Some months later Yumeko was sitting idle in her room in Seiya's fortress. Ever since he had returned he had been horribly disgruntled and depressed. Mainly because Usagi wasn't with him and because she was pregnant. Sora had told Yumeko about the whole romance going on between those two. Yumeko had just shook her head and told Seiya to snap out of it and, like always, Seiya ignored her existence.

She was contemplating whether to cut her hair or not when there was a knock on her door.

"Who is it?" she called.

"Sora…" came the familiar voice but Yumeko knew that was not all.

"And?" she asked again.

"Yaten," came the other familiar voice. Yumeko smirked before telling them to come in.

"Well, well, if it isn't the general who threw me out…" she said in a sing song voice as they walked in.

"Yumeko…" Sora started in a scolding tone, but stopped as she saw the other girl's cold expression.

Yaten just watched Yumeko for a few moments.

"Look…" he started.

"Shut up," she said and walked into her balcony. He sighed. He had known she was going to be difficult. She had always been.

"Yumeko, listen to me…" Sora said, but to no avail.

"You too, shut up."

They stood there silently for a few moments.

"You are welcome to come home," Yaten told her.

"I don't have a home," Yumeko replied. Because she couldn't see his face, she also couldn't see the pain her statement had caused him.

"Yes, yes, you do," he replied softly.

"I never did. I never will," she said, "I was a fool to think I did. I apologize. I am nothing but a pawn to you, and next time I will remember that."

Yaten swore. Sora took a step forward toward Yumeko but he stopped her.

"You're wrong," he said, "You do have a home, a home with me. It's our home and because it is our home, it is incomplete without you. You are not the only one without a home right now, I am too. As long as you aren't there, my home doesn't exist." After that he left.

"Yumeko," Sora said when Yumeko still didn't turn around, "I know you care about Yaten a lot. He is like family to you, I know that, so don't even try to lie to me and you know, in a family, arguments happen. It's natural. People only argue with those they love, you know? Why would anyone waste their breath having arguments with people they didn't care about? Think about it." With that Sora walked out too, leaving Yumeko alone.

No one saw the tears coursing down Yumeko's cheeks as she faced the starry moonless sky above her.


Months passed as Usagi stomach grew and grew.

"It will certainly be a boy!" Mamoru had said to her many times.

"I am worried," Usagi told Rei, who was at the castle visiting.

"About the Prince?" Rei asked seriously.

"No, about how fat I look," Usagi wailed. Rei laughed.

"But about the Prince too," Usagi became serious when they both stopped laughing.

"I know what you mean," Rei said solemnly.

"It's why I didn't go to one of the big cities to see if it's a boy or girl," Usagi sighed, "What if it's a girl?"

"I don't know," Rei frowned.

"If it is, what will he do?" Usagi asked.

"You still have two more months," Rei said, "We'll think of something, I promise."


"I am glad your memory has finally come back," Kakyuu smiled at the kneeling Seiya.

"Well, most of it has anyway, Princess," he got up and smiled at her. He looked better now, she thought, not as sad and depressed as he had been few months ago.

"I am still a little worried that you're going to start fighting in the war again," she sighed at him.

"The war has barely been active since the pregnancy of the Earth princess. I am sure we can handle it," he smiled encouragingly but she still looked doubtful.

"Do you think he has softened up maybe?" she suddenly asked.

"What?"

"The Earth prince," she smiled, "Do you think he has softened up?"

"Why do you ask that?" Seiya's jaw clenched slightly.

"Oh, I don't know," she laughed a little, "It's just that he's going to be a father soon. Things like these tend to soften people up, don't you think so?"

"Not him," Seiya shook his head.

"Pity," Kakyuu sighed, "When I was young, I met him. One of my older friends had teased me, saying that I might have to wed to him. I had created such fantasies in my mind back then, of him and me, of the alliance between Kinmoku and Earth but they were only fantasies, I suppose, things that don't really happen in real life."

