RIGHT HERE WAITING(Epilogue)
BY:JLaLa
"So how do I look?",Serena asked and glanced nervously into the
mirror.Turning she looked at her friends who watched in awe at
her beauty.Raye walked slowly to her friend and laid her hands on
Serena's shoulders.Looking in the mirror with her,Raye smiled.
"You're perfect",she whispered hoarsely.She wiped her eyes and
patted her friends back."Absolutely perfect" It was true.Serena
was without a doubt breathtakingly beautiful.Her dress was dove white
with a tight bodice and the skirt was a waterfall of satin with a sheer
overlay.The overlay had a delicate design of intricate rose patterns
and the sleeves were made to reveal her creamy shoulders.She took a
breath and her silk veil moved slightly.A pair of handmade white rose
bands were wrapped carefully around her buns to hold them together and
also prevent the veil from falling.The rest of Serena's hair fell in a
mass of curls and sparkled from the silver glitter her friends had put
in her hair.This was it.She was getting married and it was about time!
She smiled softly to herself and turned when a knock was heard on the
door.
"Who is it?",Mina called out as the others fixed themselves up in
front of the mirror.
"It's the father of the bride",Ken said and Mina let him in.Ken entered
and smiled at the girls as he adjusted the neckline of his black
tuxedo.Slowly his eyes moved towards Serena and a happy smile came to
his face.This was his little girl,his pride and joy in her wedding
dress.God,time sure went fast.He walked towards her and twisted the
white gloves he held in his hands."Honey you look so lovely..."
Serena gave him a scared grin and she looked up at him,her veil
covering her pretty face.
"Thanks Dad",she said softly and took a breath."Gosh I'm so nervous!"
Ken looked at the others and gave them a look that told them to leave
for a minute.Slowly the Senshi tiptoed to the door and left the two
alone.
"I wanted to give this to you as my last present to my little girl",he
said and took a small box of his pocket.Opening it he revealed a small
diamond teardrop with a small silver chain.He took it out delicately
and she gasped at it's beauty."This will be my first present to the
beautiful woman she's become" He wrapped the necklace around her neck
as she pulled her hair up.Clipping it the clasp together he looked in
the mirror and the diamond fell above her chest shining brightly."This
necklace holds all the dreams that your mother and I have for you.
Dreams we know you'll achieve.The diamonds won't last forever I assure
you but the love your mother and I have for you will" Tears filled
Serena's eyes and she took his hand. Turning to him she wrapped her
arms around him in an embrace.
"I love you daddy",she said in his ear."I may be getting married but
you're the first guy in my life that really truly loved me" The sound
of violins interuppted them;Serena and her father laughed ruining
the moment.He took one last look at her and for a moment he saw a
three year old Serena,hair in little curled pigtails standing in front
of him.Blinking the image turned back to Serena in her wedding gown
sighing sadly he gave her a smile.
"So you ready?",he asked and held out his arm for her.Serena inhaled
taking in a deep breath and looked at her father who eyes were mist
over.Giving him a reassuring squeeze on the arm,she took it.
"Ready as I'll ever be",Serena said.
*****************************************************
The sound Pachelbel's Canon in D flowed from the violins and Darien
ran a hand through his dark hair.His dark blue eyes watched as Serena's
friends made their way down the aisle,each in a lavander dress.Mina
walked smoothly down the aisle her dress flowing down to the floor
as two spaghetti straps that crossed in the back held it up.Two
diamond clips held Mina's blond hair from each side and the rest flowed
down the back in spiral curls.Ami walked two steps behind her in a
similar dress to Mina's except that Ami's was held up by two straps
tied around her neck.Her shoes were similar to a ballerina's and were
held on by ribbons that were tied around Ami ankles.The shoe also had
heels and the tip of it pointed out instead of in like ballerina shoes.
After Ami was Lita who for this occasion had taken her hair down.It
now fell into a soft wave around her shoulder.Her dress was strapless
and had silk layer going over a sheer layer decorated with tiny flowers.
