The process of adoption had been slightly complex, being an international adoption and all, but thanks to her lawyer, and the recommendation of Katherine, and advice from Alain, after a mere two months, Mina was now the proud mother of Harry Potter, and she couldn't be more delighted.

She had left it up to Azusa to break the news to the public in any way she saw fit. After all, she saw no reason to keep her sweet baby boy a secret. She trusted her to showcase that she had adopted Harry for the right reasons, and not to gain more fame. She took a cute picture of Mina holding Harry lovingly in her arms like a mother would an infant while Harry looked up at her adoringly, and sent that picture to a small-time magazine, hoping that the news would come out gradually.

The news slowly became more and more well known, and it shocked a lot of people. Including the Sailor Scouts...

And so...

Serena, AKA, Sailor Moon, sat at her kitchen table, happily eating her breakfast. "Luna, can you be awesome and turn on the TV for me?" Luna rolled her eyes in response.

"Honestly, Serena, you really must stop treating me like an obedient housepet."

"Great, thanks!" The cat groaned in exasperation as she went to hit the power button. She did so, and the news channel flicked on. Serena raised the glass of milk to her lips...

And immediately saw the screen, which contained the picture of Mina lovingly cradling the delighted Harry.

"PFFFFFFT!" Luna was promptly met with a facefull of milk from Serena's mouth.

"Disgusting, Serena! Mind where you're spitting!" The feline snapped, shaking the white liquid from her fur. "Why would you even spit that, anyway?" Serena's eyes were glued to the news station, which was still focusing on the whole Harry case. She shakily pointed at the screen.

Luna's eyes widened, then she smiled. "Well, I think that's just wonderful." She said happily. "That child is in very good hands indeed."

"But...I never would have expected her to adopt a child!" Serena exclaimed. "She's...She's...Yeah, okay, she's perfect for it...But still!"

"Calm down, Serena. There's nothing to be excited about. You just said yourself that you believe Mina is capable of raising the poor dear, and I'm certain she had a valid reason for taking on the role of mother." Serena was still stunned by the news...then noticed something.

"Luna, why aren't you surprised?" Luna blinked, then looked away guiltily. "Ah-ha! You know something I don't! Artemis told you about it, didn't he?"

Luna looked down with a small blush. "Well...Yes, Artemis DID tell me ahead of time-"

"Then why didn't you tell me?!" Serena demanded with a pout.

"Well, it never actually came up-"

"Who cares? One of my best friends has a son now! I should've known about it from one of my other friends who knew, not the news channel!" She huffed and turned away from Luna with her arms crossed. "You're so mean, Luna!"

Luna sighed in resignation. "It's because I never had an opportunity to bring it up. Artemis said that Mina wanted to explain the news to you and the other scouts." Serena sighed.

"Okay. I'm sorry." She hugged the cat. "Still, though...This is big, big, big, big, BIG news. One of my best friends is a mom now. I wonder why she did it..."

"I wonder if the other scouts have heard." Luna mused.

"Maybe..." Serena replied.

Meanwhile...

Ami pulled up the news website on her laptop to see what had been going on before she left for work.

"Minor car accident...Wait...Mina...? A little boy? Oh my..."

The surprised Ami checked over the details of the news. It was quite intriguing...one of her friends had adopted a foreign child!

She was about to dial Serena and the others, when she realized she was running late for work. She closed her laptop and headed out to her car, deciding to text Serena and the others later to meet at Lita's restaraunt to discuss it. One this was certain...Mina's new son was so cute...

Meanwhile...

Rei kneeled down and picked up the newspaper with an impassive look on her face. She opened it to the front page...and blinked in surprise when she saw that Mina had decided to adopt a little boy.

"Huh...I wasn't expecting to see that today..." She looked at it for a few moments before shrugging. "Well, he's a cute little guy...She could use someone besides Artemis in her life... I wonder if Luna would know more about this..." Shrugging, she decided to talk to the others about it later as she returned to the duties the temple required her to do.

Meanwhile...

It was a busy day in the small restaraunt Lita worked in. It was tiring, but fulfilling. While she was on break, she overheard some of the customers talking about a magazine article. Something about Mina...and...a little boy...?

"Can you believe it?" One of the customers gushed. "Mina's son is sooo cute!" Lita's eyes widened. Son? Had Mina...? Wordlessly, she approached the girls at the table.

"Um...Excuse me, can I take a look at that magazine please?" She asked politely. One of the girls smiled.

"Of course!" She handed the magazine to the woman, who accepted it gratefully as the women continued to gush over how adorable Harry was.

Lita took the magazine with a raised brow, and her eyes widened. "Whoa...Mina..." She breathed. "I didn't expect that out of you..." She smiled. "Good for you, girl. You'll be the perfect mother." She felt her heart warm up knowing for a fact that Mina would be the most loving mother she could possibly think of.

Meanwhile, the outers are learning the news as well...

"Can...you believe this?" Haruka asked her girlfriend as they watched the news channel review Mina's adoption of Harry.

"No. I can't. ...How can a child possibly be that adorable?" Haruka shook her head and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"Do you think they're really ready?" The tomboy asked, concern evident in her tone.

"Relax, Haru." Michiru replied calmly. "They're all adults now. They can make their own decisions. And Mina's always been a sweet girl. I'm sure she'll take good care of him. Who knows? Maybe she took him in because he needed help? I mean, would you have abandoned such a cutie?" Haruka blushed and looked away.

The tomboy crossed her arms and muttered "No..." under her breath.

"Exactly." Michiru said with a closed-eyed smile as she clapped a hand over her girlfriend's shoulder.

"Whatever..." Haruka muttered.

Just then, pre-teen Hotaru and Setsuna entered, the former greeting her "parents". They saw the looks on the two women's faces.

"Oh? Has something happened?" Setsuna asked. Haruka nodded.

"You're not gonna believe what Mina's done." She said.

"Is it about her son, Harry?" Setsuna asked. Haruka looked at her fellow scout in shock as Michiru raised a brow.

"So you know about it?" Setsuna nodded. Michiru raised a brow. "And will he be part of our future?"

"Well...that would be telling, wouldn't it?" Setsuna replied mysteriously as she left the room to get something to eat. Haruka facepalmed, and Michiru watched after Setsuna curiously, getting the feeling there was something she wasn't telling them...
