When Serenity woke up the next morning she was surprised to see Endymion working on something at his desk in the corner of the room. Slowly she approached him wrapping her arms around his neck then frowning when she saw he seemed to be working on wedding plans.
"What's all this?" she asked as she took a seat next to him.
Endymion smiled taking her hand and kissing it softly "Malachite came when you fell asleep last night. Told me some shocking news about Mina and himself."
Serenity frowned looking over at all the paperwork on the desk trying to find a clue as to what he could be talking about.
"He and Mina are with child."
A gasp left her mouth as her wide eyes made contact with his worried ones.
"They are sure?" she whispered
"The healer seems to think she is about two months along. So I have decided it is time for them to Wed." Endymion said it in a tone that said no questions asked.
Serenity nodded agreeing with him her hand rubbing her twelve week baby bump. Mentally she did the math and realized that Mina had gotten pregnant almost right after her.
"I did not realize they had been in relations for so long." she mumbled
Giving her a nod Endymion sighed "I feel like we are always traveling but as it is custom we are going to go to where Malachite is from for the wedding. The council approve and Mother has agreed to stay and watch over things while we are gone."
"I must pack then." Serenity stood but before she could get to far Endymion grabbed her hand. She frowned at the serious look on his face "Endy?"
"Sere, I need you to know how important it is to tell no one about Mina's condition. People on earth will shun her, she will lose all status possibly even be sent away if people hear about this. When it gets close to the time for her to birth the baby she will have to go to the moon for awhile to avoid any suspicions about when the baby was born since it will be here earlier then people were told."
Serenity didn't understand some of the earth customs. Though it wasn't very common the moon didn't pay any mind to how a child was created or when. They excepted the baby and mother as always. To her this was cruel to punish someone for loving another. Though it made he blush thinking of Mina and Malachite doing what she and Endymion spent all of yesterday doing. With a nod of her head to show she understood Endymion released her hand going back to signing more paperwork and writing what seemed to be an agenda for his mother. As she walked over to the wardrobe where her dresses would usually be she saw the already packed trunk of clothes as well as one of her more royal gowns hanging as well as her thick golden cloak. Dressing slowly she noticed the jewels sitting out on the vanity as well that matched and went over sitting down she started her hair then sighed.
"Sere?" Endymion asked causing her to look at him.
"I know this is silly but I am afraid my usual hairstyle will draw to much attention to us." she frowned remembering how when she was new here the people who wanted to harm her. Who almost killed her because of where she was born.
"Your Lunarian do not hide it, our people know who you are. Most love and respect you already." he smiled at her "I want to show off my Lunarian Wife, besides its rumored Malachite's family is originally Lunarian."
"Really?" she frowned thinking of how though Malachite was tan like Endymion his blue eyes and white hair was very Lunarian.
"Never confirmed but I highly doubt we will run into any issues on the way there or while we are there. They will probably worship you more then I do." he winked at her causing her to blush before she turned back to the mirror quickly doing the two buns in her hair before adding all the jewelry which she now realized was from her home and not the earth jewels she usually wore.
The journey was four days traveling almost non-stop besides bathroom breaks and to stretch. Malachite and Mina rode in the same carriage as they did though the silence between all of them was tense. The other Senshi and guard rode in a separate carriage and then another carriage for all their clothes which serenity could believe how much they brought. Endymion said though he didn't want to stay to long it was considered rude to just come and go even as King. The closer they got to Malachite's family's home the colder the air seemed to get around them. A shiver wracked her body as she tucked her gloved hands further into the fur hand wrap she had on her lap.
Malachite let out a chuckle "I am from higher up in the mountains. This time of year it can get very cold I apologize if you are uncomfortable."
"No don't apologize, just something to get used to." she looked out at the falling snow "It is beautiful here, all the wilderness and snow."
"Yes, my family tried to preserve most of the wild here, it's a small village and a castle not nearly as big as the Royal Palace of course but decently sized. With man fireplaces." Malachite said when he noticed Serenity and Mina both shiver again.
Going through the town Serenity was surprised to see all the people who welcomed them children running after the carriages smiling as if it were a game, people cheering and offering them free food and other items which Serenity politely declined.
