Enjoy!
Balamb Park was great. Squall was producing all his usual lame jokes that either didn't make sense or were just plain stupid, but Rinoa just sat there, staring out at the small children playing in the park.
"Look honey. Just tell me what's wrong. It's hurts me to see you so sad. Have I done anything wrong?" Squall asked. As Rinoa looked up at Squall, she began to cry and threw herself into his arms.
"It's not you" she sobbed. "It's me. Im......LATE" She cried even harder. [Think girl problems here]
"What do you mean? Oh..LATE......Why is that bad?"
"The doctor thinks I might have cancer" Rinoa sobbed into Squall's shoulder. She couldn't bare to even think of leaving his side. "That's why I was crying earlier" Squall didn't know what to say or do, so he just hugged her even tighter. He tilted her head so he could look deep into her eyes. He wiped a tear from her face.
"I love you more than anything" he whispered. "We'll get through this"
When it got too cold to stay out, they got back on their couch [New world transport can be fitted in anything, including couches] and traveled home.
Squall barely slept all night. He watched Rinoa as she slept. Normally he watched her screw up her face or he'd tickle her nose, and chuckle as she tried to push him away as she slept. But tonight was different, she was sleeping odd. Her face was still red from her tears, and she had the most frightened look on her face. Squall couldn't lose her, he wouldn't lose her. After finally learning to love and trust again, he was never going to let her go.
After finally falling asleep, Squall awoke to find his love curled next him, grasping his arm ever so tightly. He noticed how stressed she looked and gently stroked her soft hair. He quickly lifted his hand away as he felt how hot she was. He could feel how fast and hard her heart was beating.
"Rinoa sweetie...." He shook her gently to wake her. With no response, he tried again with slightly more force, but to no avail.
"Rinoa! WAKE UP!" He nearly pushed her off the bed with the amoun of force he was using. His heart raced faster with the fear of not knowing what to do while his beloved was in trouble. He raced to the phone and called Dr Kadowaki, who came over immediately.
By the time Squall returned to his room, Rinoa had calmed down enormously. He grabbed a face towel with cool water and gently dabbed at her face, desperately trying to cool her down. Squall tore the rugs off her and stroked her face. Her silk garment which barely passed as clothing was dripped in sweat. A wave of pain rushed over Rinoa's face, leaving Squall desperate to help her in anyway. As the Dr burst through the door, a relief flooded over him.
After a serious examination, Dr Kadowaki gave Rinoa a dose of morphine to help with the pain and some sleeping weed to relax her.
"Has Rinoa been upset over anything lately?" Dr Kadowaki asked Squall.
"Yeah..." Squall, close to tears continued his story. "She's been seeing this new doctor in town. Can't remember his name, but he said she might...she might..have...cancer.Oh, I don't know what to do!" Dr Kadowaki opened her arms, and Squall responded by sobbing into her shoulder. When Squall had settled down, he tried to return to his former unemotional self, but he couldn't.
"I need to tell you something about Rinoa. The reason why she wouldn't wake up is because she had stressed herself out so much, that she threw a panic attack while she was sleeping" Dr Kadowaki continued. "Somehow though, I don't like the sound of this new doctor. Rinoa should wake in a half hour. I think the first face she sees should be yours. Would you be able to bring Rinoa to the Garden then so I can do my own tests please?" Squall agreed and Dr Kadowaki left.
Squall returned to his room in a daze of wonder. {Why does this have to happen to us?} he asked silently as he lowered himself on the bed next to his beautiful wife. He gently placed his head on her small, soft stomach and cried out softly to the silence. Squall awoke as Rinoa gently stirred in her sleep.
"Rinoa, babe. It's me Squall. Please wake up?" he whispered desperately. She gently fluttered her deep eyes as they adjusted to the brightness of day. "Your OK!" Squall threw himself at Rinoa and hugged her tightly.
"Hey..." She whispered weakly.
"Babe, you gotta not stress so much. The Doc said you threw a panic attack. I was so scared and I didn't know what to do" Squall's flustered. "I thought I might...lose you" he whispered. Rinoa slowly reached up to touch his face. It seemed to take up a lot of her energy.
"I won't ever leave you...." she promised.
