There were so many things Squall wanted to tell her right this minute, but her screams along with the severe pain in his hand were enough to let them all slip his mind. He loved her, Hyne he loved her so much and her pain killed him in every sense because he couldn't take it away. In a way he was the reason she was in this state. He almost regretted saying "Lets have kids". Of course she'd agreed! She had such a motherly nature it was a wonder she didn't have any kids before she met him. Another loud scream and a grunt from his wife pulled him back to the present, her voice held such anger that it actually scared him

"This is.. your... FAULT!" her eyes burned with anger and pain, Squall actually feared she may just cast a firaga spell on him. Intentinial or not. Her hand squeezed his once more and Squall felt like crying out in pain, maybe even squeezing back just as hard. Her chocolate eyes were on his within seconds of that thought and he swore there was murder written all over her face

"You do and I kill you" she cried out once more, another painful squeeze to his hand.

"Come on Rinny!!! PUSH!" Both Selphie and Kadowaki cried out just as another cry emanated from Rinoa. Within seconds another voice was heard in the room, only this time it was a small cry. Squall was looking at Rinoa when this happened, her body had dropped to the table and she was panting, eyes closed, the grip on his hand had released. Reaching up slowly Squall brushed back a few strands of her raven black hair, she rolled her head to look up at him and she smiled. The pain, anger, murder that was written there was gone and instead he saw love. Pure unconditional love.

Both of them looked over at the small table against the wall where Kadowaki was cleaning up the new bundle. The new edition to the Leonhart household. Squalls heart nearly burst as she brought a small blue blanketed person over to them, resting the child in Rinoa's arms for a few minutes the Doctor smiled.

"It's a boy." that was all he heard. Whatever words followed didn't even click to him and all he really caught was "Their okay." and "She'll be fine."

Rinoa had already begun to make small cooing noises yet the child reached toward him. All three woman stopped what they were doing, Rinoa smiled gently and nodded her head. A clear sign she wished for him to come closer. Raising his brows Squall slightly shook his head, he was afraid he may break the small boy. Another fear rose in him. His hands had been bloodied, he'd murdered people, how could he be a good father when he wasn't even a good person?

"You are a good person. You'll be an amazing father." Rinoa's soft voice broke through his fear and he felt a small part of him agree with her. Frowning slightly he slowly made his way towards the side of her bed once more, she held the child out towards him and he gingerly picked him up. Cradling him to his chest Squall could feel tears streak down his cheeks. He glanced back up to see tears mirroring his own on Rinoa's pink tinged cheeks "I love you." she whispered, their eyes locked and he bent down slightly to kiss her. "I love you too." he smiled, kissing her temple he stood up once more, his attention back on the small bundle in his arms. He smiled slightly as he took in his knew son, his legacy.

"You gotta show the world the thunder." Squalls voice was so soft he could barely hear himself, which was good because he wasnt even sure where that came from, but he felt he had to say it. It was simply one of those thoughts that needed to be said.

"Whats his name?" Selphie cooed from the corner, her voice thick with happy tears.

The happy parents looked at each other and spoke at the same time

"Xavier."
