"S-son?" Ken stuttered. "You know he reminds me of you." Darien whispered in Serena's ear. "Uhhh. Ken didn't I tell you about James?" Ilene turned sheepishly around. "You knew?" Ken said unbelievably. "Yes and no." Mother?" Serena said astonished. "Okay so yes I knew." Her mother eyed Serena. "Well. You kids must be tired. Your rooms are upstairs." Ilene ushered Serena and Darien up the stairs and left Ken sitting on the couch. "You move, and there will be no desert or bed to sleep in for you tonight." Ilene said in a very dangerous tone. After a few minutes, Ilene came back downstairs.

"Ken! How could you act so rude like that?" Ilene asked in a harsh tone.

"He has a son, Ilene! A son!" Ken pointed to the room that Darien was unpacking in.

"You think I don't care. I do. But, he's more responsible. And when Serena called me about him, he sounded like a dream. Perfect gentleman." Ilene sat down.

"But, he's already done it. He knows. How do you know he hasn't tried it with Serena?" Ken said as fiercly back.

"He already has one son. I don't think he's gonna try for two. Plus. When Serena called me, they had gotten into a fight. He didn't say he loved her. He didn't tell her they would be together forever. He didn't shove all that fairy tale stuff into her face. And then he apologized for it, but still wouldn't say it. So I think he knows about the real world."

Ken looked at his folded up hands. "I don't want her growing up too fast though."

Ilene sighed. "She's growing up no matter what you do or say. The only thing we can do is guide her in the right direction."

"What about this Darien? He's not that smart if he's got a son." Ken said, firing up again.

"Darien is a lot more mature than other people his age. Did you know that he noticed his parents were getting tired of James so he got a job and moved out. He pays for day care and clothes and food." Ilene counted off her fingers.

Ken looked up in surprise. "You mean he's not living off his parents?"

Ilene shook her head. "He even sends them money for the months that they payed for food and diapers for James."

Ken slowly exhaled. "Whats your call ref?"

"I think we'll give him a chance. Serena wouldn't have said yes to a date if she didn't think he was worth her time." Ilene rubbed her husbands folded hands. "Give him a chance Ken, maybe you'll end up liking him."

Ken laughed. "Maybe..."

Later that night they all sat down for supper. "Mmm...smells good Mrs. James." Darien said as he pulled out the chair for Serena. "Thank you Darien. I hope you enjoy it." After they got started eating there was a silence, except for James who was banging a spoon against his highchair tray. Under the table Ilene kicked Ken in the leg. "Um..So Darien do play any sports?" Darien looked up from his Spaghetti. "I play tight end for our schools football team and I made the basketball team this year." Ken raised his eyebrows. "Whats your schools mascot again?" Serena shook her head. After four months of me going to this school, he still doesn't know its mascot. She thought. "Its the Colts sir." "Really? Funny, Serena's old school was the Stallions." And she knew he had to throw that in somewhere. Ilene kicked her husband again. "So how old is James?" Ilene changed the conversation. "He's two years old. Just turned it actually. December eleventh." James laughed at this. Ken couldn't help but smile at the little boy. He was just too darn adorable.

"So what do you guys plan to get him?" Ilene asked. "Well Serena found some toy trucks and some action figures. But other than that. We have no idea. We were thinking about going to the mall in a couple of days."Darien picked at a meatball. "Yeah, we were gonna go get your presents too." Serena butted in. "Darien has a great idea for dads gift." Serena elbowed Darien. "Yeah great gift." Darien massaged his side.

Ken made sure that night that Serena and Darien went to their seperate rooms before going to bed. He was planning on having a talk with that boy. As he entered his bedroom Ilene spoke to him. "Ken you're not going to talk to Darien. He is already scared of you enough."

The next day they decided to go to the mall. Serena made her parents promise not to follow them on account of the secrecy of their gifts. "So what did you want to get my mom?" Serena said as she pushed James walker. "Well, I noticed her collection of snowmen. So how about a couple of rare figurines and a necklace." Darien suggested. Serena laughed. "Thats exactly what I was thinking...Kinda." Darien shook his head. "You're too funny." They walked into a toy store. "Do you think we should be buying his gifts infront of him." Serena said as she was playing with James. Darien picked up a coloring book. "I doubt he rememebers what he had last night, much less than what happened two weeks ago." Serena shrugged "You never know. "

As lunch time rolled around Serena and Darien sat laughing together. "Your mean. She did not run to the perfume department so she could fart." Darien laughed too. "I swear, I think she seriously did." Serena handed a fry to James and looked down at the fountain below. She had a flash back.

A group of people sat at a table by the fountain. They were all laughing and wearing designer clothes. Most of the girls had make-up piled on their face.

"Tay. You're too funny!" Laughed a girl with brown hair.

