Hello readers thank yous and -hugs- for the reviews
I thought I would focus on the romantic side of the relationships in this chapter regardless of what people's opinions of certain pairs may be (Minako and Motoki etc)
The story needs some sweetness
So here's the first half of it. (The forgiveness chapter is on its way after this one )
Let me know if you still like it XD

Lyrics in this chapter are by Michelle branch

Chapter 11
Always be right there...
"We wont be long okay?" "We'll be back by ten no later"
"Are you sure you're okay to wait for Naru to come over, by yourself?"
Usagi ponders on Haruka and Michiru's words as they left for a much needed night out. She sits in the large living room with the television blaring infront of her.
She is holding a photo of her family in her hands. Usagi weeps at the sight of her parents smiling with their hands placed on her and Shinbo.
all of a Sudden the teenage girl feels a jolt in her stomach. The baby was kicking.
Usagi pats her large baby bump and soothes herself with thoughts of the baby swimming around inside of her. There had been a call earlier from Naru, who as busy helping Umino finish his exam, they would have all been seniors in the coming summer, instead Naru and Usagi were to be teenage mothers...
Usagi sighs when she thought of her redheaded friend, all snuggly in Umino's arms. She had spent almost everyday at his place, as it was alot larger than her Mothers place. Usagi wished she had the security that Naru had bringing a baby into the world. For a start Naru's baby would know her father, secondly they would be living together happily and thirdly both sets of parents were adjusting well to the news.
Tears started to fall again. Fresh salty stains ran down her cheeks and clung to her free flowing blonde hair.
"What a stupid idea" She cries aloud.
All that he can think of his her face in that car. How the tears must be falling from her large blue eyes. The silk p.j's she will be wearing with white bunny slippers. He winces at the thought of her parents attitude towards her...and to him. He smiles slightly at the thought of Naru and Umino. Despite his desire to get into college after senior year, he was willing to pur it aside for a year to devote his time to Naru and his soon to be child.
He runs one hand through his black bangs and sighs loudly at the thought of going to see her. Haruka and Michiru would be there for sure. The mere thought of him at the door would send them into a frenzy. They wont even allow Seiya in the house alone with her, and he hasnt done anything...or has he?
"Im so stupid" he cries.
"What if i missed my chance, and she is with Seiya?" "HIM"
"Can i blame her for choosing him over me?"
with every ounce of courage, Mamoru reaches for his cell phone and starts to call her...
Meanwhile...
"Hey Usa chan" Naru happily hugs her pregnant friend.
The two of them pat each other on the stomach.
Usagi leads her friend into the living room and offers her a drink. Naru removes her pink winter coat and takes some deep breaths.
"Being pregnant isnt easy" she cringes at the sight of her large gut and swollen feet, which she can only barely see.
"You're telling me Naru" Usagi moans, rubbing her sweaty forehead.
"Umino will be back in an hour, he's so busy studying" Naru explains."That boy, honestly" "I tell him he worries too much"
Usagi smiles and pats Naru on the head.
"Yeah but he loves you Naru chan" her voice is soft and sympathetic.
Naru looks at her blonde pal and strokes her cheek, she could see the tear stains freshly imprinted on them.
"Sweetie its gonna be okay" she warmly says.
"You have support from us, and Haruka and Michiru and..."
"Yeah but I dont have my family...or him" Usagi interrupts with tears forming again in her eyes.
Naru places a hand on her weeping friends shoulder.
"Usa listen to me" she firmly says.
"who was there for you when you were throwing up every morning?"
Usagi rubs her eyes..
"Uh, Haruka, Rei, You...ah a mix of you guys really" she blubbers.
Naru shakes her head.
"Okay bad example" she tries to think of another scenario...
"okay what about when you first found out you were pregnant?" "and your parents had kicked you out?"
Usage listens to what Naru is saying but dosent quite understand where she is going with this.
"Who was their for you Usagi?"
"Uh...Seiya helped and...oh" Usagi gasps when she thinks of the person who has helped her through the past eight and a half months despite Haruka and Michiru's narrowed eyes towards him."
"After you found out I was pregnant and we went out shopping for baby clothes;"who took us there, followed us around the mall and held your hair back while you threw up the chocolate muffin they got you?"
Naru didnt need to wait for Usagi to reply, she saw it all in her face.
"Call Seiya go on" "while Haruka and Michiru are out" Naru says with a giggle.
"Oh i dont know" Usagi blushes.
"Besides he called earlier and I told him that Haruka and Michiru were out for the night" She explains.
Naru gasps happily.
"You know what that means?" she grins.
"Uh no?" Usagi questions.
