The first night was, enjoyable the baby was silent no stirring until 2 am when Gippal was forced from bed due to Rikku's heavy sleeping. He walked down the hallway to Rikku's room to find her not there, he continued to where the baby was and leaned in the doorway as she sang the hymns of hush little baby in Al bhed, he could faintly hear her but he knew the words from his own mother. The baby settled down and stopped crying with minimal gurgles of protest then placed into the hamper like bed. She pulled the covers over the baby to its tiny shoulders and turned around to go back to bed to see Gippal watching his eyes was lowered like he was tired, she wouldn't tease him about watching her until tomorrow. He walked her back to her room then returning to his further down the hallway.
Rikku tossed and turned in her bed and rested on her back forcing her hands to the bed frustrated, she looked over to her left and touched the empty spot. She got up poking her head out the door into the dark hallway. Turning she sneaked out into the hallway looking over her shoulder and walked to were the baby was and smiled seeing it stir momentarily and go back into its deep sleep. She heard noises from Gippal's room that was behind the babies and she ran to her room as silently as she could flopping to the bed and acted like she was sleeping just as her door opened a crack then shut. His door shut and she got up again hearing a creak and jumped back into bed and Gippal's door shut again. She couldn't help but to laugh into her pillow then got up again and walked to the baby's room looking at Gippal who held the sleeping child in the strong arms. "I think the baby will be ok without us. "He jumped from her voice and looked at her hardly dressed so he diverted his eyes to the baby which he set back into the crib and walked towards her.
"I couldn't sleep." He said she nodded "I can't either" she said he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and lead her to his room shutting the door behind them and laid in bed. She snuggled against his chest her arm wrapped over his waist his fingers combed threw her soft hair as he stared at the ceiling Rikku fell asleep long before he thought about it he didn't want to try to sleep like this just wanted to enjoy her warmth like it used to be, the way he still wanted it to be. He thought about the box and looked at it on his dresser a walking distance away and shook his eyes and kissed her head… "Sleep tight"
It was time. They made it safely with baby in tow to the island. Gippal was as normal prepared to get on his soap box and speak his mind like he was to do and Rikku was under cover in the crowd baby in resting in her arms her hair pulled under a black wig which didn't suit her natural glowing nature as Gippal but it but it would do. She kept her head low and walked threw the crowds hearing what the people had to say about the new Al bhed threat that was supposedly going around. She walked past a woman who stared at the baby in her arms, she stopped, turning around to see the woman gone and raised a brow. "Your mothers here somewhere little one." She said lowly and continued her rounds. She came to a spot in the back her arms tired from the weight of the baby.
She started to walk threw the crowd again and saw the woman again and turned to avoid a large man and then saw her walking threw the crowd. She started to run and Gippal watched as Rikku took off towards him jumping on the stage handing him the baby and jumped back off Gippal looked at the baby then the crowd that clapped and cheered again at his baby care. Rikku pulled her wig and cloak off stashing them in the ally way she grabbed her blades and tossed one in the woman's direction the woman froze and turning to look at Rikku who was not in the least out of breath as she walked up. "Why did you give me the baby." She said the woman lowered her eyes. "I have to Gil to take care of the baby and myself." She rasped. Rikku finally reached her pulling the blade from the hut like wall and dug into her pocket. "I have 3,000 Gil I want you to take it and the baby and go to Besaide, Look for Yuna and she will take you in so you can stop giving the baby away to strangers." She said.
The woman looked up her blue eyes welled to the brim with watery tears and collapsed into Rikku's chest bawling her eyes out. Rikku rubbed her back soothing her body racking sobs and soon heard the faint sniffle allowing the woman to relax and look back at her. "Where is my baby?" she asked Rikku wrapped her arms around her shoulder leading her back to the crowd that was slowly separating as Gippal said his final words to the people and got off the stage like area then made his way to Rikku the baby over his shoulder.
"This mom?" he asked Rikku nodded and the woman tried to hold back the tears. Gippal simply handed it over Rikku looked at him as he studied the woman's face. Rikku gave her the money and she left to the boat, they knew because they fallowed her.
"Ow!" Gippal said as Rikku squeezed his shoulder too tight when she massaged his shoulders from the hard speech making stress, they went back to a hut like hotel and were going to leave tomorrow afternoon but it had started to rain. "I think who ever was underground will have a harder time convincing the people once again that we are the bad people" He said going threw the file and spotted the box getting up to her it. "I wonder what the hell was the deal with the box drop off." He said getting up she yawned taking his seat. "I don't know what to tell you something for my dad maybe?" she asked taking the drink he was drinking taking a swig he turned to sit back down and gave her an odd look seeing her in his chair. He looked back to the box and opened it then shut it almost instantly, Rikku set the bottle down about to stand up but he laughed, "You ready for bed?" he asked she nodded tossing the bottle which he caught. "Yeah" she said brushing her bangs from her face walking to the bed room.
He fallowed suit his eyes traveling to her hips which swayed which made him want to grab them and swing with them he looked away at the walls then turned into his room she flopped onto her back, he looked at her what were they?
Rikku looked at Gippal as he pulled his shirt off walking to the bed he crawled over her only to be stopped by her hand that touched his face he bent closer to her face her eyes were so clear it was like he was swimming in the swirled pupils of her never ending emerald green eyes. His lips brushed hers gently then again she smiled and meeting him half way propping herself up to deepen the kiss. He sat supporting himself with one arm the other to her chin that traveled to her hair knotting his fingers in her lush soft mane. Her tongue pushed his lips apart giving her the access that he wanted deepening the kiss further their tongues roaming over each other exploring the carvers of their partner's mouths.
"Rikku?"
Rikku snapped out of her daze and looked at Gippal who she was stopping from moving and lowered her hand and diverted her eyes rolling over to face away from him. He looked at her as he crawled under his covers turning to face the wall and raised a brow it was like they were going to bed angry. She clamped her eyes shut and covered them with her hands as she let out a breath of anger as silent as she could and relaxed rolling over to her back and looked at Gippal who was already drifting and sighed allowing herself to relax and struggle against his back he rolled over and pulling her into his arms. "Night kido." He said "night." She said lowly and smiled as he kissed her head and settled.
