Chapter Two: Amelia
Athena Chiba
"Star Serious
Laser!"
The long beam of light
destroyed another youma as Sailor Star fighter had
protected Sailor Moon who was down with a twisted ankle. During the battle,
they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a youma
revealing itself from its disguise as a harmless tree. However, it took a
little longer for everyone to realize it. The youma's
arms had extended out capturing Keisha and Taiki in
its grasp. However, Sailor Star Healer who immediately attacked stopped its
attack plan.
"Sailor Star
Fighter get Sailor Moon out of here!" Sailor Sun
ordered. "We'll take care of this youma."
"I can't let you
fight alone dummy," Star Fighter snapped glaring at the senshi of the sun. she was getting
really annoyed with that puffy haired glorified pixie ordering her and her team
around as if she was their leader.
"I said go!"
Sailor Sun ordered glaring. "That is an order, we can't let Sailor Moon
die and not have the chance to fulfill her destiny of allowing the other senshi to be reborn!"
Puffing out her cheeks
Sailor Star Fighter picked up the injured Sailor Moon and darted off to a safe
place. Looking back, she could see all three of the other senshi
get thrown back by a strong force.
"Seiya…put me down we have to help the others," Sailor
Moon whimpered. She ignored the pain in her ankle long enough to speak.
"They'll die if we leave them to fight like that."
"I'm sorry but you
heard that pixie…" Seiya mumbled. "I have
to get you to a safe place."
"I'll be
fine," Sailor Moon said in reassurance. "We have to go back and help
them…we can't let anything happen to them, Earth won't be protected."
"Alright
fine," Sailor Star Fighter put Sailor Moon down and no sooner than she did
the senshi of the moon darted off back to the fight.
"What the
hell…Sailor Moon what are you doing back here?" Sailor Sun screamed as she
was tossed aside by the youma as if she was nothing
but a doll. Landing on the other side of the sidewalk, she looked up and
winced. "Damn it…I let my guard down."
"Sailor Moon, you
have to defeat this youma now," Sailor Star
Maker shouted looking over at Sailor Star Healer holding off the youma. "I don't think Yaten
can withstand distracting it any longer."
"Right…Starlight
Honeymoon Therapy…Kiss!"
**************************************
"Pixie…"
"Captain Leather
Fetish!"
"You know you like
it!"
"Kiss my ass!"
"Bend over and I'll
do it!"
Serena held Keisha back
from Seiya as they sat in the living room of her
apartment together. She had noticed the two of her friends weren't getting
along and wondered what had triggered their discomfort with one another. "Keke, please don't fight with Seiya,
he means well."
"Please, he just
came back to steal you away from Darien," Keisha snorted and twirled one
of her curls in her fingers. "I rather protect you from a leather bondage
fashion wearing hormonal man."
"What was that
pixie?" Seiya demanded,
Taiki was holding him back while Yaten
casually sipped his tea. "I dare you to say that to my face!"
"Gladly,"
Keisha stood up glaring at Seiya straight in the face
but the door to the apartment opened the young outer senshi
walked in the room. She quickly sat down and smiled sweetly. 'He better be
lucky that I don't like fighting in front of children.'
"Aunty Serena were home!" Michelle rushed over and hugged her aunt
tightly. "I had fun at school today, and I painted a picture of a kitten
for you."
"That's wonderful Michi," Serena said smiling, she looked over noticing
that Susan and Alex were talking quietly with one another while taking off
their shoes. "Michi, sit here with my guests for
a moment, I'll be right back I need to talk to your sisters."
"Ok," Michelle
smiled brightly and wrapped her arms around Keisha's waist laying her head on
her lap. "Aunty Keisha, I didn't know you were friends with Uncle Seiya, Uncle Yaten, and Uncle Taiki."
"Unfortunately,"
Keisha mumbled she sent a glare in Seiya's direction.
Serena shook her head
and walked over to her two nieces. "Alex and Susan how was school?"
she asked smiling gently.
"It was fine!"
Alex said quickly.
"Alex, you should
tell Aunt Serenity now or else she'll find out sooner or later." Susan
said.
