#54. Nightmare

Thanks to ili777, Miss Moon Rose, bunny88rosemagic, angeljme, Senshi at Heart, Sailor Rallison, Loveinthebattlefield and Secluded Sapphire for reviewing the previous chapter!

A/N: I did two instead of one, because I thought having one from Mamoru's point of view was important as well. It's not exactly nightmare scary actually…Sorry for the re-upload and confusion, the format went wrong.

Warnings: Kisses, if you don't want them.

It wasn't easy, Usagi thought to herself.

Being pregnant was proving to be more irritating than anything else. Somehow she managed to crave for ice cream while feeling queasy and her need for her husband seemed to increase as she waddled around the empty apartment.

Wait what?

Usagi looked down on herself and stared at the bulging belly. She was pregnant?! Oh nonononono. Definately no. How could she, an absolute virgin without a boyfriend get pregnant? She never even got to kissing anyone! Well, except Tuxedo Kamen, and even that…

A sudden chill went down her back. So if she was pregnant, who made it happen? Where could she find clues so that she could bash that bastard's head into pulp and then decide what next?

Ah. Pictures. Frames. Yes, YES.

Frantically, her eyes fell upon a frame that was slightly turned against the light, blurring out the image of the male in the picture. She looked quite happy in the picture, Usagi observed. Holding her heavy stomach, she bent slightly to pick up the frame, only to drop it in shock.

It was Mamoru.

Mamoru. Oh this was definitely a nightmare.

Usagi felt her knees go weak. Of all people, why Mamoru? Sure, she had that bitter liking to him- nice body, nice looks but a horrible mouth to boot. Unconsciously, she stuck her tongue out at the picture.

"Be careful with that." A deep laugh came from behind her, hands circling around her swollen belly. The male sniffed at her neck, pressing a kiss to it. "I got you ice cream." Usagi froze. The voice that taunted her every day at the crown arcade was unmistakable. Slowly, she turned around in his arms, staring at him with an unreadable expression

"I don't understand. How could I ever have m-married you? A-And have this baby inside me?!" Part of her wanted to call the baby a thing but somehow, it felt wrong, even if it was Mamoru's. "Don't you know how much we hate each other? I'm barely 16 and this!" She jabbed the air above the belly to prove her point. "You should be in jail for this! I'm underage-jailbait, you know that?!"

"What?"

"No- I mean." Usagi searched desperately for a word to describe her confused emotions. "You're my enemy, and now I'm having your baby, it's not right! It's just-"

"Right." Mamoru gave a gentle smile to his wife. "It's alright, its okay. Come here." He bent down and cupped her face into a long, endearing kiss.

If it didn't feel right before it sure did now.

Usagi savoured the kiss and closed her eyes, her body responding readily like it was used to his touches. Oh, this was a nightmare alright. She just wasn't going to tell anyone how much she enjoyed it.

Mamoru tossed around in his sleep, kicking off the sheets as he ran into a house in his dreams. Somehow, it felt instantly weird as he kicked off his shoes, hoping frantically his wife would be in the house - he would never forgive himself if anything happened to her and the baby.

Wait what? He was single, for goodness sake. The closest girl to him right now was a snivelling excuse of a brat whom never failed to grate his nerves every day and he had a pregnant wife in this dream?

"You're back." A shadow stood in the doorway, hand on a swollen belly. All he could do was stare at the hands and think about the possibilities of who the woman with child in his dream might have been.

"Are you okay?" Usagi's face came into his view. "You seem a little pale.."

Wordlessly, he nodded. With a concerned expression, Usagi touched her forehead with his. With her face scarily close, he sucked in his breath and swallowed hard.

"You seem alright."

Mamoru was screaming internally. How could this be alright at all? He must have had a concussion. This was Usagi he was thinking about! Jailbait, bro! Even if she was being this endearingly sweet, there must be a knife hidden behind her back. His usual nightmares were of not being able to find his princess or being unable to save her as she fell off the cliff but this-

His thoughts were interrupted by her cupping his face in her hands. Their eyes met and a small giggle escaped her lips. Mamoru relaxed and gave a shaky smile. Why was it the quarrels in reality never ended this way? She consumed his heart just by that action alone!

A peck landed on his lips as his eyes widened, watching her every move. His body seemed to move on its own, his hand circling the nape of her neck, bringing her closer to him. Breaths mingling, he closed his eyes and savoured the sweet taste of the kiss.

...somehow, this didn't seem like a nightmare anymore.
