Title: Mystic Bay Written by: Redroses Chapter: Chapter 4 - Home Sweet Home Disclaimers: I don't own sailormoon,but I am using the characters to fit into my story.
If you are now reading this chapter I do advise you to double check the last chapter. You see I replaced the last chapter with a new chapter. I had decided to combine the original chapter3 and chapter 4 together so that is now what is posted at Thank you.

Raye was in the sunroom busy feeding her baby. Her four year old daughter, Tiffany played on the floor, while her six year old, Jasmine was out in the garden with her grandmother.

Raye smiled at the baby in her arms, 'I am so lucky. I just hope one day Darien could be this lucky and happy.'

"Mommy? Do you like my castle?" Tiffany looked up from where she sat. Her mother sat on a long, beautiful leather sofa. She had her baby brother in her arms as she feed him.

"It's perfect, baby." Raye looked at her daughter. She was the spitting image of herself. She had long black hair with big amethyst eyes. Her long black lashes batted against her olive skin. She was wearing a lavender color dress. It was short sleeve. It buttoned up the front and stopped at the very low waitline. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail by a purple ribbon.

"Where is Uncle Ren?"

"Your Uncle Darien should be here anytime now." As Raye spoke she could hear the front door being opened.

"I think he's here now. You better go give him a hug." Raye winked at Tiffany.

Tiffany got up and ran to the door, "Uncle Ren! Uncle Ren!"

Opening the door Darien thought, 'Here goes nothing.'

Darien walked in the front door followed closely by Ann. Darien put down his bags as he heard running and yelling.

Turning around and bending down he smiled at what he saw. There was Tiffany running full speed calling, "Uncle Ren! Uncle Ren!"

"Hey there Tiffers!" Darien laughed as the little girl sprang into his arms.

Darien picked up Tiffany and swung her around.

"Did you bring me anything Uncle Ren?" The purple eyed girl smiled.

Darien laughed at the little bundle of fire. She was the spitting image of her mother. Actually both of her daughters looked like miniature Rayes. It was good that her son looked exactly like Jared.

"I don't know." He smiled slyly. "I guess you will just have to wait and see." He put the girl down and she looked up at him frowning.

"Don't worry." He winked and took her hand in his.

"Why don't we go say hi to your mom."

Brightening up, "Okay, Uncle Ren."

Ann stood and watched the exchange between the two. 'Wow, Darien is so wonderful. Too bad he likes kids.' Darien turned his head toward her and waved for her to follow. Walking into the sunroom, Darien saw Raye sitting down feeding the baby.

"I see you haven't lost your touch, sis."

"Darien!" Raye screamed and jumped up. She walked over to her baby brother and gave him a big hug. "How are you?"

"Mommy, Uncle Ren won't give me my present he brought." Tiffany whinned. Suddenly Tiffany noticed the strawberry blond standing next to her Uncle. She was not the only one to notice for when Raye pulled away.

"So Darien, who do we have here?"

"My name is Ann." Ann stuck her hand out for Raye to shake it.

"I don't like her." Came out from the little girl. Darien looked down at his niece. 'Don't worry Tiffany, She is nothing special to me.' He thought.

Raye turned to Tiffany, "Tiffany, that was not very nice! Apologize immediately."

Tiffany looked at Ann, "I am sorry." However, it still didn't change the fact that she didn't like this woman. There was something about her which rubbed her the wrong way.

"I am really sorry about my daughter's mouth." Raye smiled. 'She is so much like me.' Before Ann could answer. The door leading out to the gardens opened.

"Raye, I thought I heard voices in here." Gaia stepped inside the sunroom with Jasmine walking right next to her.

"Hello Mother." Darien grinned with his devilish smile. 'This should really be interesting.'

"Darien, I am so happy you came." Gaia walked to her son and hugged him. Darien pulled away and squatted down.

"Hi Amber."

"Hi Uncle Ren."

"Amber!" Tiffany giggled, "Uncle Ren brought us a surprise." Both girls turned to him.

"I guess I could give it to you now." Darien took something out of his bag. He handed a small pink purse to Tiffany. Her eyes were the size of saucers.

"Uncle Ren, it is so cute." Screamed the happy girl.

"Well check what is inside." Tiffany found a $5 dollar bill.

"Mommy, mommy. Look I am rich." She waved the money around. Darien turn to Amber and handed her a charm bracelet. It had a tiny little star and a small soccer ball hanging from it. He then pulled a $5 dollar bill out from behind Amber's right ear.

"Wow." She answer in awe of the trick and gift her uncle had given her. "Mom, look what uncle Ren got me."

"It is a charm bracelet, sweetie. You are suppose to add little charms to the bracelet until it is full. And each charm means something different. The star because you are my little star and the soccer ball because you like to play soccer." Amber and Tiffany gave their uncle a hug and a kiss for their gifts.

"Darien, you spoil them." Raye shook her head.

