AN: Hope you like it. I think its really full of action. Enjoy and please review.
Serena walked inside her bedroom. She had insisted that Luna take the day off and go visit with Artemis. Luna had agreed after a long time of arguing.
Serena jumped unto her bed. She felt really tired. It had been over a month since that fateful and awful day. She laid there on her bed her hands gently trembling.
Serena felt tears coming to her eyes as she tried to forget about the thing that had been haunting her all week. She was late. It had been well over a month since her last period. That fact scared her. What if she was pregnant?
Serena got ready and quickly walked to the nearest pharmacy. She'd start with a home testing pregnancy test. Then if necessary she'd go to the doctor.
Once she'd bought one and returned home, she took a deep breath and went into the bathroom. Holding the test as she walked out she sat on her bed and waited the few minutes. It was positive.
Serena panicked. She felt tears rolling down her cheeks. No, she couldn't be. It was just so unfair, so hadn't wanted any of this. Still… there was a slight possibility that it was wrong. Going to the doctor was the only thing left to do.
Getting up, she grabbed her jacket and purse and walked downstairs. Locking the door behind her, she quickly walked down the street to the bus stop. Today was as good as any to find out the truth, if she were pregnant or not.
As she traveled more into town, towards the local doctors office, her thoughts strayed to Darien. She had been spending very little time with him lately, and they rarely talked anymore. She really didn't know what was new with him.
The bus slowly stopped and Serena got out. Looking both ways she darted into the building, trying to avoid people seeing her. Once inside she walked quickly to the receptionist, scared stiff.
The receptionist smiled at her gently, obviously telling that she was nervous about something. Serena leaned in closer to the window.
" I'm Serena Tsukino. I need to see a doctor as soon as possible, please."
The receptionist wrote something down on a piece of paper and then looked back up at Serena.
" Is it an emergency?"
Serena shook her head. The receptionist smiled. " Please have a seat. There should be a doctor free in a few minutes."
Serena nodded and quietly went to sit down in the surprisingly empty waiting room. As she waited, the few minutes seemed like hours. She grew frantic as doubts and questions filled her mind.
What if she really was pregnant? Would she tell Seiya? What would she tell Darien? He'd think that she had cheated on him. Would he still have her?
" Oh Darien," she murmured.
" Serena Tsukino," the nurse said, as she appeared at the waiting room entrance. Serena slowly got up and followed the nurse down the hall and into a small waiting room.
" Please have a seat on the examination table." Serena did as she was instructed.
" What seems to be the problem, Miss. Tsukino?"
Serena looked at her and then lowered her head shamefully. She was just over 16 years old; she was too young for this.
" I think I might be pregnant. I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive," Serena said softly.
The nurse nodded and scribbled something down in Serena's file. Then she took her temperature and blood pressure, jotted that down and told Serena to wait for the doctor who would be there in a few minutes. Then she left, closing the door quietly behind her.
Serena sighed as she thought of calling Darien on his cell. Should she risk ruining her and Darien's relationship by telling him that she might be pregnant? No. She wouldn't tell him until she knew if she were or wasn't.
The faint sound of the door opening brought her back to the real world. The doctor walked in mumbling something to himself, his head down reading his file. Still, Serena thought, he looked familiar.
" So… you're here for a pregnancy test, Miss…" he said as he scanned the top of the page for a name. He then looked over at her and stared in shock.
His midnight blue eyes met her crystal ones. Serena gasped. Darien. No. It couldn't be him. But it was. He must be here on an internship. Serena looked immediately down, staring at her shoes.
" Serena?" he asked and knew that the nurse must have gotten her papers mixed up. Knowing that was the case, he didn't flinch .
" How are you?"
"I'm fine," she said weakly and met his eyes.
" Sorry… I'll be leaving, must have gotten the wrong room. Nice seeing you though."
He smiled politely and then turned to leave, but stopped when he felt her hand on his shoulder. He turned back around.
" Your not in the wrong room, Darien." Serena looked at him with pleading eyes.
He looked away from her, not making contact. The nurse had written down on the file that she was in for a pregnancy test, but that was impossible. Clinging to any possible excuse he could, she just couldn't be pregnant.
" Oh then. The nurse must have mixed up her papers."
His eyes lifted to her face. He just stared. How could this be happening? They hadn't ever had sex. That could only mean… no, she wouldn't. They loved each other and were destined to be together, forever, as princess and prince, as queen and king. Those odd doubts of her cheating on him were impossible. Still…
" But… but… we haven't…" his voice trailed off, half hurt, half embarrassed.
Serena just nodded as a faint, " I know," came out of her lips. Darien blinked several times at her. So then, it was true. She really had cheated on him, but why? He really didn't understand.
" But you really think you are?" he asked softly.
Serena nodded. " Please, Darien. I'll explain later. Can we just get on with this?"
Darien's body shook, but he prepared to take a sample of her blood. After he had, he held he hand.
" I still love you Serena. We'll get through this… whatever it is."
Serena smiled a weak smile and hugged him.
" I love only you, Darien. Believe me when I say that. Only you."
Darien managed a small smile, although her words weren't much of a comfort. " We'll know in a few minutes," he said, referring to the test.
Serena nodded. " My parents are still out of town. They called and told me that they'd be gone a few more weeks. Come over tonight? We'll talk about this then, okay? Regardless to what it says."
" Sure."
Darien dropped her hand and quickly left the room to do the test. Within a few minutes, Darien returned, his face as white as snow. He walked over to her and took her hands.
" The tests are positive, Serena. I guess congratulations are in order."
Serena winced, both at the fact that she was pregnant and at the bitterness in his voice. Her eyes welled with tears. He was upset.
" How could you Serena? I thought you loved me!"
Serena didn't answer. He was about to start demanding an explanation, but seeing her cry as she was broke his heart. He gently took her in his arms.
" I'm sorry, Baby. I'm sure there is a reasonable answer. You'll tell me tonight, right?"
She nodded and stood up, not sure of what to say.
Darien watched as Serena walked out of the room, her words still echoing in his ears. " I love only you, Darien. Believe me when I say that. Only you." Well after tonight, he'd know everything.
