Chapter 13

Quiet fury. Shingo knew how this felt. No one was telling him or his bride anything. Rubeus was being chastised by Setsuna in the other room. He didn't hear much, just "what the heck, how much did you tell him."

He could barely hear what Rubeus was saying apart from, "I'm so screwed, and I only said," and then it was quiet again. The only thing that was preventing Shingo from storming in there and asking what the hell was going on, was that Hotaru had a tight grip on his arm even though they were eating dinner.

His mother had been on the phone all day trying to get material for a wedding kimono for Hotaru. At this rate she was going to be up all night. Mamoru and Usagi would probably have to use their Crystals to help Ikuko make it through the day tomorrow.

Saeko came running into the house a few minutes later. "Ikuko, I found some" she panted, passing the Tsukino matriarch the material.

"Oh thank Kami," Ikuko whispered. "Thank you Saeko."

In the end, Shingo couldn't handle it. "Why do my two daughters look like Usagi?!" he detonated. The room went silent and everyone looked stunned at the reserved teen. Hotaru stood with him, wanting to know as well.

Rubeus and Setsuna came into the room. "And this is why I hate my job," she murmured. She heard Shingo's explosion.

"There are fixed points in time, things that must never be changed or be undone. You can't change it and you stop running because you know what is at stake," Setsuna spoke cryptically.

"In the future there is a battle that is nearly lost, leaving both you and Hotaru almost fatally injured. You will disappear and no one will find you but Serenity and Endymion a few weeks later. There will be a death in that time, and Hotaru and you will be relying on Serenity to have any other children. That's all I can say."

"How long are we talking until they..." Usagi closed her eyes, "how long until they disappear?"

"I don't know. My future self only gave me the information I gave you. And you will forget when the time comes."

"I'm not hungry anymore," Hotaru mumbled, pushing her plate away.

"May we be excused?" Shingo asked.

Ikuko nodded, saddened by the looks on her sons and his fiance's faces.

Zita and Angharad practically inhaled their food. "Can we go to mommy and daddy?" Angharad asked.

Usagi nodded. "Use mommy's communicator if you need any of us okay?"

The girls nodded and Angharad helped her sister out of her booster. They went to find their parents

Shingo didn't know what to do. Hotaru was almost catatonic. They heard tiny footsteps and saw their daughters standing apprehensively at the door. Shingo patted the bed and the girls ran to them. Zita wrapped herself in her mother's embrace and Angharad did the same with her father.

"It will be 'kay mommy and daddy. Kenji says we have t' show 'motions when we hurting," Zita said.

"Who's Kenji? Your grandpa is Kenji." Shingo asked.

"Onii-chan," both girls answered back at once.

Hotaru and Shingo looked surprised. "Who is mommy pregnant with?"

"We no-no, 'erything diffent," Zita replied.

Scene change

"I hope they're okay," Ronnie said softly.

"They will be. They are made of stronger stuff than even they know." Kenji put on a brave face. He was already grieving about the son he hadn't even lost yet but didn't show it to the others.

Ikuko rubbed his shoulder. "Setsuna said they do come back, Kenji. They might be changed but they do," she reassured him.

"We will let you and dad talk. We're going to go train," Usagi said, taking Mamorus hand. The others followed their lead.

Artemis came running back in a few seconds later, "Shields, shields, shields."

Luna jumped on the table "The children will be letting off the magical equivalent of a nuclear bomb, so I suggest you go down to the bunker and we can review later."

"They won't be found?" Ikuko asked worriedly.

The house and the yard are shielded, but you will still feel shudders. To anything above us the yard will just look like some young adults are having a party. Glamors are truly extraordinary."

"They really are," Kenji said, taking his wife's hand. She picked up the material, Kenji picked up his laptop, and the two went down to the bunker as Usagi threw a pissfit over the devastation that was looming over them.

Shingo and Hotaru watched the others train from the bedroom as the girls slept. "We should join them you know," Hotaru suggested.

"I think we need to sleep Firefly. We have a busy day tomorrow." Shingo kissed her forehead. Hotaru closed her eyes and settled into his embrace.

"I want to pout because you speak the truth but what death do you think Setsuna was talking about?" Hotaru said.

"I don't want to think about it tonight, love. I know it might scar us, let's just sleep tonight okay?" Shingo suggested.

Hotaru nodded and laid next to Angharad while Shingo laid next to Zita. "I love you Shingo"

"I love you too Hotaru."
