A/n: Just to clear this up for everyone. DARIEN IS NOT DEAD. It was just a code for if her parents or anyone else read it.
Late nights
"Oh do you think Dare will show?" Lita asked as they sat in Serena's room painting her toenails. Mina had one foot and she had the other.
"I don't know, he has to work, so it is hard to say if they'll give him a lot of time off for Christmas." They nodded.
"Yen, has to work a lot too. I miss him, he's not allowed to give me rides because my parents aren't so trusting anymore after that girl got busted with her tutor."
"I hear they're starting to inspect more and more teachers now after Ms. Haruna got caught with that college student."
"So," They both said.
"Look you guys I know he's legal, trust me everybody understands that, but they're starting to think what if a teacher is having a relationship with a not so legal student at any high school? I saw them take in Mr. Kudo just for watching two high school girls go by before he pulled off."
"But he was just probably making sure they got across safely and he didn't hit them," Mina cried. Lita nodded.
"Exactly," Lita added.
"Hmm…I don't know if that was the only reason for watching them, I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't think it was necessary to haul him in he's innocent." They nodded.
"Of course." They turned on the television and were surprised to see Mr. Kudo on the news being taken to a squad car half naked followed by a younger girl from Hikawa High School." They stared open mouthed at the television screen. They than proceeded to announce that all of Mr. Kudo's current students would be interrogated.
"Wow," They said.
"If I hadn't of seen that I would not believe it," Mina said. They nodded. There was a knock on the door and it opened before any of them could answer. It was a gruff looking police officer. There were two more in uniform behind him.
"I'm sorry ma'am they just barged up here behind me."
"It's ok show them to the parlor where we can talk properly."
"All members of your household who live here are to be in the parlor now," He ordered.
"Please retire to the parlor." They did so after raking their eyes over her room. Lita and Mina helped a four months pregnant Serena stand up. They collected Sammy from his room and Rob from his own with Kimeko's cousin who they just told to hide out and not make a sound. Rob dressed quickly and followed them down.
"V'y do you barge into my girlfriend's 'ome unannounced?" Rob asked a bit angry at being interrupted. It wasn't everyday you found out your true love was the cousin of your fake girl friend's friend.
"Shut up, how old are you boy?" Rob didn't answer quick enough for him.
"Seventeen!" He cried as they forced him on the floor and pulled his arms behind his back in a very painful position.
"You're in a house full of underage girls, do you know that?"
"Yes, yes, I am a 'ouse guest," Rob cried.
"You expect us to believe that these girls parents would invite an old man like you here to stay with them." Rob nodded.
"Ja!" Rob cried in German.
"What is your name boy and where are you from?" He asked. The girls and Sammy could only stare in shock, their voices caught in their throats at the treatment of Rob.
"Ich bin Fruchtsirup Vanderschmitt, das ich aus Berlin komme, meine Eltern und die meisten meiner Familie sind Doktoren. Meine Eltern wünschten mich gerade beginnen, die Tochter des Tsukinos zu kennen."
"Speak Japanese you German bastard!" They kicked him in his sides. Serena finally found her voice when the leader punched him in the nose and warned him to stay away from them.
"Please stop it, he really is just visiting from Germany and he's my boyfriend. My father set us up to try and avoid an abusive relationship," Serena cried.
"How old are you?" He asked.
"Sixteen," Serena replied.
"Is this his baby?" He asked. Serena shook her head no.
"No, the baby belongs to my deceased French lover."
"What's his name?" He asked suspiciously. Serena couldn't remember the boys name she'd met to her dismay, so she did the next best thing she lied a little more.
"I don't remember it was a one night stand."
"Was he older than you?" He asked.
"No, he was my age that I'm sure of." He growled and tried to feel her stomach but she backed up.
"You're coming with me." He grabbed her by the arm.
"Hey no buddy you can't take her anywhere without a warrant."
"She's one of Mr. Kudo's students than I can for questioning." They sighed when they saw his papers. He took Serena down the jailhouse and into the interrogation room.
