Ohayo, minna-chan!  Hmm...I think I need new greetings.  *sigh*  
Oh well!  You don't care what I say here, but what I write, right?  
Anyway, I wrote this 6 months ago and it was supposed to be 
published in a fanzine, but the fanzine was never published and 
I'm tired of waiting.  So to the person who wanted to publish 
the fanzine, if you're reading this: Take my stuff off the list.

I'm also going to appologize for not having FA2 up this week.  I am 
overcoming a SEVERE case of writers block.  I'm really sorry, but 
it will be up soon.

This is based on the Sailormoon Manga, so be warned.  If you need 
more info, mail me.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Sailor Moon, but I can dream

Quote of the Week: "Remember- no man is a failure if he has friends." 
Clerince "It's a Wonderful Life."

BIRTHRIGHT

The year two thousand.  The start of the twenty-first century.  Oh, 
how I've dreaded this year for so long.  I think that all of us have 
really, but in our own ways and for different reasons.  I think the 
main reason that I have been so afraid of this year is because it 
is the end of innocence.  I can no longer stay up late and read my
manga.  I can't spend hours a day at the arcade.  Yes, I admit it.  
Even though I am married to the most wonderful man alive, and have 
been since I was sixteen, I still go for my daily Sailor V hit.

Yes, things are going to change.  I, Chiba Tsukino Usagi, am about 
to be crowned Queen of Crystal Tokyo.  Perhaps it is my birthright,
but it is strange to suddenly become someone I thought I would never
be.  However, after one thousand years of lying dormant, everything that 
makes a good ruler is coming out in me.  I am graceful and well
mannered.  At the end of last year, my hair turned silver.  Mama 
thought that something was wrong with my pregnancy and had me rushed 
to the doctor.  Yes that's right, pregnancy.  I am nine months 
pregnant with mine, and Mamo-chan's, first child.

I run a hand over my rounded stomach and smile as I feel my baby 
kick.  Giggling a little, I try to sooth the small miracle in side 
of me.  "It's okay, Mama is just nervous.  It's not every day you 
are crowned Queen of the Earth and Moon, child."  The baby calms 
down and I smile.

No matter how often I had seen this child, my Small Lady, in the 
past, it still amazed me now that I was actually going to give 
birth to her soon.  I'm going to hold her in my arms and watch her 
as she grows up, just as I secretly did when I was younger.  I 
knew that if I didn't pay attention then, I'd never see her grow 
now.

I bite my lip as I remember how horrible we were to each other all 
those years ago.  I was such a horrible excuse for a mother back 
then.  I related my feelings once to her and the response was: 
"So?  I'm a horrible excuse for a daughter."  I think that's when 
we understood.  She just wanted to be a kid, and so did I.  We 
were sisters then, and now we were going to be mother and daughter.

My own words echo back into my head.  'I'm an awful mother...'  
Tears threaten my eyes as I recall similar conversations with 
myself.  I'm pretty good with children, I know that, but what do 
I know about raising a kid?  Seriously!  I shake my head to try 
and clear these thoughts from my head.  "No," I grit my teeth.  
"I will be a good mother, I will be a good ruler," I tell myself.

"I will..."

Another kick comes and I giggle again.  Suddenly I hear a deep 
chuckle coming from behind me.  Whirling around, I catch sight of 
my husband, Chiba Mamoru, my Mamo-chan, leaning against the 
doorframe with his arms crossed and that annoying, cocky grin on 
his beautiful face.  "Mamo-chan!" I exclaim in surprise.  "Don't 
do that!" I scold him as he walks closer to me.

He wraps his arms around my round waist and leans his head on my 
shoulder.  "You look gorgeous," he whispers to me as he kisses my 
neck and cheeks.

"Mamo-chan," I whisper as I turned around and kiss him full on the 
lips.  Pulling back I admire him in his new lavender tuxedo and 
cape.  If you ask me, it brings out his eyes better and throws out 
that ominous aura that Tuxedo Kamen had.  Not that that aura didn't 
come in handy during battles, but it wasn't very romantic.  "You 
look very dashing," I said with a slight chuckle as I tousled his 
hair.

"Hey!" Mamo-chan exclaims and grabs my wrists and kisses me again.  
I giggle and pull away from him slightly.  Mamo-chan wraps me in 
one of his famous hugs and leans his forehead against mine.  "God 
that dress looks good on you," he murmurs.

