Serena opens a bleary eye as she can hear her one month old twins once again wake up, casting about with her weary senses she realizes that Chris was at the Manor, the sisters must have called him, or he needed to check the book real quick. It was amazing how much time and demand that the twins took, she had never been so tired, it was even starting to get to Chris, and he was used to little sleep from demon hunting and leading the resistance against his brother. She stumbles wearily into the nursery and goes to Andy first, flinching at the decibels her daughter could reach. With a sigh she changes her son and then puts him back in his bassinet and deals with Rini next, then she gathers them both up and heads for the kitchen, she blinks, feeds the kids their morning formula, as she was way too tired to breast feed that early, and uses a transportation potion to get to the Manor. She stumbles into the kitchen and Piper blinks as she looks at her, " Serena, why are you here? "

" Need food, can't cook, last time I sensed him Chris was here, speaking of Chris, Chris, get down here now! " Serena replies.

The sound of orbs fills the air and Serena looks at him, " How can you go on so little sleep, I demand to know, now, either you cook for me or you take them and Piper cooks for me, those are your choices, Chris. "

Chris wisely takes his children as Serena collapses into a chair, " Piper, I implore of you, feed me. "

" What would you like? " Piper asks.

Serena sighs, " Would it be too much trouble double-chocolate, chocolate chip pancakes? "

" Half cup Dutch cocoa powder in a regular chocolate chip pancake recipe. " Chris supplies as he juggles both of his kids. Phoebe walks in then and takes Rini from him, cooing over her. Yep, his Aunt Phoebe was still the same, still cooing over babies, though he wasn't going to complain, as it meant that he only had to deal with Andy at the moment.

" Serena, you look exhausted. " Phoebe says.

" I know, I'm used to freaking sleeping until noon. I am so getting the spore back for this, I don't know how, but I will. She always starts it. " Serena states.

Chris grins, " Not my fault I come from a time where you have to practically go without sleep to survive. "

" Hello, I went with no sleep for basically two years, suffered from abuse from my own parents, and died three times already, so zip it, you haven't died once yet, Chris. " Serena retorts.

" It's stuff like that, that makes me very glad I had the life I did. " Paige says, wandering in, looking for her morning coffee hit.

Chris rolls his eyes as Serena gets her first hit of pancakes. After the first stack Serena felt slightly more alive and awake, " Keep 'em coming, Piper. My metabolism is like that of the Flash. "

Piper blinks, " How do you manage to cook for her every day? "

Chris smiles at this, " As I am under orders to always make enough for her I'm allowed to use my powers to help with this, doesn't hurt that the Sailor Pluto of my time gave me her powers, so an order from Ren clears me of personal gain. "

Piper blinks, " Well, that's one way around that, but wouldn't the Elders know who she is? "

" No, because the Planetary Queens and my Lunar ancestors got together and made it so they or no one else could screw with my life again. Of course, I will be doing everything in my power to keep Chris alive, as I do not want to raise twins alone. "

Chris blinks, " How are you going to do that? "

" Thousand years ago Hades was my father, the Greek and Roman pantheons had all their death related positions filled, so the Japanese pantheon took me in and I became the Shinimegami, with carte blanche access to every single heaven and hell in existence, generally stick to my father's realm though. " Serena states, " Plus, Lunarians can heal anything, including cursed wounds, never did teach the Elders how to do that. "

" Wait, Lunarians were the ones who taught the Elders? " Phoebe asks.

" Correct, the first Cosmos is actually above them and when I ascend I will be as well. Actually every Lunar royal is above them and if I get pissed enough at their actions then I will summon the Lunar ancestors, two of which are kings in a matriarchal kingdom due to their sisters being corrupt. " Serena remarks off-handedly.

Piper looks at her, " So your family in your first life was a lot like the Warren line? "

" Yes, it was, but we didn't feel men couldn't be trusted, we let their actions speak for them. " Serena states softly.

" How were the new rulers chosen? " Paige asks curiously.

Serena smirks, " The previous Queen's Silver Crystal and the Crescent Moon Wand, if either rejected the heir then every member of royal blood of the next generation was tested. You see the Silver Crystal is actually the Star Seed or life force of each Queen, my mother didn't have one, Grandma Sara's crystal actually reacted to me whom my mother was pregnant with. Grandma Sara eternally regretted that she didn't hold on to the throne until I was old enough. Beryl attacking when she did was a good thing, hell, if I could have talked to her alone I would have told her that she could have Cape Boy, I hated him, even then, he was a Man Whore. "

Phoebe blinks, " Okay, I take it you have a lot of unresolved issues from back then, huh? "

Serena curses, " Sorry, Phoebe, not used to having a new empath around me. I would have shielded you if I had thought about it. "

" Wait, why would you shield her? " Piper asks.

