Chapter #9
~*~ Decisions ~*~
Serena was still at the door realizing that Chad was actually at her house. "Please come in and sit down." Serna said inviting him inside. "I'm sorry for just barging in on you like this. I see that there have been some changes in your life since I left." He said to Serena looking at her huge stomach.
Serena and Chad sat on the couch, both of them were very nervous. "So what have you been doing in your life Chad?" "Well I traveled for a bit. But I never stopped thinking of you. I regret leaving you Serena. I still love you." He said as he grabbed her hand. "Chad, I still think of you too, but you really broke my heart when you left. And besides why would you want to be with a pregnant ex-girlfriend anyways." "Serena is the father still around?" But before Serena could answer Chad spoke again. "Serena we could raise the baby together. As if it was our own.
'Chad was my first love we belonged together. Do we still belong together? What about Darien?' Serena thought to herself.
"Listen Chad I'll need some time to think about this. Is that ok?" Serena asked him. "Of course. Call me when you decide. Here's my cell number." He said walking to the door. "Oh yeah Serena, when is the baby due?" He said when he reached the door. "She is due in about two months, on March 25th."
After Darien and the girls got home from school Serena asked for the Amy, Lita, Rae, and Mina to meet her in the backyard. Serena told them about Chad showing up and telling her he wanted to start a life with her. "Are you going to go with him?" Asked an anxious Mina. "Yeah are you gonna go with him, or stay with the FATHER of your baby?" Rae yelled to Serena since she knew Serena should stay with Darien.
"Well I told Chad that I would need to think about it. I mean he was my first love, we both thought we were meant to be together. But ever since Darien I think that Chad and I were meant to brake up, so I could be with the person I truly love." Serena explained to the others.
"Have you told Darien about this?" Amy asked. "No of course not, it would hurt him deeply and I love him too much to tell him." "That's your answer Serena, you love Darien to much too hurt him. Don't you think leaving him for Chad will hurt him?" Rae said proving Amy's point.
'I know that they are right, but I just can't help but think that it would be a mistake not to see what life is like with Chad.' Serena thought to herself as the others talked about the situation.
Serena went inside the house and sat on the couch next to Darien. He saw that something was bothering her. "Serena is there something wrong?" He asked Serena as he started to massage her shoulders. "Well it's just that… oh it's nothing Darien. Do you love me?" She asked him stopping him from rubbing her shoulders. "Of course I love you Serena. Other wise I wouldn't have stayed when you told me you were pregnant." He said trying to reassure her. "You think that will prove you love me, any guy would have stayed with me if I was pregnant! When my ex-boyfriend came over today he wanted to be with me and help raise this baby, even though it wasn't his!!!" Serena yelled at Darien, then went running up the stairs crying.
Darien went up to their room to talk to Serena. "Serena, I'm sorry I said that to you. It was a cheap shot at answering your question. But only because I don't know how to prove my love to you." He said to her. "Darien when Chad came by today he asked if I would give him another chance. He was my first love. When he said he still loved me, my heart melted. I wanted to say that I would go with him, but then there's you. I love you more than life itself. I don't want to wonder all my life if I missed something incredible with Chad." Serena explained to Darien.
"Serena, are you thinking of going with him? Are you going to live with him and raise our child with Chad?" He asked. "Darien I'm not sure what to do, I don't want to take our baby from you. I'm not sure if I still love Chad." "But you ARE sure that you love me, and I'm sure that I love you. And what about our baby, would I even see her if you were with Chad?"
"Darien I am going to call Chad tomorrow and I'm going to ask him to lunch so we can talk about what might happen if I decided to be with him." Serena said as she held Darien's hand. "Ok, well I'm going to get ready for bed then." Darien said as he kissed Serena on her forehead.
Serena went down to the kitchen and the girls were waiting at the table to hear what happened. "Well, you guys probably won't have to worry about me leaving with Chad." Said Serena to the anxious girls. "Why is that? What happened between you and Darien?" Lita asked. "Well I saw that Darien loved me and the baby more than anything else in the world and I fell the same way. But I'm still meeting with Chad tomorrow to find out what would happen if I were to be with him." She said as she searched the fridge for food to snack on.
~*** The Next Day ***~
Serena arrived at the promenade and saw Chad sitting at a table waiting for her. She walked over to him and sat down. "So Serena have you given it any thought." He asked her. "I have thought about it. What did you have planned for us, and what would you do when it was time for the baby to come?" She asked him. "Well, I thought that we could go back down to Chiba where I have a house. And now that I found out you are pregnant, well I guess I would just play it as it comes." He said not sure of himself. "Chad you can't play a baby's life as it comes by you. You have to plan everything, what would you do when she finally came on March 25th?" She asked wanting to know his answers. "Well there is a hospital just down the street and… and…" "Chad are you ready to sacrifice your sleep when the baby cries all night, are you ready to change diapers that will make you gag and cringe? Well I'm not sure if I am even ready for that. Are you ready to be there, holding my hand every second that I'm screaming my head off while I'm having this baby?" She asked deciding then and there she was staying with Darien.
"Listen Serena I can probably handle it all. I have a lot of little siblings." "Chad I'm going to answer this question for you. You aren't ready for this baby and neither am I, so I am going to stay with Darien because I know he can handle it better than you." Serena said as she sat up from her chair.
