The Story Of Us
DC: I don't own Sailor Moon
Chapter 8
Serena unlocked the door with her free hand while she carried her sleeping child with her other. She felt good to be home away from Darien Shields. She knew she should have never gotten involved with him but I guess she hoping against hope that he was different. But I guess she was wrong. She was lucky though that she hadn't taken Rini to meet him. She sat at her desk and laid her head in her hands. She felt like the world was against her. She wanted to cry but couldn't bring herself to do it. She flicked the TV on and a burger king commercial was on. Normally she would have felt hungry but right now she wanted to puke at the site of the whopper. She had a feeling she knew where this nausea was coming from. She didn't need an E.P.T. to tell her what was wrong. "Not again" said Serena as she ran to the bathroom.
"Is Rita there?" asked Serena
"Hold on" said Andrew
"Hello" said Rita
"Hey Rita" said Serena
"Serena? What's wrong?" said Rita
"I let him do it to me again" said Serena
"Serena what are you saying?" Asked Rita
"I think I'm pregnant" said Serena
"Are you sure?" asked Rita
"All the signs are there" said Serena
"Oh Serena. What are you gonna do?" asked Rita
"I don't know. I can't do this again. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't the same man. I feel like those whores who have seven kids and never seen a diamond ring." Said Serena
"You are not a whore" said Rita
"I know I feel like one" said Serena
"You are gonna have to tell him this time" said Rita
"How?" said Serena
"Darien, I'm pregnant. What do you mean how? You just tell" said Rita
"He's already has a baby on the way. He told me he loved me and I believed him" said Serena
"I'll adopt your baby. I can't have children." Said Rita
"Maybe I'll let you do that" said Serena
"Is he married" asked Rita
"Yes" said Serena
"Look, I'll talk to Andrew. He'll want to adopt your baby. But if don't want to go through with the pregnancy then I'll get him to make you an appointment." Said Rita
"No I told you last time I would never commit abortion" said Serena
"Well I have to go" said Rita
"Ok. Bye" said Serena
"Bye" said Rita
Serena hung up the phone and laid her head down and cried herself to sleep.
Later back in NYC
Darien woke up that morning with a serious hangover. He looked the covers to find he was naked. He heard muffled voices. Well there was really only one voice but he heard two. He slowly got up a looked through the crack in the door to find Ann on the phone.
"He's not the father, you are" said Ann to Alan "He doesn't know and he's not going to know. Alan you are the father of this baby. When I slept with Darien we used protection and I know he's not the daddy. You are the only one it could be. Don't scream at me. Fuck you Alan. He can give my baby the kind of love it needs." Ann slams down the phone and heads in the bathroom to take a shower.
"What have I done" said Darien
As fast as he could he got dressed and headed down to the courthouse to get his 14-hour marriage annulled.
When Darien got back Ann had cooked lunch. She had his place spic and span.
"Hello darling. I was wondering where you were at" said Ann
Darien throws the papers on the table
"What's this. Annulment??!" asked Ann
"It was a mistake" said Darien
"Our baby was a mistake too" asked Ann
"Wrong. Your baby" said Darien
"Are you feeling ok" asked Ann
"I've never been better" said Darien
"What are you talking about" asked Ann
"I heard your little phone conversation" said Darien
Ann gasps
"Yeah that's not my baby" said Darien
"You don't understand. I had to tell him I was pregnant with his baby so that he leave me alone so that I can be with you" said Ann
"Too late. Now sign the damn papers or I'll take this to court" said Darien
"But my baby needs daddy. I thought you were the one. I guess not. I'll find someone else" said Ann
"Yeah whatever" said Darien "Just please sign the papers and leave"
"Here. Well it was nice even though it didn't last. I hope you get what you are looking for" said Ann
When she is gone Darien calls the airline.
