TIL' DEATH DO US PART
By, Moon_Angle010
CHAPTER 2
"Death Is Only The Beginning."
It was the
first time I had
noticed just how blood was on those scrubs. "The baby is a little on the
small side, but in
good health, but as for Serena there is some internal bleeding. We tried to
stich it up, but it still seems to be bleeding.I'm sorry Mr. Chiba. " The doctor
paused and looked directly into my eyes " We did
all we could."
His words meant nothing at first, but soon it became clear.
Wen I had realized what his hurtful words meant tears trail down
my cheeks. My joy and happines are replaced with anger and grief.
I could hear the girls sob at the doctors conclusion. I turn away
from the man before me, I guess I didn't want him to see my tears.
"Please, don't be ashamed of your tears." The doctor said sweetly. He was
handsome young man, in his mid 20's, early 30's maybe. He had sandy
brown hair and black eyes. The glasses
he wore made him more sophisticated. "Mr. Sheilds I understad
this is very difficult time for you to cope with, we did all we could to save her
life but unfortunately nothing
worked. Once again we're sorry." I just nod and wipe my eyes with the
heel of of my hand. "Please hang
tight, I'll be right back." The doctor added leaving the room.
I wanted to break down and scream my head off, but I had to be strong,
for my angel and for my baby. I hiccup in response to my tears
and sat down .
I could here the girls yelp in tears. Rae had broken down and had a panic
attack. Ami walks up to me, her eyes gleaming with tears.
She tries to speak but words don't escape her mouth, I knew that
if she spoke they would come out in gasps and sobs.
"D-darien..." She finally managed to say. "I'm.." She paused to catch her
strength. But she couldn't, She couldn't control it. And I cried
more just watching her. "SO sorry." She blurted out in sobs. She
circled me in a hug and told me everything was going to be alright. I nodded
and hiccuped and cried continuosly.
Within minutes my name was called again. "Mr. Sheilds?" Slowly I look
, Amy letting me go, to face another doctor, this time a female. The women
held a baby
wrapped in pink blankets. My child. Nothing mattered. "Maybe this'll make you
feel better." The nurses name tag read,
'Leslie Triel' She walks up to me smiling at the small baby girl in her arms.
She holds out my baby for me to hold.I hold the baby and smile weakly. "S-she's is
a little on the small side." I noticed. Tears continue to stream down my face, into my
mouth. Salty tears.
The babies crys stopped almost in an instant.
Reenie lookes up at me with the most beautiful ruby eyes I
had ever seen and I realized that my life was going to change, Forever.
As I held the small mass in my arms I recieve an energetic wave
of comfort.She giggles at me and kicks in my arms.
."I'm sorry." the nurse pats my back and leaves. Everyone walks up to me
and Reenie. "S-She's beautiful." Rae Sobbed. The baby smiled up at the
priestess. "She has Serena's smile."
It wasn't long before Rae broke down into tears again. Amy led her to a
seat across from me "May I
hold her?"Mina sobbed to me. I nod and as soon as the baby leaves my arms,
The loneliness I have is unbearing. Something in me left me with her soul,
Serena's soul.
I would no longer see her face of glory, the dterminaton in her blue eyes, or
the twinkle of her hair.
Nothing, anymore.
The baby smiled and gigled.Mina didn't know wether to cry or
to laugh. She shook her head violently
surrendering to tears. She shoved the baby away from her back toMe.
"Oh God," She cried, "
Serena's gone! she's gone!" "I know ," Amara mumbled pulling Mina
into her arms. Amar didn't cry, or looked un moved by what had happened.
Though as I looked into her eyes I realized
that she too felt the pain of my loss, OUR loss.
We mourned for hours, and for those hours I didn't say one word.
When the pain was to much to handle I decided to go home.
I was allowed to take the baby. Leaving, everyone was apologizing and crying.
When
I got in the car and just stood there looking blanklessly at the road before him.
After what seemed like an hour Darien started up the car and went home.
Serena was gone. no matter hw much I tried I couldn't compute it in my mind.
I was never to feel her kisses amongst my body, I was never
going to here her argue again, see her smile, or just gaze into her eyes.
I would never feel her soul through our kisses, that meant so much.
I would never get the feeling I got when I set her body on fire with pleasure.
