Chapter 6
Who is that?
5 months later
Serena was now 5 months pregnant and she was starting to show. She started wearing baggy shirts and big pants. It is sometimes hard to hide her stomach from others.
It was Saturday morning. Serena couldn't sleep so she decided to go to the arcade. She hadn't gone there as much anymore, and Andrew was asking her why she wasn't. She told him she had been busy, but her real reason was Darien. She didn't want to see him. She thought if she saw him again, she would break down. She sighed and looked for a shirt she could wear. Maybe it was time to tell Andrew the truth.
She walked to the arcade and looked around inside. In front of the counter was Darien, his nose stuck in his book. She wanted to ignore him and walked straight to Andrew, but he already saw her and was now waving at her.
"Hey Meatball head, long time no see." He said as he turned around to look at her. He gave her a killer smile that made her weak at the knees. She offered a weak smile and walked to where he was seated. "How come I haven't seen you lately?" he asked as she sat next to him. He realized that she was gaining weight, but didn't want to comment on it. How come she started gaining weight now? Didn't she always eat too much? He thought curiously. She'd been acting strangely around him lately, he didn't know what he did but what ever it was, it must have been big.
"Yeah, I've been busy, I guess." She said. She looked over to where Andrew was standing and called out to him. "Hey, Andrew, can I get a chocolate milkshake?" she asked.
He smiled and went to make her drink. When he got back he looked at Serena. She'd been dressing really weirdly these past couple of months.
"Hey Andrew, I need to talk to you." Serena said as she took her milkshake from him and walked to a booth on the other side of the room.
Andrew looked at Darien confused, shrugged his shoulders, and walked behind her.
Once they were seated, Serena took a deep breath and thought, 'here goes'. She started talking. "I'm pregnant." She said, looking at Andrew as different emotions went through his face. First, he was confused, and then realization settled in, then anger shot through him as if the other emotions never existed.
"Who did this to you? When?" he asked as he clenched his fist tightly. She could see his knuckles turning white.
"I can't tell you who, I don't think I ever will, but it was at your party. I was kind of drunk. I guess we were both drunk." She said, darting her eyes to Darien's back. "We were both drunk." She repeated.
"At…At my party? Why didn't you tell me? Oh, God." He sighed as he banged his head over and over against the table, until she put her hand between his head and the table. She winced when his head made contact with her hand, but she didn't say anything.
"It's not your fault. I didn't want to talk about it, but I thought it was time to tell you the truth." She said shrugging her shoulders. "I better go," she said as she stood up and left the arcade.
Andrew sat there alone for a moment, before Darien came and sat where Serena had been sitting. "What was that all about?" he asked as he saw the shell-shocked look on his friends face.
"I can't believe it. Serena…she…she's pre…pregnant." He stuttered as he looked at his friend.
"WHAT?" Darien screamed. He looked around as he got looks from other costumers. "What? With who?" he asked.
Andrew shook his head trying to rid the look of shock from his face. "She didn't want anyone to know, only she knows, not even her friends and family know." He said as he looked at Darien.
"But…but, HOW?" he almost demanded as his eyes narrowed.
"How do you think babies are born?" he said sarcastically.
"What I mean is, she is too young. I don't know, I just wanted to know who it was." Darien said as rested his head on his arms.
9TH MONTH
Serena lay on her bed clutching her stomach. It hurt, and she felt wet under her. She felt pain on her lower stomach. "MOM!" she screamed as she felt more pain. "MOM! AWW! IT HURTS!" she cried as the pain increased.
The door to her room was opened as Ilene, Ken, and Sammy entered. "Oh dear, Oh honey, are you all right? Ken get the car keys, we're going to the hospital!" Ilene shouted frantically.
They entered the hospital and took her to the emergency room. After hours of screaming and shouting a baby cry was heard.
"Oh my, he is handsome." Said Ilene as she held a baby boy. The baby had little black hairs, and stormy blue eyes that looked like a clear midnight.
Serena took him from her mother's hand and looked at him. Her breath caught in her throat. He looks just like his father. Just like Darien. He was handsome. Her eyes watered at the thought of Darien. She had been having new feelings for him. Whenever she saw him, she felt like running into his arms. She still remembered the feeling of his bare skin. It's warmth. It's smoothness. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, the smell of baby feeling her senses.
She looked at her mother, "Isn't he beautiful? He looks just like his father. Just like him. But he won't be able to see him now could he?" she laughed bitterly as tears spilled from her eyes. "But I have a feeling that he will find out soon, because he looks just like him." She cried as she looked at her child. "Damien."
"What?" Ilene asked surprised by the sudden change of subject.
"Damien, that's what his name is. He's a Damien." She said as she looked at him lovingly.
The next day, Serena went home with a healthy baby. Her friends were waiting for her when she entered the house. They were all waiting anxiously as she entered the door.
"Ohhh…can I see him? Can I hold him?" every one was cooing over him when she entered. They all made a circle to look at him.
Ray saw the baby's eyes and hair, and she knew who the father was. She didn't have to ask who it was. She looked at her friend closely. 'Why didn't she tell us? Doesn't she trust us?' she asked herself.
Serena looked up, and saw Ray looking at her. She looked away knowing she had already found out about the baby.
On Sunday, Serena and the girls were taking baby Damien to the arcade. Serena and Ray talked and told the others about him. The only thing that was scaring Serena was talking to Darien. Hopefully he wouldn't know. But she knew that he would have to find out sooner or later. She just hoped later.
They walked through the door and looked around. Serena was looking for a certain black-haired man. Sure enough he was sitting by the counter talking to Andrew. She was about to walk away when he spotted her and waved her over. She sighed and walked to them with baby Damien in her hands. She sat on one of the booths near the counter and smiled her bright smile. "Hey Andrew, how is it going?" she said trying to cover Damien from Darien's sight as much as possible. It wasn't hard to know who the father was, just by looking at Damien, you could tell right away.
"Hey Serena, how is the big guy? Can I see him?" he asked as he walked around the counter to stand beside Serena. She looked at her friends nervously. She slowly handed Damien to Andrew and looked at his face, to see if he would recognize him.
Andrew observed Damien's face and looked at Serena teasingly. "If you tell me, if I wasn't mistaken, I would have said he was Darien's child." He teased.
Serena's face paled at his statement. 'Is it that obvious?' she thought. She looked at her friends, to see them as shocked as she was.
She nervously bit her lower lip. She looked at Darien from the corner of her eyes and saw that he hadn't moved the whole time, but she knew that he could hear and didn't want to take any chances.
Darien was curious, and wanted to look at the child. What Andrew said had almost made him choke on his drink. Like that would happen. Ha, Serena and Darien having a child together. He turned around and looked at baby Damien. He was taken aback. He studied Damien with narrowed eyes. He had black hair and blue eyes. He looked at Serena; she was looking at the ground. He was now curious and nervous at the same time.
"Who IS the father…?"He asked.
