Title: Mystic Bay Written by: Redroses Chapter: Chapter 1 - It's time to go Disclaimers: Don't own Sailormoon just using the characters.

"Why can't I forget after all this time?"

There a woman stood high on a cliff over looking the ocean. The waters crashed rythmicly into the rocks below. The moon shined brightly in the night sky lighting the area in pure white. The wind blew strands of gold about the figure. The dark sky was reflected in her sadden eyes.

She wore a long flowing white sundress. The dress had spaghetti straps with slits thigh high on both sides. It was form fitting around her tiny waist then went out loose from there. Her long blond hair was pulled back in a high ponytail on her head. Long strands of hair were pulled over her ears and neatly curled. She wore white single strapped sandals on her feet. Her toenails were painted a metallic pink. She had dark, sapphire blue eyes with dark, curly lashes. Her creamy white complexion was flawless.
Her cheeks were a light rosy color which made it look like she had blush on. Her lips were dainty and pink. She had a little lip gloss on them for that was all she needed.
She was a natural beauty. In the moonlight she looked like an angel sent from heaven. However, you knew she was not. There was just too much pain which could be seen in those big blue eyes. Pain.....she now had to face.

She looked behind her and started towards the silver Honda which was parked in the gravel road. She looked into the backseat where a little sleeping figure was covered by a pink blanket with white stars and yellow cresent moons. She smiled softly as the tiny blanket moved. You could see black curly strands of hair poking out from under the blanket. The figure rolled over kicking off the blanket.

There laid a little girl no more than five years old. She was dressed in a long lavender night gown. The little girl had black curly hair that went down to her shoulders.
She had well define eyebrows and a small puggy nose. She had a dimple in one of her cheeks which was very noticeable. Her little pink lips were in a perfect heart shape.

As Serena watched Emily sleep. She was reminded of a past love. 'She looks so much like him.'

Serena knew who Emily looked like. Emily looked like her father, the one Serena has tried to forget all these years. He is the reason for her pain, but is the man she could never stop loving. The same man who broke her heart. The reason she left her father and sister behind.

Now she was going back home because her father had passed away from a heart attack. She was needed and it was time. She remembered the day she received the letter about her father so clearly.

Serena sat behind the large oak desk in her office on the tenth floor of Smith and Watson Advertising. Her office was large with one huge window overlooking the city.
On her desk were all of her files, a roldex, a intercom system, a phone, and a nameplate.
On the corner of her desk sat 1 large picture of Emily with little ones of them together.
She had a coat rack near the door and a large leather sofa in her office with a few paintings on the walls.

Serena was busy going over some clients' accounts which needed to be renewed and resigned. Her boss Mr. Watson had told her Granny Smith Cookies were looking to do something new with their advertising and weren't sure if they wanted to stay with Smith and Watson. Serena was trying to come up with some new ideas that would keep Granny Smith with her agency. Serena was one of the best in the business.

"Ms. Jensen? You have this letter which just arrrived for you."

Serena looked up, "Letter?"

"Yes, Ms. Jensen." Handed Molly.

"Thank You." Nodded Serena as she looked over the letter in her hand.

'Could it be?' Thought Serena as she saw the postmark of Mystic Bay. Her sister Mina was the only one who knew her whereabouts. Serena opened the letter and began to read it. Moments later she had tears streaming down her face.

In the letter Mina explained their father has suffered a major heart attack. He had undergone triple bypass surgery. During the operation one of his arteries erupted causing him to lose too much blood. They couldn't save him. She also explained they both knew what type of risks the doctors were taking in the surgery.

Serena sat there a few moments trying to absorb everything in the letter. Tears continued to flow down her face as she realized it was time to go home. Time to face her past and pain if she wanted to put her father to rest and say good bye to him. Also it was time for Emily to meet her aunt.

Serena went to talk to her boss that afternoon. She explained to him about her father and asked for leave of absence. Mr. Watson was a very understanding older gentleman. He himself has a daughter Serena's age and knew Serena needed to be with her family. Mr. Watson told Serena to take as much time as she needed.

Seated behind the steering wheel, Serena sighed deeply thinking about leaving. She knew it was time, but going back meant facing Darien Masteronic. It was time for Darien to meet his daughter.

"Mommy?" Questioned a soft voice right behind her.

"Yes pumpkin." Serena turned to look at her little girl standing behind her seat.

"Are we going to see Auntie Mina soon?" Emily's eyes twinkled with the fact she would finally be meeting her aunt. Emily laid her head down on the back of the seat and smiled at her mother.

Reaching her hand over Emily's forehead she stroke her daughter's hair, "Yep. You will be meeting Auntie Mina tomorrow."

"I can't wait." Emily's smile widen.

"Me either, pumpkin." Serena reached over and kissed her daughter's cheek.

'I hope you're ready to meet your daddy, Emily. And I hope your daddy is ready to meet you.' Serena watched as her daughter sat back in her seat and yawned. Turning around Serena started her car and drove home. 'Tomorrow will be here soon enough. I really hope your daddy is ready.'
