"Where would you like to go first?" Serena looked down at Emily.

"What is there to do here?" Emily held her mother's hand as they walked out of the small yard. Looking around you could see that the whole property was very well taken care of. The grass was finely cut. The hedges which surround the main house were tall and cut perfectly so it would be impossible to spot a branch out of place. The only way off of the property was to follow the gravel road until you came to a fork in the road. One direction took you the backway off of the property while the other way took you through the main house to the highway.

"Well they have horses here, a pool up at the main house and a trail which leads to the pond on the property." Serena smiled as she remember the days when she went horseback riding or the times she spent swimming at the pond. Although a lot of those times at the pond where spent in Darien's presence. There was not a care in the world when they were together, but things had to change.

"A pool, horses, and a pond. WOW!" Emily's eyes lite up like it was christmas morning.

"Can we go see the horses now?"

"I think we can go in the morning. You could have more time then to learn how to ride." Serena suggested as she heard the bussing sound of bees. She looked around and saw the rose bush hiding next to the large oak tree a little aways from the hedge.

"Really? I can learn how to ride?"

"Yes baby. We can try it out tomorrow."

"Yeppieeee!" Emily jumped up and down happily.

Serena began to laughed at her daughter's excitement. She was so happy being with her daughter she began to sing to her. Emily stopped jumping and listened to her mother's beautiful voice. They were too busy paying attention to each other that they didn't realize how close they had gotten to the Masteronic home.

Raye had decided she want to catch the sun rays before it went down for the day. Her little girls were playing in the yard while Jared Jr was fast a sleep. She smiled as she watched her babies play amonst themselves. Suddenly she heard singing and a child's voice. One of the voices sounded very familiar to her. 'It can't be!'

"Mommy, you said there was a swimming pool?" Emily giggled.

"Yes honey, straight ahead of us past the hedges."

"Can we go swimming." And Emily was off running.

"Emily! Wait!" Serena yelled and began to chase after her.

Raye saw a little girl with raven color hair run around the hedge. She could hear her mother calling her.

"Emily! Wait!" The next thing she saw ws a woman with blond hair come running around the hedge.

"Oh my!" Raye covered her mouth with her hand. She walked down toward the little girl running toward her. As the woman got closer, Raye thoughts were confirms. For standing infront of her was Serena Jensen.'Oh my god, Serena your back.'

"Emily, we are not going swimming and it was very rude of you to run from me." Serena scolded her daughter when she had stopped a few feet from the steps of the pool.
Her daughter was a good girl, but she was your normal five year and anything got them excited.

"Serena?"Raye spoke as she walked down the steps grand steps. Turning and looking in the direction the voice came from, Serena flinced. She couldn't believe that this was happening. She had totally forgotten where she was. The only thing on her mind was getting her little girl so now here she stood in front of Rayelean. She wasn't ready to face any of the Masteronic family, but it looked like fate was stepping. Taking a deep breath, she spoke.

"Raye! It's been a long time." Serena hugged the woman, who now stood in front of her. 'Please don't let her ask about Emily.' Her mind screamed. 'How can she not? YOu weren't pregnant when you left and now you stand there with a child.' Her heart stated calmly. 'Just relax.' Was repeat in her mind.

"Yes, a very long time."

"Mommy, who is she?" Emily pulled on her mother's tank top. Serena looked at her daughter. Staring into her daughter's eyes, she could see Darien staring back at her. She hoped Raye couldn't see Darien in this little girl.

"This Rayelean. She is an old friend of mine."

Raye looked at the girl carefully. She had dark hair with the most deepest blue eyes she had ever seen. 'They remind me of Darien's.' She thought to herself. Before she could say anything else, she heard her daughters' calling her name as the got closer.

"Mommy, mommy. We have company." Amber yelled as Tiffany ran behind her. Turning toward her daughters, she spoke. "Amber, Tiffany, this is Serena Jensen and her daughter, Emily?" Raye looked to Serena to make sure she was correct. Serena bent down and shook their hands.

"Hello Amber. Tiffany. My name is Serena and this funny little girl is my daughter, Emily." Turning around she took a hold of her daughter's hand and brought her over to the girls.

"Hi." Emily shyly spoke.

"Hi." The girls answered in unison.

"Wow Serena. It is really great seeing you." Raye sighed, "I am sorry about your father."

"Thank you." Serena gave a small smile.

"How long will you be staying?" Raye looked to see all the girls playing together.

"I am here to help with the funeral and packing up the cottage. Then Emily and I will be leaving after that." Serena smiled as she watched Emily open up and play with the other children. It was good to see her happy and, of course it was a plus, seeing her play with her cousins. Serena smiled happily to herself. She hoped that one day the kids would know the truth, but once it was out what next. She knew once Darien's parents found out the truth all shit would break loose, but there was nothing she could do. She needed to tell Darien and soon.

"Mommy, do you think we can stay for a while?" Emily smiled up at her.

"Sweetie, maybe another time. We have to get back. Auntie Mina made us dinner so she's proably expecting us back." Trying to explain to her what they needed to do.

