BY:JLaLa
"Gosh they're heavy",Darien remarked as he carried Lita and Raye
who were slung over each of his shoulders.Andrew followed carrying Ami
and Mina as Serena opened the door to the apartment.Breathing heavily
they laid each of them on the floor after Serena laid a blanket over
it.
"Do they always do this?",asked Andrew as he sat on the couch wiping
the sweat off his face.Darien sat on a smaller couch as Serena sat next
to him on it's armrest.
"Mina,Lita,Raye yes but not Ami",she told them."I wasn't expecting
they'd take it like this though"
"Yeah",Darien said."I don't think anyone was expecting four full grown
girls to pass out in the middle of an airport" He looked down in
embaressment as he thought about the crowds of people staring at them
as they tried to wake the Senshi up.
"Not mention they did it at the same time",Andrew added.Serena looked
around realizing they were in Darien's old apartment.It looked the
same.Plain.She remembered that Darien wasn't the kind guy who cared
about his clothing much less his own apartment.
"Why are we in Darien's apartment?",she asked Andrew.
"I got the hook up from the guy who owns the building",he told her."He
bought it a year after Darien left and said we could use this place for
awhile"
"Didn't you have to pay for it?",Darien said to him and looked around
remembering how he practically lived half his life in this place.
"No,he owe me something",answered Andrew and Darien nodded.Getting up
he stretched out his muscles."Those girls can take a lot out of you.I'm
gonna go over to Rita's so you two can have some time alone before they
wake up" He walked to the door and quickly excited leaving Darien and
Serena to watch the four girls.Serena walked over and poked Raye on
the arm to see if she'd respond.Raye remain still and Serena shrugged.
She proceeded to the same thing to the others getting no responses.
"They're not getting up anytime soon",she said and sighed."Let's
unpack" They both went into Darien's old room and to fill the time
began to unpack their clothes.Darien reached in a small compartment
of his and produced a small pocketwatch with a intricate design
of concidentally a crescent moon.He placed it carefully on the dresser
as Serena watched.
"That's a nice looking watch",she commented."Where did you get it?"
A sadness clouded Darien's eyes but he shut them quickly so
she wouldn't see.She did however and went to him placing a hand on his.
He opened his eyes to see her looking at him with compassion and
understanding in her blue eyes."I'm sorry"
"It's alright",he answered quickly and brushed a hand through his hair.
He went and retrieve the watch from the counter and sat back on the bed
where Serena waited patiently for him."It was from a friend of mine"
She looked at him with a questioning eyes."Thomas Donovan was a
professor I had in medical school.He was like a father to me"
Tears began to burn in his eyelids though he blinked them away.He
wasn't the type of guy who cried like a baby."Or at least what I
thought a father should be like.He taught me a lot.Anyway one day he
got sick and just never got well" He held the watch up by it's chain
and it twirl catching Serena's reflection in the glass."Before he died
he gave this to me and told me that there are somethings that even
fate can't control,we have to sometimes take things in our own
hands cause fate will only take us so far.Nice last words,huh?"Tears
filled Serena's eyes and Darien immediatly felt bad for making her cry.
How could he burden her with his sob story? Serena wiped them away
quickly.
"I'm glad you told me",she said to him sincerely and smiled."Did you
tell anyone else about this?"
"No",he answered and shook his head."Not even Andrew.This is the
only thing I have of real value.I don't go anywhere without it.It's
very important to me"
"I understand",she said and heard a groan from the other room.
"Someone's awake" Walking to the living room Serena checked to see the
progress of her friends.Ami had moved shifting more to the left closer
to Lita."Well They're getting somewhere" They both sat on the couch
looking at the girls who laid in shock.
"Now we'll just have to wait",Darien said.
And so they waited...
And waited....
Serena checked her watch.Why does time take so long when you're
waiting for something to happen?Damn this is taking long...
And waited....
And waited....
Evening came and darkness fell over the city.Serena was sprawled over
the couch impatiently."What's taking so long?They're not dead,are
they?"
"They must have been in a real shock",Darien remarked from the kitchen
where he was pouring himself some water.Serena began pacing obviously
worried about her friends.It had been hours since they had all fainted.
"There must be a way to wake them up"
"Like what?",she said but a weak groaning made her quiet.A dishelvled
Mina rubbed her eyes and looked around trying to figure out where she
was.The other also began to awakened yawns coming from their throats.
"Where the hell are we?",Lita asked sitting up."And who called me
heavy?" Serena sat on the floor and next to Lita who was trying to
clear her head up.Raye and Ami were still lying down blinking
to focus their vision as Mina stood up to stretch.
"Are you guys alright?",Serena asked concerned.
"I think so",Ami said getting up as she rubbed the side of her
head.She couldn't remember why she had fainted but looking up
at Darien who stood in the kitchen doorway she quickly remembered.
"Oh my God"
"What?",Serena said.
