Epilogue

Serena woke up the next morning and noticed she was in a hospital wing, the sun was shining brightly and birds were chirping, but there was a calming cool feeling. Serena sat up and saw Darien sleep on a chair closeby. She smilled softly and looked out of the window. The door opened slowly and Serena's mother came in with a cup of coffe. She froze when she saw Serena awake and tears came to her eyes.

"Mum." Serena said and her mother crushed her in a hug.

"My baby, Oh I've missed you so much!" Her mother cried.

"I'm sorry Mum... I know what you feel." Serena said. She looked around again and then back at her mother. "Mum, where's my baby?" Serena asked.

"She's in the nursery. She's in perfect health as are you. You just need a little rest." Her mother said smilling at her.

"I want to see her." Serena said.

"That will just make it harder sweety." Her mother said and Serena looked at her questioningly.

"Make what harder?"

"Well, the adoption. Ofcourse. You father has already aranged all the papers and everything, there's already a couple they will be here..."

"I'm not placing my child in ADOPTION!" Serena yelled. She couldn't believe her parents had done that.

"Honey, you know it's for your own good." Her mother said, she wasn't the slightest bit affected by this!

"NO! I gave birth to my little girl, and that child is never going to be on someone else's arms." Serena swore. She stood up and started to walk out of the room.

"Serena, you shouldn't get up." Her mother said. Serena asked the nurse where the nursery was and ignored her mother. Darien woke up and aslo followed her. Serena saw her father picking up her little baby girl and getting ready to hand her over to a pair of strangers.

"Serena, what's wrong?" Darien asked and Serena entered the nursery.

"Give me my baby." Serena said. Her father looked at her and sighed.

"It's for the best Serena." Her father said.

"No it isn't. She's my baby! You're not taking her away from me!" Serena said and recieved her from her father. The two strangers looked at her father in shock.

"You were going to give away your grandson without the mother's or father's consent!" They said outraged.

"You were going to what?" Darien was shocked himself. He placed an arm around Serena and she leaned into him. A doctor came in and ushered her father and the adoptive parents out.

"Don't worry miss. Your parents wont have access to your daughter unless you both give your consent." The doctor said and walked away. Serena looked up at Darien and then to the baby girl.

"Darien I... I-"

"You don't need to explain. I do. The reason I was pushing you away was because I was always getting nightmears about you dying because of me. It turns out Dimando had just been sending those dreams. I'm sorry for what I put you through." Darien said and she felt tears in her eyes and shook her head.

"No. It was my fault... I got scared Darien, of the reaction my parents had exactly right now, of you leaving me..." Serena whispered and he hugged her softly.

"It's ok. Now we're together again." Darien said, there was a little wriggling and gurgling from the baby to get some attention. They both looked down and Serena smilled and handed her to him. He seemed scared for an instant of crushing her, since she was so tiny. Serena laughed softly and a tear of joy fell down her face.

"Meet your daughter Darien." Serena said. Darien smilled softly and her little fist tightened around his finger.

"Hi... I don't believe we've been properly introduced before." He said and she opened her eyes to reveal an ocean blue. Those little eyes looked at him tierdly and with a tiny yawn she fell back asleep. Darien kissed Serena in the lips tenderly. "I love you."

"I love you too Darien." Serena said.

Serena sat in Darien's bed breast feeding the baby, since she didn't want to go back home until her anger faded with her parents. Serena smilled when she finished and covered herself. She caressed the baby's cheek and the baby gave a toothless smile. Darien came in just as the little one burped and stepped back.

"Pardon me!" He said and Serena laughed softly. He sat next to her and both stared at the little girl who was sleeping again. "We've already readied everything for the baptism except one thing."

"What?" Serena asked.

"A name..." He said and both frowned in thought for a moment. "How about Serenity?"

"We have to finish that custom for good. It's little creative." Serena said and tought harder, Darien found it cute every time she did that and kissed her in the cheek making her giggle. "Come on Darien, stop it." Serena said but he continued. "We need to find a name you know." She said between laughs.

"Ok." He said. "She's so cute... How about Alei?" Darien asked.

"Alei?"

"Yeah, it means joy in a spanish dialect." Darien said and Serena nodded.

"She's my little bunddle of joy." Serena said and Darien kissed her in the lips.

"Our little bundle of joy." He said and she smilled.

"Not until we marry." She said sweetly.

"Just a month left for that." He said and she kissed him aswell.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

(2:00am)

A little cry pierced the room and Serena mumbled tierdly.

"It's your time to go..." She mumbled.

"I already went last time." Darien mumbled back.

"You said that yesterday." She mumbled back and accepted defeat and stood up. He fed Alei and she imedeately fell asleep as soon as she burped. He laid again in bed and pulled Serena close to himself and all three fell asleep.

Serena was still living with Darien, her mother said she was sorry and her father aswell, her brother also visited. Her frieds were always around. Best friends anyone could hope for. They even baby sat her once or twice so she and Darien could have some time to themselves.

Life was good. At least until another enemy apeared.
