Love of a Lifetime
Part 1 (revision)
By: Sailor Destiny
It was a nice wintry day in February. The sun was shining down on the snow making it look bright and the birds were singing, but even though the day was a winter wonderland; there was one girl who didn't think so. She watched the many couples passing her by, hoping the whole time that he would come and lift the dark cloud that had settled over her since the day he deiced to leave her. Her name was Serenity, but everyone called her Serena. If she had been in a better mood she would have been the perfect compliment to the day, with bright blue eyes that shone like fresh ice in the sun, and her platinum blond hair that shone like spun white gold. She would have been mistaken for a beautiful snow angel. Unfortunately today her eyes were not shining; they looked red from lots of crying and her platinum hair looked dull and dry.
She watched and waited but he didn't come. "Serena are you ok?" a female voice asked her as she looked over into a pair of violet eyes. "Oh Rei, he left me and didn't even give me a reason." Serena said as she started to cry once more. "After all he put me through he couldn't even give me a reason." she said heartbrokenly. Rei wrapped her arms around her friend and tried to comfort her as best she could. While Rei held Serena she could tell that her friend was not at all healthy. "Serena calm down, I want to take you to the hospital, because you don't look so good, ok?" Rei asked her. Serena nodded and Rei helped her up. The two walked over to Rei's fire red Mustang GTX. Rei helped Serena get into the car before she got into the driver's side. Rei turned on the engine and looked behind her to make sure no one was in the way before she backed out and started her drive to the hospital.
By the time Rei reached the hospital Serena had passed out. Rei hurriedly ran inside to the front desk to talk to the nurse. "Excuse me, my friend just passed out in my car on our way here. Can you please help her?" Rei asked. "Sure thing miss, what's your friends name?" The nurse asked. "Her names Serenity Moon." Rei said to the nurse. The nurse nodded and a guy went to Rei's car and got Serena. A few seconds later the guy returned with Serena in a wheel chair. "Is they're anyone in particular you would like to look after Miss Moon?" The nurse asked Rei. "Yes, Dr. Shields." Rei replied. "Alright, if you want you can go into the room with your friend." The nurse said as she started to page Dr. Shields. "Dr. Shields, report to room 305, Dr. Shields report to room 305." she said into a phone. Rei nodded politely and left heading for the room her friend was in.
When Rei reached Serena's room Dr. Shields was already they're checking up on her. "Is she going to be ok Darien?" Rei asked the blue eyed, ebony haired doctor. "She'll be on, but she needs to eat through to support herself and her growing child." He said. "What do you mean growing child?" She replied. "She's 3 months pregnant Rei, didn't you know?" he asked her. Rei shook her head. "Rei what's her full name?" He asked her. "Serenity Moon." She said. ~Hmm Serenity Moon, that name sounds familiar to me some how~ Darien thought to himself.
Serena started to stir and wake up. "Huh, what's going on? Where am I?" Serena asked when she awoke. "Your in the hospital Miss Moon, your friend said you passed out in her car." he said to her. "I did? I don't remember. Wait, what's wrong with me?" She asked. "Well first let me introduce myself, I'm your doctor, Darien Shields, and secondly you need to eat miss, or you'll damage the health of your child not to mention yourself." He told her. "No I'm not pregnant, I cant be I haven't..." she said before she trailed off to the events of one dreadful December night.
**It was a cold December night and Serena had just walked in from a long days work. "Mina I'm home!" She yelled. "She's not here Ser. She told me to tell you she went out with some guy tonight." A male voice said to her. "Oh, hi Travis, you wanna watch a movie while I fix something to eat?" She asked him as she walked into the kitchen. "No actually sere, I want something else from you." He said as he grabbed her arm roughly. "Ouch, Travis, you're hurting me." She said.
Travis just smirked and dragged her out of the kitchen and towards her bedroom. "Now, now Ser you've been holding back on me for to long, and not only do I want some fun but I also want what's rightfully mine." He said as he grabbed her crotch. Serena gasped as she struggled even more trying to get away from him knowing exactly what he wanted and she was not ready to go that far yet. "I'm not ready for that Travis, please just wait and let me go!" She pleaded. Travis pushed her to the bed and she quickly got up and ran to the door. "I don't think so Ser." He said as he grabbed her arm quickly and slapped her.
Serena was shocked to say the least. She didn't know what to do, and then he kissed her roughly, tearing at her blouse. She pulled back her hand and slapped him across the face, but I had no effect on him. "Some one Help me!" She yelled. No one was near her room or her house and so no one heard her. Travis once again pushed her back onto the bed, and this time he cuffed her hands to the top of the bedpost so that she couldn't escape. Then to keep her quiet he put a gag in her mouth. "That aughta shut you up." he said, right before he got a foot in the mouth. "Why you little bitch!" he said and punched her in the stomach and a muffled scream escaped from her mouth.
