AN: Whoa, betcha didn't expect to see me for a while. Well I'll tell ya the truth; I didn't expect to write this anytime soon. As you probably knew this story was on a brief yet powerful hiatus due to a lack of inspiration and extreme writers block. But you never know what you'll expect when you go back and read your stories. So I got an Idea and went with it. I think it came out rather well. So, I don't wanna blab on for too long so I'll just say:

Thank you all for the reviews, and I promise if I get some good feedback and inspiration I'll have a chapter up as soon as I can. Thank you readers!

"What?" I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Mamoru Chiba was the prestigious doctor that I was supposed to work with. I was supposed to be off of the map, supposed to stay as far away from the man as I could, for the sake of the woman I loved. Now because of an off chance, I was going to see my Ex-best friend again.

I had promised Usagi that I wouldn't keep in contact with him now that I was with her. It didn't totally matter that that was what she wanted. I would do anything for her. But how was I going to hide the fact that I was seeing the woman that he had wronged and left pregnant and broken hearted? This guy that I had known since I was in grade school, that I didn't even think was capable of hurting someone that much…was my new co-worker.

Yay me!

How was I going to tell Usa that he was in the city? That I was working in the same hospital as he was…that we were partners? What about the twins he knew nothing about? I was scared, he couldn't know about any of them.

"Dr. Furuhatta to the front desk." Sighing inwardly I headed to the receptionist desk at the front of the hospital. My eyes fell on the beautiful goddess with a duel carriage that two angels occupied. Sweeping her up into a breath taking kiss, she giggled joyfully.

"Wow, I should come by more often!" She mused smiling cutely. I grinned as she offered me my forgotten lunch. Tossing it to Marge behind the counter I grabbed her hand and looked over my shoulder at the receptionist.

"I'm taking my break…be back in an hour or so." She nodded and waved goodbye to us. Heading out to Usagi's car the four of us piled in and made our way to the nearest restaurant.

"So my lunch wasn't good enough for you, Motoki?" I smiled sheepishly.

"No, I just thought it would be nice to go out for once." She smiled back and grabbed my hand.

"Well, I'm not complaining." Driving along in a peaceful silence she leaned her head on my shoulder, dark colored hair falling out of place.

Arriving shortly after she stepped out of the car and we each grabbed one of the twins. Putting them in their duel carriage stroller we headed inside. We were seated instantly and handed our menus. After we ordered our drinks we sat in a comfortable silence.

A million thoughts ran through my head. I still didn't know if it was right to tell her although I knew she had a right to know. It was her life that would be left in the wide open. And although the physical change on the outside would keep him from noticing her on the street I would think after a while something would slip and be lost among her hidden secrets. I didn't want that to happen, I loved her to much to see her go through that.

Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a child crying. I watched as Usagi leaned over little Andrew and picked him up from his seat in the stroller. She took on a motherly tone as she tried to pacify his cries. Within minutes the infant, I had come to love as my son, was fast asleep in his mothers arms. Little Chibi-Usa hadn't even stirred from her seat next to Andrew's. I laughed as she pouted her bottom lip for some of her mother's attention. I stood up and lifted her up from her seat. Holding her to my chest I watched as she grabbed my pinky and held on to it tight.

How could you not love something so perfect?

And to think a year and a half ago I was with a woman that didn't even want children. Boy what a change from the original plan. Some would ask me why I was with a woman that already had kids. At first I didn't know how to answer. I won't lie that it had started out as a pity case. This beautiful woman, all alone, I didn't want it to seem like we weren't getting closer as the days passed. Soon friendship became more empowering, and I learned to love someone again, despite the fact that she used to love another. I loved her kids too. I couldn't imagine not having them in my life. I guess that makes me love them so much. I almost died the day Usagi asked me if I would be the model father in their lives. I agreed hesitantly, but know I don't why I didn't just jump into it all.

I'm the father in these children's life; Mamoru can never take that place.

We placed the twins back in the stroller as our food arrived. Eating in a peaceful, not in the least awkward silence, we just enjoyed our time together, content and happy.

On the ride home, we spoke briefly of Usagi's career. She was a singer, an amazing one at that. She deserved to have all she wanted back, and if she wanted to start work again I would not deny it from her. During the pregnancy all she did was write and sing, never showing her face on stage. The world knew 'Serena' was pregnant, the father her Ex-boyfriend who had skipped out of her life. But the media tended to create horrible rumors that could damage any career.

She just fought back to them all. It didn't matter that her children were, at the time, fatherless. She was a role-model because of her voice and her inspiring words, and nothing more. When they all heard about the delivery, I naturally came up as the father, being seen around the star for the months before and after they were born. I didn't mind though, after realizing my love for Usagi, and my love for the twins, I happily became the father that was in their lives.

Reaching the hospital grounds, I kissed Usa briefly before I was bombarded by the hospital staff. She drove off and I walked back inside.

"Dr. Furuhatta, the new doctor that you are supposed to work with had arrived early, would you like to meet him? He's up in the conference room, being told about the case." Marge always knew when to be killjoy. I nodded mutely and made my way up to the conference room upstairs.

The elevator ride seemed like the longest ride in my life. I breathed in and out slowly knowing if her hadn't been notified on who he was working with as of yet, I might be able to sneak out through the roof.

Finally the doors opened and I headed out into the silent halls. I made my way to the far end of the hallway, knowing exactly what was in store for me when I opened them.

'Don't be a chicken' I told myself. Placing my palm on the doorknob I twisted and walked in casually.

"Ahh, here he his…"

"Motoki?"

My life was going great, and there was know way in hell I was going to let Mamoru Chiba come in and ruin it.

I think it turned out pretty good, thank you all and don't forget to review!
