Chapter 27:
Raye sat at an empty table in the library, somewhere Serena would never expect.
"Hey Raye." Darien said, Raye smiled at him
"Hey. Listen we need to talk." Raye said as Darien took a seat
"Shoot." Darien said
"It's about you and Serena... Do you want to be with her?" Raye asked, Darien looked away
"Why would I want to be with her?" Darien asked playing dumb,
"Darien you told me 2 months ago you have feelings for her, I've been trying to talk to you about it but you always dodge me, you never stay long enough to talk to me." Raye said
"I didn't know what I was saying, I was upset." Darien said, not taking his eyes off the books scattered on the table. Raye took her hand and grasped his chin so they had eye contact.
"Your eyes where so honest, now there full of lies. Tell me the truth." Raye said
"Raye leave me alone! Stop trying to play matchmaker!" Darien yelled, causing everyone to look at them, Darien walked out, Raye ran after him
"Why don't you want to be happy with Serena? Why are you so scared!?!" Raye yelled as she grabbed his arm, Darien whirled around
"Leave me alone!" Darien yelled
"Answer me! Tell me you like her." Raye said, Darien got his arm free and walked away.

"I ordered Chinese." Serena said as she opened the door
"Hey great, Chinese." Darien said, he walked passed Serena to the paper on the coffee table
"Is something wrong?" Serena asked, she sat on the couch next to him,
"Not really." Darien said
"Sorry. How have you been today?" Darien asked
"Hmm well went to lunch with Molly and Mina, you know those mints they leave out, well I took about hmm well a lot. Well anyways I knocked down the whole basket everyone was staring at me. Then I threw up in the cab, the guy was really mad." Serena said
"Hey, only 2 more months, then you'll be back to your old clumsy self." Darien said
"Yeah… Wait what?!?" Serena said, Darien chuckled
"So what did you do today?" Serena asked, Darien was about to answer but the phone rang
"I'll get it." Serena said as she got up and got the phone
"Hello?" She asked as she leaned against the wall
"Be careful you might break it." Darien joked
"Shut up, no not you Raye, Yeah Darien's here." Serena said
"Raye?" Darien asked, he got up and took the phone from Serena's hand and hung up the phone
"What did you do that for?!?" Serena asked
"You looked so pretty today." Darien said
"Are you trying to make it up to me for missing the doctor's appointment yesterday, because it will take more than compliments." Serena said
"You look tired, want me to make dinner." Darien said
"I ordered Chinese food." Serena said Darien looked into Serena's eyes; he had to occupy her, but how?
"Now why did you hang up on Raye?" Serena asked
"Because I wanted to talk to you, it was kind of important." Darien said
"What is it?" Serena asked, she looked up, into his piercing blue eyes, Darien looked at her for a minute, he was thinking of something to say, he tried to look away but couldn't, he even tried moving his head but couldn't. He couldn't get words out, instead Serena did.
"Are you okay?" Serena asked
"Um yeah." Darien said, should he tell her? This was the perfect opportunity, he'd do it!
"Serena I've been… waiting for the right moment to… to tell you this…" Darien said as he took it all in, what he was about to say
"And?" Serena asked
"Ever since this baby, we have became a lot closer." He started, putting his hand on her stomach and rubbing it.
"And my feelings toward you have not changed… They are exactly the same as they were the day I met you." He said
"What are you trying to say?" Serena asked; avoiding the question, all of a sudden she was very uncomfortable, more than usual. His feelings had stayed the same? Well he hated her when he met her so that must mean… No! He hated her didn't he? It was all an act!
"I'm trying to say…" Darien said but was suddenly cut off by the doorbell, neither Darien nor Serena moved; they sat there, frozen. Darien disappointed he was interrupted and Serena thanking the gods that her pain would be put off, at least for one meal. Still, he didn't move, what was going on?
"That would be the doorbell." Serena whispered, Darien continued to look at her with his intense ocean blue eyes, he then slowly looked away, and he got up and opened the door.
"Shields?" a young teenager with pimple and terrible acne asked, Darien nodded dumbly
"27.50" the boy spoke
Darien took out 30 dollar and gave it to him. Serena tried to postpone what Darien was going to say.
"I guess fate doesn't want you to tell me anything." Serena said
'Maybe she's right.' Darien thought, he said nothing he put the food on the table and took out some plates and cups. Serena also became silent; they sat down and ate their meal, quietly, about 29 minutes into the dinner there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Serena said, Darien didn't reply, he sat there looking at his plate and playing with his food.
"Hey Raye, Mina, Lita, Amy." Serena said, Darien looked over his shoulder
"Hey Darien." Mina, Lita and Amy said
"Hi." Darien said
"Something the matter?" Amy asked, Darien just sighed and went into the bedroom
"He's been acting like that since he got home." Serena said
"Let me talk to him." Raye said as she walked into the bedroom
"Hey." Raye said as she closed the door behind her
"Raye I really don't feel like talking." Darien said
"Then listen. Do you or do you not like Serena?" Raye asked
"Why must you insist on doing this?!" Darien demanded
"Because the 2 of you, if you put your stupid pride and insecurities aside you would have the best relationship. If you let her she'll let you inside, to know her in and out, she'll let you in her heart, and she'll let you deep inside but don't think about gained her trust if it's broken once." Raye said
"I do, I want to be with her but …" Darien confessed
"But what?" Raye asked
"I don't want to mess things up. If I do then I might never see her of my daughter again." He said
"Darien if you do go after her you might everything you've ever wanted in a woman." Raye said
"Will you help me?" Darien asked, Raye smiled and nodded
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
2 mouths passed (hey you wanted me to hurry it up!) still no baby or attacks for that matter, Raye and Darien planned when he'd tell her but little did they know Queen Beryl was making plans of her own, in exactly 3 in a half months the final attack would take place, Zoisite and Malachite would put there plan into action and face the Sailor scouts… they would also cause great pain for Sailor Moon, the loss of her beloved Tuxedo Mask and daughter! That is if she came back… if she didn't she'd lose her Sailor Scouts.
