Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Just One Night ❯ WHAT?!? ( Chapter 7 )
Chapter 7
WHAT?!?
"Who IS the father?" Darien asked as he looked at Serena carefully. He wasn't sure but he knew that she was hiding something from him. Or is it everyone else? 'Why do I feel like I should know something?' he thought as confusion roomed his mind. He frowned as he concentrated. He looked at the boy and he immediately (even though it's unlike Darien) fell in love with him. He knew that when he grows up, he was going to be a ladies man.
Serena looked as Darien looked at Damien. Her face was pale. Why did he ask her that? And why is he looking at Damien like that? Many questions came to her mind, but she didn't bother to answer any of them, she knew she would only get headache. If she didn't have it already that is. "Why would you want to know? It's not like you care." She said defensively. She didn't like the way he was looking at him.
Darien looked at her sharply. How dare she? Of course he cared. For God's sake, he loved her. With out him realizing it his eyes had softened and he was now looking at her lovingly.
Serena gasped inward as she saw the way he was looking at her. She looked around and noticed that no one was paying any attention to them. She looked back at him. Did she imagine it? No, she didn't. He was still looking at her with the same expression on his face. He was handsome. There was no denying it. She'd been having dreams of him ever since, but she never told anyone, not even her friends. She always saw his eyes. The deep blue, you could drown in it if not careful. But Serena knew that she has already drowned and she couldn't get back out. She looked back at him as she also becomes drowned by the love she felt for him.
They stood there looking into each other's eyes. It seemed almost eternity before Damien cried and brought both of them back to reality. They shook their head and looked away from each other. Serena looked over to Damien who was still crying. She almost felt like laughing as she saw her friends try to stop him from crying with no success.
Darien looked at Damien and walked to him. Damien was in Andrew's arms. Darien slowly neared them and looked at Andrew, "Can I hold him?" he asked not even taking his eyes away from Damien. He felt like he should know him, 'Why?' he asked himself as he took Damien from Andrew's arm. To every one's surprise Damien stopped crying as looked at Darien as if studying him. Darien, too, looked at Damien. He felt like he was looking at himself. Like a small version of himself.
Serena's eyes widened as she saw Darien holding Damien and Damien seemed to stop crying. She looked at her friends desperately.
"Serena, who is Damien's father?" Darien turned around and looked at her.
Serena looked back at him as her face turned white. "Why should I tell you? You won't even care!" Serena said as she once again regained her voice.
Darien got angry (though he didn't know why). "What do you mean 'You won't even care'?! Why would I ask if I didn't care? Can't you just answer and tell us who the father is?" he screamed at her as gave Damien back to Andrew. He walked over to her a mare meter away from her as his eyes burned with fire. "WHO IS THE FATHER?!" Darien screamed as his face turned red with anger.
"You want to know who the father is?!" Serena scream as she walked closer to him. "You are! You are Damien's father!" Serena shouted as blurted it out without knowing.
Darien's face went white; he stood there frozen and couldn't move or think. His mind was blank as all thought vanished from his head. The only thought was, 'Damien…son…slept with Serena.'
The whole arcade went silent. No one moved and no one spoke. Andrew stood there frozen like Darien. He couldn't believe his ears.
Darien thought his ears were deceiving him. Damien was his son? When did they sleep toge-? 'Oh God. It was Serena all along who I had slept with at Andrew's. Why didn't she tell me?'
Serena's eyes filled with fear as she realized her mistake. She felt even more scared when she looked at Darien as many emotions were playing on his face. All of a sudden all emotions were drowned when anger shot his eyes.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me?" Darien asked in a dangerously law voice. Serena didn't like this at all. He wanted to grasp her and drag her so that they could talk, but he didn't he couldn't. How could she be so heartless? He loved her. She was his world. Hell, he didn't even mind her having a baby from another person; he had promised himself that he would raise it like he was his own. But he had no Idea it actually WAS his child.
Darien looked at her with hatred and walked out of the arcade leaving a gaping audience and a heartbroken Serena. She felt tears come to her eyes. Had she done the right thing by kipping his child away from him? She had seen the hurt and pained look on his face. But what scared her the most was the hatred that she saw in his eyes.
