Chapter 21
The elevator stops and they step out. Seifer was busy putting playing with his weapon that he didn't hear them.
Quistis: (cough) someone is here to see you.
Seifer turned and saw Rinoa standing next to Quistis with a baby in a carriage.
Quistis: Well, I'll leave you two alone.
Seifer: Well, well. This is a surprise I never thought I'd see you again. What can I do for you?
He went back to playing with his weapon.
Rinoa: I have something very important to tell you. I would appreciate it if you were looking at me.
Seifer turned back around and faced her.
Rinoa: This is my daughter Elizabeth.
Seifer: So soon, I thought it takes nine months for that to occur. Wow, you and Squall work miracles.
Rinoa: No, this is my daughter and she's also…yours.
Seifer blankly stared at Rinoa.
Seifer: Run that by me again.
Rinoa raised her eyebrows and gave a sad smile.
Rinoa: Surprise!
Seifer looked at Elizabeth then at Rinoa and shook his head in protest.
Seifer: No. Nope. Uh-uh. Not mine.
Rinoa nodded her head.
Rinoa: She's yours I have paper work to prove it. Besides, you were my first and Squall and I never had sex.
Seifer read carefully through the paper work. He was the father all right. He looked at Elizabeth who was slowly opening her eyes.
Rinoa: Look, I'm not expecting you to help me out with her. I just came to tell you because you deserve to know. Now, if you don't mind, I have to go.
Seifer: Wait! Where the fuck, do you think you are going with my daughter?
Seifer picks her up and cradles her in his arms.
Rinoa: Not for nothing Seifer, but I think it's best for Elizabeth that you stay out of her life.
Seifer: How do you know what's best for her? This is my daughter I want her to know who I am.
Rinoa: She deserves a normal life.
Seifer: Growing up not knowing who her father is, is normal? Fuck that shit. I'm going to be a part of her life. I'm not going to be known as a dead beat dad.
Rinoa: All right, but she'll be living with me. You can visit her any time you want.
Seifer: And take her out.
Seifer places her back in the carriage.
Rinoa: Call before you come over.
Seifer: Yeah, yeah.
Rinoa leaves the Garden not noticing that Quistis was watching her from behind a bench.
