"Where are you two? If I find you two, you're going to be in big trouble, no desserts for you two tonight," a voice came from the kitchen. Little giggles were heard from the hallways bringing a smile onto the woman's fragile face. Her little miracles actually it was their little miracles. Quickly subsiding the thought and focused on the situation.
"I'm going to count till 10 and if you guys are not here then no chocolate cake," she said and starting counting slowly.
"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…" as soon she was about to say the last number she felt 2 pair of hands covering her eyes.
"Guess who," tiny voices came from both directions.
"Umm…I don't know," the woman said smiling.
"You better guess or you won't get any dessert tonight," one voice said imitating the woman, what she said earlier.
"Yea we'll count till 10 and if you can't guess then no chocolate cake," another voice said chiming in.
"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…," chorusing together but before they could hit the big ten the women chimed in.
"Mamoru and Usagi," the woman said laughing.
"Aw man I swear this time she wouldn't have known," the little 4 yr old boy said crossing his arms pouting.
"Next time we'll get her Mamo now where's the chocolate cake," the same age as her brother the girl replied looking around for the cake.
"I'm too good huh," the woman said smiling down at her darling angels.
"Someday Mom," they both chorused laughing they're precious eyes twinkling in the fluorescent light.
"Now where's my hug for the day," the woman said gently. They both rushed over and almost squeezed the life out of her.
"Not that hard," she said pretending to have lost oxygen. They finally let go and gave her a kiss on both cheeks at the same time.
"I'm hungry mom what's for dinner," Mamoru said as he sat down on a chair.
"Yea me too," the little girl said smiling.
"I made spaghetti with meatballs for all of us," the woman replied.
"Like Usagi's hair," the boy said pointing at the girl's hair that was formed into two buns.
"MOM!" the girl yelled at the top of her lungs almost deafening everybody surrounding her.
"Mamoru be nice to your sister,"
"I'm sorry," he mumbled.
"That's okay," Usagi replied hugging Mamoru and giving a kiss on the cheek.
"Yuck!! Girl cooties," he said wiping his cheek, laughing at the same time.
"Eat up you guys," the woman replied kissing both of them.
"Yes Mom!" they both replied in unison.
The woman turned around before the children could see the sadness in her eyes. So many things have changed and so many things that were still the same. Their little antics reminded her of her past. Meatball head used to be her name now it was her beautiful daughter's. She had given up on the hairstyle fearing of being recognized.
Fear had become a vital part of her life but as time ceased she was breaking the spell. Some part of her was filled with guilt but it was not like she had a choice. There was a time when she was carefree and then it changed to something really painful.
The woman stared at her reflection. Blond hair that once flowed down to her ankles was not cut short to her hips with layers. Bones that were fragile were now strong and could stand her ground. Eyes that used to sparkle over small things were now held by an ocean of sadness, frustration, guilt and motherhood.
"Mom Usagi is going to choke the way she's gobbling her food," the dark haired boy said, deeply resembling his father. He had the same striking dark blue eyes and the same devilish locks like his father's. It pained her to think about him after all those years but deep in heart there was not one day when she didn't think about that man.
"Am…not" Usagi's said her face filled with food, bringing a smile onto the woman's face. Usagi was the same replica as her mother. Blond hair tucked into two tiny little buns and eyes that reminded her of the clear blue sky. She loved both of her children till death and would do anything for her little miracles.
"Usagi slow down," she said gently to her daughter as she joined the kids for dinner.
"Yes mama!" she said slowing for couple of minutes but eating at her normal pace in no time.
"So what happened in school today?" she asked.
"Usagi has a boyfriend," Mamoru said teasingly. Usagi froze still mouthful of spaghetti hanging out her mouth.
"No I don't he's lying mommy!" Usagi said sending shooting death glares at Mamoru.
"Than why is Joey everywhere you go huh?" Mamoru said laughing.
"Because he is my friend nothing more," Usagi said blushing and crossing her arms together.
"Usagi and Joey sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G first comes love than comes marriage then comes a baby in a baby carriage," he said jumping up and down singing.
"Then what about…um I don't remember her name," Usagi said thinking really hard.
"Mika," the woman said helping her confused daughter.
"YES!!" the little girl shouted in the air causing the boy to turn into the shade of a tomato.
"Mamoru and Mika sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G first comes love than comes marriage then comes a baby in a baby carriage," the little girl was chanting along with her mother as she sat in her lap.
