RIGHT HERE WAITING(Part 7)
BY:JLALA
A month later...
"You mean to tell me that the decorators of the hall quit two weeks 
before your wedding",said Darien as he and Andrew sat on the couch.
"Yup",Andrew confirmed."It seems that Rita and the decorator had a 
mishap.Rita said she couldn't do anything right" He sighed to himself.
Woman could be such a trial sometimes.Speaking of which where was 
Darien's little woman?"Hey where's Serena?"
"She in the bedroom CLEANING",Darien answered and looked at the 
bedroom door where the sound of someone shuffling about could be heard.
"Now that something I don't say everyday"
"CLEANING?!",Andrew repeated."Is she sick or something?"
"Nope just pregnant",Darien told him."I think it's what they call the
nesting period" Just then Serena came out to the room in a loose shirt
and flannel shorts.Her hair up in a messy bun as tendrils came loose
surrounding her face.She brightly smiled as she saw that Andrew had 
come for a visit.
"Hey you",she said to him.Sitting between them she kissed Andrew on 
the cheek hello and lean her head on Darien's shoulder."What are you 
doing here?"
"Just telling Darien about my situation",he explained."You see Rita 
and the decorator had a fight and she quit.So now Rita and I are stuck 
with a huge room and boxes of decorations but no one to do the hall 
for us!" He threw his head back in exasperation."Be happy that you 
guys just eloped" 
Serena and Darien exchanged a look."Well why don't you just get a 
bunch of your friends to decorate the hall with you.Darien and I would
LOVE to help!" Darien had a skeptical look on his face but Serena hit 
him in the stomach with her elbow.He quickly nodded knowing if he 
crossed the line it'd be his neck!"I ask my friends if they'll come 
too"
"You do that for me?",Andrew asked and she nodded.He got up happily
and walked to the door as the couple trailed behind him.Serena waved
and went to the kitchen leaving the two alone."Thanks for doing this
for us.I know it's not your kind of thing" Andrew smiled sincerely
at his friend.
"No,don't worry about it.I'd love too and if I didn't Serena would
choke me to death",he said and laughed.Andrew looked at his friend's
happy face realizing how much being with Serena had changed him.He
was overjoyed for him and hoped he'd have the same look when he married
Rita.
"Darien I'm glad you married Serena",Andrew commented suddenly."You've
changed since you've been with her.I mean take a look around"
"Thanks",Darien said and smiled at his friend.Andrew left and Darien
glanced around the living room.Pictures hung on the walls and a vase
of roses stood on the coffee table.Lying around were Serena's magazines
mixed his medical books.On the fireplace was the picture they had taken 
at the Pier in San Francisco.In the years he had lived there the place 
didn't even have a decent paint job but in the months Serena had stayed
here she had breathed life into the place.She had breathed life into 
him,for he was truly nothing without her.For that the love he had for 
her grew more and more pulsating with life with each day passing.What
could he possibly offer her though? Nothing but himself.But would she
want him?
*****************************
"I can't believe Serena made us do this!",Raye said angrily as
she tried to unravel a string of lights.Her brown eyes blazed with
determination and she chewed on her lower lip.
"Oh shut up Raye!",Mina said cheerily,a bright smile pasted on her 
face.She sat in chair happily making silk rose wreaths to hang around 
the hall."I love weddings and since I'm single this is the closest I'm 
getting to one.Plus you should be taking notes Raye!You may be next"
"Not me",she responded and laughed to herself."I'm not even close but
Ami is" The blue haired beauty blushed from where she stood opening
boxes and pulling cream tablecloths out."By the way had Greg popped the
question yet?"
"No",Ami answered quietly and looked down in shyness about the topic
of conversation."We've talked about it though"
"I knew it!",exclaimed Lita who was trying to think away to set the 
tables up.A group of Andrew's friends stood aside talking waiting for 
her instructions."No wonder you've been so quiet about anything to do 
with you and Greg" Ami continued to pull things out of the box avoiding 
their inquiring stares.
"You guys!Stop bothering her!",Serena chatised as she walked into the 
room carrying a box.Darien walked behind her carrying several more 
boxes.He groaned and Serena put her box down on the floor and took