I blush and smooth out an imaginary wrinkle in the fabric.  
Setsuna-san did do a good job of making the dress I will wear as 
Neo-Queen Serenity in to a maternity dress.  Soon I will be wearing
the dress as it should be worn and not with this bowling ball that is 
my child around my hips.

"We should go," Mamo-chan says to me.  I don't move and bury myself 
deeper into his embrace.  "Usako?" Mamo-chan whispers to me as he 
pulls away.  I hold tightly to him though.  I'm so scared.  A 
scared little rabbit.

Mamo-chan sighs and looks me in the eyes and I see something that I 
haven't seen in his eyes before.  Pure fear and anxiety.  "I know
that you're scared, Usako.  I am too."

Tears fill my eyes and I quickly begin to blink them back.  "What if 
I'm a bad ruler?" I ask.  "What if everyone hates me?  What if I'm-" 
 A warm mouth engulfs mine as Mamo-chan kisses me.  After a few 
moments, he pulls back and I gaze up at him through half closed 
eyes.  Little brat.  Always did know how to shut me up.  Not that 
I'm complaining or anything.

"Usako, I know.  But you will be a *wonderful* Queen.  People 
already love you, and you know I do too."  I grin a little at 
that.  "I know, you'll make a great Queen, My Love.  You're loving, 
compassionate, patient, you relate to people well and can make people 
laugh.  All the qualities that a good ruler needs."

"You've faced the most powerful enemies this world has ever known, 
from Queen Metalia to Chaos, and have won.  You've over come death, 
despair and your own fears to get here, Usako.  When the nations 
began to fall into chaos and disorder, you helped pick up the 
pieces, and that's what got you here today.  You'll make an excellent 
Queen, my love."

I nod, it is true.  In the past year, more natural disasters and 
human disasters have been occurring.  With the Ginzuoshou, Mamo-chan 
and the Senshi to aid me, I had been able to stop most of what 
was going to happen.  Soon afterwards, many leaders around the 
world began to recognize me and said I was a born leader.  Now, 
leadership of most countries has been handed over to me and 
Mamo-chan, willingly I might add.

Well, I'm feeling better now.  At least in that department.  
"Mamo-chan?" I whisper so quietly that I barely realize I've 
said it.

"Hmm?  What is it, Usako?" he asks me as he runs his hands down my 
back in a calming motion.

I lean into his tender caresses and for a minute I just enjoy the 
feeling of being held in his arms.  After I few moments, I pull 
out and look to him with sad eyes.  He holds me again and I cry 
willingly into his tuxedo shirt.  "Mamo-chan," I sob out, "what 
if I'm not a good mother to Small Lady?" I ask as my throat closes 
up and I can only cry.

"Oh Usako..." he whispers.  "Is this what has been worrying you so 
much lately?  Our daughter?" he asks as he puts a hand on my 
stomach.  I sniffle and nod my head a little.  Mamo-chan smiles 
sadly for a moment and embraces me.  "Oh, Usako.  Don't be.  Don't 
be afraid.  I don't think I can assure you that you will be a 
wonderful mother, but *I* and the others all know that you will be.  
You know too, you just won't admit it.  But I know."

He kisses my forehead and I smile at him.  When the man was right, 
he was right.  But I can't help but still fell doubtful.  I sigh and 
lean on him.  "I know, Mamo-chan.  I know."  I am content to just 
stay in his arms, however reality will call us back soon enough.

A soft knock comes to our door and Mamo-chan sighs.  I do too.  I 
knew it wouldn't last.  "Yes?" I call to the person on the other 
side.  "You may come in."

The door creaks open and a familiar head of short blue hair peeks 
in.  "Serenity-sama?  Endymion-sama?" Ami-chan no, Sailormercury 
now that I look at her better, says in a serious tone.

I laugh a little and smile at her.  "Ami-chan, we've known each 
other for eight years, longer if you count the Moon Kingdom, you 
don't have to call me 'Serenity-sama.'  Especially not in private."

Mamo-chan slips an arm around my waist and smiles too.  "We 
talked about this, remember, Ami-chan?" he asks her.

