Wow… wow on the reviews, favorite, and followers. I really didn't expect for this fanfiction to be a hit. All I can say is Thank you so much liking Serenity Selene Tsukino and I'm sorry to keep you guys waiting; just got done with a Biology test (the joy of it.)
Here's Chapter 2
"Long time no see Serena."
"Darien?"
The two former couples took a good look at one another and seeing how much they have both grown in the past eight years.
Rini turned around seeing the man named Darien was only a few steps away from her. She turned her head to face her mother. "Momma, do you know this man?" The little girl looked up at her mother.
Her blue eyes looked from Darien down to Serenity. "He's someone I use to know. Why don't you go on the swings for a bit then we'll go see your aunts, yeah?" Serena told her daughter.
Rini nodded her head and starts running towards the swing set.
"Be careful while running there!" The blonde mother yelled her daughter's concern.
"Someone you use to know? Ouch. That hurts Serena." The raven haired man being blunt. "Why couldn't you tell me that you kept our child?" He asked wanting to know.
Serena roses up to her feet and standing up straight as she straightens out her dress then folded her arms as takes two steps forward. "I didn't stuttered with my words; you're someone I use to know. Well… you said that you didn't want our child suggesting to get rid of it. At least I took responsibly and raised our daughter by myself as a single mother." She stated.
Darien sighted shaking his head as he paced around for a couple of seconds. 'This is real.'
"I can't picture my life with Serenity and when you said those words to me, go get an abortion. I thought to myself, what kind of person would I be if I ended an innocent life or better yet a mother? That would have haunted me for the rest of my life while you slept peaceful without a care in the world." Serena looked dead at her ex-boyfriend in the eye.
He placed his hands in his hair and breathed out. "Why didn't you… You could have told me about my daughter I just met six minutes ago!? I've been trying to get a hold of you for eight years if you were doing alright and everything. Hell I even try talking to Andrew about it." Darien had is hands in mid-air becoming frustrated.
"You really think I would call you across the country and be like 'Oh hi Darien, even though we broke up. I kept our kid.'" Imitating being on the phone as she looked at him. "Like you would drop your education just to become a father which I call bullshit on in the first place." Serena placed her hands on her hip. "Oh, for the record, Andrew hasn't told you anything about me or Serenity because it was none of your business then and it's not your business now. I haven't had the heart or being a horrible mother by telling the sweetest little girl that her own father that she's been asking for five years and telling her 'Your father didn't want you, I wanted you. There's nothing I wouldn't change.' I don't regret what we did and I don't regret having Serenity; not for a second." She replied being serious.
"Serena, you know that I grew up without my parents. I grew up being an orphan and I always wanted to have a family until I was older like I am now. There's not a day goes by that I missed or worried about you. I was afraid that you were going to be in depression again like the time we broke up when I was nineteen so of course I call my best friend to check on you." Darien stated as he confessed his feelings towards her.
"You think I would put our daughter at risk? Why wo-" She closed her mouth as she looked down.
"Serena, Serena. What's wrong?" He walked up to her being concern then placed a hand on her shoulder. "What happened?" The raven haired man asked.
The blonde woman had tears running down her face as she looked up at her ex-boyfriend. "My pregnancy was fine until the ending of June. It was the week of my birthday and graduated high school from that June. Anyway, I started to vomiting, headaches, I couldn't stand sight of light, and shortness of breath. June thirtieth came and I was bloated. I rushed into the hospital and talked to a doctor telling me that I had Toxemia; meaning that I had high blood pressure. I had to get an emergency C-section. I stayed in the hospital for thirteen days and the doctor told me that Serenity would never have a normal life that she might be disable or have special needs," Serena breathed out as she catches her breath then wipes her tears and cleared her voice. "But with my parent's help of feeding her food, she's a complete miracle. I felt like I put her a risk and I live with that every day." The blonde woman was being serious as she kept her eyes set at Darien's then looking back on her daughter.
Darien is in complete shocked and can't believe that she experienced Toxemia while she was pregnant. Serena should have called me, I WOULD have dropped everything to come back here and helped her through this. He felt like someone stabbed him in the stomach fifth teen times and the breath just vanished within seconds. He placed a hand over his mouth trying to wrap that experience in his mind. "Serena, you should have known that even if we do break-up; we always care about each other. We've known each other's for half of our lives. I'll care about you and Rini too." The raven haired man answering being sincere towards the mother of his child and ex-girlfriend.
Serena nodded her head and glad that Darien spoke the truth about each other about how their bond will always be strong even if they move on.
"MOMMY, LOOK AT ME! I CAN SEE THE STREETS!" Their daughter cheered with a smile.
The blonde mother turned to see her daughter height in the swing. "PLEASE BE CAREFUL MINI MOON!" she yelled being a concern.
Darien laughed a little and shook his head. "It's hard to believe that you're a mother, parent now."
"One of us had too plus my family just loves her to death." Serena took a bit of a jab at him.
The raven haired man felt a little hurt when she made a comment about one of them being a parent. "Her name is Serenity?" He asked.
"She's named after me of course and her middle name is Selene like-""Like the moon goddess." Darien finished off her sentence.
"And she has my last name, not yours." Serena stated.
