A/N
The song is called "Always be right there"
From Michelle branchs' album "the spirit room"
Minako adjusts her pink satin bra. she does a twirl in the mirror infront of her. Too look at; Miss Aino is a stunning blonde student with a beautiful figure and entising smile. Underneath the smile is nothing but hurt at the moment. Her mother had almost forced her to choose between Motoki and school, naturally Mina chose the guy she risked her friendship with Makoto for.
Minako now lives with her boyfriend in his inner city apartment. While he is at college , she is preparing herself for a career in fashion at the end of the year. With summer almost here, Minako didnt have much time until end of year exams.
Minako brushes her long blonde hair and stares out the window into the colorful night sky. Motoki would be home from Crown any minute. Her eyes glistened with tears when she thought of Usagi and Mamoru, they saw the father to be frequently but as for her bubbly blonde friend? Minako hadnt seen Usagi since the big argument between her and Motoko.
"Moto-chan" She cries into her palms.
"I'm so sorry"
Feeling all alone with noone to talk to and being known as the Slut that stole the bruntette chicks boyfriend, Minako sits alone and waits for her boyfriend to come home each night. Her life is parties with his pals from college, those of whom still talk to him on the weekends. She sighs loudly when she remembers the sleepovers and so called "Study Sessions"her and the girls would have on friday's. A tear fell from Minako's eye when she thinks of Usagi all alone in Haruka and Michiru's house day after day, feeling sick and lonely with no parents to call on for help or loving boyfriend to hold her hair back when she throws up in the mornings.
School is the hardest part, Minako was known for her popularity and flirty manner, this time it had finally came and smacked her down. Thinking of Motoko's glaring green eyes when she walks down the hall with her other friends at high school makes her cringe. She knows Motoko feels hatred towards her, but the feelings toward the guy who cheated on her was almost violent.
"I cant wait til this year is over" she pines, laying on her lovers bed.
there is then a knock on the door, followed by a loud buzzing sound.
Minako jumps off the bed and races to the door. She wraps a rose colored bath robe around her as she curiously unlocks the apartment door.
"Rei?" She gasps.
"Hey Mina chan" "Can I uh..come in?"
Minako nods happily and pours her dark haired friend a tall glass of red wine.
"Here Im sure Moto-chan wont mind" She hands her friend the drink.
Rei removes her red coat and presses her hands on her knees.
"Minako" She says.
The blonde slowly observes the way her friend runs her finger up and down the stem of the wine glass. She moves towards her and looks into her violet eyes.
"Rei..."I'm "I dont know what to say"
Miss hino takes a large sip of the cool wine and takes a deep breath.
"Look Minako dont say anything okay?" "Let me do the talking"
Minako smirks, "that will make a change"
Rei raises and eye brow and nudges her blonde friend playfully.
"You be quiet missy"
Minako laughs, she hasnt laughed like that in a fair few months.
She places her hand on Rei's shoulder and leans against her for support.
"I miss you Rei rei" "You're my best friend and i destroyed everything"
Rei listens to the soft words of her distraught friend. She strokes her head and soothes Minako with words of reassurance.
"Mina-chan, what you did was low, but time does heal all wounds" "Besides i dont think its fair that you take all the blame"
Rei has always had a cautious eye when it came to males.
The blonde nods her head, which is resting on Rei's shoulder.
"Also Minako..." "You're my best friend too"
"these last few months have been hell for all of us"
Tears trickle down Minako's delicate face...
"Poor Usagi and Naru..."
Rei gasps, "you know about Naru?"
"Offcourse i do, we did go to the same high school if you remember" Minako replies, wiping her eyes.
"Well anyway Mina I want you to know that I dont agree with what you and Motoki san did"
"Rei.."
Rei continues over Minako.
"At the same time you are my friend...before Motoko, you are closer to me than any girl could ever be as a friend"
"So no matter what i am here for you always"
Minako widens her eyes and looks up at her best friend.
"Thankyou so much Rei"She flings both arms around her elegant pal.
