Quatre and duo are 24 years old while Wufei and Trowa are 25.

Makoto closed the small journal after she finished reading the last entrée. Her eyes were watery from the thoughts that must have been running through Heiji's mind when writing that. So it wasn't his fault and it wasn't because he didn't want to be with her anymore. He did it all for her and she thought all the wrong reasons and even hated him at one point or the other. Closing her eyes, she allowed the tears to run free while she turned away from the man she loved for so long.
A soft gasped left her lips as she felt warm hands on both her cheeks. The hands turned her face forward so she would be looking back into Heero's eyes, that were studying her, trying to predict her next move but in the end it still surprised him that she had threw herself at him. Wrapping her arms around his neck and burring her face in his chest, crying. Slowly Heero circled his arms around her small waist as he rested his chin on the top of her head. He had finally decided who he was. He was never Heero Yuy but Heiji Fujita. That was who he was and who he will be for the rest of his life. He smiled a small but happy smile as he held the most precious person in his life close to him. He would never let her go again. Not ever again.
Heero Yuy was just a name.

"What are you two onnas doing here?" Wufei snarled repeating his question for the second time, as he looked at the two women that were in Makoto's apartment an hour ago. Right now they were in side the house, next to the door that led to the outside world. Duo had complained that it was cold and didn't want to stay outside, so to Wufei's displeasure, they had moved their 'conversation' inside. Yet the two women refused to talk. One was raging with anger while the other looked like she didn't want to be here at the moment.
"What's going on here?" A tired yet alarmed voice asked from behind. Duo, Wufei, Minako and Rei all turned around to look at the silent clown and the blond man coming down the stairs. "Duo who are these girls? Did you bring…"
Duo quickly shook his head letting his braid swing from side to side. "No way man. They came on their own, I didn't bring them." He said quickly defending himself.
Quatre sighed before he cleared his throat and faced the women with a polite smile, while Trowa leaned on the wall behind Quatre as he studied the beautiful women in front of him. "Is there something you want ladies?" Quatre asked slightly politely yet curious at the same time. Just what could these women want at five thirty four in the morning? He thought.
The blonde spoke up right before the black haired did. "Um…Sorry to trouble you at this ungodly hour of time but…I don't know if we are in the right place but…"
"Of course we are in the right place, Damn it! Stop doubting me!" Rei snapped annoyed at Minako for stating something so stupid.
Minako narrowed her eyes angered and turned to look at the Princess of Mars. "How the hell should I know this is the place? This house is filled with men and I don't see any woman here. There's no way Mako-chan will be here. So shut up and lets go back to sleep alright!"
"You know Mako-san?" Quatre asked puzzled at what the woman said. That had brought up all the pilots attentions and each one was looking at the two girls.
Minako slowly turned her head over her shoulders. "You got to be kidding me?" She whispered yet everyone heard it. Meanwhile, Rei had a small self-righteous look on her face as her eyes clearly said 'I told you so.'
'What would Mako-chan be doing here?' Minako thought curious and worried.