"What happened at
school Alex?" Serena asked gently.
"Some kids were
picking on Michelle and I got into a fight," Alex said quietly. "But
they deserved it because I wasn't going to let them get away with making her
cry and then the teacher caught me."
"Alex…" Serena
sighed deciding not to get angry with her niece since she was protecting
Michelle but that wasn't an excuse. "You can't get into fights with
the other children at school, I know it's hard to see someone picking on your
sister but you could've walked away from them."
"We tried to but
they wouldn't leave us alone," Alex said. "They were trying to get Michi to cry more and when Susan told them to stop they
pushed her down and she got hurt too."
Serena looked at the
small green haired child. "Susan is this true?"
"Yes, I was trying
to protect Michelle too by walking away but they ganged up on me," Susan
sighed softly. "I wish I would've had more time to get away…then Alex
wouldn't have gotten in trouble."
"I would be glad to
fight to protect my sisters," Alex declared. "I don't want anyone to
hurt them!" she heard Michelle's giggles and looked over at the couch
seeing Seiya was holding her again, and playing with
a doll. "That weird man is back…and he's holding Michi…"
she walked over to put a stop to it.
"I'll go stop
her," Susan said taking off after sister.
Serena smiled softly
giggling at how much Alex was reverting to the way she was before she had died
at the hands of Galaxia. Smiling she walked into the
living room to go spend time with her friends. Everything was right with the
world once again.
************4 Weeks
later********************
"Are you ok in
there Serena?"
Keisha stood outside of
the door to the restroom while she kept an eye on the young Outer Senshi who were sitting in a booth
nearby.
"I am fine,"
Serena called out feeling sick once again. "It's nothing to worry about I
only have a slight stomach bug."
"Ok…" Keisha
rolled her eyes and leaned against the wall waiting, she knew something like
this would happen. After Serena told her of the dream she had a month ago, it
only meant that her theory was correct. The sign of destinies beginning meant
that in time the other senshi would finally make a
return to Earth but as children of their leader and most trusted friend.
Serena walked out the
restroom and sighed. "It's nothing I probley ate
something bad the other day." She said.
"If you say
so," Keisha went quiet for a moment as a thought crossed her mind.
"You know what if this is a sign that you are pregnant with one of the
girls?"
"That isn't
possible," Serena said. "The only way that can happen is if it is the
time for them to be reborn."
"Well it might
be," Keisha explained. "After all you said that Amy would be the
first one to be reborn and she was born in September, and if I remember
correctly you did say you dreamt of finding her sailor crystal on
mercury."
"And that means…
"Serena groaned and leaned against the wall to avoid fainting from shock.
"I am going to the doctor to make sure."
"That is a good
idea, "Keisha said. "I'll look after the
girls for you today, so go ahead."
Serena nodded and took
off down the street towards the parking lot to her car. She began to wonder if
this was the start of her new destiny….to raise the other Senshi
as her own children.
*************************
"Keisha, there you
are."
Artemis leapt up onto
the counter of the café where the senshi of the sun
was sitting. He had recently started living with her since Mina was gone. Not
that he minded in the least since the senshi of the
sun treated him wit the utmost care. Though there
were times where he'd miss Mina but he knew that soon
he'd see her again. It was a pain for him however to stay quiet whenever people
who didn't know their secret was around.
"Oh Artemis, you
came to visit me today?" Keisha observed with a small smile, she picked up
the cat and cuddled him closely "I was wondering where you had run off to
as of late."
"I was with Luna
doing some research about the other senshi's rebirths
and we've detected that it's Serena's destiny to…"
Keisha cut Artemis off.
"To be the one to let them be reborn, I know all about it, I figured it
out when she got sick earlier, I may be a rookie senshi
but I know when someone's destiny is changing for the chance at a better
life." She began thinking again. "I do wonder one thing."
"What's that?"
"If this was all
part of Pluto's plan," Keisha admitted. "While I understand that the
destiny was for the other senshi to die in battle I
do not understand how it'll affect the future had we figured out a way to bring
them back right after Galaxia was defeated."
"Pluto was
following orders," Artemis said. "She told us that we'd face
hardships and that we'd have to protect Serena at all costs."
