Chapter 2

"Did you say Darien Chiba?! As in the one man who you can't get along with for even a few minutes? That Darien Chiba?!" Mina cried out. Serena sighed; she knew that was going to be the main reaction to the news. It was bad enough she had done the deed and become pregnant by the man, she didn't need her friends to get upset at the fact either. Although she had said nothing for quite awhile, Rei looked at Serena with several emotions in her eyes. A few Serena could identify; anger, sadness, shock; while there were a few that she couldn't read at all. Serena knew that this was going to be harder on Rei than any one of her other friends. Afterall, a few months back Rei and Darien had been dating. He broke it off, telling her that they just weren't in the same place with their lives. It was rumored that he had another girl, and now that she thought about it, Serena was starting to realize how this situation was really looking to Rei. "Rei, it's not what you think at all! I wasn't with him when you guys broke up...I didn't even speak to him until the night I saw him at the party I swear!!" Taking Rei's hands in hers she looked into her eyes and said,"Rei, I would never do anything like that to you. Intentionally or not, I would NEVER hurt you in that way." "I believe that you wouldn't. In fact, I would never suspect you of doing somthing like that to me or anyone for that matter. You are too good a person and a friend to do somthing like that." Rei replied, squeezing her hands. Serena gave her a hug and feeling a little left out, Mina hugged them both tightly.

"So," said Mina, "what are you going to do now Sere? Are you going to tell Darien?" "Well, I thought about it alot. Afterall, how do you tell one of your friends that you're going to have his baby? And before you say anything, yes, he is my friend. Though not that great of one, he's still considered one of my friends, although I hate to admit it, he has been there for me quite alot these past few years, what with my schoolwork and all those job interviews. He's a great guy, and to tell you the truth, I couldn't find a better father for my baby." "So, how are you going to tell him? I mean, what are you going to say?" asked Rei. "Well, I thought I'd just tell him that I'm keeping this baby and that he doesn't have to feel obligated in any way towards me. I'm going to say that whatever he wants to do is up to him, just as long as I get to keep the baby with me." "Ok, but what if he wants nothing to do with it?"Mina questioned. Rei spoke up then. "I know Darien pretty well, he's not the type of guy to just leave this sorta thing hanging, he'll offer to help Sere, I'm sure of it." "Thanks Rei."

*Two weeks later*

It was a cold winter day. The snow was falling all around Serena as she walked down the street looking for the welcoming doors that opened to reveal the Crown Arcade and Cafe. Stepping through the doors, she shook off the snow from her overcoat and looked around for that familiar head of black hair. Spotting Darien by the window in a booth in the back, she walked behind him and placed her hands over his eyes. "Guess who?" she said. A grin appeared on Darien's face. "Hmm, let's see, who could it possibly be....umm, is it Andrew?" "Not even close!" "Ok then how about my darling meatball head..Serena?" "Ok ok, you got me..it's no fun playing this game with you." she said sitting down across from him. "Besides I haven't worn that hairstyle for two years now!" He watched her as she took off her gloves and laid them on the table between them. "Yeah well, what else am I supposed to tease you about? I mean, you're basically perfect now, nothing really there to make fun of." he said grinning even wider. "Whatever, I'm far from perfect, especially now." she said, saying the last part quietly so Darien wouldn't hear. He did. "What do you mean by that? What's making you less than perfect at this specific point in time?" "Well I might as well tell you now, I mean I was gonna wait until we were alone, but if you're curious..." she trailed off. "Just tell me Sere. Is it bad? What can I do to help?" he said; his grin turning into a small frown of worry. She took a deep breath. "Darien, you and I have been friends for a while now right? I mean, we don't fight as often anymore, and when we do it's always in fun. What I'm trying to say is that we've gotten alot closer lately and well, it turns out that umm, well." "Just spit it out Sere!" "I'm pregnant, Darien, I'm pregnant and it's yours."
