Man, I really don't want to make Darien turn into a bad guy, but what am I
supposed to do? ::sighs:: So many problems!!
No Turning Back~
After hearing what Darien just said, Lita sat there quietly thinking back
at all the things she wished had not happened. Honestly, Lita missed Serena
terribly on the inside, but had no idea of how to apologize to her for how she
had mistreated her two years ago.
"You know what Darien, with the way you are acting now, there is no way in
hell that Serena will give you another chance," replied Lita, getting up and
walking towards the door. "I highly doubt you were even half the guy she fell
in love with so many years ago," she added, walking out and leaving him and Raye
in total silence.
"Am I really that terrible to want the woman I love back Raye?" asked
Darien, looking at her questioningly. Over the past two years, Darien has
become more withdrawn from the human world, but it was only because Serena was
not there to make it shine like before.
"Who knows what Lita meant, I for one don't care," replied Raye, leaving
the fire room and Darien alone.
"Fine, I'll prove to Serena that I am still worthy of her love and that
she and I belong together!" thought Darien, looking out the door with more
determination in his eyes than ever before. "Serena and I were engaged in the
Silver Millennium a thousand years ago, she has even died for me! Our love has
to still mean something to her," he said while leaving the temple.
~Back at the Hotel~
"Hey Mina? Are you and Sera going to meet up Amy anytime soon?" asked
Jeff, quietly shutting the door behind him. Sera had finally fallen asleep,
after he had sung to her a few times and begged her to try and get some rest.
"Yeah! I'll call her up when I go home," answered Mina, smiling at a very
tired Jeff. "Hey, why don't you go back in there and go to sleep silly, you've
had a long day," suggested Mina as she pushed Jeff towards his room.
"I would love to be asleep beside my wife, but I have to talk to the guys
about that Darien guy, he doesn't make me feel very safe," replied Jeff as he
looked back towards the room. "I'm not sure if Sera is even safe around him, he
seems very determined to get her back," he whispered the last part quietly.
"You know that Serenity loves you very dearly Solaris, she would never let
herself fall for his meaningless promises again," said Mina, looking at Jeff.
"I know she loves me, but I don't want her or our baby getting hurt in the
process of making Darien see that she and I love each other," responded Jeff,
thinking about his and Sera's unborn child.
"We'll do everything we can to make sure you see your child enter this
world," said Nick as he and the guys all gathered around Jeff. "That's what
friends for Sol," he added, placing a hand on Jeff's shoulder for reassurance.
The other guys all nodded their heads in agreement.
"We've been through so much as the four Imperial Knights in this universe,
so what's a wake-up compared to all the battles we've gone through together?"
said Drew, smiling at Jeff.
"You guys are the best, I'm not sure what or where I would be without you
guys," admitted Jeff quietly as he smiled back at his friends.
"And what about me?" interrupted Sera suddenly, leaning against her
bedroom door with her arms crossed, looking at Jeff curiously. She tilted her
head over and a smile spread across her face as she waited for his answer.
"I wouldn't be alive without you," answered Jeff, taking her into his arms
and kissing her.
"That's more like it," replied Sera as everyone including herself broke
out into laughter. "Anyway, I think tomorrow Mina and the girls will escort me
to the arcade to meet up with Amy and Lita," she added quietly.
"What? Already?" asked a surprised Jeff, looking down at Sera.
"Yeah, I just called them," answered Sera shyly. "Sorry, couldn't wait, I
just miss them so," she admitted.
"I understand," whispered Jeff, wrapping his arms around her tighter.
~At the Arcade~
"I wonder what Serena wanted," asked Amy, sipping her coke. Lita shrugged
as she drank her hot tea.
"I don't know, but I know I'm going to do all I can to win her friendship
back," said Lita silently, as she swiveled the cup of tea around in her hands.
Amy nodded, agreeing to Lita's plan.
