Chapter 3
"Push Queen,PUSH!" they cried.Pain..anguish..Her love was gone...the only one who had made her feel that way...the one who showed her love's first kiss..love's first touch,had slipped out of her grasp..It was all her fault...and now,here was this..this creature within her,a practical parasite that lived off of her,sucking the life from her,while it nestled comfertably in her womb,causing her all of this pain...didn't she have enough?She did not care about what was happening around her..she did not care about this baby...all she cared about was the fact that Zidane died and it was all her fault...no...it was all this baby's fault.She wanted to die and be with Zidane...
Since that day,dispite docters warnings and numerous coaxing from Steiner and the others,Garnet did not eat.In her grief,her body was suffering growing weaker and weaker with two lives to support...yet she grieved as the events played over and over in her mind, his screams multiplying by the hundreds,echoing off the walls and resounding like mocking laughter.
She had been found by Steiner that day.Everyone had grown worried when it was discovered that they were not in thier rooms or anywhere else in the castle.Steiner rushed past the commotion,racing up to the area so few knew about.He found them,with the Queen curled up next to her King,her chest rising and falling with each breath;the pool of blood that had formed under Zidane told him that Garnet was the only one sleeping.Steiner,not wanting to leave his Queen behind carried her tired body back to the castle and numerous gards raced out to the spot where Zidane lay.
It was out within minutes.The news spread like wildfire.Garnet was in labor and the King Zidane was dead.
"It's almost here!"a female doctor cried."Come one young queen..PUSH!"Her body gave in to the request and gave several more pushes..Her body felt like she was being torn from the inside..sweat poured from off her face and her fingers dug into the bed sheets...If Zidane were here,he'd tell her to be strong...He'd tell her he'd be with her always.With scream, Garnet gave one last push and soon it was over..
A shrill cry emitted from the mouth of the young pink enfant as it was whisked away to the waiting hands of a doctor to be cleaned.Garnet slumped over and sighed a sigh of relief.She could imagine it now.Steiner's eyes filling up with tears of joy,Vivi curiously peering at the young enfant,Eiko asking if human babies were made the same way as Moogle babies,Quina perhaps asking if it were edible...everyone would be rejoicing at the birth of the next generation of Alexandrian royalty...everyone but Zidane..He was not here to see the birth of his baby.
A nurse came to Garnet's side breaking her train of thought and presented the swaddled infant to her."Here is your baby my Queen.."The nurse beamed."You have a beautiful little girl."Garnet stared at the nurse and by instinct,reached her arms out to her accepting her precious cargo.The nurse walked away and Garnet moved the towels aside to look into her baby's face.
Like most newborns,she had no distinguishing features yet.No hair,and her eyes were closed tightly shut,not revealing their color.So tiny and helpless,Garnet felt so guilty for even casting any blame upon her child..upon their child.She held the crying baby close to her and started humming the familiar tune.Like magic,the baby grew silent and fell asleep.Garnet sighed as she had a fashback of Zidane finding her on the balcony as he first heard her sing...This song of memory carried many painful emotions with it.
The nurse returned to her side and smiled."What shall you name her?"Garnet only shook her head."I don't know yet"She and Zidane didn't even name the child.Well...she didn't know the name."I have the perfect name!"Zidane said."But I'll tell you when the baby is born and we see if its a boy or girl.It'll be special that way."Why hadn't she coaxed it outof him then?
Sighing,Garnet gave the baby back to the nurse."I am tired" she said."So very tired."The baby immediately began crying,longing for the touch and voice of her mother.The nurse looked concerned and made a step to Garnet,but was stopped by another who shook her head"Let her rest...she's been through a lot already."The nurse obliged and they both gave their well wishes and congratulations to the Queen who turned and closed her eyes,waiting for the peaceful rest of sleep to take over.
No one noticed the lone figure peering in through the window.
Hmm..where shall I go from here?What shall I name the baby...I guess I'll have to give it some thought...
bye now!~*Janelle~*