He finished pulling the rest of her clothing off and started groping at her body. Serena couldn't bear to look, but when she opened her eyes she saw him standing before her in his nude glory. She immediately crossed her legs and squeezed them shut. "Oh a challenge." He said as he moved and started to force her legs open. Once he had them opened he positioned himself between her legs his manhood was positioned at her opening. She shook her head in protest begging him with her eyes not to do this and take something so precious from her. It didn't work and he quickly pushed himself into her hard causing her to scream in pain and fear. **
"Miss Moon, are you ok?" Darien asked her. Serena shook her head trying to deny what she knew was true. Trying not to allow the facts to sink in, however; they did, she was 3 months pregnant with Travis' child. She pleaded her head in her hands and started to cry. Rei walked over and comforted Serena. "If you need me Miss Moon, just page me and I'll be right in." Darien said and efficiently taking his leave.
Rei sat there with Serena "Rei I don't know what to do I don't want this child, it's not the way I wanted my first child to be conceived." Serena said to Rei as she cried. "I know Serena, but we can't let you have an abortion." Rei said, "You know I could never do that Rei, ever that's the worst thing I could do." Serena said. Rei nodded and walked over to the phone, "I'm calling Mina and the others, you get some rest, and before you know it they'll be here." Rei said. Serena nodded and closed her eyes and drifting off into a light nap.
Outside the room Darien was standing there listing to the conversation. "Now Dr. Shields you know you shouldn't be eavesdropping on patient conversations." A blue haired lady said. "I'm sorry Dr. Anderson, but I think it's one of your daughters friends in there. I know Rei is in there, but I don't know if the other girl hangs around with them." He said as they walked down to the lounge. "What's the other girls name?" she asked him. "Her name is Serenity Moon, Laura." He said. Laura nodded "The is one of Ami's friends, I'm sure Rei's called them and they're on there way." Laura said as she got herself a cup of coffee. Darien sat down to wonder more about Serena in his free time.
While Darien was on his coffee break the other girls arrived in the hospital to see Serena. "Ser, what's going on?" Another blond said as she sat by the bedside. "Oh Mina, I just want to go back home right now. I don't even want this all to be real." Serena said to the girl who was indeed Mina. Mina and Serena were splitting images of each other. Both with bright ice blue eyes and platinum blond hair. Only difference between them was the length of their hair and how it was kept. Mina being the younger of the two by just 2 minuets kept hers knee length with a bow in the back of her hair while Serena kept hers long and in two buns with two platinum blond streamers.
Mina just held her sister as a girl with short blue hair and star blue eyes walked in and spoke to Rei. "Rei are you sure everything is going to be alright once we get her home?" she asked her. "Yes Ami, everything will be fine. She just needs to calm down." Rei told the blue haired girl. Just as a girl with brown hair and emerald eyes spoke to her. "How long is she going to be here?" She asked Rei. "They want to keep her a few more hours to make sure she's going to be ok, then she can go home. Lita you're going to be working over time though." Rei said and the brown haired girl nodded and left to go to the apartment that the twins shared.
Darien walked into the room just as Lita left. "Ok, well it's good to see all of you here. Ami, your mom wants to see you in her office." He said. Ami nodded and kissed Serena on the forehead. "I'll be right back Ser, my mom wants me." She said and walked out the room. "When can I go home Dr. Shields?" Serena asked. "In about 3 hours, we want to make sure you're ok before we let you go." He said as he started to take her vital signs again. She just lay there and watched him before she turned to Mina. "Travis hasn't come by has he?" She asked, Darien watched her and listened to what she was saying. "No Ser, he hasn't. I think you should give up on him, there's someone else as far as I can see who has a thing for you." Mina said looking right at Darien. He couldn't hide what he was starting to feel for her sister from her and only nodded.
Serena looked at Mina, "Get real Mina, like any guy would actually want to date me now that I've been abused and impregnated Serena said as she started to cry. Mina tried to comfort her sister. "Oh Serena that's not true, there are guys that don't mind it, as long as they care about you and you care about them that's all that matters to them." Mina hugged Serena and she hugged back. "Are you sure?" Serena asked and Mina nodded. "Yes I'm sure sister." She said once again looking at Darien.
Three hours later Serena was released to go home. The car ride back to the apartment was very quiet as Mina drove. Serena sat in the back sleeping as Rei held her up with Ami in the front. "Well I guess you guys will be staying around for a while right?" Mina asked Rei and Ami. "Yeah, I closed the shop for the weekend planing on staying with you guys anyway." Rei said as she stroked Serena's hair. "Not me, I have to go to school tomorrow." Ami says. "Ami, I'm sure your teacher would forgive you for missing one day of school to stay with your friend when she really needs you." Rei said. "Your right Rei, but my teachers don't like their students missing test. But I'll try and get an excuse from my mom." Ami said as she looked out the window.
