Chapter 17
Rinoa: I do.
Quistis: Same here.
Zell: Might as well take you up on the offer.
Selphie: Okay, well I guess I'll be in touch with you all soon.
Irvine: Take care.
They boarded the Ragnorak and Squall dropped off Quistis, Zell, and Jessica off at Balamb.
Quistis: Goodnight!
The three waved up at Squall and Rinoa as they took off to Deling City.
Jessica: Goodnight, Quistis.
Zell: C-ya.
Zell and Jessica headed to Zell's house. Quistis headed to the Garden.
Ragnorak
Squall: So, Rinoa what did you want to talk to me about?
Rinoa: Oh, I don't think I should distract you while you're flying the Ragnorak.
Squall: Okay, then I'll just land the ship.
That's exactly what he did. They were just a couple of miles away from Deling City.
Squall: Now you have my undivided attention.
Rinoa gives Squall a nervous smile and clears her throat.
Rinoa: Okay, uh (cough), do you think that people can be forgiven for anything?
Squall: I guess. I mean it would depend on the whole situation.
Rinoa: Well, I was depressed and hurt when I left you. It must have been seven months when I id something that made sense at the time. I needed someone to comfort me.
Squall: Rinoa, it's okay. You can tell me.
Rinoa: I have a daughter.
Rinoa pulls out a picture of Elizabeth to show Squall. Squall didn't know what to say or think. He was shocked and confused.
Squall: H-how did this happen? I mean I know how, but…
Rinoa: It was a one night stand. I needed to feel loved and well one thing led to another.
Squall: Rinoa—
Rinoa: I'm sorry.
Squall felt tears building up in his eyes. He quickly regained his composure.
Squall: Who—whose the father? Do you know his name?
Rinoa: Yes, of course.
Squall: So, who is he?
Rinoa looked away and began to cry.
Rinao: You know him too.
Squall: W—what? Who?
Rinoa: Her father is…Seifer.
Squall was completely stunned. He felt his heart being crushed. Images began to flash through his mind.
Rinoa: I never thought that I would see him again.
Squall: Does he…know?
Rinoa: What?
Squall: Does he know he has a fucking daughter?!
Rinoa shook her head.
Rinoa: No.
Squall felt the anger rising in him.
Squall: Why the hell not?
Rinoa: I plan to. I just wanted to tell you first, hoping—
Squall: I hope you weren't looking for me to forgive you and let this slide by.
Rinoa: I do.
Quistis: Same here.
Zell: Might as well take you up on the offer.
Selphie: Okay, well I guess I'll be in touch with you all soon.
Irvine: Take care.
