Father

"Serena look at this stroller! It's so cute!" Lita said as she took her sister's hand and dragged her to the rack of strollers. Mina and Raye giggled as they watched Serena go back and forth. They had a cart full of baby things. After being five months along Serena thought it was time to get the baby things together.

While the girls were shopping Shawn and Corey were busy taking the dinning room apart and turning it into the new baby room. The walls were painted green with baby ducks plastered on. They felt pretty content with the work they had done. The crib Serena had picked up on the other hand was giving them big problems. They had lost the directions and were trying to put it together from how it looks.

"No it goes here!" Shawn said as he and Corey go into another fight. They stopped when heard four giggling girls standing behind them. Slowly they untangled them selves, and stood. Serena ran over and tackled Corey.

"This looks great guys!" She moved over and hugged Shawn. " I love it. Thank you so much."

It took them all afternoon to get the baby room set up. The girls helped put the crib together. While Serena made grilled cheese sandwiches They had moved the table into the living room And together they sat and eat while looking at their work. Serena beamed with happiness as she sat with people closest to her. They were silent for a while, but soon Mina slammed her glass down and looked at Serena.

"Sere, I love you, but I have to know. Is there any chance that W.R is not the father? I'm sorry, but in my world that would be great if Darien wasn't the father. W.R might want to take care of the baby." She looked over to Shawn and Corey. "Though I know you two are going to make wonderful dads."

Her eyes glassed over a moment.

"I am sure."

"How can you be sure. Do you want it to be Darien's baby so bad?" She smiled and shook her head.

"You look so familiar to me. I just can't place my finger on it."

"Well you said you lived here your whole life. Maybe I saw you at Wally World or something."

"No. I feel so connected to you." Serena sighed as she sat back on the couch. "Lets see, you're 27, like me. Did we go to the same high school?" He let out a laugh.

"I don't know. I went to GM." Her eyes went wide, then side to side. She suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged.

"Billy!" He patted the top of her head.

"I haven't heard that nick name in years."

"I haven't seen you in 10 years."

"Yah after we graduated I got the hell out of dodge." She smiled.

"I can't believe it's you!" She hugged him again.

"Billy, or W.R, and I dated back in high school."

"Billy was so funny. He made our bus rides fun." Corey said as he opened another beer.

"Billy was my dream guy. The one guy that drove me totally insane, yah know, in that good way. We had so much in common. One of the things that we had in common was that we both wanted a family, a large family. While we were dating Billy and his brother in law went hunting and there was accident. Justin shot the buck, and the buck ran into Billy. So I know for a fact that he can't have any kids." Serena sighed.

"Serena sat by his side every day while he was in the hospital."

"Serena I'm sorry." Mina said as she put her head on her shoulder. Mina knew what Serena went through.

"The surgery went fine miss. We were able to fix everything."

Serena let out a sigh as the nurse left her alone in the room with her sleeping boyfriend. She shivered lightly as she remembered how she was in the same spot 8 years ago with Billy. And now she was worried about Seiya. She put her hands to her face and cried silently.

"It's okay. It was great seeing Billy again. He's called here and there but because of work and him traveling so much it's hard for him to stop by. He should be back in town though. He is going to take me to dinner."

"Like a date?" Shawn asked as he nudged her. Serena shook her head.

"Well I guess the only question is who left that note on the door. I doubt it was Darien. Maybe it was this Billy guy." Mina said while putting her finger to her cheek.

"Note what note?" Lita said as she and Raye started to clean off the table.

"Well. Mina and I came home that night from the club to find a note on the door. But it's been five months I don't think anything else is going to happen. I think they just put the note on the wrong door."

"What did it say?"

"Laying beneath the stars. Naked in our own creation. Nothing can being us closer together, then inspiration. Remember the camera." Serena blushed. She knew exactly who the note was from.