When the reached the apartment smells were rising out of the kitchen once they entered. Lita was in there cooking up a storm. "Good to see you guys are home, I know Ser, cant pass up my cooking and she'll eat like a crazy person." Lita said, as she looked at Serena who blinked awake the moment she smelled Lita's cooking. "When do we eat?" Serena asked yawning, the girls smiled and Serena sat down at the table as Lita put a plate of fried chicken, mash pataos and corn down in front of her. "Thanks Lita you're the best." Serena said as she began to eat. The others sat down and were met with the same meal, except for Ami; she had a salad since she was a vegetarian.
After the girls finished eating Ami, Lita and Rei all went and sat down on the couch and started chatting while Serena and Mina went into the bedroom. "Mina, we've known them long enough, don't you think we should tell them about it now?" Serena asked. "I guess so Sere, I don't want to. What if they were told to find us and take us back under his orders?" Mina asked, "Oh but yet you told Mike everything about us. Not to mention Mike remembered you from those days we spent at the palace. How do you know he wasn't sent to take us back?" Serena said as she looked at Mina. "First thing Ser, Mike was sent to bring us back for your information, he told me this just last week, but he sees were happy were we are and he cant bring himself to do it, but you're right Sere, we'll tell them right when the time comes. "Mina said as she stood, she knew her sister was right. Both walked into the room Rei looked at Serena and could see that she was tired. "Sere why don't you go to bed, you need to get some rest ok?" Rei said, Serena nodded and went to her room to retire for the night.
Serena awoke to the smell of Lita cooking the next morning. "I didn't know you guys were still here." She said as she walked into the kitchen. "Yeah we're all staying the weekend, even Ami." Lita said smiling. "You mean you guys actually got her to stay here and miss her test and her studies?" Serena asked and Lita nodded her head. "That's a miracle!" Serena said again. Lita just smiled and handed Serena a plate. "MMMM you make the best food Lita, thanks." Serena said looking down at the plate which contained an English Muffin, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and a hash brown. "Hey I enjoy it because I have friends who love my cooking!" Lita said and smiled. Serena took her plate to the table and sat down to eat. The other girls woke up soon after and were all treated with the same meal, except for Ami, she had a hot bowl of oatmeal and an English Muffin. After Serena finished eating she deiced to go for a walk. "I'll be right back you guys, I'm going for a walk." She said. "Be careful Sere." Mina said as Serena grabbed her heavy coat and walked out the door.
Serena walked down the street looking in all the store windows when suddenly she saw a shop that was selling wedding dresses; she sighed softly as she looked in and saw all the different dresses they had to offer. She also saw the dress that she would have hoped to have for her own wedding. She just stood there a sad look on her face as she began to realize that her child wouldn't have a father and that she would probably never get married. Unknown to her Darien had seen her face while he was inside the shop next to the one she was looking in. "Hello Ms. Moon, how are you?" He asked. "I'm fine Dr. Shields and how about yourself?" She asked as she turned around with a huge smile on her face but it didn't hide the sad look in her eyes. "I'm fine and please just call me Darien. Would you like to go have a cup of coffee with me and then you can tell me what's bothering you?" He asked her. "I don't mind, and you can call me Serena." She said and he offered her his arm and she took it.
When they reached the coffee place they both ordered a cup of French Vanilla Cappachino after they got their drinks they went and sat down. "Now Serena what's been bothering you?" He asked her. She sighed and nodded. "Well actually what's bothering me is the fact that, I don't want my child to grow up with out a father, one that loves her and cares for her. I just don't want to give her up for adoption but I'm going to keep her no doubt, I want to take care of her but I know it's gonna be hard and I don't want to do it alone." She said as she just stared into her drink. Darien looked at her. "I mean I didn't even grow up with my dad, or my mom for that matter..." She said but trailed off and never finished her sentence. "I understand, you don't want your baby to go through what you did is that what your saying?" He asked her and she nodded. "Well if you'll allow me to help I will I think it's right that you would have to raise the child alone." He said to her as he took one of her hands in his. "At least as your doctor anyway." she looked up and smiled, "Thank you Darien." she said as she looked at the clock. "OH no I'm late for work! Sorry to leave like this Darien, but I gotta book it, my boss is gonna be so mad." She said as she downed the hot drink and flew out the door. Darien watched her run out the door to the coffee shop and sighed softly. ~She really is something else. ~ He thought to himself as he stood up and walked out the door as well on his way to the hospital.
When Serena arrived at work her boss greeted her. "Miss. Moon I want to see you in my office right now!" He yelled at her. Serena sighed and walked into the office closing the door behind her. "Miss. Moon, what's your excuse for not coming into work yesterday?" He asked already knowing the reason. "I was in the hospital sir, I passed out." She said as he nodded. "And why are you late today?" He asked her. "I was having a cup of coffee with my doctor, he wanted to talk to me." She said and he nodded, "Well I was hoping that you would have been here on time but get to work Miss Moon." He said, she nodded and left the room.