two more boxes from his arms."She'll tell us when she wants to"
Ami smiled gratefully at her blonde friend who wore baby blue overalls
and a white shirt,her hair in it's usual meatballs.
"Thanks",she mumbled to Serena as she walked past her.Serena grabbed
her arm and pulled to her.
"No problem",she answered to smiled."Just make sure if there is ANY 
news,I'll be the first to know!"
Ami laughed."I knew there was a catch" She looked at her friend 
lovingly.Serena was different,not bad different but a more matured,
level-headed person.In the case that she was talking about 
Serena it was strange to her.Ami was happy however for Serena who was
having a baby and had a husband who loved her a lot.Somethings
made life more worthwhile.Her thoughts were interupted by Lita who
was yelling loudly at Raye and Mina. 
"No the table for the wedding party should go below the stage,and the 
band should be right on the stage",Lita said to the two girls pointing 
at the diagram in her hand.
"It'll look horrible!",yelled Raye and crossed her arms."The band 
should be over there" She pointed to the back of the room.
"Why would we put them in the back?",asked Mina."I say you put them in
next to that wall"
"That's even more horrible than what I suggested!",Raye said loudly
turning some heads.
"Oh no....",Ami moaned leaning against Serena."I feel an argument 
coming on" Serena nodded,this was one thing she didn't miss when she 
left.
"OH SHUT UP RAYE!"
"NO YOU SHUT UP!JUST CAUSE MY IDEA IS BETTER THAN YOURS YOU DON'T 
HAVE TO YELL!"
"YOU'RE YELLING TOO!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Serena sighed looking at her three friends
who were all in the middle of the room embarassing the hell out
of themselves.All eyes were on them and the room was quiet as a
mouse.She couldn't take anymore and her head began to pound.Serena 
could hear the sound of their yelling pulsing in her ears.A loud 
whistle interupted the argument.
"CAN YOU ALL PLEASE BE QUIET!",Serena yelled and they all looked at 
her with wide eyes.The three who were about to all kill each other had
their hands frozen in mid-air and Ami's jaw dropped to the floor."Okay 
listen up!The table for the wedding party will go on the stage,the band 
will go on the large corner next to the stage and the buffet tables 
will go on that wall.Put the tables around the dance floor but leave 
enough room for dancing.Now all of you,GET TO WORK!" Everyone looked at
her in surprise hardly believing that this was their sweet,innocent 
Serena.She put her hands to her hips and her eyes narrowed."What are 
you looking at?" Immediately everyone got themselves together and 
scrambled to work,the sound of talking filled the room again.
"What happened to you?",asked Ami putting a hand on her friend's 
shoulder."I never seen you yell like that"
"I know",Serena agreed confused at what she did."I was so RUDE and 
BOSSY.Ohmigosh!I'm turning into RAYE!" She put her face to her hands
in mock fear.
"I heard that!",Raye bellowed from across the room.Ami and Serena
laughed and Raye stuck her tongue out at her friends.Across the room
Darien and Andrew arranged tables into the way Serena had instructed...
no commanded them to.Andrew looked at the petite blond still in 
disbelief over her instructive manner and blew out a breath.
"What?",asked Darien knowing his friend had something on his mind.
"Is she always like that?",Andrew inquired jokingly.
"Nope",Darien said to him and smiled softly as he looked
at Serena who was laughing loudly with her friends.Darien watched
as she tossed her long sun blond hair back and walked gracefully 
through the room helping anyone she could "She's actually...more 
sweeter,quieter too"
"That must have changed when you guys got married!",Andrew joked
and laughed loudly.Darien groaned at his friend's dumb joke as he 
picked a box up.
"I wouldn't be that one to joke Andrew.You're getting married in a few
days,remember?",Darien told him and laughed at he walked off leaving 
his friend to think about what he said.
"Hey...",Andrew said and ran to off after Darien."What was that 
supposed to mean?!"
*************************************
"Gosh that was so sadddd!",sobbed Serena who sat on the couch 
sniffling,Raye groaned annoyed and Mina put her arm around her.
Serena was almost nineteen but she still had those endless faucets in 
her eyes.
"Don't cry Serena",Lita said soothingly and handed her a tissue.She 
turned off the television "It was just a Hallmark commercial!"
"I know...",whimpered Serena."It was just so beautiful!" She started 
