Okay before I get to far on chapter one, I have to thank an author for saying I needed to do more on the prologue, but you wanna know what. I forgot her name... Ummm if you read this miss and review please clarify yourself.
I do not own FF8.
Quater after a 11, Squall enters the medical bay, The doctor had the baby wrapped up and ready to go. Before he lets Squall leave, he forces Squall to look into his eyes. Grief was hidden deep inside, waiting to burst free. Gently the doctor puts a hand on Squalls shoulder, Squall lowers his head and looks away. Accidentally into the eyes of his daughter.
"Are you ready for this Squall?" The doctor asks.
"I'll be fine." Squall insists and touches his daughter carefully.
"Okay, but I'm here if you need me. You know you lay your wife to rest in two days." The doctor pauses. "You have to show your feelings at some time."
"Can I take her now?"
"Yes you can."
Squall picks up his daughter carefully, and wraps the strap of the diaper bag around his shoulder.
"Say Squall, you figure out what to name her?" The doctor asks.
"I don't know yet."
Squall leaves. The last thing on his mind these last few days was the name of his kid. He had planned the funeral. Tried to get hold of Irvine or Selphie. Neither could be reached. There mission took them to far away. Squall also had to deal with the memories.
"Squall! Squall!" A voice shrieks through the hall.
Squall turns slowly and looks at her. Instantly she notices the baby and begins to fawn over it. She pauses and looks up at Squall.
"Where's Rinoa?" Selphie asks.
The past flashes back. Hitting him harder then ever before. Selphie's liveliness reminds him of how lively Rinoa was. Tears built up. And like a tsunami it tears the wall down. Squall bursts out in tears.
"Oh God, Squall." Selphie whispers.
Quintis takes the little one from Squall just as Squalls legs give out. Irvine catches him and lowers him to the ground.
"She's gone." Squall cries. "She's gone and there was nothing I could do!"
Irvine, Quintis and Selphie freeze in surprise. For a second they didn't know what to do. Squall never cried and now here he was. Breaking down in tears. An emotional over load.
Quintis comes out of her trance. "Selphie go get the doc', tell him Squall's broke down."
Irvine holds the sobbing man in his arms. Screams of questioning occasionally ripped through the hall,
Selphie got the doctor. To much frustration the doctor had to heavily sedate Squall. He was so badly broken from Rinoa's death, and no amount of talking calmed him down. Irvine picks the limp Squall up, and carries him back to the medical bay. Quintis looks at the sleeping baby.
"Does she have a name?" Quintis asks.
The doctor shakes his, "no Squall never thought up one."
"Hmn, how did Rinoa die?" Selphie asks pulling at the blanket to see the baby better.
"Some woman just don't have the strength to deliver a baby. And sometimes it's to late to do anything about it. For Rinoa she pushed so long, she didn't want to give up. Her last amount of strength was to push her daughter out." The doctor frowns. "She just herd her cry, then Rinoa was gone."
"Squall didn't get to say good-bye?" Selphie asks tearfully.
"No, when he got in there she was gone already."
"Oh."
****
The next morning Squall cracks open his eyes. Despite his sleep he still felt tired. Then noticing Selphie and Irvine he turns red. His break down was no dream. Not to mention why would he be on a bed in the medical bay.
Squall sits up, and Selphie bounds into the room.
"Squall you awake!" Selphie shouts.
Squall regards her with his usual cold face. Selphie doesn't care. She was used to that face of his, and it just meant that he was back to normal. A smile crosses her face just like it usually did. At that moment he noticed something that he hadn't before. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying.
"Quintis is with Rai. She's settled nicely into her little bassinet." Selphie says.
"Rai?"
"Yeah Rai, Irvine thought it up last night. We were thinking up names to call her till you could decide. And sense she's a ray of hope we decided on Rai. Quintis insisted we use letters from her mom's name to make hers so, yeah I know it's spelt funny." Selphie babbles. "Oh, the doctor says it's all right if you go. He's more confident you sane now."
Squall gets up and exits the medical bay. Selphie stayed at his heals. Irvine took his sweet time.
Quintis looks up in surprise as Squall enters the room. Selphie had the camera rolling, and captured the moment as Squall looks over daughter. Quitis gets up and picks up the sleeping baby and give her to Squall.
"She's not going to break." Quintis says calmly.
Squall takes his daughter. His eyes locked on her face. Small and round. All her features are so like her mothers. Her eyes flicker open and she gives a big yawn. She'll probably have her mothers eye color someday.
"Hey, Squally smile for the camera!" Selphie yells.
Squall looks up with a dumb look on his face. Oh what a kodak moment. The little on kicks and waves her arms. Squall blinks and looks at her then the camera, then his face goes back to normal.
"Selphie put the camera away." Squall orders.

Hehehe: Next chapter will be the funeral. ::sniff sniff:: I'd continue this chapter for longer but it's already to long and well the baby in the house is fussing for attention... ... It's my niece AthenaRose. I don't know if I'll keep it Rai but your welcome to put your two cents in.