"I know,"
Sighing Keisha sat Artemis down on the floor. "Come on, I'll go get you
something to eat and we can talk more."
"Talk more to who
Keisha?"
Freezing up Keisha
slowly turned around coming face to face with Andrew watching her curiously.
'Did he hear me talking to Artemis? Oh god what if he heard him talk too? Damn
this isn't going to be easy to explain.' Smiling softly she said. "Oh, I
was just practicing for a play I am in at the local theatre, and I…well what
are you doing here?"
"I came up here for
a break." Andrew said. He noticed Artemis standing next to Keisha.
"Hey isn't that Mina's cat?"
"Oh yes, I'm taking
care of him since…well you know." Keisha said softly knowing that she
couldn't very well tell Andrew the truth of why she had Artemis. "So, um
you are on break how about I make something for you? And you can take it back
to the arcade and eat?"
"Keisha I'm not
stupid." Andrew said eyeing her. "I know that I heard that cat
talk."
"No…no…"
Keisha said shaking her head quickly. "He can't talk silly…he's a cat and
he can't talk at all right Artemis?"
Artemis meowed in
response though he looked up at Andrew who was staring at him intently. 'If he
heard me I am sunk…Luna will kill me if she knows I blew my cover."
Andrew rolled his eyes
and looked at Keisha again. "Keisha what's going on, I know that something's
strange is going on, So stop keeping secrets and tell
me."
"Fine," Keisha
looked down at Artemis. "Were busted Arty…let's tell him everything."
*****************************
"You told him you
were a senshi!?"
Serena glared at her
friend as she finished the laundry. "And he knows that Artemis can
talk."
"I didn't mean for
it to happen," Keisha whined. "It was an accident and how was I
supposed to know that he was standing right there for the whole conversation!
But don't worry I didn't tell him that you were Sailor Moon or anything, we
only said the others were senshi."
"Uh-huh,"
Serena shook her head. "You didn't tell him everything did you?"
"Well…I sort of
mentioned that my destiny was to protect a moon princess and that I needed to
make sure that the others were reborn." Keisha leaned against the wall and
asked. "So, did you find out why you were so sick earlier?"
Serena tensed up and
blushed softly. "Yes…I'm pregnant." She said softly. "I guess
Amy's going to be reborn."
Keisha giggled.
"How wonderful, I so think we should go shopping to totally make her
nursery all blue and pretty, so when are you going to tell Darien?"
"When he comes home
tonight," Serena said smiling.
"Ooohh, so you'll be all lovey dovey,"
Keisha said giggling. She looked up at the ceiling. "You know what, I am
actually glad that I told someone that I was a senshi,
it was a pain to keep it a secret when you and I are the only two left. I mean
don't get me wrong I do like having the Starlights
around but they never hang out with us too often unless Seiya
pops up at random times."
Serena giggled shaking
her head; she sat down the clothing basket and asked. "Hey Keke, can I tell you something?"
"What's up
Sere?"
"I'm worried."
"Worried about
what?"
Serena went silent and
sat down, since she found out that, she was pregnant and that her destiny was
to be a mother to the other senshi. It was scary to
say the least, before she was in charge of leading them to victory against evil
but now, she was to raise them and make sure they followed the path she'd set
out for them. "What if I'm not a good mother to the others?"
"Eh? You're worried
about that?" Keisha asked in surprise. "Sere, I can't believe you're
worrying so much. You are a loving and kind person, not to mention that you are
doing a great job of taking care of the outers. I think you are worrying for
nothing and if you need help you have Darien, Me and needless to say the Starlights here to help you. So don't worry ok?"
"I guess you're
right," Serena smiled softly feeling a little better though she still
worried a lot more. Looking up at Keisha her eyes glinted dangerously.
"But you have to babysit all of the others when they're reborn as
punishment for revealing your secret."
"Aww come on Sere, that's not fair!" Keisha wailed.
"It wasn't my fault!"
***********************
"Do we really have
to be here Aunty?"
Alex pouted while
kicking her feet against the metal leg of the bench; she frowned in disgust at
the thought of shopping.
