Ishtar sat bolt upright and wide awake. She looked around to get her bearings, it was still dark outside. "They completed the Soul Bond, there is no going back." She sighed, "I pray to Selene that you are ready for what is to come, Serenity and Endymion."

Across the hall in a flash of silver and gold the sleeping couple transformed in their sleep. Their hair was no longer one color Usagi's golden blonde was now streaked with silver and Mamoru's ebony black had stray lavender strands. Usagi's shrank back to her usual height, but her endowment didn't change and unbeknownst to the couple as they slept dribbled with the teenagers movement.

Later as the sun rose and streams of sunlight washed over the couple, Mamoru stretched as the memories of the previous night returned. [Did I? Did we? Kami, I can't believe …] He thought as he carefully sat up trying not to wake his still sleeping girlfriend. He ran his hand through his hair and as he turned to stand up he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. Mamoru gasped at his reflection as there was no doubt he was indeed naked. [Kami! We did.] Sighing he looked at Usagi as she rolled over and he swore he saw sliver glinting among the golden locks. [It must be my eyes playing a trick on me.] He sighed again as he stood naked not wanting to steal the blankets and as he walked past the mirror toward the closet he froze and did a double take. [No way!] He thought as he examined his hair seeing the lavender streaks barely visible. [Maybe it has not been 24-hours… but then why is it mostly back to normal?]

The sound of giggling brought him out of his thoughts, "Come back to bed." His angel beckoned.

He grabbed his robe and covered himself despite the pout Usagi gave him and he sat at the end of the bed keeping distance between them. "Usako, I am so sorry." He paused looking down and running his hand through his hair, he seemed to be doing that a lot lately. "I shouldn't have allowed us to do… that last night."

"Mamo-chan," Usagi said softly realizing what he was talking about. She held the sheet against her chest taking note that the sheets were wet. [Must be from when my body changed back.] She thought as she had seen his black hair had mostly returned. She tried to sit up.

Both froze. [Tried to sit up.] They chorused and looked down toward where her stomach was still bloated and if in answer to the question that came to both their minds she got up and rushed to the bathroom. Mamoru followed behind her. [It has to be like the sheets just left your body adjusting back to normal.] He said more hopefully and with less confidence than he had intended.

The door to the bathroom door opened and Usagi's voice came out trembling, "I wish it was just an adjustment."

Mamoru looked her top to bottom as she stood before him in the door to the bathroom the sheet at her feet, her breasts dripping with milk, her stomach still swollen, and if on cue a small ripple went across her belly. Usagi's hand went to where she had felt the movement and tears slowly started to fall from her eyes. "It's ok. We will figure this out." This time he stated that as a fact as he pulled her close and let her tears and milk soak into his robe.

As her sobs slowed, he let released her ever so slightly. "First let's get those breasts dealt with and then we will get cleaned up before breakfast. Then we will talk about what we are going to do next." He led her back to the bed where he spent the next half an hour draining her breasts which although she didn't say anything he could tell were close to being engorged and starting to ache. [Thank you, medical studies.] Once he was done, he carried her to the bathroom where they lay in the tub as he gently washed her body from top to bottom, before getting out to get dressed and make breakfast. While he cooked Usagi used her hair washing routine to calm herself. As she still had nothing that would fit her, Usagi used her crystal to get dressed in another sundress only this time it was white with pink roses on it.

Mamoru smiled as he saw Usagi exit the bathroom dressed just in time as he finished plating their breakfasts. "Allow me to…" He said as an idea had come to him while he was cooking. His hands glowed gold as they both gasped, Mamoru quickly recovered and completed his task.

Usagi looked up as the golden light died, "What?"

"I realized that until we figure this out, you may want to use breast pads to help conceal any leakage." He said heading back to the kitchen and putting the plates on the table before pulling out her chair.

"Nice try," Usagi said as she walked, [waddle.] she sighed over to her chair and sat down. "The golden light?"

Mamoru sat down and shrugged, "I guess, that our activities last night unlocked MY crystal." He said at speed Usagi would have been proud of had she not been in shock.

"Your crystal?" Mamoru nodded and continued to eat while sharing his memories of the golden crystal with her, starting at the battle with Metallica and going back to what he remembered from the Silver Millennium.

Usagi was about to get up to get more, [I can't believe I am still hungry.] Mamoru got up, motioning for her to stay sitting as he dished out seconds for her. "After our discoveries this morning I thought you might want seconds." He smiled as he put the refilled plate down in front of her.

