Chapter 2
We had left the park and gone to the apartment they were renting. We left my suitcase in the hallway while Haruka excused herself, Michiru and I went into the kitchen to wait for her. I sat down while she fixed us both some tea we talked for a bit about nothing really important, just talk to make the time go a bit faster. We both jumped when Haruka came storming into the kitchen, she went straight for the fridge and grab a soda. She sat down next to us and was quiet; she just sat there looking at the table. Then she lifted her head and looked right at me, she opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed it. She looked as if she wanted to talk, but was having trouble, finally she pushed away from the table. She looked at Michiru and motioned with her head to follow her. Michiru looked at both of us before saying a quick 'excuse me' and following her to the other room.
I sat there alone wondering what was going on. Wondering if they had changed their minds, and were going to ask me to leave them, that maybe they were ashamed of me. I lifted my cup, but my hand was shaking so bad that I had to put it down, unless I wanted to spill and make a mess. So I sat there alone thinking that any second now there were going to say I had to go. I began to panic and began thinking that if they did cast me out that I would have to sleep in the park. I was having trouble breathing and was crying big sobbing sounds filled the room, as kept thinking the worst. I did not want to leave; I wanted to stay, to feel safe, and loved. I pushed away from the table, and ran into the living room. I could barely see them through my tears. I ran and threw myself at Haruka clinging to her.
"Please don't send me away." I begged as I continued crying. I could feel her stiffen, and knew she was going to send me away. I continued begging and pleading with her. I think someone else was crying, but I wasn't sure all I could think was that I needed them. I don't think I realized just how much I needed them till I thought I would have to leave.
I stiffened briefly as I felt her arms go around me, holding me close. I felt someone stroking my hair telling me that it was all going to work out. I wanted to believe that voice so badly, to believe that I was going to be safe and have a home for my child and myself. Two sets of arms held me, and the warmth from them began to fill me, and I began to finally relax.
"Serena you're welcome to live with us, and I promise you we are not sending you away." Michiru spoke softly trying to reassure.
"You promise?" I asked wanting, needing to be sure that she was telling the truth.
"We promise Kitten, you will always have a home with us for as long as you want." Haruka said as she held me close. I gave them a weak smile thanking them.
"Serena why did you think we were going to ask you to leave?" Michiru asked as she handed me a tissue. I took the tissue from her and pulled away slightly to wipe my eyes.
"You were both gone for so long, and Haruka was so upset. I thought maybe you both had thought it over and decided you did not want me around. I know it's asking a lot from you both to take me in." I said softly moving to sit on the sofa my hands clenched.
"I pregnant and I don't how it happened. I'm clumsy, eat a lot, not to mention lazy, and dumb. I'll be more of a burden then anything else." I said softly looking down at the floor.
"You are never to talk about yourself like ever again do you hear me." Michiru said so softly, so passionately that when I looked up I could see tears running down her face and a fire in her eyes.
"I never want to hear you say another thing that would belittle you. Your not perfect will guess what none of us are that's what makes each of us special. Take Haruka did you know she snores and loudly too, not to mention she is a slob I have to always yell at her to pick up her socks, and then there is the fact she ..."Haruka walked up to her and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Okay, Michi, I think she gets the idea, and I do not snore." Haruka said her cheeks taking on a soft pink tint. I couldn't help it I let out a soft giggle at the sight. Michiru nudge Haruka in the ribs slightly pushing her away, but there was a smile on her face.
"As long as she understands, I won't tell the really good stuff." She said jokingly, with a wink.
"Oh she understands all right, if she doesn't I'll help you explain all about how you like to....." she trailed off, causing Michiru to blush.
"You wouldn't dare?"
"I don't know Michi I may just have to." Haruka said stretching looking serious.
"I mean we both want to her to understand that we are not all perfect and that we have our flaws that I may have to." She said winking at me. Just looking at the two, caused me to laugh, and it felt good being with them.
