OKAY, so this is a series of long-ish drabbles with Mamoru and Usagi in which Usagi is pregnant with Chibusa and things are smushy and cute because I like things that are smushy and cute. AND it's been awhile but I'm pretty sure that Usagi gets pregnant with Chibs when she's Neo-Queen Serenity, but for this story.. no.. heh. I just think 20th century Usagi and Mamoru preparing for baby Chibs would be so freaking cute. Cause they're not royalty and they're not as wise as Endymion and Serenity so they would be like "OH MY GOODNESS BABY!"
~~ALSO VERY IMPORTANT~~
I tried to educate myself via Google on how bathrooms vs. toilet rooms in Japan (I KNOW, STUPID, BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT DETAIL TO ME). I live in 'Murica, but I know that in some countries the toilets and bathrooms are seperate, and I needed to educate myself on something before I went head first into it.
Very important.
Also have you ever googled 'how long does it take a pregnancy test to develop' and then leave it alone, and then get caught by your mother.. cause I did. I had to convince her I wasn't pregnancy, Usagi-chan was.
That went well.
Usagi dragged herself up the stairs to Rei's temple. Saying she dragged herself up the stairs wasn't an understatement. The 21-year-old was feeling incredibly sick as of late, and if it wasn't for her proneness to loneliness and Mamoru's late night shifts at the hospital, she would have called Rei and told her she couldn't make it to their meeting.
Well, it wasn't quite a meeting since there hadn't been any threatening villain other than the occasional youma for awhile now. It was really just an excuse for Minako, Rei, and Usagi to get together and pig out.
Ami was in America studying and Makoto was incredibly busy with her bakery.
Minako, Rei, and Usagi were the only three who attended the meetings.
She finally made it to the top step, sighed heavily and walked straight to Rei's room without even knocking. She wasn't surprised to see Minako and Rei already pigging out and Luna begging them to stop gossiping and to listen to what she had to say.
Rei looked up and smiled at Usagi. "Ah, you're late Usagi-chan.. like always."
Usagi rolled her eyes and waved her hand slightly. She had gotten slightly more punctual with age, but she still terribly tarty on occasions. She had considered herself more mature, but she was still Usagi.
That means she was just as hungry, just as sleepy, and still enjoyed video games and manga.
"Yeah, yeah." Usagi mumbled plopping next to Minako, and lying her head down.
Minako and Rei were taking success slowly. Minako had started recording some songs and Rei was working extra hard at her career as a businesswoman but they still managed to stay around.
She was happy for Ami and Mako-chan, but the selfish part of Usagi missed them terribly.
Minako and Rei looked at each other and then back at Usagi, they were absolutely flabbergasted.
"Usagi-chan, we have a whole plate full of yummy deserts and you're not even gonna touch them?" Minako questioned.
"I think maybe this is the work of a new enemy. They took our Usagi-chan, and we have to get her back." Rei said jokingly, she pointed at Usagi and raised her voice. "Show yourself evil doer, or I will chastise you in the name of Mars."
Usagi looked up and glared at Rei, she didn't even have the nerve to stick her tongue out.
"And she isn't even sticking her tongue out at you, Rei-chan. She must not be Usagi!" Luna said.
"I really just don't feel well, okay?" Usagi mumbled shaking her head. "I'm not even hungry."
Minako lifted Usagi's head up and gently rested the back of her hand on Usagi's forehead. "You don't have a fever. How long have you been sick, did it just start today?"
Usagi lifted her head up and thought about it for a second before answering.
"Well, not really, I was sick yesterday too. It just became worse this morning, I threw up and I'm just really exhausted." Usagi pouted. "I don't like being sick and Mamo-chan isn't home so he can't take care of me!"
Rei and Minako looked at each other with wide eyes and then back at Usagi.
"Usagi," Rei started slowly, "have you and Mamoru-san, you know.."
"What?" Usagi asked.
"Had sex." Minako stated rather bluntly.
"Minako!" Rei gasped.
"Well, sorry Rei-chan, they're a married couple so might as well be blunt with it." Minako shrugged.
Usagi's face turned a deep shade of red, and she quickly looked down and fiddled with her hands. "Well.. I mean.. y-yeah.. we're married. So yeah." She stammered. "Why do you ask?"
Rei smacked her forehead so hard the sound resonated through the room. "Usagi you baka!"
