Lullaby Pt 3

((Whoo hoo I got a reveiw, I'm happy now. To answer your questions Rae-chan yes she could do all of the things you suggested but then they'd be no plot for my story if there ever was one....anyway as for aborting the child, I'm not totally against abortation but to me that jjust seems like something Setsuna would never do, in this case perhaps, but I can't see her doing that, and yes her rapist will appear, probably in this or the next chapter. Sorry if people think is to dramatic, I rather like to make dramatic stories.)1

Another month gone, and my belly has grown out more as I enter my second trimester, rolling over onto my back A heavy sigh of releif escapes my lips as I am finally able to get a little rest. Usagi and the other inner scouts Decided to pay a visit to our home and throw me a little party in honor of myself and my child. Everyone brought gifts and Rae gave us a small blessing and did a fire reading for us. She said I would have a beautiful baby, A child with my looks and long flowing black hair* and a darker shade of my own garnet eyes. There was darkness in her reading to. The father of my child would soon come, perhaps to take me away, she couldn't tell really, all I was told was to prepare for something dangerous.2

Unconciously I placed a hand to my stomach as I lay awake thinking about my child and what would happen to it. I looked over at the most recent sonogram picture as I smiled at the little life curled up in my belly, squirming around gently and even rolling over in my belly. Feeling a small kick against my stomach I smile and look down at my stomach. I whispered a few words to my baby and smiled some as I sat up and turned the TV on. 3

A small knock sounded at my door a I smiled some. "Come on in Hotaru." I said as Hotaru walked in.4

"How did you know it was me Setsuna-mama?" She asked as she walked over to me and took a seat beside me. 5

"Mother's instinct." I repliedd and smiled as I hugged her close to me.6

"What's the baby gonna be Setsuna mama?" She asked smiling.7

"A little boy, I'm going to have a son." I said smiling at her as a wide grin crossed her face at the thought of a baby brother.8

Although I would have prefered a daughter my son would carry on my bloodline and when he married should he have a daughter, she will take my place as the next sailore Scout. But I am getting to far ahead of myself. Right now I am just happy that my baby is alive and well. No problems or complications what so ever, though the doctors were a bit concerned that I seemed a bit bigger than normal, but they explain it as nothing more than the size of the baby.9

A month later, summer starts to turn to fall as I enter my seventh month. After being in the house for so long I decided to go take a walk outside and enjoy the cool weather of fall. The leaves were falling from the trees in the park as I watched them. The scene looked so beautiful from here. I smiled as I continued walking soon hearing someone follow after me as I looked over my shoulder at a man in his late twenties early thirites. He had slightly tan skin and was wearing sunglassed to cover his eyes and A light blue shirt and black pants as his short brown hair blew in the wind. 10

I had seen this face before, remembered it even, Gods I hopped it wasn't him. I held my purse close to me as I looked at him.11

"May I?" He asked politely as he gestured to my stomach.12

That voice....the voice of the one who raped me, Could it really be him? no...it couldn't have he was safely locked away in jail, he couldn't get to me, he couldn't touch me.13

"I...I don't really want people touching my belly." I said looking away.14

"Why? Are you shy about your body?" He asked me as I looked up at him.15

"No...its just, I don't like sstrangers to touch me." She said.16

"I'm not a stranger though." He said placing a hand on my stomach as he leaned down pulling his glases up revealing cold green eyes.17

"You..." I said surprised.18

"Your growing so big, pretty soon our child will be born." He said smiling as he bent down kissing her belly. 19

"You won't ever see my baby." I growled as I backed up.20

"Oh but on the contrary I always will." He said as he walked off into a crowd of people disappeared.21

"What?" I asked as I shook some as I turned and ran off wanting to get as far away as possible. I suddenly found myself bumping into someone as the person held my arms to keep me from falling.22

"Nnn... I'm sorry." I said as I felt strong arms wrap around me. 23

"What's all the hurry for?" I heard a familiar voice ask as I looked up into the eyes of his future higness.24

"Mamoru." I said somewhat surprised.25

"What are you running from?" He asked me as I saw him lift his head up and take me to his car. "Here get in I'll drive you to Usagi's house."26

I nodded some and got in his car as I buckled my seatbelt and he drove off.27

* I've read from various sources that Setsuna's hair is black but green in the manga, I wasn't sure which color to use so I just went with black, since in the anime it is blackish with green highlights and what not. Or would you guys rather me say its's just Blackish green?28
