Chapter I:

Rinoa looked down at the pregnancy test, she was alone, she smiled but then started to

cry some worried on how squall would take the news. She wasn't even married, and it's

only been 2 months since they started dating. And they didn't even think about the Topic

of "Marriage" but rinoa just hoped and prayed that it would come up…

Leguna sat in his presidential suite with a picture of Squall and rinoa in an Image shots

style. Laguna ran his finger along squalls part of the picture, and down the scar as well…

Squall played a game of cards with zell and beat him twice, lost to him twice, draw

twice, they were on there 7th game of cards….

Quistis, Selphie, Irvine and Ellone all sat at a table eating lunch, and talking about what

there lives held in store for them all.

Rinoa picked up the phone, it was laguna, he was calling for squall.

"Sorry Mr. President…he's not here right now." She said.

"do you know a way to get a hold of him?" Laguna asked.

"why is it so important?" Rinoa asked, she folded her arms as a scowl came to her face.

"Laguna" it's a secret that I have to keep from him until he's ready.

It was a month and a half ago when the parents of the students at balamb garden,

adopted of not, came for a visit. Selphie and Irvine went home. The General came to visit

Rinoa, Quistis managed to find out about a couple who placed a blond girl in an

orphanage in Centra, she found them both, she also found out that she had siblings, they

came to the ceremony, the only one who felt left out…was squall.

Laguna made an appearance and everyone welcomed him, kiros and ward had them

back off, but laguna kept his eyes on Squall, and walked over to him.

"need a father figure?" Laguna asked.

But squall just looked at laguna and looked away "Whatever…"

"you know…" laguna began "everyone thinks I'm a pretty good leader" he laid back "maybe I can try being the one you spend most of your time with." He looked back at

squall "what do you say."

"I don't give a rats ass about that." Squall said, he realized that after he said that laguna

might've left, Dammit. He looked back and Laguna was still there. Squall smiled.

"Mr. President?" squall asked.

"call me Laguna" Laguna answered "Mr. President is to formal."

Squall looked at zell "hey Zell."

"Dude, sup?" zell asked looking up putting his cards down, and placing his hands on his

knees.

"have you found your folks yet?" squall asked, but zell just shook his head.

"actually I found out that my mom is actually my aunt that married my uncle/dad who

was the brother of my birth dad. But my uncle took good care of me and left me in the

orphanage so that they can talk it over and decide it or not." Zell finished "why you ask?"

"I was…thinking about finding my parents." Squall answering zells question "don't get

me wrong, lagunas been taking me to events, the Ethar Moombas are going up against the

Winhill Chocobos next month, and he has Season tickets. But…I want to find my real

dad."

Zell looked down. "Dude, what if you find out that Seifers your brother. Or WORSE,

that Rinoa is your cousin."

Squall smiled "if I were related to seifer that'd explain why I hate everyone." Then he

frowned "but if I'm related to Rinoa…Zell I'm totally freaked out right now"

About an Hour Later, Zell and Squall got to ethar, took the ride to the presidential suite,

and walked into lagunas office. Laguna set the picture of squall down.

"wish this could be a social call Laguna" Squall began

"whats the matter?" Laguna asked.

"I need you to check your connections to find out Who my real parents are, and if they're

still alive, I was wondering if you can set up an appointment."

Lagunas eyes narrowed, he folded his hands, placed them to his mouth "Squall, we need

to talk."

"look Laguna, I'm to old to get adopted, I'll be 18 in a month and--"

"I know who your parents are" laguna interrupted "your mom died, and your basterd

father worked his tail off to make you proud." Laguna stood up. "you have a birthmark

on your backside, the same place as your fathers."

"how do you know that, have you been spying on me. Your not one of those sex

offenders are you?"

"no squall." Laguna lowered his head "I'm…I'm your father."