to cry again and the her familiar wail made her friends put their hands 
to their ears.The door opened to the apartment and Darien,Andrew and 
Rita entered.When he saw Serena,Darien almost dropped the bags of food he 
he had to go to her.
"What's wrong sweetie?",he asked putting his arm around her.
"It's nothing Darien",Ami informed him and sat next to Serena."Her 
hormonal imbalance is just causing high emotional mood swings"
"What??!",Mina said confusment clouding her face."Ami how about
putting that in terms that us regular people can understand!" 
"She's just cranky",Ami said.
"I'm sorry",Serena apologized and leaned her head against Darien's
chest.His heartbeat quicken at the warm feeling of her head against 
him.
"I don't know what's come over me" He rubbed her back calmingly and 
she smiled softly to herself.
"Don't worry about it",he told her."I understand it must be hard for 
you"
"Thanks",she responded and looked at him,her teal eyes still a little 
watery.She managed to give him a smile and he touched her face with 
the back of his hand wiping her tears away.Her small face lit up from 
his touch and the two looked into each others eyes.The gesture was so 
sweet,so tender that each of the girls started to tear up.Serena looked
down quickly,her cheeks burning.
"Now that was beautiful!!!",sobbed Mina.Serena laughed at her friend
but hugged her also.
"Enough tears",she said to her friends and Darien helped her up.The
girls all nodded wiping their tears away.Rita then took her hand and
led to the dining room table.
"Serena",she said carefully."I know that it's kind of late but I 
wanted to asked you something" She nodded."You see I have three sisters 
who all wanted to be my Maid of Honor.I didn't want to pick cause I 
didn't want any any of them to feel bad so I decided not to have one.
Until now" Rita looked at her in earnest."Serena would you like to be 
my Maid of Honor?"
"I couldn't!",Serena exclaimed."I mean look at me-I'm huge!I couldn't
even fit into a gown!"
"I have a friend who can make dresses in a snap",Rita said."We'll just 
get some measurements and you're ready.Say you'll do it,please?" She
looked at the others.The senshi were all nodding telling her to do it
and Darien smiled at her urging her to say yes.
"Okay I do it!",she said with a smile.Rita smiled and grabbed her for 
a hug.
"Thank you,thank you,thank you!",she squealed.
"No problem",Serena answered smiling at her friends but stopped 
suddenly.A panicked feeling went through her.Darien noticed immediatly
and put his hand on her shoulder.
"What's wrong?",he asked and his face took on a serious look.
"Nothing",she said and a smiled spread through her face."Just
this" Serena placed his hand on her stomach and he felt a small
movement.
"Oh my god",he said in amazement and Darien's eyes went wide."It
kicked!" The others joined them looking in awe at the little wonder.
"Can you believe",Serena said proudly."My baby just kicked!" Then
grimaced."That's weird.I think it punched me too!"
"Punched?",Ami said and placed a hand to Serena's stomach feeling
it for herself."That doesn't happen very often.Actually never."
"I must be hungry or something",Serena said waving the suspicion
out of her mind."Where's the food?"
"Here",Andrew said holding the bags."Lita I think we cleaned out your
resturant with all the food we got!"
"Don't worry about it",she said."It's my way of saying thanks for 
hiring me for your wedding.But why so much?" She gestured to the loads
of food on the table.
"Just wait",said Darien and she saw why.Serena had already got a plate 
and was loading it up with a helping of everything.A chicken drumstick 
in one of her hands.Her friends laughed use to it and joined her.The
meal was delicious and everyone talked as they relished in the food.
"Darien can you hand me the-",she said occupied by her food but before 
finishing her sentence Darien had handed her a bottle of ketchup.
"And the-" He handed her the mustard.
"Don't forget a-" Darien handed her a napkin without even thinking 
about it as continued to eat.The others had stopped to stare and were 
silent.
"How'd you guys do that",Raye asked in disbelief.
"Do what?",they both said at the same time and looked at each other.
"You know that thing!",Mina said."Darien you knew what she wanted
before she said it.Now that was weird.But how'd you do it?"
They made eye contact and shrugged.This question they couldn't even 
answer themselves.What would they say?
"Telepathy....",they both said and gave their friends unconvinced
smiles.
