Bid for a normal life

Ikuko looked down at her sleeping daughter with a smile. 'You better get all the rest you can. As soon as that little one arrives, you are going to be busy.' A look of pain or something similar creased Usagi's face, and her hand wrapped around her protruding belly. Ikuko moved the pillows that Usagi was propped against, and tucked her back under. 'Maybe letting you move on to the couch for a little while wasn't a great idea. The doctor said complete bed rest.' Brushing her daughter's bangs back, Ikuko wish they would figure out what was draining Usagi's energy. There were no other signs of complications, just a curious lack of strength. It was like she fighting something, but the doctors could find no signs of infection.

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

Usagi stared at the one person she has never expected to be fighting. Guardian Moon crossed her arms, staring at the one person she had never expected to be this stubborn. Usagi wrapped her arms protectively around the small bundle she held close to her heart.

Guardian Moon frowned slightly at the protective gesture. "I have to meld with her. She is to be the Princess of the Moon. All the princesses are sailor senshi."

Usagi shook her head, and tightened her arms. "No. I'll stay Sailor Moon for a while." She looked down a the pink haired infant. "She is too young for that responsibility."

Guardian Moon considered physically forcing Usagi to give up, but that route hadn't worked yet. She had to find the words to convince the Queen. 'That's it, she is a queen now, she can't be a senshi.' "Your majesty, as the Queen of the Moon and the Royal Consort of the Earth, you can not be Sailor Moon any more. Let me join her. Let me reside in the new Sailor Moon."

Usagi cast a pleading look at her almost mirror image. The only difference was the guardian was in a sailor fuku. "She is too young." Usagi ran a finger across the top of the baby's head. "Let her grow up some. Let her have a normal life."

Moon looked into the blue eyes that pleaded for understanding. She understood. She and the Queen had been one for so long, she understood the Queen's wish. 'But can I abide by it? Can the world stand to wait?' The blue eyes looking at her were trying to convince her it could. As she took a step closer, Usagi stepped back with her eyes wary. Moon stopped. 'She is afraid of me. Or rather, she doesn't trust me.' Her eyes locked with Usagi's and she gave up. "I'll wait. But you have to let me know when she needs me. I am not connected to her as I am to you, so I won't hear her need."

Usagi smiled and relaxed her grip around her precious bundle. Moon stepped forward again, but this time Usagi didn't move away. The Guardian smiled down at the small bundle. "So what is her name?"

Usagi's smile broadened. "Her name will be Usagi Tsukino."
