Chapter 14- Mommy I want to be a Sailor Senshi

A week after Mamoru's birthday It was nighttime and all the children had gone to bed. Yumiko and Setsuna were talking quietly. "I think I'm ready for my successor now 'Suna I've had a week to get over Saburo's death it's not like I was in love with him it was an arranged marriage anyway between our parents I will mourn him as a friend but never as a lover" Yumiko said with a slight tremble in her voice.

Setsuna smiled gently at her friend and soldier sister "you don't have to be strong Yumiko you loved him as Mamoru's father. It's natural for you to grieve we can't start that process until you aren't grieving as much" she said as she placed her hand over Yumikos and then Yumiko broke down Setsuna wrapped the smaller woman in her arms and soothed her.

"Okay...maybe I did love him as a lover but not as a soulmate" Yumiko hiccupped.

"Mommy?" 2 little voices said the two mothers looked to the living room door it was Mamoru and Serenity both looked like they had been crying the mothers held their arms out and the 2 children ran into their respective mother's arms "nightmares again you two?" Setsuna soothed.

Both the 4 and 5-year-old nodded tearfully "the nasty said she was coming to get me" Serenity hiccupped she didn't quite understand the aim of Metaria yet but was old enough to understand the concept of evil.

"My four Shittenou were evil," Mamoru said sadly.

"What you're seeing Mamoru sweetie is memories of your previous life. At the time your Shittenou weren't protected against the spells that could make them change loyalty to the dark side, not even Kunzite the Lunarian could fight it the dark kingdom was and is very powerful" Setsuna Affirmed.

The two children threw worried glances at each other. And Serenity took a deep breath "mommy I want to help" she said bravely. Setsuna got bug-eyed.

"Serenity Usagi Meiou! You're a princess, not a fighter" Setsuna replied sternly. Serenity got tears in her eyes. "No mommy you will listen to me. Yes, I understand I'm the Tsuki no princess. I'm only 4 but I know my mommy from the moon was sailor moon before she fell pregnant with Tranq and then after she had me she could no longer transform as she was meant to be sailor cosmos when I was old enough to look after myself but I threw a tantrum every time she left for practice even though I was left with the loveliest nanny she was too strict and I didn't like it so she gave up in the end and then when our father died it weakened her even more which is why she died when she used the silver crystal to throw us all into the future we know now, so it's my fault my mother died as I was a spoilt brat who only wanted her mother" Serenity said as she started to cry.

Setsuna wrapped the tiny 4-year-old in her arms and sighed, she should have seen this coming but she was so wrapped up in being a mother to the princess she had a duty to protect she failed to see that Serenity would one day know her mother from the silver millennium. was once sailor moon the legendary protector of love and justice.

"It's not your fault sweetheart. I know you think it is but it's not my darling girl never think it's your fault you fell in love. Someone got jealous and that's when trouble stirred it's just like a fairy tale but it is real for us." Setsuna replied stroking the young girl's silvery blonde locks.

"I remember the night when Beryl destroyed the moon she said she was the betrothed of Endymion" she whimpered

Mamoru growled "no I was not" he growled crossing his arms scowling at his 4-year-old counterpart "Pppbbbtttt Baka Mamo-chan. Then how come she said she was?" Serenity countered both women were stunned "young lady where did you get that language from?!" Setsuna asked stunned.

"Kei Onii-chan" Serenity grinned ruefully. Setsuna rolled her eyes she should have known her 7-year-old son would start getting careless with his choice of words after all he was an adult in a little boy's body. "You're funny Odango Atama" Mamoru grinned" Endymion Mamoru Terran where did you learn that?" Yumiko asked using his old name. She was an absolute gobsmacked at her sons choice of words to the princess "Noburo-nii" he grinned just as rueful as his betrothed adjacent who was glaring at him with her arms crossed and face scowling "I'm not an odango Meany" she sniffed indignantly.

"Looks like it to me" he grinned, Serenity scowled. "but you're my odango and I love you" he said crawling off his mothers knee and kneeling in front of the little girl he lifted a hand to her cheek "Usako" he murmured using her middle name as an affectionate name for her, eyes filled with nothing but love for his young princess.

Serenitys eyes filled with tears and admiration for the boy in front of her "I love you too Mamo-chan" she whimpered as a single tear ran down her cheek "aunt Sets I think Usako is perfectly capable of being Sailor Moon. As our souls are linked I would know each time she was heading into a battle and if she was in any trouble I would know immediately." Mamoru replied.

Two flashes startled the four the children took the object they were drawn too and the objects spoke to them

Golden rose- "wear this always when you feel Serenity transform say "crystal rose transform" your guardians and hers will know what to do" the little boy nodded and snapped out of his trance.

Heart brooch- "when you feel trouble close call out "silver Moon Cosmo make up" Endymion, his guards and the princess guardians will know what to do" Serenity nodded and snapped out of her trance.

The two older women gasped when they saw Serenitys brooch " 'Reni' honey you're not going to be Sailor Moon" Yumiko said aghast. Serenity frowned confused "you're going to be Sailor Cosmos" Setsuna gasped staring wide-eyed at her daughter.
