Chapter 12: Unspoken Concerns

He knew she had wanted him to save her.

Damn. He had wanted to save her. He had every intention of getting up and walking into that crowd and dragging her away from those swarming men.

Could they not see?

Were they blind to her silent pleas. She was tired. As right she should be. Serena had been running around all day, preparing for the guests and helping him out.

She should be dead tired by now.

And he was an ass for telling his temper get in the way of her needs.

She needed to rest. No. She deserved to rest.

And better she would get. Soon as he gets over his anger. With that he got up to his feet and walked out of the ballroom.

About half an hour later he returned to the ballroom. Serena was still on the floor dancing- more like flapping around. She was trying really hard to remain upright, but now she was swaying. He could clearly see it. Only a blind fool would be unable to see it.

With that he made his way to the floor. Making sure that no one noticed him until he had a hold of Serena's hand. Her dance partner turned around to glare at him, only to recognize him.

"Your highness." The man froze, not sure what was going on. Not that it mattered. Darien stepped in, inserting himself between him and Serena. He then continued with the dance until music ended.

"What are you doing?" Serena asked when he began dragging her out of the dance floor.

He did not respond, he just dragged her through the crowd and out the ballroom doors. Serena knew she should refuse to follow him wherever it was he was dragging her so harshly. But she was too tired to put up a worthy fight. This was bad. Really bad. To be this tired. She had never been this exhausted in her entire life.

Not when she went to the outer rings of Neptune to train, or when she went to Uranus to train in the harsh terrain- where the weather changed with each breath. She had not been this tired fighting an army of Dark Lurkers in the far recesses of space…this was..strange. And she needed to get checked to make certain that she was at full health.

Darien lifted her up the flight of stairs leading to his chambers; and to be honest she was grateful. Sure she looked like a little child in his arms, and her stomach was slightly pronounced, but so what; her feet were probably disabled at the moment anyways.

He finally reached his destination, their bedroom.

And there on the couch he sat her down. She was about to say something when he began to pace. He just walked, back and forth, without uttering a single word. Just walked.

"…" Serena opened her mouth to say something, but then Darien suddenly stopped walking and just turned to face her. Fixing his intent gaze upon her. A frustrated frown coloring his face.

" Why would you?" He murmured that deep frown on his face getting even deeper.

"Why what?" Serena asked. She was completely confused. He'd been acting strange all day and now here he was asking her a question she had no idea about.

"Why would you fight me?" He asked.

"Why wouldn't I?" She retorted.

"Because…" Darien became frustrated again that he began his pacing. Serena was becoming seriously concerned. He really needed to stop think about what he was doing and then maybe try to speak again with some modicum of sanity.

But before she could tell him that, he faced her again, his pacing forgotten apparently with his king gaze because she only met with an ice cold stare of his again.

And to be honest it was getting to her. She was getting annoyed with him. The next words that come out of his mouth, better provide her with the explanation she required otherwise he would really get what was coming to him.

"How can you fight me in your condition?" He asked etching closer to her. Serena frowned, staring at his confused and tormented expression.

"What condition?" She wasn't sure what he was talking about. She wasn't ill, not terminally so. THere was no reason she couldn't fight him.

"What condition? Can you really ask me that. Serena. You are carrying my child…our child now. And the future ruler of our two allied nations. You cannot…You cannot be reckless." Darien finally stated. Serena got to her feet so that she was standing to face him bringing their faces closer.

"Eh! Just because I am with child doesn't mean…You mortals spend too much time in pregnancy. This is the longest I've ever seen anyone in maternal cycle. Besides I'm strong enough that…"He moved in, planting his lips against hers to silence her. He roamed the interior of her mouth with his tongue, taking great pleasure in the feel and taste of her.

"You are expecting. Any sudden stresses can be fatal to you and the child. I cannot…I know you are strong…but I am not as strong as you think I am…so for my sake, please do not do anything dangerous. I know that I am asking too much of you, but do not be the warrior Queen that you are for the remaining months. Wait until the child is born and you are at full health then if you want I will hold another tournament in your honor. And demand all of the best warriors in all four corners of the world gather for your to fight." He leaned into her, burying his head against her neck. Breathing in her scent and sighing from relief.

"There's no reason to worry. I am untouchable." She murmured to him, her hand dangling above his head but not really touching him.

"But I am worried. The thoughts that came to mind when I saw your guardians fight. That blow to the stomach by Mina could have been delivered on you. And then what? And besides that, how did you expect to dodge attacks, running around and jumping around in your state…sigh…never mind just promise me." Darien said, he took her head into his hands and stared intently into her eyes. Serena stared back at him. She thought of it for a second and a frown smudged her face, but she nodded. Darien smiled a sigh escaping him, and he kissed the edges of her lips, trying to turn that frown upside down.

