Chapter 48
Gaia's eyes were shining with happiness as she walked toward her son's room. Everything turned out for the best finally! His son hadn't left his room yet and it was already past noon. No matter how strange it was, it seemed he took Zoisite's advice and stayed in the bed. This was a good new. A few hours after noon came the biggest surprise. Terra woke up! Gaia went to check on her daughter immediately. She was more than happy when she saw with her own eyes that Terra was all right. She even asked for a plate of soup! Terra's face lit up with joy, when she told her, that Endymion and Serenity were back in the palace and they were all right, and that Endymion visited her while she was sleeping and forgave her. Gaia stopped before Endymion's room frowning. Terra wished nothing more than to ask for Serenity's forgiveness. However, Terra was still very weak, she couldn't leave her bed, but Serenity... Gaia shook her head. Serenity wasn't allowed to leave the bed either, and there was no way her son would allow her to walk to Terra's room. Well, there was nothing wrong in asking, right? Plus she wanted to let them know Terra was all right!
She knocked on the door and waited. There was no answer. She knocked again but nothing... Losing her patient, she opened the door carefully and stepped in the room.
Once she turned toward the huge bed, her eyes went wide and she down casted her eyes shyly. Her face turned pink in embarrassment.
What remained from the breakfast laid on the floor. Beside the plate was Serenity's nightdress. Serenity was sleeping on her side, the blanket was barely covering her breasts and legs. Endymion was sleeping beside her, his strong arms were wrapped around her waist, and his face was buried in her silver hair. The blanket didn't cover his bare, muscular chest.
Gaia chuckled. It was no wonder her son did what Zoisite said and stayed in bed, however she had a slight idea, that "the rest" and the "Do nothing" parts weren't fulfilled at all. She made her way toward the door slowly not wanting to awake the sleeping pair, when...
"Queen Gaia! The guards said I could find you here, your husband sa-" Kunzite gaped and went quiet. He had never thought he would find the Prince and the Princess still asleep and... in this… intimate… position... When he saw the door half-opened, he didn't think they were still asleep.
Gaia's eyes went wide and turned to Kunzite immediately to ask him to be quiet, but it was too late. Endymion opened his eyes lazily but when he saw his mother and his General, his eyes widened in surprise. He was staring at them for a long moment in silence.
In his surprise, his arms tightened on Serenity's waist automatically, waking up the sleeping girl. Serenity yawned and stretched her arms, causing the blanket to sleep dangerously low on her breasts.
"Endy?" Serenity frowned. 'Why is he so tensed?' she thought. Turning around she saw the Queen and Kunzite standing before the bed. She yelped in surprise and grabbing the blanket, she wrapped it around her body tightly.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Endymion snapped at his mother and at his best friend.
"I just wanted to tell you the good news." Gaia chuckled. Somehow, she found this awkward situation very funny.
"King Damian sent me to find the Queen." Kunzite explained staring at his boots nervously. The way Endymion was glaring at him made him want to run out of the room and hid somewhere far from the pissed up Prince.
"Great, Why don't you just organize a meeting in my bedroom next time?!" Endymion's eyes were glowing with anger.
"Oh come one dear. We all know very well what is going on between you and Serenity in your bedroom. I am a mother myself, if you had forgotten. I know how you make a baby, and I am sure Kunzite knows it as well." Gaia laughed whole-heartedly. She had never seen her calm and collected son in such an awkward position before and she intended to enjoy every moment of it.
Serenity's face was tomato-red and she wished she could just disappear at that moment.
"If you are done with laughing, you could tell this good news and leave." Endymion murmured.
"Of course, of course. Terra woke up!" Gaia said excitedly. She was jumping up and down with joy.
Endymion's eyes widened with surprise and Serenity sat up in the bed with a bright smile on her pretty face.
"Really?" Serenity asked excitedly.
"Yes! Her face is still pale but she is much better now. She ate a plate of soup as well. But she is still weak, she has to stay in bed." Gaia explained.
"I am really happy she got better." Endymion smiled and his tensed body relaxed a bit.
"She was very happy when she heard you forgave her. She only wished for one thing. She would like to ask for Serenity's forgiveness." Gaia said carefully watching her son.
"It is all right! I forgave her when she tried to save me from Diamond back in the garden. But if she wants to hear it from me, I will visit her immediately." Serenity smiled happily and jumped out of the bed.
She tried at least. Endymion wrapped his arms around her waist immediately, pushing her back into the bed. He wrapped the blanket around her body and glared at Kunzite.
"Are you crazy?" he hissed in her ears.
"I just... oh..." Serenity's eyes widened in realization. She forgot she was naked. She glanced toward Kunzite nervously. The General was staring at his boots, his face was red with embarrassment.
"I didn't... I didn't see..." Kunzite began then gulped nervously when he saw Endymion's eyes. "Queen Gaia, your husband wishes to talk with you. He is waiting in his study." he said quickly and turning on his heels he hurried out the room, before Serenity did something stupid like really jumping out from the bed and Endymion found it necessary to kill him because he was there and saw her naked body.
"Queen Gaia, could you please turn around until I put on my nightdress?" Serenity asked politely.
"No! You won't go anywhere!" Endymion said firmly.
