Chapter 25
In answer to a question yeah Darien knows he Tuxedo mask and the whole situation he just doesn't remember that one night where he found out.
Josh stood in front of Serena with a tissue for her, she smiled and took it and blew her nose.
"Thanks Josh." she said
"What's a babe like you doing out here all alone, dressed like that?" he asked charmingly, Serena blushed.
"Do you think you could walk me home?" she asked innocently, Josh smiled and held out his hand for Serena, she hesitated for a moment,
'I really wish this was Darien that was offering me his hand.' she thought mildly, she took his hand and they started to walk back to Serena's or at least that was there intentions…

Darien sat on the couch, his head buried in his hands
"Serena where are you?" he asked himself in frustration, he had gotten home maybe an hour ago, he had told Katie he loved somebody else, he decided to tell Serena so he stopped by the store and bought her a bouquet of flowers but she wasn't home when he got there, it was almost 1 am and he was regretting leaving her at the dance.
'What if she did something stupid? She can be very emotional, especially now with the pregnancy.' he though
"What have I done?" he asked himself, why did he have to see Katie, he could have just blown her off; Serena meant way more to him than Katie so why'd he leave her? Darien heard a giggle from the other side of the door; he got up to see what was going on, when he opened it he saw Serena, and Josh kissing!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Darien's POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I opened the door and saw them, I couldn't believe it, and Serena automatically sensed my presents and pulled away from the kiss. She looked guilty but she tried hiding it.
"Hey Dare." she said
"Josh you want to come in?" she asked him, Josh reluctantly agreed after seeing my anger but Serena convinced him and they sat down to hot chocolate. I made up some stupid excuse that I was making some dinner and had to stay and wait for it to be done
"Don't want it to burn." I remember myself saying but Serena saw threw it.
"Josh why don't you wait here while I go get that movie I was talking about, it's actually in my closet, I haven't fully finished unpacking." she said, Josh agrees and Serena disappeared into the bedroom, I took this time as my opportunity to get rid of him
"Hey Josh, I got to give you credit." I said, Josh looked at me, he clearly wasn't following me and that's exactly what I wanted.
"I mean by seeing Serena." I said
"What is there something wrong with her?" Josh asked, I celebrated in my mind that Josh didn't know, I had never felt so jealous and I didn't like the feeling so I intended to get rid of the source…Josh.
"No, well there's nothing wrong with her, I just meant, I never imagined you dating her because of her CONDITION." I said,
"What condition?" Josh asked
"You mean she didn't tell you!" I said as I pretending to be surprised, I knew I was going to regret this but I didn't care,
"Serena' pregnant." I said simply, Josh's eyes actually bugged out and his jaw opened when, he finally got a hold of himself he asked me who the father was and I told him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Serena's POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I finally found the movie and prepared to open the door when I heard Darien and Josh talking, I slightly opened the door the hear the conversation
"So you mean to tell me, Serena' pregnant with your child??!?" Josh asked Darien and he nodded yes! I was never so mad in my whole life, I was snapped out of my daze by the sound of the door to the hallway outside slamming, my anger grew even more, I ran out into the living room/kitchen,
"Darien what do you think your doing?!?!" I screamed
"What?" he said, so he decided to play dumb did he?
"You know perfectly well! I heard you telling Josh! How dare you!" I yelled at the top of my lungs
"Serena the guy wasn't right for you." Darien said
"Why don't you stay out of my business I don't need you!" I yelled, I saw the hurt in his eye's but I didn't care
"Serena, I'm sorry but I just couldn't see you with Josh… it would have been a mistake." he said quietly, I became a little more sympathetic,
"Darien, if we weren't a good pair why didn't you just tell me? It's my life and I have to live it the way I think is best." I said
"Serena, I don't want you to make a mistake like that, one that could change your life!" he said
"Darien if I make the mistake, it's my mistake, I mean I already made a BIG mistake with you." I said, I realized I had really hurt him this time and tried to apologize but he pushed me away,
"Darien you have to let me live my own life. What was the real reason you scared Josh away?" I asked him, he suddenly got very defensive.
"The 'Real Reason'? That is the real reason! What you think I'm jealous it that it?!?" He yelled, I suddenly got mad
"Yes as a matter of fact I do! But I don't understand why, you have Katie! You could have any girl, it's not like you can't get a girl." I said, Darien face paled, for some reason I didn't think that he was jealous because he didn't have someone, could it be possible he his feeling were reciprocal to mine? He knew I was thinking this and got very mad, he didn't say anything he just disappeared into the bedroom, I followed him and saw he had a suitcase, he packed maybe clothes for a week at the most.
