~3 Months Ago~

A young man with dark handsome features looked upon his wife who was sleeping peacefully. The large rather comfortable king size bed shifted under his weight as he moved closer to her. He leaned his head down and ran his fingers through her long silver locks. He brushed her sweat soaked bangs from her forehead and replaced it with a tender kiss.

"I love you so much, My Lady," he whispered and seen a small smile grace her lips.

He momentarily watched as the thick blankets rose and fell, as she peacefully slept. He slowly but surely pulled the blankets down exposing large supple breast down to a severely large and rounded abdomen. He put his hands on either side of his love's swollen belly, and he could feel his unborn child kick and punch at his hands.

A sense of pride swelled in his heart and he leaned down and kissed the swollen belly. "I love you too…Small Lady."

He ran his hands across her belly one more time and then pulled the blankets back up to cover his love. He stared upon her once again. "Serenity, my love…" He took a hold of her left hand and ran his thump over a silver band that had crescent shaped diamonds embedded in it.

"My wife…I will make things right…I will slay him for what he has done to you." He kissed her hand delicately and laid her hand upon her chest. He stood up and his eyes flashed gold momentarily before residing back to midnight blue. He went to the door and passed one more lingering stare. He felt a momentarily feeling of dread well up in the pit of his stomach. He looked down at his left hand and stared at the silver band upon his own finger. He chewed on his bottom lip and then pulled the ring off his finger.

He advanced towards the bed and took a hold of his wife's. He opened her hand up and placed his ring there. He closed her hand up and made his way back to the door.

"I will see you soon, My Lady." And with that, he was gone.

~Next Morning~

Serenity let out a soft moan and proceeded to stretch, beginning her morning routine. Flopping her arms down beside her lazily, she yawned rather loudly, she opened her eyes wearily, to reveal crystal blue eyes with silver specks embedded in them. Starring up at the ceiling with a smile, she moved a hand to the right, expecting her hands to lie upon her lover, but was met with a soft touch of silk sheets. Frowning, she turned her head towards the same direction and indeed her love was not there.

"Darien?" her frown deepened and she sat up and her eyes scanned around the rather large room. She looked towards her alarm clock and read the blaring red numbers of 9:15am. With a 'huff' she slung the blankets off her and with much difficulty, rotating her body so that her feet were touching the cool wooden floor.

She rubbed her belly affectionately. "As much as I love that you're rooming inside of me…" she paused and placed her hands on either side of her belly and glanced at it. "I wouldn't mind you coming out into the world and gracing us with your presence Small Lady."

As if on cue Small Lady gave a soft yet firm kick, causing Serenity to giggle. She slowly shifted her weight drastically to the side and took a hold of her robe that she had tossed to the floor the night before. She let a small giggle escape her, pondering how Darien always chided her for not putting things where they were supposed to go. From the corner of her eye she saw a flash of silver. Looking towards it, and grabbing at it, she brought it to view, noting that it was Darien's wedding band.

Standing to her swollen feet, she slipped on the robe. She frowned deeply, placing the ring on her thumb, although it was too big. "Why is his ring on the floor...what is going on?" She whispered and proceeded to the door. She stepped out into the hallway and made her way to the first door on the right. She was ready to knock, when she felt her ears twitch.

"Someone's in the kitchen." She murmured to herself. "It might be Darien."

She made her way to the kitchen and instead of finding Darien, she seen her younger brother sitting at the table, fixing a bowl of cereal. She looked him over; he wasn't little anymore now at the age of 16. He had Serenity's crystal blue eyes with the silver specks. He had short unruly brown hair, with streaks of silver, and his bangs hung into his eyes. At her height of 5'7, he stood at 5'9; no, he wasn't little anymore.

A smile graced her pretty features, "Morning Sammy."

He engulfed a mouthful of cereal, and looked up at her. He gave her a toothy grin, milk trails drizzling from either side of his mouth. She giggled and made her way to the table and leaned against it, staring down at her brother.

"Have you seen Darien?" she asked.

She watched as he swallowed the last of the cereal and frowned in thought. "No, I haven't…oh!" and looked up at her, flashing another toothy grin, "Happy Birthday, Serena!"

Serena stared at him stunned, as Sammy leaned over and rubbed his sister's belly. He grinned when he felt his niece kick at his hand excitedly. "It'd be so cool if she was born today." He said, giving her belly one more good rub then dropping his hand to the table, he looked back up at his sister, whom was staring off.

She stared at the calendar that hung on the wall by the kitchen door. She stared at the date June 30th and indeed, today is her birthday. 'Today is my birthday,' she thought.

Suddenly she was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door. Arching a brow, she looked towards the front door. "Who would be knocking at this time of morning," she whispered to her self.

She made her way to the door and placed her hand on the door knob. "Who is it?" she called out, but received no answer. Frowning, she opened the door and was met with nothing. Her frown deepened and she looked from either side, seeing no one in sight. Suddenly she froze, a strong smell invading her senses, causing her eyes to flash gold.

Sammy stared at his sister's back, frowning deeply, for that same smell too had hit him, causing his eyes to turn gold. "Serena…"

Serena's eyes shifted downward and there was a box sitting on the door step. Without hesitation she slowly squatted, much to the protest of Small Lady. She grasped the box and stood to her feet. It had some weight to it and that harsh smell invaded her nose on ten fold.

The box wasn't sealed, much to her surprise and she gave it a slight shake, hearing something move. She opened the flaps and peaked her head over to look in side. Her face visibly paled and she dropped the box. Whatever was in the box rolled out and tumbled down the steps.

She heard Sammy run towards her and she felt her heart begin to pound in her chest and ears. She felt a sharp pain go throughout her belly and warm liquid trail down her inner thigh. She closed her eyes and let out a blood curdling scream.

Sammy eased his way out of the door and looked at the blood stained steps. His gold eyes looked towards a trail of blood that ended at the bottom of the steps. His eyes widened in horror as he stared upon the head that lay on the concrete stairway.

He took a step back, "D-Darien…"

He heard a loud thump behind him, causing him to turn quickly. Serena fainted, lying flat on her back, blood flowing from between her legs. "Oh god…Serena!"

He ran to her and squatted down beside her and padded her on the cheek. "Serena! Wake up!" she didn't move and Sammy began to panic. He jumped to his feet and ran to the phone dialing 911.
