Don't let me be the last to Know!
Part 6!
He just sat there, waiting for her to wake up, waiting to know the fate of his future, the fate of their love. As that night replayed in his mind, the night he let his feelings consume him, he wished he could regret it but he couldn't. He would never regret it, for he did only was he heart told him, what they did was not a act of two bodies meshing together but of passion, soul and love. He looked in to her eyes the whole time not wanting to miss one look of her, he took it slow so time could melt away from them and when it was all over he held her so tight against him, his heart, mind and soul shook with prue joy and happiness. To know true bliss was that night. But that was the only time and last time they made love.
Darien, was of course a man of honor, so in his opinion he wished they would of waited until they were married so he decided that it wouldn't happen again until they were married. Serena wanted to do it more but he said it was not proper especially since she was fifteen, she would only reply with "Darien, what about that night?, huh? I was fifteen then". But he would change the subject and then it would be all forgotten until the next time they were alone. In the end after she stop asking him, he figured she gave up on the subject.
So as he sat there staring in to space, a knock on the door broke his train of thought. He unhooked himself from her. He slowly rose and kissed her hand, placed it back on her stomach and walked towards the door. He walked like a being with-out a soul, he didn't care about anything or anyone at this moment except for Serena. He reached for the cold metal handle and slowly opened the door to discover the little cotton candied hair girl staring back up at him.
Rini jumped on to Darien's leg and started to cry. Darien was frozen in the spot. He forgot about her being in hospital still. He looked at the young girl, her face all red and her nose runny. Her eyes were so cloudy and were as slick as glass. Reached down and picked her up and cradled her in to his arms. He forgot his problem just for a couple minutes, trying to comfort his daughter. Rubbing her hair and back, thinking about what he would say to her,
"It's ok, I am here,.... I am not leaving,... Shhhh, It's ok", he whispered into her ear, rocking her back and forth. Soon she was quiet but she still held on tight to his shirt. They just stood there, not a word, just silence, holding each other.
"Daddy.... Mommy's parents are here...", she whispered to break the silence, "They would like to see her now". Darien nodded his head and walked back over to Serena with Rini still in his arms. He leaned down to her forehead and kissed it. He then whispered something so quiet, Rini couldn't hear it but she knew he had said something. She again tugged on the man's shirt.
"I want to kiss mommy too", she said with tears again. Darien looked at her, and then smiled.
"Of course", he said. He held on to her as she leaned down and placed a kiss on her mother's cheek. Rini looked at Serena and then with her tiny fingers touched her lips and then spoke .
"I will be waiting for you mommy, no matter what, I am waiting for you", she smiled through her tears. She leaned back up to Darien and looked into to his eyes. Darien had never seen her act like this before. He was so touched. He took his hand and held her cheek, smiling.
"Oh Mommy! Don't forgot Daddy's waiting too", she said whipping head back around to her mother. She then turned back around and hugged Darien. As he walked to the door in a slow pace again. As he grab the handle of the door, he turned to Serena and quietly whispered, "Yes, I am waiting too".
As they walked down the hall he saw Serena's parents walking towards them. Darien didn't want to deal with the way her father might react about the baby so he hid in a room until they had passed. Her mother was crying in to her father's shoulder but her father look straight on like a rock he didn't show any emotion. They took little steps and held each other tight. They were like walking zombies, mentally un-stable and pale. Darien had never seen anyone this heart broken in his life before. His heart broke for them as they reached the door to Serena's crypt and watch her mother scream as her husband slowly opened the door. Eileen ran though the door to her daughter and broke down farther in to Serena side. Ken just turned and closed the door to have their privacy.
Darien could feel that sicken feeling crawl back up to his throat but before he could react, Rini started to whimper again in his arms. He looked down at her. She must of fallen a sleep in his arms but even in her dreams, she cried out. Darien's began to feel his tars fall again. "No I can't... I have to be strong, Rini and Serena are counting on me...but it is so hard", Darien said angrily through his bitter-salty tears. Rini began to whimper louder. Darien rocked his daughter back and forth until she was quiet and then started to walk out of the room in a daze.
Everything seem pointless now, all he had to do was tell her he truly loved her. All he had to do was speak from the heart, was that to hard to do? No one knew the fight he had with-in himself. He had to be strong and protect her but every time he saw her his knees weaken and every time she was in danger he would panic. Wouldn't anyone understand him and what he had to fight? Every time he was even close to telling her, something pulled him back in.
Darien again walked by the old woman's room and saw that her husband was still at her side. He was just smiling and holding her hand. It was faint but Darien could hear the old man's words. It was I love you..I love you...I love you over and over again. It was like their love lit the whole room up. Darien just smiled and said a little prayer for the woman and continued to walk down to the hall.
