Chapter Nine
"Don't try and change the subject Amara what were you two talking about?" Darien said to them looking them both over as they looked at one another. "Don't tell me nothing I'm smarter than that I saw you two rather chummy at the battle seen and just now and I know it has to do with Serena so spill." Darien said demanding. "Now Amara!" He said insisting to know.
"Well Darien the two of us saw Serena yesterday morning out when she was suppose to be at home sick." Amara stopped not want to continue.
"We both saw her buy something unusual." Brian spoke.
"And what was this unusual thing?" Darien asked very intrigued.
"We saw her by a pregnancy test." Amara finished watching Darien's eyes widen as he heard this then he turned and looked towards the door that lead into his apartment then hung his head knowing that's why she was in such pain.
Brian walked over to Darien and put a hand in his shoulder.
"I haven't told my brother about it and I think its best if her never knows." Brain said as Darien lifted his head to his.
"So you're positive that it's your brothers then how do you even know the test was positive." Darien said glaring at the both of them with cold eyes Amara had never seen.
"Darien she was with Brendan unless you and she were together after that." Amara spoke to him his eyes not wavering there look which did not give his answer away.
"I think that, that is none of your concern nor is it any of your business." Darien said turning away and walking through the door that lead to his place.
"Well that went well don't you think?" Brain said sarcastically as the door was slammed.
Amara gave him a look then decided to follow.
Darien entered his room where Serena was still resting and right there was Brendan which made his blood boil at the sight of him.
"Darien I'm glad you're here." Brendan spoke knowing it was Darien that had entered the room.
("Why is he glad that he was there it was he that has been trying to steel Serena away from me?") Darien thought to himself. "What's wrong?" Darien asked watching Brendan's eyes looking straight into his.
"While you were gone it was weird but I felt another life force with in Serena but I'm not for sure I'm glad you're here because only you have the power to stabilize it that is if I'm right. Darien is Serena…" Brendan stopped speaking with his head hung.
"Yes Brendan she is." Darien said watching Brendan's eye and head lift to meet his own.
"So you say that it's me and me alone that can save this life." Darien said walking over to Serena's side."
"Yes you have done it once before remember." Brendan said to him Darien knowing what he was referring to he had done the same thing with Rennie once before but would he do it know to save a child that most likely wasn't his.
"I know what you're thinking Darien and we don't know if this child is mine or yours but I can't believe that you could not be this cruel to even think about not saving this child. What would Serena think of you if you let the child die knowing you could have done something to save it. You know Serena did all that she could to protect us and this child from harm she used more power from the crystal than she has ever used before to protest it. You and I both saw her struggle." Brendan finished.
Darien took Serena's hand holding it tight and it started to glow. "How could you think that I would let and innocent life die regardless of how I feel about you or this situation?"
Darien said looking up at him making a point. "I feel your concern Brendan you know that Rennie is my daughter from the future I know what its like to hold her life in my hands not knowing whether or not she would be alright till I know for sure that this child is not mine I will feel the same about it." Dairen said to him looking back down at Serena.
"So is this your way of saying that for now you and I will try and get along. Look Darien I have backed off I stopped calling her I got the hint she loves you and I need to move on with my life just as Stella told me to. Either way this turns out I won't try and come between you two I swear." Brendan said holding out his hand Darien graciously took it calling a truce. They had had enough fighting they didn't need fighting amongst themselves.
For two days straight Darien stayed by Serena's side along with Brendan the others came bye every day to see how she was doing while Rennie made up some story to Serena's parents on why she was staying with Darien.
On the third day Serena finally woke up she winced in pain when opening her eyes.
"What happened?" She asked looking around.
"Serena your awake how do you feel?" Amy asked her.
"I feel drained how about you?" Serena said with a smile.
"Don't you remember the battle Serena?" Lita asked her.
"Yes I remember. Amy I have to talk to you." Serena said almost in a panic.
"Serena we all know your condition if that's what you wanted to talk about and no you didn't loose the baby." Amy said with a smile seeing the relief come over Serena.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Lita asked.
"I just found out earlier that day and I didn't know how to tell you then when you called for help I could refuse you needed me." She said to her friends.
"But not only did you put your self at risk you risked your child's life to." Amy said to her. "You almost lost it if Darien had not stepped in and used his life force to sustain it and you. Both of you could have died you used way too much power this time around Serena." Amy said to Serena.
"Hey Amy, Lita can I ask you a question and I want your honest answer." Serena said gaining there full attention they nodded there heads giving her the okay to continue.
"What would you think if I let Rennie take up more of a role in our fight?" Serena asked them.
"Serena what do you mean you can't give up being sailor moon." Lita said in defense.
"Listen to me Lita it's just that soon I won't be able to fight and I could for the time transfer my powers and abilities to Rennie I would never give it up." Serena said looking for some kind of sign that she was right in this.
"Serena's right Lita soon Serena won't be able to fight and what if another enemy arises what would we do?" Amy said to Lita.
It was then Darien made an entrance into the room the girls took there leave thinking about what there leader had discussed with them when the door was closed Darien sat down on the bed and took her hand.
"How are you doing Serena?" He said not wanting to look in her eyes at the moment.
"Darien thank you." Serena said bringing his eyes to hers.
"Serena who's the father me or Brendan?" Darien asked which this question floored Serena and she didn't want to answer him she thought that he would know that it wasn't him.
"Darien…" she stopped her stalling told him everything he needed to know. "I'm sorry but you're not the father." Serena said tears steamed down her face she wanted it to be him she wanted more than anything.
"It's alright Serena don't cry not now this isn't good for you or the child your carrying." He told her as he lifted her chin and looked at her face he took his hand and wiped her tears away then kissed her lips.
"Serena I love you and this changes nothing about the way I feel about you" Darien spoke taking her into his arms and holding her close.
"Darien…" She said holding him close to her as well.
