Betrayal of the heart
Chapter Nine: She has...twins?
(I must warn you, I have never been in a delivery room, I have never witnessed live birth, so if I mess a few things up, please don't think too critical of me. you may think that the babies should not be fine due to three months and that they should be premature, but they are lunarian babies, and all will be explained in due time)
Usagi was rushed to a delivery room upon entrance to the hospital. Since Ami was not on duty, another doctor came into the delivery room, but even though Usagi was in pain, she demanded that nobody but Ami was to deliver her baby. Ami assured the doctor that it was okay, and that she would fill out a log of her time delivering Usagi's baby. Ami was sure Usagi was afraid there would be something abnormal with her baby, since she was half lunarian. Ami bustled about the room, effectively kicking all of the guys out.
"Why don't you go call people, like her parents and Demando" Makoto suggested. The guys agreed that this was a good idea. Rei, Luna and Artemis waited in the waiting room, not wanting to be in the actual delivery room.
"She still hasn't told Mamoru, has she?" Luna asked. Rei shook her head.
"For the past six months she has avoided seeing him, so I doubt he's even seen her belly grow" She replied. "I hope the baby is okay" Luna nodded. Artemis sat curled up on Rei's shoulder, since he could not transform into a human. He was a bit envious of Luna, having always longed for a human form, but being a cat had it's perks too, so he wasn't too upset by it. Rei winced as she heard Usagi screaming.
"I am never having kids" She muttered under her breath. "It sounds way too painful" Luna giggled, but said nothing. Just then Jadiete entered the waiting room.
"Usagi's family is on the way. Demando wants to come, but is in the middle of a crisis. He said to give Usagi good luck and he hopes she'll be okay" He explained.
"Where are the other guys?" Rei asked. Jadiete nearly laughed.
"Kunzite is a nervous wreck and is outside, calming himself. Nephrite and Motoki are drowning themselves in coffee in the cafeteria" Rei smirked.
"Kunzite makes it seem like he's the father" She said. Jadeite shrugged.
"He's always had the protective older brother attitude" He said. "Except for when we were working for Beryl" Rei nodded.
"Oh, and Zoicite is getting food, incase this takes a while" Jadiete said.
"Zoicite is always thinking about food" Luna said, grinning.
"I heard that" Zoicite said, entering the waiting room with several grocery bags. "and I resent every word"
"Why?" Luna asked. "It's true" Zoicite frowned.
"I...Well..." He sputtered. The others laughed and finally Zoicite joined in. A few minutes later, Kenji and Ikuko Tsukino rushed into the waiting room and Jadeite pointed them to the right room. Kenji however, did not go into the birthing room, having had to watch his wife in childbirth twice. He sat in the waiting room and grabbed one of the sandwhiches that Zoicite had brought. All the guys winced when they heard Usagi scream again. Kunzite, Nephrite and Motoki eventually came back into the waiting room, and everyone sat like sitting ducks, waiting for someone to come out of the hospital wing. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Ami stepped out of the hospital room, with a smile on her face.
"How is she?" Kenji asked nervously.
"She is fine, everything is fine" Ami said, sounding a bit uncertain. "We aren't sure why, but both babies have been born healthy and full term"
"Babies!" Everyone exclaimed. Ami nodded.
"I am not sure why I didn't catch it on the ultra sound, but she has given birth to twins a boy and a girl" Ami replied. Everyone besides Kenji was wondering if these strange occurences were because of Usagi's past life, but it was hard to be certain.
"Has she chosen names?" Jadeite asked. Ami nodded.
"She has chosen Kenji Dimande for the boy" Kenji smiled softly. "And she has chosen Serenity Rei for the girl" Ami told them.
"Can we see her?" Jadiete asked. Ami shook her head.
"Not for a few minutes yet. I will let you know when you can see her" Ami replied.
Once everything was all cleaned up, three people were allowed in the room at a time to fawn over the new babies, who looked just like thier mother. Usagi was proud to be a new mother and happy too. She was so grateful that her babies were not premature. She wondered if it was possible, because of her lunarian background, to have been pregnant a couple months before catching on that she was pregnant. After all, anything was possible.
