Love lost love found

Chapter 8
Zell ran into the training center as fast as his legs could carry him, "ERIKA! ERIKA WHERE ARE YOU?" he shouted at the top of his lungs. There suddenly came a loud roar and another round of screaming that was suddenly cut short, his face paled and he ran in the direction the screams came from.
Zell felt his heart stop for a second when he rounded the corner to come face to face with a rather large t-rexaur. He noticed to the left Erikas limp and lifeless body, blood running down her arms and legs. He ducked as he heard a shot fired, he looked at the t-rexaur to see it thrashing around in pain, he looked in the direction the shot came from, Irvine and Seifer stood there, wepons at the ready, Rinoa and Selphie stood behind them, panic written all over their faces. "Get her outta here" Irvine yelled down to Zell, firing a couple more rounds into the huge monster, "We'll take care of this ass hole". Zell bundled Erika up into his arms and ran as fast as he could away from the sceen. Once at the entrance to the center he laid her down and cast cure, his finger tips glowed a light green as they made contact with her wounds, stopping the blood flow and knitting the flesh back together. *Best get her to Dr Kadowaki, but she won't be in till the morning*. He stroked Erikas hair and picked her back up again. "Come on my love" he whispered slightly.
The next morning Erika woke up feeling sore and rather grogy. She sat for a while to let her eyes focus, her head pounding. She then realised someone was there with her. Erika carefully rolled herself over and smiled, Zell was sitting in a chair beside the bed asleep, his body slumped over and his head resting on pillow beside hers. She reached over and traced his tattoo with her finger. Zell moaned slightly and slowly opened his eyes, he then bolted upright and cluched Erikas hand in his own, a worried exprssion on his face. "Oh god Erika, thank god your okay, your not badly hurt are you?". Erika pushed a strand of golden hair back behind her ear and gave his hand a gental squeeze. "Zell, i'm sorry i hurt you, i should have told you what was going on, but i wanted it to be a surprise and......" Zell silenced her with a kiss. "I'm the one who should apologise, i over reacted, I'm sorry". Zell pulled himself up onto the bed beside her and pulled her into his arms. "I am going to take you to Dr Kadowaki, so lets get you washed and dressed ok?", he reached out his hand for hers. Erika took his hand and looked at it, a smile spread across her face, "You like it then". Zell looked down at the ring on his middle finger and blushed, "Yeah i love it. Hey! how did you know i wanted it?" Erika tapped the side of her nose lightly "Thats for me to know and you to find out".
"Zell, i think i could have walked you know.", Zell sighed lightly "You said your legs were sore and i don't want them to get worse by walking too much". Zell leaned forward and kissed Erika on the forhead and continued to carry her down the corridor towards the infirmary. "Heeeeeyyy!" Selphie yelled at the top of her voice, Zell turned round to find the spunky young woman running towards them, Irivne was holding her hand and was stumbling along behind her trying to keep up. "hang on, we want to come too".
Erika lay on the bed quite still as Dr Kadowaki looked over her, she picked up a sheet of paper that held some reading from the computer, "Well Erika, your a fit and healthy, just take these to help the swelling and....." she stopped short and looked closer at the readings. Zell looked at Erika and then Kadowaki, a look of worry on his face, "Is everything alright doc?" he asked. "yeah everything is okay but the computer is giving me funny readings, give me a second while i examine you again".
Dr Kadowaki came back a few minutes later after taking more tests, a big grin spread from ear to ear.
"Erika, i need to aks you some questions, it will confirm if these results are correct or not", Erika silently nodded her head and prepared herself for the questions.
"Erika, have you been feeling ill at all this morning", Erika nodded. "Yes, i thought it might have beeen shock from yesterday". Kadowaki nodded and wrote this down.
"how about eating? had any cravings for anything in paticular?". Selphie's face paled as she realised why she might have been asking these questions. "Ummm, i have had a thing for white chocolate, recently but thats about it", Dr Kadowaki took this down too.
"hmmmm, Erika, when is your period due". Erika thought for a second, "I was actually due yesterday. Wait! your not actually saying that i might be..........." Dr Kadowaki held up the results from the computer and nodded. Selphie screamed out in delight and hugged her best friend, Irvine shook Zells hand. Erika looked down, he face extreamly pale, she felt quite sick. "Oh god" she whispered, she burried her face in her hands and began to sob uncontrolably, "Why did this have to happen, i'm too young to be a mother, oh Zell what are we going to do?". Zell jumped up and gathered her into his arms, "shhhhhhh, don't worry about it, i'm sure we will cope somehow" he soothed, stroking her hair and rocking her back and forth. Erika began to calm down and leaned her head on Zells shoulder.
"No matter what happens i'll always be here for you" he wispered
"I Promise"
Yeah yeah i know, the ending was really really crap but i didn't have a clue what to do!
