Long black eyelashes fluttered against pale cheeks. The lids open to reveal beautiful blue eyes. Glancing around, they looked on with confusion. She only then noticed the strong warm arms wrapped around her waist. Leaning back, she felt warm, soft skin against her.
Recalling what had happened the night before; Serena lay contently, listening to Jedite breath. Sighing she snuggled more into his warm embrace. She felt his arms tighten a moment, then relax. Turning to look at him, she saw him awake.
"Morning." He whispered sleepily down to her. She smiled softly, turning over so she was facing him.
"Morning to you too." She whispered back. "I--" She was interrupted by a knocking on the doors.
"Jedite!" Nephlite's voice could be heard, only slightly muffled by the door. "Are you up?!"
"Uh, yeah!" Jedite said, pulling back from Serena. Serena shielded her eyes as the blanket slipped off him, blushing. Never mind she had spent last night exploring him.
"Can I come in?!" Nephlite asked, the knob turning slightly.
"No!" Two voices from the room rang out. "I'm not decent. Hold on!"
"Oh…" Nephlite said, though he was already inside the room. He faced away from the bed, blushing slightly. Luckily he had seen nothing. "Sorry to interrupt, your highness." He said with a small chuckle.
"Nephlite!" Jedite stated shocked. Serena covered herself as best she could. "Never come barging in like that!"
"Well at least you took my advice." Nephlite said with a chuckle.
Both Jedite and Serena blushed.
*********************************************************
"Jedite?" Sailor Moon asked. "What are we going with her?" She looked up at him.
"Take her back to earth is the only logical thing." Kunzite answered from him. He could tell Jedite did not like having his time with Serena cut short.
"I can start up a portal as soon as you want." Zoicite put in.
"Fine." Jedite said gruffly. "In thirty minutes you leave for earth."
"Why wait so long?" Moon asked. Jedite smiled. She was still as curious as a kitten.
"I need Nephlite and Kunzite to get her abnormal energy level under control. Plus," He added. "Don't you need to say goodbye to someone?"
"Xavier…"
*********************************************************
"Jedite!" Serena yelled. She placed a hand on her enlarged stomach. "Honey, can you get me some pickles and sour cream?" Jedite looked at her blankly. "And maybe some ice cream?"
"You want to go to the earth, again?!" He stated, obviously tired.
"But, love, I'm hungry." She pouted.
"Oh all right." He gave up. "Only because I love you." He smiled at the picture she made. In his eyes she looked wonderfully beautiful carrying *his* child. His little boy.
"Darling!" Serena wailed. "Hurry!"
He smiled and left. Walking down the hall to the portal room, he thought of all that happened. Serena had spent every night here. Hard to pull off, you say? Not really. First they brainwashed her family so they would never come into her room at night. The all they did was have a portal ready to leave every night. What about Luna, you ask? Easier still. Serena pretended to be ill tempered (which was only half a lie) and had her stay at Amy's.
During the day was harder, he remembered. The Luna pen, with a little extra power, could last 15 hours. As long as she didn't go over that limit it was okay. He smiled as he remembered the look on Serena's face when she was suddenly slim again. Sigh…
A frown suddenly appeared on his face. It was getting closer to the time when Serena would give birth. He couldn't wait, yet at the same time, didn't want the day to come. He knew she would never leave her family and friends. Heck, her world needed her!
The again, he reasoned with himself, MY world needed her. Double sigh…
*********************************************************
Chad groaned slightly. The pain and heat was reverberating throughout his body. Gee, he thought, why now. Grandpa was looking at him worriedly. He guessed it was a little strange to suddenly drop in the middle of an exercise and start glowing red. Groaning again. Chad tried to stand.
"No, my boy." Grandpa said. "Stay still." He didn't know what was going on but Chad aura had suddenly changed to something close to that of his granddaughter's. Turning slightly, he heard feet running up the shrine steps. Raye and her two one of her friends appeared at the top.
Raye's eyes widened in surprise. Chad was… "Grandpa! Chad!" She and Amy ran forward. Lita, who was supporting Andrew, appeared next. Raye landed on the ground next to Chad.
"Chad?" She whispers, placing his head in her lap. Chad stared up at her, almost in disbelief. She did care. Oh Raye, he thought, his brown eyes filling with love.
"Maybe you know what happened, hmm, granddaughter?" Grandpa asked.
"Well," she said smiling, stroking his head lightly, "kinda…"
*********************************************************
"Xavier?" Serena called, looking for her son. "Darling?" She stepped into his room, only to find it empty.
"He's probably hiding." Jedite said from behind her. She turned to look at him.
"Why would he hide?"
"He only has one parent." He replied, looking deeply into her blue eyes. "And I can't be with him all the time. He has to find something to do, and unfortunately he is very curious. He likes to find secret places and hide. It's like a game to him, though I'm sure he feels slightly ignored."
"I..." She was at a loss for words. He felt ignored? Her poor baby, maybe if she…No! I can't.
"Jed," She said, using her old nickname for him. "Do you know where any of these hidden places are?"
"A few." He replied.
"Take me to them."