"Coffee?" She asked shyly.

Mamoru shook his head, "Not until we figure out what is going on. I don't think you want to figure out what caffeine will do to …" He explained getting her a cup of orange juice and motioning to her belly as she reacted to another kick. Mamoru laughed as he sat back down. "Now, what are we going to do?"

"The hair we could dye."

"Mine but not yours …"

"Until we figure out about this," she said with resignation while using her left hand to caress her bump. "The crystals?"

Mamoru shook his head, "Tried while I was cooking." He paused, "However, that might be an answer to the other unconcealable."

Usagi was about to say something when they heard a commotion at the door. Mamoru got up as he heard Minako, "No, Chibi-Usa. I need you to stay with Roselyn while I talk to them first."

The door crashed open just as Mamoru was about to turn the knob, to reveal Roselyn trying to grab Chibi=Usa, while Minako tried to block her from going into the apartment and Kevin and Nathan were trying to figure out 'What in the moon is going on?'

Mamoru looked to Usagi and sighed before motioning for everyone to come in. Kevin found a place on the wall to lean, Nathan got himself a cup of coffee and leaned on the counter and eyed Usagi as she sat trying to conceal her bump while her blush was giving her away. Roselyn and Minako took seats at the counter while Mamoru made a plate for Chibi-Usa as she sat down at the table with Usagi.

Mamoru refilled his coffee took a drink and sighed. "Who is going to start as you all broke into MY place?"

Minako looked at Chibi-Usa. Mamoru just motioned for her to go on without acknowledging any concern of what the child may overhear. Taking a deep breath, "I was hoping to have this discussion in PRIVATE! But … I know what the two of you did?" When Mamoru rose an eyebrow. "Last night." She clarified.

The apartment became a buzz with three different reactions and the occupants looking from Usagi, who was trying to be invisible as she talked quietly to Chibi-Usa; and Mamoru who shrugged, pretending that he still didn't know what she meant. Mamoru continued drinking his coffee ignoring the banter as it was no one's business but, his and Usagi's.

Nathan picking up what was being put down walked over to the table, "Hey, munchkin. What do you say we let these too old for our age people have their argument and you and I go have some fun?"

Usagi met his eyes and mouthed "Thank you" which is when Nathan noticed what he was pretty sure was something that hadn't been there two days ago and mouthed, "Later," as he took Chibi-Usa's hand and nodded toward her stomach as the fabric moved apparently on its own. Usagi just looked away toward her prince.

After Nathan and Chibi-Usa had exited the apartment, closing the door behind them, Minako raised her voice, "The BOND! You forget you baka, I am the senshi of Love and Passion and the only one in this life that has any senses regarding SOULMATES AND SOUL-BONDS!"

"What?!" Chorused Roselyn and Kevin as they looked back and forth between the couple.

Kevin pushed off the wall and marched up to his prince, "What were you thinking?"

Roselyn looked at her brother as she wanted to know the same thing. "Honestly, we probably weren't thinking. I love her." He looked to where Usagi was still sitting trying to hide the bigger secret. "And she loves me. We only did what couples who love each other do, ages be damned. For Pete's sake in the millennium we would be planning our wedding."

"But we are NOT in the millennium." Both Roselyn and Minako yelled in chorus. "And what are you two going to do if she ends up pregnant?"

"Too late for that!" Yelled Usagi in a burst of light she was tired of hearing them all voice their opinions about HER relationship. Serenity stood, "This has NOTHING to do with ANY of YOU! LEAVE! NOW!" She said pointing at the door. "You will be summoned if and when I decide I want to talk to you."

All eyes turned toward the princess and in a rush of apologies they all took their leave.

Mamoru went to her and wrapped her in an embrace and started rubbing her back while whispering to her that everything was alright, and they would be ok. He felt tears as they fell from his princess' eyes and soaked into his shirt. He called on his golden crystal and teleported them to his bedroom where he laid her down and lay down next to her and enveloped her in a loving embrace.

Down the hall the two generals and two senshi were discussing what had just happened in Mamoru's apartment. "I cannot believe how irresponsible he was." Roselyn said.

"How about Serenity? How could she be THAT pregnant?"

"I know. They only did it last night." Minako reaffirmed. "Wait. You weren't there when she showed us, how did you know?"

"I am not blind. When I knelt beside Chibi-Usa I noticed." Nathan said as if it were nothing.

"Speaking of whom, where is she?" Kevin asked looking around.

