I wish I didn't wish so hard maybe I wished our love apart.... Toni Braxton - How could and angel break my heart ____________________________________ Together for all Eternity - Part 1 "Darien?" Serena gasped as she stood up from her previously kneeled position where she was cleaning Reeny up. She froze. She was frozen... She was lost... She didn't know *what* to do. She was expecting to eventually bump into him, but not *this* soon. She hadn't even had time to think of an excuse, or a nice way to tell him *why* she ran away four years ago. "W..w..what... what are you doing HERE?" She stuttered nervously. She hadn't seen him for *far* too long. And all of a sudden here she was, face to face. .. In the flesh. And what shocked her most, was that Darien was never the type of guy to come walking around the local streets, dressed so...*casually*... He was just as shocked to see that the small girl was actually his daughter. "Is... Is she *ours*?" he stared into her blue eyes, so innocent and pure. He could see emotion flooding through them, in a way, a small happiness, but mostly shock and regret; Regret of coming back here. A small tug interrupted the awkward moment. "Mummy, mummy, mummy!" the small girl whined as she tugged on her mothers dress. "When are we going to the park? Do you know this man?" She asked curiously her cinnamon hazelnut eyes staring at her mother, then the unfamiliar man. "Sweetie... How bout you go sit on that bench and finish your ice cream?" She smiled, and the small girl, without a comment, nodded and walked towards the wooden bench a couple of meters away. Moments later, Serena called for the attention of the small girl after she had spent five minutes or so talking to the 'stranger'. "Reeny... I tell ya what... Mummy's heaps tired... I wanna go home and sleep... I can't take you to the park sweetie... I'm very sorry... how 'bout you go with Darien?" The small, pink-haired girl nodded. "Good. I'll pick you up later ok?" and she stood up. "I want you to take her now. I'll meet you at the old bench at 6:30. Ok?" she spoke quickly. "Sure... Thank you Serena..." He was grateful she had let him back into his daughter's life so easily. The blonde picked up her handbag and cleaned Reeny off "Be a good girl" She pecked her daughter on the cheek before she headed down the path, a mature blonde disappeared into the distance. No longer did she have two strands of pure gold trailing behind her, but a loose bun. He frowned at the sight of that. She wasn't the cute, adorable, gorgeous, all loving, and caring blonde he had fallen in love with... She was nowmore ____________________________________ "C'mon, Reeny." he held out his large hand as she nervously put her hand in his grasp. "So... What do you want to do?" he asked as he nervously racked his brains deciding what to do with the small girl who held a tight grip to his finger. Then it popped into his head... A selfish idea maybe... But he knew it was 'the only way' So then he stopped and bent down to the small pink haired girl's height. "Reeny...how bout I take you to my home? It's very, very big... And there's much more stuff to do there than in the park.""But I wanna go to the swings!""We have a swing." "Really?!" "Yup... your mummy always loved the swing... We hade one made just for her." The girl was silent."So? Is it a deal? You'll come to my house?" She nodded... Then she was silent for a moment."Reeny... What's wrong?" "Nothing... I was just thinking." "What about? Never mind... Doesn't matter... C'mon.. Let's go to my car now." He led her across the road to a navy blue BMW parked neatly by the sidewalk and he placed her inside. "Wow... This is *such* a nice car!! We never had a car... Mummy always said we'd need the money for other stuff." He smiled before placing all his attention onto the road. The trip was kept in an awkward silence... Reeny fidgeting and playing with the automatic windows, and Darien, mostly keeping his eyes on the road, though occasionally sneaking a peek at the small girl next to him. The navy blue vehicle pulled up outside the old mansion."Well... Here we are" Her large eyes stared in amazement. Never ever had she seen a house so big in her entire life. ____________________________________ Serena slouched her shoulders lazily. Evil thoughts swarmed her mind. Serena Stewart was now a beautiful blonde who had gained herself much respect after running away four years ago. It was amazing how much you could get done alone... even if you were a mother. Soon after she gave birth to Reeny, she moved to England to continue her 'studies' and stumbled across a job for a women's magazine – Cosmopolitan (A.N. I dunno if they have Cosmo in England... but I'm 101% sure they do in Australia and USA). Soon she got promoted higher and higher 'til she sat right at the top of this magnificent chain. It was exactly 3 and a half weeks ago that she was informed she would get another promotion and soon become the head in America... back where Darien lived... BOSTON... She had thought through it very clearly for almost a week. Sure, England would give Reeny a good education, she already had a good salary and could easily support her by herself, but she believed she wanted more, and maybe taking this chance would bring her what she was missing. Serena Stewart, the poor hostess that worked for Darien Shields, now equal in positions. Although, it was always a mystery to those around her who the little girl belonged to. She had never talked about it and they had never asked. *Boy... would they be surprised if they found out it belonged to: Darien Shields.) She was now, popular, beautiful, smart, rich... and in the eyes of strangers and the media, taken by a "mystery" man... Someone who obviously had dibs on the cheerful blonde's heart. Someone who held the key that locked