The Death Star

Chapter 5: The Birth

Squall, Selphie, and Irvine stepped off the Ragnorak. They entered Balamb Garden. Squall was immediately greeted by Rinoa.
"Squall! You're back!" She gave him a hug.
He hugged back. "So how are you?"
"...Ummm...can we have a little talk...?" Rinoa said softly.
Squall nodded, his eyes full of concern. "Ok Rinoa, just tell me what's wrong."
Rinoa and Squall walked to their room and sat down on their bed. "Well...I went to the infirmary."
"Are you sick?! Are you ok?!" Squall said quickly and put his hand on Rinoa's forehead, seeing if she had a fever.
Rinoa laughed a little. "I'm fine...but I...we...we have a baby!" She quickly said.
Squall repeated her words to himself, not really beiliving what he heard. We have a baby! We have a baby! Squall looked at Rinoa with an odd expression in which Rinoa had never seen Squall have.
"Umm...Squall? Are you ok?"
Squall let out his breath. "Rinoa...we have a baby!" He smiled widely. "We have a baby!"
Rinoa smiled up at him. "Don't be so happy yet...I'm a sorceress...I give birth sooner...maybe next week or two! If I give birth to a sorceress...they will be a Death Star! Death Stars are powerful sorcerss! I'm so scared Squall! I don't want to kill our baby...but if we don't...and it is a Death Star...then..." Rinoa cried into Squall's chest.
Squall sat there numb. Baby...Death Star...evil... Squall hugged Rinoa tightly. "Rin...are you sure it will be a sorceress? It might be a human right?"
"Right...but what if it isn't!" Rinoa cried.
Squall and Rinoa's eyes met. "...If this concerns the whole world's danger...I think our choice..."
"Is to kill our baby..." Rinoa said softly and cried. "Before it is born..."
* * *
The news of Rinoa's baby had spread quickly and Selphie was as hyper as ever. "Oh my golie gosh! Rin you have a baby!"
Everyone was at the cafeteria. Rinoa looked at Squall and she sighed, "Not for long..."
All her friends looked confused. "Huh?"
Squall sighed to. "We can't have the baby...it might be a Death Star...which is a sorceress born from a sorceress...the Death Star can easilly take over the world...we can't let that happen just because of our baby."
Everyone was speechless. Quistis looked hard at Squall. "So Rinoa's going to put the baby down...?"
Rinoa slowly nodded, "Yes...for the world..."
"I'm so sorry..." Bella whispered.
Irvine and Zell both were speechless. Selphie wasn't any jumpier anymore. "Poor little baby..." She mumbled softly under her breath.
* * *
Mommy...mommy! The little girl's voice called.
Rinoa turned around to the direction of the voice in the darkness. "Who are you?"
Mommy! Why do you want to kill me? The voice said sadly.
"Oh my god, you're my baby!" Rinoa cried and looked around.
Why? Why do you want to kill me?! The voice said, now it sounded sad.
Rinoa felt a tear slip down her cheek. "I really don't want to! But, you might be a Death Star and..."
I'll be good when I get born! I'll be good!
Rinoa closed her eyes. "I'm sorry...but I have to..."
Then everything was gone.
Rinoa awoke and sat up. Cold sweat trickling down her face. She looked to her right. Squall was sleeping, calmly. Rinoa sighed. Did my baby just talk to me? Like it did in the washroom? Impossible...babies don't talk...it's not even born yet!
She layed back down and tried to go back to sleep.
* * *
The next morning, Rinoa tried to get up but in shock that her tummy was already quite big. She yelped which awoke Squall and he to looked at the round stomach in shock.
"I didn't know it would be that quick!" Rinoa cried.
Squall got up. "Do you think it's time?"
"I guess...it's so soon..." Rinoa winced. "Just kicked..."
Squall smiled, "Already kicking...sure growing fast..."
"And sure dead fast..." Rinoa said softly.
They both changed and went to the infirmary. Rinoa sighed, "Dr Kadowaki...we want the baby dead...today..."
"So soon?" Dr Kadowaki asked.
Squall nodded, "It's growing quite fast. Faster than we think..."
"Ok then...Squall can you just wait outside?"
Squall relucntantly left his angel and sat on the nearby seats outside the infirmary. Rinoa laid down on the infirmary bed as Dr Kadowaki got what she needed. All of a sudden, a bright purple light surrounded Rinoa before the docter could start.
Mommy! Why do you want to kill me?! A very angry voice asked.
Squall, hearing the little kids voice quickly went into the infirmary to see Rinoa's surrounded by purple light. "What the heck?!"
Daddy! Why do you all want to kill me?!
Squall looked at Rinoa for an answer. Rinoa give him a nodd, "It's our daughter..."
The purple light shrank and came out of Rinoa's tummy.
You are all mean! The girl's voice screamed.
Everyone in the room looked in horror as the purple light disappeared. All that was left was a baby.
Rinoa looked over to Squall, fear in her eyes. Squall look back into Rinoa's round brown eyes. "She's...born..."
Rinoa's tummy had flattened. Dr Kadowaki picked up the baby. "This baby looks human..."
"Human?! Do you think?" Rinoa said, a hint of hope in her voice.
The doctor nodded, "It may be human...I'll do a few DNA checks and tests and blood samples. We should be able to see if it is a sorceress or not. If it isn't, then you got yourself a little girl!"
Squall smiled at Rinoa. She smiled back.
"Maybe our baby isn't a Death Star..."