Serena sat down at her desk and started to do her work. As she was working she heard a familiar voice and cringed. "She's at her work station Travis, why are you here to see her anyway you know I don't allow visitors in the work-place." Her boss said. "Oh it's very important sir." Travis said in a smooth voice. Serena cringed and stood up and walked over to the copy machine. "There you are Ser!" she heard Travis call to her as he left her boss and walked over to her a wicked gleam in his eye. "What do you want Travis?" she asked in a cold steely tone of voice. "Why I wanted to see you sweetheart, don't act like you didn't want to see me cause I know you did." He said as he wrapped an arm around her waist and turned her around so he could kiss her softly. Unfortunately for him he didn't see the fist that was coming to the side of his head. "Don't touch me Travis, not now not ever." She said in that steely voice. "What the fuck? You little bitch! What the hell is your problem?" He asked as he backed away from her surprise and anger in his voice. "You're my problem, go away and leave me alone!" She yelled at him. Her boss watched the whole thing as it progressed. "I'll leave you alone alright Serenity, but you'll be sorry." He said as he walked out of the building.
Serena went back to her station and on the desk was a card. She didn't want to open it but her curiosity got the best of her. When she opened the card she then began to cry. "Congratulations on our First child Serenity, cherish it well. Travis." Was all it said her boss came over to her. "Go home Miss. Moon, you shouldn't have come in today." He said just as the phone on her desk rang. "Hello?" She said "Hi Ser, what's going on?" She heard the cheery voice of Mina on the other line. "I'm on my way home from work." She said softly a hint of sadness in her voice. "Ser what's wrong?" Mina asked, "Travis came by." Serena said softly. "Alright, I'll be here, the others went home for a few minuets I'll wait for you." Mina said as she hung up the phone.
Serena got what little bit of stuff she had brought into work with her today and walked home. It was still quite chilly out and the snow had started to fall. "Oh no, this is not good." She said as the snow got heavier. She ducked into an arcade that was run by a close friend and sibling of hers. "Andy you here?" She said as she walked in. "Yeah Ser at the counter." A young man with blond hair said as he finished serving a customer. "Hey sis what's up? How come your not at work?" He asked her as he fixed her a milkshake. "My boss told me to go home, not only that but Travis came by today." she said as she sighed softly. He set the shake in front of her. "You got into a fight with him?" He said noting her bruised knuckles. She nodded and drank he shake. "Yeah, and I know you remember that night right were I came running to your place?" She asked and he nodded. "Well I just found out yesterday that I'm carrying his child." She said as she put her head down and started to cry. Andy walked from behind the counter and wrapped his arms around her as she cried. "It's gonna be ok Ser, I'll make him pay for his crime..." He started to say until he was interrupted. "That's not all, Andrew he's threatened me." She said. Andrew's face became a mask of steel when he heard this. "Don't worry sis, he's gonna pay big time." He said as he helped Serena out to his Explorer. "I gotta get back home I told Mina I was coming home." She told him. He nodded as he drove off.
It only took a few minutes for them to reach the apartment. Once Andrew parked the two walked up the stairs. Serena pulled out her key as they reached the door. Serena walked into the apartment and went to put her things up. Andrew walked into the apartment after her, and he went to see Mina. When he got to her door a note greeted him. "I told you that you would be sorry Serenity..." The note said. Andrew pulled the note off the door and pushed it open. He gasped loudly at what he saw. Mina's prone body was laying on the floor covered in blood. Unknown to Andrew Serena had walked up behind him and let out a shrill scream when she saw her twin's body. "NO THAT BASTARD!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs and she fell to the ground crying. Andrew walked into the room and placed a sheet of Mina's body that's when he noticed a note on the table. "Ser there's a note." He said as he opened it and read it. "I'm fine Ser, but as soon as I got of Mike came he left a life like version of me on the bed, he knew what was to happen, I love you and I will see you and Andy as soon as the threat is gone. Love Mina." Andrew finished reading the note out loud to Serena. Serena sat up and whipped her face. "Then we better get rid of the dummy." She said standing up. "I'll be back I need to go to the doctors. I have an appointment today." She said once more. "I'm taking you Ser, from what Rei told me your seeing Darien." he said and he nodded.
