Disclaimer: I unfortunately do NOT own Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z. I still haven't gotten over it, but I'm in counseling so I AM getting help.
A/N: Hello how is every one? I hope you enjoy this new chapter. Though if you didn't please let me know what I did wrong and any suggestions to make it better. I enjoy compliments. But keep those flames coming my heater is broke. But seriously I still have lots to learn and the only way to learn is if you criticize my work. You could always throw in a few ideas with your review. Sorry these chapters have been so short and far between.
Chapter 5:
MiscalculationEveryone was in a clearing in the forest having a picnic lunch. Vegeta had his arms crossed scowling while he leaned against a tree. Piccolo had his legs crossed floating in the air pretending to meditate, but everyone new he was listening to everything. Bulma and Chi-Chi were placing all the food on a blanket while the girls played with Trunks. Gohan and Mirai Trunks were bringing all the food from CC while Tien, Yamcha, Krillan, and Chaotsu went swimming in a pond. Bulma had organized this picnic hoping that it would cheer up the Outers and Usagi because they had all become a bit homesick in the five months since Usagi had woken up. Chi-chi and Bulma finished with the food and called everyone over; in a flash everyone was sitting down and scarfing food like there was no tomorrow. After lunch Gohan and Usagi sat by the lake and talked while the rest of the group went swimming. Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Hotaru sat on Vegeta's, Tien's, Yamcha's and Trunks shoulders while they played chicken. As they laughed, well everyone except Vegeta, a scream tore through the woods, a scream very familiar to the Outers.
Haruka jumped off of Vegeta's shoulders, "Usagi!! I'm coming." She ran like the wind to Usagi and Gohan. As she got closer she saw Gohan holding a crying Usagi who was clutching at her stomach. She screamed once more before collapsing into unconsciousness. Haruka felt for her pulse and sighed with relief when she felt that it was strong and steady. The rest of the Outers came running as Haruka picked Usagi up in her arms.
"We have to get her back to CC, I don't know what's happening to her but we should get her into bed," Haruka brushes some hair out of Usagi's eyes as she talks.
Setsuna summons her time staff, once in her hands she opens a portal to CC and the Outers step through, "Gohan stay and tell the other's where we went." Her voice trailed off as the portal closed,
Usagi was in the dream room that her mother had created for her. She screamed as another contraction hit her, she was giving birth to her child and she was in excruciating pain, the stabbing pain in her stomach and back making her scream bloody Mary. The dark room was filled with light and voices and her princess dress changed into a hospital like robe, though it did have a back. The voices around her started to whisper as she screams in pain, then she feels cool hands her forehead, hands supporting her back and many calming voices whispering encouragements in her ears. She takes a deep breath and listens to the voices guide her through, it took several hours but finally she heard the cry of a child. In a flash the voices were gone and the room's lights dimmed enough that she could open her eyes. She lay on the ground and panted trying to catch her breath; she was covered in sweat and still bleeding. She opened her eyes slowly and saw the silhouette of her mother; her mother was holding a little girl in her arms.
Usagi sat up and reached for her child, her mother gave her her daughter and said, "Here is your child, treat her well and remember you are well loved." Her mother took a step back and disappeared. Usagi looked at the baby in her arms and smiled. The child, whom she had decided to name Aurora Serenity Tsukino, had ebony black hair with streaks of silver white and pink. The child cooed and fell asleep, Usagi sighed a deep content sigh and wished to go home, a white light surrounded her and when she opened her eyes she recognized her room at CC. By her bed napping in a chair was Haruka, lying on the floor with her head on Haruka's knees was Michiru, resting with her back to the bed and her chin on her chest was Setsuna and Lying on the floor with her head in Setsuna's lap was Hotaru. Usagi nearly laughed at the scene but the red numbers on the clock stopped her, they read 3:00 am. 'Wow I sure have been gone along while.' A soft cooing brought her back to the present, Aurora was waking up and it looked like she was hungry. Usagi got out of bed as quietly as possible and walked to the door, she slowly opened it and shot outside. She walked down the stairs and walked towards the kitchen, once there she went to the fridge and got out some milk, then she moved to the pantry were they had placed the baby stuff they had bought for when Usagi had her baby. She got out a bottle and some formula; she balanced Aurora on one arm while she tried to put the milk in a pan to heat up. She got off balance and was just about to drop the milk in favor of keeping a hold of Aurora when a hand grabbed the milk and placed a hand to the small of her back to balance her.
She looked over her shoulder and smiled, "Gohan, I'm sorry did I wake you up?"
