AN: There are going to be a few more chapters. Please remember to review. Thanks and enjoy.

Serena woke up early the next morning to find all her friends still asleep. Quietly getting up and walking over to the bathroom she let her thoughts take consume her.

Deep in thought, she got dressed and fixed her hair. She'd now told her friends, but she didn't want anyone else to know. She wanted to keep the child, something inside of her told her to do so. But she never wanted the child to feel unwanted or as if it were a mistake. Maybe it was best if her child never knew who its father was. Serena sighed, she didn't like that idea either but it was better then the first right?

Serena walked into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of apple juice and sat down at the kitchen table. Sipping her drink slowly she realized what she had to do. She'd ask her friends all to keep this a secret about the rape, so that the child would never feel like a mistake. She'd ask the same of her parents.

Her parents. Serena nearly gasped as she realized that she'd have to tell them that she had been raped and that she was now pregnant with their grandchild at such an early age.

But her parents would understand and try and help her right? It hadn't been her fault, she'd thought Seiya was a good guy, not a messed up… whatever he was. Serena sighed and slowly rose to put her empty glass in the sink.

Walking back to the living room, she found all her friends awake but still quite droopy looking. She smiled and sat down on the couch.

" Hey guys. Did I wake you up?"

They all shook their heads. Good. She would have felt guilty if she had. It wasn't their problem that their leader was going through a mental crisis. But as she sat there she felt Mina's eyes on her. She knew that something was wrong. Darn it, how did she do that each time? She always knew when she was upset.

" Sere, what's wrong?" Mina asked softly from her place on the floor.

" Oh, nothing really… just thinking about… the baby."

The girls nodded understandably. " Serena, don't worry. We are all here to help," Amy pointed out.

" I know and thanks. Its just one more thing that I have to ask you guys. I know its really big to ask and I feel really bad for even asking, but can you guys never tell anyone about the rape? I never want my child to feel as if it were a mistake."

" Of course, we will. That's a very good idea. Maybe when your child is much older you should tell it then," Lita said as she turned over to her other side as to face Serena.

" Thanks you guys. I know it's big."

" You're going to ask Darien the same thing?" Raye asked.

" Yeah. I think it's the only way. I mean, Seiya is in jail and he's so sick to do that to me. I don't think he ever deserves to know."

The girls all agreed and slowly got up for breakfast. They had planned to walk over to the arcade and eat there. Then she could tell Darien, Yaten, Taiki, and Andrew about her plan. She hoped that they all would agree to help.

As they walked down the street, the girls were mostly silent. They all realized that this was an extremely hard time for Serena, and they didn't know what to say to help. So instead of making matters worst, they remained silent.

The bell chimed as the five girls walked in the arcade. A cheerful Andrew soon greeted them, but when Andrew greeted Serena, his mood quickly changed.

" Serena. Are you okay? Darien told me what happened. I felt like killing that loser."

Serena smiled at Andrew's brotherly concern. He'd always looked after her as if he was her big loveable brother. Serena was very happy about that. To have two men in her life that were good and cared so much for her well-being.

" I'm fine Andrew. I was just wondering if I could talk to you privately for a minute?"

Andrew nodded and walked to the storage room. Serena told her friends that she'd be only a few minutes and then she walked off. Once inside the semi small storage room, Serena closed the door behind her.

Without wasting any time, she told Andrew about her pregnancy and asked him not to tell anyone and to go along with her plan. He, of course, understood and she knew that he would help her no matter what. She quickly hugged him in thanks and then left the room to go sit with her friends.

Not much after they sat down and began to eat, Yaten and Taiki walked in. Doing the same thing as before she went to talk to them. They had been hesitant at first, but then when they remembered what Seiya had done to her, they agreed to never tell him about Serena's child being his.

Finally, Serena felt peace as she sat down once again to finish eating. So far so good, she thought. Everyone had agreed to help her and keep the hurtful truth from her unborn child.

Just as they were finishing up eating, Darien walked in. Joyous to see Serena he walked over and hugged her tightly. He gently kissed her before he slowly stepped back.

" How are you feeling this morning, Angel?" he asked, love radiant in his eyes and in his voice.

" I'm fine thanks," pausing she looked around the room and found her friends were already outside, no doubt giving her some privacy with her boyfriend. Looking back up into Darien's blue eyes, she continued.

" Darien. Can we go down to the police station now for the tests? I really want to get this over and done with."

Darien nodded and held her hand by his side. " Lets go. It shouldn't take to long."

Serena thanked him and then they left the arcade. On their way, Serena paused to quickly tell her friends why she had to ditch them. The understood and told her that they didn't mind.

As they drove to the police station in Darien's car, Serena couldn't help but bring up the subject. Out of all the people in the world, he would understand and want to help her the most right?

" Darien. There is something I've been wanting to ask you all morning."

Darien turned to look at her briefly before nodding and turning his vision back to the road. " What is it?"

Serena sighed. " I've already talked to the girls, Yaten, Taiki, and Andrew and they all agreed to this. When my child is born, I don't want it to know about Seiya. When its older and mature enough I'll tell it then, but until then I don't want it to feel unwanted in this world or as if it were a mistake."

" I understand. So basically you're just going to never mention Seiya's name to it as being its father."

" Exactly. You don't mind?"

" Oh course not. If that is what you want, I'll do it."

" Thanks."

Once they arrived at the police station, they went inside and almost right away, after giving her name, Serena was led into a small room for testing. After not too long she returned and then the doctor told her that it would take a few days until they got results.

Serena nodded and then the two left the station, to enjoy their day together. She wanted to enjoy this day and not worry about her pregnancy or Seiya or how her parents would react when they found out. She'd just enjoy her day with the man she loved.
