NOTES: My story hasn't even begun folks, as far as stuff goes, this is
basically the last chapter before stuff REALLY starts to go down!
Chapter 8
Magnolia was the perfect baby for the 3 days they had her. She hardly cried and she was always smiling and giggling and doing the most adorable little baby things. Mina and Darien savoured every second of being parents. They didn't even mind changing Magnolia's diaper. They tried their best not to pay attention to time. Mina sat on the edge of the bed, holding her little daughter for the entirety of both nights. Her tears falling into the baby's soft hair. This was the only time she would ever be a mom.
The same day that Mina and Darien's tattoos started to scab over, there was a knock at the door of the suite. Mina and Darien looked at each other. Magnolia was feeding. Mina's eyes started to burn with tears. There was another knock, this time more urgent. Darien got up and walked slowly, deliberately over to the door. Mina buttoned her shirt and rocked her baby back and forth as she wept.
"You will never know me, after today. I will never think of you again – not because I don't want to, but because I can't... I will never see you grow or hear you talk... I know you'll grow up into a beautiful, strong, woman... I love you so much, my tiny baby. You are living proof that destiny doesn't always work out to plan. I love you Magnolia... I wish I could be your mother..." Mina whispered into the fuchsia curl on Magnolia's head.
Darien came back into the room, leading a woman all dressed in white with long auburn hair.
"I am Galaxia... I've come for your child," The woman said, kindly.
Mina nodded, wiped the tears out of her eyes and readied herself to hand over the only baby she would ever have to a complete stranger. Darien took Magnolia, tears standing in his eyes, and kissed his daughter goodbye before placing her delicately in Galaxia's waiting arms.
"Artemis will be here in an hour to take you to the time pocket," Galaxia said, before abruptly turning and carrying their child out of their life forever.
As the door shut behind Galaxia, Mina burst hopelessly into tears. Darien tried his best to comfort her while tears of his own spilled down his cheeks like tiny waterfalls of sorrow. They held each other, and Mina kissed him passionately. Throwing all of her emotions into this kiss. Darien kissed her back with equal or exceeded desire. He lifted her and carried her to the bedroom, never breaking their kiss. He laid her back on the bed, and still kissing her touched every curve with a firm but tender hand, lifted her shirt, and ran his fingers over her newly slimmed tummy and her breasts, swollen with milk – firm and substantial in his hand. Mina's desire had no time for foreplay. She viciously tore off Darien's t – shirt, and wasted no time in undoing and removing his jeans, letting his engorged cock fall into her hand. Following suit, Darien quickly stripped Mina. He then slowly pressed himself into her silky wetness, sliding easily in. They writhed rhythmically together, with all the passion and heat they could muster. Undulating, caressing, sweating, until they both couldn't take anymore and they pressed harder into each other and exploded together in passion and sorrow. They knew it was the last time they would be together.
"Darien – I love you with all my heart. I would give anything for you to remember that."
"I love you so much, Mina. At least we'll always have these..." He gingerly placed his hand over Mina's tattoo. She just nodded.
There was another knock on the door and Artemis' voice, saying "It's time to go."
It was the hardest thing in the world for Mina and Darien to put their clothes back on. They did it slowly, stoically. Numbly. 9 months in each others company, almost exclusively, all culminated in this moment – the moment they would have to forget it all.
Darien looked over to Mina when they were both fully clothed. "Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," she said. "Which isn't ready at all."
Darien sighed, took her hand and led her out the door. Artemis led them down the corridor. The portal was there waiting for them.
"When you get to the other side, the Princess and the King will be waiting for you. They will undertake of the memory modification. You will wake up tomorrow with your new memories. They will give you a couple of minutes to say goodbye when you get there. But you must go now. I hope you had a nice time and I'm sorry you'll forget it all," Artemis seemed at a loss for the right words. He indicated toward the portal. "Goodbye."
They held hands and stepped into their end.
When they got to the other side Minako and Endymion were waiting for them. Mina was taken aback, they looked normal. They looked like her and Darien. She wondered for a moment if she and Darien were the ones that looked ethereal and glowing now.
The royalty nodded to them and left the room. Darien and Mina wrapped their arms around each other and held each other tightly for a few moments, and then kissed each other tenderly, for it really was goodbye now. Minako and Endymion re – entered the room. They said nothing. Minako leaned down and kissed Mina at the same instant Endymion kissed Darien. The kissed flooded Mina and Darien's head with memories from the past year; starting from the first night Darien and Mina had been together, and as those memories were forced into their head, all of the things that had actually happened between them – disappeared. The last thing Darien and Mina could recall was an excruciating headache and the feeling of fainting.
NOTES: Now is when the story ACTUALLY begins... or at least shortly. I'm SO looking forward to finishing the story now! I KNOW you guys will love it!
