RIGHT HERE WAITING....(Part 4)
By:JLaLa
"Mom!Dad!",Serena exclaimed as they stood grinning at her.
Ilene and Ken Tsukino had decided to surprise their daughter
by coming to San Francisco for two weeks.She was always writing
and telling them how she was having the time of her life.
"What are you doing here?" She could only manage a weak smile
and Serena tried not to panic.Darien was in the bathroom and
if he came out,so would her father's shotgun!
"Honey you look so grown up!",her mother said and hugged her tightly.
Serena wore a long,loose botton down shirt which just happen to be
Darien's.The bulge in her stomach was hardly noticiable in the
shirt...except when she sat down.Her mother noticed her weight
gain though and slight look of concern came to her face."Are you
gaining weight?"
"Well..you know all that San Francisco food can fill you up!",Serena
said quickly and ran to hugged her father.He looked down at her and
smiled proudly.His little girl was a beautiful woman with silver hair
and the loveliest blue eyes he'd ever seen(You know how dads are when
it comes to their little girls!)He saw something more in her however.A
great change had occured in her.She was...different.Was it the way she
carried herself,more gracefully and self-assured? Or was it that look
in her eyes,that mix between intense pain and joyous happiness? Ken
quickly shook it off telling himself that it was just his tiredness.
The rattling of a doorknob made him turn around and let go of
Serena.Out came a tall,handsome man with dark eyes and hair.Ken knew
this kid...it was that Chiba boy!The one that Serena had always fought
with in Japan.He had always suspected that Darien had a crush on his
little girl!Darien dressed in a pair of khakis and a white shirt
looked at them with a calmly though inside he was panicking!He could
practically see the steam coming out of Mr.Tsukino's ears.He was in
trouble.With a capital T. TROUBLE.
"Serena what's going on here?",her mother asked looking from Darien
to her husband,who was ready to kill.She put her hand on Ken's shoulder
and looked at Serena who fumbling with her own hands.
"Well...you see...um...um..it all started about three months
ago...",she said stammering when another knock on the door was heard.
 Yanking the door
open,she saw it was a co-worker of Darien's.What was her name again?
Darien had told her about the people he worked for.She was the head
doctor.Doctor...O'...Lyon...That wasn't it...O'Brien!That was it!
O'Brien! Dr.O'Brien hadn't seen Serena in three months,since that
conversation with one of the nurses.Smiling Serena let the woman in.
Thank goodness at least she'd be a little distraction before her
parents murdered her.
"Hi...Serena,right?",said Doctor with a friendly smile and Serena
nodded."I'm just wanted to give these papers to Darien" Doctor O'Brien
saw that two other people were there.There was an noticiable
 tenseness in the air.She had obviously come at a bad time.
 She handed the papers to Darien
who gave her a ill smile as he took them in his clammy hands.
Before she left Doctor O'Brien shook Serena's hand and noticed her
bulging stomach.Being a doctor with a sharp eye for usually unoticed
things,she smiled knowingly at Serena.
"Well then I'll see you tommorrow Darien and Mrs.Chiba come visit us
once and awhile.Oh by the way congratulations on the baby!" She
patted Serena's stomach and left with a final wave not knowing the
trouble she had just caused.Serena looked at Darien who stood
silently in shock.He gave her a questioning look,telling her he was
just as confused.Her parents
looked at her and she tried smiling thought it came out bad.
"Mrs.Chiba?",her mother said wearily.
"Baby?",her father said and now he looked like he was gonna blow!
Darien winced actually afraid at the older man who looked like he
was going to shoot him.Serena looked at Darien with utter fear on her
face.She was trying not to wail,really trying.He
thought quickly about what he to do.
"Yeah...well... Serena and I ARE married",Darien blurted out putting
his arm around Serena protectively though he couldn't believe what
he had just said.Her eyes went wide in a look of surprise.
 She nodded understanding and looked at her
parents who jaws had dropped to the floor.She smiled enthusiastically
trying to make it seem true.
"Uhhhhh...Surprise",she said trying to decipher the look on their
faces.When suddenly it happened.Her father exploded...
"ILENE WHERE'S MY GUN?!!",Ken yelled and attempted to lunge at Darien.
His wife blocked him as Serena shielded Darien.
"WHOA DAD CALM DOWN!",Serena screamed and pushed Darien out of the way.
