AN: thank you for reading.

Ten: Kimi no

The day went by as always, as nothing ever changed in garden. Squall locked himself in his office working hard on getting things together for the next poor soul who was taking his place, though he didn't care really. He was leaving with his wife for a life away from Cid and with what he felt was his family. Chuckling lightly, Squall's stormy eyes scanned the papers in his hand. They would be leaving this place in two weeks. In two weeks they would be in a new place with a new life; together with Quistis.

Meanwhile Quistis was in the training center blowing off steam. She had killed most of the bigger game, or else frightened them away. Bring her whip down hard on a Grat, she killed it with one hit, growling she went after another. "Fucking ass." She grumbled as she looked for another animal to fight; a rustle in the bushes grabbed her attention. Swinging her whips around she moved to strike whatever it was dead, but stopped when she noticed the blond spikes of her friend Zell.

Having a late reaction she moved her hand just in time to only nip the very tip of Zell's spiked blond hair. Yelping Zell stood up and glared at whoever touched his hair, but once he saw Quistis his eyes softened. "O... Sorry." Zell said as his face turned a bit red as Quistis' twisted her whip in frustration.

"Zell what the hell is wrong with you!? Someone could have killed you!" Quistis snapped as she glared at him hard. Zell opened his mouth to speak but Quistis stopped him. "No wait... Don't answer. It's you." Quistis mumbled while sighing as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "Sorry…. I've been rather stressed…" The blond woman added as she shook her head wanting to take a moment to breath. Zell looked her over and frowned, noting how tired she was looking and how the glow was fading from her face.

"I can see." Zell mumbled as he walked closer to her, worry covering his face. "Everything ok?" Zell asked while reaching up to touch her cheek. He was worried about her, and unlike Seifer, Zell took care to stay calm and let her explain when she was ready, rather than push her into answering him right away.

Quistis nodded as he placed her hand on top of his. "Yes. I am. I'm just tired." Quistis whispered as she ran a hand down her face and groaned softly. Zell pulled her closer to himself, wrapping his arms around her gently. "Ug... I swear one day someone is going to kill Cid and everyone will celebrate." Quistis grumbled as she let Zell hold her close. Zell chuckled lightly as he pulled back and looked her in the eyes, offering her a small smile as he wouldn't mind that so much.

"What happened?" Zell questioned not wanting to push Quistis but knew she would tell him soon. "He wants me to transfer to Esthar. The papers are already in." Quistis said with a small sigh as she closed her eyes and leaned into the shorter blond. Zell's mouth dropped open as he looked his close friend in the eyes; there was no way in hell he was going to let her go, and neither would Seifer. "Hey... Come on. I'll go up to the office and grab papers for Seifer and me. We'll put them in tonight." Zell offered as he smiled at Quistis with bright eyes.

Smiling lightly Quistis let Zell drag her out of the training center and up to the elevator, his mind set on getting the paperwork in and everything done. "Zell…" She mumbled softly not sure if Seifer really wanted to go as well with them. "Don't worry Quisty. I know Seifer will want to come and we're not letting you leave alone… And as Seifer would say," Zell added as he puffed up his chest to make the best impression he could muster of his lover. "We aren't leaving her alone with that Ice Prince." Zell let go of a laugh as he shook his head and smiled at the bruent.

Both laughed playfully as they headed to Squall's office, with their papers in hand, having joked as they filled them out. The commander had to look them over and approve the paper work before Cid got them. It was no problem, Squall would approve and everyone would leave together. They were family, which was the plan.

That night every gathered in Squall's room, making sure the whole group knew what was going on. Everyone even Rinoa agreed on making to move together to stay as a family, seeing as they were all they had. They had found one another after years of not remembering and wished to keep it that way. Once they were gone Quistis curled into Squall's lap and smiled softly up at him. "Are we really going to try for another baby? I mean if so... we should make our marriage known." Quistis said softly as she pressed into the man.

"Yes. Maybe we should make it known." Squall said softly kissing the blonde's lips while holding her close. There was a knock on the door that made them both sigh, slowly getting annoyed when they were interrupted all the time like this. Getting up Squall made his way over to the door finding Cid standing there. "We have to talk my boy.' Cid demanded as he looked the pair over.

