"Forever"
Christmas Eve.
The day before Christmas is usually one of the most celebrated days of the year. One filled with anticipation, last minute Christmas shopping & of course Christmas parties.
But for the leader of the Senshi, this Christmas Eve was like none she had ever experienced before.
For Minako there was no shopping or Christmas parties however there was lots of anticipation. Because she was in labor, in labor with the future leader of the future Senshi no less!
Shortly after Usagi announced her pregnancy Minako had also learned she was pregnant. Small Lady was now almost six months old and ecological disaster was on its way. Long dormant volcanoes were beginning to erupt and the weather became more erratic every day. Even the hospitals were unstable, and Minako was currently at Ami's private clinic preparing to give birth in the same bed as Usagi had. More frightening than labor for Minako was the thought of the future. In the future they knew Small Lady hadn't been born until after Crystal Tokyo had formed and there had been no mention of a child or husband for herself. What would happen to her baby during the disaster?
As the blonde felt the fresh tears coming, she also felt Kunzite grabbed her hand.
"Stop it", he said sternly as if he could read her mind. "Whatever you're worrying about stop Mina. We're in this moment right here, right now."
"Whatever happens in the future you should know I'll be right beside you, to love and protect the both of you forever."
At her soulmates tender words Minako really did cry, as her fears slowly subsided.
A few painful hours later the happy couple sat in silence and marveled over the best early Christmas present they'd ever received. The blonde tried to enjoy these silent moments as she knew their friends would demand entry soon. As she handed the tiny pink bundle to her father Minako smiled.
She knew they both would be safe with him, today, tomorrow & forever.
