Note from chapter 1 - If you, or someone you know has been raped, sexually or indecently assaulted please, and I cannot stress this enough, please tell an adult that you trust, or go to the police and tell them, if not it could happen to someone else, and that thought is as bad as being assaulted, so please tell someone.
AN = Hi, as this is an alternate reality, please bear with the name changes, I will try to explain about the name changes in the story itself so that I do not bore you with long notes at the beginning or end. I know nothing about government agencies, or what they would really do in such situations; anything that I have or will write about is what I believe they should do. From now on they will be talking Japanese and English. If you flame me about Serena/Usagi's position then don't bother reading any further, this is a subject close to my heart and I feel strongly against abortion, so of course my main character will feel the same as me. Also there will be no Sailor Scouts and tuxedo mask, I like them, but I just want to do something different with their other sides.
Disclaimer = Sailor Moon unfortunately does not belong to me that right belongs to Naoko Takeuchi and the rest so please don't sue, I'm a poor young mom with four young kids , but Agent Steinberg, Cousin Lewis, Aunt Sylvia, Uncle Ted, Michael and the alter egos that I use are mine, please ask if you wish to use anything, at

This is a point of view from Amy and her mother, I also swap to my point of view, I do not know if she had a real name in the show, and I apologise if she has and I am wrong.
Chapter 6 – Amy and her Mother
Earlier on the day that Serena found out that she was pregnant Amy had been having odd feelings and sensations towards the two new people in her school, it wasn't a horrible feeling, more like that there was a power radiating from them, like an electrical shock, or a static shock, it never hurt it just was there. Amy being reserved and lonely had never had many friends, not real ones anyway, she hung around a group of girls and boys at the arcade sometimes, but that was more because she was tutoring one of them and had been asked to join in, it was nice but she felt that something or someone was missing and was hoping that she could become good friends with Usagi or Taichi, she hoped it was Usagi as she was terribly uncomfortable around boys, shy would not be too far from the way she was around them, but sometimes she though that it could be more than that, she had only one male close to her and that was her brother, so she was unsure of her thoughts and feelings in that department, just the same as she was feeling around Usagi and her brother, totally unsure.
Later that very same day Usagi approached her about finding a doctor that could speak English and not ask too many questions. Amy felt on top of the world because this stranger, this American had asked for her help, someone with whom she would love to become friends with, sure she had been asked by Usagi to sit and eat with her at lunchtimes this week and had chatted like friends, but that didn't mean that they were indeed friends, trust and being a confidant made people friends.
That was why Amy in her innocence accepted what Usagi said and offered to make an appointment with her own mother, not being worried that this could be something big, or something to worry about she managed to get a few minutes to phone her mom and make the appointment for straight after school.
((Mom, its Amy, I have a friend that needs to see a doctor that can speak English))
((Is it something serious?))
((I don't think so, she just moved here, so it might be to do with medication or something, she never told me why she wanted it))
((Ok, bring her by straight after school and then we can go
for dinner at your favourite restaurant))
((Sure mom, I'll see you after school then))
((Bye Amy))
It was straight after that phone call that Amy got her first hug from a person she wanted to consider a friend.
'Usagi, straight after school, is that alright?'
'Thanks Amy, you're the best' Serena then gave Amy the biggest hug that she could give without strangulating the girl. Amy returned the hug hesitantly.
After the last class of the day Amy met with Serena at the lockers so that she could take the other girl to her mothers office 10 minutes walk from the school. Amy had been thinking of something for a while, since the end of class, but it had bugged her through class too, something that put her off her studies, which was unusual for her, normally nothing would put her off. That something was Miss Harunas strange behaviour with the chalk and board, she knew for a fact that Miss Haruna could not speak English let alone write it, and that was what was bugging her to no end, she finally plucked up the courage to ask Usagi about it.
'Usagi?'
'Hm?'
'Did you do that to Miss Haruna?'
'I…no why?'
'There's something about you and Taichi, but more you, there is this power, an aura that radiates from you.' Amy blushed after saying that, but that was how she felt and she just had to say something to the other girl. She knew that Usagi didn't want to say anything on the subject, but she knew, just by looking at her that indeed she was responsible, Amy wasn't going to say anything more on the matter, not yet anyway, she was planning on writing about her maybe new friend and the strange occurrences around her, to help her to gather her thoughts and to try and figure Usagi out.
'Amy? Did you find a note in your locker today?'
'Yes, I am to tutor you in Japanese and maths at a time convenient to you.' I can't wait to teach her, it maybe the way for us to become friends
'Kewl'
'Usagi?'
'Call me Serena when we are alone please'
'Ok Serena, are we friends now?'
'Of course Amy-chan, you're my first and best friend. Please don't mention this to anyone, my American name or my going to see your mother.'