"We need to get
Michelle a new pair of shoes," Serena said, she had took the young outers
out shopping as promised when she picked them up from school earlier that day.
It was an uneventful day that is until they got to the shoe store.
"Why can't she wear
tennis shoes like me?" Alex questioned frowning.
"I don't want
tennis shoes!" Michelle whined, she stood up and walked over to the
shelves of shoes and saw a pair of marine blue strappy mary-janes
"Ooh, can I get these Aunty Serena?"
Looking at the shoes in
the box Serena held back a small giggle at how much
the shoes resembled the ones that Michelle had once worn when she was Sailor
Neptune.
"What's so funny
Aunty Serena?" Asked Michelle curiously.
"Oh nothing,"
Serena said quickly. "You just remind me of someone I knew."
"Really who?" Michelle asked eagerly.
"Someone from long
ago."
"You always say
that aunty!"
***********************
Serena arrived home with
the girls as she saw that Darien was home as well. She smiled for a moment
before she walked into the living room.
"I'm home!"
she called out cheerfully. "And I have some great news!"
Darien turned off the TV
and kissed Serena gently. "Welcome home meatball head, so what's the great
news?"
Serena blushed for a
moment and then looked up at Darien. "I'm pregnant!"
"You are?"
Darien smiled and kissed Serena again. "That's wonderful! It must mean
that one of the girls will be reborn right?"
Serena nodded. "Yes
and from the dream I had a few nights ago it's going to be Amy, I think we'll
need to start planning on decorating a nursery and I will definitely need to go
shopping."
"So what did the
girls think when you told them?" Darien asked nodding towards the room
where the three young outers were.
"I didn't tell them
yet," Serena said. "I wanted to tell you before I told them. That way
I can have moral support in case they don't take the news well."
"It's a good time
to tell them now," Darien said. "That way they will have time to get
used to the idea."
Serena nodded. "If
I know them they'll take it well."
**********************
Michelle began wailing
loudly when she heard the news. She hadn't expected the news.
"Don't cry
Michelle!" Serena said trying to calm the small child down. "It's not
so bad."
"Oh come on
Michelle give us a smile," Darien urged holding a stuffed bunny for the
child to calm down.
"But I don't want
to be forgotten!" Michelle wailed. "When the new baby comes I'll be
forgotten!"
"No you
won't," Serena said. "You will always be an important part of this
family and nothing will ever change that."
Michelle nodded and
wiped away her tears. "Ok Aunty Serena."
Serena smiled satisfied
that Michelle was going to get used to the idea. She looked over at Alex and
Susan who were quiet the whole time. "Are you both ok with the news?"
Susan nodded. "Of
course," She said. "I don't mind at all since it'll be fun to have
someone younger around."
"As long as it's
not a girly girl like Michelle," Alex piped up. "I want someone to
play baseball with and it would be better to have a boy around here. There is
way too much super girly princess on tv."
Serena rolled her eyes
knowing that Alex would be disappointed when she found out that it was another
girl. "Well with that settled we have months to prepare for the arrival of
the new baby."
The three girls nodded
and took off to their room leaving Serena and Darien alone.
"Do you really
think they'll get used to the idea?" Darien questioned.
Serena nodded.
"Well two out of three isn't so bad." She said. "I know Michelle
will have a hard time with this since she's used to being the youngest. But I
have faith that everything will turn out fine."
**********4 Months
later**************
Serena hung up the baby
clothes she had bought. She stopped for a moment and looked out the window and
reflected on the past few months; There hadn't been very much happening. She
had lived her life normally and spent most of her free time working on
preparing the nursery for Amy's arrival.
"Were home Aunty
Serena!"
Serena smiled and walked
out the nursery to greet her three nieces. She saw that they had arrived home
from school. "Welcome home girls," She said. "How was
school?"
Michelle giggled and
held up a new painting she did. "I painted this today in art class, it's a
cat."
Serena took the painting
and hung it up on the wall where the other paintings that Michelle had did
hung. "Wonderful!" She said. "How about you
two?"
Susan sat her backpack
down on the floor and pulled out a spelling test. "I got an A+ on my
spelling test and our teacher assigned us to do book reports, I am going to do
mine on The Secret Garden."
