Chapter 23- the birth of Feryal

2 weeks after Usagi came home from hospital it was just Minako, Usagi, Haruka and baby Hotaru at the mansion the other girls were either in college or jobs Mamoru was currently at University, 3 of the 4 Shittenou were currently at the control centre with Luna and Artemis whereas even though it was still in the grounds of the mansion it was at the far end of the grounds. And Keiichi was currently on the moon with queen Serenity getting some special training from his dad who had finally come back to life with the help of him, his younger sister and mother.

Usagi and Haruka were currently at the breakfast table with Haruka giving Hotaru her breakfast and talking to Usagi " say 'Ruka have you heard from Minako this morning I'm worried about her considering Keiichi is on the moon with mommy and dad." Usagi said "I can't say I have Usa-chan." Haruka said as a flash of worry came across her face.

"I'm going to check on her." Usagi said. Haruka nodded "I will come with you" Haruka said as she picked Hotaru up.

The 2 women and the baby went upstairs and went to Minako and Keiichis room and knocked on the door a strained "come in" came from inside and The two women shared a worrying look and Usagi proceeded to open the door and entered the bedroom of her sister in law and her brother and the two found Minako in bed in tears and holding her stomach "Minako, are you okay." Haruka said "I think Feryal wants to make an appearance I've been in pain all night." Minako said tears rolling down her cheeks "but that would make her 4 weeks early." Haruka said worried "why didn't you use the communicator when you got the pain? I would have been straight in here." Usagi said "princess you've only been out of hospital 2 weeks after being in a coma for two months you don't need the extra worry." Minako said her voice strained as another pain went through her.

"Feryal is coming whether we like it or not. Where is your hospital bag Mina?" Haruka said passing Hotaru to Usagi. Minako blushed "uh I kind of don't have it packed I was going to do it today." Minako said. Haruka had to stop herself from banging her head against a wall and restrained herself from not calling her cousin by marriage a complete Baka instead she threw her hands up in the air "you owe me one miss leader" she near growled Minako smirked "of course anything for my second in command. But you will have to wait until I've had my daughter." the blonde winked and then doubled over as another pain went through her. Hotaru wailed and reached her little arms out to Minako fast approaching 5 and a half months old the soldier bonds were starting to also affect Hotaru so she felt her aunts pain. "Ssshh she will be OK baby." Usagi said kissing her. "Luna, please send a priority one message to the moon ordering Keiichi to come home Minako has gone into labour 4 weeks early" Usagi said a unisoned "what?!" was said making Usagis head hurt.

Minako started crying "No I don't want to give birth on my own" she cried "He should make it in time Mina" Usagi said stroking her sister in laws hair trying to calm her down. "okay your bag is ready Mina let's get you to the hospital" Haruka said helping the girl out of bed "Usa you carry Hotaru and sit in the back with her Mina can sit up in front with me" the 4 went to the car to find an anxious 3 Shittenou and two cats turned human "you five stay here we will let you know when Minako has given birth to Feryal" Usagi smiled even though inside she was panicking worrying about her young niece which was yet to be born.

They sped towards the hospital Usagi rang in advance so when they got there and Haruka parked outside the main entrance there was a nurse waiting with a wheelchair as they got out of the car Minakos waters broke "holy shit" Haruka said "I hope Keiichi and your parents are here soon Usa" Haruka said "you are not the only one Haruka" Usagi said soothing a sobbing Hotaru.

They ran to the maternity ward and they were immediately put in a large room full of special equipment as the infant was going to be 4 weeks early. Minako screamed and then sobbed "Feryal please hold on a little longer daddy's not here yet." To make matters worse Hotaru wouldn't stop crying.

"Mrs Chiba I'm going to have to ask you to leave the room with your daughter." The doctor said "she's my niece doctor I'm pregnant now" she said the doctor blushed "I apologise but she really seemed like your daughter you look like you have a really strong bond. "I'm not giving birth on my own" Minako near growled as Haruka was currently parking the car up. Just as Minako was about to cry out again Keiichi came running in hair a mess and still in his training clothes. "I was wondering whether you would make it in time Onii-san" Usagi grinned "I wouldn't miss my little girls' birth for the world" he retorted kissing Usagis forehead and running into the delivery room "oh thank Kami" Minako said just as another pain went through her this time she couldn't resist the urge to push. And grabbed her husband's hand he immediately winced.

"Okay Mrs Aino-Akamine its time to push." The Doctor said Minako pushed down hard through a strong contraction. "Breathe Minako" Keiichi said. Minako breathed well more like panted. "Ok another one is coming" the doctor said looking at the machine Minako nodded and panted and then pushed down really hard she flopped back "I can't do this" she panted.

Then the alarms sounded Minako passed out and the baby was going into distress "OR NOW" the doctor bellowed "mother she's no" Usagi cried into her mother's arms Serenity was beyond shocked the Lunarian curse shouldn't have affected her daughter in law the way it had. "If she doesn't get through this I don't know what I'm going to do" Usagi cried "ssshh baby she will you just have to believe." Serenity said trying to stop her own tears by the time Serenity had consoled her little girl everyone else had arrived "Minako's body has gone into shock and she has collapsed they have had to take her to have an emergency section" Usagi whispered holding Hotaru tighter to her "no way" the group said

An hour later Keiichi came to the waiting room he had quite clearly been crying "both Feryal and Minako are in critical condition the doctors are not sure whether either of them are going to make it through the night." Keiichi said Tears falling down his cheeks he was immediately embraced by his family and friends and they cried together.