"I need a flight going to Chicago tonight" said Darien
"We have only one seat in first class. It's $2,387" said The Flight Attendent
"I'll take it" said Darien as he hangs up the phone. "I'll just figure out how to pay for it later"
He picks up the phone again
"Hello" said Mina
"Mina thank God. I need your help" said Darien
"No Darien you are an asshole." Said Mina
"No I know I made a few mistakes" said Darien
"A few" asked Mina
"I need your help to fix them" said Darien
"What do you need?" asked Mina
"An address. Serena's address in Chicago. I made a mistake. I love her and I don't want to lose her again" said Darien
"We did this last time and it didn't work" said Mina
"I'm not sending a letter. I'm going to beg her for forgiveness" said Darien
"You are going to Chicago" said Mina
"Yes. Look Mina I can find her myself but my plane leaves in an hour and you can help me get there" said Darien
"Ok you seem desperate enough hey wait what about our wife and the baby" asked Mina
"She's not my wife and it's not my baby" said Darien
"Thank God. I thought Serena was gonna die of happiness and then kill herself from sadness. She needs you. Here is her address: Apartment B, The Second floor of the Haworth Building on 35 Film Street. I have to go. My dad is coming." Said Mina
"Thanks Mina" said Darien. He had a plane to catch.
Back in ChicagoSerena was woken by a distinctive knock on her door. And it wouldn't go away. Clad only in her silk night gown she answered the door.
"Darien!" said Serena
"Please don't shut the door in my face." Said Darien
"Why shouldn't I?" asked Serena
"Because I made a mistake" said Darien
"I'm listening" said Serena
"First of all I was drunk. I saw you with another man and I flipped. Ann was pressuring me into marriage and that night I was drunk enough to listen to her. But I had it annulled this morning" said Darien
"What about your baby" asked Serena
"It's not mine. Um Alan Parrish is the father" said Darien
"Alan!" said Serena
"Serena I love you" said Darien
"Well this is" said Serena as she placed his hand on her belly
"Huh" said Darien
"I'm pregnant again" said Serena
"My baby is inside you" said Darien
"Well it's not a baby yet but it will be" said Serena
"I love you so much" said Darien
"Not so fast. You have to promise me no more screw ups" said Serena
"Well I can't promise you that I'll never make another mistake but I can promise you that I will always be there. And that if you let me be a part of this family that I will always love you and if you don't well I'll still love you" said Darien
"Oh Darien. I will always love you. No matter what you do, you always special in my heart." Said Serena
"Oh Serena I'm so glad-" started Darien
"Darien" said Serena
"Yes love" asked Darien
"Shut up and kiss me" said Serena
"Anything for you" said Darien as he wrapped his arms around her little waist and lifted her so that her lips were even with his. Now if you've ever seen Where The Heart Is then you will know what I'm talking about and if not well I'll try to explain it. Well Ok they are kissing in the hallway and then the camera zooms in and the rooms starts to spin and then the camera starts to zoom out and they are their wedding. Well that's how I want this to end.
At The Alter
"I do" said Serena and Darien and they made their first kiss as husband and wife.
"It's about time" said Mina and the whole room laughs.
The End
AN: I'm not good at endings. Sorry. Well you see that there is always hope and that Darien got his family back and that Serena got her happy ending. They live in NYC down the street from Mina and they are raising their son, David, together as it should be. Aaahh! Don't you love happy endings!!! Well I'm off to start on a new story. If you think I should redo this ending, well tell me but give some ideas too! Bye
Ok. Bunnicula03. I like your review and I Like your ideas but I'd written the chapter before I read it so I wanted to go ahead and post it. Maybe I'll redo it later but I want to go ahead and let people read and comment on this. And I couldn't put Serena put Serena with anyone but Darien. That's just not how my stories work. If Darien or Serena is with someone else they are gonna get together unless I'm really mad and they may get together but won't stay together. Who knows maybe one day I'll change but for now I'm a Serena and Darien kind of person. Bye!!
