Chapter 26
Serenity woke up slowly. She didn't know how much she slept but she still felt tired. Slowly she opened her eyes.
"Serenity!" Molly cried happily.
"Molly," Serenity smiled lightly.
"I am sooooo happy you are all right! You have no idea how much we worried about you!"
Serenity looked at Molly smiling then sat up and frowned.
"I didn't remember I changed in my nightdress?" She glanced at Molly puzzled.
"The Prince asked me to help you dress in your nightdress," Molly answered and gave a glass of water to her.
Serenity took the glass carefully. "Is it already night?" she asked stunned.
"Late afternoon." Her friend said.
"Oh." Serenity took a sip from the water then tried to stand up.
"What are you doing?!" Molly asked scared and pushed her back in the bed gently.
"I just wanted to dress up. The girls will be here soon," Serenity answered confused.
"No-no. You can't. The Prince's order was clear. You have to stay in bed until tomorrow." Molly said.
"What? This is stupid..." Serenity murmured.
"You can't blame him. Dear God you were so white... He feared for you so much."
"You are right. I do not want to leave this room..." Serenity said suddenly and downcasted her eyes.
"Is there something wrong? Do you want me to call the doctor or Zoisite?" Molly asked worriedly.
"No, I am fine. I just don't want to meet Beryl..." Serenity whispered. Thinking about the woman made her sick.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about it!"
Serenity looked at her questioningly.
"Endymion threw her out the palace. There was shouting and crying." Molly explained excitedly.
"Really?" Serenity asked curiously.
Molly sat down beside her on the bed.
"I only heard it from others but... They said he actually hit her!! Thinking about it, he looked very pissed off when he left the room. Murderous..."
Serenity watched her with wide eyes.
"Well, then I have nothing to fear from. I can dress up and-" She began but Molly interrupted her.
"You can't." She said.
"Molly, please. I am all right, see?" Serenity tried again.
"But the Prince..." Molly whispered.
"Endy can't keep me in bed for months! And the girls will be here soon!" Serenity said her eyes lighting up.
"No! I am really sorry, Sere, but I can't let you leave the bed." Molly said firmly.
Serenity sighed deeply and lay back in the bed. She was in silence for a while then smiled.
"I wanted to go to the kitchen. I am really hungry..." She said quietly, watching her friend from the corner of her eye.
"You don't have to leave the bed for that. I will go and get you something to eat." Molly said immediately and hurried out the room.
Serenity waited for a minute then sighed. 'I am so sorry, Molly.' She thought and stood up slowly. First, she felt a bit dizzy but then everything was all right.
She dressed up quickly and began to comb her hair. She went to open the balcony door when someone stepped in the room.
"What the-?! Go back to the bed... now!"
"Oh, Endy!" Serenity smiled. She stepped to him, kissed him lightly and went to the bathroom.
"Hey! Are you listening? Go back to the bed!" Endymion walked after her stunned.
"I am fine, don't worry." Serenity said easily.
Molly opened the door and her eyes went wide. In her trembling arms was a plate of soup.
"Serenity!" she cried then looked at the prince uncertainly.
"I didn't-" She began.
"It is all right Molly. Just put the soup on the table, please." Serenity smiled.
Molly did as she was told to, then looked at Endymion.
"You can go now," he said without taking his eyes off Serenity.
Molly nodded and walked out the room.
"Endy, come on. I am really all right now. Thank you for taking care of me, but I am fine now," Serenity caressed his face lovingly.
"Go…back…to…the…bed…" Endymion answered slowly.
Serenity murmured something but sat down on the bed.
"Gods, you are stubborn," Endymion sighed finally.
"You can't tie me to the bed until the baby is born, you know," Serenity murmured.
"I wish I could," Endymion answered and sat down beside her.
"I can't believe Zoisite said I have to stay in bed until tomorrow." Serenity glanced at him questioningly.
"Well…until dinner, but-" He began but Serenity interrupted him.
"See?! It is almost nighttime! Please Endy! I would like to be there to meet the girls," she said looking at him with her big blue eyes.
"Sere..." Endymion said. However, he knew he could never say no to her.
"Please."
"All right, all right." Endymion sighed.
Serenity jumped in his arms happily.
"BUT you have to go to the bed after dinner!"
Serenity pouted but Endymion shook his head.
"No, Serenity."
Serenity sighed and nodded smiling.
"All right."
--
Endymion sighed…again…for the 20th time in half an hour.
"If you don't calm down I will take you back to our room," he whispered only half-jokingly in Serenity's ear.