"I just remembered why I passed out",she said putting her hand to her
head and sat on the couch.
"You guys are married",Raye said from the floor in a daze.
"And pregnant",Mina added."At least she is" She said poking Serena
in the tummy,she recieved a quick slap to the hand from her.
"I just thought she got fat",Raye said getting up to sit in a small
chair.Serena glared at her and stuck her tongue out like she use to.
Raye laughed in spite of her confusion."Somethings never change"
"I'm not that fat",Serena reasoned but looked down quickly at her
stomach."Am I?" Darien helped her up and let her seat on the smaller
couch.
"Of course you're not",he reassured her and sat on the armrest.Darien
took her hand and squeezed it.For apperance's sake he told himself
once more though deep inside he knew it was more than for apperance.
He liked the feeling of her hands with his,her soft skin against him
made him yearn to put his lips to it.
"So what's the whole story between you two?",asked Mina laying on her
stomach on the floor.She propped her chin on her hand as she looked
at the couple with dancing eyes."Were you both like fake hating each
other or something?Cause you two did a good job!"
"Yeah",Lita agreed."What was the deal with you two?" Darien looked at
Serena who was obviously trying to think up a good story at the moment.
"Maybe I was fake hating her but I just didn't realize it for awhile",
Darien said and looked at Serena,his voice took a softer tone to it.
"And one day after a fight with the NegaVerse I did something I don't
do often:I stayed for awhile instead of leaving like I usually do.
I got my first close look at SailorMoon that day.I remember I thought
that Serena was so beautiful,so young and innocent but at the same
stronger than any human being I've ever known.I watched her lay next
to a fountain and just looked as she moved her fingers in the water.
For a moment my heart stopped and I felt this tremendous feeling
just rush through my veins,completely engulfing me" The senshi looked
at him with shining eyes.They never knew that Darien could be like
that.Serena however was quiet almost subdued as she sat on the small
couch.Something about the story bothered her.Was is it the fact that
this story might actually be true?She remembered that when she had
gone to the park after a fight and just laid on the edge of fountain
running her fingers through the water and the feeling of being watched.
It didn't scare her however it was almost comforting that someone was
spying on her.She had done this a dozen other times though and almost
always felt like she was being watched so she could have been imagining
all those times.But now that she heard this,Serena was actually happy
Darien watched her if he really did.Maybe he was a mindreader.She hoped
he didn't read some of the thoughts she had,if he was!She blinked her
eyes realizing she had miss part of the conversation.Serena strained
to listen to the rest though her head was somewhere else."For awhile
after I met up with Serena I tried hard to bury what I was feeling
knowing that she had someone and just hoped.After they broke up Serena
came to me and I tried to heal her wounds the best I could while I
driving myself crazy over what I felt.I finally told her what I felt
for her and as you guessed it she was blown away by the news.I asked
her to marry me a month later and two weeks later we found out she was
pregnant.Now here we are months later and I thank God every second of
everyday that she loves me back cause I nothing without her" Darien
stopped realizing that he had just said more than he wanted.It was
just some big romance story to the Senshi but what bothered him was
how quiet Serena was.She sat there still as stone with blank eyes.Did
she suspect?
"That's so romantic",gushed Mina.
"Who knew you were like that?",Lita added and sighed to herself.
Serena suddenly snapped out of
the trance she was in and squeezed Darien's hand.He looked down at her
and smiled.Serena smiled back but the look in her eyes told him she
was thinking about something.Serena's eyes were crystal. Clear.
"It's late so I guess we're having a sleepover",Serena said and got
up.She looked at Darien."Is that okay?"
"Sure",he said and nodded his head.He quickly got up to get some
blankets and pillows."Someone can get that big couch and three can
take the floor" An argument began to sprout as the four girls began
arguing over who was getting it.Serena bowed her head as Darien
laughed as they watched.
"I get the couch!"
"No I do!"
"No I do!"
"None of you are getting it cause it's mine"
"Fine we'll settle this in civilized way.Rock,Paper,Scissors!"
"Fine!"
"Yeah let's do it!"
"I'm down!"
The Senshi held their hands out and began to play.For a moment
Serena thought they were finished arguing.She was wrong....
"YOU CHEATER!"
"I AM NOT!"
"YES YOU ARE!"
"NO I'M NOT"
Serena laughed with Darien.She missed seeing their familiar faces and
voices Darien put his arm around her and she began to walk to her room.
"You know what?It's good to be home"
*************************
"Can you believe were sleeping in Darien's appartment",Raye said
as she laid next to Mina and Ami.Lita was spread out on the couch
hands behind her head with a triumphant smile on her face."And he's
a bedroom with Serena?!"
"Jealous?",asked Mina with a grin on her face.