"What are you doing?" I asked him, he looked at me coldly,
"We need time apart, I'm sick of these stupid fights almost every night, it you need me, and I'll be at Andrews." he said before he left, though Andrew's apartment was on the same floor I felt like Darien was mile's away. I sunk to the floor and started crying uncontrollably.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Darien's POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Though it hurt to leave Serena, even for the night I couldn't let her find out I had feeling's for her, I gave some stupid excuse about fight's to leave, Andrew welcomed me in and agreed to let me stay, I just couldn't face Serena so a week as I had said to her turned into about 2 or 3 weeks. I knew I had responsibilities to her but I couldn't handle all those emotions right then, I just need time to try to get over her. I saw her occasionally, she had gained more weight and was about 5 mouths pregnant, I wanted to be with her but I need time to think, I needed her but I had to learn to live without her, because as much as I wanted, she wouldn't be living with me forever, by the time I decided to comeback I despised myself for what I had done, though Serena didn't, she welcomed me back with open arms, she was so happy to see me and I her we were almost inseparable for almost a week.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So you broke if off with Katie?" Serena asked Darien, he nodded
"Why?" she asked
"Because of that girl I was telling you about, remember the girl I though I was in love with." Darien said, Serena nodded
"So what do you want to do tonight? It is a Friday night; want to go out to dinner?" Darien asked her
"You go out, I haven't been able to keep anything down except pasta, go out and have fun." Serena said
"No, I told the guys no tonight, come one I was planning on doing something with you, something special, I feel bad, the baby's been keeping you up all night this past week, Serena smiled and rubbed her round stomach,
"You're sweet." She said
"Why don't you invite your friend's over and I'll pick up some movie to watch?" Darien asked her, Serena agreed and called the girls, who were going to sleep-over, Darien picked up some scary movies and pizzas and an order of pasta for Serena of course.
"So Darien is Serena keeping you up at night or are you sleeping like a log?" Lita asked
"Errrrr, both I guess sometimes I'm just too tiered but other's I'll stay with her," Darien said all the girl's went "Awwwwww"
"Quit it!" Serena whined
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Darien's POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I heard Serena whine for the girl's to stop I smiled, maybe are time apart was a good thing, I mean it made me realize I couldn't get over Serena and that I loved her, even though she still didn't know I was more affectionate to her.
"So what are you two doing for Christmas?" Amy asked us
"We might spend it with Andrew and Lizzie, his sister." Serena said
"Well you guys could always come over for Christmas dinner if you want." Lita offered, she didn't have any family ether, I knew how she felt, I remembered all those lonely holiday's, alone in my apartment.
"Sounds good." I said
"Yeah, why don't you sleep over for Christmas eve?" Serena asked, Lita agreed,
"You guys can too if you want. Bring your families" I offered the girls, the girls said they'd ask there parent's
"So find out if it's a boy or girl?" Mina asked,
"No, we decided we want to be surprised." Serena said, suddenly she grasped her stomach in pain,
"Serena?" I asked in concern all the girls crowded around Serena
"Ow." was all Serena said
"What is it?" Amy asked
"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" I asked, she agreed and the girls and I took Serena to the hospital, we waited in the waiting room, finally a doctor came out,
"Is Serena ok?" the girls and I asked in union
"Yes Serena's fine." the doctor said you could tell she was knew to the place, she was the new assistant Serena and my doctor, Doctor Peterson
"Can I see her?" I asked, the girl nodded and I went in to see Serena
"Hey." I said as I opened the door, Serena was sitting in an examination room, her clothes were on, she wasn't wearing those paper gown, she was in her PJ's
"Hey. They said they were called Broxton kicks contraction's of something." she said, just then the assistant came in
"So everything's ok?" Serena asked
"Yes." the assistant said
"And the baby's fine?" I asked as I rubbed Serena' stomach.
"Yes, she's fine." the assistant said, wait did she just said she?
"She?!?!" Serena said excitedly
"Oh that's right; you didn't want to know the sex of the baby. Uh could you not tell Doctor Peterson?"
"We're having a girl!" I said excitedly
"No…….." the assistant said trying to cover up
"Don't worry! We'll tell the doctor we asked you!" Serena said
"Then Yes Your having a girl." she said before she left