Her father continued to rant and rave.
"ARE YOU CRAZY SERENA?!YOUR NINETEEN YEARS OLD AND HE'S GOD ONLY KNOWS
HOW OLD!",he yelled as his face turned tomato red and his eyes bulge.
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN LIKE HIM IN JAPAN!NOW YOU'RE MARRIED TO HIM AND NOT
TO MENTION YOU'RE HAVING A BABY!!!!!" Ilene put a comforting shoulder
on her husband making him sit on the couch.Serena pushed Darien into
his bedroom.
"Mom I think you guys need sometime to calm down.We'll be in Dar...I
mean OUR bedroom",she said quickly and bolted into the room.After
she closed the door,Serena closed her eyes to relieve herself. "ARE YOU
CRAZY?!!WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!" She felt like slapping him in
the back of the head!Crossing her arms she stood in front of him
anger rising."I MEAN TELLING THEM WE'RE MARRIED!YOU'RE LUCKY HE DIDN'T
BRING HIS GUN!"
"I WAS JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOUR BUTT!!!",he shot back."What were you
gonna tell them.That you got yourself pregnant by a guy that slept
around!" He immediately wish he could take back what he said.Serena
eyes filled with tears of pain and she looked up at him in sadness.
"That really hurt you know",she said choked and looked down.He put
his hand on her shoulders and held her out at arms length.
"Listen I'm sorry I said that",Darien told her with shame in his eyes
"Right now were both really panicked and we have to figure what to do.
But first do you accept my apology?"
"Yeah",she answered with a smile though her voice sounded tired and
sad."So what are we gonna do?We sticking to our story?"
"Well I think your father might actually kill us if we told him we
lied",Darien informed her and she groaned."How long are they staying?
We could at least pretend to be married until they leave"
"That's impossible to pretend and not to mention,it's INSANE.But for
now I guess we're gonna have to",she said grimacing and looked at the
closed bedroom door.She checked her watch."It's time to head out for
battle"
"By the way,how did your parents know where you were living?",asked
Darien and Serena immediately looked down.He shot her a look.
"Whoops",she said sheepishly and blushed bright pink."You see...I
kinda had to give my mom the address so she could write to me but I
didn't know they were coming!Honest!" Annoyed Darien opened the
door for Serena,letting her go first.
"After you sweetheart",he said sarcatically and she walked out.
"Thanks muffin",Serena muttered.In the living room Ilene was speaking
to her husband quietly.As the two entered,Serena's parents looked up.
"Mom,Dad I'm sorry-"
"Honey why didn't you call and tell us?"her mother said and went to
Serena taking her hand."I mean to find out like this nearly gave your
father a heart attack" Ilene nodded toward her husband who looked
angrily at Darien.He decided to move a little more closer to
Serena...in case her father decided to attack again.Her mother
however smiled happily."Oh darling I can't believe you're married"
She hugged Serena who was nearly smothered.
"Mom...you're..choking..me!",she yelled and her mother let go.
"Sorry",Ilene apologized and she surprisingly grabbed Darien into a
motherly hug."And Darien,because of you I'm going to be a grandma at
my still young age" She laughed while Serena looked on guiltily.
**************************************
Later that night......
Serena and Darien looked at the bed they supposedly shared.Each with a
wary look on their faces.Serena's parents had taken her room and were
now getting ready for bed. She was
standing next to a bed with DARIEN.When she was fourteen she didn't
even like breathing the same air as him and now she was supposedly
sleeping in the same bed of him.This was truly what nightmares were
made of...which Serena didn't actually mean.The guy after all was
gorgeous...sweet when he wanted to be.
"Serena?".her mother called and Serena stuck her head out of her door.
Across the room her mother stood in a robe.Her blue hair down and her
eyes tired from their trip."Honey why are all you clothes in here?"
"Oh...cause I had so many clothes that I couldn't fit them in this
room.Now enough closet space,you know",she said quickly holding her
breath.Her mother nodded,not really caring about the poor quality
of an excuse that was.
"Well night sweetie,night Darien",her mom called out.
"Good night",Darien said back and Serena closed the door.He made a
place on the floor.Serena looked at him guiltily.
