Chapter# 12
~*~Staying Or Going? ~*~

"Well Serena what is your decision?" Her mother asked impatiently. "I am going with you." Serena said as she ran up stairs to gather her things.

'I should leave a note for Darien.' She thought as she grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.

Dear Darien,

I love you dearly, but I am going with my mother. I really need the help with Rini. It is only a temporary thing. I am going because my mother is right, I am asking too much of you to help with Rini, even though she is yours. I would rather leave before you get tired of being a dad and leave the baby and me behind. I'm sorry, but I have to do this.
Love you always,
Serena

Serena put the mote on the bed and took her bags down stairs. "I'm ready mother." She said looking at her mother. Serena got Rini into the car and she left.

~*~ Meanwhile ~*~

"Serena, are you here?" Darien asked as he searched the rooms frantically. 'Maybe she went out to lunch with her mom.' He thought to himself. Darien went into his bedroom to change. It took him awhile, but he eventually saw the letter.

"What could this be?" He said as he picked up the letter. He read the letter. As he read tears trailed down his face. "How could she leave me? How will I live without her?" He said to himself.

He went downstairs and saw the girls at the kitchen table. He told them about the letter. "Oh my gosh, how could she leave?" The girls said in a chorus. "I don't know, but I have an idea that it had to do with a nasty trick her mother played to get her and the baby." He suggested. The girls all agreed.

Darien called Serena's mom's house, but nobody answered. Darien slammed the phone down. "How can she just take them away like that?" He said angrily. Darien decided to go talk to Andrew to calm down a bit.

Darien was at Andrew's door. "Andrew answer the door, I know you are there." He said as he banged on the door. Andrew answered the door about two minutes later. "Hey what's all the commotion about?" He said looking very sleepy. "Sorry to wake you, but I have to talk to somebody. Serena went to her mother's house to raise the baby." "Oh Darien I'm really sorry. Why don't you come inside for awhile?" Andrew said making a path for Darien.

They talked for a while and ordered pizza and drank a few beers. About 1 o'clock Darien had passed out on the couch and Andrew had gone to sleep in his bed. The girls were worried about Darien; he had been really upset when he heard about Serena. Rae decided that Serena knew what she was doing and knew Darien would be hurt, so Serena was the worst person according to her.

The next morning Amy got up very early and called Serena's mom's house. Her dad answered the phone. " Hello." He said. "Hi, is Serena there?" She asked politely. "Yes one moment." "Hello." Serena said as she answered the phone. "Serena, this is Amy. I wanted to tell you that I think you made a big mistake. You tore Darien apart when he read that you had left with Rini." Amy informed her. "I know that he is upset, but I belong here with my mom and dad. My mother could teach and help me so much. I am going to come back in a few months." "In a few months the baby will be so different, Darien won't even recognize his daughter. Rini will grow faster than you think, and when you are about to leave your mother will talk you into staying a little bit longer and before you know it Rini will be turning one years old." Amy said trying to convince Serena.

"I know you are right Amy, but I am so weak I can't be a mother by my self." She said. "You won't be by yourself, you'll have Darien and all of us." She said.
