ch6 (WARNING: Some sex in this chapter but it it tasteful the story on the whole might be R but I guess this chapter is NC17 but I did want Irvine and Selphie to have a heathy normal relationship and nobody else ever does that it seems I hope this isn't too lemony. Oh and for the person who wanted this to be a yuri I don't see that happening at this point)

Chapter 6 An Unhappy Birthday Party

The Zell-Rinoa birthday party took place on a sunny unusually warm day for March. It would have been a wonderful day except for the absence of Quistis and Selphie. Quistis had called the night before and said she and Selphie were staying in the Galbadia hotel but that they would be back for the party. But so far there was no sign of them.
Ma Dincht and General Caraway had bonded quite nicely after their children's adventures and had volunteered (a little too eagerly in Rinoa and Zell's opinions) to plan the joint birthday party. But all in all things had been planned well but that didn't mean things were going so great. Irvine was sick with worry for his girlfriend and the others couldn't help but wonder about sweet little Selphie either.
Ma brought out the cake, "Who's for some of this cake? C'mon I know you kids are sad but I know how teenagers love to eat!"
Zell brushed her off, "Stuff it Ma!
Ma was hurt but Caraway came over and took a slice of cake, "Mmmm Liza I sure love cake!" He gave her a kiss on the cheek and Zell and Rinoa winced.
Squall whispered to Irvine, "I think a little love is in the air!"
Irvine knew Squall was trying to cheer him up, "Yeah but what would Zell and Rinoa say?"
Squall snorted rudely, "Rinoa would scream!"
"I heard that Squall!" Rinoa snapped.
"Yeah but you know you still want me anyway even if I am dirty minded!"
Irvine tried to join in, "Yeah but you learn all your tricks from me Squallerina!"
Rinoa laughed, "Squallerina!"
Liza looked relieved, "Well it's good to see you kids having fun!"
Just then the doorbell ringed. Liza sighed, "I'm coming! I'm coming!"
Caraway stopped her, "I'll get it!"
Liza sank into a nearby chair, "Thank you Richard!"
Richard went to the door and came back a few moments later to the backyard with Selphie and Quistis. Irvine ran over and picked up Selphie and swung her around covering her in kisses. Quistis looked sad and the others noticed it. Rinoa wanted to ask how the hospital visit had gone and if Selphie was alright. She opened her mouth to speak but her father started speaking before her.
"Well Liza and I would like all you kids to know that we've grown very close within the last couple of months. And so we've decided to get married!" Richard put his arms around Liza.
Rinoa groaned, "Zell and I are going to be brother and sister? ewwww!!"
Squall laughed, "At least you aren't Zell's girlfriend!"
Lindy whined, "I am and I think it's wierd!"
Liza rolled her eyes, "Well we were hoping for a little more support!"
Zell stammered, "Well we're just surprised but congratulations Ma and Rinoa's Dad!"
Richard shook Zell's hand, "Thanks!"
Selphie hadn't said anything to this point. She knew she needed to tell her friends how ill she was but she didn't want to crash the party. She looked at Quistis for help and Quistis shrugged and nodded. But thankfully Rinoa knew Selphie wanted to say something even if Irvine was crushing her in his arms.
Rinoa cleared her throat, "So how did the doctor visit go Selphie?"
Selphie looked at the ground in despair, "Not so great..."
This comment shattered the semi-happy mood. Irvine wrapped her in his arms tightly, "Sefie? Quisty what happened?"
Quistis began to speak, "Selphie has..."
Selphie snapped, "Fuck you Quistis! I am so goddamn sick of being treated like a baby by everyone! I can speak for myself! FINE! Do you guys wanna know what it is? I have bone cancer! Ok? Bone Cancer! And there is no cure! I'm going to die! Don't try to butter it up because you can't make this any sweeter! Alright? Oh and I'm sorry I ruined the party but there is no way in hell I want you to have a happy birthday when I'm so miserable! Nothing personal..."
She broke free from Irvine's grasp and ran off down the beach. The rest of the group was speechless and all of them stood there looking like a bunch of horse asses for a moment.
Irvine spoke up, "I 'll go try and talk to her..."
