"That's nice, but what does this have to do with me?" Darien questioned.
"What do you think? It's yours," Serena replied with biting sarcasm.
"Do you really expect me to believe that? What do you want money becau-," Darien began, soon getting cut off.
"No, I don't want your money. I just thought that you would like to know that in about 8 months you're going to be a father, but obvious I was wrong. Just forget that I ever came here," Serena muttered walking towards the door.
As she reached the door and grabbed the knob, she turned around, "I'm going to have this child whether or not you want to be a part of its life or not. It really doesn't matter to me," Serena exclaimed as she walked out the room, leaving a confused man and very pregnant secretary grinning in her wake.
"You want my opinion," a voice asked once again disturbing Darien from his work.
Sighing in defeat Darien put down his file and looked up to find his secretary who was grinning from ear to ear.
"Well you're going to give it to me anyways, so just tell me," Darien demanded.
"Just because you deal with vindictive bitches like Beryl, doesn't mean all women take after them. After sitting there and talking to her for a good five minutes she doesn't seem to be like a gold-digger. In fact seems like a down to earth person with a good heart. And by the look of her custom made designer suit, I would assume that she had her own money and wasn't after yours," Raye concluded, leaving the room.
It took Darien a couple of minutes to process Raye's statements before he came back to reality.
"Raye could you get your husband on Line 1 for me?" Darien questioned into the intercom.
"Way ahead of you," Raye replied.
"Thanks you're a live saver," Darien muttered picking up the phone.
"How's my favorite FBI agent?" Darien asked.
"What do you want Westcott?" came an aspirated reply.
"I need you to do a search on a Serena Parker," Darien exclaimed.
"Anything special you want to know about her?" the man asked.
"Everything, but mainly I need her address, thanks Justin," Darien replied.
"No problem. You're just lucking Raye speaks so highly of you. I'll call you back when I find something on her," Justin exclaimed, hanging up the phone.
3 hours later Darien's phone started going off.
"Justin?" Darien questioned, picking up the phone.
"So I found her. I had to do a lot of searching for her." Justin exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Darien questioned.
"It seems that you picked a good girl. The only things on her record were a couple of speeding tickets, one that she got 2 weeks. She stated that her current address is 516 Glencoe Drive," Justin replied.
"516 Glencoe Drive, that sounds familiar. Thanks Justin," Darien muttered hanging up the phone.
"Raye, cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day," Darien muttered, walking out of the office.
"Yes Darien," was her only reply.
"Smith take me to 516 Glencoe Drive," Darien told his chauffeur.
"Sir, I thought you had a restraining order against Ms. Mina," Smith exclaimed.
"What are you talking about?" Darien questioned.
"516 Glencoe Drive is Miss Mina address," Smith muttered.
"That's why it sounded familiar. No matter, take me there anyways," Darien demanded.
RING, RING, RING
"Hello," Serena exclaimed as she picked up the phone.
"Hey sis, how's my apartment?" a voice questioned.
"No, 'hey are you doing' or 'I miss you.' Just 'how's my apartment," Serena muttered.
"Okay I'm sorry Serena. I miss you? How are you?" she questioned.
"Oh I miss you too, Mina. I'm doing fine and your apartment looks great. How are you?" Serena asked.
"That's good. I'm fine, so what did your mystery man say about the baby?" Mina asked.
"He accused me of lying and wanting his money," Serena replied, sitting down on the couch.
"What did you expect him to think?" Mina asked.
"I don't know but I never expected him to be such a bastard. That night, when we... you know... he seemed so passionate and gentle but I guess a few drinks makes you hallucinate," Serena mumbled.
"So what are you gonna do? I don't mean any offense but you're still a little country girl at heart. You have no idea how the real world actually works and I'm not gonna keep paying for everything, especially if you have this baby. I earned this money for me and I don't expect to spend all of it taking care of my LITTLE SISTER and her child. I'm going to be home by the end of the week and I want you gone by then. You've been living in my apartment for the last month and it's time for you to go," Mina exclaimed with slight disdain in her voice.
"Well thank you ever so much BIG SISTER. I KNEW I would have YOUR SUPPORT. But don't forget Mina we grew up together, same house, same small ass country town and you're just as much of a country girl as I am. You think that just because you made a couple of movies and are on the cover of a few magazines that it's makes you hot shit, but it doesn't. As for this child... my child I will find a way to make it work out and I won't need your help, which includes your money. And as for paying for things, it was I who worked all summer and then gave the money to you because you wanted to have an abortion before mom and dad found out you were pregnant.
"Why are you bringing up old shit? I was 17. I was young," Mina muttered, her voice slightly raising.
"Because you're being selfish, I spent the last 15 years of my life helping you. I lied to mom and dad plenty of times about your whereabouts and activities. Never told them about your numerous pregnancies or why the people talked about our family behind our backs. I LIED...... to everyone, my parents, my brothers and all for you and you're saying that you can't help me when I really need it. And I could see if I constantly asked for help, but this is the FIRST time in MY LIFE that I have and you're being bitching," Serena yelled, slamming the phone on the hook and pulling the cord out of the wall when it started to ring again.
2 hours later
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
Serena swung the front door open and there stood the arrogant bastard in a business suit, in other words her unborn child's father. "What do you want?" Serena questioned and was surprised when the man pushed past her and walked straight into the apartment.
"So what's going on. Did you and Mina come up with this sick twisted plan to get back at me. I can't believe you two are such vile women as to involve a unborn child that is if you ARE even pregnant," Darien hissed with disgust clearly present in his voice.
"Yes, I know Mina, she's my sister. As to what the hell you're talking about I have no clue. No would you kindly vacate my place of resident before I call security," Serena exclaimed, opening the door wider, indicating for him to leave.
Darien stared into her eyes and found no hidden motive or anything of that nature. 'Either she's one hell of an actress or really has no idea what I'm talking about,' he thought to himself.
"Okay maybe we got off on the wrong foot. I would like to talk to you about the child you're carrying," Darien began, making no effort to leave the apartment.
"You sure didn't want to talk or should I say believe me when I was in your office. Why the sudden change?" Serena cut in, closing the door and walking to the living room with Darien right behind her.
"As much as I doubt it, there's a slight chance that this child you carry is mine. I'm aware that during the our first meeting that I was not wearing a condom and that you weren't wearing a diagram. So as I said before there is a slight chance I that I might be the father," Darien announced.
"That's all good in dandy, but that still doesn't explain your present in home," Serena muttered.
"Like I said if this child is in fact mine. I want to ensure that it is not put in danger before or after the birth," Darien exclaimed.
"What do you mean before birth?" Serena questioned, crossing her arms over her chest, a gesture that didn't go unnoticed by Darien.
"To make sure that you don't put him...or her in danger by smoking or drinking," Darien replied.
"And exactly how do you plan to this?" Serena asked, coming to stand in front of him.
"You will be moving in with me...