"I told you that you being here would be something they enjoyed. Endymion chucked as they pulled up to the palace. As the doors opened Serenity was shocked to see a women who resembled her mother. Long white hair fell down her back though she still had two buns on top her head. The man next to her had brown hair with tan skin like Malachite. As they exited they man and women bowed.
"Please Sir James, Lady Maya no need to be so formal." Endymion smiled at them and they smiled back Lady Maya immediately going up and hugging the earth king.
"How you have grown Endymion, your father would be so proud just as I know your mother is shame she could not come."
"She sends you her best. Lady Maya, Sir James I would like you to meet my wife Queen Serenity." he motioned towards Serenity who smiled in return giving her head a nod at the two.
"It is an honor to have you here My Queen." James said and bowed deeper again.
"Yes we are excited to hear stories of the moon. It has been to long since a true Lunarian has lived here with us."
"I cannot wait, of course after we celebrate the Marriage of your Son and My Senshi." as the word left Serenity's mouth Mayas eyes wondered to her son and Mina standing behind the King and queen who stepped aside so she could greet them.
"I never thought I would see the day." she smiled and hugged her son who stiffened under the affection. Mina giggled and smiled as Maya then approached her hugging her as well. "So nice to finally meet you Mina I have heard a lot from my sons letters." she winked
Serenity could see that Malachite had his fathers personality, very formal and silent where his mother reminded her of Irene, open and friendly.
"Where are my siblings?" Malachite asked
"They will be here for dinner, your older sister is with the event planners getting everything ready for the wedding already. She has taken to learning the ropes to leading very well. Who knows where your younger brother is probably wooing women in the village much to your fathers dismay."
As they walked into the palace Serenity was happy to feel the warmth come over her body. She was shocked to see the palace was decorated much like her palace at home. Tall pillars the halls covered in portraits of what she assumed was generations of Malachite's family.
"Endymion said that your family is Lunarian." Serenity said suddenly when she saw all the people in the pictures with the white hair and blue eyes.
"Yes, he was just a common villager on the moon, when he traveled here he fell in love with a women. Simple story back then Lunarian's were gods and goddesses, even just a villager from the moon was worshipped here on earth, so when he wanted to marry a nobles daughter it wasn't questioned. A lot of our heritage comes from the moon, as well as some of us blessed with the features." she laughed tugging on her long hair "Of course many forget its been so long since it happened and though we support the moon and the Silver Millennium we try not to brag about our heritage. The earth isn't as accepting as it once was. We learned that the hard way." Lady Mayas eyes darkened as she continued walking.
As they got settled in their room Serenity could get the look of Lady Mayas eyes out of her head. As her and Endymion sat in the warm tub him rubbing her shoulders she leaned back looking up at him.
"What did Lady Maya mean by they had learned it the hard way, she seemed so sad."
Endymion frowned letting out a sigh "I am not sure when the hatred for Lunarians started, back before I was born my mother told me it was really bad. Anyone who supported them was getting hunted and murdered. Malachite's family openly supported the Moon, but when outside villages got wind of a royal family with Lunarian blood the murders started. The village is so small now because of a massacre the occurred, they didn't care who they killed, women, children." Endymion swallowed clearing his throat "Lady Maya and Sir James lost their first son he was an infant couldn't even sit himself up."
Serenity's eyes filled with tears "that's terrible."
"We are afraid its starting again. I wouldn't trade marrying you for this world, or any but it did trigger events that are much like the last time. Of course we are more aware and vigilant now and unlike my father I am not ignorant to the needs of my people. Most respect my mother and I to much to repeat history."
Serenity turned startling her husband blushing at her own boldness as she kiss him letting his hand travel around her body before pushing her down on his member causing hr to cry out in pleasure.
"You cant be as loud here my love, our room is closer to the others." he mumbled holding back from moving.
Serenity nodded her head as she shifted her wait causing another cry to leave her throat before she leaned down kissing him again as he started moving inside of her sending the bath water out over the rim of the tub and onto the floor. Before serenity knees what was happening she bit into her husbands shoulder to keep her from crying out as her toes curled and orgasm took over her body. Endymion was quick to follow suit before his body slouched back into the tub as they both tried to catch their breath.
"I promise to keep you and Little Lady safe Sere." Endymion mumbled later that night as they laid under the thick blankets his hand rubbing her belly.
"I know you will Endy." she whispered back as she drifted to sleep.