*********************************************************
The temple was unusual a buzz that day. The girls, and Darien, were discussing the problem at hand. They had four boys sleeping soundly in one of Raye's extra bedroom. The problem was: these boys were each glowing a different color.
"Who would have thought?" Lita mussed, uncrossing and crossing her long legs.
"Thought what?" Luna asked from the floor.
"That Ken would be my Knight!" She said. Smiling, she added, "I always knew he cared for me more than he let on."
"It is strange." Amy agreed. Blushing, she continued, "I can't believe Greg is mine."
"And Chad…" Raye mumbled. "Poor Chad. He shouldn't have had to go through that pain because of me."
"So you do care…" Lita provoked, smirking in Raye direction.
"Well, yeah." Raye replied her face hot. "Of course. I have for a while."
"Then why haven't I had that feeling?" Darien asked. "I'm Serena's guardian."
"Golly, he's clueless." Luna mumbled. "Didn't the girls tell you?" The girls looked shocked and almost all jumped at Luna at the same time.
"Told me what?" He asked, confused. He only got a muffled reply from the large heap on the floor. Artemis sighed.
*********************************************************
"WHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" A loud cry pierced the air as Serena gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Jedite almost fainted, but the feeling of the small infant in his arms kept him from hitting the ground.
"Can I hold him?" Serena asked tiredly of her lover. Jedite nodded slowly, gently placing the small boy in its mother's arms. They made the most beautiful picture. Mother and child. My child.
"He's so cute!" Serena said, hugging the small body closer to her. Looking up at Jedite she asked, "What do we name him?"
"I…" Jedite was still at a loss for words.
"How about Xavier?" She asked. "He looks like one.
Jedite smiled softly as he nodded. Leaning forward he gave both Serena and Xavier a kiss on the forehead. My family…
*********************************************************
"Xavier?" Jedite called, looking into the dark passageway. Serena was only feet behind him. A small, muffled cry broke the silence.
"Xavier?" Serena asked, stepping into the dark corridor. Jedite made another small pillar of light appear. Xavier was in the corner of the small area, crying. Serena walked forward and dropped beside him.
"Sweetheart?" She asked. "What's wrong?"
"I heard you." He said, crying on her now. "You're leaving again. You must not love me enough to stay." He started crying harder.
Serena looked shocked. Xavier was taking this the wrong way. "Oh honey. You have it all wrong. I love you so very much."
"Then why are you leaving?" Xavier asked pulling away from her. "I'll miss you too much. I've never played so much with anyone like I did with you. We played for days. I know it's not dad's fault, but he can't play that much. I don't want you to leave!"
"My world needs me. If I don't go back, serious damage could be done to it. Do you understand?" He shook his golden head. Jedite kneeled beside Serena and looked at Xavier.
"Son, you have to understand, we both love you. But we both have responsibilities to take care of." Jedite said calmly.
"Do you love mom?" Xavier asked. Both Serena and Jedite looked shocked at the sudden question.
"Yes." His father said softly.
"Mom, you love dad, right?" Xavier asked, turning his blue eyes to Serena.
"Baby, it's not important right now…"
"It is to me!" Xavier almost shouted. "Do you love dad?" Jedite thought he knew the answer. Silence filled the air. Of course, Jedite thought, she loves Darien. It's been years sense we saw each other. How could she still love me?
"Son, it's not…" Jedite was interrupted by Serena.
"Yes, Xavier. I do love him." She refused to look at Jedite even though he was staring at her.
"Then you have responsibilities here too." Xavier said.
"But…" Serena looked shocked at the amount of logic that short statement held.
"No buts. You both love each other, and no matter what, that's what counts the most." Xavier said, sounding like his mother very much.
*********************************************************
It's been months after Xavier's birth. He was almost seven months now. His blue eyes were the same shade as his mothers and his hair was the golden color of his father's hair. Serena had been nursing him now, though now he was using bottle.
Serena knew she loved her son very much. But she also knew that the earth was in danger. Days after she had first made love to Jedite was when the Black Moon stopped their attacks. It almost seemed like they disappeared. Rini was gone also. Darien had wanted to get back together almost instantly, knowing that Crystal Tokyo must be created. She didn't agree with loving him, but knew the earth would be in danger if she didn't go back.
Placing Xavier in his crib, she turned and walked to the door connecting his room with her and Jed's room. She opened the door and found Jedite getting ready for bed inside. He smiled at her, though never turning. He was looking at her in the mirror. She smiled weakly back, and he frowned.
"Love, what's wrong?" Jedite asked turning to face her.
"Jed, it's my world." She replied. "What will they do without me? I protect it. And my family! I'm only seventeen and still in school. I can't stay here!"
"Rena?" He questioned.
"Oh Jed!" She flung herself into his arms. "I want to stay and live with you. I love you! But I can't."
"I understand. I understand." He replied, softly stroking her back. Tears were forming in his eyes.
"When I leave in the morning, I can't come back." She whispered into his chest.
"Then let's make the best of tonight." He leaned down and kissed her passionately. He picked her up and paced her on the bed. "I love you always." He whispered before letting passion take over.

Not too much more to go. I hope you like it so far.