"I'll help you with
it if you like." Serena then turned to Alex who was quietly stuffing a
note in her pocket. "Alex, how was your day?"
Alex smiled. "It
was fun and normal!" she said. "I didn't get in trouble for
fighting!"
Serena knew better as
she held out her hand. "Give me the note," she ordered.
Alex pulled the note
from her pocket and handed it over to Serena. "It wasn't my fault! There
is this new girl in class who likes picking on me! She called me a poor
tomboy."
Serena read the note and
then looked at Alex. "You threw a text book at her?" she questioned.
Alex nodded.
"Yes…" She sulked. "But I had a good reason to! She deserved
it!"
"You've been
suspended from school for a week." Serena said remaining calm instead of
yelling at the blonde child. "Don't think you will be enjoying the week
from school, you are grounded for one week, and you will not be allowed to
attend the baseball game on Saturday."
"That is not
fair!" Alex cried.
"Do you wanna make it another week?" Serena asked sternly.
"No ma'am."
Alex said softly stomping off to her room while mumbling how she was punished
for fighting.
"Aunty
Serena," Michelle said climbing on the couch next to her. "When is
Amy coming?"
Serena giggled at how
impatient Michelle was being. "She won't be coming for another five
months," she smiled.
"That is
forever!" Michelle whined.
"It's not too
long," Serena said. "You'll see the months will go by fast and then
Amy will be born."
"Ok…" Michelle
stood up from the couch and went to her backpack to get her art supplies.
"I am going to draw a pretty picture for Amy!"
"I am sure she'll
love it," Serena stood up from the couch and walked into the kitchen to
cook dinner.
*********************
"It's not fair!"
Alex kicked the wall in
her room and then sat on her bed with her arms crossed. She looked over at
Michelle who was playing with a tea set and stuffed animals. "What are you
so happy about?"
Michelle turned and
smiled at Alex. "I am entertaining my friends," She walked over to
her easy bake oven and pulled out a small pan, which contained a chocolate
cake. "It's fun."
Alex rolled her eyes and
walked over to the area where Michelle was and picked up a doll. "Your
dolls are dumb and I don't understand why you always play such girly games. Why
can't you be more like me?"
"I like
dolls!" Michelle cried. "And I don't like playing dumb boy games! You
are going to turn into a boy if you keep it up!"
Alex pushed Michelle
down on to the floor in anger as the smaller girl bumped her head on the table.
"I will not!"
Michelle teared up and began wailing loudly she took off out the
room and towards the kitchen.
"That was mean
Alex!" Susan cried in fury. "You shouldn't be angry because you got
punished!"
"Shut up!" Alex
screamed. "At least I Am not a goody two shoes
like you are!"
Susan shut her book and
got up from her desk. "It would help if you acted nicer towards everyone
instead of being a raging bully!"
"I am not!"
Alex cried as she got ready to hit Susan in the arm but Serena stopped her.
"Alex!" Serena
stood behind Alex holding Michelle who was holding an ice pack to her head and
sniffling softly. "Are you misbehaving again?"
"So what if I
am?" Alex asked rudely.
Serena sat Michelle down
and grabbed Alex as she swatted her across her backside a couple of times.
"Now apologize to both Susan and Michelle.
Tears were burning in
Alex's eyes and she turned towards her sisters. "Sorry." She said in
between sniffles.
"And just for being
rude to me you will sit in the kitchen where I can keep my eye on you."
Serena said.
"Yes ma'am…"
Alex followed Serena into the kitchen and sat down on one of the kitchen
chairs.
*******************************
"I'm home!"
Darien walked into the
apartment he saw Serena lying on the couch sleeping soundly. He smiled and
quietly walked over to her as he leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Serena opened her eyes
and yawned. "Hi Darien," She said softly. "What are you doing
home so early?"
"It's Seven,"
Darien said with a smile.
Serena sat up on the
couch. "I must've slept for a few hours instead of taking a fifteen minute
nap."
Darien chuckled and sat
next to her. "So how has your day been so far?" he asked.