******************************************
The day of the wedding had come and the senshi in their best dresses
waiting in the pews in anticipation.Mina wore a short peachy orange 
dress with spaghetti straps and a small slit in the front,in her hair 
was orange bow.Lita had on a light green cap sleeve dress that went 
above the knees and her brown hair was in it's usual ponytail though
the tips were curled.Ami had on a lilac blue dress that tied around
her neck and had an A-line fit.Raye decided on a burgundy tube dress
and matching platforms.They watched as a young girl in a pastal pink
ruffly dress threw flowers to ground,her little cherub face glowing 
with pleasure.Next came Rita's sisters who all wore matching blushing 
pink dresses that elegantly swept against the floor.Serena walked 
calmly down the aisle despite her pregnancy.She wore a embroidered,
ivory tulle dress with a roseate pink lining and spaghetti straps.Her 
hair in down and curled with two pink flower barettes on the side.In 
her small hands was a bouquet of white roses tied in pink bow.Darien 
stood looking in adoration at the angelic enchantress walking down the 
aisle.She gave him a thumbs up telling him everything was okay.Everyone 
stood up as Rita entered with her father.The dress was pure white and 
high at the waist then flowing to the floor.A white veil with flowers 
on the top framed her face,a collective sigh went through the chapel.
Serena also sighed to herself.The wedding was beautiful,a dream 
practically.Serena found herself wanting a wedding of her own.She 
glimpsed at Darien who was in black tuxedo looking handsomer than ever.
He was gonna make someone a great husband one day. The 
thought occured in her head colliding with another voice that nagged 
her. She 
shook her head denying it but somehow in her secret heart it was true.
Though Serena was not about to go and tell him,the hurt in her still 
ran deep.A raw cut in her tender heart.Darien looked at Serena who 
looked as though she was talking to the voices in her head.He smiled 
fondly at her.She was beautiful in her lilac pink dress but it wasn't 
her beauty that made him love her.It was something more.It was her 
heart,the pureness of it that made him his own heart call out to her.
He listened to the vows his two friends made and glanced at Serena who
looked dreamily at the scene in front of her.For a split second Darien 
had almost wished it was their wedding.It was the first time in his 
life he ever wanted anything so bad.To have her would be having 
everything.He thought were interuppted by the priest saying
his last blessing.
"I now pronounce you man and wife",he said and smiled."You may kissed
the pride" Andrew lifted the veil and kissed his new wife softly on 
the lips.The joyful music sounded through the church and they couple 
walked the aisle.Followed the bridemaids and groomsmen,then the flower 
girl.Serena and Darien smiled at each other linking arms going down 
the aisle.
"Wow",Serena said."What a day"
"And it's not over yet",he remarked.
****************************************
"What a party",commented Serena as she sat in a fold out chair in the
hall.Darien who sat next to her held a glass of champagne and nodded
agreeing with her.The recption was beautiful,down to every single 
detail.The room now was a mess however and the newlyweds were dressing 
into their traveling clothes in the back rooms.The senshi had all gone 
home with each of their boyfriends except for Mina who had met a guy 
that night and went to club with him."How do you think it went?"
"Perfect",he said and put his glass down.His handsome face then with
into a serious look."Except for one thing"
"What?"
"I never saw you dance this whole night",he told her and a michevious 
glint came to his eyes.Her eyes went wide knowing what he had in mind.
"You know I'd just klutz myself out",She argured and he pulled her up.
Going to a small radio the band used when they were on break,he
pressed a button and slow ballad came on."Oh no...You're not making me 
do this"
"Just once Serena",he said softly and entwined his fingers in hers."For
fun" She looked up at him and blushed leaning her head against his 
chest,a crimson coming to her cheeks.Closing her eyes she listened,not 
knowing how true the song was to Darien's feelings.
Verse
There's someone in love with you,you know
Just don't wanna let that feeling show
Because they're not sure that you could ever feel the same
But now he would like to take a chance
In hopes that you both will find romance
In case you are willing
There something I'd like you to know

