Love of a Lifetime Part 4 By: Sailor Destiny

Andrew and Susan walked out of the hospital and towards there home. "Andrew I'm worried about Serina, and hope she's ok I know how much your sister means to you." Susan said to Andrew as they walked home. "I know but I will take care of everything Susan don't worry." Andrew said as they walked down the street. About 20 min. later they reached there home. Andrew told Susan to stay inside and he left out to go see Serina. When Andrew got back to the hospital he noticed that Beryl, Travis and Alan where there. They where arguing with Laura. "What do you mean we can't go in and see her. I'm her father!" Alan said. "I'm sorry sir you are simply not her father for you look nothing like her." Laura said. The two of them argued for a while and Beryl began to get bored and was looking around the lobby of the hospital when she saw Andrew. She went pale. *It can't be I killed him years ago!* Beryl thought to herself as Andrew went into Serina's room. Serina was in her bed and Darien was sitting right by her bedside with her hand in his. Her head was wrapped up in bandages from her surgery. "Is she ok Darien?" Andrew asked. "Yeah she's fine. She's just asleep." Darien said. "I can't believe those bastards outside her room are our step family." Andrew said in a hushed whisper. " I agree with you Andrew. Those people are not true family if they treat her like this." Darien said softly to Andrew as they both held one of Serina's hands. "I'm going to make them pay for this. Not only did I lose a sister but a niece as well." Andrew said as he stood up. Right when he stood up Serina began to stir. " Darien what's going on where's my baby?" Serina asked confused. "Serina we have some bad news to tell you." Andrew said answering for Darien. "Andrew I thought you were dead." Serina said as she tried to sit up but found she couldn't "What is it?" Serina said as fear began to enter her eyes. "Well...for one I'm not dead. After Beryl tried t kill me I left, and second your daughter was killed." Andrew said as tears ran down his face. "NOOOO!!!!!!" Serina yelled as she broke down in tears. Both Darien and Andrew tried to comfort her. "I'm going to make them pay for the pain they put the two of us through." Andrew whispered into Serina's ear. "How Andrew how are you going to do that?" Serina asked as she looked at Andrew. " Don't worry princess just know I'm going to take care of it all." Andrew said as he kissed Serina on the cheek and walked out. Beryl was still shocked at seeing Andrew walk into Serina's room. *That can't be I killed him years ago!* she thought. "Excuse me father I'm going outside to get some air." She said as she walked outside. *That's not right I killed Prince Andrew years ago. How can this be?* "So my little step sister we meet again. How wonderful it is to see how much of a snake you've become." Andrew whispered into Beryl's ear. "You, but how I killed you." Beryl said in shock. "Well think again. Cause I'm going to find out why you put me and my sister through hell." Andrew said as he departed back to his house. Beryl just stared at him before running back into the hospital. "Father, we must leave now. Our lives are in danger." Beryl said to Alan. "All right little one we will leave now. I will be back to see my daughter soon." Alan said as he walked out with Beryl. "Serina everything will be ok I promise." Darien said to her. "I know Darien, I just can't believe they would stoop so low as to take the life of my innocent child." Serina said as Darien held her. He kissed her forehead when Laura came in. "Darien, I would like for you to take Serina to your house right now. I know you know how to take care of her. Her stepfather is very persistent." Laura said. Darien nodded and picked Serina up out of the bed rapped in blankets. They walked down to the garage and to Darien's car. He put Serina in the front seat of the car and drove off. When they got to Darien's house he picked up Serina and put her in his bed. "Darien where are you going to sleep?" Serina asked him. "With you of course my love." Darien said as he kissed Serina softly on her lips. Serina smiled and snuggled into the warmth of Darien's covers. She immediately fell asleep. " Good night my lovely princess." Darien said as he climbed under the covers with her and went to sleep. It was well in the night when Andrew left his house and went out looking for Travis. He spotted Travis in an ally alone. *this is my chance to get him back for trying to kill Serina and for killing Mina and my nice* Andrew thought to himself as he pulled his silenced gun out of out of his pocket. He was within close range of Travis when he turned around. That's when Andrew fired one bullet and Travis fell to the ground. A single bullet hole in his head. Andrew put his gun back into his pocket. He put on a pair of gloves and pulled Travis' hand gun out of his pocket. He fired it once and then put the gun in Travis' hand to make it look like a suicide. Andrew turned and walked on home satisfied that the one who had been causing him pain was dead. When Andrew got home Susan was standing in the door of their room waiting for him. "Where have you been?" "I had some important business to attend to, so don't worry about it." Andrew told her. "I have to call Darien and talk to him." He said as he picked up the phone and dialed Darien's number. After 4 rings the answering machine picked up. "You have reached Darien Chiba I am unable to come to the phone right now. Please leave a message after the tone." The machine said. "Dare, it's Andrew give me a call as soon as you get my message. Later." Andrew said as he hung up the phone. "How's your sister?" Susan asked as Andrew came back into the room. "She's fine. If I'm right then she's at Darien's. My step father is trying to see her." Andrew said. "Now, go to sleep Susan we have a long day to attend to tomorrow." Andrew said as he kissed Susan softly on the cheek and went to bed. Serina stirred slightly. Darien looked over at her sleeping form and sighed softly. *Oh why did this life have to be yours Serina.