This is actually too short to be called an actual chapter. . .I just wanted to wrap it up, and this seemed like the best way. I guess you should call this an epilogue instead.
So onto the last chapter of "I Will Still Love You."
~Chapter Five~
Neo-Queen Serenity stared in shock at the tiny little pink-haired bundle in her arms.
"Ri. . .Rini?" she whispered.
The baby stared at Serenity with curious eyes and giggled out loud.
"These must be her sweet years," Jupiter laughed.
"Yeah, let's wait until the Terrible Two stage," Mars laughed.
Serenity knew they were just trying to make her feel better, but it was not working. She couldn't believe this. She thought that the Rini back in twentieth century was Endymion and her baby. . .not hers and Niyoshi's.
Serenity gently put baby Rini on the pillows next to her and burst into tears.
"What's wrong?" Endymion asked in alarm.
"It's. . .it's Rini," Serenity sobbed. "I had no idea she was the product of a rape. And now that I know I have to deal with that the rest of my life!"
The Scouts realized this was probably an Endymion-and-Serenity thing, so they quietly left the room.
Endymion took Serenity's hand again. "Didn't you listen to me at all?" he smiled. "I will always love you. And we will always love Rini, because she's now OUR baby, not your and Niyoshi's.
Queen Serenity smiled and started to cry, but just then, baby Rini started wailing.
Serenity rolled her eyes and picked up her new bundle of joy. "It all starts now," she laughed, and rocked Rini to sleep.

One year later. . .
~*~*~
"Happy Birthday dear Rini. . .Happy Birthday to you!" everyone sang. Serenity picked Rini up from her high chair in the dining room and gave her a hug.
The Sailor Scouts and Endymion showered Rini with gifts, even though she had no idea what was going on.
"Gaaa?" she asked.
"You're one year old!" Serenity whispered. "You've been my joy and have had my love for one year. And many more are to come."
"Gooogie ga," Rini cried happily.
"Hey Serenity! Can we take Rini outside for a minute?" Sailor Venus asked with a wink. She was referring to the new swingset and slide the Scouts had gotten Rini.
"Sure," Serenity smiled, and handed Rini over to Venus. They left the room to go out to the backyard. Soon, it was just King Endymion and Neo-Queen Serenity in the room.
Endymion wrapped his arms around his wife's waist. "I love you, my queen," he whispered.
Serenity put her arms around Endymion's neck. "And I, you," she whispered back before standing on her tiptoes and give Endymion a long, deep kiss.
