Chapter Six: Emily Mollianna
Where we last left off in Part 5:
3 months later…
"Hey, you guys, come here!"
"What now, Mina?"
"A girl just appeared and told me to look on the Southside of Fort Smith!" Mina said enthusiastically.
"Really?" Raye said. "What’d she look like?"
"She looked kinda like Trista," Mina said.
"That’s the same girl I saw in the fire," Raye murmured.
"Well, let’s get going then!" Darien said as they walked the streets of downtown Fort Smith.
***********************************************************
In Trisha’s house…
"Whew. Appearing like that is really exhausting," Trisha said. "At least they’ll have some clue as to where they’re going. Only 15 more months to go."
***********************************************************
6 months later…
At the Dees’ house…
"Man, my back is killing me," Serena moaned as she waddled into the kitchen.
"Tell it to stop," Sandra said.
Serena stuck her tongue out.
"Serena, you look like a frog trying to find food," Jo Anna told her as she stirred the contents of a big pot.
"Yah, well you look more like a frog than I do in all those green cloths," Serena retorted.
"What’s cookin’ Jo?" Seth asked as he came in with Dipi on his shoulders.
"I thought we’d do something Ja…um…oriental for June 30th," Jo Anna answered.
"Oh my God! I completely forgot!" Serena said.
"Does that mean…?" Nathan asked, motioning to Serena’s enlarged stomach.
"Maybe not, because I’m not carrying the triplets," Serena said.
"But didn’t Selene say that anyone with moon blood had to be born on June 30th?" Nick asked.
"She did say that didn’t she?"
"And she said that we were all born when the moon was out," Sandra said.
"But the moon’s out right…" Serena said. She paused as her water broke. "Now."
"Ok, Dipi, get Serena’s bag," Seth instructed as he bent down and let Dipi slid off his back.
"’K, Daddy!" Dipi said as she ran up the stairs.
"Where’s Rebecca?" Serena asked.
"She had to arrange some things down at the hospital," Nick said, taking his car keys out of his pocket.
"Nathan, will you call Seiya?" Serena asked as Sandra tossed the mop to Mike.
He gave her a dirty look but she retorted with a ‘death glare’.
"Sure," Nathan said as he pulled out his communicator.
"Thanks," Serena said as Sandra, Nick, and Seth lead her out of the kitchen.
Dipi came flying down the stairs with a yellow duffel bag in her hands at record-breaking speed.
"You can’t go right now Dipi," Sandra said as she took the duffel bag.
"But…"
"Seiya and the girls are going to meet you there!" Nathan called.
"Thank you, Nathan!"
***********************************************************
In a hotel room on the opposite side of Fort Smith…
"It’s been 9 god-be-damned months since we ran her off! When are we going to find her?" Amarrah asked angrily.
"At least we know she’s here," Amy said.
"Yeah, but we’ve looked all over this city! And we still haven’t found her," Lita said.
"Maybe we’re not looking in the right places," Darien said quietly. "Maybe she’s somewhere that we’d never think to look."
"But where would that be?" Michelle asked.
"Several places," Raye said. "The library, the hospital, the asylum. Wait, she’d be there."
"Raye!" everyone shouted.
"Calm down. I’m just trying to lighten the mood a little," Raye defended her self.
"That wasn’t funny at all Raye. Especially when we are looking for her to apologize for all the mean things we said!" Hotaru said. "And if you don’t stop being so mean to her, I’m going to use my Silence Glave on you!"
"Hotaru!" Michelle said, in horror.
"I agree with Hotaru. You need to lay off," Amarrah said. "Especially since we’re looking for her because we ran her off."
***********************************************************
As the van pulled up to the hospital, a bunch of nurses came out with a wheelchair.
15 minutes later Seiya pulled up in his van, parked, and got out with a few of the Solars with him.
***********************************************************
Back with the scouts…
"Something’s wrong with Serena," Darien said suddenly.
"But I thought that the link was gone," Mina said.
"Those kind of links can be blocked by one of the persons connected to it. The block can come down when the person is caught of guard or in pain," Trista said.
"So that means that Serena is very distracted," Mina said.
"No surprise in that," Raye murmured.
"Or she’s in pain," Darien finished.
***********************************************************
10 hours later at the hospital…
"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl," Rebecca, Dr. Shields now, said as she handed the small neonatal to the very exhausted Serena.
"Do you have a name?" the nurse asked.
"Emily Mollianna," Serena replied.
"Mollianna?" the nurse asked.
"Yes. M-O-L-L-I-A-N-N-A," Serena spelled out.
"What’s the father’s name?"
"I…don’t know," Serena lied.
"Very well," the nurse said as she took Emily Mollianna from Serena and left the room.
"Why’d you name her that?" Seiya asked from Serena’s side.
"You remember Molly Baker?" Serena asked. "That was her full name, Emily Mollianna. I always told her that I’d name my first daughter after her. And I did."
"She’ll be glad to know that," Seiya said. "If you ever go back."
"I’m going to call her," Serena said quietly.
"No need to call me. I all ready know," a voice said from the doorway.
Serena gasped as she looked up.
"Molly? How did you find me?" Serena asked.
"I didn’t really. I came here because my aunt was sick and I saw your name outside the room," Molly answered, coming inside. "Why’d you run away?"
"You wouldn’t understand," Serena said looking down.
"Serena, you know you can trust her," Seiya said.
"Of course you can trust me, Serena!" Molly said.
"If I’m going to tell you everything," Serena said, "then we’re going to need someplace more private than this."
"Why?" Molly asked her.
"Because we know Earth’s best kept secret," Seiya said.
"Why the United states has had so many moronic presidents?" Molly asked.
Seiya and Serena sweat-dropped.
"No! Who the sailor scouts are!" Seiya said loudly.
"Seiya, you know the rules! No scout business in public!" Zach said, coming into the room, unaware that Molly was in the re. When he saw her, he added," You don’t need to talk about the article that we’re writing about them."
"I’m going to tell her," Serena said to Zach.
"You know your sister is not going to like this one little bit," Zach said.
"Emily Mollianna weighs 9.3 pounds. ( AN: Can a baby weigh that much?"
" Sister? You don’t have a sister," Molly said, very confused.
"Moll, I was adopted," Serena said as Zach left the room.
" You were?"
"Yes. I have a brother and a sister. We’re triplets," Serena said.
"Who. Two Serena’s and a guy Serena," Molly said as she sat down in a chair.
"How long are you going to be in town?" Serena asked the redhead.
"Two weeks."
"Good. When I get out of here, I’ll tell you everything," Serena said.
" Serena Usagi Tsukino!"
"Sandra Solaria Dees," Serena said dryly.
"Do you even remember what I told you about our identities?" Sandra said. She turned to Molly and said, with her voice dripping with sarcasm, " Why hello Molly. It’s so good to see you again."
"Sandra. It’s been awhile," Molly said with just as much sarcasm.
"Ok, what’s going on here?" Serena and Seiya said in unison.
