Chapter 25.

Three Dad's and a Little Rini.

Darien came out of Setsuna's apartment still kissing her. As the two finally released each other they smiled and said goodbye for now. Darien had a sly smile as he kissed her hand.

"I'll see you tonight," said Darien with grin.

"I'll be waiting," said Setsuna as she slowly closed the door.

Darien entered his apartment with a big smile on his face. Serena was the first one to see him.

"Good morning," said Serena. "Seems like the guys in this apartment are getting lucky."

"What?" asked Darien who was brought out his thoughts when Serena said that.

"Andrew came really late last night and you come home early morning." Serena gave him a grin and Darien started to feel uncomfortable. He didn't want to share his intimate time with Setsuna last night. Although they were friends now, he didn't feel right about sharing such confidential information about his love life because it would feel weird. "Got anything to say?" Serena was eager to find out what happen.

"I gotta take shower." Darien just walked passed her and entered the bathroom.

"Maybe he didn't get lucky." Serena said this to no one in particular but Rini just giggled at her remark.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Raye and Kunzite have a visit with a doctor to see how Raye's pregnancy is going along. Their doctor happen to be Amy's mom and Amy happen to met them at the entrance. Raye explain the story about Kunzite being the father of the baby. Amy was surprised and happy that at least her friend wouldn't have to take care of the baby on her own. She knew her cousin wouldn't abandon her.

"How are feeling today Raye?" asked Ms. Mizuno.

"Hungry," replied Raye. They laughed at that.

"I'll get something from cafeteria," said Kunzite.

"I'll go with you," said Amy. They exited the room leaving the doctor with the patient.

"You and Kunzite seem to be very close," said Ms. Mizuno.

"Yeah," replied Raye.

"Change into this so we can start the examination."

"Okay." Raye went behind some curtains to change.

"How did you meet Kunzite?"

"Oh, he came to Serena's welcome back party."

"Oh yes. Amy told me about that."

"Has he told you anything?" Raye pulled the curtains and walked over to the doctor.

"About what?"

"I guess you should know."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, Kunzite and I have met before." Raye got up on a table and laid back.

"You have?"

"Yes. We sort of didn't know it until yesterday."

"How did you not remember?"

"Because we made this." Raye touched her belly which was very small now. Ms. Mizuno's eyes widen at the realization. Raye just hope that Kunzite wouldn't get mad that she told her.

"How do you figure?"

"Our stories sort of match that night."

"Incredible. Well, you are one lucky girl." Ms. Mizuno started the examination.

"Why would you say that?"

"Kunzite is a very caring person. You pretty much struck gold."

"Thank you. I knew this baby would be special. I was never thinking of giving it away or anything. Something in my gut told me not to."

"Good."

Later on that day, Serena was at the supermarket shopping for some groceries to make Seiya the dinner she'd promised him since it was her day off. She followed Lita's list that she had given her and now was making her way to the register when she crashed into Darien.

"Oh, I'm sorry," said Serena.

"It's alright," said Darien. "No harm done."

"What are you doing here?"

"Chips and dip." Darien took a peek at her cart. "I think this is more you." He showed her what he had in his cart.

"Ha ha. I know how to cook now you know. I'm making a wonderful meal for Seiya tonight."

"Really. Better get him some antacid." Darien laughed. Serena pushed her cart toward him. "Ouch."

"Move please."

"Serena I was just kidding." Darien followed her to the register. "You know you two are made for each other."

"Why would you say that?" Serena started to take her things out of her cart.

"You like food. Enough said."

"Everyone likes food."

"Yeah, but not like you too."

"So, you going to tell me what you were doing at Setsuna's last night?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Fine." Serena let something from her cart fall and bent over to get it. Darien couldn't help the view that he was getting. He felt his breathing slow but when Serena got up and looked toward him he quickly looked away.

