A/N: It's weird that I had a really big idea in my head for this story and it ends all here O.o it's not the way I wanted it to go . The Last Chapter!
Chapter 7
Zell watched Aleixo and Carme running around in the park. Squall was sitting next to him but both of them were silent. After the events of two night ago neither was sure what to say and both felt uncomfortable around each other. It was easier when the children were around, they didn't have to talk to each other when they were around.
Squall gave Zell a sideways glance, not sure what to say. He knew it was wrong to push Zell but he couldn't stay in F.H. and he wanted Zell with him. No matter what.
Zell sighed and got up, looking at Squall. "I need to leave ,Quinn is waiting for me."
Squall nodded but didn't look at him. "All right..."
Zell sighed and tried to smile. "See you tomorrow?"
The brunette nodded. "Of course."
Squall watched his children who were now running towards him. Both were silent until Zell was out of sight and could no longer hear them. "Why are you being so mean daddy!" Aleixo pouted, balling his little fists.
"You have to be nice to Zell." Carme added.
Squall watched his two children and sighed. "I know, but I don't want to leave him here at the end of the week." Squall told them honestly. "I don't want him to stay here while we are in Balamb."
Aleixo pouted. "Why won't he come with us?" He asked, his question soon continueing. "Doesn't he like me?"
Squall pulled the child in his arms, smiling. "Of course he likes you Aleixo."

On the last day almost nothing had changed, the two of them hadn't even touched each other. Squall was sitting in Zell's chair while Zell was sitting on the couch. Aleixo and Carme were with Quinn so they were left alone. Neither of them was sure what to say, if there was anything to say.
They were both silent until Carme and Aleixo returned home with Quinn.

He was glad the week had ended, not because it was spend with Squall but because of the silence between them. Zell decided. And now he was standing at the station, saying goodbye to Squall and the children. Quinn was waiting for him in the car, just to be sure. "Well goodbye." Zell whispered softly, kissing Squall's cheek.
Squall watched him in silence, giving a nod.
Both Aleixo and Carme hadn't want to say goodbye to Zell because they didn't want to leave the blonde. In the past week they had done many things with the four of them, things they had missed since Rinoa had died. Not knowing that neither of the two adults knew how to act around each other.
Many times Aleixo had asked again if Zell would be his second daddy but everytime Squall shook his head and said nothing.
Zell watched the two children through the window, they were sitting next to each other, their heads turned downwards. Soon Squall stepped inside, the two children looking up. They eyes were slightly red and it looked like they both had been crying.
Squall sat down across from them and Zell could no longer see the brunette. Aleixo said something which was probably meant for Squall but Zell couldn't make out what the child was saying.
He started to leave. He didn't want to watch the train go, see Squall go again. When he returned to the car he saw Quinn and tried to smile. He got in the car and Quinn drove away.

Quinn watched the blonde get out of the car and sighed. "I'll come over tonight, all right?"
Zell nodded, closing the door. He waved Quinn goodbye and then made his way to his appartment. He opened the door and closed it again behind him, letting himself fall against it. A sigh escaped his lips as he walked into the living room of his home.
When he heard a knock on the door he frowned, wondering if it was Quinn. He had said he would come back but it had been two minutes. "One moment." Zell said, walking to the door. He opened it and blinked a couple of times when he saw who it was.
Squall pulled Zell up, throwing the blonde over his shoulder. "I'm not going to let you go again, you are coming with me."
Zell wasn't sure what was happening to him. "Wha?" He gasped.
"If you hate Balamb then we will live just outside it, but I need you close to me, I'm not making the same mistake again."
"Let me go!" He tried but Squall didn't, holding him, not caring that Zell was punching him and not to softly either.
"Never, I'll never let you go..." Squall said to him and quickly continued. "I love you Zell."
Zell smiled, finally giving in. "You better buy me a big house." He muttered but Squall had heard him.
"I'll buy you everything Zell." He said letting go of the blonde. He pulled Zell close, resting their foreheads against each other. "I'll give you everything you want." Squall smiled and pulled Zell even closer.
"That won't be enough." Zell pouted.
Squall smirked. "Aleixo wants you to be his daddy." He whispered softly.
Zell's eyes lit up and he grinned. "Really?"
The brunette nodded. "Really." He replied.
"And we aren't going to live in Balamb." Zell stated.
Squall nodded. "If that takes it to keep you..."

Quinn watched Zell for a while, smiling. "When will they be back?" He asked, thinking about Carme and Squall who were out, hunting monsters.
Zell shrugged, playing with a strand of Aleixo's hair. The little child sitting on his lap. "Soon I think."
Quinn was glad everything had worked out between the two of them, Zell and Squall. They had been living in Winhill for the past year. But in the past year Zell had called him often in tears, not because of a fight but because Zell wasn't sure what to do with the unsolved problems between him and Squall, afraid they would always remain. Quinn was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Carme giggle.
"We are back!" Carme cheered.
Squall smiled walking over to Zell and kissed the man on his forehead.
"Daddy has a ri-" Carme quickly pushed her hands over her mouth, blushing. She looked up at her father and muttered a quick sorry from behind her hands.
Squall sighed. "I knew you couldn't keep it a secret." He told his daughter and then he smiled. Squall looked at Zell and smiled, playing with the ring in his pocket, a perfect imitation of his own. He was going to give it to Zell today, and hopefully the blonde would take it.
Quinn watched the two in silence, a smile on his face. They were both so happy with each other, they deserved each other, belonged with each other. The brunette pulled Carme on his lap, watching Squall and Zell in silence. Both of them deserved this second chance.