'I won't I promise' and she wouldn't, this was the best time for her, she was dying for a real friend, and felt that this was going to be a wonderful friendship, one that will last to the end of time, one that not even boys could break.
When they came to her mother's office she felt that she should tell her friend a little about her mother.
'This is her office, she also works shifts at the hospital. She is pretty cool for a mom, I think you will get along just great' Amy explained.
'Amy you're here' came the voice of her mother, who came out of a main door and stood in front of them.
'Mom this is my friend Usagi, she needs to talk to you, remember I told you on the phone.'
'Come in Usagi, Amy please wait out here.'
'No, I want Amy to come please, I…I need a friend, I trust you.'
'If you're sure, and thank you for giving me your trust Usagi-chan.' Amy was on cloud nine, this was the first time that someone gave their trust to her.
All through the talk on Serena's parents and her and Taichi's telepathic abilities Amy was thinking about how quickly she had become used to the girls way, yet she knew that this was not the true girl, that there was something missing, something that she wasn't talking about yet. Her ears pricked up and she started to listen to the conversation properly when she heard her mother ask Serena about unprotected sex, Amy thought that surely Serena was a virgin, she seemed to sweet to not be, and when she heard Serena's answer she just wanted to cry for her friend, instead she jumped out of her chair and hugged her new friend, which she could see shocked her mother, it was a shock to her too, it was something that she rarely did, she only hugged her mother on rare occasions and her father when he deemed her important enough to visit.
When they went into the ultrasound room Amy already knew what was going to happen, she had been involved in some of her mother antenatal visits during her school holidays for the last year because she wanted to be a doctor herself and believed that studying a doctor would help her.
When her mother said that Serena was pregnant she squeezed her hand as if to say it was all right, she was scared for her friend because she knew that being a parent would take up a lot of responsibility. She sat and listened to her mother as she explained to Serena what was going to happen.
'When I place the probe back on there will be a pointer, follow that pointer and I will explain what you can see, ok?'
Serena nodded so Dr Mizuno continued, placing the probe back where it was first.
'Firstly, this is the placenta its shown as a white/grey colour, the black area is the amniotic fluid and there is the membrane, and that in the centre is baby number one, there is its head and the beginning of it's arms, legs and a little kind of tail, that will eventually disappear as it grows bigger, now here…'
'What did you mean by baby number one?'
'You will see, ask questions when I finish please. Here is another placenta, membranes and amniotic fluid, it is sharing its main membranes with another, it too looks healthy and normal, and then there is baby number three, it shares the placenta with number two and the main membranes, they will be identical. So you have spontaneous triplets, a pair and a spare as we like to call them, that means the pair will be one sex and the single may be another or the same.'
'Three, three? I'm pregnant with that jerks triplets, I hope he rots in hell'
Amy caught hold of Serena as she passed out so that she didn't fall onto the floor; with help from her mother she laid Serena onto the bed safely and covered her up with the sheet, and followed her mother out the door.
((Amy do you think that she is telling the truth about the
rape?))
((Yes, she doesn't strike me as someone who lies, she has been very open about
her parents and we don't know her, so why would she lie? After all, she could
have said that it was a result of unprotected sex with her ex boyfriend in
America and they split up because she moved here.))
((True, there is something odd, I thought I saw bite mark
scars on her thighs, I guess you are right Amy, when she wakes up we will have
to see how she feels about the babies, I mean one is hard enough when you are a
single parent, but three will be a hundred times worse.))
((I'll be there for her; she gave me her trust that is something no one has
ever done before, so I will be there for everything.))
((That's why I love you so much Amy; you will help anyone, and even someone you barely know))
Amy went and sat beside Serena waiting for her to wake up, mentally adding up what she knew so far of her new friend.
One, she has been raped, is pregnant with the rapists children and has had the strength to stay alive and the ability to make people like her. Two she and her brother are telepathic, so this could extend to controlling people and blocking her brother from her mind, does he have this ability too, or just Serena? Three, she has this power around her, I am the only person that has noticed it so far I think, why am I so drawn to her, it is like our souls know each other, but I have never met her before today
With this Amy just kept twirling the thoughts around in her mind.
Meanwhile her mother was walking around her office trying to decide whether to report Usagi's rape to the American government in case she was lying about the man dying. She trusted her daughter and decided to look on the Internet to see if she could find anything about a rapist.
After logging on and five minutes of searching she found an article dating back five weeks, it was about a serial rapist who left bite marks on all his victims and repeatedly raped them while they were unconscious, he left a suicide note, a stack of girls underwear and a list of names of the girls that he raped, there was no mention of the names in the report, just that there was a list, Dr Mizuno assumed that this was the man.
Knowing that Usagi should be awake about now she picked up the leaflets about pregnancy, nutrition and prenatal vitamins and the notes that she quickly wrote up for the ante-natal visits and went back into the ultrasound room.