"But-"
"No but! The doctor said you have to rest, so you will rest."
"I just want to visit your sister! Her room is only a few feet from ours." Serenity pouted.
"I said no!"
"Excuse me, but... the doctor said you both need to rest. Tell me if I am wrong, but you weren't exactly resting a few hours ago." Gaia's eyes sparkled with mischievous.
Endymion was glaring at his mother. "She won't go anywhere! Tell Terra, we are happy she got better. She can visit us later or she has to wait a few days until Serenity is strong enough to visit her."
"But Endy!"
"No!"
Gaia shook her head smiling. She knew her son wouldn't let Serenity leave their room. "Serenity, Endymion is right. I will let Terra know you wanted to visit her, but her stubborn brother didn't let you."
Serenity smiled gratefully at her. "Thank you! Tell her I hope she will get better soon!"
"All right." Gaia nodded. "I will leave you alone for now so you could... talk. I will see you later." Gaia smiled at them and stepped out the room.
Once the door was closed behind the Queen, Serenity turned toward Endymion angrily, but before she could open her lips, Endymion glared at her.
"What the hell were you thinking?" He asked angrily.
"Wh-?" Serenity blinked at him surprised.
"Did you forget you were naked?!"
Serenity blinked again then raised an eyebrow slowly. "Were you jealous?"
"You almost jumped out from the bed while you were NAKED and ANOTHER man was in the room!" Endymion couldn't help it. The green-eyed monster, also known as jealousy, roared in his body, when he was thinking about another man seeing her perfect body.
Serenity stared at him surprised for a while then she laughed.
"You were jealous! Endy, please, you know Kunzite is only interested in Mina." she smiled and placing a quiet, sweet kiss on his lips, she jumped out from the bed and garbed her nightdress.
"What are you doing?" Endymion asked with narrowed eyes and he put on his boxers.
"I am going to visit Terra, of course."
"What? I won't let you go anywhere! Wait, yes you can go somewhere... back to the bed! Now!" He jumped up angrily. Why was she so stubborn?!
"Endy! I am all right now, and I just want to tell your sister I forgave her."
"You can tell her later! I thought I made myself clear! You will stay in the bed." Endymion stood firmly beside the bed. There was no way in hell he would let her leave. He couldn't be thankful enough that he got her back safe. He won't let her risk her health.
"Endy... I am fine, really. You can come with me and make sure I am all right. I promise I just visit Terra, tell her I forgave her, and come back. Please?" Serenity said with puppy eyes.
Endymion stood firmly. "N.O." He answered slowly. Usually he wasn't able to say no when she used her 'puppy eyes attack' against him, but not this time.
Serenity pouted but when she saw there was no way he would let her leave the room she turned toward the bathroom sighing. Suddenly her eyes widened and she put her hand on her stomach. She stood with her back toward Endymion, but he could see her body tense and he was beside her in a second.
"What happened?" he asked worriedly.
"Okay... maybe you were right... I... I felt dizzy all of a sudden." She answered quietly.
Endymion didn't waste his time and taking her in his arms, he went to the bed. "I won't let you leave this bed until tomorrow." he said firmly and slipped into the bed beside her.
"I feel better now." Serenity answered slowly, smiling at him lightly.
"Great. So… we can't leave our bed for a day, right? I have a great idea, how we can spend our time." he smiled mischievously at her. Serenity blushed but didn't protest when Endymion kissed her lips lovingly.
---
Gaia made her way toward Damian's study happily. Once she stood before the study, she was still smiling brightly. What a day! Terra woke up, Serenity, Endymion and her future grandson were all right!
"Damian, you won't believe, what happened!" She opened the door but her smile disappeared from her lips, when she saw her husband's sad face. "What happened?"
Damian glanced up at her worriedly. "We have a problem." He said and gave a letter to her.
Gaia frowned and began to read the letter. Suddenly her eyes went wide. "I thought the rebels disappeared?"
"No. They are stronger than before now. They were hiding somewhere until now. Read it." Damian said sighing.
"Dear God! Impossible... What they want is impossible!" Gaia's face turned paler and paler as she read the letter.
"I know. Endymion would never agree with it and neither would I." Damian nodded.
"What are they thinking? Speaking in the name of our people... they are just a small part of our people!" Gaia's eyes were lit up with anger then she gasped.
"They want to attack the palace?!" She whispered.
"Did you see who their leader is?"
Gaia glanced at the paper. "Beryl... Oh Damian... what are we going to do?" Her eyes filled with tears and she sat down on a chair brokenly.
"We have to fight... there is no other choice."
"Don't talk about it with Endymion yet, please! He needs a day to heal, as well as Serenity and Terra!" Gaia asked with begging eyes.
"I know... If Endymion finds out, he won't stay put... I have no choice but hid this letter from him for now... But we don't have much time..." Damian sighed and hugged his shaking wife tenderly.
King Damian!
We ask you in the name of your people, to give us the Moon-witch, who manipulated the Royal Family and bewitched Prince to take over the Earth. She must be punished. Gave the witch to us and the Royal Family can keep its rang and power. The Prince has to marry our leader, proving his loyalty to his people. If you don't give us the Moon-witch or the Prince doesn't marry our leader we have to attack the palace and choose a new Queen, Lady Beryl.
