This one shot just kind of went through my head last night, haha. (:
Also, I wrote it in italics because I liked the look of it better, it DOESN'T mean they're flashback's in this story.
Special Ways
2014
Serena looked at the clock, 7:36 it read. Dan would be home any minute now, and she couldn't wait. It was their anniversary, one year to the fact. It'd been 665 days of love, even though they'd gone through love for the past six years, this was their love of being married to one another. She knew something Dan didn't and it was going to stay that way till this evening, this was the night that there'd be an addiction to their small, yet amazing family. Serena had known for almost a week now and was about ready to explode, her and Dan never kept secrets from each other, even though this wasn't quite a 'secret' she still felt like she was hiding something from Dan, and just needed to get it out. But, she was proud of herself for being able to keep it in, even though she'd almost spilled it about a million times. She couldn't even count how many times she'd picked up the phone or started to walk out the door to tell Blair or her mom, but she knew Dan should be the first to know, he's the father. Serena looked around the small apartment, it was small, maybe even too small for three people. As soon as her thoughts stopped, Dan walked through the one, of two doors. She looked up, smiling.
"Hey" He said, stepping forward.
"Hi, how's your day?" She asked, trying to stall time.
"The same, writing, writing, writing." As soon as Dan had finished College, he'd started writing short novels, then before he knew it he was one of the 'New York's Best Sellers' "Yours?"
"It was alright, I've been mostly sitting here just waiting for you." Serena laughed, her sweet four year old laugh.
"Oh, right...our anniversary. I almost forgot." He joked, pulling out roses from behind him. "Don't worry there's more, but you'll just have to wait."
She gasped, "Aw, Dan you remembered that white roses were my favorite!" Serena had always paferd white roses, she thought red roses were too overrated.
"Of course."
"Wait here, I have something for you..." She said, going into their room.
"You don't have to give it to me now, the roses were just a pre-present." Dan called out from the kitchen.
"But, I want to."
"If you insist..." He smiled, taking the small box from her. Shaking it, like a little boy on Christmas to see what he had gotten. Finally, coming to his senses he started unwrapping the box, lifted the lid and saw a piece of paper laying inside. He looked up at her, chuckling, obviously not reading what it had read.
"Well, read it." Serena said, impatiently.
He looked down at the box once again, focusing on the paper, that read; 'You'll get your present in 9 months' Of course, like any other man it took him a minute to think. Nine months?! That could only mean one thing.
"B-baby?" He stuttered, looking straight into her eyes, as her head nodded. Dan grabbed her and pulled her into hug, a hug that could only mean one thing, happiness.
2017
Twenty-six year old Serena looked around the new home, it was defiantly big enough for three people, maybe even five or six. She watched as the movers brought in their furniture, boxers and such, while she was holding her three year old son.
"What about our old house, mommy?" Jamie asked, in confusion. After Serena had told Dan she was pregnant three years ago, he'd called everyone they knew and could hardly keep his excitement down. They'd named their little boy Jamie Daniel, he was born March 8, a month early. Which had him staying in the hospital for over two weeks until his lungs fully developed. Now, Serena couldn't believe how big he'd gotten, their little boy was growing up fast, too fast. She missed having a baby around the house, Jamie didn't even liked to be called a baby anymore, but he was still her little baby.
"Well, other people are going to be living there, while we live here."
"Oh, but I liked my other house." He pouted, crossing his arms.
"Honey, I'm sure you'll get to love this house too. It's much bigger then the other house. You have a bigger room, a separate room for your toys, even a backyard." Serena could have rambled on about all the things that were better then the other house, but left them for him to explore for himself.
"When do I get to surprise daddy with my shirt?" Jamie asked.
"When he gets home, okay?"
"K!" He said, excitedly.
Dan walked through the front door, almost tripping over the boxes that were scattered all over the floor. "Serena, Jamie?!" He called out, to the quite house. As he got no answer he walked into the very open kitchen and heard laughter coming from outside. He looked through the glass door and saw Serena and Jamie playing in the grass. He smiled, he knew that backyard would come to use. He opened the door and ran out to greet his two favorite people. But, didn't get very far before he heard, "Daddy!" and saw a little boy running to him. Serena quickly got up smoothing her shirt, that had grass all over it.
"Jamie!" He said, picking him up and smoothing his hair back, as he laughed. "What were you guys doing?"
"I got attacked by the tickle monster." Jamie said, pointing to Serena, who was walking towards them.
"Well, that means we'll just have to get her back won't we?" Dan said, setting Jamie down, looking at him for his approval. But, noticed his shirt, 'I'm going to be a big brother soon!' His head quickly turned to look at Serena who was smiling like crazy! She knew this would catch him off guard, but she also knew he loved every bite of it. He smiled, walking towards her, "Yes, we'll definitely have to get her back!"
Yeah, really random. I just felt like writing it. If you thought it was cute or dumb, or have any suggestions on my writing please review! I except any kind of reviews! Thanks for reading!!
