Serenity spent most the next day resting in bed. Endymion tried to stay but Serenity pushed him to go spend time with his mother and enjoy this little getaway from earth and duty for the time being. As the day went on soon all the Senshi were in the room with her bringing trays of sweets that Lita no doubt helped make.
"Ladies, we do have some business to discuss while we are all here together." Serenity said softly trying her best to be assertive to show the seriousness in the conversation they needed to have.
All the women quieted, sitting on the floor surrounded by pillows and blankets the balcony doors open letting in the artificial breeze the silver crystal created. Serenity would admit on moments like this she did miss the breezes on earth.
"This is about the weddings isn't it?" Mina asked her face void of emotion as she sipped the red wine out of her cup.
"I know you all don't want it. I didn't get to choose who I married, you all can choose at least between these four men, and amongst yourself."
Serenity looked around at her best friends, her protectors trying to read their faces. Ami, as usual was calm her fingers fiddling with the edges of the book she had been reading. Lita crossed her arms across her chest her eyebrows creasing in thought as she leaned back against the pillows. Mina was the image of a perfect leader and soldier still her face void of any emotion still, except serenity could see her eyes shifted slightly in realization of the topic.
"That doesn't make it better." Rei snapped her body tense her violet eyes set ablaze with fire and anger.
"Malachite." Mina whispered resting her hand on Reis shoulder to keep her from getting up and moving. "Malachite and I have discussed it, the leaders of the guards together would be a good match as well as good breeding." Mina's voice wavered ever so slightly.
"Just like that you made the decision how are you okay with this!" Rei burst jerking her body away from her.
"Rei. We were born to do a duty protect the princess and the only way we can do that is by making sure we will always live around her. If we don't do this eventually we will have to marry off to other men, away from Serenity and her baby. This is our job, this is what we trained for and were raised to do. As well as continue to have more protectors for her children."
Serenity couldn't understand how Mina was always so calm about these things. She never outwardly questioned her duty, even when they were young and first came to live on the moon. Rei however was always stubborn wanting to do what she wanted and not live by someone else's rules, not really a attitude a princess should have however Mars women were known for their temper but also their loyalty. Lita and Ami nodded in a silent agreement with Minas words.
"That's decided then, Lita I am going to assume you prefer Nephrite?" Serenity said slyly as the brunettes face turned a bright pink.
"He does fascinate me." she muttered trying to cover up the blush on her face with her hands.
"Fascinates your mouth and hands." Rei muttered rolling her eyes.
Amis face flushed at the comment always being the more modest on of the four Senshi.
That was when the moon princess started laughing so hard her stomach hurt. The others soon followed in the serious atmosphere lightening as they all giggled.
"Then that just leaves you two;" serenity glanced at Rei and Ami "Then Zoicite, and Jadeite."
"Ami should marry Zoicite. They are the smart and if we are doing this for breeding they will proudly create a super genius." Rei muttered her eyes looking f=down at the ground as she picked at imaginary fibers on her dress.
"Then Jadeite for you?" Serenity frowned knowing how hard this was for her friends.
Rei nodded ever so slightly but not saying anything after that. The room felt heavy again as the girls sat there silently for longer then they have ever have. Serenity's mind wondered to the future, she saw all the Senshi and their new husbands. Mina holding blonde twin babies, Ami's stomach round and ready to pop under her blue dress Zoicite behind her supporting her back. Malachite and Endymion standing off talking watching, Lita sitting with Nephrite eating food, her tight light green dress showing the slightest bump as a little boy played next to them with another little girl with onyx hair her dress a dark red. Serenity then saw Rei standing by the river a little girl in pig tail with pink hair next to her as she looked around as always alert for any danger. Jadeite was leaning against a tree keeping his eye on Rei as well as the little girl that was playing with who Serenity assumed was Lita's son.
Lifting her hand Serenity felt her stomach which was also well rounded like Ami's. Her eyes traveled again to the little pink headed girl laughing with Rei and she knew that was her daughter, looking to Endymion he smiled at her and her face smiled back in reflex. They were pregnant again. All of them would be okay.
"Serenity?" Ami said pulling Serenity from the vision of the future. "Are you okay?"
"Oh yes, just thinking of what the future holds and I think this will all work out okay. I appreciate all that you girls and Endy's guard does for us."
After the girls spent the rest of the day just talking like they used to, mina and lita blushing whenever someone commented on their secret meetings with Malachite and Nephrite. Soon all the food was gone and the girls were all ready to sleep as darkness started to come.
As Endymion came in the room all the girls got up and started leaving. Endymion laughed as he helped his pregnant wife off the floor holding her so she didn't put to much pressure on her still sore ankle.
"I had a vision today. At least that's what I think it was."
"About?" Endymion whispered helping her settle into bed kissing her neck sofly smiling when she giggled.
"The future, our babies the girls, the guard and their babies. We are all going to be okay."
"Babies?" Endymion whispered his hand going to her belly.
"There is only one in there. A girl with pink hair and a beautiful smile. We have another after her."
A smile that overtook his face with a chuckle "A girl." he muttered leaning down and kissing her belly through her thin dress.
"The girls decided on who to marry." she whispered and he hummed in response.
"Malachite told me that they are letting the girls choose, they don't want to make it more complicated then it already is."
Before Serenity could say anything else there was pounding on the door.
"Endymion open up its urgent!" Malachite's voice sounded from behind the door. Endymion covered Serenity with a blanket and stood throwing the door open.
"Someone tried to attack the palace on earth we have to go. The council is calling an emergency meeting they want everyone including you and the Queen in attendance."
"Let us dress and we will be out." Endymion said shutting the door not letting him respond.
Serenity was up as quick as she could and limped her way to her closet pulling out her warmer dress and cloak since earth was still in its winter season. Endymion helped her get dressed in her layers before he started to put his clothes and armor on. Looking over he saw Serenity leaning on the wall, walking over to her he kneeled taking her injured ankle in his hands before they glowed.
"Endymion no, you need-"
"You cant go into a council meeting limping. Especially after coming from here they will think something happened. Don't forget a crown." he mumbled as he glanced over to where they kept the boxes them.
When Endymion stood his balance wavered a bit before he stood straight letting out a breath.
"Thank you." she walked over to the boxes opening the lids taking Endymion's crown first holding it and placing it on his head. "My king." she whispered as their eyes locked
"It'll be okay. I'm sure it is just a radical." he whispered tucking her loose hair behind her ear before reaching over and picking up her crown placing it on her head. "My queen." he said softly before leaning down and kissing her all the urgency leaving their bodies as they got lost in the kiss.
"My King!" a pounding sounded on the door again and they jumped apart startled Serenity's face flushing as Endymion opened the door.
"We are ready." he said as he stood to his full height, Serenity never noticed how intimidating he could be, to her he was always gentle even when they fought she was never afraid of him.
As they made their way to the teleport they were joined by the guard and the Senshi. Serenity's heart pounded as they walked quickly everyone was serious and
Serenity was getting the idea that this was much more serious then what Endymion made it out to be.
