Note: Hey, I'm on my second story now! I don't own the characters just the story. Please review and check out my other story Down Under. No bad reviews please. Oh and sorry this chapter is a little short. The next chapter will be longer. I'm just under the weather right now.

"Come-on! Please tuck me in." Jamie begged Serena.

Darien watched his little girl plead with Serena.

"Listen Jamie, Serena has to go. Maybe another time." He said

Serena turned around to see him behind them. She smiled softly at him.

"Seriously Darien. It's no problem."

She took Jamie's hand and held out her other hand for Jason. She headed up the stairs with one on each side of her- minus Darien. They headed to Jason's room first.

"Can you read us a story, Rena?" Jason asked.

"Sure. Go get your favorite book." She said sitting on the bed with Jamie in her lap.

Jason rushed over to his shelf and pulled out a thick book and ran and jumped in the bed causing Jamie to giggle. He handed Serena the book and she flipped it open to the first page. She began reading softly, lulling them to sleep slowly. As she flipped to the second page she looked down at them and saw that they were already fast asleep. Jason was snuggled up next to her and Jamie was tied around her. She smiled down on them and sighed knowing they weren't going to let her go. She looked around the room to see that it was decorated with red, blue, and yellow racecars. There were toys and clothes everywhere. Such a little boy's room. She had so attached to them. Glancing towards the door she saw Darien standing there, leaning against the doorway with a lop-sided grin looking at her. His shirt was halfway unbuttoned and he looked so good. His muscles showed slightly and she felt herself blush at her thoughts of him. She quickly looked back down at the children.

"Do you need some help?" He asked quietly coming towards them.

"Yeah, I can't seem to get them off me." She said trying to pry Jamie's little hand from around her waist. Darien came over and pulled Jason away, tucking him under the covers. He then worked on Jamie. He reached his arms around Serena and pulled his daughter hands from her. The closeness made Serena feel dizzy. His cologne smelled of Polo for men by Ralph Lauren and roses. His hair tickled her cheek making her blush slightly.

'Girl get a grip!' She scolded herself mentally.

As he picked up Jamie he looked down at Serena and said, "Thanks for keeping them today on such a short notice."

As he got ready to leave she spoke up.

"It's not a problem, but I have to ask. If you are getting married why do you need me to keep the kids? Can't Cynthia do it?"

He stopped and turned to face her.

"She doesn't have any experience with kids. Right now she's really trying. They just don't seem to like her but they like you." He said with a wink leaving the room to put Jamie to bed.