"Good girl. Now, for your reward." He said picking her up. Serena frowned, but did not complain. He led her to the bathroom and deposited her on the tiled ground. Serena looked at the steaming, rose scented bath.

She tied her hair up immediately, turned her back to him and hunched over.

Darien began to unfasten the dress she was in, the damned contraption was very difficult to deal with and it was tied in multiple places. But he managed to release her from the contraption and then removed the dress, he removed it from her shoulders, relishing in the feel of her smooth skin beneath his touch.

When the shirt was completely on the floor, she unhooked the skirts and let them all drop to the ground. Not at all abashed by her nudity, Serena headed for the large tub. Darien took her hand and helped her settle in, the water felt so good against her tired body that she literary released a sound that was somewhere between the sigh and a moan.

"I bet its good huh!" He said, she nodded. Leaned her head backwards closing her eyes.

"Its divine. My body seems to be too heavy for me lately. And I get tired on my feet really easily." Serena said turning her head to the side to look at him. He sat down besides the toiled, placed his arms on the tub's edge close to her.

"I'm sorry. I noticed your distress on the floor and I should have stepped in. That was cruel of me. But I was so disturbed by concern for you and the baby…for the fact that you don't seem to realize that during this time you are more vulnerable." He said. She smiled nodded again.

"I guess that was reckless of me. But how would you be had it been you with child. It is difficult to behave different because my stomach is slightly larger." Serena said. Darien chuckled, dipping his hands in the water and lifting it up with handfuls of water that he gently ran over her mound.

He chuckled. "I hope that you'll be there to cheer me on. I know I will be asking you to sit on the sideline, but this is just for once, so please be content with just supporting me this once." Serena nodded at that a solemn look about her.

Darien messaged the ladder of soap and rose water over her protruding stomach and a sort of serene aura descended over the entire room.

"You should wash yourself now." He said. Handing her the soaped cloth. Serena ran the cloth over her arms and body, but he took it from her to wash her stomach. And then went behind her to wash her back.

"Hmmm..that feels good." She said. Darien chuckled again, and leaned into her to lightly kiss her on the cheeks before cleaning her face with nothing more than the rose scented water.

"Yes well, enjoy. Things are not going to be easy anymore." Serena leaned into him and let herself relax. She took another cloth and unconsciously began to wash him. She ran the cloth down the length of his arm, the same arm that was busy cleaning her up.

"So who were you dancing with?" Darien asked his voice sounding oddly stiff.

"What do you mean who? Incase you did not notice, I had many dance partners." At that he slapped the water splashing her with soapy water. Serena closed her eyes just in time.

"I mean who your first dance partner. You seemed very fond of each other." Serena sighed, wiping away the scented soapy water from her face. She stared at him and her frown deeper.

"Oh! You mean Aieg'a, he is a dear friend." Serena said. Darien began to rinse her with water.

"How dear?" Darien asked. Serena completely unaware or uncaring of his growing jealousy finished cleaning the parts of him that were within her reach. She then handed him the wash cloth so that he could finish the job. Darien took it but she did not sense him moving.

"I do not understand your curiosity, but I shall indulge it none the less. Aieg'a and I were comrades for a time." Serena said, rising to her feet. The water slid down her body, and she reached for the towel.

With the towel in her hands, she stepped out of the tub. Darien did not waste any time. He rushed out as well, grabbing for the other matching towel in the rack.

"So this tournament when does it usually start?" Serena asked, even as she dressed for bed.

"Usually the day after the arrival." He said knowing full well that they were not prepared to host a tournament at the moment.

"Well, we will have to do it the day after arrival. Tomorrow they can relax and enjoy more entertainments curtsy of the Earth and Lunarian Royal courts. In the mean time, we will make preparations for the tournament, and the days after they shall be held." Serena said, sliding under the covers. Darien nodded and went in besides her.

"Will that be enough time though, for us to do everything." Darien asked her. He drew her into his embrace when he laid down, the curve of her body fitting too nicely against his.

"It will have to be. Unless you intend on making your guests wait longer than they have to for something you should have had prepared for months ago." Serena reprimanded. Darien chuckled, nuzzling her.

"Well, several months ago, I was getting married to you. Anyways, my dear wife. I hope you can work a miracle where I am concerned." Darien replied his hand unconsciously roaming over her stomach and gently messaging.

He felt a kick and his hands froze.

"He kicked?" Darien said.

"Yeah!" Was Serena only response. She was too astounded to think properly. The infant growing in her was had kicked. Her baby…no. Not hers. This was Darien's. And his late lovers. This was the child of the woman whom Darien loves. The child of the woman her people had killed.

I don;t know when I'll be able to update again, so I'm going to update 4 ch. today…I hope…Wish me luck...
