that's all fine until she comes down here." She said. Mina chuckled and spoke up.

"She won't come here with… the …baby….." she trailed off as Michiru pointed Usagi coming towards the pool. Mina coughed and spoke up.

"There's only one thing we can do now." She said. Michiru sighed, wishing she had stayed upstairs with Haruka.

"What?" she asked. Mina grabbed her arm.

"Hide!"

---------

Usagi sat down on one of the lounging chairs, waiting for Mamoru to have his fun and then leave. He didn't even get in the water, though. He sat down next to her. She was about to ask him what he was doing but she bit her tongue, knowing that that was what he wanted.
As a matter of fact, she would surprise him again.

"Why do you want the company so much?" she didn't expect to sound bitter, but it had just come out of her. Mamoru smiled.

"Its prospects are great. And it's very well know, which will enhance my reputation in turn. Also-" he was interrupted.

"Yeah, yeah, it's a great big bag of joy for you." Usagi said looking down. Mamoru ignored the jab.

"Why?" he asked, wondering the point of the question. She was probably trying to rub it into him, he though. Usagi sighed.

"Is the business that important?" she asked. Mamoru stared at her, hoping she would feel stupid for that question.

"Of course." Suddenly Usagi stared at him, something in her eyes.

"What would you do for it?" she asked, somewhat quiet. Mamoru raised his eyebrows.

"Anything, of course." He said incredulously. Usagi looked up.

"I would never give it away. And I need something to support my baby with…" she was rubbing salt on old wounds and he didn't like where this was going.

"But… I will give it to you-" it was too good to be true "-for a price"

He knew it, but he didn't care. He would give her all the money she wanted.

"What is the price?" he asked, back into business mode.

"My baby needs a father, and the company can only remain with me…" she murmured to herself, as if thinking hard on something. Mamoru could barely hear her, smirking to himself, thinking that he almost always got what he wanted.

"What is it?" he asked again. Usagi suddenly looked up and stared him in the eye.

"Marry Me."