"Well I don't think I should be proud of being able to copy Serena so much. But hey someone's gotta show her what she's really like." The girl Taylor shrugged.

A guy spoke up. "You know. I got an idea about the dance. If Serena goes we should put something in her drink. And then..." His voice faded out.

Serena closed her eyes. She never did go to that dance. It was the first dance of the year too. She was really looking forward to it. But then she heard that.

"Hey Taylor! Wait up chick. So how did it go last night?"

"Aight. He wasn't the best, but he was pretty good." The girl flipped her light blonde hair.

Serena's eyes shot open. "That wasn't a memory." She murmered. Darien looked up. "What wasn't a memory?" Serena shook her head. "Oh nothing. Just thinking about some times in this mall. Was that a memory? She thought. She looked down towards the fountain.

A blonde girl sat there with three other people. Joshua and Maxwell. And Jennifer. "Shit." Darien looked up. "If my sons first word is shit I'm blaming all on you." Serena shook her head. "Sorry. But I see some people I don't wanna see." Serena stood up. "Woah. Baby where ya going?" "Where do you think? The car." Darien saw Serena turn around and start walking. "Um.. that would be a brillant plan if the car was parked on that side of the mall. But the car is on that side." Darien pointed past the fountain to another exit. "And why is it over there?" Serena glared at him. "Cuz you told me to park over there." Darien playfully glared back like a little boy. Then he stuck his tongue out. "Its your own fault." "Alright. We can come back another day. Lets just try to act normal and walk down there like regular people." Darien's mouth fell open. "We could do that or we could just run around screaming. THEY'RE HERE." This made Serena laugh. "And besides. We're are not freaking out. You are. Me and James are perfectly happy sitting here eating our ninety nine cent hamburger and fries." Darien sat down and gave Serena the same look as James was giving her. "Oh god. I hate when you guys team up on me like that." Darien smiled. "Its a father son thing." Serena sat down hastily. She turned around while taking a bite of a fry. They weren't there! Serena's mouth fell open. "Where'd they go?!" Her fry fell out of her mouth. "Uhh...As much as the mall likes you popping fries in your mouth from the local Mc Donalds. I don't think they would approve of you dropping it in their local fountain." Darien said looking over the railing at the half chewed fry falling down the water fountain. "They're gone." "Who?" "The people that I didn't want to see me." "I take it that's bad." "Oh yeah! Like REALLY bad!" Serena picked up her tray and headed to the trashcan. On the way she had to jump some hurdles. She didn't make the last one.

She really thought she had made it to the trashcan safe and sound. But then she got knocked over by someone climbing up the stairs. As she got up she groaned, "Damn didn't see that one coming." As soon as the person who knocked her over, saw her face, he immediatly started appologizing. "I'm so sorry Miss. I didn't mean to." He helped her up. Serena was staring into Joshua Mitchells big Brown Eyes. Just as he was about to ask her to join him for lunch, Darien ran over. "Hun, are you okay?" He took Serena from Joshua's arms. Josh glared at the man. "Yeah. Just bumped into you know who." The other guy gave her a puzzled look. Darien raised his head to show he understood her. "Well I think James' needs a nap. Lets go Seren!" Serena was thankful. Then she caught his last part. Awe shit. Darien and his big fat mouth. "Seren? Is that your name?" Came a curious voice from behind her. "Actually its Serenity but hey you don't need to know that. Where's James?" Serena started to walk away when a hand grabbed her arm. Okay. She tried to get away. Now she's pissed. "Serena James?" Taylor's grip grew tighter. "Yeah. Why do you ask?" Taylro started laughing. "Josh. Josh. Josh. YOU! Just tried to hit on Serena James. Didn't you see her face before you started to flirt." Taylor broke into a fit of laughter. "You look at her face Tay." Josh said defensivly, though he was blushing. "Alright, turn around SERENITY." SErena turned around to show a beautiful face. Her cream colored skin was no longer pale or scared. Her blue eyes which had been hidden behind glasses glistened brightly. Her hair which was always in a bun cascaded down her tight long sleeve shirt. "Yeah?" Taylor stood there for a moment. "So you're trying to look like me." From out of nowhere Darien came a long. "Sere, you don't need this lets go." James started giggling in Dariens arms. "Blagaga Sewena?" Serena turned around. "Did he just say my name?" Darien looked down at James. "He did." They started jumping up and down. "Oh my god. He just said my name!! James say again honey!" Taylor and Joshua stood there confused. "Hello? Did you're completely ignoring me." Serena turned around. "What? Never been ignored." Taylor rolled her eyes. "Hello. You're like talking to royalty here." Ohhhhhhhhh. Darien had used this one on Serena before. Taylor just had to say the magic word. "Yeah. A royal pain in the ass." Serena started laughing with James again. "Well then who are you? And who is that ?" Taylor said pointing toward Darien and James....