"In the other room. I gave her one of Zach's puzzles to work on." Nathan answered.

"Can she even transform into Sailor Moon?" Roselyn asked the group.

Unbeknownst to the teens Chibi-Usa had snuck out of the other room and had been listening. 'Usagi is pregnant? I thought that was just a glamour from the crystal.' She quickly bolted back to the bedroom, on to the balcony, and with Luna-P's help jumped over to Mamoru's balcony and looked into the bedroom where she saw Mamoru and Usagi laying there, not unlike she had seen her parents do.

Mamoru looked up and saw their daughter looking in uncomfortably and after whispering something to Usagi, got up and opened the door inviting the child to join them. Usagi did her best to roll over as she was still getting used to her mobility limitations, "Come here, sweetheart." Usagi said patting the bed.

Chibi-Usa hugged the re-formed Luna-P, "It's all my fault." She whispered clutching the toy tighter.

Mamoru frowned from behind the child and took a knee. "No, Small Lady, none of this is your fault."

Usagi frowned knowing the child was blaming herself and growled in frustration as she struggled to get up. Mamoru laughed as he picked up his daughter and carried her to the bed where his girlfriend was getting frustrated. [When it happens naturally it will be easier as there will be a slow progression. This time, for now let me help.]

She glared at him for laughing and cuddled the child as close as the baby bump would allow. "That is right. We chose to do this and we were aware there could be some …" She paused looking for the word. "Hick ups. But you know what?"

The child looked up with tears in her eyes and shook her head. Usagi looked to Mamoru who had sat down on the bed behind the child and after seeing him nod, said "We would do it again."

Chibi-Usa snuggled closer after seeing her parents' younger selves smile down at her. Then a thought hit her, and she froze, "What if you can't be Sailor Moon? It would be because of me."

"First off, please NONE of this is your fault. You may feel responsible but, both of us are old enough to make our own choices and take responsibility for our own actions." Mamoru said although he did look nervously over at Usagi. [We never thought about Sailor Moon.]

"Only one way to know." Usagi said as she again tried to get up. Cursing that she was in the middle of the king size bed. Resignation on her face she looked to Mamoru, "Mamo-chan, if you could."

Mamoru smiled and whisked Usagi up and into his arms kissing her before putting her on her feet, before he could sense her wrath. She smiled gratefully and he moved to sit on the bed before she called out, "Moon Crystal Power … Make Up!"

Mamoru and Chibi-Usa held their breath as the light and ribbons started to form and wrap themselves around Usagi as she went through a slightly different transformation but, ended up in her Sailor Moon. Mamoru gasped as he jumped up and started running his hands over her. [Not in front of the child.]

[No… no I … I mean I have always wanted to but … the baby bump…] He stammered through there link.

Sailor Moon looked down and absently rubbed the bump that she could still perceive. Smiling, [What do you mean it is right here?]

He turned her towards the mirror, and she saw what he meant. [Must be part of what keeps people from recognizing me as Sailor Moon.] She kissed him to reassure him and then smiled over at Chibi-Usa, "See everything will work out." Sailor Moon paused when the family heard the door being crashed through for the second time that day.

The three occupants turned as four people raced through the door to see a very upset Sailor Moon and the death glare of their prince. The group sighed in relief as they spotted the child and slowly went to back away from their angry leaders. "Did I not make myself clear, this morning?"

The quartet shrank back as the scolded teens they were. "We just noticed that Chibi-Usa had gone missing…"

"Gone missing?" Mamoru asked looking toward the child on his bed.

"Well she wasn't where she had been when we started our …"

"So, you left her alone and then were surprised when she moved from that location?"

"We were just in the main room …"

"STOP IT!" Chibi-Usa said as her crescent moon flashed to life on her forehead, drawing everyone's attention. "I don't want anyone to be in trouble." This caused her parents to look at her in awe. "I snuck away after hearing their concerns which reflected my guilt."

"Guilt?" Roselyn asked.

Mamoru looked to his sister, "Later."

"But I have an announcement. I am going home to Crystal Tokyo in the 30th Century." Chibi-Usa declared. "And I want mommy and daddy to come with me."

Kevin nodded confused, "OK, so, you are from the future." Chibi-Usa nodded.

"And you want to go back and take your parents with you?" Minako clarified,

"I think most of us think we know the answer but, just in case we are wrong … "Roselyn trailed off.

"Chibi-Usa, who are your parents?" Kevin finished.

"She is our daughter from the future," Sailor Moon answered as she let her transformation fall away.