"I don't understand.." Usagi trailed off.
"Usagi-chan, are you sure you aren't pregnant?" Minako giggled.
Usagi didn't say a word. She didn't really consider that possibility. Sure, she and Mamoru had been trying for months but they hadn't had much luck. They had decided that Chibiusa would come when she came and they shouldn't rush it. So they had taken a break on trying and Usagi hadn't thought it would happen until the creation of Crystal Tokyo.
"Oh my goodness.." Usagi smiled, she could have cried. "Yeah, I could be!"
"There's only one way to find out!" Minako stood up and lifted her hand into the air. "I, Minako Aino, will purchase a pregnancy test for you Usagi-chan. You will pee on the magic stick and we will find out!"
"Minako, just go." Rei muttered. "We'll be here, try to hurry."
"I'm on it!" Minako yelled triumphantly before speeding out of the room.
It was almost an hour before Minako returned, and Rei could have killed her. That means she was stuck with a very anxious Usagi for an hour, and Rei could barely deal with a non-anxious Usagi, so one could only imagine how terrible an anxious one would be.
Rei had to constantly remind herself that her best friend could very well be pregnant with a certain pink haired baby, so shaking her wasn't exactly the healthiest thing for her or the baby.
Minako finally returned, out of breath, with a shopping bag in her hand.
"Minako-chan, what took you so long!" Usagi practically screeched.
"Heh.." Minako giggled awkwardly, scratching the back of her hand. "I.. uh.. thought it would be a good time for an autograph session, I mean I'm soon on my way to be a famous idol you know."
Rei had to hold onto Usagi's arm to keep her from ripping Minako's head off.
"Anyway," Minako retrieved the desired object from the bag and handed it to Usagi, "I bought the magic pee stick. So, you know, go pee on it and we'll see if Chibiusa is on her way so we can spoil her rotten."
"Yeah." Usagi nodded, she looked up wearily. "Only I don't have to pee."
Rei once again smacked her forehead. She was definitely going to give herself a concussion before the day ended. She might have to admit herself into a psych ward if she had to spend another moment with the blonde dream team.
"I have thar covered, sweet Usa-chan." Minako smiled, she pulled out a horrible carbonated beverage from the bag and handed it to Usagi. "I knew your bladder wouldn't cooperate."
It took about an hour of Usagi downing that horribly carbonated beverage before she actually had to use the toilet. Minako and Rei escorted their friend to the toilet and waited anxiously in the hallway.
"Uh.. guys.." Usagi called.
"Yeah!" Minako and Rei said in unison.
"What side do I pee on?" She asked.
That time, Minako and Rei smacked their foreheads at the same time.
"I'll go help her." Minako mumbled, her face turning a bright shade of red. "Usagi-chan, I'm only doing this because you're my best friend and future Queen. If it wasn't for that, you would be on your own."
It took a bit for Minako to instruct Usagi how to pee on the thing, because Minako had decided to do it with her eyes closed. After that they waited in the hallway. Usagi sit between Minako and Rei who held her hands.
It only took five minutes but it was probably the longest five minutes of Usagi's life.
But it was totally worth it. Minako and Rei swore to themselves they had never heard their best friend squeal so loud. Usually her squealing would be something the would groan about, but not this time.
They were too happy.
She ran into their arms and jumped up and down and they managed to jump with her. Minako had happy tears streaming down her face, and Rei did as well even though she would like to deny it.
"I'm s-so happy!" Usagi squealed. "Oh my goodness, I'm going to be a mother! I'm going to have a baby, Mamo-chan and I are going to have a baby! Mamo-chan and I are going to be parents.. Mamo-chan!"
"What about him?" Minako smiled.
"I gotta tell him!" Usagi exclaimed. "I have to tell him now!"
"Usagi-chan, he's working right now. Can't it wait until he gets home?" Luna suggested.
In their excitement, they had forgotten about the two felines who were anxiously awaiting the news as well.
"But he doesn't get home until really late, and I have to tell him now.. he would want to know!" Usagi explained. "I-I have to go and tell him."
"If it means that much to you, I'll take you Usa-chan." Minako winked.
"M-Minako-chan, are you sure you're the one who should drive.. I mean you're not exactly the best-" Artemis said uneasily before Minako sent him a death glare that stopped him mid-sentence.
"I have to go!" Usagi exclaimed, grabbing Minako's hand and pulling her out of the hallway. "Come on Minako-chan!"