Girl if ever you call me 
I'm there for you girl,right or wrong
I'm telling you now girl
If ever you need me
I promise you I'll gave you my all

The two swayed to the music unaware that two figures watched them
from a doorway.
"Do you realized that they've helped us so much they had no time for
themselves",Rita said to her husband who had his arm around her."There
must be something we could do"
"I've got an idea",he responded and pulled her away leaving the two
alone again.

Verse
Someone who will love and sacrifice
Who knows what it means to treat you right
Someone who won't changed his mind
but always feels the same
He wants to open up your heart
In hope that true love might one day start
Girl if you are willing
There's something I'd like you to know

The lights dimmed in the room and hundred of tiny yellow christmas 
lights lit the ballroom adding to it's elegance.Serena looked around 
amazed and delighted with the beauty of bright lights which decorated 
the room,like the night sky full of stars.
"It's beautiful",she gasped taking in the pretty sight."But who turned 
them on?"
"I think I have a pretty good idea who",he said and she turned to see 
Andrew and Rita who were smiling at them.Andrew gave them a thumbs
up and Rita winked.Both then left after waving a goodbye.

Chorus
Girl if ever you call me 
I'm there for you girl,right or wrong
I'm telling you now girl
If ever you need me
I promise I'll give you my...

Darling here's my heart
Please take care of my darling dear
Cause I,I do,Love you...
It's true...
And I hope that you are willing girl
To love me every turn 
And if you are I want you to know...

Girl if ever you call me
I'm there for you girl,right or wrong
I'm telling you now girl
If ever you need me
I promise you I'll give you my all
Yeah baby...

Girl if you ever you call me
I'm there for you,right or wrong
I'm telling you now girl
If ever you need me
I promise you I'll give you my all.....

The music faded slowly and the two were on left in the silence
of the ballroom.They faced one another and Serena could her heartbeat
in her ears.She smiled softly at him and looked down all of a sudden
shy.
"We have some sweet friends",she said to him laughing to herself 
through her nervousness.
"Yeah crazy,sweet friends....",he whispered huskily.Serena looked up 
hearing the sound of his voice and felt the butterflies in her stomach.
His eyes looked down at her and she knew something was gonna happen.Her
eyelids lowered and held her to him tightly.Their lips edge closer 
and closer to one another...
"Darien I'm kind of tired",she said quietly and drew away from him.
Turning around she walked slowly out leaving Darien to worry about
what they might have done and what it might have done to what to their
relationship.
*******************************
The drive home had been quiet,almost awkward and Darien felt as if
he had made a grave mistake.Entering the apartment Serena laid down
on the couch and took off her shoes.
"Gosh my feet hurt",she said trying to change the atmosphere.Before
she could Darien sat next to her and turned to apologize.
"Serena I'm-",he started to say but Serena put her fingers to his lips.
She sat up and gave him a forgiving smile.
"Don't say anything",she told him."It's already forgotten" He nodded
and went to his room to change to his night clothes.Taking his clothes 
off,Darien whistled the tune of the song they had danced to.Putting on 
some sweats and a white shirt.
"It was a beautiful wedding,wasn't it?",he said to Serena who was still
in the living room.
"Yeah..."
"You know what?",he said and ran his fingers through his hair.Darien 
went into the living room as he talked."I kinda wished at one point-"
Looking up Darien saw that Serena had fallen asleep on the couch."-it
was our wedding" He sighed and went to her.Picking her up,Darien 
carried her sleeping figure to the bedroom and wrapped Serena 
carefully in the blankets.Putting the blanket to her chin,he touched 
her smooth cheek and kissed her forehead.Serena breathe in deeply and 
her long eyelashes fluttered.Could anything be so beautiful? Looking 
down at her sleeping face,he took in a breath "God I love you Serena"