'Ah I see that you are awake'
'Yes, I feel better now too.'
'Alright, I have one more question about the rapist, and then we will take your bloods.' She waited for Usagi to nod her head and then continued, ' Did he hang himself and what did he leave?'
'Yes, and he left a pile of underwear and a list of names, I moved before the authorities got to me I think.'
'Ok, from now on I would like you to call me Mitsuke seeing that you and Amy are friends and I hope that I will be your doctor from now on too'
'Yes, oh yes, thank you thank you thank you, and you can call me Serena' Amy watched as Serena jumped from the table and hugged the doctor just like she had hugged her earlier that day. Mitsuke hugged the small girl back, wondering how the poor little thing was going to cope with this burden, and thought back to how she managed when she was a young single mom and made a decision.
'Serena, would you like to come to dinner with Amy and I?'
It took Serena less than a minute to make her mind up, she phoned her aunt and told her that she had made a new friend and that her mother had asked her to come for dinner, her aunt said yes as this was a momentous occasion for her niece, because it would be the first place except for school and the mall that she had been to.
'Serena while we are eating I think we should talk about the do's and don'ts of pregnancy, especially a high risk one such as yours'
'Ok, but I don't want to tell anyone yet, I do know that I will not kill these babies, they are mine, no one else's and I won't abort them'
'That's good, now I just want to say that I will support you in anyway that I can, you will not have to pay me for my time, I will give you free samples of vitamins, but you will have to buy some every now and again as I don't get them very often, I also offer my services for the birth and aftercare for you all, I am a trained surgeon, paediatrician and obstetrician, and if at anytime you need a place to stay, or need to stay away from your home for a night or few nights you are very welcome to stay at my home, I also have two spare rooms, one you can use to store baby equipment for as long as you need.'
'Thank you, but why are you helping me?'
'When I was 17 years old I became pregnant, with twins, Amy and her brother Shinji, my mother threw me out of the family home, and their father wanted nothing to do with us, my best friends mother was a nurse and knew a doctor that had always wanted children but could have none, this doctor took me in when no one wanted me. She was very rich and took care of me medically and emotionally, she became my mother, I never knew my father he died in a car crash when I was but a baby and my mother was a heavy drinker, I brought myself up, so this was new to me. I wanted to become the best doctor that I could be and follow my new mother. She gave me books on everything in the medical field to read that she had, when I was put on bed rest at 24 weeks pregnant, there was complications and I had nothing to do, I still did my school work and was allowed to do my final exams at home as my birthday was the end of the year I was one of the youngest to graduate after skipping a year when I was twelve. When I went to my graduation I was 36 weeks pregnant and very big, only a handful of people knew that I was pregnant, others thought that I changed schools, so there was plenty of gasps going around, my waters broke when I was getting my diploma on stage, I was so embarrassed, luckily my new mother took me to hand and took me to hospital and delivered my beautiful babies, both needed ventilators for a week. When they could come home she took care of me and them until I was well enough to care for them both, financially she cared for us, whatever we needed she gave us, I want to pass on what she gave to me, hope and love, I always wanted another daughter, but I guess caring for you will bring me that same joy I gave her.'
'Thank you, I hope that I can live up to your expectations of me, and be a great friend to Amy, so far she is the only one that has not turned away from me because I am weird.'
'Your not weird Serena, you just have problems, I think in a way we are kindred spirits brought together. Mom don't you think we should order our food, the waiter is tapping his foot.'
'Oh yes' Mitsuke waved the waiter over and after a few minutes of explaining foods to Serena they managed to order their food.
'I think we should talk about foods that you cannot eat during pregnancy and what activities to avoid.'
'What can't I do?' Serena asked
'No physical contact sports, or heavy lifting, no jumping, those kind of exercises, try yoga it is good for pregnancy. Also no raw meat, eggs, fish and make sure you thoroughly wash all fruit and vegetables.'
'Ok'
The conversation went on all through their meal onto what she can and can't do, what appointments and when she had to attend and what kind of things she should look out for on her body as bad signs.
'May I ask where Shinji is? You never mentioned him Amy, and why isn't he here at dinner?'
'Of course you may ask. Shinji is away on a student program, he went to England to study for a few months, he actually comes back on Sunday.' Mitsuke answered her.
'I'm sorry Serena, I never thought to tell you, wait till you see him, he is gorgeous he has the same colour hair as me, blue eyes slightly darker and he is taller too, and we have this gift, it isn't like yours, I'll explain it another time'
'Sure and I'll tell you all about mine and what I can get up to without people knowing.'
Mitsuke looked at her daughter and her kind of adopted daughter and felt a rush of love for them both, she didn't know why, she had only known Serena for a matter of a few hours, but it felt like forever, she wanted to protect the girl and her babies, she wanted to be her mother, to be a friend, it scared her.