"Your last name?" He turned his head to face her. "Why does she has your last name and not mine? She's my daughter after all." Darien asked being serious.
The blonde mother turned her head to face her ex-boyfriend again. "Yes, My last name. You are her father but she's not your daughter since you didn't want anything to do with her. I've been both parents to her for the past eight years. If and only if I allow you to be in Rini's life." She spoke clear with her eyes seeing his face. "Don't even think about asking me on a date, besides I've been dating my boyfriend for five years and I don't think things would change."
The raven haired snorted hiding his emotions then covering it with a small laugh. "I'll do whatever it takes to win you back my dear Princess Serenity mark my words. Besides, who's your boyfriend Melvin? The geek who hangs out with you and Molly?" Darien asked.
"Ha! Forgot how much of a sarcastic sense of humor you have there, Earth Prince and ew, gross! Melvin and Molly's been dating since freshman year in high school. My boyfriend is in fact; Seiya Kou." Serena replied with a smirk.
His ocean eyes widen with his jaw dropped after hearing the name Seiya Kou and knowing who he is. "Are you kidding me? You're dating the lead singer from Three Lights!? How? When?" The raven haired man asked being shocked.
"Now, why would I joke something about that. How? Serenity and I were at an ice cream pallor and I was at the cash register and apparently I didn't have enough to pay for our cones. We were about to leave until a man who spoke with a clear strong voice and said 'Hey Dumping, I'll pay for it!' I looked back at the man who called me 'Dumping' and I saw him; Seiya. When? We've been together as of now five years. I was twenty and he was twenty-four at the time. Rini approves of Seiya and he understands that I will NEVER choose him over my daughter." Serena folded her arms in front of her chest. "When did you get back into Tokyo?" The blonde woman asked.
"About two years ago. Graduated from Harvard's medical school and I work at Tokyo General as a doctor of course. Fields wises; general, cardiac specialist and surgeon." Darien answered the mother of his daughter.
Serena only nodded her head as a reply. "We have to go and maybe we might run into each other again Darien." She said her goodbye as she walks over back to her daughter at the swing set.
"I hope so too Serena, I really hope so too." He said underneath his breath with a sigh.
7 hours later… Lita's apartment
"ARE YOU KIDDING, HE'S BACK AGAIN?!" Amy, Mina, Lita, and Reya asked with their voice raised up.
"I wish I was kidding but yeah… Darien was there and he met Serenity to top it off. He's been in Tokyo for two years, graduated from Harvard medical school." Serena answered their question as she drinks her glass of water.
"The NERVE of that guy! I can't believe him; five years that you two dated then he got you pregnant and leaves you. Eight years later meeting Rini for the first time and now he wants to play Dad. I call bull on that." The brunette woman said as she cooking up dinner of salmon, fried rice, and mushrooms in the kitchen.
"Motion second with Lita's statement." Reya stated.
"I don't know, maybe he's changed." The other blonde woman shrugged her shoulders. "Amy what do you think?" Mina asked Amy.
Amy stayed silent as she kept her dead down while reading Silver Lining Playbook by Matthew Quick.
"Amy?" Mina asked again with her voice raising up.
"AMY?!" Everyone asked with all eyes turned to her.
The aqua head woman had her eyes closed as she raised her head up and opening them. "I work with him at Tokyo General." She sighted.
"WHAT?" All the woman yelled again.
"Ames, why you didn't tell us this or me?" Serena asked sounding hurt a little.
"Because he asked about you, asked if you had your child. I had to stay away from him as much as possible but at work; that's a whole another story. You guys know that I work with ICU, burn unit, and cancer research. I barely see him and when I do see Darien he's either doing his own job or goes home. I have yet to see him going out with us as a staff for someone's birthday or holiday staff parties." Amy answered everyone's question. "I'm sorry Serena, I was just looking out for your best interest."
Serena got up from the ground and walking up to hug the bookworm. "It's okay Am and thank you for looking out for the both of us." She replied with a smile.
"If Rini asked about her father then you have to tell her since she's been asking about him when she got picked on in third grade for not having a father around." Lita said being serious as she grabbed five plates from the cabinets and starts portioning out the food.
"Lita has a point there Rena. You have to tell her." Mina agreeing with the cook.
"You're right and I'll tell her, baby steps. My father will have is gun lock and loaded when he finds out about it. I just want to do the right thing and not to give her hopes that Darien and I will get back together again. Mini knows that I love Seiya. He treats her like she's his own and they get a long great." Serena said as walked back to her seating between Mina and Raye.
"Have you told Seiya about Darien?" Raye asked wanting to know as she turns her head to face her best friend.
"I did about two years in our relationship when he asked whose Serenity's father is. I told him and he's treated me like a queen since then including treating Rini like a princess." Serena replied to the minister's question.
"Alright, dinner's ready. Come up and get your plate." Lita yelled a little putting the last of the fried rice on the plates.
Everyone got up and walked over to the kitchen.
"Mina, the day you get a restaurant; I'll be pigging out!" Serena complimented her brunette best friend cooking.
"You'll be the first Rena." The brunette woman said with a small laugh. "Grab whatever you want to drink from the fridge."
"Thank you Lita." Everyone said with a smile nodding their heads.