"You know im here for you too right?"
Rei nods her head and clings on tight to her blonde friend.
"Yeah I know, thats why I'm here"
When youre all alone
and you need a friend
someone to help you to the end
When you need someone to catch you when you fall
i'll be there through it all
just when you thought you were losing... you know il always be right there
Usagi watches the sunrise on a spring morning from her bedroom.
She was awaiting a visit from Mamoru san who said he had alot of time to think about things and wanted to talk to her.
A certain amount of feelings in Usagi were swirling around inside of her...
Seiya
Mamoru
Seiya
Mamoru
"Seiya loves me right now""But Mamoru was my first and he is the father of our baby"
"Seiya is there for me whenever i need him"
"He'll look after me...and the baby and protect me"
"Haruka and Michiru dont seem to hate him as much as Mamoru"
"But still"...
"Mamo-chan" The pregnant girl wails into her soft pillow...
Just then...
Usagi hears a loud "what the hell are you doing here?" coming from Haruka Tenoh.
She waddles over to the door as fast as she can. Haruka was not pleased to see Mamoru standing at the door with a bunch of red roses in his hand, especially this early in the morning.
"Please Haruka chan let Mamoru come in" the pregnant teen pleads.
Haruka is still in her silk night shirt, she had not enjoyed being woken up...and by Chiba of all people!
"You mean to say you're alright with this?" She growls.
Usagi nodds with slight embarrassment. she knew how much Haruka and Michiru had done for her and the last thing she wanted to do was upset them.
"We just want to talk"...she looks up at Haruka with those sparkling blue eyes.
Even Miss Tenoh could not resist the puppy dog innocence that was glistening from her eyes...
Sighing, Haruka agreed to let an Mamoru chiba in.
"If anything happens to you little kitten, I will not be going easy on HIM" the blonde points to the awkwardly nervous male.
When Haruka was back in her room, sleeping until her girlfriend came back from work, Usagi was able to usher Mamoru into the lounge.
"Oww" She clenched onto her stomach. Mamoru places both hands around her and sits Usagi down gently.
"Th...thankyou" She mumbles, her cheeks aglow.
"No thankyou Usako" He softly replies.
Usagi gasps, it felt like an eterenity since Mamoru Chiba had called her Usako.
Usagi breaths in and out heavily. She winces at the baby kicking inside of her...
Mamoru seizes this opportunity and presses his hands firmly on her bump. He feels the baby's kicks against his palms and smiles. He then leans his head on Usagi's stomach and feels the warmth against his face. Usagi has tears forming in her eyes, she couldnt help it. There was something about this scene that made her feel so special, so secure and so right.
Mamoru then looks up at the teary blonde and uses his fingers to wipe her eyes. He places his hands on her knees.
"Usagi i am so sorry, I was confused and unsure" "I was just as bad as the family who kicked you out when they found out"
Usagi listens and holds in tears behind her eyes. She nodds her head slowly and sighs.
Mamoru cups her face and apologizes again.
"I didnt take responsibility when i should have, i wasnt there for you through this pregnancy"
"and worst of all i became involved with someone i didnt even love"..."just to try to get away from the guilt i felt for dismissing you"
Usagi didnt know what to do, could she really beleive this guy?
"I know that Seiya has been alot more supportive than I have" he sighs.
"If you have chosen him to be the baby's father than i do not blame you Usako" he squints at the thought of Seiya caressing the girl carrying his baby.
"No...no...nothing has happened with Seiya and me yet Mamoru san" Usagi blubbers.
Mamoru continues to wipe her face with one hand, while his other hand soothes her large bump.
"And...I was never physical with Saori" "She wanted to be but i couldnt do it Usako"
Usagi wants to beleive his words are true. She cups his face with her hands and looks into his deep blue eyes.
They seemed full of truth and hurt, and she wanted them to be hurt, because that is how she felt for so long.
Mamoru nuzzles his nose against hers and assures her again that nothing happened with him and Soari that was sexual.
