Decor
Upon entering the home, you get a sense of elegance and tranquility from the decor. The walls are painted a warm, creamy sand color, and the walls are adorned in simple, traditional Japanese art. An occasional plant or silk flower can be spotted in nearly every room, and there is no clutter to be found. The foyer of the home is lit up by traditional paper lanterns that hang from the celing, providing a calm illumination that doesn't irritate tired eyes.
Perhaps the most traditional of these rooms are the Dining Area, Kitchen, and Training rooms, complete with tatami flooring and sliding doors, as well as the upper guest rooms on the East Wall.
The daughters have decorated their rooms in ways that they prefer, more or less, but the remainder of the house retains a sense of balance, mixing in an appropriate amount of modern style, while still paying tribute to tradition.
Residents
Setsuna works in her office, which resides right next to the front door. Here she works on her clothing designs, sewing, attending to clients through laptop and phone. She is never too busy to welcome a friend, and is glad to stop and chat with those that visit.
Tigers Eye works in the garage, repairing motorcycles and sometimes tinkering with his own bikes in his spare time. In the evening he watches TV in the den. He can be territorial, but is otherwise welcoming, even shameless around guests. (or anyone for that matter.)
Suzuka's room is closed, as she is off completing her senshi training on Pluto.
Torao is off completing his knight training on Pluto.
Kibou, at 5 years old, currently has the bedroom to himself.
((To my family/friends. EDIT *** I have recycled this template. I hope that the descriptions above are appropriate. If you'd like me to edit and/or change something, please let me know. ^_^ This will be updated as we go along.))

 Setsuna worked diligently at the desk in her office, her slender fingers almost a blur as she typed away on an order from one of her clients, for which she was providing a thorough description of the product. It was an order for an elaborate, and very expensive wedding dress, and it was admittedly a rather large project for her to attempt on her own. Still, she was thankful for the work, as the customer was going to be paying extremely well for this one-of-a-kind design. Even though she was overwhelmed, she was genuinely happy again. Happier than she’d been in a very long time.
The last few years had been rather rough, with certain events having her at odds with people she loved, the most difficult part of which being her relationship with Tiger. They had their problems, but with time, effort, and a great deal of patience, they managed to work through the issues and be together again. Setsuna felt grateful for the trials now, for such hardships had only strengthened their bond and their love for each other. The one constant, unwavering priority between them was the importance of their children. She’d watched as Tiger had remained a good father throughout, and for that, she could not ask for more. They were a finally a family again.
Setsuna breathed a sigh of relief as she mulled over these thoughts, relieved that such concerns were long since over by now, but she was also grateful that such things made her the woman she is today. She marveled at these deep thoughts, that often took her into places where she would contemplate the meaning of life, with the constant motion of the universe. Even throughout the long life that she had led so far, she was still amazed that even when she felt as though she’d acquired a substantial amount of wisdom, there was always more to learn.
She backed away from her desk for a moment, stretching her arms up towards the ceiling as she yawned. She looked over at her sketchbook, which lay open next to the keyboard, showcasing the intricate sketch of the wedding dress she would soon have to sew by hand. She exhaled, her deep, evergreen bangs blown upward from the sudden gust of air from her lips. “Gods…” She murmured to herself as she picked up the sketch pad, feeling almost proud that she’d reached a point in her career where she could create something so beautiful. She gave a soft, grateful smile as she set it back down, standing up from the chair to stretch for a moment further. She noticed the time on the clock above her office door. It was past midnight, and she could still hear the faint sound of loud music being played from outside. Tiger always had music playing while he was in the garage working.
This concerned her, for she did not want him pulling an all-nighter just to keep this business going. Setsuna made her way through the foyer, back through the hallway to the back door, proceeding through the small garden to the garage door opening, hoping to spot Tiger where she expected him to be.

Tiger was pretty much the same and he was trying even harder now than ever and he’d even started his own business just like Setsu. There was heavy 80’s rock music playing loud in the garage wher he worked. He worked on motorcycles in the garage and repaired them for people all over the city. It wasnt paying much at first but he was gonna keep working hard until it did pay better. He was happy that he worked hard and proved himself to Setsuna and the cubs and he knew that she forgave him for being an idiot in the past. He was still gonna be himself sometimes just less stupid…..but that wasnt a surprise and he snickered thinking about it. Setsuna and the cubs were his life and his whole world that was for damn sure. Nothin was gonna change that. He wiped his brow and smudged grease on it and got some in his hair but he didnt care so much. He still was damn handsome as ever but he didnt obsess over grooming too much like he used to. He caught his reflection in a shiny pipe on the bike and grinned and admired his own chisled jaw. “Look at that jawline. Like a damn SLEDGEHAMMER.” He snickered and saw he had grease smudges all over his face but he stopped when he saw someone beautiful in the reflection with him. “Well hello.” He grinned to see Setsu. "You like the wifebeater? It's a hot look right? Shows off all these muscles." He grinned at his reflection in the bike.

