Chapter Two:

And the World Came Crashing Down

The doctor pushed his glasses up more towards the bridge of his nose as he stared at the five people; four girls that had burst into the room and a man who had ridden with her to the hospital from the shooting area. It was tragic—that things like this happened. It would be in the news tonight and on the paper tomorrow—eight dead and twenty injured. Actually, it was nine including the gunman himself.

"How is she, doctor?" A blonde-haired girl with blue eyes that reminded him of the patient (minus the odd hairdo his patient had) questioned with worry-filled eyes.

The older man stood still in his spot, not even shuffling his feet a bit, "She's doing fine. Currently, what she needs in bed rest." The dark-haired boy let out the sigh of relief he realized he was holding.

"Is that all?" A woman with long dark hair and purplish colored eyes stared at him, wearing what looked like a miko's outfit.

"No." The group all visibly stiffened with his words and Ami looked fearfully at each of them, somehow getting a feeling of dread. "We had to put stitches in the wound. She'll have to come back in, oh say, three weeks to have them removed."

"What else?" Makoto all but growled as she clenched her fists at the older man. She knew he was hiding something from Usagi and all of them.

Hesitating for a moment, the doctor confessed, "Because of the wound, there's now a little to none chance of pregnancy."

The group looked like another world war had just started. Their eyes were wide and Mamoru was sure his breathing had stopped for an instant, the doctor's words repeating in his mind like a record player.

Little to no chance of a pregnancy.

"T-that can't be possible!" Minako said with wide blue eyes that were shimmering with unshed tears for her 'sister'. She had known how excited Usa had been about the fact of having a child, even if she always insisted that she hated Chibi-Usa, she was growing up into a perfect motherly figure.

"Yeah!" Rei protested, 'what about Chibi-Usa?' was her unspoken words.

"H-" Mamoru paused for a moment to regain himself, "Have you talked to her about this yet?"

Shaking his head, the doctor replied softly, "No." He lowered his clipboard with information on his patient and looked at the man, "I thought it would be better if you did."

Shakily nodding his head, Mamoru took a deep breath, "Can we see her?"

"Yes," he pointed towards a door down the hall, "121—to the left. She should be awake by now."

"Thank you." Ami whispered as politely as she could, knowing it wasn't the doctor who they should place their blame and accusations on.

Usagi looked up when she heard the door open and smiled as she saw her four friends forever and her fiancé. "Hey, guys!" She happily said, upper torso propped up somewhat by pillows. The nurses and doctors told her not to get up so she wouldn't stress her wound.

"Hey Usa." Ami greeted, speaking the words for all over them as she forced herself to be strong for their leader of the group, of the former senshi.

Frowning when the blonde realized that the words were all fake, she frowned, "What's wrong everyone?"

Mamoru took a deep breath, walking forward to see the worry in his baby's eyes that he wished he would make disappear. "Usa, baby," She looked at him as he took her hand in his, "The doctor told us some news."

She looked at him, "What?" A growing dread was filling her, telling her that whatever it was would shatter her world.

Choking back his pain, knowing this would hurt her more than any others, he whispered lightly to her, "There's little to no chance that you'll ever get pregnant because of the wound."

She stared at him in silence for a minute before looking at him with teary eyes, "Y-you're joking," laughing nervously, she added, "Right?"

Lifting up her head to look each of her friends in the eye, she saw the same sadness and grief for her. She choked back as sob, tears rolling down her face, "No…" She whispered, "I want to be a mother…" Sobbing, she let Mamoru hold her to try and ease away the empty hollow pit growing in her.

"What about Chibi-Usa!" She sobbed, "What about my baby?"

Mamoru had no answers for her, so he continued to hold her as she sobbed her heart out.
