Here's another! This one is a Crystal Tokyo ficlet!


Title: Confused

Theme: Motherhood/Drama

Characters: Venus/Minako, Serenity/Usagi

Neo Queen Serenity sat on the lounger in her suite; Small Lady playing on a blanket on the floor. She was enjoying a nice Saturday morning relaxing after the past weeks festivities. Serenity smiled at the small child who beamed back at her mother; she couldn't believe it a year since she was born. A soft knock pulled the young queen from her thoughts. Putting the book aside she headed to the door, pulling it open a crack.

"Usagi… are you busy?"

Serenity smiled at the use of her old name and opened the door wider for the leader of her senshi. It was then that she noticed her red and puffy eyes; eyes that wouldn't look her in the eye. "Venus what's wrong?" She showed her into the suite, small lady squealing at the sight of someone new to play with. The two sat on the lounger, Serenity placing a hand on Venus's shoulder. She had never seen her so upset yet so calm at the same time.

"I… I'm scared…" the blonde admitted, looking down into her lap. Serenity was confused; the world was at peace, and if something were to happen Mars or Neptune would have had early warning – or at least she hoped.

"Tell me what's wrong, please? Minako?" At her old name she looked up, wiping the tears from her cheeks. Just then Small Lady started screaming at the lack of attention she was getting. Serenity muttered a small apology and picked up her daughter off the floor, bringing her to the lounger. "Do you want to see Venus darling?" She cooed at the small child.

Small Lady reached out and grabbed Venus's arm, who jumped from the contact. She tried to smile, tapping the princess on her nose causing her to giggle uncontrollably. "I… I think I'm pregnant."

Serenity nearly dropped the child in her arms, "Really?" Venus just nodded her head, her gaze pulled back towards the floor. "Are you… are you sure?"

"I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure… I'm afraid to tell Kunzite…" Tears started to well in her eyes again.

The princess safely in her lap, Serenity pulled her crying friend into a hug. "Why? I'm sure he will be ecstatic." She pulled out of the hug and forced her friend to look her in the eyes, "Is there something you're not telling me?"

"Are you suggesting I…? No! It's his, it could only be his… but we talked about it a few months ago and he said that we needed to focus on our duties protecting the royal family, not thinking about starting our own… I didn't tell him I had already quit using birth control… I didn't think it would happen so soon… He's going to be mad…"

"Minako, he isn't going to be mad. Surprised, yes; maybe even a little scared and flustered – but not mad. You can't keep it from him though, he needs to know…" Serenity brushed wet hair off Venus's tear soaked cheeks, smiling. "Have you talked to anyone else?"

Venus smiled slightly, "No, I came right here after I took a test and it came up positive. I knew you had the morning off and I knew you would be the best to talk to considering…" She looked down at the small pink haired girl squirming in her mother's lap, looking for something to play with. She started laughing but stopped, still staring at the princess. "I can't believe I'm going to be a mother too…"


This one had been a request, of someone else getting pregnant and talking with Serena. Hope you enjoy!
