"Honey, now tell me exactly how did you know that woman?" Kevin asked coming out of his shock.


"We'll I guess since she came here and told us all that it's okay to tell you everything now"


Irene took a deep breath as everyone looked at her to start the explanation.


"About three months ago I was up one night because I couldn't sleep. I decided that while I was up I should go check on Sammy and Serena...."


Flashback


Silently she walked down to Sammy's room where he slept peacefully with his worn Sailor Moon doll. She smiled and pulled the covers up to his chin. After walking out she was about to head to Serena's room when she heard rustling and whispering.


A minute after she realized it was coming from Serena's room. She quickly walked to the room where she found the door half open. Using the darkness as cover she hid while still being able to see what was happening in her daughter's room. As her eyes searched the room they fell upon the empty, ruffled bed and the figure next to it. Sailor Moon. She silently gasped.


'Where's my baby. What has happened to her to bring Sailor Moon here?' she cried silently. Looking again a small figure jumped on the bed. She recognized it as Luna. The thing she didn't recognized is that she was talking.


"Serena are you okay? That was a very tough battle" Luna asked in her regular British accent.


Irene gasped. 'That cat..I mean Luna called Sailor Moon Serena. That can't be her...can it?'


"I'm fine Luna. Tired but fine." Serena said tiredly.

"That's okay. I'm going to Crown to meet Artemis so you get some sleep." Luna answered jumping on the window sill, "Remember you have school tomorrow"


Serena groaned. "Did you have to remind me?"


"Yes I did. An education is very important necessity for a princess and future queen of the universe." Luna announced proudly.


"Yeah, yeah I know to grow up to become a great leader yada yada yada; aren't you late Luna?"


"Oh yes I must go now. Sleep well Serena" she said before jumping out the window. Serena detransformed back into her bunny pjs then plopped on her bed.


'My god, my baby is Sailor Moon. How did this happen? And why didn't she tell me?' pondered Irene.


End of Flashback


"That was the night Kevin. That was the night that I found out that our precious daughter was the champion of love and justice" she stated.


Kevin's eyes widened. "What?! You mean m..m..my daughter is Sailor M..moon" he stuttered. She nodded.


"Yes. Her friends, including my granddaughter, are the rest of the senshi" Hitoshi suddenly added.


"How did you find out? Did you see Raye transform?" asked Keith.


Hitoshi closed his eyes seemingly in thought. "The Great Fire reveals many things." he replied mysteriously.


"So Ami, Raye, Serena, Mina, and Lita are the Sailor Senshi? It's hard to believe but it somehow seems natural. Like it's expected of them" wondered Amelia.


"I know. It's scary to know that my baby is risking her life like this and I can't do anything about it" added Monica.


"But that still does not reveal how that Queen Serenity is Serena's mother when she is sitting right here" Mr. Kwasaki put in.


"Me finding out Serena's secret was much more complicated. I heard her anguish as she cried over her friends and what would happen the next day and the day after that. Serenity came to Serena's aid the way I could not. At the time I could not understand the situation so I confronted Serenity with my findings...."


Flashback


"I want to now why MY daughter is calling YOU her mother!! It makes absolutely no sense. And another thing; are you the one who made Serena Sailor Moon? If you are so help me God I'll..."


"Since..." she interrupted, "you have been there since she came back from the battle you should have heard that it is her destiny and duty to be Sailor Moon. It was not planned but it came out to be the best that is needed to help her to become a better queen" Serenity answered. Irene sighed.


"Okay so she's Sailor Moon but how is she your daughter. I gave birth to her. I held her in my arms when she came out of me. I carried her in my womb for nine months and watched her grow up. How can she be you daughter; it is not physically possible."


"It was not physically possible for Serena and her friends to die one thousand years ago and be sent to the future one thousand years later but it happened"


"S..she died? One thousand years ago?" Irene asked shocked.


"Yes she did. I went through exactly what you went through. I gave birth to her, held her in my arms, and watched her grow up; but only I watched her die." Serenity said darkly.


End of Flashback


"She explained it all to me. Serena's struggles, her fears, her happiness, her life. She allowed me to remember what happened while I was in labor with our first child"


"What do you mean, Irene? The birth was a hard one. You were unconcious for about two minutes but then you suddenly woke up with renewned energy and delivered our daughter. What's there to talk about?" Kevin protested.


"There is plenty to talk about! In those two short minutes this world's entire destiny was changed with one little word!...."


Flashback (Last one I promise!)


"PUSH!!" the doctor screamed. Nurses rushed everywhere either getting medication or more towels for the sweaty, soon-to-be mother.


"I can't push anymore! Kevin this is all your bloodly fault! Don't ever touch me again!!" Irene yelled tiredly. When was this thing coming out?! 'You've been in there for nine months already! Wasn't that enough?!'


"Please honey! You're going to have to push. It's just a couple more. You can do it I believe in you!" Kevin said frantically.


