Chapter Five
Today was Serenity's first day as an Attorney and she was really nervous but when she got to work everyone made her feel at home that it wasn't in no time she felt like she had worked there forever. The Attorney she was working with was one of Pegasus's best men, his name was Croquet Sanders and he was a very tall and muscular man whom you didn't want to cross or so people thought. Croquet was the sweetest people Serenity had ever met but he knew his business and he wouldn't accept anything but the best from the people working under him. One afternoon just before closing time, a young woman walked in and she was so terrified and Serenity was up front when she came in. Serenity calmly talked to her and she opened up and told Serenity "my husband has been abusing me and I want out of the marriage because of his abuse I had a miscarriage and lost our child. Croquet came to talk to Serenity when he heard them talking and he stayed in the background listening to see how Serenity would handle this case and to his surprise she did exactly what he would of done and he was so damn proud of her. The young lady said her name was Bonnie Lewis and she needed a place where her husband couldn't find her, Serenity called several places that worked with this Law Firm and found a place for Bonnie. Croquet was on the phone making sure that what the young lady was saying was the truth and what he found out made him physically sick. Croquet came into the room and Serenity told Bonnie that he was her boss and he could be trusted. Croquet sat and talked to Bonnie while Serenity made all the arrangements for Bonnie to stay at the shelter till her divorce hearing. When he heard that they couldn't send anyone for over an hour, he told Serenity that he could take Bonnie only if she trusted him to, and she said she did so Serenity told them and she hung up the phone and got her things and left them to go home. She didn't really know how badly this would affect her but as she thought about it if no one gives a damn where are these women mostly to go to find the help they needed.
When she got home she went to take a hot shower and get something to eat. Mokuba called and said he wouldn't be home till late because he had a lot of research to do in the Library at the College. When Mokuba opened the door he found his wife sleeping on the floor in front of the small electric fireplace they bought and he smiled to himself. He took a quick shower and ate the food she had left for him and did what dishes he dirtied and then he knelt beside her and gently picked her up and carried her to their bed and they went to sleep like they do every night, in each others arms. Serenity opened her eyes and there was Mokuba sleeping and she reached over and touched him and his body reacted to hers and he opened his eyes and smiled at her and they made love twice before getting up and taking a shower and getting ready to face another day. She never discussed any of the cases she was working on and Mokuba never asked. He knew that really she shouldn't discuss anything that she was doing and she loved him for being so understanding. One evening there was a message on her answering machine and it was from Marie, she asked if they needed any linens or anything for their apartment and at first Serenity didn't catch it but then as she thought about it she was really shocked. Marie knew about them, but how. Serenity called her back and they talked and they made plans to meet at the apartment and Marie would bring over somethings for them. It was Saturday morning around ten and Mokuba was sleeping when someone knocked and when Serenity opened the door there stood Marie with the things she said she would bring. They sat at the kitchen table drinking iced tea and talking when Serenity asked "her how she knew?" Marie laughed out loud and said "I saw you coming out of his room one day and you were in your robe and it looked like you had just taken a shower." Serenity turned white and Marie told her "no one else was there and they still are trying to figure it out." That made them laugh and Mokuba woke to the sounds of women laughing and he got up and staggered out to the bedroom, not remembering that he was naked and when he saw Marie he yelled and ran back into the bedroom and Marie nearly fell off her chair in laughter and Serenity soon joined her. They heard him say "it's not funny!" He finally got dressed and blushing he went over and kissed Marie on the cheek. "She knows about us" Serenity told her husband and Mokuba's eyes got really big and that caused Marie to laugh all the harder. Then she said "listen, I know that the two of you are already married and I think that it is great an you deserve your privacy and I'm not going to be the one to tell your families, but I also think that the soon you tell them the better." Mokuba and Serenity couldn't of loved her anymore then they did right then. When it was time for her to leave Mokuba called her a cab and they waited outside with her and kissed her good bye went inside and then they decided that she was right and they were going to go home next week-end and tell everyone their news.