Mamoru moved quickly to catch the weakened princess with one arm around her waist and the other on her baby bump that was now prominently displayed due to the angle she was leaning. "Yesterday, we asked her if she could do anything what it would be." Mamoru said moving to cradle his girlfriend, who smiled weakly up at him. "She wanted a day with her parents without the ROYAL attachments." Mamoru continued as he laid Usagi back down on the bed and ushering the group out of the bedroom.

Once they were in the main room he continued, "Usagi used the crystal to disguise us to appear as Chibi-Usa remembered." He looked to make sure his daughter was still in the bedroom with her mother before adding, "She neglected to mention her mother was pregnant."

Lights went on over the heads of the four guardians. "So, her appearance?"

"Your hair?"

Mamoru nodded. "And yes after getting home she was exhausted so, I sent Chibi-Usa to either Roselyn or the Tsukino's and we went to bed. She was asleep as soon as her head it the pillow."

"But I felt…."

"Yes, we woke up at some point in the night and activities were had." The guardians nodded. "The disguise was supposed to only last 24-hours… but when we woke up…"

"Some things were different." Nathan finished.

Mamoru nodded. Nathan got up and nodded, "Alright then. Now that this is all settled I am going to go and update Luna and Artemis as they are probably what happened to Kevin and I as we were expected about an hour ago. "

Kevin also got up, walking over and putting a hand on Mamoru's shoulder, "I … ah … Let me know if there is anything I can do." Mamoru nodded and the two generals left.

Roselyn looked to her brother who looked older and more weary than she remembered ever seeing him, "Do we know…"

"If the baby is real? What caused it to stick around after? What we are going to do if it is real?" The two girls nodded. "I have no idea." He said as he walked back to the bedroom.

Mamoru climbed back onto the bed and cuddled up next to Usagi as she listened to Chibi-Usa was telling her a story. [This is nice.] She told him as she moved his hand to where the baby was currently kicking. She smiled as she felt Mamoru relax and smile as he felt the baby kicking.

Several hours later…

Kevin and Nathan arrived back at the apartments with Luna and Artemis. The two guardian cats were told everything that the couple had told them this morning and now had their own questions. They arrived at Mamoru's door and knocked, "Luna and Artemis would like to speak with you guys." Kevin announced.

Mamoru opened the door to let the cats in and Chibi-Usa stepped into the hall. "Be good for them this time, please. If you are we can go out for breakfast before we get on the road tomorrow."

Chibi-Usa nodded as she waved and ran across the hall to Roselyn's apartment. Minako answered her knock and let her in as she explained that she would be spending the night with them and that snacks were on Mamoru.

Seeing his daughter was safely in the other apartment he closed the door on Kevin and led the cats to where Usagi was lounging on the couch. Luna was shocked when she saw Usagi's stomach, "Are you ok?"

Usagi used the back of the couch to sit up, nodded and smiled once she was sitting. "A little uncomfortable but, that apparently is normal." [Can you bring me a mochi and some tea?]

Mamoru nodded and went to get the requested items. Luna watched the interaction, "Does this mean that the bond has been completed."

"Yes, and please no lectures." Usagi answered with some exasperation. "Yes, I can still transform. Tomorrow we are going to the future and will hopefully get some answers," She added as Mamoru handed her the Mochi before he went to retrieve the tea pot and cups.

Luna nodded and did a backflip. "After what the shitennou told us we felt that these items might be needed." Artemis explained.

Mamoru put the tray with the tea and cups down on the coffee table as he examined the black computer and communicator. "They are for you, Mamoru. The computer is the same as Mercury's and with Kevin's help we even got it connected to the terran mainframe. The communicator is well a communicator."

Mamoru nodded as he put the communicator watch on. He then opened the computer and started playing around to see what it could do. He paused to pour Usagi her tea and asked the cats, "Can I use this to scan Usagi?"

Usagi looked at him curiously but, waited for the cats to answer, "Yes, it will scan biological as well as technological. You can try it on alien but, we cannot guarantee it will recognize the components or biological make up."

Luna smacked Artemis, "It will work on anything from earth. So, yes it should be able to scan and tell you of any ailments with any given human."

Using his voice as he was sure that the cats were curious to why he would ask as well, "I want to check on the 'baby'," he said as he started scanning.

(AN: For those wondering: Yes, I have been pregnant three times. I am exaggerating the symptoms at times.

I appreciate any feedback

Hope you are enjoying.)
