Author's Notes: Hey guys! Hope no one minds the late updates; a lot of things have been going on. Kira says she will no longer be able to really work on this since she's having a hard time in school right now so it looks like everyone is stuck with me until everything settles down. Other than having a lot to do and being under a lot of stress, I'm doing well. College is not fun, no matter what anyone says. LOL! Anyways, on to the fic!
Chapter 2: Seifer's Reaction
"What?" Seifer asked, his mouth hanging open slightly.
"I said I'm pregnant." Squall said flatly.
"How? What? When?" Seifer tried to ask.
His thoughts were all a jumble. How could it be possible for his slave to become pregnant? What could've happened to make him end up that way? He shook his head, trying to clear his head and just focus on the present. (Yeah, like what the hell we're going to do about this?) Then he looked at Squall's ragged appearance. He was just as upset, if not more so than Seifer was. They were both frightened, but there was a determination in Squall's eyes that he had never seen before.
"I want to keep it Seifer." He said softly as he laid a hand over his stomach.
Seifer nodded, "I wasn't even thinking about letting you abort it. It's my child too."
Squall looked down at his hand for a moment and then back at his master. Seifer noticed the look and walked over to him, settling beside him, he slipped an arm around his shoulders and pulled him close. Squall immediately snuggled into the touch, needing reassurance that all was well between them. Seifer gently kissed his forehead, as he slid a hand up and ran it through his shaggy locks. They sat like that for a long time before the door suddenly burst open and Selphie came into the room, breathing heavily.
"Is it true?" The small brunette asked, her green eyes wide.
No one had to ask just what the it she was referring to was. Matron must have said something to the pretty girl otherwise she wouldn't have busted through the doors, but it was unlike Matron to say anything like that.
"Yes Selph, it's true." Seifer answered her question.
She made an excited squeak before coming over to the couch and hugging both of them tightly.
"Oh my God, I'm so excited. Squall, we'll go shopping tomorrow, you, Matron, and I. We need to get all kind of things. We can turn the room beside Seifer's into a nursery but we don't know what color to paint it. Oh we must know when you find out if it's a boy or girl. And we need…"
As Selphie went on, Squall's eyes got gradually wider. He was beginning to come out of his daze, and realize just what was happening to his body. He was pregnant, and Seifer was the father. There was no question in his mind that he wanted to keep the baby, but it would be so much work, worry and stress, but seeing the reaction to what he had said about keeping the child, made everything worth it. Despite Seifer's worry, he had noticed the way the assassin had straightened his body up and his eyes light up. He was happy, although he was worried.
"Selphie, give them time to think." Irvine said, appearing in the doorway.
"Hey, Seifer, what's this I hear about you beating me to a son? Huh? That wasn't supposed to happen you know." Irvine said, smiling playfully, his eyes a light with good humor.
Seifer grinned at his older brother, "What can I say, I'm just that damn good."
Squall punched him in the shoulder and as he turned to face the smaller brunette, he noticed the red flush that covered his cheeks.
"Now, look what you two idiots have done." Selphie snapped. "You've embarrassed him."
"Sorry love." Irvine said, his smile dropping, though his eyes still sparkled with humor.
"Men, do they always have to be such idiots. No offense Squall."
"None taken." Squall answered softly.
"Don't worry Squall, we'll have the best doctors from all over the world and we'll have to make sure the hospital room is nice, do you know around the time you're do, so that a way we can arrange for the big day? Oh never mind, I'll ask Dr. Kadowaki when I see her next time." Selphie said, her arms waving around excitedly.
"Aren't there such things as patient confidentiality?" Seifer asked, as he watched his sister in law.
"Oh, something silly like that won't stop me." Selphie smiled.
Everyone shuddered when they realized what she said was correct. Once Selphie set her mind on something, it would get done one way or another. And God help the poor soul that decided to try and stop her.
Seifer leaned against the doorway of the bathroom. He had been watching Squall for the last few minutes, and couldn't help but smile at the image presented to him. Squall was standing in front of the mirror of their bathroom. He turned his body to the side, taking his shirt and pulling it out slightly, trying to imagine what he would look like with the extra weight gain.
Seifer smiled as he stepped into the room, interrupting the intense study. He wrapped his arms around his slave, pulling him close to him. His hands immediately went to feel the soft flesh of Squall's stomach, trying to imagine his child resting there. Squall leaned into the touch, sighing softly.
"What are we going to? Are we really ready for this?" Squall asked softly.
(He's not as calm as I thought he was about all this.) Seifer thought. He shook his head, tendrils of blond hair falling across his forehead. He had forgot to spike it, having had decided to get Squall to the doctor as soon as possible that morning. Seifer kissed Squall's neck gently.
"Whether we're ready or not, our child is coming. We'll do our best. And I know my family will help us. As will yours if you want them here."
"Matron said she would fly my family up here if I wanted them here." Squall said softly.
"Of course, I can make arrangements immediately, if that's what you want."
"What if they want to take me away?" Squall asked turning in Seifer's loose hold.
"I won't let anyone take you away, especially not now. I love you too much to just let you go."
"I love you too Seifer."
"It will all be fine. We'll get through this. You'll see." Seifer assured him softly as he kissed soft pouty lips.
Squall however, was not inclined to agree.
