She Don't Tell Me To

Haruka woke up on May 4 feeling excited and happy. It was exactly one year ago that she married Michiru.

Any other woman I know would have tired,

To control me and it would be over.

Plannin' on my goin' on my own way attitude

"Momma! Michi!" Gwendalyn said as she ran into her parent's bedroom.

Haruka sighed as she watched Michiru pull the covers over her head. It was the same every morning. "Good morning sweetie."

"Happy anniversary!"

"Thanks Gwen." Haruka said. She was glad that it was their daughter to be the first one to tell them that.

"Morning Gwen." Michiru said from underneath the covers.

Haruka smiled as she picked her daughter p and sat her on the bed. "What are you going to do today?"

"I'm going to Mako's remember?"

"Yes, I do."

"She and Ami are letting Hayden come over too."

Michiru pulled the covers off her head and said, "That sounds like fun."

"Yep, and it's a school night." Gwendalyn said. "A sleepover on a school night. It's going to be so much fun."

"And Ami's letting Hayden sleepover?" She saw Gwendalyn nod. "Well, Ami must really like you."

"Yep, she does!"

The doorbell rang and Haruka watched her daughter run out of the room. After a couple of minutes, Haruka got up and walked downstairs to see Rei.

"Good morning Rei."

"You too." Rei said. "Did Gwen just wake you up?"

"Pretty much. Thanks for taking her."

"No problem." Rei said. She truly didn't care. In fact she was happy to take Gwendalyn to school.

"Bye momma!" Gwendalyn said as she hugged her mother.

"Go tell Michi bye and then you can go."

"Ok." Gwendalyn said as she was running up the stairs.

Haruka shook her head. She was so amazed at what her daughter did. Every morning it was the same thing, and yet she seemed to forget. Haruka didn't know if it was just to annoy her or not.

"Happy anniversary!"

"Thanks."

Haruka and Rei talked for a couple more minutes before Gwendalyn came running back down the stairs. She told her mother 'bye' again and ran out the door. Only to run back inside to get her overnight backpack. Then she watched as Rei's car pulled out of the driveway.

Haruka just stood there looking at driveway. It seemed stupid, but she didn't like it when her daughter wasn't home.

"Ruka?"

Haruka didn't bother to turn around. She knew who that voice belonged to. "What?"

"It's been at least ten minutes since Gwen left."

"Oh," Haruka said. "She might need something. Maybe she forgot her lunch."

Michiru sighed. It was the same thing every time their daughter was with Rei, especially Hayden. She hated to see her wife like this, but she just had to let Haruka get it out of her system and then she would be fine. Today, though, she didn't want her to be depressed. "Baby, close the door and come back to bed."

"All right." Haruka said. She took one more look at the driveway and closed the door.

Haruka turned around to see that Michiru had already gone back to bed. So she walked up the stairs and stopped at her daughter's room. She looked in and sighed. Sometimes she wished that Gwendalyn was three years old again. Because then Gwendalyn would just want to be with her and no one else. Haruka just closed the door to her daughter's room and walked to her own room.

"Michi?" Haruka asked as she climbed in bed.

"It took you long enough. What were you doing?"

"I stopped at her room."

"Ruka," Michiru paused, "she's growing up. You know that."

"But I want her to still hang out with me all the time."

"She does." Michiru said. "Happy anniversary Ruka."

"Happy anniversary Michi."

They both laid there. Michiru was fast asleep with her head on Haruka's left shoulder. Haruka was wide awake. All she could think about was the wedding.

She could still picture Michiru in the white strapless princess gown that she wore. Haruka couldn't think of another time when Michiru looked that beautiful. Haruka also remembered that she had been scared that it would rain. Outside weddings and rain just didn't mix together.

"Ruka what are you thinking about?" Michiru sleepily asked.

"The wedding. Your dress."

"Oh." Michiru said. "I was glad that they weren't mad when we said that it would only be Gwen that walked down the isle with me."

"Me too. I was scared that there were going to be fist fights." Haruka laughed. "It wasn't like we didn't have a reason."

"I know. Do you remember what the reason was?" Michiru couldn't believe that Haruka remembered all of this.

"Yes, I remember." Haruka said smiling. "No bridesmaids or groomsmen. Only a flower girl/maid of honor. Because we decided that we couldn't just pick out one or two of the girls."

Michiru sat up and leaned against the headboard of the bed. "I can't believe that you remember."

"It was the best day of my life, well except for the day that Gwen was born." Haruka said. "But both of those days are equal."

"I know." Michiru laughed. "I still can't believe that Usagi showed up."

"It was shocking."

"I know. For her to apologize to us, especially to Gwen must have taken a lot of guts."

"Yeah, but what was she going to do? I mean she had to have known for awhile that we were right."

"Of course we we're right. We're the ones that caught him." Michiru said. "What shocks me is that Gwen still hasn't forgiven her. I mean she'll be nice to Usagi, but that's it."

"I haven't either."

"Yes, you have Ruka. At least you forgave her for yelling at us."

"So your telling me that you have completely forgiven Usagi for calling our daughter stupid?" Haruka defensively said.

"No, I haven't forgiven her for that." Michiru said. "No matter how nice she is to us, we c…"

"Michi, do you remember when we caught Gwen and Hayden dancing together?"

"No, I don't." Michiru honestly couldn't remember because those two were always dancing to something.

"I know you remember because it was at the reception. They were slow dancing together." Haruka said. It still bothered her.

"Oh, that." Michiru said. She remembered that clearly because she had to hold her wife back so that she didn't run over to them and break them apart. "They were six years old Ruka. Besides it was cute."

"No it wasn't. I want her to grow up, get married, and have a baby."

Michiru was trying so hard not to burst out laughing. "She'll grow up and get married."

"But she can't have a baby with Hayden."

"Hayden isn't your problem Ruka." Michiru stated.

"It isn't?"

"No." Michiru sighed. "Your problem is you."

"What!"

"Ruka, if Gwen decides to be with Hayden that worries you."

"Duh."

"Ruka," Michiru paused, "it worries you because you don't want your daughter to go through the same things that you did."

"What exactly would that be? She already gets picked on because of it."

"You and I know first hand how cruel the world can be." Michiru saw Haruka nod. "If she's happy then do you really care?"

"No," Haruka said. "I just want to protect from anything and everything that might hurt her."

"I know." Michiru said. "Did you like the wedding?" She had to change the subject. She was getting depressed.

"Yeah, I did. Friends and the family of our friends was just the way it should be."

"It was." Michiru said right before she deeply and passionately kissed her wife.

There you go. This chapter was really hard to write. It took me an hour to write last night and it took two hours today. So I hope it's good. Anywho… Thanks to thienmong for the idea for chapters 15 and 16. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Let me know what you thought of the chapter. Bye!
