Serena Tsukino sat on the floor and stared in disbelief at the results. The stick had turned pink. Serena was most definitely carrying Darien's baby. How could she have been so stupid? How could she have let Darien seduce her like that? No, that was not the way to think. It was her fault, as well. They both had wanted what had happened. Now, they would have to suffer the consequences.

Flashback

"Oh, Darien. Tonight was so perfect. I just wish that it didn't end so soon," Serena said to her sweetheart of two years.

"I know what you mean, my love. I didn't want it to end so soon either," Darien said in reply.

"Well, I had a wonderful time," Serena said. "Would you like to walk me to the door?"

"Of course I would," Darien said. He then got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side. He opened the door and held his hand out for Serena.

"You always were the gentleman," Serena said and placed her hand in his. The young couple walked to the front door of the Tsukino residence and Serena unlocked it before turning to face Darien.

"Goodnight, Darien," she said.

"Goodnight, Serena," Darien said and leaned in for the traditional goodnight kiss. As their lips touched, both Serena and Darien could feel something that they've never felt before. The kiss deepened as Darien moved his tongue along Serena's lower lip. She moaned as she opened her mouth to let him in. Without much thinking, Serena reached behind herself and opened the door. Once inside the house, Darien began to move his hands all over Serena's body. They both knew what was happening and once Darien parted their passionate kiss, he looked Serena in the eyes.

"Are you sure?" he asked. When Serena nodded, Darien lifted his beloved off the floor and carried her up the stairs and into Serena's bedroom. He used one foot and kicked the door closed.

End Flashback

Luckily, Serena's parents had not been home that night. They ran a big company in Tokyo and had been away on a business trip at the time. That night had been over a month ago and Serena had missed her period. She was worried so she took the bus to a part of the city in which none of her friends visited and bought a home pregnancy kit.

How was she going to tell her parents? They were so proud of her. They had thought that she was a trustworthy girl and that's why they'd left her alone that week. Well, they certainly wouldn't be doing that anymore. Serena knew that her friends would be there for her no matter what, but what about Darien? What would he say? Would he be happy? Would he be angry? Would he break up with her on the spot or do whatever he could for the mother of his child? Serena couldn't wait another moment to find out. Since her parents were at the office and it was summer, Serena picked up the phone and dialed Darien's number. It rang a few times before Darien answered.

"Hello," he said into the receiver.

"Darien, it's me," Serena said.

"Oh, hi, sweetheart. How are you?" Darien asked. "Sorry it took me so long to answer. I was in the shower."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Serena said, trying to sound neutral.

"That's okay. So, what's up?" Darien asked.

"Would you come over for a bit? I need to talk to you," Serena said.

"Is there something wrong?" Darien asked.

"I'll tell you everything when you get here," Serena said.

"Okay. I'll be there as soon as I can," Darien said. "I love you."

"I love you, too," Serena said and hung up. She began pacing back and forth, waiting. She wondered how she would break the news to Darien that he was to become a father. After what seemed like an eternity, Darien's car finally pulled up in front of the house. He rang the doorbell and, almost immediately, Serena answered.

"Serena, please tell me what's wrong? You know that I'll always love you, but please tell me," Darien all but begged.

"Come sit down," Serena said and sat on the living room sofa. When Darien sat down beside her, Serena placed her hand on top of his and looked him straight in the eye.

"Darien, do you remember what happened between us last month?" she asked.

"Yes, I do," Darien answered. Serena could see the worry in his eyes so she tried to make this as painless as possible.

"Darien, this isn't easy for me and it won't be easy for you once you hear what I have to say," Serena said.

"Serena, are you breaking up with me?" Darien said.

"No. No, I'm not," Serena said. "But, I'm not sure you'll want to stay with me once I've said this."

"Serena, please. Just tell me what's wrong," Darien said as tears began to form in his eyes.

"Darien, I'm pregnant," Serena said.
