Author's Note: REI AND JED ALTERNATING POV! Don't get confused, okay? I still don't know if it's angst or romantic. Bear with me.
~~~ Jadeite's Point Of View ~~~
The teleport's light momentarily blinded me as we made our way back to Earth at the speed of light. (Literally) The hurt look that flashed across Rei's face is burned into my mind. 'I hope this only takes a week at most. I need to be there for Rei. Even if it's weeks before the baby. She needs me there now! Some husband I am.'
The light subtly subsided. The palace was a mess. Books were thrown here and there, vases were broken, chairs overturned. This was not what the Terran Palace is famous for, let alone what it looked like when we left.
"What happened? We must've missed a lot." Endymion stared in shock. 'This was his home.'
"Prince! Prince you're finally home! Thank God!" Rosa, the head maid, gushed as she threw herself onto the Prince. That tiny old woman practically raised Endymion, and she was like a safe haven to him most of the time. "They came, so fast. Broke in before we could blink and destroyed everything. They even killed Hans, the new guard. It was horrible! Horrible!"
And the woman sobbed her heart out on Endymion's shoulder. 'The Terran people did this to their own ruler? "They even killed Hans..." Am I going to die too, just like Hans? What about Rei? I can't leave her, especially like this.'
I knew that the other guys were feeling the same. But it was different for me. My wife was eight months pregnant with our first child. 'I just hope it's not our last.' As if he knew exactly what I was thinking, Endymion sent a comforting thought across to me.
You'll be fine. Even if things aren't settled here, we'll get you to see your baby born. Serenity's going to tell me when Rei goes into labor so we can get you there.
But, Prince, I can't just up and go. What about the rest of you?
We might follow you. If a war starts now, we'll be the only ones against them down here. We'd have to go to the Moon anyway. Relax, it's not betrayal or being disloyal. It's an order.
~~~ Rei's Point Of View ~~~
'Something's wrong, I can feel it. But it's not Jadeite; I can still feel him in the back of my mind. What is it?'
"Hiya, Rei! How are you doing?" Minako smiled at me and all I could do was look at her in total defeat. Behind her, all the other girls trailed in.
"Horrible." I muttered and turned my attention back to the window.
"What's wrong? Is it the baby?"
"No. I need Jadeite here, now. But I can't have him. Something's wrong down there, I can feel it. But no deaths. At least no one I know. I can't put my finger on it, but it's not good."
They all sat on the sparse furniture in the room and asked for every single detail in what I feel. After that, I explained the vision I had, and immediately regretted doing so. I've never seen so much pity on so many faces in one room. 'Oops.'
Two Weeks Later...
~~~ Jadeite's Point Of View ~~~
Blood gurgling cries rang out from every direction as the war continued outside the palace. There may have only been five of us, but we weren't the ones doing most of the killing. It was man against man. I was only looking for my compatriots.
All of a sudden, a woman with long red/brown hair appeared out of nowhere.
"Jadeite, join me in this war! There's no point in getting yourself killed for being on the wrong side without ever getting a choice is there? Come."
"No. Never. I know that I'm the one on the right side."
"If you don't come, say bye-bye to you wife and baby. You'll never see them again."
My whole world seemed to go upside down. 'This is what Rei was warning me about!'
She was smiling now, "Well?"
"NO!"
"Jadeite! Man we gotta go! The guys are over there, come on!" Nephrite yelled over the din. I moved faster than I thought possible, but we made our way to them without much damage.
"Ready?" Endymion shouted and we all nodded our heads and joined hands. "????????????????????"
~~~ Rei's Point Of View ~~~
The contractions came swift and hard. All around me, women were telling me to breathe and push. 'I'd like to see them do it.' and again, Ami sent someone out to get some more towels or something.
"Come on, Rei. One more..." and then there was silence. Then, a baby's cry. Relief almost made me collapse.
I finally got to see who all was there: Ami, Seline, and Serenity must have been the one that ran out. 'It seemed like there were more in here.' After they cleaned up, Seline gently laid my baby in my arms. The bundle was warm and the face was so tiny in the big blanket.
"It's a boy." Seline said softly. Then she and Ami left me with Serenity.
"Hey, Rei, I found something that might belong to you." She said slyly.
"What?" I asked. 'I don't remember losing anything.'
"This," and she opened the door to reveal Jadeite standing in the doorway. My face lit up and I was so happy that I almost didn't hear the next thing she said. "He got here an hour ago and stayed outside the door the whole time." And then she, too, left.
Jadeite crossed the room quickly and hugged me over the baby. "I told you I'd be here, didn't I?" he gave me a short kiss and stared at the sleeping little face and hand beside it. "So, what's his name?"
"You choose." I smiled into his eyes as he thought.
"Aden. Aden Isaac."