"Now, what's your name?"
"Serena Tsukino."
"Age?"
"You know my age." He growled and wrote her age down.
"How many months pregnant are you?"
"Four Months."
"How long has Mr. Vanderschmitt been living in your house?"
"Since November."
"Where are your parents location?"
"America on a business trip."
"How long have you known Darien Chiba?" Serena wasn't surprised they knew something about her. Amy being her friend and all they would have gathered lots of information on her by now.
"Since I was fourteen, we hate each other ever since he teased me for getting low marks in math."
"Why would a grown man like Chiba tease a fourteen year old girl like you?"
"Darien Chiba is a jerk, he's the worse kind of ass."
"How long have you known Andrew Furuhata?" He asked.
"Ever since I've started going to the Arcade which seems like all my life."
"And you party at the club now?"
"Frequently or well I use too until I got myself pregnant."
"Its takes two to tango, you know."
"Yes, and my dance partner is dead now if I can go I've got a business trip to go on."
"Yes now answer me this how long have you been having sex with Mr. Kudo?"
"I just met Mr. Kudo this year I assure we've never had any relations of any kind in that way, He's a dirty old man no offense to him."
"How long have you been having sex with Darien Chiba and Andrew Furuhata."
" We don't have sex, and I don't apreciate you implying that I sleep around with all older men I know," Serena answered getting slightly angry. There was a tap on the window.
"You may go now." Serena stood up and left out. She was picked up in her car by Lita.
"Thanks Lita." Lita merely nodded and they drove off quickly. Serena quickly filled her in. Serena was slightly relieved that Rob was ok, but she didn't really care for him. He let his girlfriend comfort him. He decided that he would take a vacation to England with her. They were off within the hour and through Yen, Serena found out Darien would come with her. She told him that he would have to go to another country than hope a ride to Saudi Arabia unnoticed by the police, which is exactly what he did.
"Ok wow talk about conservative and its so hot," Darien said to himself when he stepped out of the airport. He looked around the airport for a familiar golden head of hair wondering if she had been forced to cover up her beautiful figure as well. He did not spot his darling Serena and sat down hurt. He called her cell phone, but received no answer. Just as he was preparing to book a flight home a man approached him.
"Excuse me sir are you Darien Chiba?" He asked. Darien only understood his name and the clerk translated for him and he was able find out that Serena was waiting for him. He was amazed at how beautiful the house was and walked up cautiously hoping her parents didn't suddenly pop out. He went inside the gate and knocked on the door. Serena opened it quickly and a smile spread slowly across her face just like the one on his.
"Darien!" Serena squealed. " I can't believe I'm actually seeing you it feels so unreal." She hugged him awkwardly because of her belly which was sticking out more than usual.
"Serena!" Darien cried running the hug and kissing her forehead. She pulled him inside.
"Oh I've missed you so much," Serena cried as she wiped her tears away.
"I've missed you too Usako." She smiled at her pet name.
"Oh Muffin, I don't know how we're going to use Rob, they say he's to old even though Amy disagrees."
"I know, I know, but its all right we're safe here in Saudi Arabia."
"Yes, and from now on you're my husband because I've already introduced myself and you as my husband to my neighbors. "
"I'll be your husband any day real or fake," Darien whispered into her ear. Serena smiled.
"Great, because I'd be your wife any day real or fake." They kissed and she led him to the couch. They caught up as she lay in his arms. He rubbed her stomach marveling at how big it was and he couldn't believe that his child, his son was growing in her body.
"You're going to grow up big and strong like your daddy aren't you?" Serena asked her stomach as she felt her baby move. Darien had the biggest smile on his face as he felt it too. He kissed her stomach.
"And beautiful like your mother," Darien added. Serena smiled at him. She felt like they really were married and awaiting the birth of their child.
"I never want to go back to Japan," Serena sighed as he wrapped his arms around her that night after dinner. They were watching a movie and eating popcorn.
"Hmm…I know but we have to finish school to set a good example for our son. By the time you get done with college he'll be seven years old."