* Darien thought to himself and he moved a piece of her long hair from her face. She stirred again and opened her eyes slowly. "Morning sweety." Darien said to Serina. "Morning. What's for breakfast?" Serina said. Darien laughed and got up to fix something to eat. As Darien left the room the phone rang. "Do you want me to get it for you Darien?" Serina asked. "If you don't mind Serina." Darien said as he was cooking. "Hello this Is the Chiba residence how can I help you?" Serina asked. "Hey sis is Darien around?" Andrew asked. "Yeah he's cooking right now Andrew can I take a message." Serina asked. "Well turn on the TV. And you'll see." Andrew said. "Ok Bye bro." Serina said as she hung up the phone. "Who was that Serina." Darien asked. "It was Andrew. He said to turn on the news." Serina said as she walked into the room. "Ok." Darien said as he walked and turned on the TV. "If you're just joining us the body of Travis Robinson has just been found in an ally early this morning." The news anchor said. "It is said to be a suicide. He had a gunshot wound to the front of his head. Our condolence's are with his family." She said again. "Wow I am glad he's dead. He went to far when he killed my daughter." Serina said as she broke down into tears. Darien took her into his arms and kissed her tears away. "Serina it will be ok I promise." Darien told her. Serina started to calm down. "Now come on breakfast is ready." Darien said. At the mention of food Serina got up and went and got her food. Darien and Serina got up and went to her house. "Serina are you going to go to Travis funeral?" Darien asked Serina. "No. I'm giving my young daughter a funeral so I'm not going." Serina said. When Serina went into the house Amy and the rest of the girls where waiting for her to come in. "Serina we're glad your ok!" Amy said as everyone began to hug Serina. "I know I'm glad to still be alive." Serina said as she returned hugs. I'm going to stay at Darien's house so if any of you want this house you can have it." Serina said "Thanks Serina." Ray said. The girls where soon interrupted by a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Amy asked "I need to see Serina." The voice said. "Amy looked through the peep hole to see Alan standing there. Serina already knew who it was and knew it was time to face the one person she ran away from long time ago. Andrew was there already helping out the girls. "It's up to you Serina." Andrew told her. "Let him in." Serina said to Amy. "Are you sure Serina?" Amy said "Yes I'm sure." Serina said a little impatiently showing her friends her princess' temper. "Ok Serina." Amy said as she opened the door. Alan walked into the room. "Thank you now where is Serina?" Alan said. "I'm right hear. What can I do for you?" Serina asked him. " I want you to come home where you belong." Alan said. "Home, home, you mean where you rapped me and my sister and killed my mother in my face home! That's more like a prison!" Serina said as she walked up into Alan's face. "Please Serina I'm sorry about that. I really am and I want you home. Your people want you home." Alan said. "How would I know that? I left for a certain reason. That reason was you!" Serina yelled at the top of her lungs before stomping out of the room and into another room in tears. "Look what you've done to her." Amy said calmly as he walked after Serina. In the room that once belong to Mina, Serina sat on the bed crying. "Serina, can I come in?" Amy said softly. "Sure Amy come in." Serina said as she dried the tears from her face. "Serina so what are you going to do?" Amy asked her as she sat down next to her. "I don't know but how can he expect me to come back after what he did to me and Mina? I don't understand why he would expect me to come back after what he did." Serina said as fresh tears began to fall down her face. Amy tried her best to comfort her but to no avail. "Serina I'm going to get Andrew ok I think you should talk to him about this he knows more than I do ok." Amy said. "Yeah." Serina replied. Amy walked out of the room and into the living room. "Andrew you need to speek to Serina, I can't help her with this you're the only one who can." Amy whispered in Andrew's ear. Andrew nodded and went into the room Serina was in. Serina was sitting on the bed crying softly to herself. "Serina, look I know this is a hard choice for you to make. I understand how much it pains you to hear him asking you to come back home, but it's a choice that only you can make. It's truly up to you if you want to go home or not I know that you will only do what you are comfortable with." Andrew said as he kissed Serina on the cheek. "Thanks Andrew I