The Pregnancy

This is a two shot of Serena's pregnancy

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailormoon

A/N: I know this varies from the timeline in both the anime/movie /manga. It's just a little fantasy of my own that originated from a "What if Darien and Serena had Rini before they became Neo-King and Neo-Queen of Crystal Tokyo...?"

"Darling, I just feel so tired nowadays easily. I just don't know why especially now that I have less to do at work." said Serena as she sat down on the couch beside her husband.

"Maybe you just need some extra rest." answered Darien.

"Maybe."

Two weeks later

"Muffin, I'm going to cook dinn-" called Serena from the kitchen when she cut herself off and Darien saw her rushing out of the kitchen, making a beeline for the toilet as he walked into the kitchen.

''Are you alright, Honey?" asked Darien worriedly as he helped Serena to hold up her hair to keep it out of the way of her vomit.

"Do I even look like I'm alright?" asked Serena, annoyed, once she was done with her vomiting.

"No. Maybe you should see a doctor or something."

"You know that I hate seeing the doctor..." groaned Serena.

"But you are sick!"

"But..."

"No buts. I think I will get a day off from work tomorrow to bring you to the doctor." Darien said with a firm voice. He was worried about his wife. She had not been looking her best lately. Of course she was still his sweet and beautiful Usako but she had been looking rather not herself lately, taking occasional naps and sometimes looked rather pale. "I am not going in for work while you are feeling unwell."

"No! Uh, I mean, no. I can go myself." Serena bit her lips as she took a deep breath. She loved her husband and knew that Darien loved her just as much. Sometimes though, he could be a bit too worrisome. He was progressing well in his career as a doctor and decided to pursue a doctorate in neruoscience where he was currently in his final works towards graduation. She did not want him skipping work just because she was feeling unwell from a slight flu bug.

"Are you sure? How will I know whether you went?"

"Fine. I will go to Ami's and when I arrive, I will get HER to call you to confirm that I've arrived, ok? Besides, don't you trust me?" Serena pouted.

Next day

"Ami! I've come to see you!" said Serena as she hugged her friend whom she did not have a chance to see for the last two months.

"And your reason being...?" asked Ami as she returned Serena's hug.

"This time it's not in the form of a girl visiting her good friend. This time it's in the form of a patient seeing a doctor."

"I see. Have a seat." said Ami as she offered her friend a seat.

"Can you help me to call Darien and tell him that I have arrived? You know what a worry-wart he is."

"All right. I'll do it after I examined you, ok?" laughed Ami.

"Ok." Serena relaxed into the chair beside Ami's desk. Ami observed Serena carefully while Serena leaned her head onto the back of the chair.

"Go on. Tell me what's wrong then."

"Oh Ami, I spent yesterday morning vomiting! I felt slightly better later but just the vomiting was enough to wear me out. I've been feeling so tired even without the vomiting though. I probably caught some flu bug or something."

"Let's see... your heartbeat seems to be quite normal and I don't think you have any bacteria infection...Serena, I'll do some tests to see what's wrong with you, ok?"

"Al-alright." stammered Serena. Even though it was her best friend who was treating her, she was still not really fond of visiting the doctor. Needles, medications and the word 'tests' were not really her best friends.

Half an hour later...

"So what's my problem?" Serena asked from her place on the couch in Ami's office.

"Hm.. I can't be sure yet until the tests results come out. Visit me two weeks from now and I'll confirm them with you, ok?"

"Two weeks? Alright." said Serena as she stood up to give Ami a hug before Ami ushered her out with a gleam in her eyes.

One week later

"Ami, I'm back!" said Serena as she entered her friend's office again after two long weeks of waiting for the test results. Her friend smiled and welcomed her with a hug.

"So how're my results?" asked Serena as she sat down.

"Well, there are not much to be said. The tests show that you are in good health and there was nothing wrong with you." said Ami as she tried to hide an excited smile.

"There was nothing wrong? How could that be? I have been vomiting and feeling so tired lately! There must either be a test that we missed out on or you, Ami, have for the first time in your life made an error in the diagnosis." said Serena indignantly.

"I did not say that I did not know why you were feeling that well. I just said that there was nothing wrong with you." said Ami with a gleam in her eyes. "Congratulations, Serena. You are pregnant!"

"I'm WHAT?!"

"You are pregnant. Aren't you supposed to be very happy and excited about it?"

"Yes, yes. I am.." with that, Serena fainted.