"I feel really bad",she said looking down at him as her hair spill
to the floor.Touching Darien's arm and he smiled up at her.The light
of the lamp made her hair glow and he felt as if he were looking at a
angel.He touched her hair and she felt a shiver down her spine."I mean
telling them we're married to saved my butt,not to mention that I'm
complete liar"
"Don't worry",he assured her and smiled at her,trying to steer her
off the subject."What do you think you're friends would say about this"
"I don't know.They'd probably all pass out or something.Maybe not Ami
she doesn't believe in dramatic reactions to anything ",Serena said
and laughed.Suddenly a knock on the door was heard.They froze and
Darien got up from his bed on the floor.Pushing the blankets under
the bed,he got in the bed with Serena.Her blue eyes widened and she
nearly fell out of the bed!
"Omph!Ouch you sat on my hand!...Gosh you're big...You're taking up
all the space!",She hissed but another knock on the door shut her up.
Settling they both sat up and adjusted the blankets.Darien put his
arm around her and she leaned back on it.
"Come in",they called out together and Ilene came in.Her heart warmed
when she saw them looking cozy like and such,it was hard still
to believe they were married but it wasn't something she exactly hated.
"Honey is it okay if I call Sammy later?",her mother asked and Serena
nodded.
"Go ahead mom",she said.
"Thanks honey",Ilene said to her and began to closed the door.She
stopped suddenly and looked at them."Serena,Darien isn't that bed
kind of small for both of you.How do you....maneuver?" They looked
at her red with embaressment.
"Mom,what kind of question is that?",she said utterly humiliated
and put her face in her hand.Her mother laughed at the their
awkwardness towards the subject and closed the door behind her.She
looked at Darien,who had a small grin on his face."Sorry bout that.My
mom has this way of being really...open about embarassing things like
that.Trust me when she told me about the facts of life,she REALLY told
me the facts.Even added in her own personal experiences.I was
emotionally scarred by that conversation,you know"
He laughed and prepare to sleep on the floor again when she grabbed his
arm."What happens if she looks in us again?"
"What are we supposed to do,sleep with each other?",he said
sarcatically and they eyed each other.
"Nah",they both agreed and Darien both his blankets on the floor.He
prepared to lay down except that....Ilene had suddenly come bursting
into the room.Darien jumped into the bed again and Serena attempted
to straightened the covers.
"One more thing honey",her mother said and smiled sweetly not
noticing the flustered look on their faces."Your father and I are
gonna visit some friends tommorrow,so I'll wake you to say goodbye
before we leave" After she left they finally let out their breath and
Serena leaned back on her pillow.She groaned and wiped the sweat off
her forehead.
"Oh great,just great...",she said aggrevated.
"What's wrong?"
"She's checking on us tommorrow",Serena grumbled and folded her arms
in exasperation."Now we're gonna actually have to sleep next to each
other unless you're waking up early just to get back in this bed" He
glared at her and sighed.
"Just go the sleep,okay?",he said and turned off the light.Darkness
filled the room and weird silence made both tense as they tried not
to accidentally make any physical contact with one another.Serena laid
straight in the bed looking at the ceiling,feeling....strange.
She held her arms out straight in the air to stretch them and swiftly
threw them to the side when-WHAM!
"OUCH!WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR?"Darien yelled and rubbed his arm.
"Ohmigosh!",she said."Are you okay?I'm really,really sorry"He nodded
and both of them looked at each other in the dark.Serena was happy
she was in the dark,at least he wouldn't see how red she probably
was."This is really awkward,isn't it?"
"You could say that again",he agreed and laid back down.

**********************************
Serena stretched her arms out as the morning sun hit her face.
The birds sang and she inhaled the scent of coffee.Yawning she
turned and enveloped herself in her blanket.
"What a dream...",she said mumbling to herself."Me sleeping with
Darien...hmm...acting like we were married...my parents in San
Francisco" She opened her eyes to find herself face to face...with
Darien.Her eyes widened and she covered her face with her blanket.A
high-pitched wail escaped her throat.Darien groggily opened his
eyes to see Serena covering herself.
"What's wrong?",he asked her and she looked at him.
"I'm in this bed with YOU",she wailed."I thought it was just some
bad nightmare!"
"Thanks a lot",he mumbled and looked at her as he sat up.
