***Tsukino house***
Ikuko and Bakura had just finished cooking dinner.
"Bakura can you go tell Sammy Rini Serena and the boys that dinner is ready?" asked Ikuko.
Bakura smiled.
"Sure thing Aunt Ikuko"
He left passing Kenji who was coming out of the living room, and went upstairs he walked up the stairs to Rini's room and saw the door closed so he knocked.
"Rini dinners ready."
Hearing no answer he shrugged and went back down stairs and continued on, stopping this time at Sammy's room there he knocked again.
"Who is it?" he heard Sammy ask.
"It's me squirt dinners ready." said Bakura.
"Coming Kura" said Sammy.
Seconds later the door opened and Sammy stepped out.
"See you down there Kura"
Bakura walked down towards Serena room, walking in he found Atem still un-braiding Serena's hair and Malik lightly dozing on the mattress.
"Yo guys Dinner's ready" said Bakura.
Malik's eyes shot open and Serena head snapped to the side.
"Whoa baby eyes front" said Atem as he was in the middle of un-braiding Serena's hair and accidentally tugged on one of the mini braids he was untangling making Serena hiss.
"Meet you down there guys" said Malik and Bakura.
As Malik shot out of the room like a rocket.
"Hotness" Serena whined
"OK, OK baby we'll get down there as I know you're hungry just let me finish untangling this braid" said Atem.
"Fine" Serena sighed.
A few minutes later Atem finished untangling the braid.
"There all done now let's go eat."
Serena stood up walked over to her closet and got down her robe and put it on, after fiddling with the sash in her hurry to get down stairs, she gave up. Atem chuckled walked over and tied it for her.
"There you go now let's go before dinner gets cold" he told her.
Serena nodded.
Together they made their way out of the room and down stairs Serena could smell the food as she and Atem descended the stairs.
"Hmmm smells like Chicken Yakisoba" said Serena.
As she and Atem walked in and over to the table where the food was already laid out, Atem pulled out her chair making Serena smile.
"Thank you my hotness"
Atem pushed her in lent down and kissed her cheek before taking his own seat.
"Serena where's Rini?" asked Ikuko.
"I knocked on her door but there was no answer" said Bakura.
Unfortunately just as Serena picked up her chopsticks the phone rang.
"I'll get it" said Serena.
She stood up and walked over to the phone and picked it up but really regretting it as soon as she heard HIS voice,
Darien: Serena what the bloody hell!
Serena pulled the phone away from her ear and still could hear him yelling.
"Is that him?" the boys asked.
Serena nodded.
Darien: Did you even realise Rini was missing she came to my place in tears because you told her that she shouldn't exist that you're not her mother, we went to the future, myself even told us that she is ours.
Not hearing a response
Darien: Serena are you even listening to a word I'm saying?
Serena scoffed and rolled her eyes, before hanging up and walking back to the table taking a seat and started to eat.
"So Rini's at his place?" asked Ikuko.
"Guess so" said Serena her tone was uncaring.
"If he calls like that again I'm changing our home number" said Kenji.
Serena smiled and continued to eat her Dinner.
"Mum, Crazy this is delicious please tell me there is left overs for lunch tomorrow?" she asked after swallowing the bite she took.
Ikuko and Bakura smiled.
"We made enough for all 5 of you to have some for lunch tomorrow" said Ikuko.
She then stood up took Rini's plate of food and dumped it back into the pot of left overs before placing the plate and chop sticks in the sink.
***Darien's Apartment***
Darien's eyes narrowed, as he heard the diel tone.
"What happened Daddy" came Rini's voice.
Darien put the phone down and turned smiling at his daughter.
"Nothing baby."
He then looked around.
"Rini where is Trista?"
"Out on the balcony" replied Rini.
Trista heard Darien step out onto the balcony and felt his arms wrap around her waist and felt his lips on the back of her neck making the tears she had been holding back finally fall.
"What's the matter sweetheart?" asked Darien.
"Why did I leave it for so long why did I never say anything oh Rini" Trista whispered.
"Leave what for so long and what's this have to do with Rini?" asked Darien worry laced his voice.
The woman turned her red eyes sparkled with tears.
I never noticed it before but her eyes they look like Rini's Darien thought,
Trista cleared her throat.
"I need to speak with you and Rini about something I've been keeping from you both" said Trista.
Darien gave her a look but put his arm around her and walked back inside and over to the sofa where Rini still sat.
"Rini honey Trista has something to say to us" said Darien.
Rini looked up.
"What is it Puu?"
Trista sat down and sighed.
"Long ago before you were born sweetie Serenity and your father had been married for 2 years at the time and the kingdom of Crystal Tokyo had just been formed, for two years the Queen wanted a child and they tried for so long but were unsuccessful and eventually they separated" said Trista.
Rini gasped.
Darien sat shocked.
"What he never said anything to Serena or me when we went there a few years ago" Trista looked at him.
"I'm sorry he never told you this or anything else I'm about to tell you" said Trista.
"So what happened how is this connected to what Serena said to Rini?" asked Darien.
