Chapter: Fiifteen: Words.

"A lover long sence passed, gives a child, the mother's last. Third from the mother, if she will bore. Slayer of the sorcerous last, with thier father's sward. Here she will die, under her lover's wife's eye. Withered and frail, this will end the cursed spell."

Rinoa turned the words over and over in her head. "I the last.." Her voice bounced off the blank walls. Sadness ran through her eyes. "What about Ellone?" Zell's voice brought her out of her self pity. Rinoa turned on him, pulling him close. A hard kiss was placed on Zell's lips, making his lower lip bleed. Then once she was done, Zell was thrown to the floor. "I told you dumb shit, that Ellone is not an active sorcerous! I am the last! Qistis is the mother, and Squall was my lover! Thier third child will kill me with Squall's gunblade! That is why I can't let them be togther! That's why Quistis must die! Plus, she's all wrong for him."

Rinoa threw herself onto Zell, ripping his shirt off. Claw marks could be seen all over him. The evil grin that danced around her face grew as she dragged her nails down his chest to his pants. "Are you sure it's Squall? It could be..." Rinoa's nails craping across Zell's face gave him his answer. "I know it's them! I've read into it. Now shut up and let me work!" Zell's eyes watched Rinoa as she begain to do her nightly thing. Slowly his mind wondered. He loved Rinoa but knew she was never goning to be his. Her heart was Squall's as his was Quistis'. Every guy had a girl, and was happy, but him and Rinoa. For that he hated them both. He hated them for hurting Rinoa, a sudden rush of pain and pleasure rushed though his body knocking him out of his thoughts.

Squall bounched Nanami happily in his arms, as Quistis read a book. Nanami's squeals could be heard everywhere in the 'house'. "Where's my Nami? Where's my Nami? There she is!" Quistis couldn't help but laugh at the two. Squall was nothing but warm and loving with Nanami, though she expeacted nothing less from him. Placing her book down, she walked over and 'kidnapped' Nanami. "Hey there my little sweety petey pie! Are you hungery?" Sourly, Squall stood and reached for Nanami, but Quistis pulled her closer out of reach. Bouncing Nanami on her hip, Quistis truned to Squall with her tounge out. Squall couldn't help but roll his eyes at the scene. "I'm glade Nami made you lighten up. Even if it is just around us. You look good with your almost smile." Wrapping himself around her, he barried his face in the crook of her neck. "Yeah well, I'm glade you had her too, Quisy. She bring the child out in you. "

Quistis crinckled her nose up to his words, though she knew they were true. Her childhood was never really there. She had joined garden at a young age, and her 'father' had raped her of any fun, literly. Her mother had never been there for her, so she had to do things on her own. The only time she could remember being happy as a child was when she was at the orphanage.

The phone ringing and a knock on the door woke her. "I'll take Nan and get the phone. Answer the door for me baby. K?" Nodding Squall walked to the door. His mind pondered who it could be. They weren't having anyone over today, maybe it was Cid. He had not gone into the office in two days so it was most likely Cid. Slowly he opened the door. "FUCK FACE!!!" WHAM! Something hard hit Squall in the face, then his stomach and back. A stamped of feet could be heard running down the hall. With a concern look on her face Quistis came into the living space. "SQUALL!" There on the floor was Squall, bleeding from his nose and upper lip. Slowly he tried to get up as Quistis rushed to his aid.

"Squall. O who in Hyne's name did this?"

"I don't know."

"Are you.. O no. You're not ok. Come on." Carefuly she helped him to the sofa.

"Who did this?"

"I don't know."

"Here take Nan." Sweetly she placed Nanami in his arms, as she tended to his busted lip and nose. "Trapes!"

"What?"

"Trepes."

"Trepes?"

"Yeah. Trepes."

"But how you they, wow! Know?"

"Sorry. Cid just called."

"And?"

"Selphie's mouth let eveything out."

"Everyone knows, Ow! Quisy my nose doesn't come off."

"I know and I'm sorry. Hold still."

"SO everyone knows, ow! Nami!"

"Yeah. I guess they found our room too."

"So I guess we'll....ow! Nami! Da's hair isn't a toy!"

