The relief to be home was masked by the tense atmosphere as they walked through the palace halls. Serenity was afraid to admit that this part of the castle she had never actually been in. Trying to remain as calm as the others, the feeling of her long hair brushing the back of her neck was driving her crazy, she had forgotten to put it up. The other girls walked beside her as they walked behind the men Malachite talking saying someone had bombed the east gate, they caught or killed anyone who made it through but they did make it into parts of the castle before anyone was noticed, since the east gate was farther away and hidden behind trees.
"Serenity." Endymion's voice shocked her as she looked up and realized they had stopped in front of the door "Are you okay?"
"Yes." she nodded her head as she took his arm and gestured to the door.
As they entered the room the talking suddenly stopped and Serenity was surprised to see holograms of the other planets rulers 'sitting' in chairs as well as the old men she remembered seeing on her wedding night. Her blood ran cold with how they eyed her their eyes lingering on her stomach which was obviously showing the baby bump. They all bowed their heads whispers of 'milord' and 'milady' through out the room as Endymion gestured for them all to sit as we took our seats at the long table. It was dark besides the moon light and candles lighting the room. Silence hung in the room like a thick fog, Serenity quickly removed her cloak and pulling her hair to the side so that it would be off the back of her neck.
"Explain what happened." Endymion said his voice stern sending more chills through Serenity's body.
"The guard that was left here while you were away noticed smoke on the east wall, by the time they got there a group of people had breached the wall chanting "down with the silver millennium" luckily for us there was no casualties on our side."
"how many on theirs?" Endymion asked
"twenty dead, four wounded, I am sure some escaped."
"Twenty? that's horrible." Serenity muttered frowning. Endymion reached over and squeezed her hand.
"It was either them or us my queen." Another old man said harshly cause Serenity to frown and sit straighter in her chair her hand squeezing her husbands. Endymion felt her energy surge around him.
"I would rather it be no one. Death is horrible no matter who it is." she said her voice louder then Endymion had ever heard it before. The fierceness in the look on her face made him smile slightly at how beautiful it made her.
"How naive." the man snarled "death happens in war. Don't be daft and think it wont."
Before anyone knew what was happening Nephrite had the old man out of his chair holding his hand on his neck the mans face turning red as he started to lack oxygen.
"Who are you to speak to your Queen that way? Do you not value your life?" he asked harshly as Endymion stood motioning for his other guard and Senshi to stand still and not move.
"Nephrite. Enough." he said firmly as nephrite looked back at him dropping the man who fell to the ground huffing air.
"Sorry, My King." Nephrite mumbled then stepped back into line with the rest of his guard his eyes searching the room and finding Lita who gave him a small smile saying she appreciated him standing up for their Queen.
"Sir Reginald." Endymion spoke as the man stood slowly "You shouldn't speak down to your Queen. Many frown upon it, myself included." he scowled and then gestured for the man to sit again who nodded and sat.
"Now back to the matter at hand." Endymion said looking over the table "There have been attacks on your planets as well."
"All except the moon. Same as on earth groups of people attacking palaces or royalty." Queen Serenity's hologram spoke. Serenity had been so anxious about the meeting she didn't even notice her mother was even present in the meeting. Immediately she felt bad for not saying bye, she also realized they had left Endymion's mother on the moon.
"So this could very well be the start pf a war then?" Endymion frowned "Well we each have men captured they will be interrogated. As for the men who were killed we will find their families and pay for them to all have a funeral and burial. Our people will know that even if they were traitors the crown still sees them as our people."
The room erupted with protests the men arguing against giving traitors something they do not deserve. Endymion held up his hand silencing the noise, as his other hand pulled serenity to her feet.
"Queen Serenity is right, death is terrible doesn't matter who's side they were on. Their families deserve the closure. Now, My pregnant wife and I are tired, and we will be retiring for the rest of the evening."
With that being said the King and Queen of earth left the room their Senshi and guard following until Endymion stopped suddenly.
"Malachite, Mina, stay behind please make sure they don't try and plan anything they do not wish us to know." he said as the two soldier nodded and walked back into the room. "Nephrite, thank you for what you did, if you hadn't handled Sir Reginald I would have and I am not sure he would be alive."
"She is my Queen, he disrespect was disgusting." Nephrite said in a monotone voice but Serenity could see his eyes held a fire, these men were just as loyal as her Senshi.
They walked the rest of the way to their chambers silently the Senshi and guard following. Even Endymion was on full alert as they walked through the only sound being the sound of their shoes hitting the marble floor and echoing off the walls.
"We are going to take shifts guarding just until we know there is no one loose running around the castle." Rei said taking over the leader role since mina was gone.
"Is that necessary? You all must be just as tired as us you don't ha-"
"With all due respect we do have to. Someone could still be wondering around here waiting for you two to be home and waiting for you to be alone, like months ago." Rei snapped her face hard as stone.
Serenity frowned then nodded as Endymion opened the door and they walked into their room. They changed into their night clothes silently. Endymion making sure to close their curtains in front of the balcony doors as well as making sure they were closed and locked. As the settled into bed Serenity sighed staring up at the canopy.