The two ended up walking back to the apartment together. Darien helped Serena with her things. He was even a gentlemen when he opened the door to the apartment building. They were waiting at the elevator and had been too quiet during their walk to the apartment.

"Serena don't take this the wrong way but…" Darien began to say. "You look incredible and even this new life style that you have makes you be even more beautiful."

"Darien," said Serena as the elevator doors opened. "You still dig me don't you?" Serena smiles wickedly as she entered the elevator.

"I knew you were going to take it wrong." Darien followed her.

"I'm just so hot. You can't keep your eyes off me."

Darien rolled his eyes as the elevator doors closed. He nodded his head and regretted telling her.

"Serena grow up."

Suddenly the elevator stops abruptly and Serena hit's the back wall. The lights start to go out on the elevator but then remain on. Darien looked around and knew what had happen.

"What happen?"

"The elevator is stuck. It happens sometimes. It'll eventually start again."

"Shouldn't we call someone?"

"Cell phone signals is hard to get in here and the emergency phone is broken." Darien opened a little door next to the buttons and pulled out the emergency phone out hanging in threads.

"How long?"

"Not too long."

"They need to fix this."

"Just relax. Want some chips and dip?" Darien sat down on the floor and opened the bag of chips he bought.

"Okay." Serena joined him.

Back at the hospital, Raye was finished with her test. Dr. Mizuno gave her good news and some suggestions for keeping the baby and herself healthy during the next months.

"Everything is good," said Dr. Mizuno. "You're doing very well for now, but you need to remember that you need to take care of yourself."

"Okay," replied Raye.

"I'll help there," said Kunzite.

"I'm sure you will." Dr. Mizuno smiled at both of them. The couple then headed out the door. Amy watched them go as her mother put an arm over Amy's shoulder. "Some day you'll have that Amy. You'll see."

"I know," replied Amy feeling confident. Her mother then left her at the lobby and when Amy was about to turn to go she bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm so sorry." Amy looked up at the person and noticed that it was Taiki. He had a big smile on his face and was wearing a hat and sunglasses to hide his identity.

From afar, signing some papers, Dr. Mizuno was watching Amy converse with a very tall man that she had just bumped into her. She saw a big smile on her daughters face and was happy that things seem to be going well for her in the love department.

"Taiki," said Amy in a whisper. "Don't you have show tonight? You should be rehearsing. You're brothers won't be please if your skipping out on them."

"It was a life or death situation," said Taiki. "They'll understand." Amy crosses her arms over her chest. "Okay, maybe Yaten would be a bit mad." Amy laughed at that as Taiki admired her beautiful smile and caressed her cheek. "I just wanted to give you this." Taiki pulls from his pocket a VIP pass to their concert tonight. Amy took the pass and was happy to accept.

"I love to." Amy then leaned in to kiss Taiki on the cheek. Taiki blushes at her touch. The two stare at each other. Amy into his deep grayish eyes behind his sunglasses and Taiki into her sparking ocean blue eyes. Taiki decided to make the first move and Amy didn't mind at all as he captured her lips with his. The people in the lobby gave their attention to the two kissing.

Taiki released Amy's lips. Amy was in her own world until she saw the people stare at the couple. She quickly turned a beet red and wanted to hide somewhere. Taiki just ignored them.

"I'll see you tonight at the concert." Taiki tipped his hat to Amy and left the hospital.

Meanwhile still in the elevator, Serena and Darien had already finished Darien's chips and dip. It was now beginning to get hot in the elevator and Serena began to fan herself. She then lost her patience and got up.

"We have to do something," said Serena. "We can't just sit here and wait until it wants to work."

"It is taking kind of long," said Darien. "Look I'm sure it'll kick in soon. Why don't we talk about something that will take your mind off it."
"Okay, so what were you doing at Setsuna's last night?" Darien rolled his eyes.

I'm sorry I took long in updating but here you have it. Thanks for all the reviews to all my beautiful fans. LOL. You mean the world to me. LOL.