"Give her here, You're fine."

"I think we should leave soon."

"Good idea."

"So you think some Trepes attacked you?" Squall glared at Selphie, as Nanami giggled in his arms. "Yeah and do you know why?" Selphie's eyes widened in fear as he leaned closer to her. "O Squall! Play nice or I'm taking Nami." A skoff excaped Squall lips at her remark. "Yeah uhu." Ice shot into the back of Squall's head as Quistis reached over him, taking Nanami. "What? huh? Quisy? You wouldn't. would you?" Smirking, Quistis just walked happily into the kitchen. "Quisy!" Franticly Squall dashed after her. "You know you sound like a little kid."

"You wouldn't do that, would you?"

"You gonna play nice?"

"You wouldn't leave would you?"

"Play nice?"

"Quisy!"

"Baby!"

"Quisy!"

"OO! I love see you do that!" Quistis yelled as she watched Squall squearm.

"Don't scare me like that!"

"Why?"

"You say play nice, but you don't fallow that!"

"So?"

"Stop it!"

"Why?"

"Stop it!"

"Why?"

"Stop it and tell me you won't leave!" Tears started to leak from Squall's eyes.

"O baby." Reaching out, she started to wipe his stray tears.

"Promis me." His voice growled, as he grabbed her wrist.

"I promis Squall." As gently as she could, Quistis prided her hand free.

"I guess I'll leave you two now. I'm sorry." Neather of them looked at Selphie as she walked herself out the door. "I'm sorry Squall. I didn't mean to scare you." Squall only closed his eyes, letting himself fall onto her. "Squall." Moisture gathered on her shirt. "I just don't know what I'd do if you and Nan left me." Sweetly she kissed the top of his head. So Squall is human after all... Quistis' thoughts played on that line for a bit. She knew he was human, but this was truely human and a first. "I promis. We wont leave."

"We're leaving Cid." Squall looked at the older man in his chair. "I understand." Sadly he stood and placed a warm hand on Squall's shoulder. "Just take good care of her. You two are like our kids." Squall only smiled, a true smile, and nodded. "I promise." Turning, Squall headed to the door to start a new life with his family. "O and the ther will go. But they are coming back right?"

"Yeah." With that Squall left garden with his family to start a new life.

The train ride to Esther was goign to be a long one. Quistis had called Seifer and Xu. To her joy they agreed to be in the wedding. Xu happily told her that they would bring thier baby boy with them, Dios. They would be there a day after everyone arrived. Squall had never seen Quistis so excited in his life. Her and Selphie talked for hours about what the dresses would look like, or what flowers they would have where. Squall spent most of the time with Nanami and Irvine. Zell had sat somberly on the other side of the room. Anger consumed Zell as he watched evryone. Rinoa had been sent out on a mission before the wedding had been announced.

"Zell are you ok?" Quistis' sweet soft voise carried across the room with ease. Silence. "Zell?" Slowly the lioness walked close to the sulking puppy dog. Softly she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "What's wrong Zell?" Zell could have carried out Rinoa's plans right then and there. The fact that she had hurt Rinoa pissed him off, but the fqct that she was acting like nothing was differnt pissed him off more. "I miss Rin." He had to restrain himself. Quistis was in a way family, besides it was Squall's fault really. "I'm sorry. I wish she could have been there with you. I feel bad that she's away. I really want her to feel like she's apart of the group." Smiling brightly she gave Zell a tight hug, then walked back to the bed.

"Sweet one ya got there, Squall." Nodding, Squall turned his head twards the girls. "Thier both sweet." A large ruff hand slapped Squall across the back. "Yeah, but yours is sweet in more than more way! Right man!?" The lion put all his might in his fist as it crossed Irvine's face. "Squall!! Didin't I ask you to play nice?!" Yelping in pain, Irvine cowerd away. "But he said...!" The lioness only gave him a sturm look. "I am no longer a student of yours. Don't give me that look Quisy!" Walking over to Squall, Quistis gave a mystifies smirk. "You only think you're no longer a student of mine." Quistis simply took Nanami into her arms and walked back over to Selphie. "You still have alot to learn Squall." Strutting over to the girls, Squall played on her coment. "Yeah. What do you have to teach me still?"

