SailorStar9: After getting the prologue out, this is Chapter 1 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Furuya Rei/Mizuno Ami

Disclaimers: I own absolutely nothing, except this plot and pairing.

Chapter 1: The Promise

"Do you want me to..." Amuro trailed, opening the car door on Ami's side.

"I'm fine." Ami cut him off, stepping out of the vehicle and retrieving her handbag. "Besides," she took Fumio into her arms. "You'll be risking your cover if we're seen together."

"You even know that?" Amuro inwardly winced.

"Just the barest details." Ami admitted. "I... won't ask for an explanation because I know you; the one thing I always hated about you is that you tend to keep the important details to yourself. That's why I can only ask one thing from you." she brushed a lock of Amuro's hair from his face. "Just... come back to me, alive." That's right. She mused, watching Amuro drive off. Trusting you to come back to me is the only thing I can do right now, because on that night, six years ago, I've already decided that you're the only man I truly gave my heart to. That's why I'll be waiting for you to return to my side. If you dare die, I'll never forgive you.

"Mama?" Fumio stirred from his impromptu nap two hours later on the hotel bed. "Where's papa?"

"He had to go back to work." Ami replied. "Hungry?"

"Yes!" Fumio beamed and slid off the bed to brush his teeth.

Ami watched her son enter the bathroom and opened the photo gallery of her cellphone and scrolled down to a photo Date Wateru had sent her on the day of the Police Academy graduation. Tracing a finger along the edges of the younger Amuro's face, she snapped her phone shut when she heard Fumio exit the bathroom. "What do you want to eat?" she looked at her son.

"Spaghetti!" Fumio declared.

"Alright." Ami smiled and the mother-son pair exited their room.

SailorStar9: Any OOC-ness is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Read and review.
