Usagi lied motionlessly what seemed like hours in the bed that she and Mamoru shared. Placing a numb hand across her lower stomach, a scratchy sigh escaped her mouth while endless tears poured out of her eyes. Her lips quivered as the realization dawned on her that her child was gone. She spent three months fretting that she would lose this baby and when she learned that she had miscarried for the second time that year, she felt as if she were a failure. That she had failed her future kingdom, senshi, and her husband. Chibiusa was supposed to be here by now in Usagi's loving arms, or at least very close to being born. Now, Usagi could only think about doing was do absolute nothing. Her whole body felt numb with her heart being the only exception of being in pain.

Mamoru walked in with a somber expression written across his face as he carried a tray with a steaming bowl of soup and water. Giving her a soft smile, he set the tray down on the nightstand and climbed onto the bed with Usagi's fragile body.

"This is the second time, Mamo-chan. I can't keep doing this if it just keeps resulting in failures. Maybe we weren't meant to have a child…" she turned so she could face him.

"Oh, Usako… don't think that way. We'll get through this," he replied as he wrapped his arms around her and she buried her face into his warm chest.

"But how do you know? We don't know if the future has been changed with this or anything."

"If it had, then I think Pluto would have come to warn us about it," he said feeling warm, wet tears bleeding through his shirt.

"I just don't see the use of trying anymore, Mamo-chan. I feel like I've failed you."

"Don't ever think like that again," he replied lifting her chin causing her tears to flow freely against her cheeks. "You will never be a failure. Through everything we have been through, you have been the strongest. You will always be the light in all of our lives. My love, we didn't know that this was going to be a challenge. We didn't know that we were going to have complications. We weren't given that information, but we have to keep trying, ne?" Mamoru said letting of her chin and hugging her more securely as he continued.

"I just want her in my arms right now to let her know that I love her and always will. I just don't want to go through another pregnancy and have anxiety the whole time like the last two."

"We'll go to yoga classes, then. No more anxiety. No more stress. Because you know if you stress, so does our baby."

After a few moment of silence, Usagi responded, "When can we start trying again?"

"I want you be ready mentally and physically before we start trying again, love. Okay?"

She nodded her head in agreement and replied, "I agree. Arigatou, Mamo-chan."

With her eyes feeling heavy and dry and the beating of her husband's strong and lulling heartbeat, she allowed her eyes to droop so she could fall into a deep slumber where her heart didn't hurt as badly. Where she could hold her baby girl in her arms and coo her to sleep. Where she could live peacefully and happily with her family of three. She knew she would wake up crying, hoping, and dreaming of her family to finally be complete and that somehow this seemingly unreachable dream will not just be a dream anymore.
