Oh, we get to see how the girls are going. I'm not sure some people will
like what I do next, but I never know what kind of reactions people are
going to have. I tend to pull a lot of wierd things. Here you go!
Haruka's POV.
~*~*~
We walked in and pretty soon we were hooked up to the ultrasound machines. Then, out of nowhere, Endymion grabbed Ami's arm as she examined the vital signs on Michiru's progress and pointed at my ultrasound. Ami's mouth hung open for a moment, then she laughed lightly. I looked at Michiru, then we both looked at Endymion and Ami in dazed confusion. Endymion cleared his throat as he finished looking at everything.
"Well, all the vital signs are in top shape as usual, you've been doing excellent for four months now. We just found something rather interesting ourselves. Nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly not bad. Just, interesting." Endymion said.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Considering this is my uterus you're looking at, I'd like to know what in bloody hell you're talking about."
"Um," Ami started, walking over to my ultrasound and pointing at one object on the screen, "do you see what this is? It's a heart."
Michiru gave them a curious look as she examined the screen further. Then she let out a giggle.
"What on earth do you find so amusing, dear?" I asked, crossing my arms at her.
"Just the fact that we might have to go find larger shirts for you, or at least stretch shirts." Michiru laughed.
Endymion gave her a curious look. "Did you guys just come back from shopping or something?"
"Hai, and we had a field day with the sales associate in the men's department. He didn't really appreciate a woman asking for the largest sizes in men's clothing I think. Or he simply didn't work well with pregnant women. One or the other." I told him.
Endymion laughed and shook his head. "I really do wonder about you sometimes. Oh, wait, this isn't going to be good for the women in charge of decorations. How many rooms are in your house again?"
Michiru sighed. "Six at least, there will be plenty of room."
I looked between the whole lot of them dazed and confused. I couldn't quite get where they were going with this conversation. Then again, the fact that they were talking about clothes and decoration after bringing up my ultrasound didn't really help me either.
"Minna, can we get back to the subject? What on earth are we doing here? Moreover, what is so significant about my ultrasounds." I demanded.
Michiru, who was now off the table and back to normal, came over and pointed at the screen.
"See this, it's one whole body," She started, making a circle around a small mass, then she made another. "And this is their twin."
~*~*~*~
I walked along with Michiru to the meeting room in a complete daze. TWINS! I was having TWINS! I could hardly believe it. I actually couldn't believe it period, which was why I continued to stare at the ultrasound pictures while Michiru guided me through the halls. This was far from what I expected. I knew it was completely possible with the fact that they had originally put three eggs in, but before only one had survived. That was an obvious hint to us that either they were identical, or we were all idiots and never noticed until now. Now all we had to do was get three rooms that were gender-equal in color. That would be complicated.
"Haruka, look out!"
I ran headfirst into the door and groaned. Luckily my head was bent, otherwise the twosome in my womb would have gotten it. That might not have been good. Actually, it wouldn't have been good period. I walked IN the doorway, then hugged Rei and Makoto as they came up and greeted us, then sat down. I was still examining the ultrasound picture. Then I heard someone clear their throat and looked up to see Serenity giving me a curious look.
"Is something the matter, Haruka-chan?" She asked.
"Iie, I'm just, trying to adjust to some shock. How many rooms were you guys planning to do for the nursery?" I replied.
"Well, just for relativity sake right now, its normally a good idea to have the babies together, so just one of the large rooms near your bedroom. Actually, we were planning on the one two rooms down from yours, it isn't too large, but good for two children for a while." Serenity said.
"Why not the one directly across? There's a bit more room. Besides, with me having twins, room for two isn't going to be enough." I commented casually.
Serenity started talking to counter my idea, while Rei and Makoto stood with their mouths open in surprise. Setsuna smiled and came over, hugging me.
"Good luck dear, you'll need it. In that case, however, the room directly across from yours is perfect. Now, we need to decide colors for the room. Obviously we'll want something that is good for both genders, and calming. We don't want day-glow yellow in a baby's room. It needs to be calm." Setsuna said.
"Certain shades of green might work." Makoto suggested.
"A warm blue." Rei offered.
"Pink!" Serenity exclaimed.
I groaned and looked at Michiru, then we both said it at the same time, "IIE!"
"Why not?"
"It isn't a unisex color, we need something a boy would like in his room." Rei informed the ruler, rubbing her temples.
"Oh."
"How about one of your senshi colors? All of them are relaxing for the most part, and certainly unisex." Setsuna suggested.
"We could, couldn't we? we could also use some of your colors." I remarked.
Michiru smiled. "A deep purple would look nice in the rooms. It would be nice to have in the dark so they could sleep."
"But if they end up as light sleepers, dark rooms might make them more frightened to be without their parents." Rei added logically.
Everything we were saying was true. We needed a color that was calming, so they could sleep peacefully, but not too dark so that they could enjoy the daylight and not be afraid in the evening, but if we turned off the lights they could take afternoon naps. There was only one color I knew that could do that. I saw it everywhere I looked, and in everything I did. I looked at Michiru and smiled, then touched her hair softly, looking at Setsuna.
"I think I found the perfect color, Suna-chan? What can you do for the room with it?" I asked.
Setsuna looked at me, then when the data transferred, she smiled. None of the others quite understood where we were headed. Michiru certainly didn't notice, she just thought I was being affectionate. Setsuna walked over to me.
"Well, there are several antique designs one could do, ancient filigree decorations, silver settings for the items. There are several openings for baby themes with that color. It would be more fun to do different individual designs, though. I'd be more than happy to make them." Setsuna explained.
"Arigato, I appreciate it. These children are going to have a wonderful aunt, even if she does control the strangest thing in the universe." I remarked.
Setsuna gave me a warning look that simply stated 'Don't even go there.' I laughed lightly, then the rest of the group looked at the two of us.
"Well, since the two of you managed to come up with all the ideas and explorations for the room before the rest of us could think of the color, what color IS the room going to be?" Michiru asked. She had that look of pure irritation at being left out written all over her. Along with the cute little pout she always manages. I smiled.
"Why, the color of your hair. Now we just need a theme that goes nicely with it." I announced casually.
"Water would be nice." Rei offered.
Michiru shrugged. "While water is a nice theme, it would hardly work if the child despised water. It needs to be something the both of us like."
Makoto thought for a moment. Setsuna was even stumped with Michiru's statement. Then Serenity brightened up. Heaven help us, she had an idea.
"I know something you both can't live without, music!" Serenity exclaimed.
I blinked. Serenity had made a point for once. That was something to be surprised over. But, how on earth would we do a room out of music? I was blank on that particular motion. Makoto and Rei undoubtably sensed my confusion, and immediately started concocting ideas.
"We could decorate the baby cribs with music sheets and various other things, and we could taper the walls with instrument designs. Oh, the things that could happen in that room." Makoto said, in a bit of a daydreaming state I was almost afraid of.
"Don't forget, we need to color coordinate."Setsuna reminded them.
"Oh, no need to worry, that part is simple. Alas, now that we have everything settled on the theme, you guys don't need to be here any longer." Serenity remarked.
We all stood and bid our farewells, then we left, Michiru drove this time. All I could do was look at the pictures in complete amazement. I was going to have TWINS. Out of the two of us, naturally, Mother Nature just HAD to pick ME. Sometimes she really had a twisted sense of humor. . .

So, how is it so far? We're getting close to the end. Can't wait to put you guys through everything. Until next time, Ja ne!