her heart so well. Although it was never 'official' she was taken, people guessed. She had rejected offers from millionaire males... ranging from pop singing sensation Seiya Gallager to Playboy Josh Thompson. ____________________________________ Darien led the small girl into the large home, where a bubble blonde, who looked very, very, very similar to her mother, popped out. She had a large bloated stomach and walked slowly towards the tall man "Darien! I'm so glad your home! Serena just ca..." she paused noticing a small girl with pink hair and cinnamon brown colored eyes gripping tightly on Darien's jeans. "S..sh...sh..She's Reeny..." The blonde stared in amazement. There, right in front of her, stood the daughter of her best friend. The pink-haired girl stared in amazement... "Reeny, dear... You remember me?? Your Aunt Mina?" She shook her head, although she had remembered seeing many pictures of Serena with a girl who had looked similar to her. Maybe this was that girl... "Well... It doesn't matter... How 'bout you go to the swings? I need to talk to your da..." Darien covered her mouth before she could finish the last word. "How bout you go to the swings... Eagor will show you." and he clapped twice before a tall man appeared. "Yes Master Shields?" the nasal accent replied. "Take this young lady to Serena's swing."The two descended out of the hallway. "OWW!! DARIEN! You're hurting me!! Wait 'til I tell Andrew!" the blonde cried as she rubbed her sore jaw. "What's so secretive anyways... unless..." She gasped. "Unless she doesn't know that you're her father!" She stared at him with large blue eyes. They reminded him of a pouting Serena.... Then he shook himself... "She doesn't, DOES she?" the blonde cried in glee. "NO! She doesn't! Now keep the volume down!" he hissed. "What did you want to talk to me about anyways?" he asked as he walked into theballroom. "Well... I was gonna say Serena called me to say she's come back permanently, though I guess you already know.... and I guess she's also gonna be coming here to pick Reeny up, right?!?" she paused "RIGHT!?" she paused again... Darien shook his head. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?! OF COURSE SHE IS, AND I'LL MAKE SURE IT HAPPENS!" and she stormed to the closest phone and picked up the handset.One ring... Two rings... Three Rings. "Hello?" "Sere! It's Mina!" "OHH MINA!! I've mis... Hang on... Didn't we just talk?" "Yeah... well..." "This better be good Mina... YOU KNOW how grumpy I get after jetlag" "Well... I saw Reeny... She's such a darling!" "YOU SAW HER? HOW?!" She sat upright. "She's over at my place now..." "WHAT??!" "Well that doesn't really matter... All-I-wanted-to-say-was-that-you -should-come-over-for-dinner-tonight-me-and-Andrew-have-missed-you-heaps-and -I'm-sure-Darien-has-too." She took a deep breath. Darien was glaring at her dangerously. "Uh... Well, Sere... I betta get goin! Gotta, um, book-it... Be here at 7:30 SHARP!" and the other blonde was greeted by the familiar engaged tone. "*UGHHHH* MINA GREY!!!" The blonde slammed down the phone and rushed to the shower. It was already approaching 5:30, and she still needed to unpack. ____________________________________ At exactly 7:28 a silver BMW convertible pulled up outside the familiar mansion... a mansion that held many memories for the small blonde who stood outside its massive doors. She was wearing a long gray cotton dress and a black turtleneck. Taking one deep breath she pressed the doorbell. A familiar face answered the door... "MINA!!" she squealed, as she ran up to hug her best friend and noticed the lump... "Impressive!" "Shh..." Mina hushed. "Reeny's sleeping... I'm waiting for one of the guys to carry her upstairs." Serena nodded as she spoke more quietly... "*Sigh* I CAN'T believe you made me come to this dinner... I'm so tired with jetlag and all." "Jet lag schmag! You KNOW you wanna come!" ____________________________________ Dinner was a tad bit awkward; Serena and Darien HARDLY spoke and when they did, it was to mumble "sorry," or "Excuse me," after they had knocked something over or sneezed. The two sat on the large velvet couch as they watched the wide screen TV. Beauty and the Beast was playing, and even though Darien had *no* intention of wanting to watch it... He let the blonde have her fun... In fact... He was planning to have a "man's" night with Andrew... Though Andrew, for a very, VERY odd and suspicious reason, had to 'catch up with Mina'. And this left Darien all alone with Serena. He sighed as he stared at his watch: 8:30. The movie marathon of Disney cartoons would run until ATLEAST 4am. She coughed as she stood up. "I better be taking Reeny home now." He shook his head back to reality. "What? Wha?? No, don't take her home yet... She's sleeping so soundly please... stay 'til she at least wakes up." "But I've got a lot to do tomorrow... I must start moving into theoffice..." He gave her puppy dog eyes... How could she regret? The blonde nodded, knowing she'd regret agreeing to this. ____________________________________ He was starting to get into the whole mood of the fairytale cartoons when he felt a weight tap onto his shoulder. He looks down at a mob of blonde hair. She had fallen asleep. He smiled; he'd missed her... And took in a deep breath. At that moment a small girl tiptoed down the large staircase to see the dark room illuminated with the light of the TV only. A male voice whispered, "I think we should leave them alone... C'mon Reeny," and he led her up the stairsback to her room. "I'll tell you a story..." She recognized him as the blond man Mina was with today... Andrew... A tired male figure placed his arm possessively over her shoulders as he continued to watch the cartoons while *his* blonde slept soundly. ____________________________________ TADA...