"He'll be Ten sweetie."
"No seven because you have three more years of high school and four years of college. That makes seven he'll be nine when I'm finally an attending physician at Tokyo General Hospital. I wanted to talk to you about that, because I had plans to attend Harvard Medical after next year. I want to be apart of the baby's life and I don't want you to be the only one raising him…"
"I'm going to law school in Harvard," Serena interrupted. "Look, I can't safely let you see our child in Tokyo unless from a distance. My mother will have you thrown in jail she's made that clear. Now In three years I'll be attending Harvard as an undergraduate and than as a law student. I understand that you have to go to medical school I won't ruin your plans for your career."
"That's great we can be together, but honey know if you asked me to stay I would. I love you and I'm sure I could easily go to medical school in Tokyo too. You'd never ruin my life, you only make it better. I've always dreamed of having a family, it came earlier than I expected but that's all right with me." Serena smiled and kissed him.
"I have something to show you." She stood up and pulled him behind her. He followed her to the third bedroom on the second floor. She opened the door and revealed a half-finished nursery.
"Oh it is turning out beautifully," Darien said. Serena nodded.
"Yeah, I was thinking of painting a mural in this nursery because until I go off to college this will be our place to meet." Darien nodded not surprised that Serena knew how to paint. She had drawn him while watching him talk to Andrew as they tried there hardest to avoid her and Lita. Amy was watching them closely as if she suspected something
"Perfect." Serena smiled. Serena suddenly had a need to be closer to Darien than they had been all day. She turned and began to kiss his neck. Darien returned her kisses and took in the wonderful scent of oranges.
"Hmmm…where did you get this perfume?" Darien asked.
"Here, I knew you'd love it." Darien smiled. She knew him so well. He kissed her lips until they were swollen.
"I love you," Darien whispered as his hands caressed her body. Her hands moved to unbutton his shirt. She needed to feel their bare skin touching. The static that her hands created on his skin made Darien shiver with pleasure as he once again began to ignite a trail of fire down her skin. The mixing of fire and electricity was intoxicating and mind blowing as they freed each from their shirts, bra, and undershirt. Serena's skin started to burn with passion as Darien kisses moved lower and lower over her body. He paused at each breast reacquainting him self with them.
"Stop teasing me," Serena groaned. Darien ignored her cries for him to be merciful and continued his gorgeous torture. He moved down to her stomach and stopped filling the baby move. Mentally he started to freak out and backed up wide-eyed.
"Sorry I can't do this knowing my son is in there."
"You could before what's changed?" Serena asked thinking something was wrong with her.
"He's got a face now, he's moving and I'm sure we'll be picking out names before we're forced to return to Japan."
"Darien don't do this to me, I need you."
"I'm sorry Serena, I love you and I want you but I just can't do it with my son in there."
"Damn it Darien!" Serena exclaimed as the fire on her skin continued to burn fiercely only once she was sated would the fire die down, but that did not happen that night or any other night even Darien took her to Greece for Christmas. They had a snowy Christmas and Serena gave him the gold ipod and the bottle of cologne that smelled of Roses. He loved the cologne better because of the smell. She tried and tried to convince him to be with her intimately, but he would hear nothing of it.
They returned to Tokyo in a state that suggested they were growing apart. Lita and Mina were eager to know what had transpired between them.
"Well what happened?" Lita asked when they were safely in her apartment.
" He wouldn't touch me intimately," Serena cried. "I must be fat and ugly."
"No, no Serena you're not fat and ugly you're beautiful as a matter of fact you're glowing!" Mina quickly said as they tried to console her.
"Yeah now Serena, what was Darien's real reason for not being intimate?" Lita asked.
"He said he couldn't do it with the baby in me." Serena's tears began to pour out in buckets it seemed. Mina was seriously considering going to get a rain jacket to protect the skimpy red dress she was breaking in while Yaten was out of town.
"Oh Sere its just a phase all guys go through I'm sure once he realizes just how much you need him he'll swallow his fear and give you all the special attention you need."
