I love this song, but it's so sad (starts crying). If you haven't listened to this song I highly recommend that you do! Look it up on YouTube or something. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one-shot!

Every Other Friday
its toys and clothes and backpacks
Is everybody in?
Ok lets go see dad
Same time in the same spot
Corner of the same old parking lot
Half the hugs and kisses
There are always sad
We trade a couple words and looks and kids again
Every Other Weekend
Usagi put on a fake smile before turning to her two children. "Okay, does everyone have their seatbelts on?" She asked.
"Yes mom." The two replied in unison.
"Good." She started to back out of the driveway and then left for the park. Tears threatened to spill as they neared their destination; just like they did every other weekend and she sucked them up just like she had for the past few years. The hole in her chest only grew bigger and bigger, never ceasing the merciless pain that had plagued her ever since he announced that he wanted a divorce. Everything had fallen apart since then and seemed to only get worse as time passed by. It didn't help that she had to see his face every two weeks when they traded off their children. His eyes were emotionless until he saw their children running towards him with open arms and it nearly broke her heart. She was even starting to become jealous of her own kids.
She parked in the parking lot and looked out to the car that was across from hers'. He was leaning against his car with his hands in his pockets. The two children hopped out of the car and ran to their father to hug him. A warm smile broke across his face and he hugged them tightly. Usagi took a deep breath then got out of the car and started taking out her kids' stuff out of the back. He let go of the kids as she came up to them and he took all the stuff from her arms. Usagi trembled slightly when he felt his skin brush on hers' and felt the tears come on again.
"Mommy, is there something wrong?" Chibi-Usa asked noticing the hurt expression on her mother's face.
"No, there's nothing wrong." Usagi lied with a smile. She leaned down and pulled the two into her arms. "Be good okay? Don't cause any trouble for daddy." She said.
"We won't mommy." Kaitou replied.

Every Other Weekend
Very few exceptions
I pick up the love we made in both my arms
It's movies on the sofa
Grilled cheese and cut the crust off
"But that's not the way mom makes it daddy" breaks my heart
I miss everything I use to have with her again
Every Other Weekend
Mamoru watched as Usagi hugged their children and whispered to them. His heart plummeted when he saw the pain that filled her blue eyes and he wanted nothing more than to run to her and hold her in his arms. God how he missed her, he missed everything about her, her hair, her eyes, her kisses, her love… everything. Everyday he wondered why he had made such a horrible decision. He loved her more than life itself, but what had pushed him to do this? He wished he could take it all back and pull her into his arms and tell her that everything would be okay. Nothing was ever the same again with her gone.
(Mamoru)
But I can't tell her I love her
(Usagi)
I can't tell him I love him
(Mamoru)
Cause there's too many questions and…
(Both)
Years in the car
(Usagi)
So I don't tell him I miss him
(Mamoru)
I don't tell her I need her
(Both)
She's/He's over me, that's where we are
(Mamoru)
So we're as close as we might ever be again
(Both)
Every Other Weekend
Usagi glanced up to see Mamoru watching them. She kissed her children's foreheads and ushered them to his car. "Go on now, go have fun with daddy." She said.
"Okay, bye mommy!" They both said before running past they're dad and hopping into the backseat of his car.
"Bye." She said with a small smile. "Well, I better get going…" She turned away and started to walk towards her car, but Mamoru grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. His head rested on top of hers' and tightened his grip on her. "Mamoru?"
"Don't leave me…" He whispered. "…Usako."
(Usagi)
Every Other Saturday
First thing in the mornin'
I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away
I know why, but I don't know why
We ever let this happen
Fallin' for forever was a big mistake
There's so much not to do, and all day not to do it in
Every Other Weekend
She gasped at the nickname and felt the tears coming on. "Mamo-chan…" She whispered as she cried for the first time in years.
(Mamoru)
Every Other Sunday
I empty out my backseat
While my children hug their mother in the parking lot
We don't touch
We don't talk much
Maybe goodbye to each other
Then she drives away with every piece of heart I've got
I re-convince myself we did the right thing
Every Other Weekend
"I love you so much, Usako. Please forgive me." He pleaded. She turned so she was facing him and she rest her head on his chest.
"Oh Mamo-chan…" She sighed.
(Mamoru)
So I can't tell her I love her
(Usagi)
I can't tell him I love him
(Mamoru)
Cause there's too many questions and…
(Both)
Years in the car
(Usagi)
So I don't tell him I miss him
(Mamoru)
I don't tell her I need her
(Both)
She's/He's over me, that's where we are
(Mamoru)
So we're as close as we might ever be again
(Both)
Every Other Weekend
(Mamoru)
Yeah for fifteen minutes we're family again
(Usagi)
God I wish that he was still with me again
Mamoru stared into her eyes and cupped her chin. Slowly, he tilted her head up and pressed his lips to hers'. He broke the kiss and smiled at her. "I love you, Usako." He said.
"I love you, too, Mamo-chan." She replied back.
"See? I told you!" Chibi-Usa said. "Now pay up." She put her hand out. Kaitou muttered curses as he pulled out his money and handed it to his sister. "Thank you." She said with a smile.
"So, does that mean we're a family again?" Kaitou asked.
"Yep!" Chibi-Usa replied happily. "There's going to be a big wedding and everything! And I'll be the flower girl." She sighed dreamily.
Kaitou rolled his eyes. "Girls." He groaned.
"Mamo-chan, I think somebody's watching us." Usagi giggled as she pointed to their giddy children sitting in the backseat of the car.
"I don't care; they can watch all they want." He said before kissing her again.
"EWWW!!!" Chibi-Usa and Kaitou cried as they shielded their eyes.

I don't what made me want to write this, but I did. It's probably because I listened to the song way too much, or I'm just a sucker for sad stories, either way it's been made. So, I hope you guys enjoy it and please review!
