Serenity's eyes blinked open at the sound of a deep soothing whisper, she squinted in the light and then almost cried when she realized Endymion was sitting in the plush chair in the corner cradling a small bundle of white blankets. His face had some bruising and socrates but otherwise he seemed unharmed from what she could see.

"Endy." her voice was strained as she tried to move to sit up. Endymions head shot up, his face shocked. Slowly he stood Serenity choked on a sob when she saw he was limping. He sat slowly next to her tears in his eyes as he looked at her. Helping her sit with his one arm he placed the bundle he was holding in her arms making her look down at the small baby she held. She was dressed in the signature white dress, Serenity sobbed running her fingers over the small amount of pink colored hair on her head as the baby yawned her eyes peaking out from under her thick lashes, her eyes were a shocking red which surprised Serenity since she and Endymion had blue eyes.

"My father had red eyes," Endymion mumbled, his voice thick with emotion making Serenity look up at him, "I was surprised when I first saw the color as well."

"How long have I been sleeping?" she looked down again at the baby in her arms already asleep, fisting the blanket wrapped around her.

"It's been about three days. You saved us, somehow you summoned the silver crystal and the energy you sent out took care of every enemy and healed some of the army's injuries."

"I killed people?" Serenity whispered a deep frown etching her face.

"Sere, If that didn't happen we would not be here, Small Lady wouldn't be here."

"Small Lady." she whispered looking up at Endymion again "You didn't name her yet?" he shook his head cupping Serenity's cheek wiping the tears she didn't realize were falling.

"You said it was Tradition for the mother to name the Daughter, I wanted you to do it. I haven't even let anyone meet her yet besides Mercury and the Midwife who were there with you. I wanted you to meet her before anyone. Our mothers are not very thrilled with me." he chuckled as Serenity nodded her head.

"Well it's tradition for her to be named Serenity." she whispered sniffling "But I would like to call her Rini if that is okay?"

"She's our daughter Sere. Rini sounds beautiful."

"Endymion?" Amis voice sounded from the other side of their door "I brought food, and your mother is out here waiting to see if you will let her meet Small Lady yet,"

"I'm her grandmother, you know!"

Endymion and Serenity laughed as he stood and walked to the door, opening it all the way, not surprised in the least when he saw all the Senshi, the generals, and the two new grandmothers standing outside the door all trying to peek around his shoulders. Ami looked ashamed to be standing there with the nosey group.

"I tried to come secretly, they seem to stalk around every corner." she mumbled

"Oh Endy let them in. They are chomping at the bit, clearly." Serenity's voice sounded from behind the Earth King causing the girls including his own mother to barge in past him basically running to the bed before Serenity shushed them showing them that Rini was sleeping.

Queen Serenity kissed Endymions cheek softly before gliding into the room as though her feet were not even touching the ground. Looking over at his generals he smiled seeing that malachite was holding his twins his hair for once pulled back into a low ponytail, they all looked worse for wear but endymion was grateful they were alive. Jerking his head to the side he stepped into the room allowing them to follow, unlike the girls they kept their distance but you could see the curious look on their faces as they looked at their princess in their young Queen's arms.

"She is the newest Princess Serenity, or Small Lady, or Rini." Endymion smiled radiating with pride as his generals clapped him on the back of Malachite giving him a knowing smile.

All the girls were squealing and sobbing as they huddled around Serenity hugging her and kissing the baby on her head before Serenity finally gave in and passed her off to Endymions mother, her own mother standing next to her as they gushed over the new baby.

Serenity examined each of her Senshi seeing that they all seemed to be in good health. Like Endymion and the generals they had cuts and some bruising but they seemed to be well. Her eyes went to Lita.

"So you are all okay then?" she asked causing Lita to smile

"Yes Serenity, we are all okay, my baby included." Lita hugged her friend.

"I say we get you dressed Serenity and all go to the garden. It's a beautiful day." Endymions mom smiled as she handed Rini off to the Moon Queen who smiled and nodded in agreement.

"We will go get a place set up then and meet you ladies out there." Endymion smiled as Mina took her twins kissing Malachite's cheek as the generals left the room.

Serenity was sad to see her stomach was almost entirely flat and that she could fit in her old dresses. Besides her chest which made her blush at the new amount of cleavage she now had.

"I am not sure what Endymion told you but you saved our lives." Mina said as she helped fasten the tell tale buns into Serenity's hair "Thank you."

"Yes thank you but how about never scaring us like that again we thought you were gone." Rei stood arms crossed though her eyes were showing how relieved she was to see her friend up and moving.

"I don't know what happened, I could see all of you getting hurt. The generals, Endy, all of you were getting flung around like rag dolls, getting stabbed but after that I don't remember what happened."

