Chapter: Eighteen; Together.
Squall looked over to the lumpy bed. There was Quistis, Alex, Xander, and Nanami. Smiling he crwled in behind her, schooping both Nanami and Quistis into his arms. "It's late. It's time you kids head off to bed." Whining all three kids shufled out of the bed and into thier rooms. Squall saw each cub into thier bed, letting them know he loved them to the end of the world and back. After the last rug rat was covered head to toe, he headed back to his own bed and his wife. "I'm sorry baby. If I could I'd tuck them in with you." Smiling truely Squall wrapped his arms around her lovingly. "No, no. You have to stay in bed. You not well and I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby." Quistis sighed and cuddled into his neck. "Thank you Squall." Sweetly the lion placed his lips onto her soft rose ones. "For what? You know I'd go to the ends of the earth and back for you." Smiling sweetly, Quistis took his lips with hers. After a life time of sweet kisses they parted. "For this." Frowning Squall looked down at the sheets. "I don't care if it's Seifer's baby. If you want to keep the baby, then I'll be her dad. I'm not going to abandon you. You're my princess." With the tip of her finger Quistis raised his chin so they were eye to eye. "With the way you treat me, I should be a queen." Sliding down Squall placed an ear to her stomach. A smile danced on his lips as he closed his eyes. "Ok then my queen. Our princess is sturing. Thought of a name for her yet?" Gigling, Quistis ran her fingers through his soft silk hair. "How about Illyria?"

"Damnit! Zell where in hell do you think you're going?" Zell turned ot the fumming sorcerous. Not only was she seeing red, she looked it. "I can't do this with you anymore. I'm going to Ethsar. Ellone said I could stay with her a bit. Plus your plan didn't work! Quistis is having another child and I'm going to be there for my friend. You've become too bitter!" Zell turned and ran out the door as fast as he could. He did not want to see Rinoa or what she could do to him. He was free. No more nights of her clawing him, bitting him, using him. That was over now. In his head he thanked Hyne for being ablie to get out of her way before things got too much.

Squall paced madly up and down the floor. Nanami was sleeping soundly with her brotherss on eather side of her. The carpet was, thankfuly, already thin for other people's pacing. Slowly Squall could make out Seifer's outline as he walked up the hall. "How long have you been here?" Xu's voice broke though his thoughts. There she stood next to Seifer holding Dios, who was half asleep. "Years." Squall looked over at Seifer and glared. Neather of them had seen one another sence Squall's birthday. With the speed of lighting Squall's glare shot from 'I hate you' to 'say one more word and die'. "Hey, Xu. Bugga boo could you watch the kids? I need to talk to Squall." Xu nodded and placed Dios next to Nanami.
Squall fixed himself against the cold wall as seifer lit up a cigarette. "Is she doing ok?" The lion only nodded to his question. "How much longer is she going to be in there?" Coldly, Squall shrugged. "It's too early for her! Damn! When can we go on and see her?" Squall sighed and turned to walk back inside the hospital. He had had more than a night share with him. "I'm fucking talking to you!" Squall turned in anger, punching him in the face. Slowly a drop of blood ran down the corner of Seifer's mouth. Glare at his hardest Seifer punched Squall square in the gut. "Look you ass! I care about her too! And if you weren't here we'd be togther! This is my kid too! And I plane on....." Squall let the top bow on his anger. He had rammed into Seifer and now stratled him, laying one punch on after another. "She's my wife! This is not your kid! I wouldn't let you lay a hand on her even if Quistis said you could! It's you falt!" The world around Squall spun as Seifer flipped him onto his back. A swif punch came across his face, then nothing. "You know you are the biggest ass next to me I have ever known!" Another punch came across his cheek. "Quistis should have done better!" Again Seifer struck him. "You hurt her for so long and then you thought you could just have her! You better thank your luck ass that she took you in! She's too kind for eather of us! And you're an ass for all that you've done to her! I will have somehting to do with this baby's life no matter what! She's part of me!" Squall flip Seifer over and landed a larg punch. "Don't you ever talk about hurting her! I don't care if it's your seed that was in her! I will be that little girls dad! Now I'm going to see how ahe is. Clean up before you come back in." Seifer watched Squall walk back into the building before he got up off the ground. "Ass."

Tears started to fill Squall's eyes as he looked throw the glass at the child name 'Illyria Ellone Leonhart'. The little girl was in an incubator of some sort. She looked so small that she most likely could fit in the palm of his hand. Sighing, he closed his eyes as he heard he soft click of heals behind him. "Is that her?" Ellone stood next to him with her nose pressed against the glass. Smiling softly he placed his head on her shoulder. "Yes. And I see she named her after you." Ellone smiled as she wrapped her arms around Squall. "I would have been here sooner but I had to pick Zell up. Selphie called and said that they would be here soon. Trains are delaied." Squal Sighed and closed his eyes again. "You ok?"
"Yeah."
"No you're not."
"Yeah I am."
"Look I may not be Quistis but I know when something is off with you."
"Why Zell?"
"He called and said he had to get away from Rinoa. So I said he could stay with me."
"Really?"
"Yeah."

Rinoa sat in her room looking deadly into the wall. Numbly she swayed to her left and fell off the bed. "Damn you Squall. You'll pay for this. I'll take everything away form you like she did. If I can't be happy then you can't be happy."
