How Life Changes - Chapter 3
Squall sat patiently next to Rinoa in the waiting room, softly stroking her hair with one hand, holding a bag in his other. Squall noticed Rinoa's worried face and whispered sweet words into her delicate ear. She gave a slight chuckle, then rested her head on Squall's shoulder.
"Rinoa, the doctor will see you now" the receptionist called from her desk. Squall shot up and helped Rinoa to stand. She was still quite weak from the sleeping weed and her attack.
"Come in Rinoa. Just take a seat over here"
Squall eagerly listened to the doctor's words and paid as much attention as he possibly could. Dr Kadowaki explained that she would take some blood tests to see if there's anything wrong. After she had taken Rinoa's blood, all they could do was wait.
"It could take up to 6 hours to get the results back" the doctor told them. "Go enjoy the day then come back later.
As the couple were walking out the door, Squall decided to amuse Rinoa by making a fool out of himself by walking into the glass door. She gave a slight smile, but it was not the response he wanted, he wanted her eyes to sparkle, her face be happy and her hair to dance around her face like it used to.
"Let's go to the Ice-Creamery!!" Squall cried out just as a 5 year old would. Squall ran to the ice-cream shop, dragging Rinoa as he went. Rinoa just asked for a small soft serve, but Squall had a huge triple-decker cone with EVERYTHING on it. Squall opened his bag, careful not to show Rinoa it's contents and payed for the ice-creams. The couple sat on the grass in the park across the road. There was a mother and child nearby. As Rinoa gently took nips at her ice-cream, Squall shoved his into his face making a mess everywhere. Squall was making a bigger mess than the small boy near by. Squall had some in his hair, on his forehead and all around his mouth.
"You really are enjoying that, aren't you" Rinoa gave a slight chuckle.
{Yeah!} Thought Squall. {I'm finally getting somewhere!} The mother made a swift exit with her child.
"Look, you even scared a grown woman and her child away!" Rinoa smiled at her soul mate.
"Oh im uimmim mo mllmksdf" Squall said with a mouth full of ice-cream.
"What?!?" Asked a confused Rinoa. Squall beckoned her over, so she sat right in front of him.
Squall shoved his ice-cream straight into Rinoa's sad face, making sure he fully smushed it in. Rinoa gave a shriek of shock. She responded by shoving her ice-cream into chest. There was a big enough opening in his shirt, just under his chin, so she smushed it all over him [There wasn't much point in shoving it into his face, it was already covered with ice-cream!!] Squall reached for the bag he had been protecting all day and exposed it's contents.
"Eat this!!" Rinoa squealed as Squall covered her in shaving cream. She wiped her face and threw it back at him.
"Give me that!!!" She laughed as she snatched the can and gave Squall what he deserved. Rinoa saw her opportunity and pinned Squall to the ground.
"Ha! You're not so tough now are you!" She gently sat on his hard muscular stomach. She reached down and wiped the shaving cream of his luscious lips and gave them a tender kiss. Squall slid his hand up to her neck and cupped the side of her face.
They lay side by side, staring up at the sky. Rinoa had that gorgeous smile back on her face and Squall was contented that his plan had worked.
"I love you" they both said in unison, then giggled. "Sweetie" Squall said, suddenly serious. "I don't want to ruin our wonderful day, but we really do have to be getting back"
"I know" she replied sadly.
*ring ring* [I bet you can guess that's a phone!]
"Hello?" Squall said as he answered his cellular. "Uh ha. Yep. Ok then. See you soon. That's wonderful!!! We'll be right there! Bye!"
"What was that about?" Asked Rinoa curiously.
"It's definitely not cancer!!!" Squall picked up his delicate love and spun her round.
"Ohhh. I'm so relieved!" Rinoa sighed. "We'd better get back to Garden then!" As Rinoa began to walk off without Squall, he raced past her, picking her up as he went and threw her over his shoulder.
"You're staying like this all the way to Garden!!" He laughed.
The waiting room was empty, so the couple went straight in.
"I'm sure Squall has already told you the wonderful news that it's not cancer, but we're not out of the danger zone yet. We know there's something wrong, but all my tests have come back negative. I'll try some others, but I don't really know what to do" the Dr continued. "I'll need to do the tests now, so up on the bed please Rinoa"
[A tedious hour had passed and the results had just came through for Rinoa's test.]
"The good news is, we have found out what it is. But I don't think the results are what you expected" Rinoa tensed as she prepared herself for the worst, while Squall held her tight
"The reason why you have been having problems is....."
