As the weeks went by Usagi and Mamoru got to know each other better and the more she sat for Harley the more he talked about her and Luna. Usagi would frequently take Harley to the park, the zoo or her home where'd they do all sorts of things, trying something new each week whether it was dancing, something messy like painting or just Usagi trying new recipes with Harley as her guinea-pig. Although no matter what they did they always had fun together.


Three months after she'd started baby-sitting Mamoru asked Usagi if she'd sit for Harley on the 15th December which she had said yes to, forgetting that it was the same night as Rei's show. "Rei, do you know what I can get Harley for Christmas?" Usagi sat nursing a cup of coffee in her hand while Rei was munching away at cookies provided by the amazing chef, Makato. The raven haired woman paused for a second before turning towards her blond friend with a smile. "There's this totally cute stuffed teddy in the toy shop near the crown arcade. It's a brown spotted Dalmatian with a red collar, a Ty Beanie Buddy called Bo" Usagi grinned and made a mental note as Rei jumped up, gasping slightly.

"Usagi, You're dress is finished. Wanna try it on?" The raven haired woman disappeared into her bedroom and came out producing the dress covered in a plastic sheet to prevent it getting damaged. Usagi put the cup of cocoa down and jumped up pulling the dress from Rei and twirling it around as she looked at it. It was ivory with two rectangular strips of material that were pulled around to form a band around her upper arms. The dress clung tightly and hugged her figure before trailing out just below her knees with a long train behind her that was roughly a metre long. The sleeves and bust-line were decorated with lace as was the hem of the tail. Pearl beads were scattered an inch apart along the hem at the bottom and Usagi found that when she tried it on, Rei had made it a little tighter then she was supposed to on the bodice so she was almost popping out of the dress.

"I can't believe you Rei! You said you wouldn't give me anything too flashy or tarty but look at me! I'm about to fall out of this and I can barely walk" Usagi shuffled out of Rei's bedroom and glared at the raven haired woman who was staring with an open jaw "Hino Rei! Don't you go looking at me like that". Usagi growled, her dodger blue eyes glaring daggers at Rei as she ran into the kitchen and dragged Chad through, a ham sandwich still in hand as he crashed to the floor. He pushed himself up slowly and blinked, the sandwich sat at his feet as his jaw hovered in mid air.

"See you look great, doesn't she, Chad?" Rei turned to her still staring husband who gave a half-hearted nod, not really paying attention to his wife's words earning himself a slap across the back of the head and a glare. "Hey! It's your fault! You shouldn't have brought me in here to look at her" Another slap silenced him and sent him packing back into the kitchen rubbing his head angrily. "You look great, Usagi.. Mamoru is sure to want to marry you on the spot when he sees you in that.. or maybe something else.." Rei wiggled her eyebrows suggestively as a cushion flew out at her head as Usagi screeched "Hentai!" at her. Rei's hands flew up and she caught the cushion, throwing it back at the blond as she again shuffled into Rei's bedroom and changed with much difficulty.

Usagi came out a short while later wearing her black jeans and a red tank top, the dress cradles preciously in her arms as she hung it back up then sat herself down on Rei's couch. "Ok what's the date again, I have to remember so that I don't tell Mamoru I'll baby-sit on the same night" Usagi picked up her cocoa, pleased to find it hadn't cooled down yet as she tasted.

"15th December, Usagi a week's time" The blond leapt up and let out a screech before putting the mug on the coffee table before sucking her finger that had been scalded during her little jump. "I told Mamo-Chan I'd sit for him that night" She let out a whine before flopping back onto the sofa with a pout. "I'm going to have to ring him and tell him that I can't do it" She turned her head as a hand placed on her shoulder.

"You're going to do no such thing.. You're simply going to bring my nephew to see me and be begged to model a dress because you're the same fit as the girl who was originally meant to wear it" Rei winked and Usagi's face lit up with a grin as she through her arms around her best friend. "Rei! You're the best. Thank you so much" She pulled back with a scared glance as she noticed the smirk on her friends lips. "You called him Mamo-Chan.. You're in lurve!" Rei let out a childish giggle that grew into full blown laughter as Chad stuck his head through the doorway from the kitchen and began to repeatedly sing "Usagi and Mamoru sitting in a tree, doing things they shouldn't be. First comes love(suggestive eyebrow wriggling and a cocky grin), then comes Marriage, then comes junior in a baby carriage" Rei leapt up and joined him in song, pushing him into the kitchen as they were bombarded with cushions from a scowling yet slightly happy Usagi.


15th December.....

Usagi stood nervously fidgeting, Harley was dancing around in-front of her and behind her was a line of 20 or so models, all of whom were skinnier and taller then her with more experience but Rei just had to choose her, her best friend to be the head model of the bridal range. Minako had done the lingerie line in a bright orange one-piece swim suite that had the insignia of Venus on the front in gold. Her hair had been done up in the usual style except her regular bow was gold instead of red. She'd strutted out there with bags of confidence but that was expected, she was Aino Minako, the superstar.