It would never happen. I was at such a daze, with millions of thoughts,
I had no idea on how I got home, yet I didn't really care. Grabbing
reenies babyseat I went inside.
For hours I carried Reenie around the house and cried. It was all a
nightmare. I figured. When I'd wake up I'd be snug next to my
Serena, ater endless hours of pleasure. She'd be sneeping soundly
in the world we had spent so long to protect. But in my mind, FAr in
my mind i knew it was impossible. But surely there was a way to have my angel
back with me, to love and to hold, she IS heir of the moon so
how in the hell would she reign over evil and keep peace intact when
she's FUCKING dead!
As the more I thought of it, I was becoming angrier and angrier, at me for not
saving her,
at god for steeling her from me, even at her for leaving me so alone.
When the baby was asleep I placed her in her crib, where she slept
peacefully throughout the rest of night. She didn't seem to know what was
going on. I sit at the corner of our room
ignoring the phone when it rang, or when the door bell had been rung. I sat
their thinking about
my future. Nothing mattered. my joy, happiness and pride had left with my one
true love.
The next thing that matter was the funeral.

"We have gathered here today, to put to rest the beloved soul of Serenity Chiba.
She was a much loved daughter, a loyal friend, an adored wife, and a beloved
mother." I looked around the room, my eyes stung from the many
tears I had cried. I could feel the bags under my eyes. In the room everyone
was dressed in black. All the floweres were
of white and purple. Rae sat beside the girls, they all cried. Kenji and Ikuko
Sat on the
otherside of the church praying. Andrew sat with his twins that had been
born only 3 months before, Angela and Mary were their names, and Reika.
They sat next to me sitting quietly even their daughters were silent
which from my expeirience was VERY rare.
"We will remeber her greatly." The preist continued. "Her personality,
her smile, her acts
of bravey and courage, she will not be forgotten."
Like I usually did, I looked at the baby in my arms. The child that
Serena and I created. It had been 1 week since her death. It was amazing
how my life
had changed in such a short period of time. One minute I was kisisng Serena
the next I was praising her a fareawell.Lofe was weird.
It was hell,I remeber, trying to prepare for this. The sympathy cards just made
it easier
to remeber my loss. "Let us pray with words our father has given us." At once
everyone began to
chant "Our Father, who art in heaven hallow be thy name...." As they all
prayed tears just fell faster.
Once the prayer had ended everyone exclaimed their thoughts and feelings. At
last it was Rae's turn.
They all watched silently Rae approach the alter. Her mysterious purple
eyes held fear and sad ness.
Everyone stayed silent as she spoke.
"Serena and I had been friends for years, since we were little. We had our
share of fights
and moments of glory. When I was down she was their to pick me up,
when I had failed
she was their telling me nver to give up, when it was she who really needed the
advice." Rae
chuckled at the memory "She was lazy and wasn't very reliable... she was MY
best friend.
she made me whole. She was the bravest of the gang, and when she
was needed she was
ALWAYS there. Serena, if you can hear me, I love you, more then a
sister, more then a friend."
Tears fell from my face and everyone elses. At Raes word of memories.
I glanced at my wife whom, laid in a casket beside the alter. Her hair
in its usual style, she wore her princess gown, the one she was suppose to wear
as queen...
She looked perfect, with her makeup, every hair in place and
with the red rose atop her,our symbol of love.
She was still a princess.

The wire creaked and the rain pattered ontop of the
casket. Reenies wails echoed through out
the courtyard. The sky turned to a shade of a darker gray. "Hear
these words My lord, take mercy upon
your servants soul, lead her to your gates of heaven, help her through
the valley of death...."I cried
silently. I wish the preist would stop, Stop it all, he was just reminding, me and
EVERYONE ELSE what was going on. The baby cried
even louder as the preist continued to pray, it was as if she knew what
was happening, that her mommy
was gone, never for her to meet. Slowly the casket began to disappear
beneath the ground.
I pelled a rose from my suit and approached the hole
"My beloved, I love thee." I remarked
throwing the rose on top of the casket where the other roses laid. I stepped back
and listened to the rest of
the ceromny. "Dust to Dust, ashes to ashes, take her and look over us. Dear
father, creator of life, destroyer
of evil. Help us all realize that death is only the beginning."
