Five years later Serenity gazed out from a bedroom window on her pink-
haired daughter playing in the garden chasing the orange butterflies. She
sighed when the little girl fell and scraped her knee. She ran down the
stairs and out the door.
"Oh Rini!" She picked the girl up and blew on her knee gently. "Does this help?"
"Yes," the little girl said between sobs. She cried into her mothers chest.
"You'll be fine honey. Look a butterfly is helping." A butterfly had landed on the little girl's knee. "Wow," Rini said a look of amazement and wonder on her face. The sunlight streamed in through the trees and surrounded the two. Serenity's blonde hair shined golden as it surrounded her like a halo. The little girl's long hair shone as bright as crystal and curled on the ends.
A golden carriage pulled up in front of the garden gate shattering the beautiful moment. A dark haired man stepped out and stared in amazement at the beautiful pair.
"Who's that mommy?" The small child said.
"No one," her mother said coldly. "He's no one at all." She sat the child down and turned towards the house.
"Serenity please wait."
Serenity did not stop as she shooed the child inside. "Rini why don't you go play in your room. I'll be up in a second with lunch."
"Okay mommy." The girl said and ran off.
The woman shut the door and turned around to face the Prince.
"Endymion," she said bitterly. "Forgive me if I don't let you in. I don't like my children under bad influences."
Endymion knew it was coming and tried to shrug it off. "Serenity I came because I need to talk to you."
"I knew that. The question is about what."
"Well you see I married Raye."
Serenity snorted, "You think I didn't know?"
"Let me finish. And we found out that she's... well she can't have a baby."
"Oh how horrible," Serenity said in mock sadness.
"Raye's shattered and I'm regretting coming here, but I had to. It's about our daughter-"
"My daughter and her name is Rini."
"Anyway she's the only heir to the Earth's throne."
"Oh no. That's not going to happen! She used to be the only heir to the Moon's throne too remember? I'm not having my daughter put into the stress of being a princess. Especially when her mother is a nobody peasant. I almost made a mistake five years ago by trying to drag her into that life. She's not going to go through that."
"Serenity she has to! She's the only one left!"
"No she's not." Serena said. "There is someone else, but you're not going to meet him either. Especially when he's sick." Serenity got a frightened look on her face and hurried to her home and up the stairs leaving the door open in her hurry.
She went into the bedroom she'd recently been in and looked down at the pale faced boy. "Oh Darien I'm sorry I left you."
The boy only nodded in reply. Luna was by his side purring softly and keeping him warm. She took his hand and stroked his head. "Are you feeling better?" The boy nodded again, but was looking past her to the doorway where the Prince stood. "Honey mommy will be back soon okay?"
"Okay," the boy managed to squeak in a small voice.
Serenity joined Endymion in the hallway shutting the door behind her.
"Is that my son?" He said barely believing it.
"Unfortunately for him yes. They were twins born only seconds apart. They are none of your business and you won't take them away from me. Not now, not ever."
"I'm not here to take them away from you."
"Then what are you here for?"
Endymion sighed. "I'm not really sure anymore."
"Then please get out. I need to fix their lunch and he needs to take his tonic."
"Okay. I will be back though."
Endymion left and Serenity watched him leave. "God why is this happening to me?"

Sorry to all you fans of him.)
