The Genome Offspring
As Zidane and Dagger got on the Cab back to Alexandria Territory, Dagger began to wonder.
"What if this happens at night, how will we get to Dali in time to deliver the baby?"
Zidane took hold of Daggers hand.
"Hey baby! Don't be worrying so much! When we have this daughter you will make her smart and I will make her strong! Oh ya, and you will also make her beautiful!" Dagger smiled. "I knew you were the one…" she hugged him. He drew her closer to him as the air cab stopped at North Gate. When they stepped off the cab, a moogle came flying to Zidane with a letter in its hand. "Boy, Mognet Central has been faster, kupo!" and the moogle handed the letter to Zidane. Zidane opened it fast. And smiled.
" Well, looks like we'll be heading to a baby shower in 2 days! Are you game Dagger?!" Dagger smiled. "I'm not so sure I can really make it, but I will go." Zidane put his hand on her stomach. "Well, you know I'm not forcing you…" Dagger placed her hand on his.
"It's alright Zidane. I want to go!" and she smiled. With that they walk down the path that lead to the gate to Dali. The moogle waved and flew by.
~~~~2 days later~~~~
Zidane walked into the home of Mikoto and Blank, with Dagger trailing behind him. Dagger was in a pinkish summer dress, and seemed very tired. Her stomach ached slightly. Zidane pointed her to Steiner and Beatrix. When she walked over to them Steiner and Beatrix both saluted. "Dagger Tribal, my we're getting big!" Steiner smiled, Beatrix added. "How far are we coming along?" Dagger sighed "Only days…" just then Ruby and Mikoto walked over, looking very mature as they had all become. Ruby smiled and slapped Dagger on the back. "Well, if it ain't Zidane's little ol' wife, Dagger. My we've gone from royalty to pure common folk, now!" Dagger winced. "Still the same Ruby, since we met on the theatre ship, very glad to meet you." Ruby looked confused, then smiled. "We also still have that royal tone in our voice!" Mikoto joined in.
"When in comes time for that baby to come out, it won't exactly be pain but blessing, as our mother always said!" Dagger opened her mouth to speak but just waved them both away and sat down, her stomach now ached terribly. Dagger was heaving and breathing harder then ever. She felt pain here and there, from her head, stomach, legs, and then finally her chest. Now the pain was unbearable, and she could feel the tears streaming out of her eyes. Ruby and Mikoto were now in front of her concerned. That's when her water broke.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!" Dagger wailed out loud, the whole party was now looking towards their way. Zidane, Kuja and Blank were pushing through the crowd. Zidane was kneeling down beside Dagger when she fell out of the chair and collapsed to the floor. Zidane looked terrified.
"Someone get a doctor!!! Dagger, what's the matter, honey!?" Dagger looked up with tears. "It's…………………ti………time, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" She wailed again, and fainted. When she woke up (which was 2 minutes later) the pain was so terrible more tears came, a doctor was in front of her. With Mikoto, Kuja, Zidane, Blank, Steiner and Beatrix. The doctor said.
"Now Mrs. Tribal, I need you to push! Push! PUSH!!!" Dagger was pushing so hard more tears were making their way; she reached for Zidane's collar, and yanked. "GET THAT DAMN BABY OUT OF HERE!! I'M GONNA EXPLODE ANY MINUTE NOW!!!!!" Kuja sighed and put a hand to his forehead. "That's the drugs talking Zidane…" he said as Zidane was now gasping for air from Daggers grip. The doctor smiled. "It's here…" The doctor pulled out a blue-eyed baby with a tail that was already a foot in a half long. Dagger collapsed on the pillow, Zidane could finally breathe. Dagger then reached for her baby girl. Zidane smiled. Dagger gasped.
" She looks like her father…what do we call her?" Zidane laid a hand on the babies face. "Jade. Our Grandmother's name…"