Being quite tall she had refused to wear heels and settled for a pair
of strappy open heeled matching sandals.Raye,Serena's Maid of Honor
wore a violet dress like the others.This one however was tight on the
chest and flowed down to the floor.Around her neck was a silken scarf
that went down her back and her burgundy brown hair was in tightly
woven French braid.Each one was gorgeous in her own way;The dresses
only adding to their beauty.One similarity they all shared however
were the rings they wore on their fingers.A week ago Serena had
presented them each with their own personalized ring.Their
names were engraved in calligraphy in the outside but their planet
names were written in the inside.She had given it as a sign of their
enternal sisterhood and love.Serena however did not expect to have
four grown girls bawled all over her.They all laughed at the thought
in their minds.Molly,Serena's friend had let her daughter Christine
be the flowergirl for the wedding.Little Christine smiled brightly as
she made her way down the aisle in violet and white laced dress.Her
bright red hair was held by a white headband and as she walked
Christine scattered petal of white roses down the aisle.The violins
suddenly changed to "The Wedding March" and Darien's heart quicken as
the crowd stood up.Walking gracefully down the aisle Serena held her
father's arm, a beautiful smile on her face.Her white dress dragged
gracefully against the floor and Darien could see her bright blue eyes
under her veil.He was captivated by her beauty and he lovingly gazed
at her.As she made her way toward him,Ken stopped and gave her a kiss
before giving her to Darien.Sitting next to his wife Ken felt a pain
in his heart,the pain of giving up his only baby girl.Ilene took his
hand and gave it a supporting squeeze.She knew it wasn't the end of
anything,it was just the beginning.
*************************************
Holding Serena's hand Darien looked up at the priest who stood above
them.He was a tall,stately man and had friendly smile which was on
his face at that moment.
"We're gathered here today to joined these two people in holy
matrimony.Love is beyond everything.It never dies but lives on
the souls of every person who believes in it.We are here today
to joined two people as one.One heart,one soul and one mind.May
they always have faith in the love they created and need never
to lose sight of one another" The two looked at each other as the
priest continued,love reflecting in their eyes.Their insides both
burned with love and deep passion for one another.As they said their
vows to love,honor and cherish,Serena and Darien knew that their love
would go beyond all that.It went past eternity and more.For
their love was different from all others.The priest asked for the
rings and Andrew,the best man quickly dug into his pocket.Producing
the two rings Darien took the first one,a thin gold wedding band
inside the inscription:"My Only Love..." was written,a small rose
engraved next to it.
"Darien repeat after me",the priest instructed."With this ring I thee
wed" Darien looked at Serena's deep blue eyes and he felt something
in him quicken.He wasn't afraid anymore.This is what he wanted.SHE was
what he wanted.
"With this ring",he said hoarsely and slipped the ring on her finger.
"I thee wed" A tear fell from her eye and she swallowed the lump in
her throat.Raye handed a thick gold band with the same inscription as
hers:"My Only Love..." except his was followed by a crescent moon.
"Serena,repeat after me",The priest said again."With this ring,I thee
wed"
"With this ring" She placed ring on his finger and looked up at him.
His dark eyes told her that this was right.She knew it was love.
Something deep,pure,and true."I thee wed" Her voice quieted into a
tear filled whisper.The priest nodded reassuringly at them.
"What god has made one,let no man put asunder",he said and smiled."I
now pronounce you man and wife" The two looked at one another in
anticipation.The priest chuckle at the two."Go ahead.Kiss her."
Darien lifted Serena's veil revealing her enchantingly beautiful
face.Her mouth curled in a lovely grin and he smiled back at her.
"I love you",he said smiling and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Touching her face,Darien wiped the tears that fell down her smooth
face.
"I love you",she whispered and he lowered his lips to hers.The fire
within them grew and the couple found themselves enamored in a passion
filled kiss.A loud applaused thundered from within the crowd as they
kissed.The two had forgotten that they were in a church until the
yelling began....
"Go Darien!",Sammy shouted from behind Andrew and his mother quickly
shot him a scolding look.
"That is definitely NOT church tongue",Raye remarked and the others
giggled.Mina started taking pictures at the two and Lita got her
camcorder to record their kiss.
"You know what?",Lita said as she taped."This has got to be some world
record or something" She walked up to the two and closed up on them.
"And they're still at it"
"The babies are gonna love seeing their parents make out",Ami said
jokingly."You guys think we should stop them?They are taking kinda
long and long periods without air cause fainting spells"
"Hey Serena,Darien...",Andrew said and the two continued ignoring him.
He tried again louder and still no response."Serena,Darien" He tapped
on his friend's shoulder and not even a slight movement to indicate
that they knew who was there.He shrugged and the others groaned.
Suddenly the same idea popped on their heads.
"SERENA,DARIEN!!!" This time they all yelled making the people walking
out of the church turn around.
