Azusa's pov

After a long contract meeting, Rina and I walk back to my apartment.

"So is that why you started modeling again? Because you found out you were going to be a father?"

"Not really. I was going to anyways, but I guess when Kari told me, I figured I had to..." I stop and she looks at me.

"That's going to be one beautiful kid ya know. Kari could be a model herself."

"She'd be too shy." I smirk. But she's really hot...

"So who's kid was that Kari was watching?"

"Hatsumi's brat." I mumble staring at the bite she left. Damn that hurt...

"Hey look, isn't that Hatsumi over there?" Rina asks. I follow her stare, and nod. Hatsumi and Ryoki are in a coffee shop smiling and talking.

"Ya."

"So how far along is she?"

"A month."

"Just think Azusa, you'll be a dad. That's too cute." Rina laughs.

"What's so cute about it?"

She smiles. "I don't know, I just keep imagining you as the kid I met on a bench one day."

I sigh and stick my hands in my pockets. "Let's get some coffee before we go back."

Mizuku's pov

I stop being mad, and leave the kitchen. Maybe Auntie Neptune is..

I gasp. Auntie Neptune is on the balcony, asleep? Its raining she'll get wet!

"Auntie Neptune, wake up please please please." I say running out to her. She moans and I put a hand on her head.

"Call Ryoki." She whispers. "Grab my cell, and find the picture of him, and push the call button."

I grab her phone, and do as she says. Daddy answers. "Hello?"

"Daddy, Auntie Neptune needs you right now." I tell him.

"What's going on?"

"Daddy she looks really sick and her forehead is real hot. Its like when Mama had the flu, only she's not throwing up icky smelly stuff."

"Oh shit..put her on the phone."

I go back to Auntie Neptune. She's still on the balcony, and her forehead is bleeding.

"I don't think she can talk. Daddy I'm scared." I want to cry, but he tells me not to and to be calm.

"Try to keep her awake, and I'll be over in a...what the..." Daddy hangs up, and I run back to Auntie Neptune, and put a hand on hers.

"I don't have enough moon power." I say wiping my eyes. "I left my wand..."

Hatsumi's pov

Ryoki had left to answer his cell, just as Azusa and his old manager walk in. They sit near us, and she smiles at me.

"Hi Hatsumi, its been a while." I nod.

"Ya, is Azusa modeling again?"

"Yes, its official today." Azusa replies. "So how's Shinogu taken it?"

"Taken what?" I ask putting my coffee down.

"What Kari didn't tell you?" I look at him blankly. What's she gone and done now?

Ryoki walks over, looking pale. "Hatsumi we have..." His eyes fall on Azusa.

"What are you doing here? Chris' sakes she could be dead and your sitting here with...her drinking coffee!" Ryoki points to Rina, and she looks at me confused.

"Ryoki what is going on?" I ask finally.

"Its Kari, that..." He looks at Azusa, too mad to come up with an insult. "Mizuku called me, panicked and we have to go to the apartment."

"Kari? If she's sick why doesn't Shinogu take her?" I say following him out the door. Azusa and Rina follow us, but Ryo doesn't seem to care or notice.

"Because, she moved out last night." He says opening the car door. I stare in disbelief.

Wha...why didn't he tell me? Why didn't Shinogu tell me? Does that mean Mizuku knows?...

Azusa grabs the keys from Ryoki, and everyone stares at him. "Your taking me and Rina too. If something happens..."

"Its your own damn fault its happened." Ryoki snarls.

"She's the mother of my kid, and I'm sure as hell not going to let you be the one to save her Tachibana." Azusa demands. Its an eternity of time before Ryoki sighs.

"Just give me my keys, and we can all go."

Azusa throws him back the keys, and we all get into Ryoki's car. I sit in front beside Ryoki, mostly because he doesn't want to sit beside Azusa or "that woman."

Ryoki's PoV

After I park, Azusa and I end up racing up the stairs, leaving Hatsumi and Azusa's...whatever she was alone. He takes the elevator, so I dash up the stairs.

I open the door, and follow the sound of Mizuku crying. Kari is laying on the balcony, her forehead bleeding, her eyes shut. I carry her inside, getting her out of the rain. Mizuku follows me.

"Kari, Kari what...Mizuku what happened?" I look down at Mizu. She wipes her eyes.

"She...she slipped, and then she wouldn't wake up." She starts crying again, just as Azusa runs in.

"Let me see her." Azusa takes her from me, holding her bridal style. I almost grab he back, but decide against it.

"Well come on Ryoki don't just stand there." Azusa frowns. I watch as he holds her to him. Mizuku grabs my hand, and we run ahead of him to start the car.

Kari's pov

I wake up in a white room, and rub my eyes. "Oh my head..."

My head hurts like a hangover, only a million times worse. What happened?

"Miss Tachibana? Are you awake?" A nurse walks in smiling at me.

"Ya, what happened?"

"You slipped on a balcony, but you only have a bit of a concussion. No damage to the baby." She smiles again, almost making me sick. "There are a few people outside, should I let them in?"

I think a moment. "Um, let my boyfriend in."

I mean Azusa should know about what happened...

"Okay." She leaves, and I sit up a bit. Geez my head hurts...

