"With Arms Wide Open"
Disclaimer: Song written and sung by Creed
Summary: Darien's feelings when his family has their first child.
Serena ran into the house, jumping for joy. "Darien, Darien, you won't believe what I found out today!"
Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
"It's a girl, Darien! A girl!" Serena cried as she danced in the park. Darien watched with awe as the sunlight rained down on her skin, giving her an ethereal glow.
Under the sunlight, welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Serena squeezed hard on Darien's hand as another contraction came, and went. Darien gasped as he realized...he was about to become a father.
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Darien smiled proudly as he pushed his new baby girl in a stroller at the park. It was such a beautiful spring day...
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Everything in Darien's life was different now. Pacifiers, diapers, waking up to crying at 3 in the morning. But he didn't care. It was worth it.
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love,
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Darien held out his arms, shouting words of encouragement. She did it! His baby girl finally learned how to walk...
If I had just one wish,
Only one demand, I hope she's not like me
I hope she understands
That she can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And she can greet the world
With arms wide open...
Baby Rini held out her arms, smiling, as her mommy and daddy both went to pick her up. She started to laugh. She loved to greet them with arms wide open... :)