"H-Hey I want to go too!" Rei yelled.
It hadn't taken very long to get to the hospital because of Minako's less than safe driving. Rei had to constantly remind her that Usagi was pregnant and they were all going to die if she kept driving at the speed she was driving.
But, alas, they got there alive. Usagi had practically jumped out of the car, leaving the two girls behind. She knew exactly the floor Mamoru worked on; she had grown accustomed to delivering burnt cookies to the Mamoru and the staff on rare occasions.
They thought it was endearing, and Usagi was in their good graces.
She stopped at the front desk where a receptionist was working. She must have been new, because Usagi had never seen her before. She was typing away and she only looked up when a very breathless Usagi slid to a stop in front of the desk.
"I need to see my husband!" Usagi gasped.
"Okay, if you would only give me his name and I can tell you what room he is in.."
"No, my husband is a doctor and I need to see him right away, okay?" Usagi explained. "I just need to know what room he is working in so I can talk to him it's really important."
"Uh.. I don't know if I can do that.." The receptionist gulped.
"Ahh.. If it isn't Chiba-san's sweet wife!" An old nurse approached. "More cookies?"
"No, sorry. I need to talk to my Mamo-chan right now it's really important and I-"
"Well he's just in the last room on your left." She smiled gently. "Straight down there."
"Arigato!" Usagi smiled.
The the receptionist and the old nurse watched as the young woman ran down the hallway.
"Is she allowed to..?" The younger one trailed off.
"She is a sweet young woman," The older woman mused. "And just look at her face, she's glowing, I'm sure she has some big news for that husband of hers."
"How sweet." The younger woman smiled.
"Yep, and I guess that means I won the bet." The old nurse chuckled.
"What bet?" The young receptionist asked.
"I bet that it would only take a year for those two to get pregnant, and it looks like I was right." The older nurse smiled triumphantly.
"Well your vitals look good, and your fever has went down." Mamoru explained to the old man in front of him, he looked down at the clipboard. "I believe you're ready to go home tonight."
"Ah.. That's great, really great-" The old man went to say, but he was cut off my a loud, shrill voice.
"Mamo-chan!" Usagi wrapped her arms around her husband, practically pushing him onto the ground with all of her weight.
The young man looked down at the woman, shocked. It wasn't unlike her to come to the hospital while he was working, but she had never actually interrupted his discussions with a patient.
"U-Usako?" He gasped.
"M-Mamo-chan I have great, great news.. Mamo-chan, great news!" Usagi exclaimed.
"I'm really sorry about this." Mamoru explained to the old man. "Usako, I'm talking to a patient right now. Couldn't this great news until I came home tonight? I thought we agreed that you wouldn't interrupt my work."
"You don't understand Mamo-chan." Usagi smiled. "I was at the temple today, right? And I was feeling really bad and I threw up this morning, right? So anyway I just didn't feel like eating, okay? Anyway, Rei-chan asked me if you and I had.. you know.."
"Usako, just spit it out." Mamoru sighed.
"Mamo-chan, I'm pregnant!" Usagi giggled, tears threatening to fall from her eyes once again.
"That's great Usako, but I'm in the middle of.." Mamoru stopped and processed what she had said. He slowly looked down at Usagi, and the clipboard that he was clutching fell from his hands and his mouth fell open. "You're.. pregnant?"
Usagi nodded enthusiastically.
"Oh my God, I'm going to be a father." Mamoru mumbled to himself. He looked at the old man in front of him who was smiling his earnest, and down to his beautiful wife. "I'm going to be a father!" He laughed.
"Usako!" He laughed again.
It was uncharacteristic for Mamoru to be so affectionate in public, but he found himself picking up his wife and spinning her. She giggled and he laughed, it was easily one of the happiest moments of his life.
"Oh, I shouldn't do that!" Mamoru said, placing her back on her feet. "I-I just, I love you so much.." He bent down and talked directly to her abdomen, "I love you both so much!"
"I'm so happy." She whispered.
"Me too." He nodded in agreement.
The two embraced each other, unaware that Minako, Rei, and a group of nurses had gathered outside the room. Minako and Rei were holding onto each other happily, and the nurses looked at the oldest nurse with eyes full of jealousy.
"Pay up." The older nurse giggled to her colleagues.
I have big plans, okay?
