[ ~*~*~*~ ] = Flashback

Darien could hardly sleep. He kept thinking about what Ken had said the night before.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ken and Darien were outside the house...
"Darien," Ken said in a calm voice. "I appreciate everything you have done for my daughter. You don't know how much it means to me." He turned to look at her.
Darien could tell he was worried about something.
"Doushita, Ken?"
Ken lowered his head. "I went to the doctor today... To see about Serena's conditions."
"And... What did the doctor say?"
"He..." Ken paused and let out a big sigh. He looked up at Darien and spoke, "He said that there is a possibility that... the baby Serena is carrying might not be born alive..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It had three months since they had that conversation. Serena didn't know it. Nobody had told her the truth. She will probably never know it until it's too late.
"No." Darien quickly changed. He left his apartment, went for his car, and went to Serena's house. He was determined to tell her the truth. She had a right to know...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena woke up with a headache. She slowly got up out of her bed and made her way to the kitchen.
She saw her mother making breakfast. Ilene saw her daughter and smiled. "Morning, sweetie." She noticed Serena was pale... Too pale. "Are you feeling alright, Serena?" she asked as she was up to her.
Serena put a hand on her head and moaned softly.
"Doushita?" Ilene asked worried about her daughter.
"My head hurts..." Serena managed to say.
Ilene put her hands on Serena shoulders. "Do you want me to call the doctor?"
"No... I'm fine. It's just a headache. It'll go away, right?" she looked at Ilene with teary eyes. "It'll go away soon..."
Ilene pulled Serena into her arms and held her tight. "Oh, Serena... How you must be suffering..." She, too, was crying now. "It'll be alright..." she whispered.
Ilene was suddenly pushed back.
"No, it won't." Serena grabbed her head again. The pain was too great. "It won't be alright! I'm going to die!"
Ilene didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Serena put a hand on her belly. "I won't get to see my baby grow..." she said softly.
The doorbell rang, and Ilene quickly went to open.
"Darien? What are you doing here so early?"
"I need to talk to Serena," he said in a serious voice.
"Sure. Come on in." Darien entered and went to the living room. He saw Serena sitting on the couch there.
"Serena..."
She looked up to him. He sat down next to her and held her hand.
At that moment, Ken entered the room. Darien turned to look at him.
"Darien? What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to Serena." He had an expression of determination in his face.
Ken was starting to get worried. "Talk? About what?"
Darien turned back to Serena who was looking at him confused.
"I'm going to tell her the truth."