"Okay." Emily sighed. "Next time, right?"

"Yes sweetie."

Emily turned to the girls, "I can come and play soon."

Serena smiled, "How about we meet tomorrow and go horseback riding?"

The girls screamed, "Yeah!"

"Mommy, can we?" Amber and Tiffany jumped up and down. "Can we?"

Raye laughed, "Of course."

"Good. It's settled. We'll meet at 10 tomorrow morning." Serean grinned.

"Yepppppie!!!" The girls cheered. Both mothers stood there laughing at the scene the girls made. All three of them were bouncing up and down in a small circle. Suddenly Amber called out 'tag' and reached for Emily. This started the girls running around them and under the hedge then up and down the stairs.

"I think it is time we went home. Mina is proably already worried about us." Serena looked around for Emily.

"Ok mommy." Emily ran up and took her mother's hand.

"Bye." Serena and Emily waved as they turned and walked away.

"Bye." Raye, Amber, and Tiffany watched as they left.

"Raye." Gaia walked out of the house. She saw a blond woman and child walk aound the hedge and disappeared. 'She looked familiar.' Thought Gaia as stared after the young woman.

"I am coming, mother." Amber and Tiffany ran into the house to play.

"Who was that, dear?"

"Just an old friend." Raye grinned. 'I wonder if I should tell Darien about this'
Just then Darien came out with Ann.

"Mother, when is Dad and Jared getting back?"

"They should be back shortly. I would say when dinner is ready."

"Alright, I am going to show Ann around the grounds." Raye looked at Darien, a few minutes earlier and he would have seen her. 'I guess I will let it be. If you two should happen to cross paths then it's up to both of you.' Raye knew what had happen between the two, but it was between them. After Serena left, her brother shut everyone out. He also started dating a lot of women just so he could anger his parents. Although this last year he has gotten better, but he is still very unhappy.

'This weekend should be pretty different.' Raye sighed as she walked in to check on her son. She walked over to the playpin and saw he still had his eyes closed. Looking at his blond hair, she was still amazed how much he looked like his father. She knew the girls were spitting images of herself with her attitude, but she just couldn't get over the fact her son look just like him. And if he were like his father than women will need to watch out for this one. He looked so cute in his green jumper with the frog on it. It just seemed to bring out his skin color. He was so perfect and their last child at that.
She only hoped her dear brother would find the same happiness she had found.

Later that evening after Emily was a sleep. Serena was sitting with Mina on the cozy old multicolor sofa. Their mother's player piano sat against the wall facing the large window. A small discolor coffee table sat infront of them. You could see that the white walls were fading looking more of an off white than a pure white. In a few corners of the room, you could see some cobwebs to paint chipings. They had lived in this tiny cottage since they were born and it was finally showing its age. On one of the walls, it only held pictures. The pictures were of them and one large one of their mother before she had died. She was such a beauty. She had long blond hair with baby blue eyes. She had worn her hair down for that picture. It was the only one they had of her. They were remembering some of the good times they had growing up in the little cottage.

"Well Serena, it's late and I'm tired. I am going to go to bed." Mina yawned.

"Good night."

"Are you coming to bed?" Mina asked.

"No. Iam still trying to adjust to being back and what happened today with Raye"
Serena shook her head. She felt guity for not saying anything, but what do you say after being gone. 'Hi Raye. Oh, I wanted to introduce you to my daughter, Emily. By the way she is your neice and Darien's daughter.' She really didn't think that would go over too well. Darien needed to be the first to be told, but could she really do it?

"Don't worry. Everything will work out besides Darien isn't even here, so relax." Mina suggested.

"You know what would make me really relax?" Serena had a glint in her eyes.

"What?"

"Going for a swim in the pond." Serena slyly suggested.

"You're not thinking about going skinny dipping, are you?" Mina shook her head when she noticed the evil glint in her sister's eyes. Mina couldn't believe her sister. She may have changed over the years, but she still had her daring side. She loved her sister for that, but some of the things she had done. Mina wished she could redo, but she had a feeling Serena would not have changed a thing, even if it meant she would have to leave again and raise her child alone.

"Why not?" Serena shrugged her shoulders. "Besides it's late and no one else goes to the pond anymore, right?" She could really use a swim in the old pond. It would be like when she was younger. She knew perfectly well that was what she needed.

"Yeahhhh." Slowly answered Mina.

"Well then there. It is settled." Serena grinned widely.

"Fine, but please be careful." Mina turned and started off for bed.

"Night." Serena went to grab a towel for her late night swim.

Darien walked Ann to her room. As they stood outside all that went through his head was the woman he saw earlier. 'Was it really Serena?' His heart asked.

"Darien, you can come in. Maybe you would like to have a drink with me and see where it could go from there?" Ann touched his chest with her right hand. She let it slip down slowlyl hoping he would say yes. She wanted him and that was all she knew. Darien mentally flinched at her touched. 'What is wrong with you?' He scolded himself.