Squeezing her eyes shut and leaning up alittle, she pushed again. Screaming loudly she pushed harder, crushing Kevin's hand. He yelled as loud as her, for her pain and especially his. She breathed loudly leaning back into the sweat covered pillow in pain.


'Why...why won't she come out?! Is something wrong with my baby? God, don't let her die!' she cried to herself. All around her voices flew in a flurry.


"We might have to do a C-section in order for Irene and the baby to survive." the doctor diagnosed.


Suddenly there was a bright flash of light and everyone disappeared. Surrounded by darkness but still on the bed, Irene looked up to see a slightly tall woman with beautiful silver hair and a crescent moon in the middle of her forehead.


"W..who are you? A..a.are you an angel? Am I gonna die?" Irene asked in a frightened voice.


"It's okay Irene. I'm not going to hurt neither you nor baby." she replied softly.


"How did you know my name?" she asked shocked. The woman smiled.


"Well since you seem so uncomfortable about me knowing your name, I'll make it even and tell you mine. My name is Serenity and I need you to do me a very great favor." Irene wasn't sure if she should trust this woman.


"I need you to have my baby" she said simply.


Irene's face blanched. "What?!! Have YOUR baby?!! I can't have YOUR baby! As you can see I am already very much pregnant!" she exclaimed.


"Please Irene! I'm begging you! You must have my child. Don't worry how it is possible. She needs to be born into this world. It is for the good of the entire universe and beyond. Please Irene, trust me. I would not be doing this if I didn't think you would be the perfect person to mother my daughter. I need you just as my daughter needs you!" she explained hurriedly.


Doubt was still apparent on Irene's face, but was quickly disappearing at the woman's words.


'Should I believe her? Is this even real?! Well, I guess there's no harm if this is so important. I can't just say no. I believe all of this will work out for the best. I feel I can trust her. It's strange but...I have no choice. May God help me deliver this child safely' she decided.


Nodding she said, "Yes Serenity, I'll do it" Serenity's face immediately lit up. She ran over and gave Irene a tight hug.


"Thank you so much! You will never regret this Irene. This child is destined for greatness and you have given her exactly what she needs to get started." She thanked. Pushing herself up she put one hand on Irene's swelling stomach. A bright light shot from it and into Irene's belly.


"Everything is fine now. Finally." Serenity breathed, "Thank you again"


"It's fine. I just hope I have a safe delivery" Irene commented.


"You will; I'll make sure of it!" she answered. Slowly she began to fade away.


"Good Luck" Serenity whispered before she disappeared.



As soon as she did everything came back to the way it was before, even the pain.


"Ms. Tsukino I need one giant push" the doctor rushed. Gathering all her strength she shut her eyes again.


'Please baby, come out this time' she prayed to herself. Gripping her husband's hand again she pushed.


"That's it honey! You're almost there! Almost..almost...alm.." he was cut off by a baby's cry. "YES!!! You did it honey! She's out! Our baby is out!" Kevin yelled.


Laying back in the pillow she looked up at the white, black-dotted ceiling.


'Thank you so much. My baby's alright. Wait, was that dream for real?!' Her thoughts were interrupted when they handed her the yellow-haired bundle of joy.


"You can relax now MRS. Tsukino. You now have a healthy, beautiful baby girl" he said quite happily.


"Oh, my baby" she cooed softly as she hugged her close. "My beautiful baby girl" Kevin looked on in pride at the mother-daughter scene.


He softly kissed her on the forehead and asked, "So what will her name be?" Immediately the silver goddess popped in her head.


"Serena. I'll name her Serena"


End of Flashback


"Once I remembered that moment everything was clear. I had given birth to an angel. The sovreign of the world who would protect and bring peace among everyone. Since then I understood Serena better and held her in a different light. And now you all know. You know what you daughters have gone through everynight. The sacrifices they've made, the tears they've shed, the life they lost!" Irene whispered overcome by emotions.


Monica quickly got up and rushed to Irene's side pulling her into a fierce hug.


"Irene, I'm sorry that you had to keep all of this to yourself for so long. It doesn't matter though, we're all here now and you're right, we know. Together we can all get through this right, Amelia?"


Amelia also rushed and hugged the two women.


"Everything's different but we'll strive to keep it the same. The girls know exactly what they are doing. Right now all we need to do is to keep faith for them each to return home safely" she assured.


The men and teacher's looked on at the touching sence.


"They're right you know" Kevin said to Keith.


"They always are. I guess our little girls aren't so little anymore, huh?" Keith said nodding in agreement,


"There's nothing left to do but hope"


"And believe" Mr. Lee added silently.


"And watch" said Ms. Masaki.


"And wait" said Mr. Hiroshomi.


"And anticipate" said Mr. Kwasaki.


"And pray..." Kevin concluded, "that I never find the crazy ass bitch whose causing all this shit"