She fell to the ground brokenly. Tears started to fall on her check. She put her hand on her face and sobbed. Her friends looked at their broken friend hopelessly. Ray stood there feeling angry. How could he be so insensitive? She walked to her friend her and hugged her trying to comfort her. She knew how it feels to be broken; she'd been broken once, and by the same man. She rocked her slowly feeling Serena's tears slowed.
Feeling his mother's pain, Damien started to cry. Serena turned around and slowly stood from Ray's embrace and walked to her son. He was still in Andrew's arms. She took him from Andrew and cuddled him and started to hush him. She couldn't stay any longer, she need to be alone. Well alone meaning her and Damien. She looked at her friend's and smiled weakly, "I'll see you guys late." She said as she walked out of the arcade with Damien in her hand.
She walked to the park. She walked to the rose garden and sat on one of the benches were it had a good view of the roses and lake. She looked down a small smile crept to her lip. He always brings a smile to her. At least she will always have a part of him. Her smile faded as her eyes saddened at the thought of Darien.
On the other side of the park, Darien was walked to his rose garden. It always mad him feel better when he was down. His thoughts were taken to the time at the arcade. He couldn't believe it. He was a father and he didn't even know it. His eyes hardened at the thought of Damien. How could she so heartless and don't even tell him that he had someone he could call his own. His own flash and blood. That he could say I have someone to live for. He sat on one of the benches and looked at the sunset. It was beautiful. It always made him feel better when he was sitting and look at the sunset.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw gold and turned around to see what it was. Sitting on one of the benches next to the lake was Serena. She held Damien in her arms and she seamed to be thinking. He didn't want to look at her know. He knew she'd went through a lot without him. But she wouldn't have gone through it if she told him. His thoughts drifted to Damien. His name. It was almost like his. She must have named Damien after him. A small smile graced his lip at the thought. He has a son. One he could call his own.
He slowly walked to where she was sited. He sat quietly next to her.
Oblivious to his presence Serena looked at Damien. She remembered the look Darien gave her. Hate. A lone tear spilled from her eyes without her noticing it.
Darien on the other hand did, and he felt his hear break with hears as he saw her tear. He felt like holding her and comforting her. She looked vulnerable. Like a lost bunny. Unconsciously, his hand went around her shoulder and pulled her a little closer to him. He felt her gasp and stiffen a little. He soothed her by moving his hand up and down her back.
When Serena felt his hand around her, she felt like dying, wished the ground would swallow her. But his soothing movement relaxed her as she laid her head on his shoulder and cried quietly.
"I'm really sorry. I thought you will never like it. I thought you would just scream at me and insult me." She cried as he rocked her slowly. He shushed her quietly and moved a little closer to her so he could be able to hold her with both arms.
"I've always wanted someone I could call my own, some one I could live for." He said as he rocked her trying to sooth her. But the thing was he wasn't sure if it was for him or if it was for her. He continued, "When I was six years old, my parents were killed and I had an amnesia. I don't remember anything from then. I'm not even sure if my real name is Darien," he laughed bitterly there and sighed. "People think they know everything about me and they judge me with what they saw from the outside and not from the inside. It hurts you know? Sometimes it hurts to go home and find myself alone in a place so cold." He paused and repeated quietly, "It hurts." He said as he hugged her tightly so he could get her comfort as well as Damien's. Slowly his tears started to fall as he kept rocking them back and forth. He needed comfort until this very moment.
Serena slowly looked up from where she was. She let her hands brush away all the tears that were on his face. Tears didn't suit him well. He should smile, mock her, and tease her. That's what he should do, not cry. She gave his a small smile, "I'm sorry about your parents. And I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I had your baby." She said, as a blush crept to her check at her boldness.
"Friends?" Serena asked as she looked at him in the eye, hoping he would say yes, or even ask for more.
Well that's it dear readers. Thanks for the review. Sorry I took long on taking this one out. My computer was a little sick. -.-,
