Andrew looked at Serena curiously, "They why are you crying if you're not upset about being pregnant?"

Tears began to gather in her eyes again. She walked into the living room with Andrew following her. She picked up a calendar and showed him it, "I did the math to find out the conception date of my baby and..." she paused sobbing harder, "its Darien's."

Serena stopped her tale there waiting for a reaction from him about finding out that Lucas was his son, but he didn't move, he didn't stir, he didn't even blink for a short time. Then suddenly he stood up and walked out of the house and into the backyard. Serena followed him shortly after and found him massaging the bridge of his nose.

"Darien?"

"Fuck, Serena how could you not tell me?"

"I had my reasons."

"Screw your reasons, you had no right to keep this to yourself, because of you he grew up without a father," Darien yelled at her.

"I was going to tell you, " she yelled exasperatedly, "I was, but then Molly told me that she often saw you and each time with a new woman on your arm. Everything Alison and your mother told me came back. I thought that even if I told you, you wouldn't want your bastard child or his whore of a mother. So I saved myself some heartache and didn't tell you."

Darien remembered that period of his life, that bleak time, "That's not true, I was only with those women to get over the pain of you leaving. They could distract me for a little bit, but could never keep you out of my mind for long. If you had come to me back then I would have accepted Lucas and you with open arms and would never have let you go again. You're not a whore and never call yourself one ever again. I love you and I love Lucas. Nothing will ever change that."

Serena smiled up at him and wiped a few tears away that were caused by his words, "Lucas didn't grow up entirely without a father," she told him softly.

"Andrew?" he guessed.

She nodded, "He helped me out a lot through my pregnancy. We began dating during the sixth month I was pregnant with Lucas. We moved in together a couple of weeks before Lucas was due so he could help me take care of him, together we raised Lucas. I was happy with Andrew and Lucas, out little family. On Lucas' third birthday Andrew proposed and I accepted, but it wasn't meant to be."

"What happened?" Darien asked softly.

"A few weeks after Andrew proposed, he had to stay late at work and when he was driving home and he was hit by a drunk driver, he died on impact." (A/N: Don't drink and Drive!)

Darien pulled me close, "I'm sorry."

Serena enjoyed the strength and comfort of being back in Darien's arms, but she wanted him to know everything so continued her story.

"It was a couple of days after Andrew proposed that I told him about Beryl. He reacted pretty much the same way you did, only then she was alive. Within the next couple of days he seemed to have calmed down, but then…"

(Flashback)

"Hey Serena, honey, I have to leave tomorrow for a few days for a business trip."

"Okay, where are you going?"

"Uh, Toronto."

Andrew was gone for three days. Serena was worried because he never called her once, but reassured herself that he was probably just really busy. On the fourth day since Andrew left, he returned. Serena had been staying up late that night catching up on some reading when she heard the door open. She was surprised to see Andrew in this state. He had bags underneath his eyes like he hadn't slept since he left. Scratches were along his arms and one was on his cheek. He was dirty like he had just gone dirt biking in the rain.

"What happened?" Serena demanded as she began to inspect him for any serious wounds.

"I got into a fight."

Serena sighed and shook her head at her fiancé, "Go take a shower, then go to sleep, you look dead on your feet."

He nodded then walked away. As Serena watched him go she shivered at the dark feeling that creeped upon her. She didn't believe Andrew had simply gotten into a fight. She had a feeling it was a lot worse, but for now decided to ignore it and go to bed. When Andrew joined her and pulled her into his arms, he whispered, "You don't ever have to worry about Beryl, I'll protect you. I'll always protect you." He kissed her forehead and pulled her closer, if that was even possible.

His words both warmed and chilled Serena. She felt warmth because he was her protector and cold because she had deduced why he came home like that. He had lied about the trip and left to find Beryl and kill her, all in the name of protecting her.

Okay so let me begin by discussing Andrew. One: I figure I'm going to get a few flames about killing off Andrew. Okay, that's fine, rage all you want. Second: I will probably also get a few flames about making him a killer, same as above, let rage reign. Third: I've always felt that Andrew and Serena would make such a cute couple so I just had to add them in here, even if they aren't ultimately meant to be as Darien and Serena are.

Next let me discuss Darien. One: sorry about making him angry. Of the few reviews that I got, most believed that he would be understanding and caring for the most part, but I always pictured him as the type to get angry, especially since he is responsible for the child as his father. Also that he would be angered by getting gyped of that responsibility, just because of the man he is. Two: he truly does love Lucas, though you haven't seen much of it, he cares for the child deeply.

Okay so if there's anything I have forgotten feel free to review and ask, rage, or tell me about it. : )

Also I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed and added me to story alerts and made me a favorite and all that. I love opening my e-mail account to a box full of fanfiction e-mails.

And last but not least, answering reviews

Piggywiggy7: I'm glad that my cliffhangers keep you entertained, as you can see, sadly this chapter didn't end in a cliffhanger, that makes me sad, but I felt bad for leaven ya'll hangin so much, so this chapter was to make up for it. Also you won't be left hangin too much longer, this story is coming to a close.

Piper Chris Melinda Halliwell: You were right, he does have feelings for his son and I'm so glad that you have been paying attention to remember these little details between Lucas and Darien. So..do you think Darien took the news of his son well, or was he too harsh? Please let me know!

xSapphirexRosesxFanx: first of all what does kawaii mean? Don't worry Darien doesn't blame her for anything but leaving, when obviously she should have stayed, I mean if she had, there were so many things she could have avoided. Even if she wouldn't have ever fallen in love with Andrew. Which is one of the best things that happened to her, of course she also wouldn't have had to deal with his death, who knows if they hadn't been together would he have been on that specific road that lead to his untimely death? Would she have ever been friends with Mina or Raye? In fact, now that I think about it leaving Darien for that time was good for her, it allowed so many good things to happen….

Omg listen to me ramble, well gotta go, I'm tired, till the next chapter! : )
