Prologue

Okay I hope I got this right. I was listening to a certain song and a decided to do a fic. I know this will be sad but oh well.

Discalimer I don't own FF 7 or the song I used for a plot line. If you can call it a plot line.


~
Squall opens a box of memories. On the top lay some old photographs. The first was of his fist and only fishing trip.
~


Edea was taking Squall fishing. Squall was eight years old. He had wanted to go for a long time. As of lately he was feeling very depressed and lonely. She knew her responsibilities of taking care of the orphans. Times were hard but nothing said there couldn't venture out a little ways. As they pack to leave a little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole. Squall groaned, but Edea looked down and smiled.


"We can't leave her behind." Edea said. "I know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind."


Then Squall said "Take Selpher or Irvine, take Quintis or Selphie, take my best friend Zell. Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go.
Take any boy in the here, but Edea please don't take the girl."

Edea sighed and looked at the girl. "I'm sorry Rinoa. maybe next time."

Rinoa frowns and looks down at her feet. Quietly she goes back into the house.

The second thing was a plastic bag with a bullet. One of Irvines miss shots
~


Ten years down the road. Squall held Rinoa tightly and kissed her lips. In front of the picture show soldiers came and pulled their guns.


One grabbed her by the arm said, "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm"


Squall stood and faced the group. His jaw tightened and his face. Rinoa screamed and tried to away futilely.


And Squall said "Take my weapon, take my possessions, take this necklace of mine that I hold so dear, take my life, it means nothing to me. But please don't take the girl."


The guard laughed, and took everything that Squall owned. Rinoa is returned to him safely. Zell and Irvine crash in and a fire fight insues. Squall takes Riona and ducks behind some seats as bullets flew.


After what seemed an eternity. Everything quiets. Squall groaned and rolled off of Rinoa. Irvine looked down and smirked. Something seemed very funny to him. But Squalls ass didn't feel funny.

"Hey Squall I didn't expect you to run that direction. Sorry I shot ya." Irvine apologized.

Next he finds old tapes. Rinoa stored. He pops in one and relives his wedding day, and Rinoa during her pregnancy. A few photo's among them..
~


Five years down the road. A quick flash of Squall picking his nose then Selphie's feet. The next was a very beautiful and very pregnant Rinoa walking down the isle. You can here Selphie sniffle in the back round. Then of a shot of Irvine snoring loudly. Quintis crying her eyes out. Then finally of there first kiss as husband and wife.


At the next shots were at the reception. Rinoa laughed and Selphie pointed down to the bulge in her wedding dress. Selphi was laughing just as hard as Rinoa, if not harder.


"Bun in Oven. Squall was a bad boy before his wedding day." Selphi yelled at the camera.


In the background Squall grabs his head and shakes it. Obviously embarrassed The nest was Zell and Irvine, Selphie asks them if they had any words for the newly weds.


"Squall good luck." Irvine and Zell yelled before mooning the camera.


The next followed where different good lucks along the way. Then of the bouquet toss. Selphie caught it or rather it got caught on her camera. Selphie shoves the camera into the hands of Quintis then runs after him. Quintis keeps the camera running as the scene continues. Then turns to Squall peeling the garner off with his teeth. Everyone cheering. Coolly he tossed it over his shoulder and it landed squarely on Irvine's hat.


The camera quits there. One last flash of there wedding was Selphie wishing them good luck and announcing that Irvine purposed to her and showed the ring. She probably beat it out of him.


Week later Rinoa rolls here eyes and storms throw the room angrily. She wore her typical outfit though she was due at anytime.

"I look fat, my heels hurt!" Rinoa screamed.


"You look lovely Rinoa." Squall kissed her. "More beautiful than before."


The next day there's going to be a little one and she says it's time to go.
The delivery was to hard for her and Squall was shoved out long earlier. He paced the halls alone. Everyone was away. The doctor opened the door and walked out.


The Doctor shakes his head and says, "The baby's fine but you'll have to say good-bye. "Cause her momma's fading fast."


Squall hit his knees and there he prayed. "Take the very breath you gave me. Take the heart from my chest... I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me. Make this my last request, take me out of this world. God, please don't take the girl."

Squall stops the tape puts it back in the box of memories and closes the lid. One day these will tell the story of the mother his daughter will never know. Weakly he looks at the clock. Today he'd bring her home.