"Lots."

"Like what?"

"Everything."

"About what?"

"Me."

"Like.....?"

"Ok there! Get a room if you two start doing shit like that! And if you do let me and Irvy watch Nan!" Both were brought back from thier world by Selphie's shrill voice. "Heheh. Guess we should get some sleep huh?" Quistis placed Nanami into her baby buggy thingy, while Selphie and Irvine crawled into the top bunck. "We should be there in a few hours. I can't wait to see the face on Laguna."

"Shit!"

"What Squall? Ack! And watch your mouth! I don't want Nami saying that!"

"Sorry. I just remembered something."

"What?"

"Umm. Laguna dosen't know."

"Know what?"

"We're coming."

"Damnit Squall!"

"Hey watch your mouth! Nami!"

"Opis! O but Squall!"

"He doesn't even know about Nami yet."

"Squall!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Don't scream! O Nami.. Quisy!" Squall cradled Nanami till her cries quieted.

"Sorry babys."

"I forgot to call him."

"How could you forget that?"

"I was busy."

"Squall. O well. He'll find out soon."

"We're here to see Laguna! I told you I'm his son!" Squall yelled at the solder who stood gaurd. "No one comes in without Mr. Loire's permission!" That was it, Squall's temper was thin, and his pathiness was gone. "Ok you asked for it!" With a single swipe, Squall found his gunblade at the man's throat. "Squall!! For Hyne's sake! Play nice!" Smirking, Squall pulled the blade back from the man a bit. "Go inside guys. I promise I'll play nice."

Everyone did as they were asked. One by one they walked into the large enterence behind Quistis. Slowly they made thier way to the transport seat thingy. "Should we wait for Squall?" Selphie circled the seat, only to place herself between Zell and Irvine. "I don't know." Debating what to do, Quistis watched the door. Sudently a loud scream could be heard from outside, and Squall's figure could be seen runing closer to them."Sit down! I'm coming!" Quistis did as Squall asked and the seats started to take off. At the last second Squall leaped onto the set. As they retreated from the labby, Quistis could see more guards runing into the room. "I thought I told you to play nice!"

At last the seats came to a hault. "We need to get to Lagune or Kiros now!" Squall picked up his pace as he headed down the hall with the others in towe. "Yeah. Ya think Squall?" Quistis' words brought a smirk to his lips. At the end of the hall Quistis thought that she could see Kiros, but was wrong. There stood ten guards, armed and ready. Stopping quickly squall shelled Quistis and Nanami. "Thunder storm." Quistis couldn't help it. She was raised as a fighter and it had been so longe sence she had fight. "Quisy?" Squall tightened his grip around the two as Quezacotl did his stuff. Nanami cried in fear as her parents protected her. After the guards had fallen did Squall let go of them. "Wow! I missed that!" Gently Quistis cradled Nanami so her cries would quiet. "Quisy. How could you? Infront of Nami....."

"What is going on out here?" Laguna walked out of his office to see everyone standing there. "Squall? Selphie, Irvine, Zell, and er um Quistis?" Kiros came out from behind him with a look of concern. "Squall, I'm er glad to see you but what are you doing here?" Turning from Quistis he looked at his father. "I er um. I'm getting married and I wanted you to see your granddaughter."

"Granddaughter?" Laguna looked at his son as if he had lost his mind. "Yeah. Quistis and I have a kid. This is Nanami." Squall stepped aside to show Quistis holding Nanami in her arms. In prue delight, Laguna rushed forward taking Nanami from her, missing the heartach in Quistis' eyes. "She's sooooo!" Words could not discribe Laguna's love for his grandchild. "Kiros look! We're grandpas!" Laguna swang Nanami around showing her off in the small group of people. "So when and where are you two gettiung hitched?"

"Hopefully here, and soon."

"What's the rush Squall?"

"No rush."

"Thank you Mr. Loire for letting us have the wedding here." Quistis' voice became small and weak. "O my dear child! I'm so glade Squall and you are togther! I've never seen him happier than when he's with you! Please! Let me show you to your rooms!"

END!