"Let's just say you don't look so hot either!" Which was a complete
lie.Serena looked like a morning goddess.Her hair spilling forth in
waterfall and her eyes shining like fresh morning dew.She responded by
yanking the blanket from under him,making him fall to the ground with
loud THUMP."And good morning to you too! Let's just try not to go
back to our old ways and not kill each other" Serena agreed feeling
bad for being so cranky and he flashed her a charming smile."After all
if you knew how badly you snore,you'd feel bad for me too"
She flashed an angry look and pushed him down on the bed attempting
to choke him.Darien laughed at her anger,which he thought was adorable.
"You are such a JERK!",she yelled and threw a pillow at his face.He
seized it and threw it back at her.Serena squealed and tackled him in
the bed trying to smother him."Now say sorry",she demanded sitting on
top of him to hold him down.
"NO",he responded liking the fact that she was on top of him.Her hair
tumbling down on him messily and a michevious smile on her heart shaped
lips.Even in her oversized Giants T-shirt and boxer shorts,he thought
she was gorgeous.They had stopped laughing all of a sudden and the room
was silent as they looked at each other.Outside carhorns blared and
noisy neighbors yelled at each other.However for them time was standing
still and Serena was taken by a familiar warmness that was capturing
her heart. The moment was ruined when the
door opened and Serena's parents stepped in.They were flabbergasted as
they saw their daughter sitting on Darien,both of them with hot faces.
"Honey",Irene said trying to break the silence."We just wanted to say
we're leaving now and we'll be back in the afternoon" With that she
closed the door.
"And this is just Day One",Serena said finding her voice.She exhale
and quickly got of Darien."This is gonna be a crazy two weeks"
(In the hallway...)
"Ilene,do you know what they were doing in there?",Ken said angrily
and pushed his hair back.His face red in anger.Ilene took his hand.
"Of course I do",she responded."Ken,they're a married couple now.
You're gonna have to get use to that.She's not a child,if you haven't
noticed"
"I know but it's hard to get over the fact,she an adult and MARRIED",he
said sighing sadly.His wife gave a peck on the cheek and looked at him
fondly.
"How time flies",she remarked as they stepped out the door.
*********************************
"How many months exactly have you two been married?",Ken questioned
as they walked through Golden Gate Park.Trees surrounded them shading
the sun from their view but it was hot which made it fortunate for
them.Serena shot Darien a look.So far they had been able to dodge any
questions from being asked but now they were trapped,like rats.
"Five",she said quickly.
"Six",he said at the exact same time.Serena and Darien glared at
each other in disagreement.
"Well exactly how many?",he asked again impatiently waiting for
an answer.He crossed his arms expectantly.
"Six",Darien finally said and Serena exhaled loudly.
"And how do you have means to support your family?",Ken inquired
shooting daggers at Darien.Just because his daughter was married
to him,didn't mean he was going to let this...boy off the hook.
"I have a job as a temporary Doctor in San Francisco General",Darien
answered feeling as if was being investigated.This guy must have
really hated him!
"Temporary",Ken said and gave him the evil eye."And after this
temporary job is over.How will you support her?"
"There are other hospitals,sir",he answered calmly."I'm sure I could
find a job with them"
"Daddddddd",Serena whined and gave him a smile."Stop with
the bombardment of questions!Darien knows that I'm still going to
work till this baby is delivered"
"Oh no you're not",Darien said suddenly."I don't want you to do any
working until this baby is born.I don't want you tiring yourself out.
Your job is to just deliver the baby while I work" Serena squeezed
her fists in anger at his chauvinistic attitude.Darien was really
watched as her face turned red and steam practically blew out of her
ears.He smiled to himself but stopped
when she walked toward him in silent fury.
"You can't tell me what to do",she said through her teeth.Serena
poked in his hard chest."What makes you think you can tell me what
I can do and cannot do?"
"I just happen to be married to you",he answered back and she placed
her hands on her hips.
"Well for your information my dear husband",she said enraged."Women
can do anything they want,probably better than any man!"
"Like a certain team of Sailor Senshi who just so happened to have
fought many forces of evil and saved the world once or twice!"
"How about a certain masked hero who helps them?"
"All he does is throw roses"
"Well how about SailorMoon?",he answered back in heat."All she did
at first was sit there and cry!!" There were face to face in combat.
Serena with her hands on her hips and Darien with his arms crossed.
Her parents watched as they quarreled and stood quietly.Eyes on their
battle.Serena ran out of words and Darien smiled triumphantly.Their
subject of the fight had changed from a simple discussion from to
a war of the sexes.However it seemed at the moment Serena was losing
the fight.
