I DO NOT OWN SAILOR MOON OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM IT!

Recap of last chapter:

"Dada"

Serena puts her in her play-pin, kneeling down she says, "Can you say Mama for me?"

"Dada," Amy says, still looking at me.

Serena rolls her eyes, "No sweetie he's not your Daddy."

Amy points at me, "Dada"

Serena stands up and walks over to me, "Perfect, just perfect. My daughter thinks that you're her father."

I rap my arm around her shoulder, "Is that really such a bad thing?"

Chapter 7

Serena's POV

I feel Darien put his arm around my shoulder.

"Is that really such a bad thing?"

I turn around so I'm facing him, "Yes." I pull away from him and go into the kitchen. I get a beer out of the fridge; Darien grabs it from my hand.

"Serena, you're turning into an alcoholic."

I smile at him, "Why do you care?" I try to take it back from him.

"What the fuck, Sere. You know I care, what's wrong with you? First you're nice then you get all bitchy at me for no reason."

I smirk at him, "I'm a woman, I don't need a reason to do anything."

I walk back into the living room and see that Amy is asleep. I pick her up and carry her to her bedroom. I hear Darien walk into the room and stand behind me.

He grabs my shoulders and turns me around to face him, "I want…no, I need you back, Serena. It's killing me to be in the same room with you and not be able to hold and kiss you. I can't be 'just friends'. I have to have you as mine, Sere. Please give us one more chance, I promise that you won't regret it."

I can't bring myself to look at him as I feel tears forming in my eyes, "We can't be together, Darien."

He puts his hand under my chin and makes me look at him, "Why can't we?"

I look away from him again as I feel the tears spill from my eyes and fall down my cheeks, "Because I don't love you anymore."

I feel myself being pushed against the wall as Darien presses himself against me, "Look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't feel this, that you don't love me."

I try to push him away from me.

"Tell me, Sere."

I stop struggling, "I can't."

He leans in and kisses me but pulls back when I don't respond.

"What's wrong?"

"This, everything about this is wrong, Darien. Love doesn't…isn't the only thing it takes to make a relationship. Don't you remember what it was like right before I left?"

He backs away from me slightly, "It wasn't all that bad. I mean, sure we had fights but-"

"Oh yeah we had fights, but that wasn't what I was talking about. You had gotten to where you didn't care about anything any more. We never talked about anything important; we hardly ever talked at all. I spent most nights crying myself to sleep. I can't do that again, Darien, it almost killed me last time."

Darien wrapped his arms around me. "It won't be like that this time, I promise. Please, Serena, give me a chance to prove it."

"Alright"

I'm so sorry for taking this long to get this chapter up; I've been really busy with school.

I PROMISE that the next chapter will be longer.

And once again thanks to my editor for helping me with this and thanks to everyone that reads and/or reviews this story. ;)
