Their breathing faltered as silence sliced through the hospital room. Sweat gleamed across Usagi's face and Mamoru's hands quickly found his wife's. For what seemed like hours, they heard nothing besides the rustling of fabric.
A baby's cry permeated the air along with relieved sighs from the parents who were anxiously waiting for their baby girl to reassure them that their family would finally be complete. A nurse walked over to Usagi, who had tears glistening in her eyes, with the crying newborn cradled in the woman's arms.
"Chibiusa," Usagi breathed as her baby was placed in her awaiting arms.
Mamoru slowly sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his wife and now-content daughter in complete happiness. Chibiusa may have scared them just seconds ago, but to have Chibiusa now sleeping in Usagi's arms, all of those worries vanished.
