*******************
Getting Sammy
*******************
Before they left they had gotten their umbrellas and headed for Serena's house. The trooped along a long way without saying anything to each other, even Duo. Finally Serena couldn't take the silence anymore.
"So. what should we do when we get back?"
"I don't know. wait let's play house."
Everybody looked at Duo with their eyebrows raised. Duo looked back at them and help up his hands.
"No I think I have something here. I'll be the husband. Serena will be my beautiful wife. Trowa will be my jealous brother because he wants my wife. Wufei will be my boss who is also jealous. Quatre is Serena's long time friend who has a crush on her. Heero will be Serena's boss who wants her too. Oh and Sammy is our cute seven year old son. And in the end I win. Nobody ever gets Serena but me." Duo smiled as he looked around.
Quatre was blushing and Serena was scowling along with Heero. "What if I don't want to be married to you? What if I want to marry Quatre or Heero, or even Wufei? What then?"
Duo gulped. "It was just a suggestion." "Well it was a stupid suggestion." She grabbed the other pilot's hands and walked faster. "Act like you don't know him." She said. "Gladly. I don't think it will be hard. I do it all the time." Said Heero not looking back at Duo.
Duo realized they were leaving him. "Hey guys. Wait for me." "Walk faster." Said Serena and they all ran ahead. They slowed down a little while later and Duo caught up to them. "Hey guys. Miss me?"
Wufei was muttered something in Chinese under his breath. Serena's eyes widened. "Oh. you have such a dirty mouth Fei-chan." He turned to her. "You can speak Chinese?" he stepped closer to her as he spoke to her in Chinese. She answered back an affirmative. They walked off and chatted animatedly. Serena's arms wrapped around one of his.
The others just stared after them, shell-shocked. All of them were having different reactions. Duo was kind of upset, but he just shrugged it off. Quatre was speechless and Heero was stunned and almost hurt but he wasn't about to delve deeper into the feeling.
Finally they arrived at Serena's house up on a small hill. They all gazed up at it. It was a fairly big house, it was three stories high.
"Wow. This is where you live?" asked Duo. Serena didn't answer right away and they all looked at her.
Finally she answered. "Yeah. This is my house. It's to impersonal to be a home though." She said in a monotone voice. She headed up the steps, pulled out her key, and wandered inside. She turned back around when she noticed the others weren't following her. "You guys coming or what?"
Heero, Duo, Quatre, and Wufei all looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and walked in behind her.
"Serena!" yelled a seven-year-old as he ran down the stairs and straight at Serena. When he reached her she reached down and picked him up.
"Slow down tiger." She said to Sammy while she smiled at him.
Sammy looked almost like his sister. They had the same golden blond hair and their faces were the same. The only difference was that while Serena had sapphire blue eyes, Sammy had a kind of sea green eye color.
"I missed you Sere. You weren't here last night and mommy left early this morning before I woke up. I was so scared." He hugged his sister tightly.
"It's ok little guy. I'm here." She rubbed his back. "Where's all your toys and stuff Sammy? Oh, you also may need a couple changes of clothes."
"Well the toys are up stairs and I'll back some clothes." Sammy wiggled in Serena's arms so she set him down and he raced up the steps.
Serena turned back to the boys with her blue eyes flashing. "I can't believe Ilene would just up and leave Sammy here alone and without even telling him. She knows he doesn't like to be alone. But lately she doesn't even care about either of us. She just goes and does her own thing. I'm getting sick of her irresponsibility and I'm getting sick of her! What if one of these days something happens to Sammy? I almost lost him once, I'm not about to lose him again." And she started to cry into her hands.
Duo walked up to her and put his arms around her. "Shush. its ok. You guys can stay with us as long as you like." Serena put her arms around his neck. "I don't want to lose him. He's the only one I have."
Duo looked over the others over her shoulder. They were looking worried. He gave them a pleading look. He didn't know what to do. Quatre walked over and took Serena out of Duo's arms and walked a little ways away. He held her and tried to comfort her.
"You're the best Quatre." She whispered as she closed her eyes and cuddled against him.
Heero and Wufei looked over at them with a scowl on their faces. Just then Sammy flew down the stares with a bag in each hand. He looked over at his sister. "Is Sere ok?" he asked. "Yeah. She's ok buddy. Why don't we go? Asked Duo. He picked him up and put him on his shoulders.
Serena composed herself. "Ready to go tiger?" "Yeah!" She turned to Wufei. "Why don't you take Sammy's bags.slave." She smiles softly at him. Wufei didn't even have it in him to argue with her so he took Sammy's bags and walked out the door. The rest of them filed out of the house with Serena last. She looked back into the house and shook her head. She closed the door and locked it behind her.
*******************
Ahh well. That's the end. Looks as if she's getting closer to Wufei. Wow they can both speak Chinese. Another thing they have in common. More surprises to come. Any one have a guess as who she'll end up with? I have one person saying that it's Heero. Speak up and maybe your choice will actually be the one to end up with her. Anyway read my other stories like Under a Spell, Unexpected Love, Orphans Together, and A Different Love A Different Destiny. I warm you that most of them are S/D but one is a twist and she will not be with Darien.
Serena & Heero: 1 Serena & Quatre: 0 Serena & Wufei: 0 Serena & Duo: 0 Serena & Trowa: 0
