CHAPTER FIVE
Author's Note: Damn me. I haven't written in a while. Sorry about that.
Anyway, it's back, with a Shaq-attack! .....Whatever. Here's chapter
five, which breaks away from the overly Selphie/Irvine/Zell love triangle
theme of the fanfic. Don't worry, guys, it'll be back (in full force)
next chapter! Also, the tone of this chapter can be comical at times.
Sorry.

Rinoa walked in after hearing that Zell was finished. She smiled, "Mmm,
Zell, I wish Squall had such a nice singing voice!"
Zell faked a smile, "Thanks."
Rinoa looked down at him, "What's wrong, Zell? Something's up." Suddenly,
Rinoa started to cough uncontrollably and turned away from Zell, expecting
herself to vomit up her breakfast. She did.
Selphie ran to Rinoa in horror and turned to Zell, "Go get someone from
the infirmary to bring her down there, now! Tell someone else to go get
Squall!" Zell stared at her and Selphie got angry. "NOW!!!!!" Zell ran
away from both sickness at looking at Rinoa's green throw-up and Selphie's
scream.
Meanwhile, Selphie stayed at Rinoa's side. She tried to encourage her,
"It's okay, Rinoa. Everything's fine. Don't worry about the mess.
Help's coming in a few minutes." Rinoa continued to lose her breakfast
at an alarming rate.
Squall came rushing to the dorm room, "Rinoa!" Selphie and she looked up.
"Rinoa, what's wrong? What happened? What's going on?!"
At that moment, Rinoa stopped vomiting and immediately fell faint into
Squall's arms. Squall questioned Selphie, "What happened here?!"
Selphie told him, "She was a little under the weather this morning. She
could barely walk. She said everything was fine, but---"
Dr. Kadowaki came into the room with a stretcher that was carried by her
and Zell. She interrupted Selphie's words, "Selphie, Squall, get her on
here!" They complied, and they briskly walked to the infirmary, with
Squall holding Rinoa's hand.
Selphie and Zell sat on the chairs near the bed, while Squall settled Rinoa
onto it and looked at Kadowaki. "What do you think happened to her?"
She appeared grim. "I don't know. We'll have to wait until she wakes
up to get a proper diagnosis." She looked at Rinoa, then Squall, and then
her clipboard, which had the statistics of Rinoa Heartilly. "First, I'd
like to ask you all some questions about the patient."
Selphie and Zell nodded, and Squall looked concerned as he said, "Yes, of
course, doctor."
Kadowaki first questioned Selphie, "I understand you were with Rinoa this
morning?"
"Yes."
"How was she feeling?"
Selphie looked at her hands. "She was fine, except she had some trouble
walking."
"Can you elaborate?"
"Of course. While I was running along the road, she was just taking tiny
steps, like a baby."
"Has she had any other days like this recently?"
"No, no."
"All right. Zell told me all he knew when he got here, so Squall, please
be honest with me when you answer these questions. They're very important and
could lead us to a reliable conclusion right away. Have you had sexual
intercourse with Rinoa recently?"
Squall blushed and looked down as to hide his surprise at the question.
"Y-y-y-es...."
"Did you use protection?"
"Of course."
"The only 100%-effective method of staving off pregnancy is abstinence, you know?"
Squall put his hand on his head, in his trademark pose. 'She's pregnant...?
This can't be happening. Kadowaki's talking like Raijin, for crying out
loud! This can't be real. But, she might just have a cold. I hope so.'
"Squall?"
"Y-yes, doctor?" Squall suddenly remembered that she had asked him a question.
"Oh, yes, I know."
"All right. Let me try and wake her up now, so she can undergo some tests."
For some reason, Kadowaki slapped Rinoa and she immediately woke up.
Squall and the others looked at them both in astonishment. Zell even
commented, "Umm...."
"Miss Heartilly?"
"Y-yes?" Rinoa said with a yawn.
"Are you all right?"
"I feel a little dizzy, but I'm fine otherwise."
"Do you feel up to taking a test?"
Rinoa cringed, "Not a blood test!"
Kadowaki smiled, "No, no, Rinoa." Kadowaki pulled out a pregnancy test
from one of her cabinets and handed it to Rinoa.
Rinoa gasped, "Uhhh...."
"Just go into the bathroom and follow the instructions on the package.
It's fine, it will be all right. We can discuss the specifics later."
Rinoa got up, "O-o-okay...." She slowly walked into the bathroom on the
opposite side of the room.
Kadowaki looked at Squall and noticed his sad face, "Are you all right, son?"
He looked up at her, "Yeah, I guess."
Selphie told him, "Don't worry, we're with you forever, no matter what!"
Zell smiled, "We? I didn't agree to this!" A moment of silence shrouded
the office. "Just kidding!" Everyone laughed.
Rinoa walked out of the bathroom and held up the test. "I'm pregnant."
Who didn't see that one coming, eh? ::wink, wink:: Oh, well. Next
chapter may be a while, but it's coming. SUE ME, DAMMIT! SUE MEEEE!!!!
Sorry about that.... \\/(^_^)\// See you next chapter! Bye!