"Ah Usa you are so dense, it means he's on his way over"
"WHAT?" Usagi yelps. "He never said..."
"He didnt have too" Naru replies.
To prove Naru was right, almost seconds after she spoke there was a ring on the door bell to Haru and Michi's apartment.
Naru giggles and waddles towards the door with Usagi.
"KONBANWA" A deep voice says at the door.
"Seiya" Usagi half smiles...
Seiya gave the pregnant girl a warm hug and a tiny peck on the cheek. Naru stood beside them and winked at Usagi."My my dont you look lovely in your P.J's" the singer jokes.
Usagi blushes and looks to the floor. "Stop it" she play laughs.
After about an hour of light conversation between the three, Umino appears and whisks his lover home.
On the way out, he asks very subtly if she had "broke the news yet"
the pregnant redhead shakes her head and presses her finger against her boyfriends lips.
"When the time is right I will tell them" She says with a cute smile.
As Seiya and Usagi wave goodbye to the couple, Naru winks at Usagi once more...
"Have fun you two" "Take care of her Seiya..."
Seiya holds in a laugh while Usagi plays with her hair uneasily.
Silence fills the room...Seiya looks at the blondes large blue eyes and smiles.
Usagi looks at Seiya and holds out her hand.
"Seiya would you follow me?" She asks
The brunette doesnt think twice to latch on to her soft palm and let the female lead him into her room.
Usagi slowly makes her way to her bed, Seiya helps her sit down and rubs on her stomach for comfort.
"I want to thank you" She softly says.
Seiya looks up into the girls eyes. "Huh?"
"Thankyou for all of your help, you have been so good to me"
Seiya smiles and shrugs.
"It was nothing" He calmly replies.
"Yes it was" Usagi raises her voice.
"You have your band and school and your own famiy to think off" "You didnt have to drive me places and buy me things"
Usagi talks about the past few months where Seiya has been there when she needed someone and all of her friends were busy with their own lives.
"You're other friends have helped you out too you know?" Seiya replies, pressing his hands on her stomach gently.
"But not like you have Seiya kun" She softly says.
"I know Haruka and Michiru have been awesome" "but you..." "You didnt have to do anything and you did"
Seiya listens to the fragile girl speak. He nods in agreement and places his hand on hers, together they feel the baby kick. Usagi lets out a small laugh.
"The baby's been doing that alot lately" she says.
Seiya looks at Usagi with intense eyes. He lifts her other hand to his lips and kisses her fingers softly.
"I do this because I care about you Usa" "You deserve better than what Mamoru Chiba gave you"
"Oh" Usagi whimpers.
Seiya dries her tears with his hand and cups her face.
"If i was that baby's father I would be happy"
"what?" Usagi gasps.
"Okay so maybe it was a little sooner than it could have been, but the point is this baby is part of you Usagi Tsukino"
Usagi feels a warmth surround her when Seiya speaks. She leans herself on him and closes her eyes.
He sits on the bed and strokes her long hair while whispering...
"Just to know I was a part of something you helped create would be all I need Usagi"
"It dosent matter if Its not me this time, what matters is I'm here"
Usagi smiles with overwhelmed tears of joy.
"I'll always be there..."
when you're all alone
and you need a light
someone to guide you through the night
Just remember that i am here to hold you close
and dry your tears
just when you thought you were falling
You know il always be right there
The sound of Haruka and Michiru's voices could be heard coming toward Usagi's bedroom.
Seiya lay the blonde down and wrapped a soft blanket over her.
"Id better go" he whispers...
Usagi wipes her eyes and murmurs.
"Seiya, wha?"
The next thing Usagi knows, Seiya is gone and Haruka and Michiru are standing by the doorway.
"Let her sleep" "We'll talk to her in the morning" "Seiya says nothing happened"
Michiru whispers, with her hand on her lover shoulder
"It better damn well not have" the blonde grunts. "The nerve"
Michiru hushes her girlfriend.
"Come on I'll fix you a drink"
Haruka follows the blue haired girl out of the bedroom.
"You're going to wear that satan red lingere tonight arent you?" she smirks.
Michiru giggles and throws her white coat at her with a wink..."We'll see"
midnight looms over the city...
Usagi is stirring, her cell phone is vibrating, she kept it close by her bed incase of an emergency (Naru or her going into labor)
She rubs her eyes and pushes the talk button on her phone, not stopping to see who is calling.
"Hel..hello" she mumbles.
"Usako?" a familiar voice replies.
"MAMORU-SAN?" she yelps, her blue eyes start to widen...
"Please, call me Mamo-chan"
