Chapter 13
It had been two weeks since Usagi woke up. Her parents didn't visit as often since she was doing well, and Mamoru only left her side when he had to attend to his own patients. They didn't say very much, but it was comforting to have him near. She wasn't sure exactly how to process everything, but his constant doting help to calm her down. They spend most of their time together reading, but now she was able to go home. She would start to be able start picking the pieces of her life back together.
The hour long drive was mostly filled with Usagi fidgeting. She was excited to finally going home, but she was unsure of everything in her life. Mamoru was kind and very attentive. She knew without a doubt that he loved her. She spent hours reaching into her soul trying to dig out the pieces that would help her understand her feelings towards him. Even though her brain was acting like she had no idea who he was, her heart had completely spilled the truth. Every once and a while she would look over, stealing glances. Occasionally he would look back sporting his boyish grin, that she had noticed was only for her. It was the smile a person kept inside, only showing it to the person they were most at ease with, in love with. She put her hand to her head, rubbing her forehead gently.
"Do you have another headache?" The concern in his voice, made her want to cry out in sorrow. How desperately she wanted to remember him.
"Just a small one. I think it's the once I get home and lay down, I'll feel better." He reached over and grabbed her hand, giving small squeezes of reassurance.
"You know that once I get you to fall in love with me all over again, you're home is going to be an hour that way." She looked up at him, a million emotions flashing through, but he kept his eyes on the road wearing the same boyish grin. He didn't let go of her hand the rest of the way.
When they finally had reached her house, he carefully led upstairs. There was a note on the door welcoming her home, but explaining that her family had various plans. There were moments through out her stay in the hospital that Usagi could see that everyone was telling her the truth. Mamoru knew what foods she liked, how she liked her coffee and he even knew enough about other aspects of her life. Here he was now, without instruction, leading her to her bedroom.
"I take it we have spent time in my room?" He smiled at her. "Have I ever been to your house?" Opening the door, they walked inside. Her room was cleaner than she remembered, but her desk had piles of paper work. Glancing at them, she could see that the headings were from the company they said she owned.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, it was in my room where we found out that we were pregnant." Her hand went across her stomach. He stepped forward to touch her, to embrace her, but he took two steps back. "I'm sorry. I just." He took a deep breath. "I know you need space and time, but I don't know if I am strong enough to keep the distance you need me to. I love you, and I won't give up." The determination in his eyes burned her.
"I know this is just as hard on you as it is in me." She slowly made her way over to him. His whole body relaxed as she kissed his cheek.
"I should get going." His voice was shaky. It took her a minute to realize that he was about to head out the door. Quickly she grabbed his arm.
"Please don't leave me." Her could tell by the way her breathing had escalated and how her body was trembling she was on the verge of a panic attack.
"Usagi." He pulled her in for a head. "I will never leave you."
Usagi had to open her eyes. The body that held her, made her feel protected and warm, and she was in no hurry to leave the spot. She could tell he was still asleep by the relaxed breaths that tickled her neck. Her eyes shot open when he spoken her name and let his hands roam her body. His large hand came move up her shirt cupping her bare breast. At first her whole body became ridged, frozen in uncertainty, but soon her whole body began to relax. She moaned, feeling his fingers graze her nipple and his lips trailing kisses along the base of her neck. She closed her eyes, letting the sensation he was bringing take over. His other hand was busy undoing the string to her sweat pants letting, finally being able to please another part of her body. She could feel his member digging into her back, aching for her as much as she found herself for him.
They didn't need to move from their spooning position, and he took no time waiting to ravish her in every way possible. Every time they made love it felt like the first time all over again. It didn't go on as long as he intended it too, but the sensation was too great for either one of them to handle. As lovers often to, together they came.
Mamoru held tightly to her, breathing heavily. She laid there still, barely feeling the drops of his sweat hitting her shoulder. As soon as he released himself inside of her, every moment she couldn't remember came crashing back. She let out a agonizing scream, and turn around sobbing into his chest.
"Usagi, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Mamoru started to panic, believing, that Usagi felt violated. When he began touching her, it was only because he had forgotten about recent events. As he continued he took her moans and body language as a sign of encouragement. If she would have said no or stop, he would have instantly.