Ami-chan nods.  "Yes, I do."  It was true.  Not too long ago, right 
after Mamo-chan and I found out about our up coming coronation, we 
had called a Senshi meeting.  I wanted to make sure that everyone
knew that nothing was going to change, at least not when we were 
alone.  To be proper, it was decided that when we were in public, 
it was formal, otherwise Mamo-chan and I are Usagi-chan and 
Mamoru-san.

Ami-chan continues and I snap back to attention and listen.  "Anyway, 
Usagi-chan, the Reception Hall is ready for you and Mamoru-san to 
enter.  I must hurry if I am to make it."  Ami-chan bows to the two 
of us and giggles when she comes back up, showing me that she was 
just trying to make me smile.  I laugh a little and she leaves.

I turn to Mamo-chan and begin to take deep breaths.  He runs his 
hands along my arms, calming me.  I let out my breath and smile.  
"Well, I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

"Me too," he whispers.  Taking my arm, Mamo-chan leads me out the 
door towards the Hall.

*******************************************************************

We wait for the introductions of the Senshi to finish before going 
in.  As our names are announced I put on my most dazzling smile 
but still look proper and official as we walk down the aisle to 
where the Sailor Senshi are.  The Inners on one side and the 
Outers on the other with Sailorvenus standing up front and 
Sailorsaturn close behind.

The Pope himself offered to preside over the Coronation ceremony, 
but I politely refused him, saying that the Ceremony would be the 
same as it was in the Silver Millennium, with the leader of the 
Guardian Senshi swearing in the rulers and presiding over the
entire Ceremony.  Or as Minako-chan put it 'cussing in the rulers 
and residing the Ceremony.'  You know, we really were thinking of 
letting Saturn do this instead.

I see him, the Pope, now sitting up front with many other important 
world leaders, and I think he understands why I chose this Ceremony.
It is easier with friends than people you don't know.

Mamo-chan and I have reached the steps and I ever so carefully lift 
my dress to walk up them.  We stop with one step more to go and 
room becomes even quieter, if that is possible.  I casually glance 
at each of the Senshi and they give me encouragement in their own 
way.

Saturn's cold gaze turns much warmer; she almost looks like that 
little child I used to know.  Neptune blows a stray strand of hair 
out of her eyes and smiles.  Uranus winks at me and I blush a 
little.  Pluto doesn't do anything different, her eyes are warm 
and don't change.  They show her confidence in me.

The Inner's signals are different.  Jupiter gently pats her own 
stomach as a reminder that this is for the baby too.  Mars uncrosses 
her fingers and lets out a breath because I didn't trip.  Mercury 
'subtlety' kicks Mars in the back of her leg and I glare at them.  
Venus mouths six words to me, 'I knew you could do it.'

Minako-chan's expression changes from happy to serious in a split 
second as she calls out an ancient chant.  "Sword of the Moon, 
holy blade that protects our Princess, come to my hand!"  There 
is an audible gasp as the Sword comes to Sailorvenus' hands.  I 
smile.  Yep, when you're just seeing these types of things for the 
first time, it is breath taking.  That Sword made of Ginzioushou 
has saved my life before, and that of many others, at Sailorvenus' 
hands.

It took a lot of concentration and time before the Sword was able 
to come back into being.  During the battle with Queen Metalia, 
the sword became one with the Ginzioushou and gave me more power.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found that taking the Sword 
out of the Crystal didn't make its power any less.

"Prince Endymion of the Earth Kingdom, Golden Kingdom," she says 
loudly.  Mamo-chan stands straighter and looks her straight in the
eyes.  Venus seems a little intimidated and glares at him with her 
'yeah right' look.  Oh, Mamo-chan, she's gonna kill you.  Before 
anymore death promises can be given between the two, Venus starts 
again.  "Please kneel, Prince Endymion of Earth."  Mamo-chan does 
as he is told and goes down on one knee with the Sword of the Moon 
touching his shoulder.  "Do you promise to serve the people?  Do 
you solemnly swear to do everything in your power to protect this 
planet and all its' inhabitants?" she asks.  "Do you promise to 
never abandon this Crown and the people you serve?  Do you, Prince
Endymion?" she asks again.

I wait for Mamo-chan's reply, knowing what it would be, but still 
wondering exactly what he would say.  "On my life, my crown and my 
power, and my Golden Crystal, I solemnly swear to protect this star 
as well as all those living on it.  I swear I shall serve my people 
and protect them with my life if the need comes."