At the end of the hall was the male nurse that had helped him when he first arrived. "Thank you for everything", Darien said as reached out his hand carefully trying not to wake Rini. The man just smile and shook Darien's hand. Darien smiled back. He headed toward the elevator to go and talk to the girls about everything, how Serena is doing, to the baby she was going to have. He walked in to the elevator and pressed the 1st floor. This elevator was gold plated and shined everywhere. It played Like a Rose by A1 really softly (I recommend you get this song it is a great pick me upper) as the Darien watch the floors slowly go down. He had caught himself humming the song.
As if the song was speaking to his heart and soul, he thought of all the things that Serena and her love for him had done to his empty life. How he grew into the brave person he was now. How she was always there to wipe away his tears from past to the shoulder rub while he study. She wouldn't give up on him so he wasn't going to give up on her. He some how found this new found faith inside himself that everything was going to be all right, their love was going to be alright.
As the elevator dinged, he was bought back to this reality and looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms. "Everything will be ok, or you wouldn't still be here", he whisper in to young girl ear as he softly placed a butterfly kiss on her cheek. Rini snuggled closer in to his chest and smiled.
As he walked out of the elevator, he saw the girls. Before he could even say hi, they all rushed over to him. Mina took Rini from his arms and looked down at her. "She looks so much like her doesn't she?",she said with such a gentle voice. Darien nodded his head to her while grasping Rini's little hand.
"Enough..... how is she?", Raye stated bluntly but with sorrow in her voice. Darien was first startled with Raye's sudden act of impatience. She was to be a priestess, she was suppose to be the calm and collected one. But Serena was her best friend and no one could be that calm in this situation. Amy and Lita held each other waiting for his answer.
"Rini's still here isn't she?", he smiled at them. But there is still that little touch of worry in his voice. All the girls just stared at him with blank faces. Lita just nodded her head but through her tears she quickly left Amy's arms into Darien's. Darien a little surprised then hugged Lita back. These girls need her as much as he need her. But before he could get another word out of his mouth and blood curdling scream echoed through out the hospital's thin walls. People stopped in their tracks trying to figure out where it came from. Darien looked at Mina.
"Get Rini out of here now!', He bellowed as he pointed to a doorway leading to the back of the hospital. Mina was about to open her mouth to disagree with him but this was his child and you never argue with a parent over the safety of their child.
Mina never ran as fast as she did then. Her legs were turning into jelly as she carried the extra weight. Mina had never seen such a large crowd before, whatever was going on was not good, not at all. Mina looked behind her. There was a crowd of at least 100 people running behind, panicking and screaming. All of a sudden she was engulfed by the herd of people. Terror shook her body. She and Rini were going to be trampled. But then she thought of Serena laying in the bed upstairs, when she wakes up she would want to see her daughter, alive. As she dove sideways to get past the crowd in her way, she pushed people with all the strength she had. All of the bumping and hitting woke young Rini up.
"What-t-t-t's going on? Where is Darien?", asked Rini, as she stared backed in to Mina's frighten eyes. Mina just shouted at to get her head down. Rini started shake all over as she buried her head in to Mina's body. People were yelling and running into them. Rini was scared. This was worst then the time when the NegaVerse tried to take over Crystal Tokyo and scared mobs of people ran everywhere. Next thing she knew Mina was tripped and was laying on the floor. Mina tried to cover Rini's body with her own. Rini's eyes water as she heard Mina's screams of pain and people step and kicked her.
"Mina!! Are you ok? What's going on?", Rini cried to the wounded solider. Mina didn't answer. She gritted her teeth and tried to bear the pain. The pain. She had never felt a pain like this before. It felt like a thousand knives stabbing her at once in every direction. The pain was almost sicken. But she had to protect this young princess from dangerous, as a duty of a scout, as the duty of a friend. She could her little Rini's sobs and frighten yells from under neath her. The next she knew was her head was hit by something. The blood from her head trickled down her face, down her neck on to the floor. It began to stream faster. Dark crimson blood.
Mina pasted out from the blow. Rini felt something warm on her hand. As she pulled her hand to her face she discovered it was blood. Rini screamed such a terrifying scream it shook the people around her. Her heart speed up with so much built up emotion. She thought she was going to have a heart attack. Her tears started to mingle with Mina's Blood. Rini began to pound on Mina's chest trying to revive her. Rini yelled Mina's name over and over. She felt the people on top of then walking Mina's limp body against her own. Suddenly Mina was lifted off Rini. Rini covered herself, she hid her head with her hands, thinking she was now going to die by being trampled..
"MOMMY! DADDY!", she cried into the air. Her body trembled with fear. She could hear people running all around her. But she was not getting stepped on. She was lifted into the air by someone. She didn't dare look, she buried her face in to who ever had her. Who ever it was made her feel safe. Darien! He must of heard her and came to her recuse. As Rini covered her face, she felt more pushing and pulling as they were trying get through the crowd. Then it stop. There was no more bumping, no more pushing and all the screaming lessened. Rini's breathing was slowing down. She knew she was safe. She looked up to thank Darien. But it wasn't him. Red eyes stared up at light blue ones.