"YOU ARE SUCH A JERK!",she said steaming as he smirked at her.He could
help but love her anger."WHY DID I MARRY YOU?"
"Simple",he said taking her hand and kissing it."Cause you love
me" She blushed furiously and he laughed.He entwined his fingers
in hers and Serena looked at him."For apperance's sake",He whispered
in her ear."I'm sorry I was being a jerk.I just get worried about you
sometimes"
"I forgive you",she said as a grin began to grow on her face."Just
don't do it again" She shook her finger in warning and to seal the deal
Darien reached into his coatpocket bringing out a spare rose he
always kept in case of emergencies.Serena gasped in surprise as her
face glowed,he smiled charmingly at her."You always have a way of
making me forgive you,huh?"
"For you,Sweet Lady",he said and handed it to her.Surprisingly he
kissed her softly on the forehead and she closed her eyes.Just for
a moment she enjoyed it but reality hit her back hard making her
snapped her eyes open.She coughed loudly.
"Their watching us",Serena told him and they looked at her parents.
Ilene smiled happily as Ken looked Darien hard in the eye.She smiled
at them."Let's go you guys!" Her and Darien continued to walk ahead
hand and hand.
"And why aren't you like that?",Ilene scolded her husband.
"They're newlyweds!",he reasoned and she responded by whacking her
square on the arm.
*******************************
Ilene and Serena walked on the beach,the sun shone brightly on them
as the ocean lapped at their feet.Her mother affectionally put her
arm around Serena.Ken laid on the sand watching them lovingly.He
realized how much he missed his daughter and all the times they spent
together.
"I can't believe you're leaving in two days",Serena said laying her
head on her mom's shoulder.Ilene kissed her daughter's head and smiled.
"Oh honey",she said and squeezed Serena's shoulder."You're going back
home for Christmas in four months"
"But I love spending time with you guys",Serena answered.
"We do too",her mother told her."But you need time to spend with Darien.
I mean getting married and finding out about the baby.Then us coming
unexpectedly,you guys haven't had moment alone taking us out and such"
For the last two weeks Darien and Serena had managed to cleverly act
as they were a couple.Sometimes they played the part so well,Serena had
hard time believing they weren't married!Darien managed to play the
perfect husband,bringing her roses...and kissing affectionally on the
cheek or forehead.Her insides warmed just as thought of their the at
the parkand she shook her head turning her attention to her mother
again."Serena to tell you the truth.I'm happy that you married Darien"
Serena looked at her mother."He loves you a lot I can tell and that's
what I wanted for you all my life.Someone who'll love as much as he
does"
"Mom-",she said trying to tell her the truth.She had been trying to get
the nerve the whole two weeks but her mother immmediately shushed her.
"I know it seems as if your father is angry but he just can't get over
your not a child.But he's proud of you,I'm sure he is by the he looks at
you.Maybe he's not crazy about Darien but he'll changed.Trust me."
Serena tried to speak again but her mother put her finger to Serena's
lips."Not a word Serena.It's bad for the baby to have you stressed out"
She nodded as they continued to walk down the beach.Now what was she
gonna do?
******************************
Two days later....
"I'll miss you guys",Serena said as tears ran down her face.The
airport was packed and people heading for their flights flew passed
them.Darien stood by her side holding her hand for apperance's sake.
Or so she thought.She ran to hugged both her parents and her father
wiped the tears off her face.
"I hate to see my little girl cry",he told her.
"Oh dad",she said lovingly and kissed him on the cheek.
"Sweetie we'll see you in four months",her mother promised her and
Ilene looked at Darien who watched the scene.A sadness ran through him
thinking about the fact that he had no family.Not even a memory.Ilene
seemed to have read his mind and ran to hug him."Take care of her,
Darien.Take care of yourself too.You're family now",she whispered in
his ear.They all stood at the gate for their flight and were about to
board.Ken grumpily shook Darien's hand and mumbled at goodbye to him.
Before going to board,they waved goodbye one last time and Ilene was
pleased to see how Darien looked lovingly at her daughter.She wished
them the best.
"This is the last time they'll see us together",Darien remarked and
Serena nodded."You know what.It was nice having a family for awhile"
She squeezed his arm and they walked towards the exit neither one
noticing they held hands...