"Is this the start of a war then?" she whispered as Endymion let out a breath of air.
"Could just be radicals. People who don't approve of the silver millennium, until we find proof that there is a bigger thing behind this then no it isn't a war."
"You will have to go to war wont you? Kings always go with their armies." she mumbled looking over at him.
"Usually yes. We haven't gotten their yet so until we are don't let it worry you."
Reaching over he caressed her stomach before they soon both drifted into a deep sleep not waking until late the next day. When Serenity woke up the smell drifting in from her balcony made her stomach churned. Slowly getting up out of bed she looked out the windows and saw the remnants of smoke coming from the garden. Gasping she walked out the open doors and could see Endymion with Malachite as well as his mother standing in the grass as the other workers saved what they could of the garden. The snow that was laying on the ground was melted leaving chard earth underneath.
"Serenity?" the bedroom door opened and Ami's voice drifted in.
"What happened?" Serenity whispered as Ami ushered her back inside just as Rei came through the bedroom door with some food.
"Someone set the gardens on fire. No one was caught and luckily Endymion woke when he did or it could've been worse." Ami sighed pulling Serenity's hair into her signature buns.
"There's a war coming. We are taking you back to the moon and Endymion is staying here to oversea everything."
"What no!" Serenity yelled at Rei who crossed her now empty arms the food sitting on the bed beside where Serenity and Ami had sat.
"This is not up for debate. Your mother and Endymion decided it is safer on the moon for you and the baby, until earth gets this under control."
Rei words cut into her like a knife. Endymion wanted her to go home, he didn't want her here. With a small nod of her head serenity slowly started eating before she stood going to her closet grabbing her warm clothes and dressing. Just as she pulled on her cloak Endymion walked in.
"Ladies." he nodded his head and Ami and Rei gave a slight bow before they stepped out of the room. Serenity kept her eyes down her throat tight with emotion.
"Sere?" Endymion whispered as he walked over to her taking her chin between his thumb and index finger lifting her face to see her eyes. "Don't be sad please." he whispered his voice cracking.
"We only just came home, I do not want to leave again." a tear slipped out of her eye "Leave you here."
"Sere, please don't cry." he pulled her into a hug kissing the top of her head softly "They were so close to us last night Sere, if the earth hadn't warned me in my dreams we very well might not be here. Someone in this castle is betraying us that's the only way they could get this close."
Serenity pulled back looking up at him a deep frown on her face.
"Endymion its dangerous for you too, what if next time you're here alone and they get to you what then? I cant rule two planets on my own. I cant lose you."
"You carry our heir Sere, you need to be somewhere where there is no chance of you being attacked at least until she is born."
"That's six or seven months!" Serenity backed away from him "and I will miss the Christmas celebration next month."
"This is more important then a Christmas celebration! We are talking about people coming after you and our Daughter." Endymion yelled his face and body getting tense his fist clenching at his side.
"What if you miss her birth then? What if you die." Serenity yelled back her body shaking tears in her eyes "Earth is going think I am running away how good would that look?"
Endymion let out a frustrated scream as he turned and punched the second wall in three days his already injured hand now cracking another brick wall as he turned clutching his hand and sliding down the wall to the floor.
Serenity's body froze as she looked from the cracked brick to her husband now on the floor. She had seen the crack in the room on the moon but never imagined it was Endymion. Removing her cloak and tossing it to the bed she walked over to him kneeling down in front of him placing a hand on his knee causing him to look up at her quickly.
"You stay with me at all times. That means every meeting, everything. you do not leave my sight." he whispered to her his voice low and cracking.
"If that's what it takes for me to stay." she whispered back.
Leaning closer her he kissed her deeply before his hands started finding the buttons on her dress and soon hers were removing his clothes as well. Before they could get all their clothes off Endymion growled about all the layers he picked her up careful of her belly her legs going around his waist kissing her again as he leaned her against the wall.
"You are so beautiful." he whispered his lips against her throat causing a moan to pass her lips and her hands to find his hair holding him in place.
"Endymion please."
Serenity couldn't believe the feeling rushing through her body. This was nothing like there wedding night, even other nights they had laid together she never felt like this. Like she needed him inside her. Just as that thought crossed her mind Endymion groaned against her neck as he slid inside her. A loud moan almost scream left her and Endymion froze.
"Are you okay?" he almost cursed himself, he hadn't even thought that this would be to much for her.
"Please." her voice was soft and shy his eyes almost rolling back into his head when she moved slightly and her hands sunk deeper into his hair her nails finding his scalp. "don't stop."
He nodded going back to kissing her neck moving in and out of her at a slow steady pace, again trying to stay slow. Soon they were moving together both moaning sweat dripping despise the cold air in the castle. Serenity felt something building she had never felt before. Her back arched off the wall her toes curling as the pressure in her core coiled like a loaded spring before it burst causing her to open her mouth in a silent scream as her body shook in the aftermath. Endymion felt her clench around him before he too burst spurting his seed inside her slowly stumbling back to the bed sitting her down before laying down himself.
"That's how it should've been the first time." he whispered breathless
Serenity shivered at the huskiness in his voice.
"Well lets just be sure to keep it this way from now on then." she whispered
