Setsuna looked at all the files on her computers, it showed the past, present, and future. This helped her out in her work so she could protect the Gates.
"I don't know what to do, Ami-chan, If I do take you away, you will be unhappy but if I don't the future is in danger." She looked up suddenly at something and pieced it together. "This, this can work." She pressed the intercom. "Serenity-sama?"
"Hai, I am here." Said a voice Setsuna recognized as Serenity's.
"It is Setsuna, I have found out that Ami-chan can stay until the end of today in that world." said Setsuna. She typed some more on the computer. "To save the timelines, she must be brought back then." Setsuna heard a sigh on the other line.
"Doomo Arigatoo, Setsuna." Said Serenity. She switched off the intercom and cursed softly for the first time ever. She stood up from her marble desk and went to the window and looked at Earth. She had found out about Queen Beryl from many reports and possibly some of her plans to destroy the Silver Millennium. She heard some laughter and looked down, her daughter was placing a crown of flowers on Prince Endymion's dark head. She watched Earth-sei's prince pull her daughter closer to him for a passionate kiss. She sometimes envied the romance those two shared. She was betrothed to a prince who only wanted her to have children and stay out of politics. After his death, she proved to all women were the one's who should be in politics and not just men by creating the Silver Alliance.
~Meanwhile~
Trunks release Ami from their kiss. Breathlessly Ami looked up at him. Trunks had a smoldering look in his eyes.
"Ami-chan…" he murmured and showered kisses on her face.
'Oh, Trunks-chan, I love you so much.' She wanted to him these words so much, but stopped herself. She was still afraid to let her true feelings for him show to that extent. She heard a buzzing sound and thought it was Trunks. Trunks jerked suddenly away and looked to see a large flying object heading at them. He dove to the ground with Ami to avoid it. The machine turned back and landed near them. The door opened and an angry Chi-Chi jumped out.
"ALLRIGHT YOU YOU HUSTLER!!!" screamed Chi-Chi. "MOVE AWAY FROM AMI-CHAN!!!" Trunks got a nervous look on his face. Ami giggled at them and watched Trunks walk towards Chi-Chi. "AMI-CHAN, GET INTO THE FLYER! " Once Ami got in all hell broke loose. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? ARE YOU THINKING YOU CAN DEFILE AMI-CHAN!?!?!?!?! YOU AREN'T GOING TO MAKE A HUSSY OUT OF HER DO YOU HEAR ME????? NOW STAY AWAY!" she turned away and jumped into the flyer.
She fastened her seat belt and sped off. Ami had tears in her eyes since she was trying to so hard to not laugh. Chi-Chi mistook them for her being upset. "There there, don't cry, Trunks won't try to turn you into a hussy again." At this Ami gave up and just started laughing out loud. Chi-Chi was shocked at Ami and assumed she was so upset she was hysterical. Since she couldn't hit her, she didn't do anything. She just ignored her and flew home as fast as possible. The even past uneventfully. Goku ate most of the meal and Gohan told stories of what happened that day. The scene was one of a close-knit family.
"Gohan, it is time to study." Said Chi-Chi. Gohan face showed some disappointment but he went upstairs to his room. Ami left a little later. Goku smiled at Chi-Chi and squeezed her hand.
"Go on Chi-Chi-chan." Said Goku. "I will tuck Gohan in." She kissed on the lips and went upstairs.
KNOCK KNOCK! echoed through Ami's small room. She finished putting on her nightgown and answered it.
"I came to tuck you in." said Chi-Chi. Ami gave her a big smile.
"Okay, I just need to finish brushing my hair." She sat down in a chair and raised the brush to her hair.
"Here let me do it." said Chi-Chi. She began to brush Ami's hair. "There you go." She said when she was done.
Chi-Chi tucked Ami in. She didn't know why, but she felt the urge or the need to show Ami-chan how much of a daughter she was to her.
"Buenas Noches, Chi-Chi-san." Said Ami. Chi-Chi smiled down at Ami. She sat on the bed and smoothed a piece of Ami's hair off her face. She bent down and kissed Ami's forehead in a maternal sense. This almost brought tears to Ami's eyes. She remembered her father and Mercury-sei. She reached up and wrapped her arms around Chi-Chi's neck and wept.
This startled Chi-Chi, she hadn't expected this from Ami, but maternal instincts took over and she began to comfort the girl. "There there." She whispered against Ami's hair. The girl cried harder.
