~Well sorry it took me so long.. Hope you like...~
I was peak in spring and the World around her blossomed with flowers so beautiful it took her breath away. Much more beautiful then she had remembered.. She guessed it was again the power of the Imperial Silver Crystal. She was finding it had many hidden powers now that the full extent of its powers were well in use.. Even though the weather was perfect, she still stayed inside; more by choice if anything. She had become more exhausted over the last month but mainly over the last couple weeks and Ami was now stopping by daily to check on Hotaru. Yet Ami was talking to Haruka and Seiya about her. She couldn't hear but it was obvious that it was about her; the baby was two weeks late.
Hotaru wasn't worried; in fact she felt more at ease with knowing where her future was. She knew she was safe there too; so she did not mind. Just then she thought; maybe she is a he. It wouldn't matter to her in any case. She would love who ever it was. Another thought struck her, when she has the baby, will Galaxia and the Starlights come and claim it after Hotaru's job is finished? Is that why the Starlights are here? She couldn't think about it. When the time for that comes it will come and she will be there to face it head on no matter what path she chooses to follow.
Her earthly body now 15 although her spirit helped her to mature swifter for she looked to be the age of twenty. Still short and petite but for her bulge in her tummy her face and eyes looked it. Still the hint of innocence twinkled in her eyes when she smiled. She remained lost in thought until she heard her bedroom door open and there stood ami in the doorway, "Hello Taru-chan."
Hotaru nodded, "Ami-chan." Ami smiled and closed the door behind her leaving Haruka and Seiya at the door to think of what is going on. Everyone was on pins and needles worried for Hotaru and the child she bares. Just in case she always had a pot of boiling water and fresh towels in any case it was time. Ami stepped from the room calmly and walked over to the kitchen grabbing the towels. She then motioned Michiru to follow her with the hot water and Michiru did just that. Then the back up to Hotaru's room they went and closed the door.
Haruka and Seiya looked to there feet and sighed. Yaten smirked and leaned back in the sofa as they all sat in the Family Room, "Taru-chan is stronger then what we are all thinking. Ami-san will take care of her also. Now Michiru-san is also there." Taiki nodded to agree but didn't say anything.
Haruka looked to the stares and shook her head, "but its my Hime and as her pappa I am worried about her." Seiya smirked still looking to the ground, "you know Ruka; over the past months Taiki, Yaten and myself have become close to Taru-chan also. Aside from the objective." he stopped himself and closed his eyes and thought about what would happen once the child is born.
The next three hours seemed to be eternity for the four at they tried to talk and do things to pass the time. Ruka was about to run up the stares and burst through the door of Hotaru's Room when Michiru walked down the stares a smile on her face, "It's a Boy. Healthy too."
At that moment the weight of the past months lifted off of the shoulders of everyone involved. But Seiya blinked and thought, "Galaxia said it was a she though." Haruka gave Seiya an appalled look; it was the last thing that should be on anyone's mind, "Well Seiya, a star seed doesn't mean it HAS to be a girl. Look at you three.." she paused looking to them and thinking how they change to girls when they transform, "Well Darien would be a better example." Michiru laughed wile Seiya was looking to plot the death of Haruka but Ami stepped from the stares behind Michiru.
The others looked to Ami afraid to ask anymore questions but she smiled and giggled, "Taru-chan's alright everyone. In fact her power to heal will make her completely recover in a couple days. She is tiered though; you know her that way." before Haruka could question that comment Ami continued, "But like I said she will be fully recovered in couple days time. If you need me; you know where I'll be." she left the house and headed back towards the Crystal Palace.
Everyone then ran up to the room, well Michiru didn't she walked calmly letting the others get a head start. When Haruka got there she hesitated to open the door at first but she built up the courage to do so.
There she saw Hotaru. Her eyes closed and smiling as if in a sound sleep. Then they looked just past the bed seeing a bassinet. Where the new member of the family slept quietly. Michiru looked to Haruka and shook her head motioning to leave. Haruka wanted to rebel and wake her little Hime up to make 100% sure she was alright. Then play with the baby as soon as she did that.
Always being Hotaru's playmate when she was growing up she missed those days and was excited that they have come back around. With a heavy sigh and crack of a smile she took a final look at Hotaru and slowly closed the door.
~~~~Later on that Night~~~~
The three Starlights stood outside in the Garden that was only lit by the Glow of the Full Moon. They looked at each other with a seriousness that meant something was up, "now the real mission begins and we have to be on alert."
Yaten looked to the house where only one room was lit. the living room where Haruka and Michiru were. His eyes squinted and looked back to his teammates, "Well so far the words of the prophecy is true. The child is born on the day of the Full Moon and then in the time of cherry blossoms and as you see." he pointed to the trees around him, "they are all around us."
The two nodded to agree and looked to their feet. Seiya finally broke the silence, "well until orders from Galaxia come we are to stay here and protect the child like we would our Princess." then his teammates nodded and headed back towards the house.
~~~~From a tree in the distance watching the three~~~~
A shadowed figure watched the three walk back towards the house. A smile creped ipon the face and spoke. The voice deep and masculine, "So it's here that you hid the child and the girl who carried it. At last I have found them." With that said a cloud of shadow swept the figure away leaving no trace that he was even there.