"Thank you both for everything." I said once I stopped laughing, but I had to know why she had been so upset. I now knew that the feelings were not directed towards me.
"Haruka I don't understand why were you so upset when you came into the kitchen?" I saw her look at Michiru then back at me.
"Serena it can wait till the morning, you should get some rest." She was hesitating I could see it in her eyes. Whatever it was I wanted....no I needed to know.
"I can handle it Haruka you can tell me what's going on, and I know it has to deal with Me." She let out a sigh and began to pace.
"Fine I'll tell you, but I just want to say I'm sorry okay." I nodded my head waiting.
"To begin with I thought when we found you in the park that you had runaway, thinking that you were trying to protect your family, or that you had not been thinking straight. So I called your parents to let them know that you were safe. I spoke to your mom, and I could tell she was relived to know that you were safe." She stopped talking for a moment, and I could guess what happened next.
"You spoke to my dad didn't you?" I said softly.
"Yeah he must have heard your mom mention your name. He....Serena if I had known how bad it was I....." she trailed of, and I knew it was bad I nodded my head.
"It's okay I get the idea of what happened. Thank you for calling them and that you let my mom know what was going on. I glad she won't have to worry so much tonight." I said giving them a smile trying to let them it was all right.
"You know what I am tired; I think getting to bed is a good idea." I said standing up. Michiru looked at Haruka and nodded her head. I gave Haruka a hug and thanked her for everything. I followed Michiru to the guest room and thanked her for everything hugging her. She closed the door leaving me alone, and giving me time to think. I pulled out a stuffed rabbit from my sub-space pocket and curled up on the bed holding it close.
-Authors Point Of View-
A few minutes later Haruka knocked on the bedroom door softly, when no-one answered she slowly cracked open the door. She peeked inside and saw that their Princess was sleeping, letting out a soft sigh she went inside carrying the young girl's suitcases. After putting them at the foot of the bed she stood there looking at her.
"Do you think the child is Rini?" Michiru asked as she stepped quietly into the room. She stood next to her lover as she looked at Serena.
"No, I don't think its Rini. It's too early and remember Rini was Serena and Darien's daughter, and Serena said they had not done anything. That's what makes the whole the thing so confusing." She said as she pulled Michiru close to her.
"I mean we came because we saw that she was in danger." She said confused.
"I'm not sure of anything anymore Ruka, maybe we need to get a hold of Setsuna. If anyone has the answer she will." She said as she laid her head on Haruka's shoulder. Haruka let out a sigh as she kissed the top of Michiru's head.
"Your right, and who knows maybe everything will become clearer after a good nights rest." She said as she lifted her head kissing her lovingly. Michiru pulled away smiling at Haruka. She covered Serena with a blanket, before taking her beloveds hand.

A.N.: Will another chapter done and I wanted to thank a few people.
QueenofMercury: I have enjoyed talking with you online, and thank you for being such a good friend. And if you like stories of the Pirates of the Caribbean check hers out. I think it's a good story.Its called : The Hunt for Black Pearl check it if you have the time.
Piper Halliwell 2: I love your nick. Thank you so much for your review, my first for this fic; hope you enjoy the new chapter.
Wharpt: Whew...thank you for your review. I know 15 is young for girls to have babies, but the sad fact is there are girls out there that wind up like this as young as 13. There are schools out there that do handle girls in this situation, and some even have nurseries for the new mom's. I know she is 'untouched' but physical activities such as the ones the girls deal with on an almost daily basis could deal with that issue you are referring to. Yes, you are right about who the child is, but as to it being an older sister for Chibi-Usa... will no she won't be. It will be a normal pregnancy I want them to have to deal with the mood swings and the midnight cravings. I may skip a month or two but I am not sure yet. Her facing the Inner Scouts will be in the next chapter how it all gets dealt with is still resting in my head. I hope I answered all your questions, and that you will continue to read. Feel free to ask anything I will do my best to answer them.
That's all for now I hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave a small review if you wish to.
Thank you, Umi neptune