"Of course not",Raye said indignantly."It just makes you wonder if
all those times Serena stuck out her tongue or threw her papers at
him,she actually falling for him"
"Yeah,maybe Serena had a whole different idea in her head when she
stuck her tongue out at him!",Lita said wickedly and Raye hit with
her pillow.They all bursted into a fit of giggles when an unfamiliar
noise hit their ears.A loud creaking sounds like...bedsprings.They
all look at each other and Raye turned red.
"Oh my God",she said cringing."Please tell me they're not doing what
I think they're doing"
"Not to mention they're doing it kinda fast",Mina said listening to
sound and Lita whacked her in the arm.
"Well they are married",Lita said.
"Couldn't they wait?",Raye asked a little irratated.
"Isn't it dangerous for the baby?",asked Mina.
"Actually no it's not",Ami said her first words into the coversation.
"You guys we're gonna have to face that fact that they're a couple
and couples do these things"
"But now?",Raye said.
"Someone's a little eager",Mina said to them as they noise got
louder."Jet lag doesn't seem to bother them,does it?"
"This is even worse then those public displays of affection couples
are always doing",Raye said wrinking her nose in disgust.
"Hypocrite",Lita said to her."Just last week I saw you and Chad all
over each other in the mall.If that's not public than I don't know
what is"
"Shut up",She answered Lita sticking her tongue out of her.
"You guys",Ami said suddenly."Let's just go to sleep"
They all agreed and laid down a long silence filling the air which Raye
broke.
"Ami,you're the genius",Raye said."Now you tell me how we're supposed
to sleep with all that NOISE!"
****************************************
In the bedroom....
"Serena not now",Darien said trying NOT to pay attention to the
beautiful blond in front of him.He looked at the door nervously
expecting four girls to come bursting in."Do you realize your
friends are in the other room?" Serena was beautiful and sweet
but she could be strange sometimes.How many other nineteen year old
pregnant women still jumped on their bed?(Author:Now what did you
think they were really doing!?I'm not about to let that happen!^_~)
The bedsprings creaked loudly and Darien sighed in exasperation from
where he laid.He tried to read a book of Serena's books though it was
hard with the bed moving and all.Serena laughed loudly in joy and he
couldn't help but smile.She had the certain innocence that attracted
him to her.A loud voice that sounded like Raye yelled from the living
making Serena stop in her tracks but making Darien fall to the ground
as she landed on the bed.He hit the floor with a loud THUMP.Why
hadn't he thought of getting softer carpet with he actually lived
here?"How come I'm always falling off a bed whenever your around?"
"Sorry",she said helping him into the bed."I couldn't help it"
"Couldn't you think of another thing to do?",he asked rubbing his head.
"Something that doesn't get me hurt in any way" Darien laid
back on a pillow and Serena sat in front of him hands on her lap.
"Darien,didn't you ever wanna do something so bad,you'd burst if you
didn't?",she asked him with vehement in her voice.Serena gazed at him
a soft light in her eyes.
"There are a lot of things I'd like to do",he said quietly.He wanted
nothing more but to just hold her and kiss her small face.To wipe all
the tears that ever fallen from her turquoise eyes.Darien looked down
trying to cover the sadness in his eyes.A pang of sharp pain hit him
and he curse at himself angrily for showing any signs of what he felt.
Serena could feel his tension,it was like a wave washing over her.She
reached for his hand but his fist tightened and Serena felt an
uneasiness in him.She drew back a bit,uncomfortable.
"The story you told the Senshi",she said hesistantly."Was it true?"
"I spied on you once",he admitted and laughed softly."But I'm not
a stalker or anything" She laughed along with him.
"It's kind of flattering in it's own disturbing way",Serena told him
trying to relax him."Unless you did this to the others too!"
She looked at him in accusing way though Serena was kidding around.
"Hey I'm not a pervert!"
"I never said you were",she told him."It's nice to know you only spy
on me but do it again and I'll punch your lights out" She held a fist
to his face but laughed and pulled it away quickly.Unexpectedly she
kissed him on the forehead as he sat on the bed he had prepared in the
floor."Get some sleep.It's been a long,LONG day" Turning off the light
she put her hands behind her head looking up.
"Serena",Darien said quietly.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think that Brian guy still thinks of you?"
"I hope so"
"Why?"
"Something inside of me still belongs to him",she said in a low
voice."Maybe it's because we were together so long or maybe..."
"What?"
"Maybe it's because I still care for him in a way or that I'm carrying
his baby.He's part of me now"
"Oh",he said in a sad voice.How could she still care for someone who
left her?Who hurt her so much?He knew the answer.Serena still loved
this guy.No matter what he did to her."Trust me Serena.Losing you was
his biggest mistake and he'll always think about that"
"Thanks",she said and he heard her yawn."When you want to be,you can
be a real charmer"Her eyes drooped and Serena fell into a deep sleep.
Darien gripped his blanket hard.How could he deny what he felt?But how
could stand listening to her moon over some guy who hurt her?He felt
like tearing himself apart out of confusion.That whole "Love is Blind"
thing was really starting to make A LOT of sense.