"What are Uncles for?" He laughed. Gaia stood watching the young woman at her son's side. She seemed nice enough. 'I wonder if I know her parents.'

Darien stood back up, "Darien, who is this young lady with you?"

"Mother, I would like you to meet my date Ann Reynolds."

"Ann, this is my mother Gaia Masteronic." Gaia looked thoughtful.

"Reynolds? Any relations to George and Betty Reynolds?" She inquired. Darien just seem to roll his eyes. 'Here we go again.'

"Yes Ma'am. They're my parents."

"Your the heiress to the Reynolds hotel fortune?"

"Mother." Darien hissed.

"It is okay Darien." Turning to Gaia, Ann answered, "Actually Ma'am, My brother is the one to inherit the business. He is so much better with the business than I am."

"Oh!" Was all Gaia could say.

Raye could feel the tension in the air. "Darien, why don't you and Ann go and settle down in your rooms. Maybe Ann would like to go for a swim or even horseback riding?" Raye looked at her brother who sighed with relief.

"I think that is a great idea."

"Dinner should be ready in a few hours." Gaia stated as she went to freshen up. Darien and Ann went to settle in their rooms. 'I guess it wasn't too bad so far.' Darien lead Ann to the guest room.

Serena walked out of her bedroom after settling in. She had decided to change out of the clothes she was wearing into something more comfortable. She wore a pair of light blue capris and a pale pink tank top. Her hair was flowing freely behind her as she walked. As she entered the livingroom, she could see Emily staring out the large window.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"Mommy, the ride here was so very long and now I am stuck in the house." Emily turned to her mother with a sadness in her eyes.

"Okay, okay. I can take you to look around and show you this wonderful place I called home."

"Really? We can go look around outside?"

"Yes, pumpkin. Let me just tell Mina what we are going to do."

"Can I go outside now, please? I will be good and wait for you." Emily pleaded with her mother.

"Why not. You need to stay in the front yard and I will be there shortly."

"Yeah!!" Emily jumped up and raced for the door.

"Hurry mommy." The door swung closed. Shaking her head, she went to find her sister.

Darien put his things on the bed and looked around. Everything was just the same as he left it before. The dark blues colors of the bed spread and curtains made the room feel gumily and dark. It was grand bed, king sized actually. There next to the bed was a lightstand with a beautiful chinese lamp. He saw his grandfather's armoir next to the window and on the opposite side sat the blue recliner chair. On the other side of the bed sat the old oak desk, Darien did all his studying at. Nothing seems to change.

He walked over to the window and pulled the curtains open to let the afternoon rays in. His eyes had to focus for a moment before he could see again. He saw the pool in the back, the stables to his right, and the trail on the left which lead to the little pond on the grounds. Further back he could see the little cottage where Kevin Jensen use to live.

"Such a shame about his death." Looking out the window in the direction of the cottage. 'I wonder if she'll come back for the funeral.' His mind asked.

"Hmmm. That's strange." He noticed a new car in the little driveway. 'When did Mina get a new car?' He crinkled his brow in thought.

Suddenly he saw something run from the house. He stared hard for a second and realized it was a littl girl. She had her raven hair pulled into two pigtales a top her head. She was wearing a pair of denim capris and a baby blue t shirt. She looked really adorable. He wondered, 'Where did she come from?' He watched as she played happily by herself. Something told him he should know this child, but why? He had no clue.

He looked back at the child and noticed she was looking toward the front door. He watched as the most beautiful woman, he had ever seen, step out of the house. She grabbed the little girl and began swinging her around in circles. He may not of been able to hear their laughter, but he was sure they sounded like sweet little bells.

'They must be mother and daughter.' His inner voice stated. 'But who are they?' Looking at the two once more, he saw the woman put the child down. She turned in his direction and all the walls around him crumbled to his feet.

'Could it really be her?' He asked. Was it really the woman who slipped away from him so many years ago? Still staring at her, he voiced a loud, "Serena, are you really back?" His heart broke as he remembered the day she ran from him. The day before she left him for good.

"Oh god. Please give me another chance with her." He pleaded to the heavens above. He was going to look back out the window when a knock was heard at his door.

"Darien?"

He sighed, "Come in." Ann stepped into the room and walked over to him.

"Oh Darien, your parents' home is so wonderful. Thank you for bringing me." Ann pulled Darien into a hug. Darien looked out the window and saw nothing. The two were gone.

'Please don't let it be a dream.' His heart cried out. 'Please let it be Serena!'

So Darien still loves Serena? How will he handle seeing Serena now especially with Ann there? That is it for the chapter I hope you like it. Just wanted to let you know, I do have the next chapter ready. It is just waiting for me to post it. I should post it in the next day or so. Please be on the look out for it. Thanks again for the reviews. I really do appreciate them. In my next set of notes I will say all my thank yous, but for now thank you.