"It's been fine, I
managed to get the clothes in the nursery hung up and I had to punish Alex
again." Serena let out a sigh.
Darien nodded.
"I'll go talk to her," he kissed Serena on the forehead. "And
then I'll be back in here to help you finish dinner."
Serena smiled at him.
"Dinner is finished and I'll go heat it back up." She smiled at
Darien and walked into the kitchen.
********5 months
later************
"Are you sure you
are ok to go tonight?"
Keisha was sitting on
the end of Serena and Darien's bed as she watched Serena put on a pair of
earrings.
"Of course I am
sure," Serena turned to look at her friend. "I am nine months
pregnant not dying."
"But what if you go
into labor during the conference?" Keisha questioned. "You know that
with your luck it could happen."
Serena glared at her.
"That won't happen; I know for a fact that Amy isn't ready to be born just
yet."
Keisha rolled her eyes.
"Ok… but keep your cell phone handy so you and Darien can call me whenever
you go into labor."
"I will."
Serena smiled and finished getting ready. "By the way Keisha thanks
for hanging out with me today."
Keisha waved her off.
"It's not a problem," she giggled softly. "It's been strangely
nice to have a day off from fighting youma, but I do
have to wonder what they're planning."
"Chill out
Keisha," Serena said not liking the way the conversation had shifted to senshi business. She hadn't fought in any battles recently
due to Luna forbidding her from fighting. But she understood it was for hers
and Amy's safety. But that didn't stop her from worrying about her friends who
often had a hard time defeating the youma. But they
made it through the battles. "I'm not worried about that and you
shouldn't worry either."
"Oh sorry, anyway
have fun at the conference and don't go into labor yet!" Keisha shrieked
and ducked as a pillow was hurled in her direction.
***************************
"So first we will
go to meet with Susan's teacher and discuss her grades and then we will go meet
with Michelle's teachers." Darien sighed. "Anything
else?"
"We have to meet
with Alex's teacher and the Principal about her behavior." Serena blew out
a breath. "This is going to be a fun night…"
"Aunty
Serena," Michelle said softly. "You will get to see my paintings and
see what I am working on in my class right?"
Serena nodded. "Of course Michelle." She said with a smile as
they made their way to Susan's classroom.
"Welcome you must
be Susan's guardians." The teacher Mr. Kitazawa smiled warmly. "Have
a seat and we'll discuss Susan's progress.
Serena and Darien both
took seats in the chairs that were in front of Mr. Kitazawa's desk.
"I must say that
Susan is a very bright student and she turns in her homework on time." Mr.
Kitazawa pulled out a folder containing Susan's graded papers. "She is a
joy to have in class and she gets along with everyone."
Serena and Darien both
smiled in pride.
"I am very
confident that if Susan keeps up with her grades and school work she'll be
eligible to be an honor student." Mr.Kitazawa
said. "Keep encouraging her to do her best to excel."
"We will."
Darien said with a smile.
Serena nodded in
agreement and stood up as well. "It was nice meeting you." She said
as they walked out the door to the classroom and headed off to the next
classroom, which was Michelle's class.
"I can't wait until
you see all the art I did," Michelle giggled. "I did a lot of
paintings!"
Serena giggled.
"I can't wait to see them." She said stopping in front of the
door. "Is this your classroom?"
Michelle nodded.
"Yes!" she opened the door and saw that the classroom was full of
parents with their children looking at the artwork on the walls and talking
with her teacher.
"Look! Look!"
Michelle pulled Serena and Darien over to the wall where her paintings hung.
"I did that one of our family!"
Serena smiled. "You
are an excellent artist." She said to Michelle.
Michelle smiled and
grabbed Darien's hand. "Come on Uncle Darien I want you to see our class's
pet!"
Darien nodded and
followed Michelle. "Serena you talk to her teacher." He said.
"Don't worry I
will." Serena said walking towards the desk where the teacher was waiting;
she bumped into a woman with red hair. "Oh excuse me."
The woman turned and
glared at Serena her orange red eyes reflected hatred and anger. "Why
don't you watch where you are going brat?" she hissed.
