Okay, okay, I'm a bit slow at these things. Actually, I think it's the fact
that I'm doing more than one of these at once that's slowing me down.
That's okay though. I thrive off of stress, and the compliments I tend to
get. Anyways, here's the next chappie!!

"Great, an idiot looming over me. Just what I need. NOT!" I grumbled, then I got up and walked over to where Usagi was feeding Sakura.
"You could have waken me up a few times." Usagi insisted cheerfully. Yeah...right. I need the practice more.
"Iie, I need more practice than you do." I grumbled.
"Well in that case you could have waken me up." Nephrite suggested.
I gave him a flat look. "Men are a pain to get up."
"Oh, don't worry about that, I woke up every time she cried." Nephrite told me.
"Whatever. Just let me know what the plan is for the day." I said, rubbing my temples.
"They offered to baby-sit while I run so I could run some errands. I hope you don't mind." Rei said.
I shrugged. "It's fine. I'll just get my revenge for last night." I replied, half smirking.
"Alright, I'm headed out."
Rei kissed Jadeite and Sakura, then hugged me. "Don't overwork yourself and get some rest."
Rei was becoming somewhat of a mother figure for guidance lately. I really appreciated the support she gave me. It was comforting. Rei quickly left and before I could move Usagi put a plate of bacon, eggs, sausage, fruit, pancakes, and toast in front of me. There was also a cup of coffee, a glass of milk, and a glass of orange juice.
"Eat up. You need to get nice and energized for the day." Usagi said, then she saw my worried face and added, "Jadiete and Nephrite made it."
I shrugged and began to eat it, trying not to devour things too fast. Rei had once and the result wasn't very pleasant. Of course, feeding two can be a major pain at times anyways.
"I'm going to get ChibiUsa and see if anyone else other than Luna is joining us." Usagi informed me, then she headed out.
Before I could finish half of my breakfast I gave it up to the toilet. I felt Nephrite put his hands on my shoulders and heard Sakura crying as the door shut.
"Shimatta, I need to take care of that." I managed.
Nephrite wouldn't let go. Granted, it was a good thing. If he hadn't the entire bathroom would have needed a good cleaning.
"Jadiete has Sakura. You and I are going to stay here until you finish." Nephrite announced firmly.
Just as I thought I was done the last of the pancakes came up. I wiped my face with a wet towel and Nephrite helped me up. I washed my face and noticed he was still there.
"You could have left if you wanted."
"You could have thrown up again."
"So?"
Nephrite pulled me into his arms and kissed me hard on the lips. When he broke the kiss his arms remained around my waist.
"I know you remember what happened, and I'm sorry to ever cause you such pain." Nephrite apologized.
"Doesn't really matter. You did what you had to do." I dismissed the words without another thought.
"You sound like we didn't have a choice in the matter." Nephrite said softly.
"Did we?" I asked, wanting to know whether I was insane or not.
"Well, I did. And it didn't seem to me that you were so drunk you couldn't make a good decision anymore. You seemed so happy to be with me. Like when Rei-chan was in labor."
I heard Usagi and Luna, along with Ami, and took that as an oppourtunity to pull away and walk out to the room again. Ami walked over and hugged me.
"How are you Mako-chan?" Ami asked, smiling.
"Just got finished with morning sickness." I said in a sarcastically cheerful voice.
"Um, minna, Sakura isn't happy over here." Jadiete started.
For the next five minutes we played pass the infant, with no luck in soothing her. Even with the furball's suggestions.
"Here, your turn Mako-chan." Usagi remarked, handing me the child.
Within seconds the infant was silent. Jadeite shot me a dirty look and leaned against the chair, pouting.
"My own daughter likes her nanny more than she likes me." Jadeite grumbled.
I looked in Sakura's eyes and smiled. There was an entirely different world in them. I could tell that Jadeite was far from the truth.
"Iie, she just knows that her best friend is on the way." I said.
"Best friend?" Luna raised an eyebrow.
"Well, Saku-chan and I talk rather often when Jadeite isn't here and I'm helping with the baby. The two of us have a rather nice understanding of what goes on in each other's lives." I smirked.
Sakura let out a light laugh as if to indicate I was right. Someone knew all of my problems, and they weren't going to tell a soul.
"Interesting enough. I wouldn't mind knowing what these things are myself." Nephrite said casually.
Sakura let out a sharp cry that I quickly quieted.
"Sorry, Nephrite, she doesn't like the idea. It's our little secret." I said, then I left and Luna followed me.
"I don't suppose Sakura will let an old feline know, will she?" Luna asked, jumping onto a counter.
A small sound of permission came from Sakura, and I smiled, sitting down.
"Well, get comfortable Luna, this could be a bit long. Sakura, start crying if an intruder is on the prowl." I told the young baby.
Luna jumped onto the table and started to finish my breakfast for me.
"Well, I'm a month along in my pregnancy, and everything is doing fine with the baby. However, I didn't remember anything about how I got pregnant until yesterday. I went to a club with Shinozaki and someone spiked the punch I suppose. Then next thing I knew we were in an arguement over my being pregnant and he was irritated. Then he decided he was being rediculous, told me he loved me, and asked me to marry him. I accepted and the phone rang. Can you guess who it was?"
"A certain general with emerald green eyes. I guess we might be using the crystal a bit for this one as well." Luna finished for me.
"Just don't brainwash Ran...not that it would work. The kids are a bit smarter than we give them credit." I commented.
Luna sighed and nodded. When we went back out to the rest of them, Jadeite and Nephrite had gone, and Nephrite had left me a note.

Don't you just love cliffhangers? He he he. Lemme know what you think. This chapter was a bit shorter than the rest of them. School is letting out soon, so I should have plenty of time to do this after then. :)