He shook his head, "No, Me and the rest of the guys have been waiting in the living room for you to wake up. So why are you making formula?" She looked at him in surprise realizing he hadn't seen Aurora yet.
"She turned around and lifted her arms, "Well it looks like we miscalculated, I had my daughter tonight instead of in four months." She smiled slightly and lifted the blanket away from Aurora's face, "I've named her Aurora Serenity Tsukino."
Gohan smiled softly, "Wow she's really pretty, that name suits her really well. Do you want some help? If you sit down I'll make the formula." He made shooing motions and started pouring milk into the pan. Usagi smiled and sat down enjoying the quiet before the commotion she new would happen when everyone woke up.
When Haruka woke up that morning and felt an odd warmth on her long 14-year-old legs, she looked down and noticed Michiru's teal hair spread out on her legs. She smiled and leaned down and kissed Michiru on the head. Michiru murmured in her sleep and slowly woke up. When she lifted her head she looked up to see a smiling Haruka, Michiru smiled back and kissed her quickly on the lips.
"Hello Ruka and how did you sleep?" Michiru asked as she slowly stretched and stood up.
Ruka yawned, "Well Michi my legs certainly stayed warm."
Michi laughed then glanced at the bed, "Where's Usagi?"
"Oh don't worry about her she woke up a little while ago and went down stairs. She was trying to be quiet and I didn't want to wake you up so I just let her go. So you ready to go check on her? We should let Setsuna and Firefly sleep," she pointed to the two who were still sleeping on the floor. Michi giggled softly before nodding her head, she offered Ruka her hand and helped the love of her life out of the chair. When they were standing Ruka made no move to pull her hand away so they stayed like that, staring into each other's eyes just holding hands. They leaned in toward each other and their lips touched softly they wrapped their arms around each other and kissed passionately. They broke off with a gasp and giggled as one.
"Gosh I don't think I've ever giggled this much before, being young sure does make you silly. So are you ready to face the world Michi or do you want another go." Ruka wiggled her eyebrows and smiled.
Michi blushed and sighed, "No we better check on Usa." They grabbed each other's hands and walked out the door. They walked down the stairs smiling at each other; they went to the kitchen to see if they could help Bulma and Chi-Chi cook breakfast for the masses. What they found was Usagi holding a baby while Gohan made a bottle of formula.
"Good morning Koneko and how are you this fine not-quite-light-out day? And who might that be your holding?" Asked Ruka.
Usagi swallowed to gather her courage, "Well Ruka-chan this is Aurora Serenity Tsukino, she's my daughter." She paused waiting for her reaction, hoping it wouldn't be to scream at her.
Then to her surprise Ruka smiled, "That's wonderful, I'm so happy for you." Ruka paused, "But I didn't think she was supposed to born for another four months?"
"Well it seems that we miscalculated the months, the pregnancy started when I made my wish NOT when I had my dream." Usagi blushed and looked down, "Do you want to hold her?"
"Ruka blessed her with a radiant smile, "I would be honored, do you think she will mind?"
"No I think she would love to be held by her Aunty Ruka." Usagi handed Aurora over very carefully and Ruka held her close to her chest smiling softly as the child grabbed her shirt in its little fist.
Michi walked over to see how Gohan was doing, "So how's that formula coming along? You doing OK? Need any help?"
He shook his head, "I think I'm fine, I'm almost done." He pored the milk into the bottle with the formula and tested the finished product on his wrist. He nodded and handed the bottle to Usagi, she took it and motioned them all to follow her into the study where she could sit down on a couch. Ruka handed Aurora back to Usagi who sat down and started feeding Aurora; Gohan sat next to her on the couch watching her softly talk to the baby as she ate. Ruka sat down on a chair and Michi sat down in her lap resting a head on Ruka's shoulder. They slowly fell asleep happy that their princess was okay and that her child was safe. On the couch Gohan and Usagi slowly fell asleep as Aurora finished eating then burped. Usagi half asleep put the bottle on the table next to the couch and drew Aurora closure to her. As Gohan fell into sleep his arm found its way around her waist and while Usagi fell asleep she leaned into him turning her back to his stomach and pulling her feet underneath her. They all slept that way until Bulma called everyone to come eat breakfast. Gohan and Usagi both realized their position at the same time and jumped away from each other with a blush. Michi and Ruka walked to the kitchen with a laugh while Gohan and Usagi avoided each other's gazes as they to walked into the kitchen, Usagi preparing herself to answer a whole lot of questions.