Trista sat there eyes closed trying to calm down, her heat was hammering in her chest and tears brimmed behind her eyes.
"While the Queen and your father were separated Rini. Um your father and I began seeing each other, but he truly loved the queen and after sometime they recoiled….excuse me I need some air" said Trista they watched as she walked out onto the balcony.
Rini looked at her father.
"Daddy what's wrong?" asked Rini.
"I don't know sweetie stay here" said Darien.
He then stood up and made his way out onto the balcony where he saw Trista sitting on the balcony chair in the corner crying, he walked over and knelt in front of her taking her hands.
"Trista darling talk to me, baby why did you stop?"
Trista swallowed the lump in her throat.
"It's so painful I held it in for so long it's been crushing me Darien to be close yet so far for years."
"Oh honey."
He gathered her in his arms after she calmed down she pulled back and whipped her eyes.
"Let's get this over with" said Trista as she stood up.
Wrapping his arm around her shoulder they both walked back inside and over to the sofa where they sat down. Rini took one look at Trista and crawled into her lap.
"Don't be sad Puu"
Trista smiled.
"Thank you sweetie."
Trista kissed Rini's forehead then went back to her story.
"As I said your father and Serenity recoiled but not long after they recoiled I learned I was 5 weeks with Child, your father's child Rini"
Both Darien and Rini's head snap up to look at her,
"Where is my bother/ sister now Puu how come I never met her/ him?" asked Rini.
"Rini "don't interrupt please sweetie," said Darien not taking his eyes off his girlfriend.
"When I told the king he was shocked to say the least, we both knew that with my duty there would be no way I could raise our baby and so that night when the queen slept I teleported into her chambers and transferred my embryo into her womb, I had told Endy what I had done the only thing I asked of him was if it was a girl to call the baby Irini, after my mother Queen Irini of Pluto. 9 months later I heard the Queen gave birth on her own birthday to a beautiful baby girl that Endy Named Irini I often looked in on the child and used to hear the Queen call the child Rini.
Rini sat there shocked as did Darien.
"Trista are you saying your Rini's Biological mother?"
Trista looked down at Rini smiled and stroked her hair.
"I am Darien"
Rini slipped off Trista's lap backing away shaking her head tears running down her face before bolting out of the apartment with both Darien and Trista calling her name,
"Rini," Darien called
"Irini come back." Trista pleaded.
Darien looked at Trista he saw the pain and sadness.
"I'm so Sorry Darien" Trista said sadly tears slipping from her eyes for a 3rd time.
Darien went to console her once again only for her to hold up her hand.
"Darien just go find our daughter."
Not knowing what else to do he nodded and left the apartment he knew where Rini was, if she was upset and was at his place she would head to the roof, so he took the stairs to the roof.
After stepping out he could not see her anywhere until he closed the door and turned right and saw her sitting against the wall on the west side of the building knees drawn up to her chest and hugging her Luna P ball.
"Rini Honey" said Darien.
The 9 year old looked up, her red eyes filled with tears making Darien remember when he saw Trista eyes sparkle moments ago out on the balcony they sparkled just the same as Rini's was now.
She has her mother's eyes he thought with a smile.
It was still hard to realise that he shared a daughter with Trista and NOT Serena, that Serena was right all along she wasn't Rini's mother.
Darien knelt down in front of her.
"Baby I know your upset and hurt because your mother….
man that sounds strange revering Trista as Rini's mother he thought….
Did not tell you but I'm sure she was protecting you and your father," said Darien.
"She was my guardian daddy she watched over me why did she not ever pull me a side one day and tell me" said Rini.
Who wiped her tears from her eyes and stood up.
"She may have thought you too young to understand or if you knew you may accidentally say something in front of your mother I mean stepmother before your father ever got to tell her the truth.
"Then what's happen to home what is my future now?" asked Rini.
"Let's go back to the apartment and find out" said Darien .
Although he was showing a happy face his mind was racing with the news that Rini was in fact called Irini and that she was his and Trista's child.
But Rini…Irini is right what happens to the future and her home now Darien's thoughts.
He and Irini made their way back to the apartment. Meanwhile back at Serena's house….
***Tsukino house***
The family had just finished eating.
"Mum you and Bakura cooked so Psycho myself and hotness will do the washing rinsing and drying up, Sammy you can put them away Crazy why not take a bath or shower which ever you choose after I fill the sinks" said Serena.
As she Malik Atem and Sammy gathered up the plates and cutlery, and took them over to the sink stacking them on the side.
Serena then ran the water in both sinks before turning the taps off and turning to Bakura.
"All done Crazy, you can head for your shower or bath now, towels are hanging up in the bathroom your bag is by my bed in my bedroom" Serena informed him.
Bakura smiled walked up behind her and kissed her cheek. "Thanks honey bun" he then left the kitchen heading for Serena's room. While Serena and the boys went about doing the dishes. Bakura came down moments later and smiled at Serena before disappearing down the hall.
***10 minutes later****
He emerged from the bathroom and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey honey bun need a hand?" asked Bakura.
"Crazy I told you no, you and mama cooked so you both are not doing the dishes."
