Checking On Serena
*******************
The guys were still in the living room talking quietly because they didn't want to wake Sammy up. Duo yawned and looked down at the little boy. "I think I'm going to go put him to bed. Is the room next to Serena's ok?" he asked Quatre. "Of course."
Duo stood up and carefully held Sammy in his arms as he moved up the staircase. He walked down the center hallway and turned to open the door to the room next to Serena's. He pushed the door open with his back and left the lights off. Duo silently stepped up to the bed and pulled the covers back and gently laid Sammy on the bed and covered him up. He sighed as he turned to leave, but as he was at the door Sammy made a soft sound.
Duo turned and saw Sammy sitting up in bed. "Hey buddy. I thought you were asleep." "I was but then I woke up. Is Sere ok?" Duo walked back to the bed and sat down beside him. "Yeah, she's fine. She's sleeping in the room next door. So why don't you get some sleep and you can see her in the morning." Duo lightly pushed Sammy until he was lying down and he brushed his blond hair out of his face. "Everything will be just fine."
Sammy nodded as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Duo again got up and walked to the door. He turned around to make sure that Sammy was asleep before he walked out the door and closed it behind him.
Duo looked down the hall at the stairs and saw all the other pilots still there. Great this will give me a chance to see Serena alone. He walked over to Serena's door, opened it and peeked his head in.
A shaft of dimming sunlight spilled over her slumbering face. Duo inhaled deeply as he walked into the room and closed the door. He stepped over the bed and peered down at her. She's so beautiful, an angel. He reached down to touch her but she sighed softly in her sleep so he snapped his hand back to his side.
He turned to the door. He thought he heard someone coming up the steps. I better leave before someone comes in here. He gazed back at Serena. Such loveliness. I'll get a chance to talk to her later.
He quickly walked to the door and went out, closing the door behind him. He quickly went to the west wing and into his room for the night.
~~~~~
The other pilots were still talking. "Is Duo coming back?" asked Quatre. They all shrugged. "Who know what the baka is doing." Said Wufei. A light went on in his head.
"Well I am tired. I think I'll go up and get some rest." And Wufei quickly exited.
He made his way over to Serena's door and opened the door. "Ok Maxwell get out." he trailed off when he realized that Duo was not in the room. He walked farther in and looked at Serena sleeping peacefully. Such strength in one so small. He shook his head. I should like to train with her in the near future, and then maybe I could beat her. He gazed at her and took her hand in his.
"I better go before she wakes up." He gently put her hand back on the bed and let his fingers trail over her skin. He walked to the door and closed it behind him. Wufei paced to the west wing and to his room and walked in. He could hear Duo snoring loudly in the room next to his. "Stupid baka."
He closed his door and put on some Chinese music just loud enough to drown out Duo's snoring. He then got ready for bed.
~~~~~
The other were just lounging around. "Now where did Wufei go?" asked Quatre. Trowa and Heero just shrugged. "Well I think I'll go check on Sammy." He went up the stairs and walked to Sammy's bedroom. He peeked his head in and saw him sleeping peacefully.
He then went next door and looked in on Serena, who was still sleeping. She's so smart yet so tortured. I wish I could do more for her and Sammy. They are such nice people. I'll take care of her. He gazed one last time at her before he left to retire.
~~~~~
It was only Trowa and Heero left in the living room. Heero sighed. "I'm hungry, I'm going to get something to eat. You want something?" Trowa shook his head. "No. I'm going up to bed. I'll see you in the morning."
They both stood up and headed in different directions. Trowa went up the steps and walked over to Serena's room. I want to see if she's really all right. He walked in and stood next to the bed and stared down at her. She's strong. He sighed as he very gently touched her cheek and then stepped back. He shook his head. What has happened to me? He hurriedly left her room and walked to his.
He could hear Wufei's music going as he stepped into his room and closed the door. He got ready for bed.
~~~~~
Heero had just finished his sandwich when he head Trowa's door close. He threw away his trash and went upstairs. Now was the time to check in on Serena. He sauntered up the stairs and went to Serena's room.
He glimpsed inside and saw Serena sleeping. He stepped closer to the bed and sat down in the chair he had sat in before. He clasped his hands in his lap and he silently watches her sleep.
Why do I feel this way? So strange. I'm not use to these feelings, anger, despair, emptiness, but not this lightening in my heart.
He picked up her hand and rubbed it between his. Serena moved slightly and pursed her lips before settling down again. He sighed as she moved her hand to his face and kissed it gently and placed it down beside her.
I need to think. He stood up and made his way to the door. Her gazed back at Serena and smiled slightly. He saw the moonlight glowing on her milky face. It seemed to caress her face and glimmer.
Heero closed the door and paced to his own door. Hmmm. Wufei is playing his music so that must mean Duo is snoring pretty loudly. I'm glad I don't have a room next to his.
He walked into his room and closed the door. He got ready for bed as he mused over his thoughts about Serena.