Setsuna couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw Tiger, mainly because of the smudges he had all over himself and his clothes. Of course his muscles and physique were always attractive to her on a natural, primal level, but it was much more impressive for her to see him less worried about his own looks, and rather becoming tired, battered, and messy as a result of hard work, indicating an effort to provide a better source of income for his family. That was certainly a more important quality to have, or to develop, and she did not fail to notice it.
She spoke high enough to be heard over the loud, blaring music as she approached, hoping that he would at least get the hint and turn it down.
“You’ve got a little something on your face…” She yelled at the top of her voice, cupping her hands around her mouth as she spoke. “…it’s not healthy to work so late.” She added, knowing this well from experience, having told him countless times that starting his own business would be just like this. She knew that it would be difficult to work so hard after investing money in something that had the possibility to fail. Doing this also ran a risk of affecting one’s health, and she didn't want him to wear himself out, not after the long, difficult year they had.
“You should actually sleep tonight, or you’ll be cranky all day tomorrow.” She added with amusement, referring to him as though he were a child, even though he would be turning 33 in a few months.

“YEAH YEAH. Thanks MOM.” He snickered and flicked his golden mane to the side and cleaned his bike wrench with a rag. He wiped his face and it just put more smudges on his nose but he didnt notice. He went to the stereo and turned the music switched over to his other fave music style R&B. “Guess who’s gonna try to be more romantic.” He pointed to himself with his thumbs. “THIS guy.” He snickered and grabbed her hand and yanked her towards him against his chest with all the smudges and grease on his shirt. “Dance with me sweetness.”

Setsuna collided with him, already cringing at the thought of getting any kind of oil or grease on her white summer dress, but it was too late now. She looked up at him with a frown, ready to scold him, but she ultimately stopped herself. Setsuna was not going to scold him, not when he was putting forth this kind of effort on her behalf.
She finally shook her head with a gentle smile, placing her hands in his. “Very well. Why not...” Setsuna’s princess training came back to her as she posed, placing her one hand up on his shoulder, and one in his other hand. “...I am unfamiliar with this song. You will have to lead.” She surprised herself with this motion, assuming that she would have forgotten the steps of ballroom dancing by now. It had been over a thousand years since she'd even been to a ball, and it was even somewhat embarrassing to her that so many years had passed.
This brought her thought process further away from dancing, and back down the path concerning her age. She clearly did not age physically, but she sometimes felt really old within her soul. She sometimes wondered if her age bothered Tiger, even though anytime she asked him about it, she couldn’t recall him ever having an issue.
"Tiger...I know I've asked this before...but my age..." She inquired carefully. She was not normally this insecure. She concluded that she was just curious, and simply wondered if his mind had changed on the matter. She could have answered the question herself, for he was making the choice to stay with her. Still, she feared that this time her curiosity eclipsed her better judgement. "..I suppose neither of us are normal, though, are we?"

"AS IF." He cut her off when she talked about age. “I dont care. Your talkin to a guy who used to want younger women…..I was a stupid kid then.” He grinned. “I dont care. The only girl I want is you.” He grinned. “Dammit. Don’t be so royal. And dont think so much to make me look like an even bigger idiot.” He grinned and took her by the waist and dipped her easily in his strong arms. He held this dip and was now looking at her almost upside down. “Its a raunchy song but its my new jam.” He grinned and lifted her up and spun her around. “Your stressin me out with all the seriousness. Im gonna be makin’ some good money with this repair shop. Dont worry” He lowered her back down to the ground and set her on her feet. “Loosen up.” His tone was changing and getting more serious now. “I’m gonna take care of you and Kibou. I promise. Im gonna bring in more money for us.”

Setsuna couldn't help but chuckle at his response, now feeling foolish for even mentioning it again. She was not like the other senshi, but the same could be said for the outer senshi individually. Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru...each of them were unique women in their own way. It was something that was easy to forget, especially when she had not seen them in several years.
"Things never go well whenever you suggest that I ‘loosen-up’.“ She answered promptly as she moved on, although her answer sounded much less suggestive in her vast mind.
She soon forgot her concerns, with the sensation of being easily lifted by him, and held by him again. It almost made her want to weep for the time that they’d been apart. She reached her arms around his torso, hugging him tightly as she rested her head against his chest. She knew for certain that she would soon have oil on her face, and her clothes, but she didn’t pay it any mind. She shut her eyes tightly as she continued to hug him, feeling safe and secure in such a warm embrace. It felt like home. “You did take care of us, Tiger. Even when we were apart. You were always there.” She spoke quietly, taking in this peaceful moment. “I love you.”