"Just tell Chi-Chi, was is wrong?"
"I am scared." Said Ami-chan. "I don't want to leave this place, but I miss my father so much." She cried harder on Chi-Chi's dress. "I…I…miss otoosan…so much…I…I…I want to go home…I like…it….h…h…h…here…!" she began to hiccup. Chi-Chi held Ami tighter. She hadn't really considered the possibilities that Ami had a home and a family. She thought Ami was an orphan, but the realization knocked the wind out of her. She held Ami tighter, she didn't want to let go. She felt something wet trail down her cheek, she reached her hand up to find it was a tear. She then too wept with Ami.

Trunks looked out the window. He smiled down at himself, well sort of, it was him as a baby. Baby Trunks was a sleep with a peaceful look on his face. It was odd, here he was holding his past self. He slowly walked across the room and placed Baby Trunks down in his crib, careful not to wake him. The baby stirred slightly but didn't wake up.
"You are wonderful with children." Said Bulma. Trunks turned towards his okaasan.
"Doomo arigatoo, Kaasan." Said Trunks. Bulma smiled at him and walked over to the crib.
"He is so peaceful." She said. She bent over the crib and traced her fingers across his chin. Baby Trunks smiled a little. She stopped and looked at him. "Trunks-chan, can I ask you something?"
"Sure." Said Trunks. He walked back to the window and opened it. The night sky greeted him in a warm embrace. Wind ruffled his hair slightly. Bulma walked over and looked out.
"Do you have feelings for Ami-chan?" she asked suddenly. Shock covered Trunks features, he used his Saiya-jin abilities and blocked it, but not before Bulma saw it.
"Sure I do." Said Trunks. "She is like a little sister to…."
"Don't give me that line." Snapped Bulma. She jerked back to make sure she didn't wake Trunks. He didn't make a sound so she looked back at her son in front of her. "I maybe older than you, but I have seen the way you look at her. You look at her as Vegeta looks at me when he thinks I am not looking."
Trunks stood in shock at his mother words. He swallowed and then looked at his mother. "How do I look at her?"
"Like she was a dessert and you want to devour her whole." Said Bulma. A smile ran across her lips. "You love her."
Trunks gasped and blushed. His kaasan never failed to surprise or shock him in some way. The sound of Bulma chuckling reached his ears.
"Don't be ashamed of love." She said, touching his arm. "Love is a wonderful thing shared between two people, you should tell Ami-chan how you feel about her. She deserves to know." Trunks nodded at his kaasan.
'Tomorrow morning I am going to go and tell her I love her.' He thought. "Good Night, Kaasan." He said and kissed his mother on the cheek before running to his room. Bulma watched him leave with a big smile on her face. She walked over to the crib and looked down at her sleeping infant.
"Guess what, Baby Trunks," she whispered. "Your mirai self is in love and is going to be happy."
"Playing matchmaker, onna?" she jerked around when she heard his voice. Vegeta gave her a look that threatened to devour her.
"Vegeta no baka." She snapped. "WHY are you ALWAYS sneaking up on ME!!??!!??!!" A loud cry sounded out in the room. Bulma cursed softly and picked up her crying child. "There there" she soothed. She winced when another loud wail escaped him.
Vegeta winced at the wails coming for the child, his child. He walked over and slowly pulled the baby away from his mate. Trunks stopped crying and stared curiously at his father's face. Vegeta smirked and lifted his son into the air. Trunks giggled with joy as his father tossed him up and down.
Bulma observed the scene between father and son with a maternal pride. Oh Kami, she loved him. She saw the fatherly affection in his eyes that barely ever shined out when people were looking. She watched Trunks yawn and Vegeta stopped tossing him in the air. He held his son and rocked his slowly. About a minute later, Baby Trunks was back to sleep. Vegeta placed him in the crib and looked at Bulma. Desire burned in his eyes. She blushed and followed him out the door and to their room.

"It is time." Said Setsuna. She opened the Doors of Chronos and entered into the dimension Ami was at. She looked at the bed where Ami slept and bowed her head, saying a prayer for forgiveness before bringing the end down on the back of Ami's head. She knew the exact location would make her forget anything that happened in the last few weeks. She placed a note on Ami's bed and picked her up, carrying her through the Doors of Chronos and back home.
