XII. Little Earth

The time had arrived. He knew it. He could feel it. It wasn't just the date he knew it was to come. It was something deeper in him that told him he was about to arrive to his life once and for all.

He turned around on his bed, the silence of night deep in the room as his very pregnant wife slept peacefully besides him.

He smiled, remembering how for many years he had dreamt of the day where that little boy who had once entered his life finally and definitely entered his life again.

Flashback…

The sun shone, as the group of girls stood watching Mamoru and Kai.

"I'll miss you, Papa." The little boy whispered, holding tight to him.

"I'll miss you too, kiddo." Mamoru whispered back, as Usagi and Chibi-Usa said bye to each other.

Sooner than what he liked, though, the little boy got free from his hold and went ot stand besides his sister, clutching the Teddy Bear he was so fond of.

"Bye." He whispered with a small smile as his sister took out a key and held it high in the sky. Soon the two children had disappeared.

"I'll miss them." Usagi whispered, leaning into him, as he held her close to him.

"Yeah." He whispered, already wanting to have the small boy who had changed his life forever.

"It's good they'll be with us someday." Makoto said, not knowing the impact those words had on the young man.

End Flashback…

It was about two years later, not knowing a thing from the future, that Usagi and Mamoru had moved together at the same apartment Mamoru and Kai had lived for a couple of months.

A year later, for her twenty-first birthday, they had walked down the isle uniting their life on an unbreakable vow.

A sigh and a swift move on the bed broke his thoughts, as he looked down at the sleeping blond. Somehow, he always knew when the time was coming. It had always been the same.

Getting up from the bed and putting a robe over him, he walked out of the huge room.

Being King Endymion did had its ups, but also it's lows. For one thing, he now understood why he would send Kai to the past. It was a simple thing that his other children happened to go through. Lack of time from their parents.

Silently, he walked towards Small Lady's room. The young toddler was fast asleep, as she should be. Her rosy skin seemed to shine through the darkness. He smiled and leaned forward to kiss her forehead, rearranging her blankets a bit as she moved out of the place.

Entering another room, he gave a low chuckle. He knew not even a trumpet could wake this child. He had been quite the surprise.

A year later after their wedding, Usagi had become pregnant. Everyone thought it was Chibi-Usa who was going to be born, and according to the doctor's calculations, the baby was due to arrive the same week as Usagi's birthday.

It was a big surprise when two weeks before her birthday, Usagi found herself giving birth. It was a bigger surprise when instead of having a pink haired baby girl placed in his arms, he found himself holding a blond baby boy. A baby with Usagi's hair and his eyes.

It had been a shock for him and for the girls. Usagi's parents had thought it was crazy that everyone was so sure the baby was going to be a girl, and yet, they opened this little boy with more than open arms.

Kenji Mamoru Chiba was a mixture of both parents not only in looks, but also in personality.

Due to his birth, everyone thought the future had changed. And though Mamoru's heart ached for the little boy he had met a couple of years before, he would never have changed his boy…his first born.

Chuckling, Mamrou walked to the now nine year old and rearranged him. Just like his mother, the boy was a mess in his sleep. The pillows were thrown on the floor, the blanket, instead of covering him, where covering the floor and for a reason the kid always ended up sleeping with half his body out of bed.

After tucking the kid again, he exited Kenji's room to enter yet another room. Two years after Kenji's birth, Usagi had given birth again. This time, it was a girl. Yet, not the girl everyone had thought would be. Black hair, just like her Daddy's, and blue eyes, just like her Mommy's. The girl was nothing like her parents in personality, but in looks took more to her father.

Ikuko Eileen Chiba had been born. And this time, somehow, the senchi and them had convinced themselves that the future had changed.

Smiling, he walked towards the seven year old bed. There was nothing to arrange, since the only thing moving was her little chest as she breathed in and out. She barely moved in her sleep…in fact, she barely moved at all time. She was always quiet, reserved, doing as told at all times. Such a difference from her other two siblings.

And yet, a year later after her birth, the earth had been attacked, sending everyone to a deep sleep. It had been a thousand years later that Usagi, or more likely, Princess Serenity had woken up and transformed to Neo Queen Serenity. After he woke up, he had changed from Mamrou Chiba to Prince Endymion, to finally change into Neo King Endymion.

Together, with the help of the Silver Crystal and the Golden Crystal, they had woken the world yet again. That was, those that had not died during the attack. As a result, Crystal Tokyo was created, lead by the still young couple.

After waking up, the senchi took their posts as protectors, yet, most of the time they were traveling in diplomatic situations.

The world had accepted their reign, and so, peace had been returned as they slowly rebuilt everything.

Two years later, yet another baby was born, this time being the pink haired 'brat' they had been waiting for a long time.

Because she had been born directly to the Neo Queen and King, she had been named, by the world and according to the law, the Crowned Princess. For now, though, the three and a half year old barely knew what the great commotion was. And as far as her parents where concerned, each and every one of their kids where the same.

Of course, Mamoru thought with a chuckle as he walked around their private chambers, Rei had not let Usagi leave it down, telling her with every birth she had, that she took very seriously to that of being a bunny.

Yet, he didn't regret a thing of what had trespassed. He soon found himself standing before a table where his Usa-ko insisted of having pictures. Seeing as all their possessions previous to the attack had been lost, Usagi had painted all the memories she had of those times.

She was very talented, and had come to paint pictures of Kenji and Ikuko as babies. But then, there was another one which he admired the most. Standing on the apartment where he had lived with Kai, was the four of them, Usagi holding Kenji and him holding Ikuko, a Christmas tree standing at the back.

It surprised him the details the picture entailed. It was as if she had drawn it while watching the original picture, their eyes seemed to shine.

It was unnerving how no one knew them as Usagi and Mamoru any longer. Even their closes aquaintences called them Serenity or Endymion. Usagi, though, still called him Mamo-chan on private, and he could only refer to her as Usa-ko or Usagi, though on public he always called her Serenity.

Sighing once again, he moved to his room, to find a sweaty, smiling and very awake Usagi.

"It's time."

OoO

He smiled down at the bundle in his arms. Even as a new born, he looked like a carbon copy of him.

He was finally here.

Oh, he was sure his job was not cut short. Being father of three was already a handful, and he was more than sure that the little one in his arms now was going to be more than a handful.

But yet, the grin in his face just grew bigger, as he heard how the news of the birth of Kai Endymion was going all around the world.

He looked back to a peacefully slumbering Usagi…or now known as Serenity.

He looked down at the stirring baby once again, before placing him on the bassinet. He softly stroked the baby's cheek as he watched the sun coming up in the horizon.

He leaned forward, recalling how Usagi had once called the once unborn baby.

"Welcome home, Little Earth."
