Through out the day, Serena stayed isolated from other people. She was terrified people would see right through her and they would know she was carrying a child inside her. She didn't understand why Darien wanted to be the father.
Maybe he really does love me. Serena started thinking.
From now on, Serena had to think for her baby, not herself. She was through sleeping with random guys just to make herself feel better.
Oh my god...I am a slut. She finally realized. Serena started crying. She walked out of class and heading outside to the picnic tables.
Darien noticed this and walked up to her.
"Serena…listen. I know you're scared. But I want to be here for you. I want to prove to you that I do love you. I want to be your baby's daddy. Let this child be ours" he said smiling. He bent down and started rubbing her stomach.
"You and this baby can be my family. Please give me a chance to prove to you that I love you and I want to be with you forever." Darien continued.
Serena finally spoke. "Darien. You hurt me so bad. So many times. How can I trust you again? I can't give in. I have this baby to think about now. And I wont let you hurt my child the way you hurt me."
"I understand that. I really do. I know I hurt you, and I have no excuse, but I would NEVER hurt an innocent child. This child deserves the best. He or she didn't do anything wrong and I think it deserves to have two parents that love it. It can be you and I." Darien tried explaining.
"What if you don't wanna play daddy anymore?" Serena pointed out.
"Serena. That will never happen. I love you. I always did, and I always will." Darien said looking into her eyes.
Serena didn't know what to think. Maybe he was right, she loved him too. But after everything he did to her and her friends.
Darien whipped away her tears. He started rubbing her shoulders and then leaned in to kiss her fore head.
"There's nothing more I want then to see you and this baby happy. I would do anything for you."
"Anything?" Serena asked.
Darien nodded.
"Can you bring me home?" Serena asked.
Darien smiled.

Darien never lied. After that day Darien has been with Serena every step of the way. Serena was big, and everyone knew she was pregnant. Everyone was shocked to find out Darien of all people was "the father".
Mina, Raye, Lita and Amy where there for her and couldn't wait to be aunts.
Darien and Serena never slept together yet, they never really talked about it.
Serena's parent where pleased to know the father of the baby was still with Serena and seemed to love her and the baby very much.
But the fact was, Serena wanted to know the true identity of her baby's daddy.
Serena thought about it day in, and day out. Who can it be?
So many guys came to her mind, yet nothing was clear. It was so long ago and all of them used protection.
This is impossible! She thought to herself.
Serena started rubbing her stomach…and felt pain.
Darien looked up and seen the pain in her eyes.
"Serena…sweetie, are you okay? Is it the baby? You think you're in labor?" Darien asked.
Serena looked down and seen a big puddle of water.
"Darien…my water broke."
"OH MY GOD...um...HOSPITAL…um…NOW!" Darien screamed out.
Serena's mom runs down the stairs. "Serena…is it true." She looks at Serena. "Alright its true. Darien help Serena to the car, and I'll get everything she's going to need. Now hurry!" She explained.
Darien nodded. I'm gonna be a daddy

Many hours later"Congratulations. You must be so relieved everything turned out okay. You have the most beautiful healthy baby girl." A nurse called out while handing the most precious thing to her mommy.
Serena took her baby girl in her arms for the first time and felt joy love and happiness enroll her all at once.
"Wow. You are sooooo beautiful." Serena smiled.
Darien came to her side and looked at the beautiful baby girl that looked so much like her mother.
"She's beautiful." Darien smiled holding her little hands.
"Does she have a name?" The nurse called out.
Serena looked at Darien. "Ever since I was small I always wanted to call my daughter Ella." I hope you don't mind.
"Not at all. Ella is a beautiful name." Darien smiled.
"Her name is Ella Elizabeth Bennett Shields." Serena said out loud very proudly.