" Because I got cursed with empathy as the princess, I could feel the suffering around me and my mother was doing nothing to stop it. In fact she was exacerbating the situation. I had to take over the negotiations and I shell shocked everyone that negotiated with me. I acted like a ditz but in actuality I was one of the smartest beings around. " Serena states.

" You wanted everyone to underestimate you. " Paige states.

" Did the same in this life and only my little bro ever knew what I was doing. Our parents were entirely too stupid to see through my act and they just loved having another excuse to beat me anyhow. Sammy and I both got used to it, but that didn't make it any easier on either of us. "

The sisters were surprised by how blunt Serena was being, Chris however was not. He knew more or less what she had suffered through and if he could he would kill Tuxedo Mask himself. Once Serena is full she stretches, " Give me some down time from the terrible twosome. If I don't get some decent sleep then I will lose control of my powers and that will not be good. "

Chris smirks and orbs her back, then he turns his attention to his twins, he could handle the twins for the rest of the day. Hell, he was normally the one who handled the children the Resistance protected anyhow, " Paige, can you take Andy while I go get their stuff? "

" Sure, gives me time to cuddle him. " Paige says, taking the little boy from his father. Chris orbs off and gathers what he needed and redoes the wards to his home, there was no way in hell that he was going to let the mother of his children be harmed due to his negligence.

He orbs back in and is shocked when Rini decides to orb to him, " Seriously, you gain orbing now? " Chris asks her.

Piper looks at him, " Have fun, Chris. "

Chris quickly casts a few spells to keep his children in the Manor and in the same plane and dimension, " Not personal gain as their mother can traverse time/space at a whim and I really don't know how to yet. Ren will kill me if they leave the dimension or plane. "

Paige blinks, " Never thought of that, so you're keeping them confined to the Manor, that way you don't have to search all over creation to find them. "

" Pretty much, I came up with the spells a while ago, just in case. " Chris states, he was beginning to have a whole new respect for his mother, raising four magical kids. Sure Mellie was dead in the future but Leah was still alive, his Little Leah. Thankfully he'd come up with a spell to replenish her meds. She'd been kidnapped at five by demons and bee there a year. The result being that she ended up with PTSD. Chris was the only one who could come up on her from behind and not get maimed in some way.

Chris only had to send his kids to Wyatt once to vanquish demons and told Wyatt to keep his shield up until he said it was safe. Then Chris set to playing with all three children, though the little ones soon went under and Chris places them in Wyatt's crib, then he looks at Wyatt, " Well, Wy, what do you want to do, your niece and nephew are asleep, their mother most likely is as well, and Ren will kill me if I go and hunt demons, not to mention mom. "

" Pway, cars. " Wyatt says.

Chris smiles and sits down to play cars with his little big brother. He missed the times when his brother was his brother and not the Source of All Evil. The Charmed Ones came home to find Chris had cooked and Serena and Sammy were over. Sammy had been sent to the Manor from Valhalla, Wyatt was entertaining Rini and Andy by making stuff float and spin slowly. Once the food was ready each parent grabs a bottle and feeds their babies one handed while feeding themselves as well. Piper was feeding Wyatt some of Chris' mashed potatoes and Wyatt couldn't get enough. He had also made ramen for the Japanese born and Serena's eyes had widened, " I am ever so glad I found you first in this era, Mina would so try to snap you up just for the food, though the looks wouldn't hurt as neither Mina nor I can cook. " Serena states.

" Very true, any woman would kill to have a man cook for them like this. Who taught you, Chris? " Phoebe asks.

" My mother. " Chris answers as Serena heads for the dessert, a triple chocolate cheese cake with strawberry glaze.

Serena's eyes light up as she takes the first bite, " Chris, you are a food god, no one should be able to make food taste this good. "

Paige chuckles, " Very true, any girls ever jump you for your food? "

Chris nearly chokes at this question and Serena laughs, " I did actually after having his brownies. "

Sammy rolls his eyes, " Should have figured that it was his ability to cook that seduced you, sis. "

" I am still here ya know. " Chris mutters.

Serena smiles at this, " We know, Chris. Make it up to you later? "

Chris was never so thankful for her Lunarian physiology as he was now. He loved her ability to heal. It meant that he still got bedroom privileges. " Fine, but the next time you get to be the one talked about as though you're not there. "

Sammy grins at this, " I can do that, I have ample practice at that. "

" Shut it, kiddo. " Serena retorts.

" Ah, sibling interaction, you gotta love it. " Piper says.

