Darien sat down next to Sammy and put his head in his hands. "I can't believe this is happening." He sighed heavily.
"It's okay Darien. I'm sure she'll be fine."
"What happened? Why did she take the stairs?" He asked looking up to Sammy.
Sammy sighed. "She wasn't planning on it…"
"Where is my daughter?" A voice said from ahead.
Darien and Sammy looked up to see a woman standing at the main desk. They immediately joined her.
"Ma'am. What is your daughter's name?"
"Serena Tsukino."
"One second." The receptionist typed something into the computer. "She's still in the trauma room. I'll let the main doctor know you're here. You can wait over in chairs."
"I don't want to wait. My daughter is hurt. I want to be with her." She nearly shouted.
"One moment. I'll see if the doctor is busy."
Ilene sighed. "Fine." She turned around to see Darien and Sammy. She immediately hugged her son. "What happened?" She asked walking back to the chairs.
Sammy sat. "Well Darien had to head home early because of work. I said I'd walk Rena home to make sure she gets there okay." He paused. "When we got there, we were waiting for the elevator. It opened and Serena saw – uh – Darien kissing another girl-"
"HOW DARE YOU! YOU CHEATED ON MY DAUGHTER!?"
"MOM! Calm down. She ran up the stairs before she saw what I saw. He pushed the girl away. Told her to leave him alone. He then stormed off. It wasn't his fault. Serena just didn't wait long enough to see the end."
"Oh God…this is all my fault!" Darien said getting up. He then walked out of the doors and sat on the ground against the building. "She doesn't deserve this. She deserves better."
Someone placed a hand on his shoulder.
He looked up to blue eyes matching those of his girlfriend. "Stand up." Ilene said as he stood. "I still am upset with the choices you two made, but from what I can see, she doesn't deserve better. You stayed with her when she got pregnant. Most teenagers would probably leave the girl, but you stuck with her. Ken will take some time to get used to the fact, but I'm working on him. It doesn't help that I'm still extremely upset with her myself. I wouldn't have taken the extreme he did, but it's done now. I'm going to go in and talk to the doctor. Don't beat yourself up over this." She smiled lightly before walking back into the hospital.
"Mrs. Tsukino I presume?" A blue haired doctor asked.
"That's me. How's Serena?"
"I'll take you to see her. Follow me please."
"Sammy, you wait here. I'll be back soon."
"But I wanna see Rena."
"Wait here." She repeated.
He sighed and sat back down.
The two women walked down the hall. The doctor opened a door and led Ilene into the room. Ilene gasped at the sight. She saw her daughter connected to various machines. There was a tube in her mouth and one in her arm. There was something connected to her finger and something else wrapped around the bump on her stomach. She stifled a gasp.
"She's stable. She wasn't breathing on her own, so we had to intabate her."
"Why isn't she awake?"
"She's in a comatose state."
"What?"
"She must've hit her head when she fell. We expect her to wake soon, but we're unsure as to when."
"What about her baby?"
"Babies." She corrected.
"What?"
"She's having twins."
Ilene sighed. "Could you please not tell anyone of that?"
"You're her mother right?"
"Yes."
"I'm Dr. Mizuno. I know her situation."
"What situation?"
"How her and Darien are living together, your husband kicked her out."
"You must think I'm a horrible parent." She said lowering her gaze to the floor.
"I don't judge. I just wanted to say that I agree with you. Neither of them should be told about the twins. Serena is dealing with a lot of stress. The babies are okay, but I don't think she could handle much more stress. It could harm her. If it's your wish, I won't say anything and I'll inform everyone who knows about it." Dr. Mizuno reached into her pocket. "Would you like this?"
Ilene looked at the photograph. It was mostly black with two white spots on it. "Is this?"
"Their first picture. I have a picture of one of the babies to give them if they want it. I figured you might want the one of both until their born."
"I will convince my husband to look at my daughter. This is my motivation." Ilene smiled happily as she slipped the photo into her purse. "I should let my son and Darien know what's going on."
"That's a good idea. I told Darien he had to contact you because she's a minor and all."
"I understand. I appreciate it."
She nodded. "Don't be too hard on Darien right now. He's taking this pretty hard."
"I know."
/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Come on Sammy, we've got to go before your dad gets home." Ilene said as she rose from her seat next to Serena.
"Can't I stay?"
"If your father found out that I was here and Serena was hurt, Darien would probably have to flee town."
"Okay, okay. See you later Darien."
"Bye."
"Take care of her Darien. Get some sleep."
"I will. Thank you Mrs. Tsukino. And I'm sorry."
"We'll talk sometime."
He nodded as she and Sammy walked out the door.
Darien sighed as he looked back to the blonde in the bed. He pulled out the picture of his daughter. That sentence sounds so foreign. My daughter. He kept the picture in his breast pocket. Dr. Mizuno said she was fine as well as Serena, but he needed them as close to his heart as possible, mentally and physically.
"Darien." Dr. Mizuno said softly. "You have to leave."
"I can't stay?"
She shook her head. "I'm sorry."
"What time can I come tomorrow?"
"Visiting hours begin at seven."
"I'll be here then."
"Get some sleep. Call the girls tomorrow."
"Oh yah. I guess I should call Andrew too. She's supposed to work tomorrow too."
"How far along is she? The doctor from the prenatal ward never told me."
"About six months now. The due date is in July. Which is good cuz then she can have a while to recover before returning to school."
"How are you going to work that out?"
"I'll watch the baby during the day while she goes to school, and on the days I work, have her stay in the day care while I do so. She'll pick her up when she gets out of school. Spend some time with her."
"You're not going to college?"
"Can't afford it. Plus, we wouldn't have anyone to take care of our daughter. Maybe in a few years."
"You'll figure it out. Now go home and get some rest."
"You don't know when she'll wake?"
"We're hoping by the end of the weekend. She's stabilizing. We can't take out the tube until she wakes."
"Thanks for keeping an eye on her."
"It's not problem. I'll call you if anything changes." She gave him a hug.
"See you tomorrow."
"Not until at least 8."
"Okay. I'll make my calls before then."
"Good." She smiled as he walked out of the room. "Poor boy." She sighed once the door shut.