always could come to you for any kind of advice and I really appreciate it." Serina said as she hugged him back. Serina walked out of the room with a very regal stance followed closely by Andrew. Darien walked over and stood next to Serina. Everyone in the room except Alan were surprised. "So princess what have you deiced?" Alan asked her. "I have made up my mind and will come home on one condition." Serina said. "What condition is that princess?" Alan asked once more. "That I can bring all of my friends with me." Serina replied. "Anything for you princess." Alan said bowing low to Serina. "Everyone pack your things we leave in two weeks." Serina said. "You mean we're actually going to be able to visit your home land!" Hanna said enthusiastically. "Yes little one. We are." Serina said softly. Darien kisses Serina softly on her cheek. "I can't believe it. I'm going home." Serina said happily to Darien. Alan was bowing low to Serina as Beryl came into the room. "Father what are you doing?!?" Beryl practically yelled at Alan. "I'm bring the princess home where she belongs, and I'm bringing her friends who are now to become her ladies in waiting." Alan said. The girls stared at Alan with wide opened mouths. "I can't believe you father. First my boyfriend committed suicide, and now your brining her back to the palace. She shouldn't be allowed back at the palace she ran away from her duties." Beryl yelled. "Young lady you are to respect your step sister from now on. Even if she did run away she is still the rightful princess of England." Alan said. " I leave for home in 2 weeks if you wish to return with us. If not then you can stay hear." Alan said as he turned and left the room. Serina went into her room to get her things together. "Serina I can't believe it you're a princess, and not just any princess the missing Princess of England." Ray said. "Some secrets I kept for protection. I just didn't know that everything would turn out like this." Serina said. "Hey sis let me get that." Andrew said as he picked up Serina's heavy suitcase. He took the suitcase and put into the back of Darien's car. *Well I have two weeks to let Laura know I'm going back home.* Darien thought to himself. Darien and Serina got into his car and drove back to Darien's apartment. When they reached his apartment Serina was drifting into space. "Darien, do you think I did the right thing by agreeing to go home?" Serina asked him. "Serina the choice was up to you, but I do feel like you've done the right thing in giving the people back the princess they loved from the time you where born." Darien told her. "Thanks Darien." She said, as she kissed him on the cheek softly. Darien and Serina went inside Darien's apartment and packed p what little things Serina had as he packed up his. "So how do you think the people are going to react to your return Serina?" Darien asked her. "I don't know Darien I truly don't know." Serina said as they continued to pack. Two weeks past very quickly and everyone was ready to leave. "So you ready to go Serina?" Darien asked. "Yes, I'm ready." Serina said, as they walked into the airport. Alan and the other girls where waiting for them to arrive before the private jet took off for England. Serina was wearing a nice cream pants suite. Darien had on some slacks and a dress shirt. Everyone else was dressed similarly. "Well is everyone ready to go?" Alan asked. Everyone nodded and they all began to board the jet. The flight to England was amazing for the others who never knew this was going to happen. When they arrived in England the news media was in the terminal waiting for the return of the King and lost Princess. As they got off the jet cameras started flashing trying to get a view of Serina. The royal body guards where holding the media back as everyone so that they couldn't get up to the group. Ray, Lita, Alex, Michelle, Hanna, Susan, Amy, Andrew and Darien where all standing in a circle around Serina to protect her. As they walked to the awaiting limos people stopped to look at the scene that was passing them. When they finally got to the limo they hurriedly got in. As the limo drove off everyone began talking at once. "Oh my gosh I can't believe I'm hear in England. It's amazing." Ray said as she looked out the tinted window of the limo. "you haven't seen anything yet Ray. Wait till you see the palace." Serina told her as the limo drove down the street. When they got to the palace, Ray, Amy, Lita, Hanna, Susan, Alex, and Michelle were all speechless. Darien, Alan, Serina, and Andrew all just smiled and busted out laughing. The limo pulled up in front of the palace, and waiting for the king and princess to return was the entire staff that had watched Princess Little Lady Serenity and Princess Little Lady Mina run away that night 11 years ago. Serina's friends got out of the limo first and the staff began to laugh at the expressions on their faces. When they looked up they saw Alan get out of the limo followed by Darien and Andrew. The staff was shocked to see Prince Darien from France and the Prince of England Andrew whom the whole kingdom thought was dead. As they stared at the two Princes Serina stepped out of the limo. The staff looked at Serina and had a double take. "She looks so much like her mother!!" Someone whispered to someone else. Darien walked over to Serina and led her into the palace, and everyone followed.