The small man pushed his way past Squall and sighed. "I just got done talking with the doctor. I know who the father is now and I didn't you tell me." Cid's small eyes burned into Squall as he spoke. Glancing back for a moment Squall looked to the sofa where Quistis was laying down, thankful he fat little man hadn't noticed her.

"We didn't break any laws so I didn't see it as needed to know information." Squall said; giving off a small sigh the stormy eyed man looked down at Cid. "But you did.' Cid huffed out, his short frame looking as though it had been puffed up. "You're a higher SeeD than she is. You can not have a relationship with her." Cid said out right as he watched the brunet with worried eyes. Growling Squall towered over the older man, fire burning in his eyes. "We never dated. The laws only state we couldn't court one another. There was no dating courtship or anything like that between us." Squall snapped as he looked down on the short man wanting to be intimidating to the man more than anything at this moment. Cid was at one point like a father to him but right now he was a threat and that had to be removed.

"You can not say that, Squall you can not look me in the eyes and say that. You two have been together and it's clear. This is costing Trepe her job." Cid snapped as he looked at the brunet without backing down. Slowly Quistis sat up to watch the two in a power struggle, wanting to intervene but not knowing when. Squall looked rather intimidating standing over Cid, glaring at him demanding him to stop talking at once. "We never dated. We got drunk and married when we were on vacation." He stated simply knowing the trough was best. "There's nothing about marriage in Garden laws." Squall stated bluntly while taking a deep breath as Cid looked Squall over.

"It's true sir." Quistis said as she got up and came out from behind the sofa; Quistis walked to Squall, wrapping her arms around him. "We got drunk and woke up the next day married to one another." Quistis stated right out as she gripped Squall's hand tightly in her own while looking to the shorter man. Blinking rather fast the smaller man looked Quistis over then Squall taking his time. He wasn't sure if the pair was lying or not. Sighing he shook his head. "I have no proof either way. Squall you are denied your transfer and Quistis will be moved though she may keep her position as instructor." Cid commented as he stepped back while Squall took a step closer to the small man.

"Squall." Quistis whispered as she held him back not wanting him to attack the headmaster. "I am sorry but unless I have proof there was no courting then there is nothing I can do." Cid stammered as he turned and left. Quistis looked over at Squall and smiled sadly at him. "It's aright love.. I can head out and we'll see one another." She whispered softly. Sighing she cuddled him keeping him from going after Cid.

"This is annoying." Squall growled out as he pressed into Quistis with a small sigh. "I know my love." Quistis whispered out as she kissed Squall's neck and smiled gently at him. "But we can find something that will help." He said softly with a small chuckle as Quistis' fingers brushed along his neck and hit a ticklish spot.

Blinking at Squall's chuckles Quistis smiled as she ran her hand over the spot again. "You're ticklish." Quistis said softly as she ran her hand back over the spot again. Pulling back Squall shook his head. "No.' He said softly as he shook his head. "Yes" Quistis commented as she went to touch him again. Backing up the brunet laughed softly as he turned to turn away from Quistis. "Get back here.' The blond woman called out chasing him. The pair laughed as they ran around playing letting go of their pent up energy go in a happy playful manner.

It was going to be a hard for the group to stay together and live like they wanted to. Sighing Quistis flopped on the bed with Squall after chasing him into the bedroom. Groaning she cuddled up with him. "What are we going to do?" Quistis wondered softly as she kissed his cheek. Squall sighed deeply as he ran his hand down her back. "I do not know; I could threaten Cid and just leave." He whispered as he kissed her head softly not fully sure on what to do with anything. "If you want to do so." Quistis whispered as she ran her hand down his chest gently. Squall hummed as he snuggled her to him and nipped her hear. "I will go in and speak with him tomorrow my wife." Squall whispered as he ran his hand down her back with a small smile. "Sleep my love tomorrow is a new day." Squall whispered as he smiled down at her. That night the pair slept wrapped in one another's arms.
