Chapter 12

phone rings

"Hello" Rini said in a tired voice.

"Sorry to wake you sweetie but your father and I need you home pronto." Her mother said.

"I'll be there soon" Rini said and hung up.

"Sorry Toru I have to go it sounds urgent we have to do this again though I wish you were awake but oh well ill call later and tell you what went down." Rini told the sleeping boy.

Rini got up and dressed and out the door in less then five minutes.

"MOM I"M HOME WHAT"S UP?" Rini yelled when she opened the door.

"Good Rini we have a very important matter to discuss" Seiya said as he walked out of the living room.

"I see I could kinda tell by the tone in mom's voice so what do we have to discuss?" Rini asked.

"Let's go into the living room and sit with your mother." Seiya said as he lead Rini into the living room.

"Mom what's wrong?" Rini asked as she saw her mother had been crying and for quite a while.

"Sweetie I'm pregnant with Darien's baby and your father and I want your opinion on what we should do. do you want a brother or sister around or do you think we should give him/her up for adoption?" Serena said and tried not to cry.

"Wow um...I wouldn't mind a brother or sister but every time you see him/her you'll be reminded about what happened and I don't want you to suffer like that so I think we should give it up to people who want a baby yet can't have one who will love this baby just as much as we would." Rini finished proud of her selflessness.

"Alright it's settled and there is no reason why we can't have another child when your mother's ready so unfortunate people get one and you'll get a brother or sister too just not as soon as you think though." Seiya pointed out.

"Rini darling I'm proud of you for putting someone else's needs before yours there is some hope for us after all Seiya" Serena said and laughed.

Seiya couldn't help himself and he laughed too but only a little.

Rini then gets up and runs into the kitchen and picks up the phone and dials Tara's number but the answering machine picks up

"You have reached Hikaru, Tara and Toru we can't make it to the phone right now but leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can thank you"

beep

"Hey Toru It's Rini I know you guys are probably still asleep well I told you before I left I would call to let you know what was.

All of a sudden the phone picks up and a man says "If you ever want to see your little friends again you will follow my instructions as best you can do I make myself clear." The man said.

"Of course what do you need me to do?" Rini asked the man.

"I want your mother" The man said

"My mom but she's baking and why would you want my mom, she doesn't even know my friends?" Rini stated.

"Alright fine I will work with you then meet at the alley behind the arcade alright leave in about five minutes." The man said.

"Alright I'll be there just don't hurt them ok please." Rini pleaded but all she heard was a dial tone.
