Chapter Five:
Epilogue
Sweat beaded on her forehead as her bangs stuck to her skin as she panted, trying to regain her breath. Her eyes were tender as she looked at the child being handed to her.
The door opened slowly, as if the people opening it were unsure of whether their presence was allowed or not. When the oak finally opened completely, the queen looked up at the visitors, who happened to be her four closest friends and her husband. The crown on top of her head glistened as brightly as the crystal structure they were in.
"It's a girl." Mamrou's face lit up as he walked over to the bed and clasped his wife's warm hand in his own. He kissed her head, where the moon symbol was. She looked up at him with bright eyes.
"Congratulations!" The four girls cheered happily. Each of the four girls were wearing their own colored sailor fuku's.
"Do you think Michiru and Haruka know about it?" Usagi smiled and closed her eyes, nodding as she placed a hand over her heart.
Minako chuckled at Makoto's question, "Of course!" She added after Usagi had stated her own, "They're senshi—we're all connected."
"It's the birth of a new star, a new senshi." Usagi bit back tears of happiness as she nodded, sniffling slightly as she cradled the tiny child in her arms.
Touching the young child's head lightly, she smiled when she saw a crescent moon glow beneath her fingers. "What's her name going to be?" Ami questioned as she looked at the girl in their Queen's arms that stared back at them.
"Hi, little one." Makoto said as she gently took the small baby's hand in her own. A hand wrapped around her finger and the Jupiter senshi's face lit up.
"She's beautiful." Rei whispered with a smile on her face. They all knew how much their Queen had wanted a child of her own. Now, she was glowing with happiness and pride.
"Her name is going to be… Rini." She smiled tenderly down at the baby in her arms that yawned loudly and then snuggled into her arms and the cloth wrapping around her small form.
"Rini?"
Nodding, the Queen whispered, "Rini…my little Chibi-Usa…"
