DC:I do not own Sailor Moon so quit hassling me! : ^}


Darien let Ami in the door of the house and Serena felt a bit more nervous seeing the excited look on Ami's face.

Serena: So?
Ami: I haven't looked at them yet; I thought I'd give you the honors.
Ami hands Serena the envelope. Serena opens it up. Inside are four pieces of paper stating the children's parentage.

Serena looks up and casts a defeated look on her face.
Darien: Believe it now?
Serena: If I was deceased for 8 years and you saw me buried, then how am I here.
Darien: Haven't quite figured that one out yet.
Serena: If I was shown dead, then our marriage would have been void.
Darien: I never had it annulled. I decided I would probably never marry again so I kept it valid and I'm glad I did.
Serena: I was buried not cremated right?
Darien: Yes so
Serena: We could dig up the casket and see if my hunch is right
Darien: What hunch
Serena: That it's empty. But if it is, that just provokes more questions. If I wasn't in that casket, then who or what was? I'll have to call in some favors but I can get that casket up by the end of the week. You're gonna have to come with me to plead the case Darien.
Darien: Ok. Lets get this over with.

The next day Serena tells Darien to dress nice.
Darien: Should I wear a tie
Serena: That would be good. The head of the board that does things like this likes a man who wears a tie. He's gay just to let you know.
Darien: Maybe I shouldn't wear a tie
Serena: Don't be silly, I just tell him that you're my husband and you're taken. That should scare him.
Darien: Why?
Serena: He used to say that whomever married me would be exhausted and no fun cause I so hectic at times. Here let me do that.
Serena huddled up next to him to fix his tie. Darien could feel her breathing on his neck and it sent lovely sensations down his spine. He was disappointed however to see that it didn't affect her as it did him, or she was very good at hiding emotions. Serena was wearing a pair of black slacks with a matching jacket. She wore a light blue blouse that complimented her eyes. Darien wore a black suit with a gray button down shirt. He wore a black tie that Serena had fixed as she always had done.
Darien: Maybe you should wear your wedding ring so the gay guy will believe our marriage
Serena: If you still have it, I'll wear it.
Darien reached in a drawer and pulled out a black case and handed it to her. Serena opened it and slipped the silver wedding band onto her slender finger.
Serena: Still fits
Darien: The engagement ring is in here too though I had it buried with you.
Serena: Can I see it.
Darien: Well of course, it's yours
Serena: It's beautiful
As Serena fingers the moon and the rose she suddenly gets a flashback of a masked man handing her rose but it left as quickly as it came and left her disoriented.
Darien: Are you ok?
Serena: Yeah, lets go
Darien: Watches her retreating back and knows that something did happen but she didn't want to say.


Darien follows Serena into her office walks over to her wall where it was adorned with pictures. Jonathon Nesbith pays Serena a visit. Darien doesn't turn around but he listens to their conversation.
Jonathon: Well hello Serena
Serena: Mr. Nesbith
Jonathon: Since when do you call me that
Serena: Since I met you and you probably hadn't noticed because you were to distracted by looking at my body now is that right?
Jonathon mouth is agape but he shrugs off her comment by approaching a very sore subject as Serena busily types something on her computer.
Jonathon: How's your boy
Serena: He's fine
Jonathon: You know that boy needs a father
Serena: Are you applying?
Jonathon: Maybe
Serena: I'm afraid that position as been filled. He has a father.
Jonathon: Since when.
Serena: Since this morning.
Jonathon: Who?
Serena: See that man over there.
Jonathon: Yeah
Serena: Darien, I'd like you to meet Jonathon Nesbith
Darien: Hello
Jonathon is dumbfounded
Jonathon: Hello
Serena: Jonathon, Darien Shields. My husband of eight long years and father of my two children.
Jonathon: Eight years, two children?
Serena: Yes
Jonathon: Are you pregnant again?
Serena: No, My daughter is eight and my son is 4
It sounded so good to Darien to address him as her husband and father of her children.
Jonathon: How did no one know of this?
Serena: Jonathon, I have work to do, I don't have time to answer your stupid questions. Besides, It wasn't like you were in love with me. Now please leave.
Jonathon walks dazedly out the door and tells his news to the first person he comes across.
Serena: At least that will get him off my back. But now I'll be the talk of the office.
Darien: I'm sorry
Serena: It's not your fault, besides, did you see the look on his face. Talk about hilarious! We should get down to Tom's office. Thomas Harris is the Commissioner of cases that happened 10-40 years ago. Even though there wasn't a case about my death, he'll be able to help us by getting access to the cemetery. Besides, this kind of case will intrigue him.
Serena knocks on his office door and goes in pulling Darien by his hand. Darien's hand was very warm and Serena didn't want to let go. 'What are you doing Serena' Thought Serena. She dropped his hand.
Serena: Hello Tom, I think I have a case you won't want to pass up.

Three days later.

Serena watched as the men pulled her casket from the ground. Darien squeezed her hand as the men pried the lid off. Serena leaned over to peer inside but all she found was tattered dress that was almost gone and a ring turned orange from aging.
Serena: If someone was buried at 20 eight years ago, there would be more left than that. This was a fraud.
