Chapter 17: Blue Eyes and Tears
The months went by and Haruka was restless. Once her stomach started to swell, she couldn't do the things she wanted to. Not only that but there were certain things she was not allowed to eat or drink-something that Setsuna and Michiru strictly enforced.
Haruka wasn't sure that she would be able to get through this alone.
On Kinmoku, Seiya constantly weighed his duty as a sailor senshi and his love for Haruka but it was a decision he couldn't make, no matter how much he tried to reason it out.
Yaten and Taiki noticed Seiya's depression and constantly tried to cheer him up but nothing worked. Seiya would just stare off into space, in his own world. Taiki knew this was because of Haruka. Yaten on the other hand was clueless as to why Seiya was acting down.
But Seiya faltered in helping Princess Kakyu rebuild Kinmoku from the destruction that Galaxia had inflicted. He had made a choice and now he had to live with it, no matter how much it hurt to do so.
About nine months later on Earth Haruka gave birth to a girl with piercing bright blue eyes. Haruka couldn't look into her daughter's eyes; whenever she did it felt like a stab to her heart.
So far Haruka had held out hope that Seiya would have returned but now she stopped looking for him, stopping answering the door expecting to see him standing there. He was gone, forever.