"Oh Mamoru, i like Seiya i really do and he would be devastated if i go back to you" "everyone would be" she says with fresh tears.
"I know Usako, beleive me i know" Mamoru pleads. He sits beside the blonde and wraps his arms around her, covering her pregnant belly, she leans against him and closes her eyes.
"I want to see our little daughter or son take their first step" "I want to be there when they say their first word and eat their first twinkie" Usagi giggles amidst the tears at his words.
"I want to be able to show this child just how important they are" he pauses and strokes her hair.
"Also, I want them to know how important you are Usako"
Usagi looks at Chiba with hopeful eyes...
"Really?" She whispers.
Mamoru leans in and replies "Really" With a soft kiss.
"Mamoru" she murmurs.
"Please call me Mamo-chan" he sensually replies, kissing her softer and more intense.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Michiru yells.
Usagi gasps. Mamoru jolts and they both immediatley seperate a few inches from each other.
Haruka comes storming out, her hair is messy and she has a towel wrapped around her hair.
She too flares when she sees Usagi blushing and Mamoru with his hand subtly touching her breast.
"Oh uh..." He flinches and takes his hand off of Usagi.
The awkward silence is broken with the sound of Makoto, Ami and Seiya who barge in.
"You ready to go Usa..."
Their words are cut short when they two observe the scene...
Seiya looks like he will explode at Mamoru and Haruka has flames in her eyes...
To make matters even worse, The door which is already wide open welcomes Rei ...and Minako san with Motoki close behind.
More gasps can be heard.
Motoko looks at the two blonde lovers with rage. Everyone looks at Rei curiously.
"TRAITOR" the brunette spits.
"Listen guys Mina chan and I..." Rei stops talking when she see's the look and everyone else, then at Usagi and Mamoru embarrased and on the couch together in Haruka and Michiru's apartment.
"USAGI" She bleets,
"MAMORU" Michiru seethes.
Usagi closes her eyes and tries to imagine being somehwere else..anywhere but here!
Seiyas green eyes are ripe with pain and shock..he dosent know what to say, instead he walks out of the apartment and closes the door.
"Now look what you two have done" Rei growls.
"Stop this" Ami intervienes.
"Yeah Rei youre the one hanging around THEM" Makoto rudely points to Minako and Motoki.
"Now wait a minute" Mina and Rei both scream. "We are best friends, nothings gonna change that sorry"
"Yeah just like Mamoru and me" Motoki adds.
Haruka, Motoko and Michiru glare heavily at the blonde male...
"GET OUT" "BOTH OF YOU" Michicu points to the door.
"NO Im sick of this" Minako screams. Rei stands by her side.
Motoko can feel tears forming but they are quickly turning into rage...
She clenches her fists and removes her green blazer.
"Thats it" "Who do i smash first?" She lunges in Motoki's general direction.
Minako blocks her and his thrown onto the ground.
"MINA" Rei screams...
Everyone gathers around Minako and Motoko stands beside Usagi and Mamoru shaking nervously.
"I..I...always said I'd it her but I never meant to" her hands are numb.
Usagi cant take much more of this:
the Mina and Motoki thing
Mamoru and Seiya...
Now Minako laying helpless on the floor with a gash across her face
All of sudden Usagi reopens her eyes.
"YEOW" She screeches.
A sudden rush of pain digs inside at her. Suddenely water starts gushing out from underneath her...
Everyone immediatley freezes.
Mamoru helps her up, while Haruka grabs the other side of her body and lifts her downstairs.
Rei and Motoki pick up and Minako and follow the rest of the group to the hospital.
Ami clenches onto Usagi's hand and Michiru reassures her that everything will be okay...
Mamoru speeds along to the hospital with Usagi wincing in pain in the backseat.
Haruka and Michiru sit on either side consoling her and stroking her hair...
Meanwhile:
Motoki drives along the highway to the airport with Ami and Rei in the backseat nursing Minako who is barely concious.
Now was the time to put everything aside and focus on Usagi...who was about to fullfill her great idea!