Sailorvenus smiled and removes the sword from his shoulder.  
Sailorsaturn steps forward and places the old Earth Crown on his 
head. "Then rise, King Endymion of the Earth, Moon and Crystal 
Tokyo."  There was loud applauding as Mamo-chan rises and smiles.

Saturn steps back and leans down to pick up the Moon Crown that I 
will wear on my head.  "Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, 
Silver Millennium," Venus calls.  I stand as straight as I can.  
Oh man, what I wouldn't give for some aspirin for my back.  "Kneel, 
Princess Serenity of the Moon."  Slowly, I kneel down and nearly 
fall.  The audience gasps, but Mamo-chan catches me.  My hand 
flies to my stomach as I feel Chibi-Usa kick again.  Wow, that 
actually hurts!

"Usako?" Mamo-chan whispers as he helps me sit down.  I look up 
and notice that all the Senshi are above me too, and Mercury is 
scanning me with her head set.

"Usag-Er...Serenity-sama, are you alright?" Sailormars asks.

I take a deep breath before speaking.  "Yes.  Yes, I'm fine!  Just
 felt a little dizzy and I got kicked very hard."  I look down at 
my waist and frown at it.  "That was a mean thing to do, Chibi-Usa," 
I mutter as I stand up.  "Let the ceremony continue," I half-command, 
half-suggest.

"Princess, are you certain?" Sailorneptune asks me.

I nod.  "Yes, I am.  Mamo-chan," I whisper and he automatically helps 
me back into the kneeling position I was supposed to be in.

"Senshi, back to your area," Sailorvenus orders.
The seven women go back to their places and line up in wait.  I 
stay kneeling and Venus restarts the coronation.

The Sword of the Moon touches my shoulder and stays there.  "Do 
you promise to serve the people?  Do you solemnly swear to do 
everything in your power to protect this planet and all its' 
inhabitants?" she asks.  "Do you promise to never abandon this 
Crown and the people you serve?  Do you, Princess Serenity?" she 
asks me again.

I swallow hard before answering.  "I swear that I will do everything 
within my power as well as that of the Ginzoushou.  I will not fail 
to protect this planet.  No one will be sacrificed for anything," 
I speak in a voice barely above a whisper.

The Sailor Senshi smile, I can feel it.  Sailorsaturn steps forward 
and place the Moon Crown on my head.  "Then rise, Neo-Queen Serenity 
of the Earth, Moon and Crystal Tokyo," Venus says with a tearful 
voice.  Looking up, I see that there are tears in her eyes.  And 
I can't blame her.  After all, this was supposed to happen a thousand 
years ago.

As Mamo-chan and I turn to the audience, I can see so many faces 
bowing to us, some of which I know.  There's Naru-chan and Umino-kun, 
Motoki-onii-chan, Unazuki-chan and Reika-san, Mama and Papa along with 
Shingo.  Haruna-sensei, Minako-chan's parents, Mizuno-sensei 
(Ami-chan's mother) and her father Mizuno-san.  There's Rei-chans' 
Ojii-san and her father?!  I look again and I see him standing in 
the back looking proud of his daughter.  And about time too!

My gaze travels further back and I stop.  Standing near the back 
doors are two people I haven't seen in years.  My mother, Queen 
Serenity and the guardian priest of Earth, Helios.  I tug on 
Mamo-chan's arm and point towards them.  Surprise passes through 
his eyes but before either of us can say anything, they are gone.  
We exchange glances and Mamo-chan smiles at me before leaning down 
and giving me a very long and passionate kiss.

I squeeze one eye open and see the Sailor Senshi shaking their 
heads at us and saying things.  Breaking the kiss I put my hands 
on my rather large hips and huff at them.  "If you keep that up, 
I'm going to eat all the cake at the banquet!" I tell them.

Laughter rings through the hall and I smile.  This is why I was 
reborn, to lead these people, my friends and family into this new 
age.  Into the Crystal Millennium.