"Hey! No fair, two against one," he said pouting and crossing his little arms together.
"Anything's fair in love and war," they both replied sticking their tongues out.
"Where's my partner?" he mumbled. The mother sensing his son's grief quickly changed the subject.
"Hey I have an idea? How about we quickly clear the table and then we'll go have our painting session," she said with a warm smile.
"Yeah I want to draw a dragon," the boy replied eagerly quickly forgetting his sadness.
"Mama I want to draw a princess," Usagi said sparkles in her beautiful eyes.
"Sure kiddo, let's do the dishes first," the woman said standing up and clearing the table with her little ducklings helping her with the chore.
When all the dishes were put away they all went up to the upstairs room where everything was laid out. Paint was everywhere, 3 pair of hands were smacked onto the wall. They were all different colors: one was bright pink with Usagi's name in it the other one was a dark blue with Mamoru's name and the last one that was painted into a yellow color or could be passed for gold had Serena written in it.
(Serena's POV)
I knew the day, when I was about to leave England that I was pregnant. It made me more determined to leave England. I didn't want Darien to find out about me being pregnant. I guess it was fear. Darien is too good of a man and he would have said to marry just for the child's sake. I didn't want to be in a relationship where I knew he wouldn't have loved me for me. I didn't know that I had 2 little darling angels on the way rather than one. I guess Darien gave me the precious gift in the world and I wouldn't ask for anything more.
All those years I lost contact with my friends and family because I didn't want to see the disappointment in their eyes. I guess it was my Pride and Fear that ruled me over all these years.
I am content with how I'm living with my life. It's hard sometimes but I have my two little angels that keep me up on my feet: Mamoru and Usagi.
I own a little gallery shop in the little town that we live in and it actually pays more than what I was getting in New York, so it's a plus.
"Mama, Mamoru is putting paint in my hair," Usagi said, getting me out of my muddled thoughts. I noticed my little girl was covered in green paint non toxic paint.
"You started it," and my other child was smeared with blue paint.
"Because you called me names again," she said sticking out her tongue out. I told you they keep me up with their antics.
"You know what happens when little children throw paint around," I said sternly trying to hide my amusement.
"Umm what!!" they both gulped fear was evident in their beautiful eyes.
"WATER FIGHT!" I said pulling out my water gun from behind. All I could hear were screams and laughter.
"Mama you better watch out this time we're prepared," Mamoru said pulling out a SUPER SOACKER. It was really powerful against my puny little water gun. Later on I could hear my screams in the room and protests for them to stop.
"Fine you win!" I said holding my arms up in the air. Finally there was no more water just laughter was heard.
"You should have seen your face mama," Mamoru said giggling holding onto his stomach.
"Yea mama you looked so funny," Usagi also replied with her hand on her stomach from laughing so hard.
"Very funny, fine you guys win this time but I'll win next time," I said trying to pout but soon it was reduced to giggles.
"You guys have to take a bath and then it'll be story time," I said taking water out of my hair.
Soon every single of us had took a bath and were ready for bed.
"You two all snuggled," I said making both of them comfortable in their own little beds.
"Yes mommy," Usagi said smiling with innocence.
"So what would you like to hear today," I said sitting down on the rocker chair close to their beds.
"The Princess!" she replied again.
"Not again Usagi" Mamoru said heaving a sigh.
"But it's my turn," Usagi said.
"Fine you two, stop bickering like chickens," I said smiling and started telling the story.
"Once there was a princess that lived on the moon. One day she fell in love with a prince. He wasn't any prince that the princess had ever seen. The only thing that was standing in the way was that the prince loved someone else. He loved a witch. The witch was always mad because the prince and the princess were good friend. So she did something to break her friendship with the prince. It broke her heart knowing this so she fled. She fled from everything from everything she knew her friends and her family. Even now her family and friends don't know where she is".
"Where is she Mama?" asked my innocent girl.
"I don't know Usa but all I know is that she has 2 angels watching over her to protect her from evil," I said kissing both of them goodnight.
"Mama!" the both said in unison.
"Yes," I said turning around.
"We love you," they said blowing a kiss at me.
"I love you too," I said pretending to catch the kiss.
"Now go to sleep you too, tomorrow is a big day for you two," I said turning off the light.
"Yes mama!" they both said and went to sleep right away from tiredness.
This is the world I had created after all those years. I could say I had the perfect life then why was something irritating me like there was a big storm coming my way.