"No, not tonight. I am really tired from the drive, maybe we can try tomorrow"
Darien sheepishly grinned. He looked at her. He was mentally comparing her to the woman he saw earlier. Ann had shoulder length strawberry blond hair with green eyes. Her skin was just a plan white so when you looked at her she looked as if she was extremely tired. She had a dark green liner around her eyes which at the moment were smudged around the corners of her eyes. The pale pink lipstick didn't help either. She looked too pale as if she was sick. She wore a red t-shirt and tan shorts which reminded him of an employee of Target. She just couldn't compare to the woman.

"I had a good night with your family." Ann took a hold of Darien's hand and looked into his eyes. She hoped there would be more nights like that one. She wanted more nights like the one she spent with his family. She knew Darien would be hers. He just had to be hers because if she couldn't have him than no other woman would. She would make damn sure of that.

"Yeah, me too." Ann's faced moved forward. Leaning in they meet for a little kiss.
Pulling away, Darien said, "Goodnight."

"Night." Ann went into her room and shut the door.

Sighing heavily, Darien walked down the hall to his room. 'I had a perfect chance to have a good time with her and what do I do? I blow her off. What is wrong with me?' He asked. He heard his mind laughing at him.

"Why the hell can't I get her out of my mind?" He spoke out loud. 'Because she reminds you of Serena, idiot.' His heart answered. 'But she is gone and never coming back. I can't wait forever.'

His heart laughed at him mockingly, 'Yeah right. You have been with a lot of women to try and forget about her. Have you? No! And to top it off, you are so unhappy.'

'Shut the hell up!' He yelled. He was so tired and frustated with everything that was going on. He had to come here, he see a woman which reminded him of his greatest loss, and he couldn't even spend the night with the woman he brought with him. Talk about frustated, he was so much more. He needed to do something, but what? Then like lightening, he realized he could go horseback riding and it would take his mind off of everything.
He smiled and began his walk to the stables.

Serena loved the warm night air on her skin. She looked up at the moon as it shinned down on the earth. It seemed to call to her saying 'welcome home'. She could have sworn it winked. She looked around the area. The pond was so still and shinny from the moon it looked like glass. She looked at the tree to the right of her. She couldn't believe how much it had grown since she was last there. It seem to reach up and touch the sky with its branches. Taking off her flip flops, she let her toes dig into the grass under her. This is what she enjoyed when she was younger. It was so peaceful and relaxing. 'God, she missed this.'

She missed being home so much. She remembered all the summers she spent swimming in this little pond. Those were the days. She looked up and saw a few stars helping the moon light up the sky. It was such a beautiful night for a swim. As she stood looking out at the pond, she remember a time long ago.

"Splash!"

"Hey watch it, Darien!" Serena turned her head as she got wet.

"Really, what are you going to do about it?" Darien eyed her slowly.

"I mean it." Serena glared. She watched as Darien slowly approached her. Next thing, she knew they were in a water fight and she was soaked.

"Darien!" Whinned Serena. Serena looked around and couldn't see Darien. 'Where did he....?'

Suddenly, she was picked up and dunked into the water. When she came up, she noticed she was still in his strong embrace.
"Darien." She breathed out slowly as she got her hair out of her face. Staring into his deep, dark blue eyes, she was at a complete loss. Those eyes always seem to pull her in, hypnotizing her. They hide so much emotion, but when she looked into them now, all she could see was love.

She could see the water still dripping off his strong face and down his heaving chest. Was it her or was her heart pounding in her chest wanting to be set free? Dear god, she hoped he couldn't hear her heartbeating. How can he feel this way for her? He was an greek adonis yet, he was there with her. He bent his head down and captured her lips in a sweet, and tender kiss. The moment his lips had touched her, she knew she had truly found the person who was meant to be hers. The kiss began slow and gentle, but as they continued it became urgent and passionate. He nudged at her lips wanting access to the inside regions of her mouth. She heard herself moan the moment his tongue entered her mouth. Her tongue danced with his as she began to explore him. She loved the way he tasted. His scent and the feel of him pressed hard to her sent shiver up her body. She could not get enough of him. She was in pure heaven. This was her first kiss and she was sharing it with him. She was sharing this moment with Darien Masteronic, someone who was completely out of her league.
Damn to all who thought he was out of her league, for all she knew was that right now he was here with her.

Serena sighed, 'That was a long time ago.' She began to slowly undress, first came her capris and then her tank top. She stood in her pale blue bra and matching panties wondering if she could actually face Darien again. Tired of where her thoughts were taking her, she dropped her bra and panties to the ground. The etheral glow the moon gave off made her want to stand there and be bathed by its warmth. She wanted to feel the moonlight on her skin. If anyone had happen by at this precise moment, they would have thought they had seen angel. She stood there in all her radiant beauty with the moonlight caressing her softly. Her hair flying freely about her with a sudden burst from the wind. She was magnificant. She shook her head as if waking up and remembering what she had come there to do. So she ran to the water and dove in.

Well here is another chapter for you. I hope that little flashback was good for you. I just wanted to give you a taste of what Serena and Darien had.