Serena finishes her food and deals with Andy while the others still sit around the table and talk. It was the crash that had them up, Serena had sent Andy straight to his father and comes crashing back into the dining room before getting up and charging back into battle, pulling her scepter. Ten minutes later she stood victorious and heads back to the table to eat another piece of cheese cake. " God, this is just like Juuban. At least I'll have a never ending supply of sugary goodness, otherwise I will never be able to keep up with all the healing I have to do. "

" Healing? " Piper asks.

" HA-healing, like Flash as well, only I need sugar energy to power it. " Serena states.

" How bad was Juuban? " Phoebe asks.

Serena sighs at this question, " Well, after I became Sailor Moon I never got enough sleep as I would patrol every night, had to go to school fight youma during the day, always ended up late to the battles with the girls because I had to fight at least ten youma on the way to the battle, constantly had Mars bitching about me being late, not being a good enough princess, and whatever verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse she could throw my way. Then I got physically abused at home. I just couldn't win. "

Paige winces at that, " Ouch, you just were never cut a break, were you? You had the weight of the world on your shoulders and then the weight of the universe and still you couldn't be cut a break. "

" It's why we left when we did and traveled to the year 1998. The Silver Crystal deemed that a safe year for us, and sis used her powers to create us new identities, a fictitious guardian that left money for us, the money actually comes from Queen Aurista of Pluto, got us enrolled in school, and we went from there. " Sammy says.

" Yeah, my powers don't have personal gain attached to them as I am technically termed a magical girl, as I can't use most of my powers unless I transform. " Serena admits.

" True for every sailor scout actually. " Chris remarks.

" I'd like to see you transform. Might be like the Starlights. " Serena teases him.

Chris pales at this thought, " Hell no! That is not going to happen. I refuse to allow it to happen. "

Sammy grins, " You see the Starlights were male in civilian form and female transformed. "

Phoebe snickers at this thought, " Yeah, I can see how that would be a little bit awkward. "

" Pronouns are a bitch with them. Oh, don't worry about the swearing, sis has a profanity filter up so the innocent ears don't hear anything, always has it up unless she is supremely pissed. " Sammy states.

Piper looks at her, " When has she been supremely pissed? "

Sammy gulps at this and sighs, " Back in Juuban, she remembered everything after the battle with Beryl, was just coming home from patrolling when, as Sailor Moon, through the jewels in her hair she heard me scream. She came home to find our parents ready to add molestation to their list of crimes. She went ballistic and was swearing so profusely in Japanese that she had our parents stunned. After that incident they never attempted that with either one of us, though you can't do anything like that to sis anyhow, part of her Lunar genetics. "

All three sisters look horrified at the thought, even Paige whom had been a social worker. " Oh my god, no one should have to suffer that much. " Phoebe states.

" No parent should ever do that or even consider doing that to their child. " Piper says vehemently.

" Tell that to Kenji and Ikkuko Tsukino. " Sammy says, scoffing.

" So, Serena, Chris, has goes the adjustment period? " Piper asks them.

Serena sighs at this, " I wasn't this tired as Sailor Moon. "

Chris looks at her, " I have to admit, this is harder than I thought, and I have experience with babies due to the resistance. "

" Not yours. It's a whole new dimension when the child is yours. " Piper states matter of factly.

" So I've begun to realize, though I wouldn't trade these two or their mother for anything. I'll take their uncle too. " Chris says.

" Gee, I like that, Chris, I'm an afterthought. " Sammy snipes.

" No, you're not, but there is a pecking order, you can understand why you got the placing you did, right? " Chris says, he and Sammy acted more like brothers and Chris liked having a little brother instead of being the little brother.

" Yeah, seeing as how I know what sis is like. I've lived with her my entire life. " Sammy quips.

Serena glares at her little brother, " Just what are you saying with that, Sammy? "

Sammy gulps and chooses his next words very carefully, " That you are a very kind and caring individual with a vindictively sadistic streak. "

Serena blinks at this description of her, " Leave it to my kid brother in my next life to so aptly describe me. "

Phoebe looks at her, " Wait, you think that's apt? "

Serena smiles, " Well, considering that my father during the Silver Millennium was Hades, one of the Big Three Greek Gods, yeah, it is apt. "

" Wait, the gods actually existed, I thought they were just mortals? " Paige asks.

Serena laughs at this, " No, those essences are similar to how a Sailor Scout transforms, but the power is raw and makes it hard for someone to control it, the transformation items handle that problem. "

" Why don't the Elders do this? " Phoebe demands.

" Because they're too far removed from the people here on Earth and think that they know best when they clearly don't. I've observed you all and every time you've defied the Elders you've been right to do so. Trust me, when I can get them back in line I will be doing so. " Serena responds to this question, " I highly think that those golden robed baboons should have to take on charges and live with mortals every so often. "

" Here, here, " Piper says, " Finally, someone who makes sense. "