"Hey girls!" called out an excited Mina as she sat down beside Lita,
smiling at them. Soon afterwards, five other girls entered the arcade and
looked around. "Lena! Over here!" shouted Mina, waving a hand toward the
girls. The girls all headed over toward their booth and took a seat at a nearby
table.
"Sera said she'll be a little late," Lena told them as she and the other
girls took a seat. "Anyway, I'm Lena, nice to meet you," she said, extending a
hand out to greet Lita and Amy. As soon as she shook hands with the two,
memories of her awoke in Amy and Lita's minds.
"It's nice to see you again too Selena," said Amy, smiling at her. Lita
did as well, getting up to hug Lena.
"I was about to think you two had forgotten me by now," laughed Lena as
she and the girls all smiled at Amy and Lita.
Fifteen minutes later, Sera arrived at the arcade with Jeff in her arms.
"Sorry I'm late! My doctor's appointment got held over a little, but the baby
is doing well!" she replied, sitting down on Jeff's lap.
"So, has the doctor given you a clue of what the baby will be yet?" asked
Lena anxious to find out. She was extremely excited to hear that she is going
to be an aunt, and will be able to buy cute outfits and toys for it, whatever it
turned out to be.
"Not really, give me about three more weeks, it's only my first week into
my fourth month you know!" giggled Sera happily.
"Yeah, but you're getting heavy fast!" laughed Jeff as he wrapped his arms
around her stomach and hugged her.
"Well excuse me! It's not my fault your child is so huge!" pouted Sera as
she tried to get out of Jeff's firm hold on her. "You're so mean sometimes!"
she mumbled, turning away with a frown.
"Oh c'mon honey, I was just joking. I'll love you no matter how big you
get!" replied Jeff trying to apologize, only getting a smack on the head for
saying what he just did.
"Now you think I'm fat!" cried Sera as she got up from the booth and
walked away with tears in her eyes. "I hate being pregnant, nobody thinks I'm
even pretty anymore. I feel like such a blimp!" she mumbled angrily as she sat
down near the counter.
"Great Jeff, look what you just did. As if being pregnant were not enough
stress on her as it is, you just had to tease her about how big she was
getting!" said Lena, shaking her head at her brother. "Sometimes I honestly do
think you lost some brain cells when those guys kidnapped you back then," she
added, laughing as he walked over to Sera sheepishly.
"I'm sorry baby," whispered Jeff, sitting down beside and wrapping an arm
around her shoulder. "I'm just kidding, I know the baby is a lot of stress on
you. You're not happy because you think you're losing your figure, but you'll
always be beautiful in my eyes. Not only because I love you, but having our
baby inside you has given you such a lovely glow," replied Jeff as Sera looked
up at him sadly. He took her in his arms and held her close to him, placing a
light kiss on her forehead.
"I know, I just get so emotional sometimes," answered Sera.
"It's okay, I'll try not to joke around anymore," replied Jeff.
"Okay, Kodak moment over you two! Lets go shopping for some baby
necessities!" shouted Lena excitedly. Jeff and Sera laughed and nodded as
everyone waved bye to Andrew and took off to find things Jeff and Sera would
need sometime in the near future.
"Oh hey look! That is the cutest thing ever!" cried out Mina, running
over to pick up a tiny bassinet decorated with ribbons in every pastel color.
"Aw, how cute. It's even got an adorable little blanket inside!" she said,
showing Sera the white satin blanket with alphabet blocks along the edges.
"Hey, maybe we should get that honey!" replied Sera, pulling Jeff over to
look at it more closely. Lita and Amy were both getting baby books and other
things the baby will need, such as: bottles, pacifiers, bibs, and even those
tiny little feeding spoons!
"Hey Sera! Come look at this!" called out Lena from the Crib aisle.
"You've got to take a look at this crib, it's awesome!" she said, smiling as she
stared at the crib in awe.
"Oh how cute!" cried Sera, as the turned into the aisle and saw the crib.