"Sometimes," Seiya smiled, "Fantasies can become reality."

"Can they?"

"Yes," he nodded as he thought of Usagi, "Yes, they can."


Makoto sat with Rei.

"Do you think it will work?"

"It's worth a try," Makoto nodded.

"Then let's do it." Rei said determined.

"I can't believe I have to leave at a time like this!" Mamoru sighed, exasperated. Usagi was sitting in bed, her hand resting on her swollen stomach. It was her last month.

"It's a pity, but we'll give make sure you get the message when the time comes," she smiled softly at him.

"Yes, yes do that," he said, "The army is so lousy, why do they need me to come at a time like this?!"

"Mamoru…" she started.

"What?" he looked at her. She could see the anger in his eyes, and just seeing that anger made her taste fear.

"That's what it means to rule," she said, "That's the sacrifice you must make."

"You're right," he sighed, "But I'll be thinking about you and our baby the whole time."

"I know," she said, "We'll thinking about you to, and waiting for your return."


"I cannot believe we're going to do this," Usagi took a few deep breaths.

"Trust me, it's the only way," Makoto said.

"Are you sure you can deliver?!" Usagi asked in panic.

"Usagi, calm down," Rei snapped, "You wanted to do something, so you're doing something."

"Yes, you're right," Usagi sighed and they went off.


"Have they left?" Zoisite asked.

"Yes," Jadeite said, "I just hope this works. Taking Usagi far from here for her delivery is a dangerous thing to do. It was already risky sending the Prince away and not letting him know it was purposeful. Now we have sent his wife away too. They only have a handful of servants with them."

"True," Zoisite nodded, "But it's important they do this. If it's a girl, then they can safely get it away from the planet. You know how the prince will be if it's not a boy. It will destroy his hopes to become king as soon as the baby is born." Jadeite could only nod in agreement.


"I need your help," Seiya said.

"Huh?" Yumeko looked up, "what do you mean you need my help? I am here to work for you anyway."

"This is more on a personal level," Seiya said as he sat down across from her. She was eating. He watched as she dipped her spoon into the rice, lifted it, and left it hanging in the air.

"Personal level?"

"Yes, I need a favour," he reached into his pocket and took out a piece of paper, "This came from Rei." He held it out to Yumeko and watched as she read, finally placing the spoon of rice in her mouth.

"Oh no, I am not doing this," she shook her head, "I am no baby sitter."

"Please, Yumeko," Seiya begged, "You're the most trustworthy person I know. Please."

"No, I am not," Yumeko shrugged, "There are others."

"Maybe, but none of them are as skilled as you are," he sighed, "Nor as loyal or determined." She laughed at that.

"If you think you can get me to do this by buttering me up, you are so wrong."

"I am not buttering you up," he looked her in the eye, "I am begging you. Please."


"We got a letter from Iris," the aqua haired woman showed it to the tall blond woman.

"Oh," the blond smiled and read it, "Well, it seems easy enough, right?"

"Right," the aqua haired woman smiled too, "And we owe her big anyway."

Mamoru heard that Usagi had the baby. The messenger was the swiftest one their castle had: Jadeite.

"But, my lord, there has been problems," Jadeite said.

"Problems?"

"The baby did not make it."


"I cannot believe I am going to be stuck baby sitting," Yumeko grumbled.

"We're very grateful for this, so is Usagi," Rei beamed as she placed the bundle wrapped in pink into Yumeko's arm. Yumeko looked down and she saw Seiya's eyes looking back at her.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Rei asked gleefully.

"Yes," Yumeko smiled genuinely for once, "Let's go little one, we have a cool space ship to Jupiter waiting."


A/N Ugh, I hope it makes sense. I know I made it mostly dialogue and I didn't explain much in it, but I tried to make it as self-explanatory as possible. R/R please! And let me know if it doesn't make sense, because I am willingly to change this chapter.
