Authors Note; crystal rose asked how they didn't recognize her, this sort of explains it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

Nanny Moon

Serena stood, gazing, at the mirror, removing her green contacts. She didn't need glasses, but kept them in, in case she ever bumped into Mamoru. She grabbed a brush that was sitting on a dresser, that was beautifully decorated with Red, White, and Yellow Roses. She brushed her blonde hair, that was currently highlighted with streaks of Strawberry Red. After stroking her hair, she took a good stare at herself in the mirror. Had she really changed that much? That her own husband couldn't recognize her? Sure, she chopped off her long locks, that had once flowed to the floor. And she wore contacts, hiding her baby-blue eyes from view. She also, tinted her hair with red slightly, but, she still thought Mamoru, of all people, would recognize her.
After deciding to forget about it, she climbed into the double bed, and pulled the covers up to her neck, turning over on her side.
Meanwhile, Darien was still sitting in the kitchen. Occupying himself with bills and business. But his thoughts kept going back to Usagi, and then, for some reason, moving to Serena. He laughed at himself, "Do I really miss her so much, that I see her in my Nanny?" He poured himself another cup of coffee, and took a quick sip. "Ah well, I'm sure if it gets that bad, I could always fire her. I'm sure she could easily get another job if she wanted."


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The sun shone in on Serena's soft face, waking her. She slid off her bed, and changed quickly, not knowing how early Rini woke up. She smiled as she walked out to the kitchen, then noticed a person sitting on a chair, with his head laid on the table. He stirred and his head flipped over, it was now visible to see that it was Darien. 'Poor guy, he was probably up all night.' Serena thought sympathetically. She frowned at the picture clutched in his hands, of her, with Chibi-Usa. 'That was then, this is now, I'll make the best of this job. Make the best of being with my family, even if they don't know its me.' She though, walking into the large kitchen.
Not long after, Rini woke up, and came out to the kitchen rubbing her eyes. Serena was returning from getting the newspaper, and spotted Rini, who also noticed her. "G'morning Nanny Moon!" Rini chirped. "Good morning Chibi-... Rini." Serena corrected. Rini stared at her suspiciously, but then simply cleared her mind. "What would you like for breakfast?" Serena asked, laying the newspaper down on the table. Rini shrugged. "Okay, how about some eggs?" Serena asked, rummaging through the refrigerator. "Sure!" Rini smiled back. "Okay."

Breakfast was peaceful, Darien had awoken and joined them. But Serena was careful not to call them by their Japanese names, though she slipped a few times, almost calling Darien, Mamo-chan once. She cleaned up after breakfast, though Darien protested a few times, and they got into a water war. Serena won though, as Darien was too soaked to do the dishes. Serena dried off her hands, then went to Rini's room to clean up.
Darien found her there, sighing, once again protesting to her acts. "I'll clean up her room!" He'd say. But Serena shook her head no, and continued. Rini, was of course, enjoying not having to clean up her room, and went to explore Serena's. She touched almost everything, opening drawers while the two fought over cleaning. Rini then opened the drawers, one a little farther out then the other, and began to crawl to the top of the dresser. As she reached the final 'step' the dresser began to rock. Rini's red eyes went wide as the dresser fell over on top of her with a crash. She screamed for help, but it came out as a whimper. "HELP!" She choked out as the dresser began to crush her small body.
Darien and Serena had heard the crash, and immediately began to question what it was. They had blown it off as the wind, until they heard the scream. That's when they dashed into the bedroom to find Rini struggling to get out from underneath the dresser. Serena got there first, and pushed the heavy dresser off her, and Darien came and grabbed Rini. Serena's first reaction was to run to her daughter, but then realizing it would be inappropriate. She sighed and sat down, watching Darien be the perfect father by making sure she was alright.
