How Do I Deal

Disclaimer: Nope, don't own a thing here and I'm proud of it. Why? I
don't know. Still, I'm proud. Where did I get the whole baby idea?
Well, it was all my friend's fault! She left this cheesy dumb romance
book at my house, not that I actually read it... umm... lets just get
to the story o^-^o!
======
The doctor smiled at the woman sitting across from him. They were
separated by his huge oak desk.
"Congratulations Mrs. Kramer. You're going to have a baby."
He expected happiness. Joy. The woman's face was blank.
"Mrs. Kramer?"
"Oh... oh, thank you." She said, hesitantly. She rubbed her hands
together.
"Is this an unwanted pregnancy?" He asked, starting to get up. "If
so, there are many alternatives..."
"No... its not that. Its not that at all." She got up. "Excuse me
please. I must be going."
As she walked out, the doctor shook his head.
~Thats new. Never had a woman act like that when she found out she
was pregnant...~

"You're sure?" Cid asked as he looked at his wife. Edea sat on a couch
in their small house.
"Positive. The doctor confirmed it." She kept her eyes on the floor.
"What do you want to do? I mean, things are tight now, with us trying
to raise money for my Garden ideas and you starting an orphanage soon,
but we can always get by. We'll find a way." Cid sat down next to her
and tried to put an arm around her to comfort her.
"Its not that. It isn't that at all." She moved away and let out a
huge sigh.
"You don't want to have it?"
"Him. Its a him. And of course I want to have it. I could never even
imagine killing a child. Its just... I don't know what kind of life
we can offer him. If we kept him, he'd be poor. Plus when people
found out his mother is a sorceress..." She folded her arms across
her stomach. "And you starting you SeeDs and Gardens." She walked
toward the one window in the room and looked out.
"I want him to have a chance at a better life. To not have to worry
about him being forced into an army. Or being a mindless soldier. Or
about him being teased and persecuted about having an 'evil sorceress'
for a mother." Cid got up and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Then... maybe it would all be best if he was put up for adoption."
"No. I can't. Even though he doesn't even really exist yet. Its
like... because of my powers, I'm already attached to him. I know him.
We share a bond. I don't know what we should do..."
"We'll figure something out. Don't worry. Everything will turn out for
the best."
"I hope so."

Edea sat up in the bed. A nurse carrying a small bundle came in.
"Someone wanted to see you." She put the blue blanket in Edea's arms.
"Thank you." Edea took the baby from her.
"Oh, we will need his name. For the birth certificate and all. Cid
chose that moment to walk in. Edea looked at him.
"Seifer. Seifer Almasy."
"But... I thought your last name was Kramer?"
"I promised my family that since I was an only child, I would give my
son my maiden name so our family name would go on."
"Oh. Alright then. I'll be back later." The nurse smiled and walked
away. Cid came over and looked at the baby.
"I thought you had two brothers."
"She doesn't know that."
"I'm assuming you've figured out some plan for him then..." Cid touched
the baby's small hand.
"I'll raise him, but with the other orphans in the orphanage. That
way he'll have all the chances at things we can't offer him, but we'll
still be able to know him." She touched his head. "At least I'll
still be able to have Seifer this way..."

[the end]
This may not be that good... it took me like 10 min, so... I just
got FF8 for my PC and I started over. I just won the Seifer card from
Cid and I started thinking, if Laguna had Squall's card because
Squall is his son, then maybe that was why Cid had Seifer's card...