The two walked back out Andrew tossing the dummy into a trash bag and then into a Dumpster as Serena got into the car. Once Andrew was in the car they drove off. They reached the hospital several minutes later and a nurse greeted them. "How can I help you?" She asked. "I would like to see Dr. Shields." Serena said. The nurse nodded and showed them to his office. "He'll be along shortly." She said and walked out. True to the nurse's word Darien walked into the office two minuets later. "Hello and what can I do for you today Ser." Darien said looking at Serena before he even noticed Andrew. "I just didn't know what else to do..." She said as she started crying Andrew immediately tried to comfort her and that's when Darien saw him. "Andrew what are you doing here?" Darien asked. "What dose it look like man I'm trying to comfort my sister." Andrew said. "I didn't know you had a sister." Darien said. "Not many people do. I think she trust you a lot to come see you out of the blue like this Dar." He said and Darien nodded and looked at Serena. "why are you crying?" he asked. "My ex came by and I punched him after he tried to kiss me. then he threatened me and told me I'd be sorry. after that he tried to kill my sister but she left, and I'm scared as hell and don't know what to do." She said as she started to calm down. "I don't know if this would help at all Ser, but I want to take you out, say to the Easter dance the hospital is throwing, if it's ok with you that is?" he asked her. Andrew nodded knowing Darien's intentions were good and clear for his sister. "I guess, then maybe I could calm down some." She said as she nodded. "Good. If you look forward to it I'm sure you'll calm down." He said as he kissed her forehead. Serena smiled softly and sighed. ~i wish I had met Darien before I met Travis.~ she thought to herself. ~I hope she understands what I mean by this gesture, even with as much trouble she has she seems to have brought a light into my life...~ Darien thought to himself. ~Those two make a cute couple. Just like they did when they were little~ Andrew thought. "Now how bout we get our minds off of such somber things and get our minds on this dance. Hey Dar is it ok if Susan and I come as well?" Andrew asked. "Yeah your guest of mine, and I know you want to keep an eye on your little sister." Darien said nodding. "Alright then Serena you go back to Andrew and Susan's and get some rest. I think you'll be safer there, Travis doesn't know where he lives dose he?" Darien asked and Serena shook her head. "Ok, we'll see you later Darien." Both of them said as they walked out and drove off to Andrew's place.

"Serena calm down, I want to take you to the hospital, because you don't look so good, ok?" Rei asked her. Serena nodded and Rei helped her up. The two walked over to Rei's fire red Mustang GTX. Rei helped Serena get into the car before she got into the driver's side. Rei turned on the engine and looked behind her to make sure no one was in the way before she backed out and started her drive to the hospital.
By the time Rei reached the hospital Serena had passed out. Rei hurriedly ran inside to the front desk to talk to the nurse. "Excuse me, my friend just passed out in my car on our way here.

Rei nodded politely and left heading for the room her friend was in.
When Rei reached Serena's room Dr. Shields was already they're checking up on her. "Is she going to be ok Darien?" Rei asked the blue eyed, ebony haired doctor. "She'll be on, but she needs to eat through to support herself and her growing child." He said. "What do you mean growing child?" She replied. "She's 3 months pregnant Rei, didn't you know?" he asked her. Rei shook her head. "Rei what's her full name?" He asked her. "Serenity Moon." She said. ~Hmm Serenity Moon, that name sounds familiar to me some how~ Darien thought to himself.
Serena started to stir and wake up. "Huh, what's going on? Where am I?" Serena asked when she awoke. "Your in the hospital Miss Moon, your friend said you passed out in her car." he said to her. "I did? I don't remember. Wait, what's wrong with me?" She asked. "Well first let me introduce myself, I'm your doctor, Darien Shields, and secondly you need to eat miss, or you'll damage the health of your child not to mention yourself." He told her. "No I'm not pregnant, I cant be I haven't..." she said before she trailed off to the events of one dreadful December night.
**It was a cold December night and Serena had just walked in from a long days work. "Mina I'm home!" She yelled. "She's not here Ser. She told me to tell you she went out with some guy tonight." A male voice said to her. "Oh, hi Travis, you wanna watch a movie while I fix something to eat?" She asked him as she walked into the kitchen. "No actually sere, I want something else from you." He said as he grabbed her arm roughly. "Ouch, Travis, you're hurting me." She said.
Travis just smirked and dragged her out of the kitchen and towards her bedroom. "Now, now Ser you've been holding back on me for to long, and not only do I want some fun but I also want what's rightfully mine." He said as he grabbed her crotch. Serena gasped as she struggled even more trying to get away from him knowing exactly what he wanted and she was not ready to go that far yet.

She pulled back her hand and slapped him across the face, but I had no effect on him. "Some one Help me!" She yelled. No one was near her room or her house and so no one heard her. Travis once again pushed her back onto the bed, and this time he cuffed her hands to the top of the bedpost so that she couldn't escape. Then to keep her quiet he put a gag in her mouth. "That aughta shut you up." he said, right before he got a foot in the mouth. "Why you little bitch!" he said and punched her in the stomach and a muffled scream escaped from her mouth.
He finished pulling the rest of her clothing off and started groping at her body. Serena couldn't bear to look, but when she opened her eyes she saw him standing before her in his nude glory.

Rei sat there with Serena "Rei I don't know what to do I don't want this child, it's not the way I wanted my first child to be conceived." Serena said to Rei as she cried. "I know Serena, but we can't let you have an abortion." Rei said, "You know I could never do that Rei, ever that's the worst thing I could do." Serena said. Rei nodded and walked over to the phone, "I'm calling Mina and the others, you get some rest, and before you know it they'll be here." Rei said. Serena nodded and closed her eyes and drifting off into a light nap.
