Endymion fell asleep easily, Serenity felt his arm on her belly get heavier and his breathing deepen as she laid their awake. She knew when or if her mother used the crystal she would be able to feel it in her bones.
Soon she felt a surge of energy and saw a light glowing outside and she knew then that Irene had agreed, the light was shining from Irene's rooms windows. Serenity clutched Endymion's arm wrapping her and the babies energy around him as if to keep him from feeling whatever was going on. It didn't last to long and when it was over Serenity pulled her energy back and let out a deep breath hoping it had worked.
"Sere? Are you okay?" Endymion mumbled his eyes just cracked open, his lips pulled down into a frown.
"Yes sorry, I was just thinking guess I let my energy get a little wild." she smiled at him before turning toward him and smoothing out the concerned lines on his face and running he fingers through his midnight colored hair.
"I love you." he mumbled before drifting back to sleep.
"I love you My King." she whispered back before finally letting herself drift back into sleep as well. Her dreams ran wild with thoughts, and when she woke she hoped that she would see Endymion next to her. Of course he was no where to be found she stood and got dressed choosing to wear a very loose dress with flowing sleeves and bare feet as usual. Her dresses were all starting to become a little tighter around her breast and her ever growing belly. She quickly fixed her hair up before she walked out of her room running into the girls in the hall. Mina turned to her and crossed her arms.
"Serenity we know what you did." she said in a disapproving tone.
"Excuse me?"
"Your mother used the crystal on Irene last night, we felt the surge."
Serenity sighed "Please do not tell anyone, mother will be furious if even more people know. Even Endymion doesn't know."
With a breath of air Mina uncrossed her arms "How are we going to explain to him that his mother recovered all of a sudden? She is basically running around like a child out in the field. The guard is out there with her Endymion is at breakfast and has not seen her yet."
The smile that graced Serenity's lips was luminous, she picked up her skirts and ran towards the breakfast hall. When she burst through the door Endymion and her mother looked up in shock.
"Sere? What's wrong?" Endymion asked standing
Serenity blushed at the fact that he used her nickname in front of her mother causing the moon Queen to let out a very un-royal giggle.
"Endymion, do you mind if I borrow you for a moment?" Serenity blushed nodding her head at her mother. Endymion bowed respectively at his mother in law before rushing over to his wife a frown still gracing his features. He stayed quiet until they were out in the hall walking toward the doors to the outside.
"Sere? Is it the baby? Is something wrong?" he whispered quietly placing a hand on her back as if to support the babies weight.
"The baby and I are fine there is something you must see." she smiled up at him as they walked out into the courtyard.
Endymion almost froze when her heard the laugh of his mother and looked up to see her running around the grass as if she were twenty years younger.
"Mother?" he whispered and she turned no doubt feeling the energy of her son and daughter in law standing watching her.
"Oh Endymion, Serenity, isn't it a miracle I feel amazing! I knew the moon had healing properties but this!" she ran over to them her face flushed pink and no longer dull as if the light was gone.
"h-how?" Endymion hugged his mother tightly.
Irene looked over at Serenity and winked "must be the moon air I woke up feeling rejuvenated."
Endymion glanced at his wife and then back at his mother trying to understand how his dying mother was suddenly just fine. Before he could think to much on it he was dragged off by the two giggling women, both of them playing in the field like children. Endymion settled down into the grass to watch them, when he heard the footsteps of his and Serenity's guard behind him.
"How?' Malachite asked as he watched his old queen run around.
"I do believe the moon air is healing." Endymion replied his tone still like he was trying to hold back something.
"My king this is good. Your mother looks so happy." Mina covered quickly as she and the other girls all sat his guard following suite as if they were puppets on a string.
Endymion watched as each guard seemed to pair off with each Senshi. He took note of that for whenever he had to inform the counsel of who would wed who for the alliance they were trying to form.
Soon his mother had a canvas and paint brought out to her and she settled on a stool painting as Serenity walked over to hum sitting next to him in the grass kissing his cheek lightly causing him to flinch away from her slightly.
'Endy?" she whispered a concerned look crossing her beautiful face.
"I told you not to." he mumbled under his breath "you blatantly ignored me when I said not to."
"I-I don't know what you mean." Serenity looked away from him down at her hands in her lap.
"Moon air is not healing." he said with a sterner tone trying to make eye contact with her "I thought I could trust you that you would respect my wishes." he stood up quickly storming off back into the castle causing everyone to look over in their direction.
"Excuse us." Serenity nodded struggling to get up off the ground with her expanding belly before following after him.
When she got to their room he was silently seething on the edge of the bed staring at the ground. The young moon princess watched him as she stood in the center of the room. The air was tense, she had never felt this way with him before, he had always made her feel safe and comforted even in the beginning when it was all new and scary for her. When he finally looked up at her his eyes were hard and cold like steel it sent a chill down her spine.
"I have never in all this time we have been in this arrangement, ignored anything you have asked of me. And then you do this."
"Endy, I don't understand it worked she is better she will be here for you and our baby."
Endymion stood up suddenly running his hands through his hair pacing the floor.
"What if this doesn't last Serenity? What if in a couple days or weeks she declines again and we are back in the same boat. I had accepted it, now what get my hopes up again just to lose her and go through the pain again!"
Serenity coward back tears welling in her eyes as his voice became louder expressing how angry he was. Slowly the tears dripped down her face as she backed away from him going to the door.
"I'm sorry." she whispered before turning and running out slamming the door behind her.
"Damnit!" in a fit of rage Endymion picked up the wooden chair in the corner of the room smashing against the wall before sending his fist into it a loud crack sounded as both the wall and his hand cracked.
Serenity ran through the halls until she reached outside running down towards the water as she got closer she stepped on sharp rocks in her bare feet before finally rolling her ankle falling the ground with a scream. Sobs wracked her body as she tried to get up and then ultimately decided to just stop trying as she clutched her now swelling ankle.
"Stupid, I never listen." she cried to herself.
