The Death Star

Chapter 4: Shocking News

Rinoa awoke to find herself lying on the bathroom floor. She slowly stood up. How long have I been unconcious? She thought as she walked over to the clock perched on the night table. To her shock, the time hadn't changed at all! That little girl...that voice...who? Rinoa decided to wash her face, maybe she was dreaming. Just then she threw up again. Fine, I'm going to the stupid infirmary!
She went out the door and quickly headed for the infirmary. She knocked on the door and stepped into the bright clean room.
"Oh hi dear!" Dr Kadowaki smiled.
Rinoa smiled back. "I think I may be sick of some sort..."
"Okay...describe it," Dr Kadowaki took a clipboard and a pencil.
"Well, after the day of my birthday party...in the morning, I threw up. After that, I've been having tummy aches and throwing up..." Rinoa explained. "Is there something wrong with me?"
Dr Kadowaki smiled oddly. "Not really...well, if you tell me something. Have Squall and you...like you know...done anything together of that type of thing."
Rinoa blushed and nodded slowly.
"Well...you have a baby!" Dr Kadowaki exclaimed happily.
Rinoa stood there in shock. "I do?! But we just slept together for one night! It wouldn't react that fast would it? Doesn't it take like a few months?!" She was still in shock.
"Don't get so shocked. It's a natural thing humans do...or sorceress...hmmm....I never thought of sorceress' giving birth. I'm not really sure if it will be the same as humans." The docter explained.
Rinoa sat down by a nearby chair. "Do...do you think that my baby might be a sorceress?"
Kadowaki stayed silent for a while then replied, "It could be likely...I think you should ask Edea about this sorceress stuff. For now, just take care of yourself. If anything goes wrong, just come here."
"Thanks," Rinoa left without another word, still quite shocked.
I have a baby! Squall's baby! I'm a mother! He's a father! Wow! What if Squall doesn't want the baby? What if... Rinoa bumped into Quistis.
"Sorry Quisty!"
Quistis nodded, "It's ok. I wasn't looking to. Did you just come from the infirmary?"
"Yes..."
"Oh, what's wrong?" Quistis asked.
Rinoa slowly replied. "This may be shocking...but I...have...a....baby!"
Quistis took a few seconds to let the words hit her then she clapped her hands together. "Oh my god Rinoa! Really?! So Squall's a father!" She laughed at the thought.
"Yep! Don't tell Squall yet...I want to tell him myself..." Rinoa smiled. "What if I'm not a good mother?"
Quistis give Rinoa a little hug. "You would do fine!"
Rinoa smiled gratefully at Quistis. "Thanks."

Edea went to open her door when she heard a soft knock. "Oh Rinoa, hi there."
"Hi Edea! I was wondering if you would help me on some sorceress stuff..." Rinoa asked.
Edea smiled lovingly at Rinoa. "Of course. Come in."
The former sorceress led Rinoa to a seat and took a seat herself. "So what's wrong?"
"I...have a baby!" Rinoa cried.
Edea looked shocked and turned pale. "A baby...? Are...are...you positive?" She asked quickly.
Rinoa looked into Edea's eyes questioningly, but shrugged it off. "Yes, I'm positive. I've been throwing up and I went to Dr Kadowaki and everything!"
"Rinoa dear...listen to me..." Edea said slowly and fearfully.
Rinoa leaned her head to one side. "Ok..." Must be bad news...
"You are a sorceress. Have you noticed why Cid and I haven't had a baby, but instead had an orphanage?" Edea asked Rinoa.
"Yes...I have noticed..."
Edea tooka breath. "When sorceress give brith, they give birth to a Death Star. That is what they are called. Death Stars. But they are only called Death Stars if they were born to be a sorceress. If they aren't, then they are just human, and everything is fine."
Rinoa nodded slowly, not really sure if she wanted to know more.
Edea continued. "A Death Star has the powers to destroy the world, very easilly infact. They have the powers 50 times as powerful as Ultimecia. The reason that I don't dare give birth, is that I fear that it can be a Death Star. They can kill us all. No one can stop them..."
"No! Isn't it possible to...to change them?! Teach them that it is wrong to destroy the world?!" Rinoa said desperately.
Edea stayed silent for a few seconds. "I don't know...maybe...not likely...but no one knows cause no sorceress on the universe has given birth yet..."
"I...I don't want to kill my baby..." Rinoa said, tears slowly forming at the brim of her eyes. "It's Squall's to! It's our blood...our...our baby."
Edea nodded, "I understand...but you must understand that it may be a Death Star. The world will end easilly! Babies of a sorcerss get born fast. Maybe by the next week you'll have a big tummy!"
"Well, what if it is human?" Rinoa whispered.
"Then, the world is safe." Edea stated.
Rinoa sighed, "I don't know what to do..."
"Ask Squall dear...you two can make your decision...just remember that the world can be at sake..."