"What?!",Serena said finally and her husband growled angrily at their
interruption.Darien wrapped his strong arms around her from behind.
"It's about time you two got up for air",Raye said and smile wickedly.
"Imagine when your children see this video!"Serena laughed in spite of
the joke on her.She began to walk with Darien outside where the other
guests where waiting to send them off.Serena smiled blissfuly to
herself.Things couldn't get any better.Suddenly the sound of yelling
was heard and Serena winced.She knew she wasn't that lucky
"HEY I GET TO HOLD THE BABIES!"
"NO ME!"
"NEITHER OF YOU CAUSE IT'S MY TURN TO HOLD THEM!"
"WELL I NEED THE PRACTICE!"
All eyes turned to Ami and she blushed heavily.Serena looked at her
finger and saw a sparkling diamond ring.She smiled brightly at her
friend and grabbed her for a hug.
"Ami!I can believe it!",she exclaimed as the others congratulated the
newly engaged Ami."Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well we were so busy with your wedding I never had a chance",Ami
answered quietly."I didn't want to go and have everyone think about
another wedding while planning yours"
"Oh honey!I wouldn't have minded" Serena held her friend at arms
length and laughed happily."You will be needing to practice after all!"
Raye step forward sheepishly and held her hand up showing them her
ring.
"Well um I think we may be planning two weddings"
"Make that three" Lita came forward with a huge smile on her face
and Serena hugged her tightly.However over Lita's shoulder Serena
saw Mina's downcast face.Walking over to her she lifted her chin
and gave a friend a loving smile.
"Don't worry about it Mina" Serena put her hand on her shoulder."You'll
find that one perfect guy and soon we'll be buying you the lingerie!"
"Actually I don't mind all that much" A sly grin came to her face and
she look at Serena who was suddenly having a bad feeling in her
stomach.Mina put a arm around her friend's shoulder."More the reason
for you to throw the bouquet MY way!"
********************************
Darien opened his eyes and looked at the clock.2:00am.The sound
of wailing came from the nursery and Serena eyes slowly opened.
Before she could even think of getting up Darien sat up and put
a hand on her shoulder.
"Let me",he whispered in Serena's ear and kissed the side of her head.
Smiling softly Serena closed her eyes again.Darien got of bed quickly
and walked into the nursery.Looking around his eyes stopped at the two
certificates on the wall.A week ago Darien had officially adopted the
twins.They were now Annalyn May Tsukino Chiba and Daryl John Tsukino
Chiba.He liked the sound of that.Smiling he walked over to the crib to
see Baby Annalyn crying her head off.Droplets fell from her little face
and flooded her blue eyes.Picking her up he cradled and rocked her
softly.
"Sweetie don't cry",he said soothingly."We wouldn't want you to wake
your brother would we?" Walking into the living room turned the lights
on and quickly dimmed them so it wouldn't hurt the baby's eyes.
Annalyn's crying had become a small whimper and she was now looking up
at him with big,innocent eyes.She looked so much like Serena.As he
carried her Darien put an old record he had on and the music began with
a guitar solo.
"Hey what you doing?" A voice asked and Darien to see Serena holding
Baby Daryl in her arms.His small face solemn and quiet.He looked at his
momma curiously and waved his arms back and forth.
"We were just about to have a little dance",he said grinning."Would
you like to join us?"
"Did you even have to asked?",Serena answered and smiled up at him.
Walking to him he wrapped one arm around her waist as he held the baby
with the other.Serena leaned her head against his chest and put an arm
around his waist.Swaying slowly to the music Darien kissed the top of
Serena's head as she lowered her eyelids.He silently he thanked God for
everything and then closed his eyes as he listened to the music.
Wisemen say,Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay,would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes,somethings were meant to be
Take my hand,Take my whole life too
For I can help falling in love with you
Serena looked up at him and lovingly smiled at him.Glancing down she
saw the two babies peacefully asleep.God she loved them,her little
angels."They're beautiful,aren't they?" He seemed to have read her
thoughts."Why should I be surprised though,they take after you" She
grinned softly at Darien as he kissed her softly on the forehead.
Closing her eyes again she leaned her head against his chest.
"I love you",she whispered.Looking down at her beautiful face as she
closed her eyes serenely.Darien felt as though he had fallen for her
all over again.He stroked her hair and tightened his arm around her
small waist protectively.Looking down at his family he smiled.This is
how it was always meant to be.
"I love you too Serena"
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes,somethings were meant to be
Take my hand,Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you......
