2 weeks later...

Endymion had become very protective of Serenity, after being poisoned himself along with the scouts he could not be so very trusting of everyone. Serenity's food had to be tasted every day at every meal time, the cooks were on watch by Guards and he had doubled the Guards on their chambers. Visiting the town was forbidden until Serenity had had their child, he did not want anything to happen to her or the unborn baby. Endymion was always looking over her shoulder, Serenity loved Endymion but as she walked out onto the balcony she felt like she wanted to throw herself off. She couldn't stand never being left to herself. If anything it put a strain on her emotionally and physically, if carrying an 8 pound baby was not enough! The air was growing warmer and Serenity could not contain her temper, many times the scouts could hear her accost Endymion, "God! Why can it not rain! This heat is unbearable! ! You are never coming near me with that Thing again! Do you know how much pressure this is putting on my body? I'm only 4ft9! Endymion! Why won't you just find out who poisoned everyone! God! You are so slow!" Poor Endymion bore it for Serenity and put it down to hormonal change in her pregnancy.

As Serenity's due date neared, she sat beside her window the fire crackling and the shadows dancing on her face. It was the 1st of December and a light snow fall had been steadily falling, blanketing the City in pure, white, snow. She rubbed her bump, the kicking was getting worse and she felt physically sick each time. Endymion stood by the fire, his eyes focused on the flames, watching them as closely as he could; Serenity noted he had been quiet for at least 2 months. He had been on edge every time she looked him in the eye. She shook her head and put it down to anxiety of the birth going horribly wrong.

She stood, and crossed over to Endymion, the fire throwing its flames onto her face, "Endymion, what is wrong? You have been anxious for the last two months. Did Rai see something in the fire? About the baby? Endymion, please don't shut me out. You are making me worry."

Endymion closed his eyes and sighed, "Serenity, nothing is wrong. Don't worry. I just want the baby to be healthy that is all."

Serenity sighed with relief and kissed him on the cheek and went to lie down, as Endymion said he was going to fill in paper work in his study across the hall.

3 hours later...

Serenity awakened to find Endymion had not come to their bed; his side was made and barely touched. Serenity threw her robe over her and quietly slipped out of a secret door and walked down the hall to Endymion's study, she peaked through the door, the fire was dim, and the room felt surprisingly cold and a sudden foreboding ate away at her. She looked around, and slipped in. Serenity slowly looked around the study; everything was in its place as it had always been. Yet something was not right about the room. She felt a chill race up her spine making her shudder, she felt uneasy and couldn't help but notice something was not right with the room. It was not like Endymion to leave his study room door open or leave the room exceptionally freezing. She breezed over to his desk and sat down in his great arm chair with dragon claws at the feet, papers were sprawled out across the desk. She wanted to slap herself, there was nothing wrong here. It was just paper work. She neared laughed at herself as she stood up. But as her hand glided smoothly across the edge of the wooden table, she heard a small thud as something dropped. She turned, blaming her old clumsiness she bent down to pick it up and felt the cold slither of a metal chain dangle and crawl around her fingers. She walked over to the fire place to get a better view of the object. She certainly had never seen the gold locket before. Carefully examining it, it was of beautiful craftsmanship, a very skilled hand had made this and like an artist painted every fine line of detail into the rose with was encrusted with rubies and emeralds. As her small fingers opened it, she felt a shadow on her and jumped to attention, she gasped as the locket fell onto the ground open in front of them. "Endymion!" Her hand flew to her mouth as her other hand begged and searched for something to support herself. "How-Why-I"

Endymion quickly picked the locket up and stuffed it into his pocket, "Serenity, I didn't mean for you to see that. Honestly it isn't what you think- I can explain!"

Serenity turned, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes, biting her lip she asked coldly, "Who is she? Are there many others?"

"Serenity what do you mean? I am not-"

She snapped and turned like wildfire "Don't you dare accuse me of exaggerating! You are cheating on me Endymion! How could you? I am carrying your child!" she screamed in desperation and sank to her knees. "That's why you have been one edge! You could never look me in the eye!"

Endymion bent to touch her but found his hands slapped, painfully away, "DONT you dare touch me! I don't even want to see the sight of you-AH!" she winced in pain and clutched her belly in pain.

"Serenity!" Gasped Endymion, as her gown started to show blood stains.

"What's going on here? I heard you scream Sere- Oh my God!" Jupiter gasped in shock and went to Serenity's aid.

"Jupiter-I-I-having my baby -NOW!" Serenity cried out in pain as she fell to the floor and writhed.

"Endymion, get Mercury!" Jupiter instructed as she took Serenity's blood stained hand.

"NO! NO! NO! I don't want him anywhere near me!" Screamed Serenity.

"But Serenity-" Jupiter argued.

"He- is -not- to- be- present- at- the- birth -of -My child!" Serenity said in between gasps for air.

"Serenity! You can't deny me that! I am our child's father! It's my child to! I have a right as the father!" Endymion, cried out in anguish.

"What have you-done-to-deserve-any-rights? And It is -My-Chi-"

Jupiter looked from one to the other, her eyes curiously setting on the locket hanging from Endymion's pocket, "I don't think I want to know."

The Crystal-like stream above the Palace turned black thunder echoed the piercing and shattering screams of a woman in agony cutting the heavy mist of thick silence, it could have been cut with a knife. Lightening filled the halls with light over throwing the dim candle light that was getting them through. The UN concluded night. The black silhouettes of the figures standing outside the room threw themselves onto the wall during the candlelight hours in order to save power to generate the Palace of Crystal Tokyo. Mindless and sour voices started to rise into heated arguments that were full of self-centred- edges and spiteful, vindictive slanders were being thrown out, like dark energy from the Negaverse. Again the screams got worse…making the figures pause in mid sentence and wince, shuddering at the thought of the King bringing this pain upon his Queen due to his Ego.

Serenity shot up and screamed she felt pain sprint through her lower abdomen, crunching over on her bed, she gasped and panted to try and breathe. Hot beads of heavy sweat dripped from her body, shaking, the physicians around her bowing and shaking their heads in panic and worry. As her screams pierced through the air, Sailor Mercury realised that she had been in child birth for more than 2 days. She could not help but feel she would lose this baby and her life. "I-cant-do-this-any-more!" she breathed, desperately weakening, her voice sounded frail and exhausted. Sailor Mercury turned and wept silently.

Sailor Mars shot him a sharp Glare as she folded her arms and slumped up against the cold lonely stone of the wall; she opened her mouth but hesitated as the screams stopped. Still silence captured them, none of them moved they didn't know if they should and who would move first. The door opened and a black shadow leapt onto the wall as its owner stepped out from the doorway. They gasped and The King held his breath. It had been 4 days. The king was allowed in first. He could see Serenity whimpering in her bird, curled up in a ball. He looked at her confused. Sailor Mercury walked over, holding a small and frail baby in a soft pick blanket. Tear tracks were on Mercury's cheeks and Endymion, slowly looked down to see that the child was not moving and was dead. His face held the pain he was feeling.

"My King. It was a long and hard labour. This is no ones fault. But the fault of Death. She was born still. It was inevitable, seeing The Queen's pain and long labour. I am so sorry." She rested a hand on his arm, gently displaying great sympathy. "We tried everything. At one point we thought Serenity would, too, lose her life."

Endymion felt his cheeks grow wet and softly kissed the child's small and delicate head and then slowly wrapped the blanket of its face. He couldn't look at Serenity, He couldn't look at himself. He walked out of the room; shoulders hung low with a heavy stone around his neck.