Two hours later, Serena woke up to find herself at home with Darien, whose lap she was sleeping on, talking on the phone.

"She just fainted after hearing her results?" Darien asked Ami who was on the other side of the line.

"So what're her results?"

"..."

"What do you mean you can't tell me and that I have to ask her myself! Is it something serious?!" asked Darien as he started to panick.

"Darien, just let Ami off the hook, ok? I'll tell you." said Serena as she sat up.

"Ami, she woke up. I will call you back later to find out what was wrong after I tend to her ok? Bye." said Darien as he put down the phone. "Sorry, Serena, for waking you up. So what're the test results? Ami wouldn't tell me about it and she said that you are the only one who can tell me. What was wrong? Is it really serious?" asked Darien worriedly.

"Nothing's ...What do you think about adding a new member to our family?"

"You mean you are..."

"Pregnant? Yes, I am pregnant."

With that, it was Darien's turn to faint. With a loud 'THUMP', Darien landed on the floor of their living room.

"Great, he just fainted at the news." said Serena sarcastically as she conveniently forgot that it was also her first reaction when she heard it.

From then on, once every month Serena, accompanied by Darien, went for her check-ups regularly. She could only go to Ami's to check because as the future Neo-Queen and the last princess of the Silver Millenium, her body is slightly different from normal people and so normal doctors would not know what to do with her. Of course that also meant that her mood swings were also more frequent and worst than that of normal women which poor Darien had to learn about after a painful lesson...

"Muffin! Can you get me ketchup chicken mix with durian flavoured ice cream and sour plum?" called Serena.

"But Serena, isn't that combination a ...um... a bit weird and aren't you scared that you might get diarrhoea?" commented Darien.

"Of course not! Just go and get it would you!" said Serena as she start to get annoyed.

"But..."

"Am I so ugly and fat now that you don't love me any more and so you won't even obey my little request?" asked Serena as all of a sudden her temper went down and her eyes start to get watery.

"No! I will never stop loving you, Serena. No matter how fat or ugly you might end up." said Darien as he hurriedly tried to comfort his wife and stop her tears.

All of a sudden the sobbing Serena turned into a fierce Serena who screamed, "Do you mean that I am getting ugly and fat now?" With that, she went into the kitchen and got out her weapons.

Before Darien could even finish his 'uh oh', she had hurled three knives, a pair of scissors, two plates and a bowl at him which he managed to avoid all thanks to his training from his past life. Darien was smiling at himself proudly, thankful for his previous trainings and recent practices and was giving himself a pat on the back when suddenly 'THUMP' Serena threw a chopping board at him and knocked him out before he could even see it. A swelling that was about two inches high started to develop. After seeing the damage she had done to Darien, Serena covered her mouth in shock and fell onto her knees sobbing, "I'm so sorry Muffin. I just can't help it. At least you weren't hurt very seriously, were you?" The only reply that she heard was a groan from her husband who was lying on the floor with a throbbing headache.

Mid June, 1 a.m. , Tokyo.

"Darling, wake up." Serena nudged Darien.

Darien just grunted and continued his sleep.

Serena tried again,"THE BABY IS COMING, UP THIS INSTANCE BEFORE I KILL YOU."

"WHAT? THE BABY IS COMING!" Darien suddenly woke with a start."What should I do?!"

"Just get the bag I prepared." said Serena as they got ready to leave for Tokyo Hospital.

"Breath in, breath out." coached the nurse, as she tended to Serena who was crying from the pain.

"I am trying! Argh! The pains are coming at 1 minute intervals!" screamed Serena.

"Serena, I know you can do it. You just need a little more push." said Ami with a comforting smile while she leaned over to check on the progress of the labour.

"Easy for you to say, Ami! You're not the one in- Ah!- labour now!" Serena gasped out as she tried to push with all the strength her body would allow.

"You can do it, Usako." said Darien encouragingly while wincing from the pressure that Serena was exerting on his wrist. In fact, he felt as if his wrist might break soon.

"You try doing this! This is all your fault! Without you, I won't be going through this!"

"Without me, you won't have a chance to see Rini!"

"Are you trying to be cheeky, DARIEN?"

After twenty hours of labour, Serena, Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and future Neo-Queen Serenity of Crystal Tokyo finally gave birth to a pink haired girl whom they named Rini Serenity Shields, the princess of the future Crystal Tokyo, with Darien, Prince Endymion of Earth, future King of Crystal Tokyo.
