She wasn't sure she wanted to stay for dinner and meet Darien's parents and see Cynthia and her friends. She gathered her things and slipped on pair of black flip-flops. Once she opened the door she saw Jamie and Jason looking up at her with smiles.

At least she knew they loved her.

"Are you having dinner with us?" Jamie asked looking up at her.

"I don't know…"

"Please have dinner with us!" Jamie begged grabbing one of Serena's hands.

"I couldn't. Dinner is supposed to be with your family." She said.

"You are considered as family" Cynthia lied speaking up.

Serena looked up to see Cynthia and Darien coming down the hall. Cynthia smiled sweetly at Serena.

"Alright." Serena said eying her.

They all headed down the stairs and into the dining room. Serena noticed the guy from earlier, a couple which was obviously Darien's parents, and some women that were Cynthia's friends. Serena took a seat and the children hopped in seats beside her.

Once everyone was in his or her seats, Cynthia stood up.

"Alright everyone. I prepared dinner myself, Mindy, will help me serve the food. I hope you enjoy it." She said motioning for her red head friend to come help.

As they left to get everything brought in and set up, Serena got better acquainted with everyone. Jason hopped up from his seat to go to the bathroom.

MEANWHILE…

"Put a little more in that soup. That's especially for Serena. I hope it doesn't kick in to after she leaves." Cynthia whispered.

Mindy giggled as she put the crushed sleeping pills into the soup. Cynthia glanced over her shoulder to see Jason standing there looking wide eyed. She quickly grabbed him and kneeled down to his level.

"You brat say anything and I will kill you" She hissed quietly.

He yanked his arm away and stepped back.

"You won't" He said defiantly.

She stood up and grabbed a knife off the counter and held it to his nose.

"I will. AND don't try me." She said coldly.

He nodded mutely and went back to sit down.

LATER…

During dinner everything went fine. The guests were starting to leave. The only people left were Cynthia, Darien, Serena and the kids. Cynthia was gushing on about how excited she was about the wedding.

"Well, to let you know, we won't be needing you after the wedding. You can stay in London if you want. SO at the wedding the kids can say good bye to you then." She said directly to Serena.

Serena choked on her dessert slightly and excused herself from the table. Darien glared over at her and went to follow Serena. Cynthia merely smiled. Jason and Jamie looked at Cynthia quietly. Cynthia glanced over at them.

"It's not polite to stare." She hissed.

"Shut up!" Jamie yelled licking her tongue out.

Darien walked in to see his daughter being impolite.

"Jamie." He said in a stern voice.

"I'm not saying sorry." She said.

Serena came back into the room looking a little pale.

"Come on you two. Time for bed." She said quietly.

"I guess, I'll clean up." Cynthia said getting up from her spot.

"I'll be in my office." Darien said leaving to go back upstairs.

Cynthia had ruined the evening. He wondered about her and her insecurities issues. He shook his head and sighed.

Once Serena and the kids were upstairs, she helped Jason into his pajamas and tucked him in with a kiss. She then helped Jamie to bed.

"Are you okay?" Jamie asked looking at Serena's pale face.

"Yeah. I just worked really hard today." She said weakly smiling.

She felt oddly dizzy and had a hard time focusing.

"Serena can I just call you mommy. I never really had one." Jamie said.

"If that's what you want." Serena said not fully comprehending.

"Thank you. Good Nite." She yawned rolling over.

"Nite. Nite." Serena said turning the light off.

As Serena headed to the stair case, her vision blurred. She tried to grab hold of the railing but missed it completely, losing her footing. She tumbled down the stairs blacking out.

I know… I'm awful…Just be happy for two updates in one day. I'll write more in the morning.