Irvine walked down the sandy stretch of Balamb beach behind the Dincht's house. It didn't take him so long to find Selphie. She sat on a piece of driftwood with her head buried in her knees as she sobbed. Irvine thought she looked so beautiful and heartbroked sitting there. He touched her lightly on the shoulder.
"Sefie? Babydoll? I'm sorry about..."
She looked at him sadly, "No use being sorry over anything. I shouldn't have yelled at everyone like that. I'm just so scared Irvine... The doctors said there was so little hope for me. They gave me a year to live if I'm lucky. Irvy, I don't want to die. I don't want to die! God... I can't die Irvine... Rinoa and I were going to open a daycare center and I-I oh shit Irvine life isn't fair!"
He sat down with her and opened his coat up to cover her in it, "Oh babydoll... Sefie... I know... I don't want you to die... I don't want you sick like this either.. . bone cancer... you must hurt so much."
She nodded, "They have me on pain killers and I get chemotherapy soon... Irvine I just want it all to go away. This is like a bad dream.
"Shhshh sweetie... I wish I could make you better... Is there anything you want me to do?"
Her answer suprised him since it was the farthest away from his thoughts imaginable, "Will you make love to me? It's been a long time and I just want to feel good for once. Please Irvy? Make me forget the pain..."
His body ached for her but he didn't want to hurt her as frail as she was. Irvine looked into her big green eyes and saw her love, fear and desire looming in them. He leaned to kiss her soft pink lips and let his tongue trail into her mouth. "I love you Sefie..." he whispered softly. Selphie wrapped her tiny arms around his hard chest and kissed him hard then. His hand strayed down to the hem of her short skirt and he caressed the inside of her thighs.
"Selphie? are you sure this is ok?" He groaned into her neck as she wrapped her legs around him.
"Irvine... we've made love before... why wouldn't it be?" She ran a trail of tiny kisses over his face.
Irvine sighed, "Because of the... cancer..."
"I'm the same girl you loved before... you're not going to hurt me... please don't be afraid of me now when I need you the most."
Irvine knew what she wanted. He knew her so well. Anything to make her happy he would do for his precious Selphie. He was so upset over the prospect of her dieing that he didn't know if he could make love to her then but for her sake Irvine would try. He reached again for the hem of her minidress and gently he lifted it off of her and set it on the ground. He kissed her breasts gently through her lace bra, wanting to go slow for her this time, not wanting to hurt her. He immediately felt guilty for remembering past occasions where they'd coupled in a passsionate frenzy. Selphie's hands fumbled with his belt buckled and he felt himself go hard at the feel of her tiny hands on him. She was a good foot shorter then him and at least 75 pounds lighter, hence his nickname 'babydoll' which he wasn't entirely sure she liked.
"Irvine? Could you take these off please?" She pleaded.
"Now?"
"yes now... I want you now... "
He took his clothes off and set them in the sand where her dress was lying. Selphie sat crosslegged and watched him with a wistful smile on her face. "I love seeing you like this cowboy. You are the most beautiful man alive. " He dropped to the ground beside her and groaned as her hands stroked his hardened sex. Their mouths met in desparation and Irvine forgot all about the promise he'd made to go slow for Selphie.
He reached to take off her bra and struggled with the clasp.
"Irvy let me help you. Although I can't see why you can't do it yourself..."
"Selphie.. you're so small and perfect"
"you could think of something new to say this time..."
"Aw no I couldn't babydoll..."
He slid her panties off her legs and cupped the warm wetness between them in his hands. He stroked he lightly where he knew she liked it most until she shrieked and begged him to stop. He wasn't going to stop until he knew she was ready. Irvine felt Selphie's body jerk and shudder in a familiar way when she reached her climax.
"Irvine..." She whispered out of breath as she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist.
He pushed legs gently down and positioned himself between them. She gasped as he entered her and they moved together.
"Selphie... I love you so much...."
"I love you too..."
He climaxed hard into her while she clung hard to his back. When it was over the two of them lay spent in the sand too weak to move.
"Thank you..." she whispered softly.
"You don't have to thank me."
"I know but I want to..."
"I don't want thanks from the woman that I love..."
"You made me feel better than I have in a long time..."
"Selphie... we took a risk today.. do you think you can get pregnant from this?"
"I don't think so..."