Serena gasped out when
she saw that the woman resembled someone she had defeated a long time ago…Queen
Beryl. She didn't say a word as she walked off to speak with Michelle's
teacher.
The woman stared after
her for a moment before turning to tend to her children who were bragging to
other students about things they had.
*******************************
"This is the last
place where we have to go."
Serena looked down at
Alex who was sulking already at the thought of what her teachers and Principal
wanted to talk to her Aunt and Uncle about.
'Please let something interrupt their meeting.' Alex prayed silently hoping for a
miracle or at least some kind of distraction.
"Don't worry Alex
everything will be fine," Serena smiled gently at the little girl.
"I'm sure it's nothing too bad."
Alex sighed.
"Ok…"
They entered the
Principal's Office and saw that Alex's teacher Ms. Moreno was standing next to
the desk.
"Welcome Mr. and
Mrs. Chiba." Principal Nakano greeted. "Have a seat and we shall
begin the conference."
Serena and Darien took
seats on the chair and smiled at the Principal as Alex sat next to Serena in
another chair.
"So how has Alex
been in her class?" Serena asked.
"Her school work is
ok but I am concerned about her behavior and how she interacts with other
students."
"We understand that
Alex can be a handful but we are working on her behavior towards others."
Darien said.
"And she is always
punished whenever she brings a note home." Serena added.
Ms. Tachikawa
nodded. "However I am concerned about how she bullies two other
students."
"Bullying two other
students?" Serena asked. "She's never told me about that and I think
we would've been informed about it by a school official."
The door opened as the
same woman Serena had ran into earlier walked in with
two of her children.
"It's you
again!" The woman screamed pointing at Serena. "I knew you were the
mother of this troublemaking brat!"
"Trouble making
brat?!" Serena cried out in
anger. "I'll have you know that my Alex is not a trouble maker!"
"Well my little
Yuko and Ruru aren't troublemakers either!" The
woman snapped. "You should really reevaluate your parenting skills!"
"Calm down
ladies." Principal Nakano said. "This is not a place for argument; this
is to help settle the fraction between your children."
"Fine…" The
woman sat down and sent a glare in Serena's direction.
"We have to come up
with a solution on how to deal with this situation." Principal Nakano
said.
"I say we expel the
blonde trouble maker." The woman said. "That will help my kids to not
deal with riff-raff."
"How about we expel
your brats?" Serena said. "After all I am sure they bully poor Alex everyday and she only defends herself and another thing I
really think you should watch what you say about my niece! She is a good kid
and doesn't deserve to be bullied by your spoiled, rotten…."
Serena stopped in mid sentence as she felt pain go through her. "I would
continue this conversation but I am going into labor."
With that Serena and her
family walked out the office leaving Mr. Nakano, Ms. Tachikawa
and the woman staring after them.

"I can't take this
anymore! Someone knock me out!"
Serena let out a shriek
of pain as she felt the contractions get more intense. She had been in labor
for six hours straight.
"Serena relax," Darien said kissing her on the forehead.
"Everything will be ok, just think of this as a part of your
destiny."
"I'll show you
destiny if you don't' keep quiet!" Serena snapped glaring at him. "You
try giving birth and see how calm you are!"
Darien backed away from
Serena as the doctor walked into the room.
"How are we
doing?" The doctor asked with a smile.
"Oh everything is
fine and dandy….It couldn't go any smoother." Serena said in sarcasm.
"Does it look like I am ok!?"
"Everything seems
to be in order and you are ready to push." The doctor said getting ready.
Serena glared at the
doctor as she did as she was told and began pushing. She let out a pained
scream as she pushed one last time and the sound of crying filled the room.
"It's a girl!"
the doctor said with a smile as the nurse took the baby to
cleaned.
Serena had collapsed on
the pillows of the bed and smiled softly as the nurse brought the baby over to
her.
"Here is your new
daughter. " The nurse said.
Serena looked down at
the baby in her arms. The child had a patch of blue hair on her head and her
blue eyes were looking up at her parents. On her forehead was a small glowing
symbol of Mercury.
"Welcome to the
world little one," Serena said softly as she kissed the baby on the
forehead. "My Little Amy.