Makoto pulled herself away from Heiji, enough to look into his face and still be in his arms. She sniffed a couple of times before she giggled softly. "I missed you Hei-chan." She whispered to him while looking into his eyes.
She suddenly had a strong urge to kiss him. Taking that desire, she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his in a sweet yet meaningful kiss, which told him just how much this woman loved him. Heiji pulled her closer to him by her waist while one of his hands cupped her face after he had recovered from his shock.
The kiss that they had shared brought out old feelings for her even stronger than he would imagine. He knew he had missed her for the past eight years. Her smile that she would give only him, the way she would look at him, her intelligence and her caring ways. He missed it all and he knew she missed him.
Heiji broke the passion that they had put themselves in and opened his eyes to stare at her. He watched as she opened her eyes slowly, revealing those striking deep green eyes that he had fell in love with first. He could feel her chest heave up and down quickly against his upper body as she tried to catch her breath. Her cheeks were flushed making her look all the more beautiful to him.
As their eyes locked once more, the pace between them lessened until their mouths touched, needing no words. Slowly they found themselves sinking into his bed in they ardor, tangled in each other's arms. Heiji withdrew from the kiss only to trail smaller kisses down her neck. "Heiji." Makoto moaned as she arched her back towards him. She loved the feeling he was giving her, but she knew if she didn't stop it, it would lead to more than just kisses. As she was about to gently pull him away from her the door slammed opened startling the two.
Minako who was the first to enter the room screamed as she found her friend on a bed with a man. Rei who ran into the room when hearing her friend scream halted when she saw the cause of Minako's screaming. Her mouth immediately dropped as she looked in shock. Her anger towards the Chinese man seemed to have disappeared.
"What are you two onna…?" Wufei froze as he saw the two on the bed, and his eyes grew wide.
Duo grinned while he tried to stop himself from laughing. Quatre was blushing madly embarrassed for the both of them and himself while Trowa all though surprised remained calm. "Well, isn't this the hot spot?" Duo spoke while his eyes sparkled with tease and joy.
Makoto groan completely embarrassed and tried to hide her face in Heiji's chest, while the man was glaring murderously at the group in front of him. "Get. Out!"
From the tone of his voice they could tell he was dead serious and not in the mood for anything. They took his commands strongly and quickly left the room, leaving the two renewed lover to themselves.
"This is so embarrassing Hei-chan." Makoto half whined and half sighed as she felt her self blush underneath him. Heiji only sighed as he moved off of her and stood up. He straightened his cloths and smoothed out as much as he could the wrinkles and his hair knowing the others would be outside waiting for answers. When he turned to face Makoto he smiled as he looked at her. She was on her side facing him, looking at him. She blushed when she realized he caught her looking at him and looked away.
"Come one, we have answers to give." He whispered to her as he grabbed her hand and pulled her up with ease.
"Do we absolutely have to?" She asked wishing she didn't.
"Come on." He replied and walked towards the door. He turned to see her smoothing out her slightly wrinkled shirt and adjusting her jeans. Quickly she took hair tie out of her hair and allowed it to fall. She brushed it a few times with her hands, before placing it in a low ponytail. When through she walked over to where Heiji was and smiled at him. "Okay, let's get the torture over with."
As soon as they opened the door, they were shocked to see Minako right in front of them with her arms folded below her chest while a frowned played on her face. "What are you doing here?" Minako finally asked angered. She had waked up three forty six in the morning just to see her and she had ended up in a boy's bed. "Do you know what time it is??? You worried us half to death and we come looking for you only to find you on a bed with a stranger!!!!" She screeched way to loud making everyone wince especially Duo who was right next to her.

In front of the gate of time, Sailor Pluto and Toru stood facing each other. The Princess of Pluto looked down at the prince with a serious gaze. "Prince Toru, before you enter these gates you must know that once you step into the past you must not give anything away. If you do, your future will be changed. It is forbidden to speak a word of the future unless I say otherwise. Is this clear?"
The young man nodded. "You have my word Pluto."
"Good." She replied. "You know what you must do. Keep an eye for Matsu and yourself. Makoto will never forgive herself if anything happens to the both of you."
"You don't have to worry, Pluto."
The tall woman smiled. "I know my prince. Now you must go."
"Wait Pluto," Toru started as he turned back to look at her. "When exactly is the time I'm going to."
"You mean what going on with your parents?" When she saw him nod she continued. "Right now they are beginning to start over. Make sure nothing comes between that."
Toru nodded before he walked into the gates, never looking back.
"Good luck, young one." The solitary soldier whispered as the doors closed in front of her.