*******************************************************************

The festivities started almost as soon as we left the hall and 
moved to the banquet area.  There was a grand feast in order, and 
I had asked that Mako-chan make the entire thing.  She did, or at 
least most of it.  Many of the cooks from the bakery and flower 
shop she opened five years ago helped.  Everyone's favorites are 
here, and just for Minako-chan, I have made sure that no mushrooms 
are being served.  I know I'll never here the end of it from her 
if I allowed that!

The Senshi actually took turns eating.  The Inners ate first while 
the Outers patrolled and kept an eye on the guests, later they 
switched and then both sets patrolled, but they did take breaks 
for other things.  I had to sigh at that.  After all, who was going 
to try and kill Mamo-chan and I right after we had been crowned 
with all these people around?  Oh well, stranger things have 
happened.

I originally thought this would be totally boring, but boy was I 
wrong!  Haruka-san and Michiru-san are two of the performers, 
and they are making this worth while.  Actually, they are still 
Sailoruranus and Sailorneptune and that surprised me.  I thought 
they would detransform.  They have been up there playing for several 
minutes and the audience has been listening intently to their 
music.  I can't blame them, though.  With Uranus' piano playing and 
Neptune's violin...they have created the perfect atmosphere.

I glance around to find all of my other friends and see what they're 
doing.  Sailorvenus is currently talking to a delegate from America, 
and looking rather bored.  I hope someone saves her soon.
Sailormars is, oh Kami-sama, she's dancing with a man!  I nearly 
squeal in shock, but restrain myself.  After all, this is a once 
in a millennium event.

A flash of light comes from behind me and I see Sailorjupiter 
grinning from ear to ear that she caught Sailormars dancing with 
someone on film.

Sailorsaturn has finally noticed Venus's distress and excuses 
herself from the conversation she is in and goes and rescues her 
leader.  I giggle a little.  Minako-chan won't forget that one 
for a long time!

Sailormercury is talking to Sailorpluto, whose eyes are upon me, 
as if she is expecting something to happen.  I wonder what's going 
on that would make her so edgy?

Mamo-chan slips his arms around my shoulders and I smile at him.  
"Yes?" I ask still smiling.

"I was wondering if the most beautiful woman in all of the world 
would dance with me?  Or would that make the rest of your 
admirers jealous?" Mamo-chan says in a teasing voice.

I scrunch my face up at him in mock annoyance.  It's the only 
way I can make sure he doesn't know I'm blushing.  "You look 
beautiful when you blush," he whispers into my ear.  I stick my 
tongue out at him.  Well, never mind that.

"Mamo-chan," I whisper to him as he takes my hand and leads me to 
the dance floor.  The Senshi are all smiling at us as Mamo-chan 
and I sway gently to the music.  I wrap my arms around Mamo-chan's 
neck and pull myself as close as my stomach will let me, which isn't 
close enough for me.  He plants several kisses on my neck, cheeks 
and forehead as we continue to dance.  I sigh and lay my head down 
on his chest.

"Can't we stay like this?" I hear Mamo-chan whisper to me.

I don't look up at him but simply smile.  If only we could.  I know 
the duties I just took on, but I don't care.  Tonight, I want to 
spend time with my Mamo-chan and forget about Crystal Tokyo, if only 
for a few hours.  Looking up, I see Mamo-chan gazing down at me.

Slowly, Mamo-chan's lips meet my own.  Time stops, the world isn't 
spinning anymore.  The only thing I feel is Mamo-chan's lips on mine 
and his hands caressing my back.  When we finally part, we are both 
flushed and breathing hard.  Mamo-chan wraps his arms around me and 
I rest my cheek on his chest again.  His hands slid through my hair 
and I feel a claming sensation wash over me.

The song is just about over when I feel something in my abdomen, a 
feeling I've never felt before.

I smile into Mamo-chan's chest and one hand goes to my rounded 
belly.  So the rabbit wants to join the party.  I pull away from 
Mamo-chan and he looks at me strangely.  Smiling, I take one of his 
hands and place it where mine was just moments ago.  I inhale 
sharply as a contraction starts and Mamo-chan's eyes go wide.

"Now?!"

That got the whole rooms attention, and the Senshi walk up to me.  
"Serenity-sama?" Sailorjupiter asks, "are you alright?"

I smile at all of them and nod.  "Small Lady is in an awful rush 
to join us, don't you think?" I ask them.

"WHAT?!" all of them yell at the same time.