"Do you really think so Lita?" Serena asked looking up at her through long, wet, blond eyelashes. Lita nodded.
"Yes, I'm sure all couples who're going to have a baby go through this at one point or another."
"Really?" Serena asked.
"Yes, I remember when my mom was pre…" Mina started.
"But you're an only child," Serena said. "Oh no what if the baby is stillborn or I miscarry, oh Lita if that happens I'll just die and….and…." Serena began to out right wail.
"Mina!" Lita exclaimed.
"I'm sorry I didn't know it'd get her so worked up or she'd reach that conclusion so fast."
"Damn it Mina, don't you get it now?" Lita asked.
"Get what?" Mina asked.
"Serena Tsukino the girl that is always late, a klutz, and gets bad grades in school is a fake."
"Huh?" Mina asked. Lita yelled in exasperation.
"Mina, this Serena in front of us, this gorgeous beauty who Dare would be a fool to ever leave, is smart like Amy smart and she's graceful. She's almost always on time and the only thing that will never change is that she's a great friend. She's always gotten all our jokes or tried to cover something up from her. Well almost always, she's not an idiot."
"You're right Lita, I'm the idiot for even thinking she wouldn't catch that. I'm sorry Serena, I was just trying to make you feel better and…."
"OH MY GOD!"
"What, what?" They asked alarmed. Mina was especially distressed thinking she had said something wrong again.
"What if he does change his mine if we have sex, I'll have a miscarriage and than he'll leave me!" Serena cried. Lita and Mina fell back as Serena went from what extreme to the other and it always involved Darien leaving her in the end.
"Damn him, damn him," Lita said over and over as they found nothing that could stop Serena from crying until three in the morning when she finally fell asleep at three in the morning.
"I'm gonna kill that bastard when I see him tomorrow." Lita heard Mina mutter before turning over. Lita silently agreed that revenge was in order.
"Asshole is smart enough to go to college, but not smart enough to know just how sensitive a pregnant woman no teenager really is. Lover boy will be schooled before the day is out!"
"Litaaaaa," Serena whined. Lita covered her mouth and silently cursed.
"Yes?" Lita asked after a moment.
"Shut up, I'm trying to sleep!" Serena promptly closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Lita sat up and stared at her best friend in disbelief with her mouth open. Mina who had heard the whole thing sat up snickering and closed Lita's mouth.
"Just go to sleep Lita come on."
"Damn it, that's it lover boy is getting schooled or I'm dumping him off a bridge and I won't check to see if there's water under it or concrete." Mina laughed some more.
"You and me both now let's get some sleep or we won't have the energy."
"You guys," Serena said waking up again.
"We know we know we're going back to sleep," Mina told her.
"No, no since your up can one of you go get me fish so Lita can make fresh sushi, I won't eat it if Lita doesn't make it and oh can you make some Japanese Rolled Pork with Plums, Coriander, Soy Sauce and Spring Onions." They groaned and stood up. Mina automatically got volunteered for the store.
"Any thing else on this list while I'm out shopping at three in the morning?" Mina asked thinking this was Darien's job not hers, he was the one that knocked Serena up. She loved Serena and would do anything for her and vice-versa, but she was standing in the way of sleep before they were forced to get up. Raye had insisted on having a party at the shrine and that they had to help set up. Somewhere in there her and Lita had to school lover boy.
"Japanese fruit cake would be nice, a chocolate milkshake, and a hamburger, oh you know I could really go for some shrimp."
"Got it," Mina said jotting it all down before hurrying out. When Mina finally returned at four Serena had been content to eat a Popsicle and go back to sleep.
"Oh yeah his ass is mine," Mina said exhausted.
"She sleeps over at Raye's with Amy tomorrow." Mina nodded her agreement before they put everything away and went to sleep.
"New fathers are idiots, Sailor Juipter and Venus says!"
"If your friend is pregnant and staying with you be prepared for any emotional or hungry situation as much as possible. Make her plan the menu, Sailor Moon Says!"