It had a mobile overhead with fabricated ornaments: a crystal-like Sun in the
center, a star and a moon on each side of the Sun, and four planets separating
each side of the moon and star. "I want this for sure!" cried Sera, smiling as
she pointed at the mobile.
"Honey, you do realize the baby isn't due until we get back to the U.S.
right?" asked Jeff, laughing at Sera's behavior. It was like a child visiting
the toy store for the first time ever!
"Oh about that, I sort of want to have the baby here, so mom can show me
the proper way to care for a newborn," replied Sera, quietly.
"Oh that will be great, she can give me a few pointers too!" said Jeff,
laughing as Sera beamed a smile at him and hugged him tightly.
"Okay, so then we can go ahead and get the crib too then?" thought Sera,
looking at Jeff with pleading eyes. He nodded and she raced off to look for
other items for the baby.
After what seemed like eternity to Jeff, the girls finally decided they
had enough shopping for one day and they all headed back to the hotel with a
truck load of baby things! Jeff shook his head as he entered his bedroom,
followed by nine incredibly hyper women. "Talk about tiring, next time leave me
at the hotel honey," whined Jeff, laying down to get some rest while they
unpacked.
"Whoa! What's with all the boxes?" asked Drew, stepping over some bags
and walking straight into a huge box. "Damn, what is all this junk?" he
grumbled, rubbing his head gently.
"That's not junk, it's all for the baby!" yelled Lena from inside Jeff's
room. "Oh yeah, Sera said she'll kill you if she hears any more rubbish coming
from your mouth about the boxes being crap!" shouted Lena, laughing along with
the other girls.
"Hey honey! Come help us move these things into another room then!"
yelled Nick as he started moving things out of the doorway. Lena came flying
out of Jeff's room and into Nick's arms as soon as she heard his voice. "Wow,
I'm delighted to see you too sweetheart," responded Nick, smiling at her.
"Okay everyone, lets come help the tired singers move these huge boxes of
whatever that's inside!" shouted Justin as he set a few boxes by sofa.
"Um guys, we have to talk," said Jeff, walking out of his room, looking
like he just got run over. The three guys gave him an odd look and all sat down
to listen to what Jeff had to say. "Well, Sera and I are going to be staying
here to learn how to be good parents for the baby from her mother, so I'm not
sure what we're going to do after the baby is born," said Jeff silently.
"That's cool, I sort of like it here anyway. Besides, we do need a
break," thought Justin, leaning back into the sofa. Drew just shrugged while
Nick look sort of shocked.
"Wow, this coming from Mr. We Need To Practice!" said Nick as everyone
started laughing.
"Yeah, I know. I'm trying to fix that problem!" admitted Jeff.
"So, I guess I get the honor of calling Mike and letting him know?" asked
Justin, looking over at Jeff. "Alright, I finally get to tell him to bug off!"
cried Justin after Jeff nodded his head.
A week later a press conference was held and 98 Degrees announced that
they were putting their International Tour on hold for a few months because Jeff
was expecting a new addition to his family. Soon afterward, Sera and Jeff found
a nice cozy condominium for themselves and the rest of the group found a
penthouse with enough room for all eight of them.
~Two Weeks Later~
"Honey, have you decided what color to paint the nursery yet?" asked Jeff
as he finished moving all of their things into their bedroom.
"I don't know yet. I'm going to the doctor's today, I think she said
something about a ultrasound," replied Sera as she finished putting away some
things in the kitchen. As soon as she closed the drawer, Jeff had picked her up
and carried her into their room.
"It's about time," whispered Jeff as he set Sera down on the bed and
leaned and kissed her passionately. "I've sort of missed being able to hold you
really close to me," he added in a husky voice, sending tingles down Sera's
stomach. "I'm not sure if I like being kept away from my wife's body for such
long periods of time," said Jeff, smiling as he gazed into her eyes.