*******************************************************************

"GET THIS KID OUT OF ME!!!" I scream as another contraction, rips 
through my uterus and sweat pours down my face.

"It's okay, Usako.  You're almost done!  Just a little longer!"

"Easy for you to say!" I snap at him.

At that moment, Haruka-san decides she has to *film* this glorious 
day.  I glare at her and she falters a little before lifting the 
camera again and doing more filming.  "Come on, Odango!  Giving 
birth to a new life is the most beautiful event ever!"

Michiru-san sighs and shakes her head.  "Haruka, I really don't 
think that Usagi-chan is going to watch this tape.  Maybe Mamoru-san 
will put it on to scare off potential boys that Small Lady may date."
Laughter rings through the room and Mamo-chan glares at our friends.
Mamo-chan grips my hand tighter and I look to his face as the 
contraction eases.  He's almost as frazzled as I am, but he's sticking 
with me.  The Senshi have been going back and forth between me and 
the party, that's still going on outside.  Though I think the only 
reason that the partygoers are still here is because all of them 
are curious about whether or not I'm having this kid.

Mako-chan peaks down at how I'm doing, grimaces and looks green.  
"Most beautiful moment?  Looks like a youma breaking through a door 
 while holding a ketchup bottle" she murmurs causing more laughter. 
(AN: If any of you had to watch that "Miracle of Life", you know what 
I mean!)

I yelp suddenly and grunt as the strongest contraction hits.  
Ami-chan, in her doctors' coat, is down and smiles.  "Usagi-chan!  
Just a little more!  I can see the head!"

I nod and push harder letting another scream out.  I turn to Mamo-chan 
and hiss at him, "This, is all *your* fa-ULT!"

Suddenly a shrill scream comes, and it isn't from me.  I collapse 
back into the bed and breathe in and out as slow as I can.  Mamo-chan 
kisses my forehead and whispers comforts to me.  I try to look at my 
baby, but realize I don't have the strength to sit up.

Ami-chan stands up and smiles at us.  "Congratulations, Usagi-chan, 
Mamoru-san, it's a girl.  Date of birth, June thirtieth two 
thousand.  Happy birthday both of you."  She sets the baby in my 
arms and I smile.  Pink hair, large pink eyes and a curious gaze.

"Oh, Usako," Mamo-chan whispers to me as he brushes a finger against 
our daughters cheek, "she's beautiful.  Absolutely beautiful."

I nod and feel tears come to my eyes.  She truly is beautiful.  A 
tiny little miracle that Mamo-chan and I created with our love.  "She 
is, isn't she?"

Ami-chan smiles at us, as the others walk in and see us with the 
small child.  "Aww..." Minako-chan whispers.

"So, what are you going to name her, Usagi-san?" Hotaru-chan asks 
me as if she didn't know.  She lays her head on my bed while kneeling 
beside me and smiles.  She will always be that little girl she was 
so long ago, won't she?  Deep down, the dark warrior inside her can't 
be in complete control.

Mamo-chan and I look at each other.  Even though we've known for 
years what she would be named, somehow at this time, the name feels 
just right.  "Usagi.  Princess Usagi Serenity," I tell them.

"A big name for such a small lady," Michiru-san says as she walks 
closer and gazes at the newborn princess.

I gaze at my daughter and smile.  "Small Lady.  You're my Small 
Lady," I whisper.  Mamo-chan puts an arm around my shoulders and 
kisses my cheek.

The others take that as their cue to leave and begin to push the 
more hesitant ones out the door.  As they leave and the door 
shuts, I here Minako-chan yelling, "But I wanna hold the baby!"

Mamo-chan gives a deep laugh and puts his lips near my ear.  "You 
aren't afraid of being a bad parent now, are you, Mommy?"

I shake my head.  "No *Daddy*," I tease him back.  "Not around my 
Small Lady."

Small Lady glances up at us with curious eyes and yawns.  I laugh 
and place a kiss on her forehead.  No, not around my Small Lady, 
or my people.

I am Neo-Queen Serenity, Daughter of Queen Serenity, the last ruler
of the Moon Kingdom Silver Millennium.  My mission is to protect 
this star, and I will not fail.  For my love. For my friends.  For 
my daughter.

I will not fail.

END!

Enjoy it?  I promise I'll put FA2 out ASAP!  SWEAR!