Outside the room Darien was standing there listing to the conversation. "Now Dr. Shields you know you shouldn't be eavesdropping on patient conversations." A blue haired lady said. "I'm sorry Dr. Anderson, but I think it's one of your daughters friends in there. I know Rei is in there, but I don't know if the other girl hangs around with them." He said as they walked down to the lounge. "What's the other girls name?" she asked him. "Her name is Serenity Moon, Laura." He said. Laura nodded "The is one of Ami's friends, I'm sure Rei's called them and they're on there way." Laura said as she got herself a cup of coffee. Darien sat down to wonder more about Serena in his free time.
While Darien was on his coffee break the other girls arrived in the hospital to see Serena. "Ser, what's going on?" Another blond said as she sat by the bedside. "Oh Mina, I just want to go back home right now. I don't even want this all to be real." Serena said to the girl who was indeed Mina. Mina and Serena were splitting images of each other. Both with bright ice blue eyes and platinum blond hair. Only difference between them was the length of their hair and how it was kept. Mina being the younger of the two by just 2 minuets kept hers knee length with a bow in the back of her hair while Serena kept hers long and in two buns with two platinum blond streamers.
Mina just held her sister as a girl with short blue hair and star blue eyes walked in and spoke to Rei. "Rei are you sure everything is going to be alright once we get her home?" she asked her. "Yes Ami, everything will be fine. She just needs to calm down." Rei told the blue haired girl. Just as a girl with brown hair and emerald eyes spoke to her. "How long is she going to be here?" She asked Rei. "They want to keep her a few more hours to make sure she's going to be ok, then she can go home. Lita you're going to be working over time though." Rei said and the brown haired girl nodded and left to go to the apartment that the twins shared.
Darien walked into the room just as Lita left. "Ok, well it's good to see all of you here. Ami, your mom wants to see you in her office." He said. Ami nodded and kissed Serena on the forehead. "I'll be right back Ser, my mom wants me." She said and walked out the room. "When can I go home Dr. Shields?" Serena asked. "In about 3 hours, we want to make sure you're ok before we let you go." He said as he started to take her vital signs again. She just lay there and watched him before she turned to Mina. "Travis hasn't come by has he?" She asked, Darien watched her and listened to what she was saying. "No Ser, he hasn't. I think you should give up on him, there's someone else as far as I can see who has a thing for you." Mina said looking right at Darien. He couldn't hide what he was starting to feel for her sister from her and only nodded.
Serena looked at Mina, "Get real Mina, like any guy would actually want to date me now that I've been abused and impregnated Serena said as she started to cry. Mina tried to comfort her sister. "Oh Serena that's not true, there are guys that don't mind it, as long as they care about you and you care about them that's all that matters to them." Mina hugged Serena and she hugged back. "Are you sure?" Serena asked and Mina nodded. "Yes I'm sure sister." She said once again looking at Darien.
Three hours later Serena was released to go home. The car ride back to the apartment was very quiet as Mina drove. Serena sat in the back sleeping as Rei held her up with Ami in the front. "Well I guess you guys will be staying around for a while right?" Mina asked Rei and Ami. "Yeah, I closed the shop for the weekend planing on staying with you guys anyway." Rei said as she stroked Serena's hair. "Not me, I have to go to school tomorrow." Ami says. "Ami, I'm sure your teacher would forgive you for missing one day of school to stay with your friend when she really needs you." Rei said. "Your right Rei, but my teachers don't like their students missing test. But I'll try and get an excuse from my mom." Ami said as she looked out the window.
When the reached the apartment smells were rising out of the kitchen once they entered. Lita was in there cooking up a storm. "Good to see you guys are home, I know Ser, cant pass up my cooking and she'll eat like a crazy person." Lita said, as she looked at Serena who blinked awake the moment she smelled Lita's cooking. "When do we eat?" Serena asked yawning, the girls smiled and Serena sat down at the table as Lita put a plate of fried chicken, mash pataos and corn down in front of her. "Thanks Lita you're the best." Serena said as she began to eat. The others sat down and were met with the same meal, except for Ami; she had a salad since she was a vegetarian.
After the girls finished eating Ami, Lita and Rei all went and sat down on the couch and started chatting while Serena and Mina went into the bedroom. "Mina, we've known them long enough, don't you think we should tell them about it now?" Serena asked. "I guess so Sere, I don't want to. What if they were told to find us and take us back under his orders?" Mina asked, "Oh but yet you told Mike everything about us. Not to mention Mike remembered you from those days we spent at the palace. How do you know he wasn't sent to take us back?" Serena said as she looked at Mina. "First thing Ser, Mike was sent to bring us back for your information, he told me this just last week, but he sees were happy were we are and he cant bring himself to do it, but you're right Sere, we'll tell them right when the time comes. "Mina said as she stood, she knew her sister was right. Both walked into the room Rei looked at Serena and could see that she was tired. "Sere why don't you go to bed, you need to get some rest ok?" Rei said, Serena nodded and went to her room to retire for the night.
