A/N Sorry for being late with the update, I've been feeling really kind of lazy. Another short chapter. Don't hurt me… fatally.
Rinoa (POV)
'How could this be happening?' I thought to myself as I paced around the room. 'This can't be happening, not to me, not to us, we were careful. Oh Hyne, how will I tell him? Will he still love me?' Doubts raced around inside at breakneck speed.
"Sit down Rinoa, you'll wear yourself out," Quistis said. I asked her to come and give me support.
"Sorry," I said and sat down, "I'm so nervous, what if the test is positive? Will Squall still love me?"
"Of course he'll still love you Rinoa. He can't live without you. Why wouldn't he love you?" Quistis asked.
"Why wouldn't he love me, maybe he found someone else, I don't know…" I was cut off by a small beeping from beeping from my watch. "Its time."
"Yeah," Quistis said standing up behind me to give the mental support that I so despretly needed as I walked over to the table in the room that Squall and I shared aboard the Ragnorak. Squall was in the process of planning how to take back Garden. "Don't be afraid, he'll love you no matter what."
I picked up the test and looked at it. I was instantly filled with joy as Quistis waited in anticipation. "Oh Hyne."
"What, was it positive?"
"Yes, oh Hyne yes! I'm going to be a mother!" I nearly screamed and hugged Quistis tight. "You can't tell anyone about this okay," it was more of a demand than a question.
Squall (POV)
"Can't tell who about what?" I asked just coming through the door.
"Actually, I should be going," Quistis said letting herself slip past me.
"Squall, come here," Rinoa said whilst she sat on the bed. She was patting a spot next to her and I did as I was told. "There's something I need to tell you."
"Okay," I said kind of nervous but looking into her eyes. She took hold of my hands and began to tell me what was on her mind.
I fainted, the last thing I remember hearing was "Squall, I love you and you love me right, well, I'm pregnant."
I woke up an hour later to find Rinoa by my side. The first thing I got wasn't a kiss, but instead a slap on the back of the head. The second thing I got was a question. "why the hell did you have to go and do that you idiot?"
"What, I was surprised, I'm not ready to be a father, I wouldn't be any good at it."
"It's okay Squall, I'm only one month in. You have plenty of time to prepare for our child. I love you."
"I love you too, but wait, your saying that in eight months we're going to have a kid. Holy shit. How do you feel about this Rin? I mean, we're so young, you don't have to keep it if you don't want him, it is a boy right? I'm 100 behind your decision."
"It's to early to tell if it's a boy our a girl but I do want to keep it. Squall, I want to have this child with you and yes it generally takes nine months for a child to be born. Will you stay by my side through it all?"
"Yes, of course Rinoa, you know I would never abandon you. Especially like this. Right now though I'm not ready for this, I swear to you I will learn and if you don't want me to touch you ever again I won't."
"I'm not ready for this either, so we'll learn together. You better not have been serious about not touching me ever again or I'll kill you."
'This is going to be a long eight months.'
