Hi folks!

What's up? I'm still sick:( and I'm not getting any better either. Do you have any cures for sore throats and coughs? Please? Hehe… Now… I'll try not to sound all too desperate but I don't like being sick! Waaahh! I've forgotten how it feels to be sick and I had kind of hoped that I wouldn't have to be reminded but no such luck. 'Sigh'

Ah well, I just couldn't resist writing this fic once the idea popped up in my head so enjoy and don't forget to drop me a line once you're done!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of the characters.

Oh My God!

Usagi, now called Queen Serenity of Crystal Tokyo, paced back and forth with a thoughtful expression on her face. How was she supposed to break the news to Mamoru, or Endymion as he was called nowadays?

She placed her hands on her stomach and smiled softly thinking about the new life growing inside her. She could hardly wait for the nine months to end so she could hold her child in her arms.

Endymion walked in quietly only to find his lovely wife standing and looking out of the window with her arms wrapped around her. He had been looking all over the entire palace for her, ever since he felt a huge amount of joy coming from her side. She was always happy but that huge quantity was rare even for her. He had tried to gain access to her mind only to have him rebuffed. Normally he could sense her whereabouts but this time she had managed to mislead him causing him to search the entire palace for her.

"Hey gorgeous," he said softly as he enveloped her in his arms.

Serenity started before seeing whom it was. She smiled gently at her husband and leaned back in his arms. She had always loved being held by his strong arms and feeling his strength and warmth. It calmed her, soothed her and made her feel loved and cherished.

"What has happened? I felt this great wave of happiness engulfing me and then you closed off your mind so, curious as I am, I had to find you but you kept misleading me," he said accusingly and pouted adorably.

Serenity couldn't help but laugh at the cute picture he made. "Serve you right for making me look for you every time we were fighting against those ugly monsters," she said with a hint of teasing.

"Hey that was only in the beginning!" Endymion said trying to defend himself.

"But you made me think that you hated me," Serenity said and switched on the waterworks.

"I'm sorry. I was mean. Please don't cry," said the king panic-stricken at the sight of her tears.

Serenity couldn't keep up the façade and promptly burst out in laughing. "You should just see the look on your face!" she managed to say as she doubled over with laughter.

"Why you!" Endymion said pretending to be angry and earning a shriek from his lady when he tried to grab hold of her.

She narrowly evaded his grasp and a full chase started. After a few minutes of running and chasing and laughing, his highness finally succeeded in capturing his dear wife. He grabbed hold of her and began to tickle her mercilessly receiving bouts of tinkling laughter.

"Say that Endymion is the best, handsomest and smartest man in the entire universe," he said continuing to tickle her.

"Never!" Serenity managed to gasp forth between her laughter as she tried to escape his relentless fingers.

"Say it!"

"Alright, alright!" Serenity finally said, unable to take the torture any longer.

Her husband smirked with that "I'm the best" look in his eyes when she conceded to defeat at last.

"Endymion is the worst, ugliest and stupidest man in the entire universe!" Serenity yelled before taking off again. His Majesty just stared at her before a devilish gleam entered his eyes and the chase began once again.

He had her cornered in no time and this time he wasn't going to make the same mistake again.

"Now my dearest Serenity," he said smiling with that mischievous twinkle in his eyes that caused the alarm bells in Serenity's head to start ringing. "Surely you don't mean all those nasty things you said about your husband?" he continued as he neared her.

Knowing that she was in big trouble now Serenity decided too switch on the waterworks again.

"Of course I don't mean it, but you always teased me when we were younger. Please don't be mad," she begged with crystal tears lurking at the corners of her eyes.

Endymion cursed himself for his weakness but at the first sight of her tears he just melted. He knew that she wasn't really upset but that didn't really matter. Guilt reared its ugly head as he thought about all the times he had mocked her to hide his feelings. He sighed in defeat and shook his head.

"All right Usako, you win," he said admitting defeat.

Serenity just laughed and jumped into his arms. "My poor Endymion," she said giggling.

He sighed again. "I guess it's my own fault for choosing such a manipulative little wife," was his grinning response.

His answer caused immediate reaction as tears burst forth again and she turned away from him.

"Mamo-chan thinks I'm manipulative; he doesn't love me anymore!" she said and started to cry.

"What! No, I didn't mean it like that! You know how much I love you Usako!" her husband said terrified.

'Might as well prepare him for the coming nine months,' Usagi thought impishly as she continued to "cry". She continued to listen to his desperate pleading and she could barely keep from laughing.

Her shoulders shook and it wasn't until a few minutes later that Mamoru understood that it was from laughter and not crying. He threw up his hands in the air in frustration causing Serenity's laughter to burst out.

"I can't believe it took you this long to figure out that I was laughing," she stated still laughing. "And you're considered the smart one," she said and shook her head.

Endy glared at his merry wife. "Well usually I am the smart one but whenever it comes to you my emotions go haywire and I can't think one single straight thought," he muttered.

Serenity hugged him and drew in his scent. "And that's why I love you," she whispered and once again she effectively managed to erase any irritation or anger he felt.

The loving moment was interrupted when the scouts suddenly burst in. The couple looked up in surprise thinking that something must have happened but the smiles on their faces overturned that theory.

Raye, Mako and Mina pounced on Serenity directly laughing and hugging.

"Congratulations Sere!" Mako said happily.

"Took you long enough Meatball Head! It's already been one year!" Raye huffed although she had a smile on her face.

"You're going to do great!" Mina said.

Endymion just stared at them having no idea about what was going on. He caught Serenity's urgent gaze and she was just about to say something when the girls turned their attention to him.

"Congrats!" Raye smiled.

"I was beginning to think that you couldn't do it," Mina said with a wink.

"You're going to be a great father," Mako finished.

It was Mako's line that made him stare with his mouth open. The girls saw his shocked face and all turned their gazes on Usagi.

"You have told him right?" Raye asked.

"Well, I was just about to," Serenity said squirming under their intense gazes.

"You're…you're…" Endy stammered.

"You're going to be a father," Serenity said sheepishly.

Her words were followed by a thud as His Royal Highness King Endymion fainted.

And that was the first chapter! Tell me what you think, any ideas, thoughts or anything at all? This story is going to be a two parter with an epilogue I think but I'm not sure yet.

Now don't forget to review, review and review!

Till next time then!