Serena awoke to the smell of Lita cooking the next morning. "I didn't know you guys were still here." She said as she walked into the kitchen. "Yeah we're all staying the weekend, even Ami." Lita said smiling. "You mean you guys actually got her to stay here and miss her test and her studies?" Serena asked and Lita nodded her head. "That's a miracle!" Serena said again. Lita just smiled and handed Serena a plate. "MMMM you make the best food Lita, thanks." Serena said looking down at the plate which contained an English Muffin, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and a hash brown. "Hey I enjoy it because I have friends who love my cooking!" Lita said and smiled. Serena took her plate to the table and sat down to eat. The other girls woke up soon after and were all treated with the same meal, except for Ami, she had a hot bowl of oatmeal and an English Muffin. After Serena finished eating she deiced to go for a walk. "I'll be right back you guys, I'm going for a walk." She said. "Be careful Sere." Mina said as Serena grabbed her heavy coat and walked out the door.
Serena walked down the street looking in all the store windows when suddenly she saw a shop that was selling wedding dresses; she sighed softly as she looked in and saw all the different dresses they had to offer. She also saw the dress that she would have hoped to have for her own wedding. She just stood there a sad look on her face as she began to realize that her child wouldn't have a father and that she would probably never get married. Unknown to her Darien had seen her face while he was inside the shop next to the one she was looking in. "Hello Ms. Moon, how are you?" He asked. "I'm fine Dr. Shields and how about yourself?" She asked as she turned around with a huge smile on her face but it didn't hide the sad look in her eyes. "I'm fine and please just call me Darien. Would you like to go have a cup of coffee with me and then you can tell me what's bothering you?" He asked her. "I don't mind, and you can call me Serena." She said and he offered her his arm and she took it.
When they reached the coffee place they both ordered a cup of French Vanilla Cappachino after they got their drinks they went and sat down. "Now Serena what's been bothering you?" He asked her. She sighed and nodded. "Well actually what's bothering me is the fact that, I don't want my child to grow up with out a father, one that loves her and cares for her. I just don't want to give her up for adoption but I'm going to keep her no doubt, I want to take care of her but I know it's gonna be hard and I don't want to do it alone." She said as she just stared into her drink. Darien looked at her. "I mean I didn't even grow up with my dad, or my mom for that matter..." She said but trailed off and never finished her sentence. "I understand, you don't want your baby to go through what you did is that what your saying?" He asked her and she nodded. "Well if you'll allow me to help I will I think it's right that you would have to raise the child alone." He said to her as he took one of her hands in his. "At least as your doctor anyway." she looked up and smiled, "Thank you Darien." she said as she looked at the clock. "OH no I'm late for work! Sorry to leave like this Darien, but I gotta book it, my boss is gonna be so mad." She said as she downed the hot drink and flew out the door. Darien watched her run out the door to the coffee shop and sighed softly. ~She really is something else. ~ He thought to himself as he stood up and walked out the door as well on his way to the hospital.
When Serena arrived at work her boss greeted her. "Miss. Moon I want to see you in my office right now!" He yelled at her. Serena sighed and walked into the office closing the door behind her. "Miss. Moon, what's your excuse for not coming into work yesterday?" He asked already knowing the reason. "I was in the hospital sir, I passed out." She said as he nodded. "And why are you late today?" He asked her. "I was having a cup of coffee with my doctor, he wanted to talk to me." She said and he nodded, "Well I was hoping that you would have been here on time but get to work Miss Moon." He said, she nodded and left the room.
Serena sat down at her desk and started to do her work. As she was working she heard a familiar voice and cringed. "She's at her work station Travis, why are you here to see her anyway you know I don't allow visitors in the work-place." Her boss said. "Oh it's very important sir." Travis said in a smooth voice. Serena cringed and stood up and walked over to the copy machine. "There you are Ser!" she heard Travis call to her as he left her boss and walked over to her a wicked gleam in his eye. "What do you want Travis?" she asked in a cold steely tone of voice. "Why I wanted to see you sweetheart, don't act like you didn't want to see me cause I know you did." He said as he wrapped an arm around her waist and turned her around so he could kiss her softly. Unfortunately for him he didn't see the fist that was coming to the side of his head. "Don't touch me Travis, not now not ever." She said in that steely voice. "What the fuck? You little bitch! What the hell is your problem?" He asked as he backed away from her surprise and anger in his voice. "You're my problem, go away and leave me alone!" She yelled at him. Her boss watched the whole thing as it progressed. "I'll leave you alone alright Serenity, but you'll be sorry." He said as he walked out of the building.
Serena went back to her station and on the desk was a card. She didn't want to open it but her curiosity got the best of her. When she opened the card she then began to cry. "Congratulations on our First child Serenity, cherish it well. Travis." Was all it said her boss came over to her. "Go home Miss. Moon, you shouldn't have come in today." He said just as the phone on her desk rang. "Hello?" She said "Hi Ser, what's going on?" She heard the cheery voice of Mina on the other line. "I'm on my way home from work." She said softly a hint of sadness in her voice. "Ser what's wrong?" Mina asked, "Travis came by." Serena said softly. "Alright, I'll be here, the others went home for a few minuets I'll wait for you." Mina said as she hung up the phone.
