Chapter 12
The butch watches her future daughter as she talks to her adopted younger sister while handing her two small boxes. Hotaru goes in before Elora and takes the boxes into the living room. Elora trips not noticing the small step going into the house. With fast reflexes Haruka catches her but the box still hits the ground with soft 'thud'. "Sorry Elora, forgot to tell you about that." Haruka apologizes to smaller teen.
"It's okay, I've done worse, it's been flat ground I've tripped over." The teen says to her future-father figure. Haruka laughs as Elora picks the box up and takes it to the living room with the rest of the boxes.
"Elora, we have a spare room upstairs, first door on your right, I'll help you start moving these boxes up there." The mermaid like goddess says to her daughter picking up two boxes. Hotaru picks up the two small boxes she just brought in and follows her mother and older sister.
When the sun princess enters the room her jaw drops. "Your trusting me, the worst organizer ever, with this room, wow mama!" Elora states shocked. Michiru is shocked for a moment but smiles happy that the teen isn't shy to start calling her that right away.
"I'm sure you can manage to keep it clean." Michiru replies thinking that she can't be that bad. Terra walks in behind her aqua haired best friend.
"You might want to re-think that Michiru, I took a picture to blackmail Elora." Terra teases the young Sun goddess. The blonde teen turns with narrowed eyes to the Earth Goddess.
"Don't show mama or papa that picture it is three years old." Elora states defensively. Terra and Michiru laugh at the blushing teen.
"I won't Sunray, because you have taken better care of your room lately." Terra promises setting down the box she was holding.
"That's because I'm entering high school, and I plan on making a good first impression on new friends." Elora states matter-of-factly. Michiru senses more in that statement than what was said.
Little did the others know the teen goddess has kept a secret for two years now. Elora was afraid to admit it anyone, fearing that she'll be shunned for it. Even now when her own parents are gay she can't find the voice to come out just yet. "Elora, when was your grad supposed to happen, just so I can mark it on the calendar." Michiru asks remembering what Kohaku and her have chatted about for most of this week.
"It was supposed to happen in June, but it was changed to tomorrow, August 13, because my teacher had to move into his new home." Elora answers turning to her mother-figure.
"Alright, what time? Or is it still at ten?" Michiru asks further as Haruka comes up with two more boxes.
"Yeah, it's still at ten and..." Kohaku answers for her cousin coming in behind Haruka.
"These are the last four boxes." Haruka interrupts putting them by the glass door that leads out to a balcony. Kohaku gives Haruka a playful evil eye.
"And it ends at one." Kohaku finishes as they all start heading back down stairs to where Setsuna has made them some tea.
Everybody grabs a cup then sits down at the table. "Michiru, in the morning before we go we have to pick up the adoption papers." Haruka reminds her lover ruffling Elora's hair.
"Papa, don;t mess with my hair!" Elora whines surprising her other parental figure. The older teen looks back at her daughter then ruffles her just fixed hair. "I'm looking forward to meeting your friends Elora." Haruka says happily and Elora narrows her eyes at her papa.
"I regret telling you now, papa." The hazel eyed teen states teasing her papa. Elora starts fixing her hair but Haruka puts her daughter's hands down and does it herself.
"Here let me do it baby." Haruka says feeling closer to the teen as every minute passes by.
"Kay." Elora replies as the out-of-place strands are put back in place by Haruka's fingers. Elora yawns then looks at the clock and groans.
"What is it honey? Michiru asks getting up to start dinner. Elora looks down at the floor and her cell phone goes off on que. All of the older senshi give Elora a stern look. Without saying anything Elora hands her phone to Haruka. The butch looks at the caller I.D
"Elora, who is this?" Haruka asks a light sternness to her voice. Kohaku pulls Haruka's arm down to look at the screen.
"A seventeen year old guy who Elora turned down when he asked her out." Kohaku answers for her cousin once again.
"Why is he calling you Elora?" Terra asks worried.
"Because...two nights ago when I went out my own, I ran into him." Elora answers and everybody knows what she means when Elora said 'I ran into him'. Haruka answers the phone and doesn't react well to what she hears.
"Hey bitch, do you know if you're having my child yet?" Haruka locks her jaw.
"Don't you dare call my daughter again and don't let me catch you anywhere near her!" Haruka yells into the phone hanging it up then tossing it back to her daughter storming off up to her bedroom. "Mama, is papa angry with me?" Elora asks not meeting anyones eyes. Michiru sighs, her own anger disappearing when she sees the tears on her daughter's face.
"I think it's more directed to that boy than it is you hun, but you still should've told someone." Michiru scolds Elora lightly. The young teen pulls her knees up and wraps her arms around her legs. The aqua haired mermaid like woman pulls her daughter into her arms.
"Mama, I'm sorry, I know I should've told someone." Michiru kisses Elora's cheeks then surprises her by picking Elora up. Michiru takes her up to her lover. Knocking on the door she puts Elora down. Haruka answers, her face tear-stained. Elora throws her arms around Haruka's hips and burying her face in Haruka's chest. "I'm sorry papa, I promise to tell you and mama and Setsuna and everybody else everything from now on." Elora promises hugging her father-figure tightly. Haruka kisses Elora's forehead returning the hug.
"Alright, and next Monday we're taking you to the hospital to get checked out." Haruka states lovingly.
"Papa, what if I am...conceiving?" Elora asks blushing. Haruka and Michiru chuckle then surprise their daughter.
"We'll help you look after the baby, when it's born." Elora looks up at her parents faces in disbelieve.
"You're going to keep the baby right?" Haruka asks raising an eyebrow.
"If you mean not abort papa then yes of course abortion is murder of an unborn child." Elora answers surprising her parents.
"Well, that's a strong view but it is the truth." Michiru says joining the hug with her lover a daughter.
"Michiru-mama, Haruka-papa, oneesan, let me join the hug too!" Hotaru calls running up the stairs into her older sister's held out left arm.
