******** Standard procedure, I do not own S.M characters, but this is my story, I just borrowed the characters so that I can make it popular with you readers, lol. But I hope you enjoy! ********

Serena stared at her sister with wide-eyed shock. "What?" she asked, finally choking out words through her dry throat.

"A party—a party to for those to welcome you back home," Mina smiled.

Serena groaned. "But I haven't decided to officially be back," she stated. "This is just a visit to see what my prospects are, that's all."

"Serena, you know you'll be coming back. There's nothing to stop you now. Dad died, and now none of us have to face his harsh, cynical words. We don't have to put up with his berating abuse. And we do have the family businesses to think of."

Serena slumped down onto the couch across from Mina, in her penthouse apartment. "But it's not just that," she sighed.

"Why don't you just get it over with and call him yourself."

"It's not that easy. It's going to be a complete shock to his system to know I'm even still alive, but then to add that yes, while I was practically forced to leave home, I had his child—a child that he doesn't know that he fathered."

"Serena, Rini is going to start asking questions about her father once she starts school. You're lucky that she's young enough not to know that she's missing out on something like having a father. So you are going to have to face this sooner or later."

"But she doesn't need a father. I can take care of her, and ever since my company sailed right off the ground, I have more then enough money to give us both what we ever may want."

"Serena, all I'm asking is to give you a little party. You know you're coming back with your family. I know New Zealand's a beautiful place, but there's nothing to keep you from being with your family here in Japan."

Serena closed her eyes, and then opened them after a tight sigh. "Alright, go nuts, I know I won't be able to stop you and Andrew, once you two get an idea in your heads."

Mina squealed with delight as she jumped up from the love seat she was sitting on to pounce on Serena. "Oh, you won't regret it."

Serena smiled at her sister, then she felt an idea spark up. "Why don't we also make it our official coming out party?"

Mina dropped her mouth open in shock as she stared at her. "Are you feeling alright?" she asked her, her mouth still open in shock.

Serena laughed as she bopped her chin to close her sister's gaping mouth. "We might as well. If we came out, announcing that with our father's death, and the millions of dollars he left to us which was unbeknownst to us, we might as well accept our new wealthy roles in this place."

Mina took a deep breath. "I suppose we could do that. But you know that this will make the party a grand bash. We have to show that the Tsuskino's mean business."

"We can't do any less. We might as well do it ourselves, or we run the risk of having the press discover it on their own and then accosting us in our daily lives until we give a press concert."

Mina sighed. "The damn press. They were vultures all over Darien when his company hit the billion-dollar mark. It was ridiculous, and then to top it off, since he's single, they have been hounding him about his eligible status."

Serena winced slightly at the mention of Darien.

"Sorry," Mina said softly. "I know that it hurts to hear his name."

Serena gave her a small smile. "It's just that I worry what he'll say if he were to ever see me again."

"I think he'd be happy to see you, and I think it's safe to say that he won't jump at you. I've heard it on the rumor mill that he's seeing someone."

Serena shrugged. "I've heard something like that. But well... we didn't part well, and you know that. How am I supposed to waltz back into his life and tell him that he has a daughter?"

Mina gave her a sympathetic smile. "Well, maybe this party will be a good thing. Almost every elite figure is going to come. It will be expected of us."

Serena sighed as she laid her head on Mina's shoulder. "Why us?"

Mina laughed. "Come on, we didn't even need father's money. I have my modeling and now my acting career taking off, and Andrew's well off with his booming computer company that comes up with all the latest gadgets. Then there's your precious stones lines, and all the chain stores that are popping up all over the world, with your jewelry designs being bought out by the richest people in the world, I think we're all doing well for ourselves. We don't need father's money from his playwrights, his theater company, his broadcasting company, and his movie recording studio—I actually think we should sell it out."

Serena grinned. "I like that. There isn't a one of us that can handle the stress of the William's Corporation, not with us heading up our own companies, unless you want it Mina? I mean it does fit into your field. And Andrew and I could make sure it all goes to you. we have too much work with our own companies."

Mina sighed. "I don't know."

Serena gave her a tight hug. "Don't worry that you wouldn't be able to handle it. Since you were a little girl, you've been capable of being able to rule over others."

"Hey," Mina said, smacking Serena on the arm.

Serena laughed. "That's because you know it's true."

Mina shook her head, laughing. Then she grabbed a pillow and smacked her.

The fight was on, Serena grabbed a pillow, and they battled it out.

They didn't hear the door open amidst their shrieks of laughter while they smacked each other with the couch pillows.

All of a sudden, there were two more pillows. Andrew had just come back from the zoo with Rini, whom he had whisked away earlier in the morning while Serena had still been sleeping.

"Okay Rini, looks like it's me and you against your mom and aunt," Andrew said as the pillow fight was just starting to wind up.

Then the laughter erupted from them all as they engaged in a pillow fight turned war. Once they were all out of breath, and lying on the floor, they heard a small meow.

Serena sat up as she looked around. Rini ran to go get a small black kitten, while Andrew kept a tired face, as he tried to catch his breath.

"Isn't she cute mommy?" Rini asked as Serena pulled her onto her lap. "I'm going to name her Luna."

"Yes, she's very cute," Serena said, kissing her daughter atop of her head. "Where did you get the little kitten?" she asked, looking over at her older brother, who was trying to right his hair.

"Well, Uncle Andrew took me to the zoo, and then on our way home, we passed a pet store."

"So Uncle Andrew bought you a kitten?"

"No, there was a lady walking down the street, who had long black hair, and pretty purple eyes and she was holding a box. She stopped to talk to uncle Andrew, then when she saw me she showed me the box, and there were lots of kittens mommy."

"I see," Serena said. "Well, that was very nice of that lady."

"Her name was Rei. She said I should pick out a kitten, because she thought that I looked a lot like her best friend from when she was a little girl. Oh, you will let me keep her, won't you mommy? I'm sure she'd love our home in new Zeeland."

Serena's eyes had widened at the woman's name. Rei had been her best friend all through her childhood, both her and Amy, had been best friends with her and Mina. She still kept in contact with them, but only little. They knew that she had been forced to leave Japan under her father's orders, and that she had a little girl.

Serena was just hoping that Rei wouldn't say anything to her brother about her being back in town. She didn't want Rei's brother to know that Rini held a certain resemblance to the tall, dark, and handsome brother of Rei's.

"Well, actually kitten paws, what would you say that we find a home here in Japan, near both uncle Andrew and Aunt Mina?"

Rini's face brightened with her brilliant smile. "Really, we're going to live in Japan?"

"If that's what you want kitten paws."

Rini squealed with her five-year-old energy and threw her arms around Serena, dropping poor Luna in all her excitement. Then Rini turned to look at her aunt and uncle. "Did you hear that, we're going to live close and be a big family?"

Andrew and Mina nodded, smiles on their faces, and the sparkle of tears in their eyes.

Serena looked at her family. Yes, she thought, she made the right decision. She and her family would grow even closer; she would be able to rekindle the old friendships with Rei Shields, and Amy Matthews; and she would give her daughter everything she ever wanted, even her father if she so desired.

***** So, what did you think of that? Please let me know. I don't know if I'm doing any good if you don't say so. I need at least five reviews before I continue, cuz otherwise I'm writing a story for myself, and I'm the only one that thinks it might be okay. But anyways, also tell me what you want to see happen, I love to hear from people. It's part of the story business here on fanfiction, lol. Ciao *****
