~EPILOGUE~

Sara is drawing a big balloon in her drawing notebook barely listening to her teacher. "Okey class!" The teacher's voice boomed. "Your assignment will be to ask your parents how they met and what brought them together." Sara's glanced at Miss Stanford and wrote the assignment in her notebook. Being 10 years old. She was interested in this matter because it was about love. She draws a heart and giggles. "I wonder what mama will say?" She said childishly.

Serena Shields was baking freshly hot cookies when her daughter Sara Shields came crashing through the front door, her hair a big pile of mess and her clothes very dirty from playing in the playground from school.

"What did do to yourself this time?" Serena asked while smiling at her cute stubborn daughter who seems to be more rebellious than her. "Nothing!" Sara fumed innocently while her blue eyes widened with remorse. "I not do anything bad!" Sara said stubbornly.

"Of course you didn't but mama will be happy if you go upstairs and take a bath." Serena said softly while brushing the leaves out of Sara's golden curls. "Okey mama but I want to talk to you and daddy later when he arrives." Sara said matter-of-factly. "Sure, sweetheart." Serena said warmly giving Sara a kiss in the cheeks.

"I'm home!" Darien announced as he flung his suitcase in the family couch and went to the kitchen to find Serena. "Darien!" Serena smiled and flung her arms around him. "What's this smell?" Darien asked her while making a face. "Burnt cookies!" Serena laughed. "You want some?" Darien laughed and said. "As long as there is sweet milk to hide the taste of charcoal!"

Serena slapped his arm and laughed with him. "By the way! Sara said she has something to talk us later. She sounded pretty serious about it!" Serena said seriously. "Maybe she has a crush!" Darien laughed.

Later, the family was gathered around the living room listening to soft music when Sara suddenly chirped. "Papa, how did you meet mommy?" Darien looks at Serena smiling and then looks at Sara. "Well, I first met her when I was still a young boy. Many bullied me but your brave mama protected me from them." He said proudly and gave Serena a kiss. Sara beamed and jumped to Serena's lap and asked her. "What brought you and dad together, mama?"

Serena grins and kiss her forehead. "Believe it or not! It was a scary shadow that brought us together, sweetheart." Serena smiles happily and Darien laughs out loud. "Huh?" Sara asked her confused. "You mean a scary shadow brought you and dad together?" She asked innocently and thoroughly confused. "Yes." Darien said in an affirmative tone and laughed heartily together with Serena and a bemused Sara.