Ami had done the Winter and Autumn wear in a pair of faded denim jeans with Ice-Queen spelled out in blue diamantes over each leg, small snowflakes were embroidered over the hips and top thighs with glittery baby blue thread. She had a pale blue silk top that was held up by two thin straps, white lace formed a downwards pointing triangle over the front and she had a zip-up navy blue hoodless jacket that had a large snowflake on the back that matched the ones on her jeans. Ami walked up gracefully, holding her head high, those press conferences for the hospital that were televised really did help her get over her fears of being humiliated in public, she'd become much more confident.

Makato bounced on the stage with a large beaming grin. Her hair was up in her signature pony tail and she posed with true class. She was in good shape from her kicking boxing, self defence and other various martial arts classes not to forget the fact that she's a chef so she knew loads about healthy eating. She was wearing a short emerald green mini-skirt that was plaited at the bottom, two small pockets stitched on at the front. With this she wore a short t-shirt that showed her stomach with a moss green shirt, the sleeves were rolled to just below her elbows. She wore off-white boots that were hemmed on the inside with green silk and laced up to just below her knees with a green shoe-lace.


At the Hospital, in the conference room....

Urwa Greg glanced up at the TV that was playing in the corner of the room, a soft smile set on his features as his wife paraded down the catwalk looking, in his opinion like a winter angel. Mr Miaka noticed Greg's attention was elsewhere and looked up. "She's a beautiful young lady, Greg but we have some business to do" The young doctor turned to face them and blushed considerably as Mamoru chuckled. "That's his wife, Mr Miaka.. It's my sister's show" The man opposite them nodded , his lips turning into an O shape as he looked back at the girls walking and posing. "Nice work.." He trailed off turning back to his papers and passed one over to Mamoru to read.


Back At the show....

"And now here's another one of my best friends, Tsukino Usagi modelling the feature dress of my Bridal range" Rei trailed off and gestured towards the stage as the lights dimmed and a spotlight fell on Usagi as she walked out. The crowd were silent for a while as she took her first few steps, Harley could be heard shouting "Go Usagi" causing the blond to blush and look up with a smile. She looked over to Rei who nodded and then bent down holding out an arm to Harley who instantly ran up. He took her hand and she grinned down at him as he softly whispered "You look pretty" and pointed forwards. Usagi nodded and lead him down the stage, giggling at the fact she was walking down in the most beautiful dress she'd ever seen (even if she was practically popping out of it) with a little boy who was wearing a spider-man costume because he wanted to dress up too. There was a chorus of "Aww" and "Wow" as she gracefully walked down to the end of the catwalk before carefully bending over, pulling the dress up a little and picking up the small boy with a grin.


At the Hospital..

Mamoru was just about to sign a paper when he felt a nudge at his ribs, coming from Greg. He looked up to see Greg gesturing to the small television screen. Miaka was already staring at eh beautiful woman on the screen so Mamoru saw no harm in doing so himself. The TV was currently centred on a woman who was holding a small boy at her hip, her face was cut off and it was zoomed in on the boy. He watched as a hand rose up to the boy's face and pulled off the red and blue mask to reveal midnight blue eyes, ebony hair and cute cheeks. His jaw dropped and his eyes bulged standing up instantly, dropping the pen in hand. "Can't be.. Usagi's.." He trailed off as it zoomed out and showed the woman holding him. Usagi. A stunningly beautiful Usagi.

"Mamoru, Didn't you know she was modelling for Rei tonight?" Greg looked up at him and was given the reply of a shake of the head, midnight eyes still fixed on the woman on the screen. "You two know her?" Miaka turned back to them and Greg nodded. "The designed is Mamoru's sister, the head model for the autumn/winter range is my wife, the blond who did the swimsuits is a friend of theirs Aino Minako. The brunette who did the summer wear was another friend of theirs, Kino Makato and the little boy in the Spiderman suit is Mamoru's son, Harley who is meant to be with his baby-sitter, Tsukino Usagi... the one in the wedding dress and the love of Mamoru's life.. Ouch" A hand flew out and slapped Greg across the back of the head before hurriedly grabbing the pen and signing the contract. "Sorry gentlemen but I have to go sort something out" With that the Raven haired man was out the door, his suitcase and papers still where'd he left them but his coat and bag missing from where they had been moments before.


Back to the show....