"Everything is gone. Mamoru, I remember, everything is gone." He grabbed her shoulders.
"Usagi, oh my love!" He exclaimed happily. He held her until her sobbing had let up. Her head was slowly rising with his breaths.
After she had settled down, Mamoru headed downstairs to make them something to eat. He left her to shower and change. The smell of eggs quickly brought her down stairs.
"You know, I wanted to wait and till you until after you were feeling better, that your company as a whole is up and running. The members of the community have really come together and make sure that the Lunar Teachings continued on your work. When the fire broke out, people ran in from off the street to help. They worked together to save everything and everyone they could. The office has moved into a spare office your father had, and the board members take turns keeping everything on track."
Usagi's fork fell out of her hand. She couldn't blink, speak or even breath. Her head was spinning from joy. The baby must have felt it took since it began to move about. She grabbed Mamoru's hand and pulled him over. He knelt down to his knees, and kept his hand on her stomach until it settled down.
"I don't think I can express to you how happy I am." Mamoru laughed.
"Are you kidding me, you Serenity have made me the happiest person on the planet. The day you danced with me, I felt something stir inside of me that I thought was long gone." She giggled.
"Oh, I felt something stirring alright!" Mamoru laughed and kissed her forehead. "But thank you." Her voice took such a serious tone, that he felt his heart skip into his throat. "I mean, for not giving up on me. You could have used that a chance to run away." He grabbed the chair and sat back down.
"Sere, why would I ever want to run away from you?" She laughed, hard.
"Are you kidding me? Ever since I met you, you had had to deal with a lot of horrible things. I have been dragging you into so many unpleasant things, and then to find out I was pregnant when you barely knew me." He tried to get her to stop talking by cupping her cheeks in his hands. He didn't realize how small her features were until he compared them to his large hands. "You could have ran so you didn't have to marry me for the sake of the baby."
He sat there for a minute, staring at her face, then stood.
"You think I am marrying you because you are pregnant?" She gave a weak smile, nodding a little. She kept her eyes cast down, avoiding the hurt and shocked looked on his face.
"Serenity, do you love me?" Quickly she looked up at him.
"Yes." Her voice barely registered as a whisper.
"Good." He got back down on his knees. "Because I love you, most ardently in fact. You have captured my heart with yours, and a life without is no life at all. I have never once considered marrying you because of a duty, I want to marry you because without you I am nothing. No amount of money in the world, no material goods or high social status, could ever make me as happy as you do. So I am going to ask you again Miss Serenity, please do me the honor of putting me out of my misery by accepting me. Marry me?" Usagi laughed, tears following down her cheeks.
All around them claps and cheers of joy erupted from her family coming down stairs for breakfast. They continued in rejoicing when they found that her memory had returned.
During the rest of the day, Usagi spent time with her family, going over the events that had taken place during the time she was in the hospital. She had learned that Minako and Kunzite had sat down, and explained to the family that they had gotten married. Her parents, shocked at first, couldn't have been happier for the couple, though Minako was right, a real wedding was going to be expected. Ami and her boyfriend, who Usagi had yet to meet, had decided after Usagi's recovery that they were going to take a trip to South America to tour some sort of mountain cavern. Usagi wasn't really too sure she understood what they were going to be doing, but she was genuinely happy for her sister. Makoto was happy to report that Rei and Seiya were moved comfortably to the west coast, and that their mother would be leaving in a week to assist Rei in the birth, and stay about a month to help her become accustomed to being a mother. Makoto had a lacross match in the west coast during the same time, so she would leaving with her mother.
And then it was there that they decided to really fill Usagi in. It was news that they dreaded to tell her, but felt it was best she knew before she heard it some where else.
"Serenity." Mamoru got back down on his knees grabbing her hands.
"You don't have to propose again, yes is still my answer."
"No dear, we have something important to tell you. Something that you need to hear from us, before you hear it some where else." Usagi sat up in her chair, looking around at the worried expression on her family's face.
"This is about my company?"
"The fire, more specifically." Mamoru squeezed her hand.
I admit, I sort of like cliff hangers. :)
