"Yes Dr. Kincaid," Darien answered when the dr. asked to see him in his office,

"I'll be right their." then entered his office. "what can I do for you Doctor?" Darien asked.

"First off you can call me Alec, but I believe I've already mentioned that. Next I'd

like to introduce you to a very special patient," he carefully stated.

"I don't understand," he replied looking confused.

"You will," the Alec replied " she'll be here in a couple minutes, and his secretary

rang and told him that they had arrived.

Darien would never forget that moment, it both shocked and terrified him, because

in the doorway stood the blonde angel that had only recently decided to shine her light

upon him. Suddenly his lings constricted and his breath came out hard and shallow, so he

sat their as if bound by her spell. ~no, no please not her. Of all people not her~ was all his

mind seemed to be able to register, until he saw the small child hiding quietly behind his

angel. Large blue orbs stared be musingly back at him, as if awed by his appearance.

"Serena, please come in and have a seat," the doctor told her, and helped Serena

and the child take their place near him. "this is dr. Darien shields," he waved a hand

toward me "Darien this is miss Serena Takasino, and this little one is Erick Stephens

Takiasinio." he formally introduced us. Serena concentrated her gaze upon me, those

beautiful blue eyes, seemed to gaze at me yet, through me. Suddenly her head snapped to

Dr. Kincaid.



"W-why are you introducing us?" she shakily asked.

"You remember I told a while ago that I was going to be transferred, and Darien

will be taking my place, don't worry Serena, Darien is a very capable doctor, maybe even

more so than I," he reassured the worried Serena. "I'll Leave you two to discuss. Come

on Erick, I'll take you to the play room. "

"Okay," the child responded, "bye mommy."

~did he just say mommy, what in the world is going on, I don't understand,~ I

thought looking at the worried face of my angel.

"Darien let me explain."" she said softly, looking at me with those trustful blue

eyes, at that moment I would deny her nothing. So I gave my consent and told her to go

on.

"When I was 6 my mother had a baby boy, and I was at the hospital with a dozen

red roses for her. As I passed I saw a scowling woman, a nurse, come out of a room, and

stalk over to the front desk, mumbling some incoherent things. Well I was curious to

know what the room held to make the woman walk away in such a fit," I listened to every

word she uttered, as if they were all precious jewels.

"As I peeked into the room I saw a small boy crying, his heart out. So I came over

to him and offered him a rose, and a family." she laughed bitterly. "keep in mind that I

meant what I said, I wanted to be his family, but when I returned with father the next they

told me that he was gone. A-and I felt so horrible for deceiving him…"

She was his little angel, all the doubt he had held onto before vanished from his

mind. Instead of saying anything he took hold of her wrist until she got up and stumbled

into him and fell into his lap. His arms encircled her , and they sat their, just like that. Until

she was composed enough to continue.

"I remembered him, and I felt so horrible about deceiving him, I kept thinking of

how scornful he must have been at me, to have been betrayed, so a couple years ago I

started volunteering at the local orphanage, and the children seemed to enjoy my

company, but their was one boy that seemed to hold my attention, he always sat by the

window and looked out, I tried to become his friend and after a while I succeeded. The

other children didn't like him very much, but I tried to include him. Last year I came in

and he helped me read Mary Poppins, and he fainted just sunk to the ground. So I took

him to the hospital and they ran tests" She choked a little.

"They told me that he had cancer, the orphanage didn't have the coverage to give

him the best treatment, but we did so I -I."

"You adopted him? God you're a miracle Serena," I said in total awe of this

woman.

"Don't' look at me like that," she said her voice angry, as her small fist lightly

connected with my shoulder. "I'm not the great person you think I am." she screamed,

then sobbed, I just held, just held her.As tears slowly came to my eyes.