Queen Serenity smiled at her daughter's reflection in the mirror, her arms still cradling the new addition as she walked closer and stood beside her handing Rini off to her daughter.

"You summoned the crystal's power. I have never seen it used in such a way or so far away." she kissed the moon on her daughter's forehead "So proud of you."

Serenity's eyes welled with tears as she cradled Rini "Thank you."

All the girls were laughing and giggling as they walked outside into the garden. Surprisingly the men were already lounging under a big oak tree in the shade, some of the blankets they lounged on half in shade half in sun. Rei sat in the sun lifting her face to it basking in the light as Jedite came and sat next to her a small distance away but closer than Serenity had ever seen them sit. Her heart ached some as she realized Rei still hasn't seemed to fully accept Jedite as a partner the way the other Senshi had. Lita sat between Nephrites legs leaning back into his chest, his hand immediately cradling her belly as he handed her a small pastry and whispered something into her ear that made the Senshi blush. Ami sat with Zoisite, he was in the sun while she sat right where the shade ended both opening books in their lapas their shoulders leaned into one another's, a small form of affection.

Malachite and Endymion were both sitting next to a bassinet, big enough to fit the twins as well as Rini. Serenity laid her head on Endymions shoulder after placing Rini down. Mina sitting next to Malachite pulling food over next to her and Serenity telling her to eat after they all heard her stomach growl rather loudly.

"So no signs of rebels then?"

"No, all the known camps that were not destroyed seemed to have disbanded. Of course I still sent some of our best spies out to listen to anything suspicious so far though the only talk is people wondering what the light was." Malachite answered as he unconsciously played with the ends of Mina's hair.

"So the war is over then?" Serenity asked as she shoved a piece of cheese into her mouth causing Rei to scold her.

"We believe so, we aren't sure who was leading the rebels but we think he was killed in the end." Malachite answered her ignoring the glare that Endymion gave him.

"You mean I killed him." Serenity watched as her mother and Endymions walked through the garden trying to keep herself from making eye contact with anyone seated around her.

"We all killed many people, Serenity. To protect our people and children you didn't do anything wrong. And they all are receiving a proper burial, as well as headstones with their names if they can be identified." Lita smiled at her friend "It is sad, yes, but it was a necessary evil."

Serenity nodded and continued eating as silence fell over the group. Suddenly a round pastry slapped Endymion in the face leaving cream on his cheek as he looked up at a laughing Rei and Jediete.

"I'm sorry I was aiming for Serenity and missed." Rei giggled and soon Endymion was reaching across the blanket throwing another pastry in her direction only to hit Zoicite the cream splattering and getting onto Rei as well.

"Oh it's on."

With those words they all began flinging pastries at one another, Ami and Zoisite using their books as bats to slap them down, Malachite closed the netting around the bassinet to keep them from flying at the babies before he joined the pastry war.

"What on Earth is going on?" Queen Ariana's voice rang out causing the group to freeze looking over at the two smiling queens. They all looked at one another covered in the pastries before the girls laughed and giggled at the men smiling at them before Endymion stood pulling serenity to her feet.

"I say we go clean off at the lake. Mother, will you watch the little ones?"

"I would be honored." she smiled as they all stood up from the blankets.

"Race you." Serenity kicked off her shoes before she took off the other girls fowling behind her and the men behind them. Thankfully the girls all wore underdresses that they could swim in without the heavy weight of their dresses to pull them down. The men swam in their pants leaving their shirts on shore. Serenity knew her mother would not approve of them swimming like this in public which Rei was quick to remind them even though she too was swimming around and enjoying the cold water.

Endymion walked up grabbing Serenity's legs and lifting her so that he could walk further into the water, her legs around his waist as she giggled her body blushing. He kissed her softly sinking them down into the water only their shoulders and heads above the water as he cupped her backside kissing her deeper. She moaned, kissing him back, her hands going into his hair as she pressed her breasts into his chest causing him to moan. Pulling away he leaned his head on her shoulder with a sigh.

"Ami and the midwife said to wait a few weeks before we can be together again. But I couldn't resist kissing you." Endymion sighed and kissed her shoulder causing her to shiver despite the warm weather.

"I'm sorry." Serenity mumbled pulling away from him slightly

"No don't be, you gave us a beautiful Daughter, now is the time to enjoy her and let yourself heal." he smiled at her giving her a small kiss before they heard the Senshi yelling from the shore telling them it was time to go back for Dinner.

Dinner was uneventful, and that night Serenity had a hard time putting Rini down to go to bed. Not wanting to let her out of her arms. Endymion moved the bassinet to Serenity's side of the bed so she would be closer as they laid down holding each other close.