Usagi breathed a sigh of relief as she got behind the curtain and the next model walked out. Minako, Makato and Ami all crowded around her with grins as they all squealed happily. "Usagi! You're dress is amazing. You should wear it when you Marry Mamoru" Makato grinned and dodged Usagi's hand as it flew towards her head. "How about I dye it black then I can wear it to YOUR funeral" Usagi glared as the others laughed, Harley pulling gently at the skirt of Usagi's dress. "What's up Munch-kin?" Usagi picked him back up and smiled at him gently as his arms wrapped around her neck and pulled at one of the streamers hanging from her usual odangos. "Are you going to marry daddy?" She blushed furiously and looked at the others who all shrugged their shoulders 'Some friends you are' She thought. "I dunno, sweetie. I like him but I don't know if he like's me too" She kissed him on the forehead then pretended to nibble at his ear.

They waited another ten minutes before leading the other models on stage, a group at a time then Minako, Makato, Ami and Usagi all presented Rei with a bouquet of flowers. Harley also presented her with a mini-Bouquet that was made up of four flowers that each of the head models had given him before handing the bouquets to Rei. Rei made a little speech then went back stage while the girls all got changed, Harley going with Rei. Usagi was sat taking off the little make-up she had on when a high pitched voice shrieked out "BITCH!" a few inches away from her. She spun around in her chair to see a woman poking at the girl beside her, Aerial. She was south African with chocolaty coloured skin, dark brown eyes and brown hair that was highlighted blond to make it appear lighter.

Aerial looked at her accuser in confusion as a finger jabbed at her shoulder then slapped her across the face. "How dare you look down your nose at me? You were the one that was being a tramp by kissing MY boyfriend" A hand flew out again and Usagi snatched at the wrist, giving a hard yank and causing the woman to stumble towards her. "Leave her alone, Ann!" Usagi recognised the woman to be Mamoru's ex-wife, hatred instantly flaring up as Makato, Minako, Ami and a group of other models crowded around them. Ann's furious green eyes met Usagi's and she straightened up glaring at her. "And You, you little WHORE! You're sleeping around with my Ex-Husband, getting all pally with my son" She leaned forwards, forcing to Usagi to lean backwards, Ann's breath wrung with alcohol as she breathed out onto Usagi's face.

Usagi suddenly lunged forwards, pushing Ann back and straddling her, as she pinned her wrists down. "I did no such thing, and you're one to go about making accusations like that. For starters you're drunk and secondly you're a hypocrite, You cheated on your Ex-Husband while he was looking after Harley then you divorced him to go play with your gigolo" Rei stormed through, Mamoru a little way behind her holding Harley closely. "Oh yeah right! I bet he's had you in that bed at least twice a day.. a pretty little thing like you.. He probably can't resist you because you're so sk.." Usagi slapped her across the face before standing up. "Don't you dare talk about Mamoru like that. He's not like you, He doesn't jump into bed with anything on legs" Usagi glared down at Ann for a moment before spitting at her and looking up at the gathering crowd. Her eyes fell on Rei then quickly onto Mamoru who looked both angry and embarrassed. Usagi was thankful she was already changed as she grabbed her bag and jacket before pushing her way through the crowd, Minako, Makato, Ami and Mamoru followed her while Rei dealt with Ann and Aerial.

Ami stopped as she realised Mamoru was following and took Harley from him as he nodded in thanks and carried on after the blond and the other two women. "Usagi! Slow down.. Come on It's alright" Minako slowed down, Makato soon slowing down to a stop also. Mamoru passed the two by and followed the blond out as she ran out to her car. "Usagi! Usagi! Wait up!" Usagi turned around slowly and grimaced as Mamoru slowed down to a jog, gradually stopping before her. She shook nervously, waiting for him to berate her for lowering herself to Ann's level, that's what he usually did if he heard she was in an argument.

'Maybe he's going to shout at me for slapping Ann, He must have seen me spit on her too. Oh no, he's going to hate me for treating Harley's mother that way. Kami, He'll never like me now' Usagi groaned mentally as a tear slid from her eye, soon followed by another, and another. She heard him sigh and shuffled forwards slightly. Her eyes shut tightly as he called her name, frustration evident in his voice. 'Kami, please don't be mad at me, Mamo-Chan' Her head began t slowly rise as her eyelids also began to flutter open but as soon as his palm connected with her cheek they closed. She visibly flinched and her face screwed up in fear.


Author's Notes:

Well here we are at the end of Chapter erm seven? Scary... Erm Sorry about the scene with Aerial, I was trying to avoid swearing and sorry for getting kindergarten wrong.. I'm British so we have nursery school instead. Cliff-hanger for you here but don't worry you'll ALL like the next chapter.

Baka almost got me in trouble today, we were messing around and pretending to be 'Chavs' By going "You startin'? Eh? You startin'?" so we decided to take things into the corridor and he was trying to shoulder me (Even though I'm shorter) and I was trying to push him away by pushing his arms back, both of us laughing like mad as he shoved me passed the scary history teacher's door while he was talking to two other scary teachers. So I ended up hissing at him and he gave up although before our little 'Fight' He kept leaning towards me so I had to put a hand up to stop him squashing me and it gave me an excuse to put my hand on his chest Sigh.. Life is B-E-A-Utiful