Serena got what little bit of stuff she had brought into work with her today and walked home. It was still quite chilly out and the snow had started to fall. "Oh no, this is not good." She said as the snow got heavier. She ducked into an arcade that was run by a close friend and sibling of hers. "Andy you here?" She said as she walked in. "Yeah Ser at the counter." A young man with blond hair said as he finished serving a customer. "Hey sis what's up? How come your not at work?" He asked her as he fixed her a milkshake. "My boss told me to go home, not only that but Travis came by today." she said as she sighed softly. He set the shake in front of her. "You got into a fight with him?" He said noting her bruised knuckles. She nodded and drank he shake. "Yeah, and I know you remember that night right were I came running to your place?" She asked and he nodded. "Well I just found out yesterday that I'm carrying his child." She said as she put her head down and started to cry. Andy walked from behind the counter and wrapped his arms around her as she cried. "It's gonna be ok Ser, I'll make him pay for his crime..." He started to say until he was interrupted. "That's not all, Andrew he's threatened me." She said. Andrew's face became a mask of steel when he heard this. "Don't worry sis, he's gonna pay big time." He said as he helped Serena out to his Explorer. "I gotta get back home I told Mina I was coming home." She told him. He nodded as he drove off.
It only took a few minutes for them to reach the apartment. Once Andrew parked the two walked up the stairs. Serena pulled out her key as they reached the door. Serena walked into the apartment and went to put her things up. Andrew walked into the apartment after her, and he went to see Mina. When he got to her door a note greeted him. "I told you that you would be sorry Serenity..." The note said. Andrew pulled the note off the door and pushed it open. He gasped loudly at what he saw. Mina's prone body was laying on the floor covered in blood. Unknown to Andrew Serena had walked up behind him and let out a shrill scream when she saw her twin's body. "NO THAT BASTARD!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs and she fell to the ground crying. Andrew walked into the room and placed a sheet of Mina's body that's when he noticed a note on the table. "Ser there's a note." He said as he opened it and read it. "I'm fine Ser, but as soon as I got of Mike came he left a life like version of me on the bed, he knew what was to happen, I love you and I will see you and Andy as soon as the threat is gone. Love Mina." Andrew finished reading the note out loud to Serena. Serena sat up and whipped her face. "Then we better get rid of the dummy." She said standing up. "I'll be back I need to go to the doctors. I have an appointment today." She said once more. "I'm taking you Ser, from what Rei told me your seeing Darien." he said and he nodded.
The two walked back out Andrew tossing the dummy into a trash bag and then into a Dumpster as Serena got into the car. Once Andrew was in the car they drove off. They reached the hospital several minutes later and a nurse greeted them. "How can I help you?" She asked. "I would like to see Dr. Shields." Serena said. The nurse nodded and showed them to his office. "He'll be along shortly." She said and walked out. True to the nurse's word Darien walked into the office two minuets later. "Hello and what can I do for you today Ser." Darien said looking at Serena before he even noticed Andrew. "I just didn't know what else to do..." She said as she started crying Andrew immediately tried to comfort her and that's when Darien saw him. "Andrew what are you doing here?" Darien asked. "What dose it look like man I'm trying to comfort my sister." Andrew said. "I didn't know you had a sister." Darien said. "Not many people do. I think she trust you a lot to come see you out of the blue like this Dar." He said and Darien nodded and looked at Serena. "why are you crying?" he asked. "My ex came by and I punched him after he tried to kiss me. then he threatened me and told me I'd be sorry. after that he tried to kill my sister but she left, and I'm scared as hell and don't know what to do." She said as she started to calm down. "I don't know if this would help at all Ser, but I want to take you out, say to the Easter dance the hospital is throwing, if it's ok with you that is?" he asked her. Andrew nodded knowing Darien's intentions were good and clear for his sister. "I guess, then maybe I could calm down some." She said as she nodded. "Good. If you look forward to it I'm sure you'll calm down." He said as he kissed her forehead. Serena smiled softly and sighed. ~i wish I had met Darien before I met Travis.~ she thought to herself. ~I hope she understands what I mean by this gesture, even with as much trouble she has she seems to have brought a light into my life...~ Darien thought to himself. ~Those two make a cute couple. Just like they did when they were little~ Andrew thought. "Now how bout we get our minds off of such somber things and get our minds on this dance. Hey Dar is it ok if Susan and I come as well?" Andrew asked. "Yeah your guest of mine, and I know you want to keep an eye on your little sister." Darien said nodding. "Alright then Serena you go back to Andrew and Susan's and get some rest. I think you'll be safer there, Travis doesn't know where he lives dose he?" Darien asked and Serena shook her head. "Ok, we'll see you later Darien." Both of them said as they walked out and drove off to Andrew's place.