"OK, OK, honey bun, I'll just go and start making the mattress up," said Bakura.
"Thanks Crazy" said Serena.
The young man walked up the stairs and down the hall into Serena's room where he turned the light on and made his way over to the closet and got down the sheets and blanket plus the three pillows took them over to Serena's bed and they lay them out before grabbing the bottom sheet and started making up the mattress.
***20 minutes later***
The boys and Serena finished the dishes.
"We're done mum" said Serena sticking her head into the living room, where her mother and father were watching the news.
"Thanks sweethearts" said Ikuko.
So together they all went upstairs.
"Hey Sammy go grab your deck of cards and meet us in my room" said Serena as she and the boys walked into her room to see Bakura laying down on the blow up mattress.
"Hey crazy love" said Serena.
Bakura looked up at her and smiled.
"Hello honey bun" he said as he sat up and Malik took a spot on the mattress.
Moment later Sammy walked in and sat down on the mattress.
"So what game do you guys wanna play?" asked Sammy.
"How about we teach you how to play your sisters favourite card game 7 card Rummy" said Malik.
"That's a game I haven't played in 6 years" Serena commented as she walked over to her vanity and sat down.
"Would you and Tem like to join us?" asked Sammy.
"Not the first round buddy I have to fix your sisters hair" said Atem.
"Yeah it's a royal mess" said Serena.
Atem laughed.
"Not once I'm through with it, it won't be" said Atem as he started on undo the rest of the mini braids.
After undoing the braids Atem began brushing her hair out, once done Serena saw how frizzy her hair looked
"I look like a cat that has been blow dried after a bath" said Serena.
That got a good laugh from the boys.
"Baby would you like me to do a high braid for tonight?" asked Atem.
"Please" Serena answered.
A few minutes later Atem finished Serena's hair just as he and Serena heard her brother let out a cheer, Serena turned "why so happy bro?" she asked him. Sammy turned to her I beat them at their own game" said Sammy happily.
"You may have beaten us squirt but can you beat the queen" said Malik.
Sammy gave him a confused look "Who the hell is that?" he asked.
"Why that would be your sister" said Bakura.
"Really Rena?" asked Sammy.
Serena smiled.
"Although no matter how hard I try I could never beat either Crazy Psycho and especially Royal hotness at duel monsters." Was Serena's reply.
"So you guys up for a round?" asked Malik.
"Sure are" said Serena and Atem at the same time.
The two sat down on the mattress,
"Hey guys wanna listen to some tunes?" as Bakura.
"Yes" they all said, so while Bakura got up to put on their debut album Malik dealt out the cards.
"Anyone wanna drink before we start another round?" asked Sammy as he stood up.
"Yes please" they all answered.
So while Sammy went to get the drinks Bakura pressed play as soon as Serena heard the hunting melody start-up she got a dazed look on her face and flopped back onto the mattress then Malik's voice came through the speakers and she completely lost it closing her eyes as her body shook. Malik smiled an evil smile as he lent over her and ran the tips of his fingers on her thigh under her robe before whispering in her ear.
"You feeling OK beautiful"
Serena gasp, her eyes shot open and she bolts up as Malik withdrew his hand and chuckles only to have Serena throw a pillow at him by the time Sammy came back with their drinks he walked into an all-out pillow fight.
Sammy smiled set the tray on the dresser and dived right into them all effectively ending the pillow fight.
"So we playing or what?" asked Sammy as he casually reclines against his sister and Atem.
"Yes now get off" said Serena pushing her brother off herself and Atem.
"Hey who's singing this song?" asked Sammy.
"Here let me find out" said Serena.
Climbing over her boys and standing up before walking over to her CD player and grabbing the case,
"It's track 2 called just a dream and it's Atem as lead vocalist" said Serena.
Listening to the words a lot closer Serena could hear a hint of sadness and longing in his voice and it brought tears to her eyes.
"Hey easy, easy baby it's OK" said Atem as he comforted her.
After calming down Serena pulled back "when did you write it?" asked Serena as she whipped her tears. "I wrote just a dream the morning after you left it was inspired by a dream I had because when I woke I thought you were still here until it all came back to me" Atem explained.
"So you wrote that 6 years ago?" asked Sammy.
Atem nodded.
Serena got her emotions under control and everything went back to the way it was, Sammy brought the drinks over resting the tray on the small table that Atem brought over they played a few more rounds of 7 card Rummy and continued to listen to the album until there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" said Serena.
The door opened and Kenji stuck his head in.
"Boys Serena its 10:00 time for bed you 5 have school in the morning
They all smiled.
"OK dad" said Sammy as he and the others began packing up the cards.
With the cards packed away Sammy stood up hugged his sister and the boy's goodnight before walking out over to his room, Kenji switched off the light and closed the door, Serena and the boys got comfortable on the mattress with Malik laying above the three of them the extra sheet and blanket tugged up to his chin. While Serena lay in the middle of the mattress with her head on Malik's lap, with both Atem and Bakura snuggled into her sides. After each kissing Serena goodnight, Serena Atem Bakura and Malik snuggled under the sheets and fell asleep.