Makoto narrowed her eyes at the blonde when a baby's wail could be heard from Makoto's left. "You and Rei are so incredibly in boiling water right now." She spoke before she left running towards where Matsu was.
"Thanks a lot Rei!" Minako hissed as she looked at the raven-haired priestess.
"What?!" Rei exclaimed in shock before she narrowed her eyes at her. "Don't you dare blame me for this. Blame that big mouth of yours! If it wasn't for that maybe Makoto would have just let us slide on home but noo you have to go screeching in everyone ears!"
"Oh whatever! Don't blame this one me! It was your entire fault! You should have never waked me up at three forty six in the morning!"
"Well, sorry if I was concerned for my friend!"
"Will you both shut it?" Makoto's annoyed voice came from behind the girls. "You're making fools out of yourselves in front of men."
Although they had ceased their arguments they were both throwing glares at one another.
"Mako-san, are these you friends?" Quatre asked as he looked at the brunette who was caring Matsu on her hip that the girls had apparently hadn't taken notice.
"Hai, Quatre." She answered as she adjusted the small girl on he hip so she wouldn't fall. "Gomen, for waking you all up. I didn't know they were coming."
"Mako-chan you owe us an expla…" Rei stopped talking when she saw Makoto with a one-year and a half-year-old child in her arms. The baby looked just like her. "Mako w-what's going on? Is she yours?"
"What are you talking…oh my GOD!" Minako exclaimed in shock as she stared at the child and woman. "Whoa, what's going on?"
"Mako what's going on?" Rei repeated looking extremely confused and worried. Was this hers? If so who was the father? Was it the guy she was kissing earlier or someone else?
The tall brunette sighed, as she looked the guys before looking at the girl in her arms. "Minako, Rei this is Matsu and no she's not mine. I'm just taking care of her."
The men and Makoto immediately saw relief in the two girls' faces as they sighed. "You sacred me there for a second." Rei whispered.
"Who are these guys and why is it that you are the only woman in here?" Minako asked looking at her friend. She suddenly leaned closer to her as she used her hand to block the men's view of her mouth. "You're not here to pleasure them are you?" She whispered, but to her surprise Duo bust out laughing while Quatre turned into a tomato. Wufei cleared his throat while blushing, while Trowa lowered his head to cover his slight smirk. Heiji was glaring at the blonde while Makoto turned deep red. Rei took it upon herself to hit Minako on the back of her head while she yelled "Baka! If you're going to whisper something do it correctly!"
"Gomen." Minako whispered sheepishly while rubbing her head. "Gomen Makoto, it was just a joke."
Matsu stared at the blonde with a smile and started giggling. She slowly raised her hand towards her for her to be carried. Everyone immediately stopped as they looked at the petite girl. She looked like she had found something she had been missing for years. Everyone turned to Minako with questionable looks. Catching up quickly, the blonde threw her hands up while shaking her head. "There's no way." She immediately said. "I mean with school, modeling, sen…other activities there is no way I could have one."
Makoto sighed while walking towards her. "She seems to like you a lot. Here carry her."
Minako was startled but carried her anyway. They all watched as Matsu wrapped around her arms around the older woman and rested her head on her shoulder. Duo smiled silently as he looked at the blonde. She would be a great mother one day, he could just tell. He was suddenly brought out of his thoughts when Rei had spoken.
"Mako-chan, please what's going on?" She found herself repeating her question again.
"Why don't we go downstairs?" She suggested as she looked at everyone. "Heiji and I will explain everything."
Minako and Rei's eyes widen when they heard the name Heiji and immediately looked at the silent yet cold looking man next to Makoto in surprise. Both girls looked at each other before looking at Makoto and nodded. Maybe now they would know what was going on with their friend.

Suddenly outside the gates of Quatre's mansion, a portal in the air opened and Toru fell through it. Twisting his body around, he made sure he would be okay for the landing. Smirking he landed on his right foot before the other followed. Slowly he raised his head up and stared into the grand mansion in front of him. "You're brother's here Su-chan." He whispered while a smile played on his lips.

Hotaru looked up from her lamp collection in her room when she felt something shock her in the back of her neck. Bolting off her bed she ran down stairs to see her 'parents' cuddling on the couch. "Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama, I felt something malevolence stir."
Immediately the couple stood up and looked at her. Nodding they bolted out of the house and ran towards Mamoru's and Usagi's home.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Usagi took in a sharp breath as she felt a sudden pain shoot through her stomach. The plate that was in her hands suddenly fell and shattered on the ground. She stumbled a step back or two before closing her eyes.
Mamoru soon came running through the door to the kitchen to see his wife in pain. "Usako!"
"Mamo-chan," She breathed trying to control the pain. "The baby…its time."