"Sorry, but you don't want to hurt the baby," replied Sera, giggling as he
pouted at her. "Let's go to the doctor's office and find out what I have in
here shall we?" she asked, leaning up a little to kiss him softly.
At the doctor's, Sera had to run through a few check-ups to make sure her
health was stable as well as the baby's. "You're doing great, and you don't
even look like you're in your fifth month!" said the gynecologist, laughing as
Sera pouted saying she was fat. She applied a little gel on Sera's stomach and
rubbed the transducer onto her round tummy.
"That's cold!" cried Sera quietly, jumping slightly as the doctor rubbed
the transducer back and forth over her stomach, trying to pick up an image of
the baby.
"Sorry, it'll be warm in a little, but hold still while I try to get a
clear image," said the doctor, stopping her hand and turning the monitor towards
Sera and Jeff to see. "Okay, everything looks normal here. That's the arms,
and those are the two legs," she pointed out smiling as Jeff gawked at the
screen, amazed at what he saw.
"You know, it's different when we learn about babies, but seeing it is
still unbelievable," responded Jeff quietly, smiling as he kissed Sera's hand.
"So is it a boy or a girl doc?" asked Sera impatiently, still staring at
the screen to see if she saw any other signs of gender for the baby.
"It's a boy Mrs. Timmons. See that right there, well that's the fetus's
genital," said the Gyno frankly. Sera was taken back at the doctor said that so
calmly and Jeff just laughed. Soon the visit was over and the Gyno was giving
Sera a couple vitamin pills to take and some advice for the next month.
"Thanks Doctor, I'll see you next month, if I can still walk that is,"
laughed Sera as she left the clinic with a smile on her face.
"Wow, a boy. I guess that means I should get started painting today
then!" said Jeff all juiced up with energy now. He was excited that he'd get to
see his little boy a few months.
"Honey, don't get too worked up about this. I'll help you paint so you
don't get too tired," replied Sera as he helped her into her seat.
"No, you can't be breathing in any of the paint fumes, it's bad for the
baby!" said Jeff sternly.
"Um okay, then I'll call the guys and ask them to help you," suggested
Sera, reaching for his cell.
"No, I want to do this myself honey. My first real task as a father, you
know," he told her, placing a hand on her stomach.
"Okay," responded Sera, smiling back at him. "What will we name him
then?" she thought, remembering that they never discussed names.
"Don't know, maybe we should ask your parents and mine for some advice,"
said Jeff, shrugging at Sera. "Never thought this far yet," he laughed.
"What about Ryan?" thought Sera, looking over at Jeff questioningly.
"We'll think about this after we get home and I finish painting the
nursery okay sweetheart?" suggested Jeff as he continued driving.
That's all for now guys! Sorry it took so long, I messed up my formats!
Anyway, I won't be writing the next chapter for a while because of final exams
and all for the next week or so. By the time this chapter gets uploaded I'll
probably be done with finals!
supposed to do? ::sighs:: So many problems!!

"No, you can't be breathing in any of the paint fumes, it's bad for the
baby!" said Jeff sternly.
"Um okay, then I'll call the guys and ask them to help you," suggested
Sera, reaching for his cell.
"No, I want to do this myself honey. My first real task as a father, you
know," he told her, placing a hand on her stomach.
"Okay," responded Sera, smiling back at him. "What will we name him
then?" she thought, remembering that they never discussed names.
"Don't know, maybe we should ask your parents and mine for some advice,"
said Jeff, shrugging at Sera. "Never thought this far yet," he laughed.
"What about Ryan?" thought Sera, looking over at Jeff questioningly.
"We'll think about this after we get home and I finish painting the
nursery okay sweetheart?" suggested Jeff as he continued driving.
That's all for now guys! Sorry it took so long, I messed up my formats!
Anyway, I won't be writing the next chapter for a while because of final exams
and all for the next week or so. By the time this chapter gets uploaded I'll
probably be done with finals!