They were in the teleport-room. King Damian and Queen Gaia stood before them talking amongst themselves quietly. Endymion almost regretted that he allowed Serenity to come here. She stood beside him excitedly. The Generals stood behind them. Zoisite and Nephrite tried to keep a straight face while Jadeite mimicked Kunzite's firm face.
"I am calm," Serenity whispered.
Endymion rolled his eyes then wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and caressed her stomach gently.
Serenity smiled at him and slowly relaxed in his arms.
Suddenly there was a bright light in the room.
Endymion swore quietly. He just managed to calm Serenity down and now here she was all excited and rigid in his arms again.
The light disappeared and 4 girls stood in the middle of the room.
"Welcome to the Earth!" Queen Gaia said smiling.
"Thank you," Mina bowed. "Let me introduce the other Senshi. Princess Rei the Princess of the Mars. Princess Lita, the Princess of the Jupiter, Princess Ami the Princess of the Mercury."
The girls bowed deeply before the royals then looked around excitedly. Mina glanced at Serenity smiling. Her friend was trying very hard not to run to them right away. The way Endymion was holding her told her everything.
Lita smiled happily at Serenity. Seeing the strange man's arm around her friend's waist she frowned. She looked at him suspiciously but Endymion looked back at her firmly. She could see he wasn't afraid of her, not a bit. His whole posture screamed only one thing: 'She is mine and nobody can take her away from me.' Lita looked him up and down one more time then nodded a bit.
Ami was smiling too however her face got red when she noticed how close Serenity and Endymion were standing to each other.
Rei watched Serenity carefully. Her friend looked excited and very happy. The reason why she was happy could only be the man standing behind her. Glancing at the Prince, she gasped. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen. Closing her eyes, she turned her head away from them.
Serenity couldn't wait any longer and she glanced at Endymion pleadingly. Endymion smiled and slowly let her waist go. Serenity ran happily toward her friends!
"I missed you so much!" she said.
"We missed you too," Lita smiled and hugged the small Princess tightly. Endymion winced; Lita was well known from her strength and this hug seemed a bit too tight. However Serenity only laughed.
"I hope you got used to the Earth," Ami said quietly.
Serenity nodded smiling. "You will love it here Ami!"
"You have to tell me all the new gossip!" Mina winked and hugged her friend.
"Good to see you are all right," Rei said and hugged her too.
"I missed you so much," Serenity cried.
"Come on Meatball Head. Don't be a crybaby," Rei said.
Endymion stepped behind Serenity, his arms went around her waist immediately.
"It is nice to finally meet you," he greeted them.
"How are you, Endymion?" Mina asked smiling. She glanced behind the Prince and her eyes met with Kunzite's eyes. The time stopped for them.
Serenity looked at Endymion smiling and he nodded.
"Girls, let me introduce you my Generals. Kunzite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Jadeite."
The Generals nodded. Lita poked Mina with her elbow.
"Oh... yes. Nice to meet you again." Mina smiled finally.
"Well, the dinner will be ready shortly. I will sho-" Gaia said, but Serenity interrupted her.
"I can show them the rooms. Please," Serenity said turning to the Queen.
"All right," Gaia smiled. "We will meet you later then." King Damian said smiling at his wife and they walked out the room.
"Great. See you at dinner," Serenity smiled at Endymion and grabbing her friends' arms, she hurried out the door.
Endymion looked at the closed door stunned.
"She didn't really wait for an answer," Nephrite grinned.
"It is because the hormones right Zoisite?! She will get through this soon right?" Jadeite asked nervously.
"Hmmm sure she will. When the baby is born," Zoisite answered.
Jadeite massaged his temple and looked at Endymion sympathizing. "Good luck buddy."
"Idiot," Endymion murmured.
"The Princess of Jupiter... Lita... she seemed strong," Nephrite said quietly.
"I can imagine Ami with Zoisite. They could spend their life behind old and thick books," Jadeite grinned.
"And we don't need to ask Kunzite right?" Zoisite smiled.
Kunzite didn't say a world just stared without blinking.
"That leaves you with Rei." Nephrite said glancing at Jadeite.
"Um.. no thanks! I am fine as I am now." Jadeite protested.
The men walked laughing to the door.
"I hope she won't work herself up too much," Endymion murmured.
"You are so whipped!" Jadeite grinned and ran ahead laughing, while Endymion chased after him.
"Come back here and say it again!" he shouted after his friend.
"Not again," Nephrite sighed. The others laughed and went after them.
