Three months later, and after Hotaru had come home with Emily, Ami, a.k.a Sailor Mercury, was expecting to give birth on June 10th, if all went according to plan, of course. Being the most intelligent and tech-savvy of the Sailor Senshi, Ami used her technology to keep tabs on her baby.
"How does he/she look?" Urawa asked as Ami used her supercomputers scanners to analyze the baby inside her.
"Everything appears stable. I can feel Mercury's powers transferring too." Ami reclined on the bed, given to her for comfort during her pregnancy.
"That's great!" Urawa was overjoyed for Ami, though unsure if he would be a good father. Still, he was willing to do the best he could for his future son or daughter as Ami, and he had agreed to block the baby's gender for now from Ami's supercomputer scanners.
"I'm sorry if I'm troublesome, Urawa." Ami apologized as all she did all day was relaxing, reading, playing chess, doing complicated mathematics, and craving sandwiches. Still, she tried not to be unreasonable as most women are during pregnancy.
"You don't have anything to be sorry about. I don't mind doing these things because I love you." Urawa blushed as Ami kissed him on the cheek.
"You're too sweet," Ami murmured, then Luna jumped onto her bed.
"Excuse me. Ami, Urawa, I came to inform you the scans confirmed your child would be the next Prince or Sailor Mercury." Luna waited for Ami and Urawa to be upset or angry, but they are...proud.
"Even if my son or daughter is to become the next Prince or Sailor Mercury, I'm just happy knowing he or she will have a loving father and friends." Ami smiled as she did not have a father figure in her life for very long, and she grew up lonely because others saw her intelligence as snobby as if she thought she was too good to hang out with them, even though that is not Ami at all.
"Yes. Well, I have scheduled a means of transport for you and Urawa to Mariner Castle." Luna reported.
Mariner Castle is a light blue tower similar to Hotaru's castle but surrounded by a swirling surge of water! Also, like all the others, Queen Serenity was given to Sailor Mercury when she was born and housed part of the power to summon the Holy Grail.
"Oh, yes! Urawa and I have to finish packing." Ami exclaimed excitedly.
"Thank you, Luna." Urawa wanted Luna to leave so he and Ami could continue just enjoying their afternoon, but he did not want to sound mean, so he tried to be polite.
Luna bowed and left. Neo-Queen Serenity was glad Ami was taking care of things herself, with Luna's help, and showing no negative reaction to the news of her passing her powers onto her baby because this meant Neo-Queen Serenity did not have to deal with ANOTHER stressed out mother-to-be. Minako, Rei, Makoto, Haruka, and Hotaru were enough already, and Rei had not even made plans what to do with her baby yet! In stylish light blue and aqua-colored garbs, servants of Mariner Castle wait for their Queen and King's arrival! Of course, once there, Ami and Urawa were treated like royalty, which Urawa was uncomfortable with as he was not used to this, but Ami responded to them all as if it was natural.
On June 10th Ami had her baby. It is a girl!
"Why isn't she crying?" Ami asked, concerned.
"She's not sick..." One of the midwives checked the charts on the baby's condition.
"Didn't Neo-Queen Serenity say each future Prince or Senshi needs to be born around an element?" Urawa reminded as he held their daughter.
"We need water," Ami told the midwife urgently.
Understanding what she meant, the midwife filled a baby tub with Mercury's water as Ami cradled her calm and silent child. Though the baby is awake, she seems too weak to cry, no less be the future Sailor Mercury. Returning with the tub, Ami, Urawa, and the midwife clean the baby. As the water hits the baby's forehead, Mercury's symbol burst to life, and once the baby is soaked, she begins crying! Ami and Urawa breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm so sorry about the scare, your majesties." The midwife bowed.
"No, no, you did everything you could." Ami did not want the midwife blaming herself for an unforeseen issue.
"It's not your fault," Urawa assured the midwife.
"Thank you so much for forgiving me!" The midwife had tears of gratitude running down her face, and she rushed out to calm herself as she didn't want to upset the baby.
"What should we name her?" Urawa asked Ami.
"How about...Crystal, after all the crystals we use?" Ami suggested.
"Crystal Mizuno? ...Yeah, it has a nice ring to it." Urawa agreed.
It made sense that the future Sailor Senshi would keep their mother's last name; it was a Sailor Senshi pride thing. Returning to the moon, Crystal loved her teammates as much as they loved her, although Holly acted more...serious; Haruka was starting to have an influence. Crystal loved bath time the most as she splashed about in the water with Gracie (1-year-old), making crescent moon shapes and hearts on the water's surface. Ariel (3 months old) and Holly (4 years old) just watched as they poured water on themselves, and Emily (4 months old) played with the bubbles. Also, the girls seemed to look up to Trisha (8 years old) as a role model. This is not surprising as Trisha is the oldest and mature for her age, thanks to her having such an immense responsibility at a young age as guarding the door of Space-Time and being a Sailor Senshi.
Now, if Rei, Michiru, and the Queen's babies would come as smoothly, there should not be any trouble...