He squeezed her tight and didnt even worry about the music playing anymore. “I love you too.”
[Yessssss. ]

**Time Skip ~Three Weeks**Three weeks later, on a Saturday morning, Setsuna went out for her usual run, needing the exercise and time to herself to clear her head. She was still waiting on the reviews for her last big project, which was that large, gorgeous wedding dress she created for a relatively wealthy client. The pay had been substantial, and she had taken the initiative to stash some away to pay for Kibou’s future education on Earth. Things were going well, but at the moment her business was slow, which made her feel rather uneasy.
This morning she wore her long, evergreen hair in a braid, which whipped behind her like a tail as she ran at a rather quick pace. She wore a tight, form-fitting, midriff-bearing yoga outfit of soft pink, and deep purple, with black yoga pants, complete with matching socks with a pair of soft, green running shoes.
She had run this path several times the past year, but this morning, she began to notice that the longer she ran, the more easily she was getting winded. She had to stop and rest, at least a couple of times, which started to confuse and even concern her. She had worked hard to get back into shape, and was very proud that she’d become slim and fit again. She was determined to finish this run, concluding that it was just one of those mornings where the air was going to be thick, and the run was going to be difficult.
She knew something was definitely wrong when she started to feel sick, which made her start frantically looking for a tree or bush…or anything to hide behind. She almost found herself in a panic until she found a decent spot, barely making it in time to expel her sickness in the secluded area. Several minutes went by before she came back around, slowly walking with her hands on her hips, her head hung in bewilderment as she panted from the sudden loss of fluids. “By the gods…what was that about?” The thought of feeling weaker was *not* appealing to her, especially after working so hard to become strong again.
However, the more she stood in silence, the sooner a very specific thought dawned on her, and it hit her like a ton of bricks. “No.”
Now, she was panicking, sprinting home at an accelerated pace that eventually made her sick again. She had no water left in her to get rid of, and simply coughed a bit before she finally reached home. She was so breathless, that she had to stop and sit down for a few minutes, even though she wanted so badly to run and find him.
“Tiger…” She panted frantically as soon as she felt well enough to do so, searching for him with the adrenaline within her body going absolutely haywire. “…Tiger. Tiger! TIGER!”

“HEY SWEETNESS!

Setsu…..you ok?” He looked worried and came to her and put his hands on her shoulders. “God you look pale. Are you sick?”

Setsuna swallowed a lump in her throat, and the fact that she felt emotional only made her want to cry more. This was a sure sign of a change in her hormones, and she knew this feeling too well to think that the culprit could be anything else. She was a strong woman, and for that she was most grateful, but of course, if her thoughts were correct…Her heart was pounding, and for a moment, it was all she could hear until she started to speak. “Tiger…I think…” Setsuna felt the embarrassing redness grow within her cheeks as she tried to speak. She was also trembling. Why was she trembling? “...I think…I could be...pregnant.”

"WHAH....HOOO....GUF...." He coughed and blushed and coughed some more. “Whah…tahm….whoooo…..”He felt like he was punched in the stomach. "Well um....we uh...we have.......we did um...." He cleared his throat and started a nervous laugh. “…..Uh…hehehehe…yeah. Good one.” He laughed even more and pretended she didnt say what he thought she did. No way. There was no way. Not again. “…You GOT me! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!” He shut his mouth and stopped and looked at her. “…..uh. You got me….right?” He took her by the shoulders. “RIGHT???”

 Setsuna stared him straight in the eye, her deep, cherry eyes focused in an unwavering gaze that spoke nothing but seriousness. "I know what this feels like, Tiger." She kept her arms crossed tightly against her body as she stood there, still hardly believing the words herself. She had no proof, but what else could it be? "I...I think I need to sit down." She and Tiger already had three biological children together, Suzuka, Torao, and Kibou. They also had the adopted Yumiko, who, due to her rapid aging and exceptional magical abilities, was already an adult. Plus there was also the case of Eris, whom they took in after her timeline was erased completely, although she was out living her own life. Suzuka and Torao were not at home, as they were currently receiving their senshi and knight training on Pluto. Kibou, they were still raising, for at five years old, he would not be going to Pluto until he was twelve. It wasn’t as though they didn’t have plenty of room for a new baby. But still…if she was indeed pregnant again…they were certainly not ready for it. Setsuna knew she wanted to be a mother from the moment she first met Chibiusa, her beloved Small Lady. She thought about Hotaru, and having the chance to raise her with Haruka and Michiru, which was her first, real taste of motherhood. This had not been enough, for the deep-seated loneliness seemed to be too embedded in her old soul. Why did she stop to think about all of this? She knew she should feel grateful. She’d been a lonely time guardian for thousands of years, plagued by a loneliness she felt she could never escape. She currently had but a brief chance to have a family with the person that she loved. She shouldn’t feel guilty about having another baby while she was able. Should she? Setsuna said nothing for the next several moments, for she knew that if she waited long enough, the information would finally sink into Tiger's thick skull.

“Guf…MEHHH……huuuu…” He saw the look on her face and saw the wheels were turning in her head cause he knew her really well. “Setsu.” He still felt the panic but he went through all this before too. He wanted to try and handle it better too. “Um…huh…we....um…..we should get you a pregnancy test…yeah?” He kept his hands on her shoulders . “….I um. I will….I so…I just…” He cleared his throat. “AHEM. I uh…..we should make sure with a test. ……You, uh....you got one somewhere?”
