Chapter 7- The President of Galbadia..
When Squall arrived at Garden, he saw the very last person he wanted to see. Seifer Almasy. He was so getting ready to gut Seifer.
"SEIFER! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Squall said VERY ANGRILY!
"Oh! Good Times my old and dearest friend. I am here as the President's body guard. He's in your office" Seifer smirked at him.
Squall stormed upstairs. He entered his office and slammed the door. But put on a calm face for the President.
"President Deling. What can I do for you?" Squall asking while shaking his hand.
"It's been a while Commander Leonhart. Eight years. Eight years after becoming president since my father was brutally murdered by a sorceress. Yes. That-" Deling was interrupted.
"What do you need Deling?" Squall started to shout at Vinzer Deling's son Mercutio.
"Ah…Yes…Well… Remember when my father teamed up with Edea-"
"Just get to the point Deling!" Squall said.
"Fine. Is there anyone here by the name of Rinoa Heartilly?" Deling asked coolly.
"Why do you ask?"
"Well because she is a sorceress and she will become evil like Edea and Adel. And Ultimecia. We have come to collect her to exterminate her. We have a good idea she is here Commander." Deling said as if Squall would understand.
But instead, Squall was infuriated.
"YOU WILL KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY WIFE! IS THAT CLEAR! RINOA HEARTILLY IS MY WIFE! IF YOU TOUCH HER, I SWEAR TO HY-"
"Whoa wait a minute. You married that slut? What a shame!" Deling said.
"My wife is NOT a slut Deling! And why is it a shame that I married her?"
"Well aren't SeeD supposed to KILL sorceresses and not MARRY them? She will turn evil commander! She must be stopped! Killed! So if you hand her over, nobody gets hurt except the sorceress!"
"YOU WILL NOT GET HER! I'M HER KNIGHT! I'LL PROTECT HER!" Squall shouted very angrily. "NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE BEFORE I MAIM YOU!"
"WE WILL HAVE HER COMMANDER! THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT! NOW YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!" Deling screamed as he slammed the door shut.

Squall stormed out to find Xu.
"Xu, get a team of the available strongest SeeD together and station them at my house until further notice and station the rest around the garden! NOW!" Squall said. "I'm going on a mission."

"Mr. President. How did it go?" Seifer asked.
"Just the way we planned. Now let's get our troops ready!" Deling said.

Rinoa took everything by surprise when she saw about forty SeeD stationed outside their house. But she disregarded it nonetheless. She just thought it was part of their field exam to 'protect' the commander's wife especially where she was still having those nightmares that were more like premonitions.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JASE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Everyone sang to him at his fifth birthday party.
This year they decided to have Jase's birthday party early. It was Squall's idea to have it early so that in case something did happen, Rinoa would be here to celebrate with him. And Rinoa took no notice of the reasons why Squall wanted it early.
"Come on Jase! Blow out the candles!" Squall said excitedly!
"And make a wish!" Rinoa said.
As Jase blew out the candles, everyone was cheering, including Squall. Squall went in to get more soda for his family.
"Uncle Squall?" Ian said.
"Yeah Ian?" Squall turned around to look at his nephew.
"Why are there SeeD around your house?" Ian asked.
"It's part of their mission. Something is supposed to happen and I'm just taking precautions. But you can't tell anyone Ian. As a SeeD cadet trainee, you are expected not to disclose any important information that I give you if you wish to become a SeeD." Squall said sternly.
"Oh ok. Is it because Auntie Rinoa is a sorceress?" Ian asked
Squall sighed. He didn't want to talk to Ian about this here at the house where everyone could overhear them.
"Ian, I would rather not talk about this here. Come to my office tomorrow and I will disclose any information I have. Now go out and enjoy some cake. And play with your cousins."
"Oh okay. See you tomorrow then Uncle Squall!" Ian said.
Squall walked back out with the soda, only to be jumped on and knocked over by Shamra!
"Uncle Squally! Uncle Squally!" Shamra said. "Gimme a piggy back ride. PWEASE!"
Squall started laughing. Not only was he covered in soda at this point but he was also giving Shamra a piggy back ride.
The rest of Jase's birthday party when on without a hitch. Zell. Irvine, Squall, and Nida spent the rest of the evening playing soccer with the kids.While Quistis, Selphie, Rinoa, and Emily started gossiping.
"Rinoa! You've gotten so big! Were you this big with Jase?" Quistis asked.
"Thanks for making me feel fat Quistis. I really appreciate it." Rinoa said sarcastically.
"Oh no problem. But where's Xu, Cid , Edea, Laguna and the General?" Quistis asked.
"Cid still had a lot of work to do for Garden. Especially where it's still in the process of being rebuilt. Edea couldn't take all the kids at the orphanage. Laguna is the president of Esthar. He needed to about the party ahead of time. This party was a last minute thing. And General never attends birthday parties. Even though Jase is his only grandson. That he hasn't seen in the last two years." Rinoa said. "He didn't even have a reaction when I told him I was pregnant again."
"Oh man that must be tough. Having a general for a father and let alone a grandfather." Selphie said.
"Yeah I mean, my Zelly's grandfather was a warrior in his time and Zell always wanted to be like him. And now that he is. I couldn't be more proud of him." Emily said.
Before they knew they were talking for hours. Now it was definitely time for them to leave.
"Bye Guys!" Squall said tiredly. Jase was already in the house getting ready for bed. Squall turned around and noticed Rinoa was asleep on the swing outside. He carefully picked her up and put her straight to bed successfully without waking her up. He went to tuck Jase in.
"Goodnight Jase." Squall said.
"Goodnight dad!" Jase said back.