"Ryoki called me, what happened?" Shinogu says as he enters my room. I look away.

"I slipt, geez what a way to end my birthday huh."

Stupid Nurse, assuming he was my boyfriend...I mean isn't it obvious I'm with...Azusa?

Shinogu puts a hand on my cheek, but I pull away. I'm sorry Shinogu...

Azusa walks in, and sits beside me. "You alright Kari?"

"Ya, I'm okay. Mild concussion, the baby's fine." I smile up at him. He pushes a strand of my hair behind my ear, and kisses me.

"I'd better go. Late shift." Shinogu stands, and goes out the door. As Azusa's lips leave mine, I feel my stomach sink...and its probably not the baby.

Mizuku's pov (Because we love her)

Mommy and Daddy don't talk as we wait to see Neptune. Mama fusses with her cell phone, and I look at her.

"Are you mad?" I ask. She looks at me, and sighs.

"Of course not." She looks at Daddy. "Why didn't you tell me she moved out? Shinogu's probably..."

Uncle Shinogu walks out of the hospital room and looks at us. "I've got a shift to work, thanks for telling me Ryo."

He hands me a stuffed animal. "Give this to Kari okay."

"Why don't you give it to her Uncle Shinogu?" I ask. He puts his hands in his pockets, and walks to the elevator.

"He's really sad." I say quietly. Daddy stands up and goes into the room. I follow, with Mommy behind me.

Auntie Neptune is sitting up in a bed, talking to the bad man. She looks at me, and puts her arms out. "Come here kiddo, my little life saver."

I let her hug me, and she grins. "You saved me you know that. Azusa told me all about you calling Ryo. You were a real hero ya know that."

"Like Sailor Moon?"

"Ya, and you didn't even need a wand." I give her the stuffed cat, and she looks at it. "What's this?"

"It's a present." I lean close to her, and whisper. "It's a special present from Uncle Shinogu."

She looks kind of sad at it, but hugs it tightly. "Thanks."

"So when are you getting out?" Daddy asks her.

"Tomorrow morning, they want me to stay another night just in case. Thanks for giving Azu a ride here. Where'd Rina-san go?"

"She said she felt out of place, so she went home." The bad man says.

"Mommy I'm sleepy." I tell her. Mama hasn't said much, just stared. She looks back at me and picks me up.

"Then I suppose we'll head back home." Mama looks at the bad man, who has a bandage around his hand. "What happened?"

"Your brat bit me."

"Its not nice to bite." Mama says as we walk out. Once we're in the elevator though, she smiles at me. "Good job baby."

Ryoki's pov

I stay at the hospital, insisting. I'm not about to leave Kari with that idiot. He had brought her some manga, so she sits between us on the hospital bed reading.

"Azusa, can you get me some soda?" She says looking at him. "Please."

"Sure." He gives her a wink, and leaves. She puts her book down, and faces me.

"Ryo, I didn't make Hatsumi mad at you did I? I feel like its all my fault that the wedding was.."

"Its not canceled." I interrupt her. "In fact, we've moved it to in a month."

"Really?"

"Ya. We figured it'd be better if it wasn't too big a thing."

"Yay! Thank God." She sighs relieved.

"Why?"

"Then I won't be too fat for a dress." She smiles. "I'm invited aren't I?"

"Ya. Hatsumi's pretty pissed off though. I didn't tell her about you moving in with Azusa."

"Well its none of her damn business! I mean she told me I was always hiding in your shadow or something like that." Kari frowns and Azusa walks in.

"I called Rina, we're moving the shoots till next week." He smiles at Kari, and she blushes.

Just try something Azusa, you hurt her and I'll...

"You didn't have to. Your just starting out again. You go call her and tell her not to bother."

"I'm not going to leave you alone? Remember what..."

"I know what happened Azusa, I'm the one with the bump on my head. I'll be careful. In fact I'm working a shift at Ryoki's store aren't I?"

Azusa and Kari look at me, and I nod. God, why didn't I go with Hatsumi and Mizuku?

A/N----Yes a good chapter indeed. I'm so proud of myself. hugs self Yay. My bookstore finally got in the ninth hot gimmick, and I was all giggly and crying, and I'm so pathetic. sighs. If you haven't read it you really should. I don't see much I could use in this fic though, but it makes me sad for Shinogu. Oh and also, if you can tell me who is the biggest hypocrite in my fic, you win a ribbon! Yay!

Hint for next chapter...

"Its beautiful." Hatsumi smiles. I roll my eyes. I feel like a balloon and I'm not even that far along yet...

Reviews–

the littlest weasley—Yes, her biting him was so funny. The Sailor Moon things I try to make easy to understand. I mean Sailor moon goes around saving people with her moon powers. Easy to get for those who don't know her, and lovable for those of us who do.

Ryoki lover----Yes, they are back together. Yay. I'm still laughing at the thought of Mizuku biting him, Ryoki was probably super proud of her. Hatsumi sure was.

Jenbo----Thanks, I'm so glad I have such loyal fans. hugs everyone You guys are really what keeps me going on this fic. Poor Shinogu he isn't having much luck lately...

Bob the brick—Thanks 4 reminding me about the wedding, I competely forgot. slaps self in head Thanks 4 reminding me, here's a blue ribbon.
