Chapter 7: Storm's Temper

Storm and Zelos stayed in Mizuho for about a week before Storm finally felt relatively okay. She was willing to finally brave the outside world once again, even if her morning sickness hadn't stopped yet. The two decided that they should head to Altamira to tell Presea and Regal the good news. Kratos decided to wait in Mizuho until they were through there, he wanted to spend some time with Lloyd.

Lloyd and Sheena had opened up a lot since Storm and Zelos had gotten them together. The two were almost inseparable and were constantly going off on their own. Storm and Zelos didn't know exactly what they were doing but they had a strange feeling that they were acting like the two of them had when they first fell for each other. Storm and Zelos decided that their work there was done and made their way towards Altamira.

When Storm and Zelos arrived in Altamira they made their way to the Lazereno Company in hopes of finding either Presea or Regal. Once they got there, they waited and waited in the lobby for what seemed like hours. The receptionist at the front counter assured the two that they would be able to see the two eventually, but she was sure to point out that the two should have made an appointment. Storm was not happy with her side comment and decided to take care of the situation on her own. Zelos, unfortunately, was too afraid of her mood swings to stop her.

"Look here lady! Regal and Presea are good friends of ours and I demand that you get off your lazy butt and tell them that we're here to see them!" Storm yelled at her as she slammed her hands on the desk.

"I'm sorry, but the two are very busy and I can't disturb them," she replied.

"Well, can't you tell them who we are?" Storm asked, trying to control her temper, but was losing very quickly.

"I'm sorry, but I can't bother them," she replied, a snotty tone to her voice.

"Well, are they in a conference with someone?" Storm asked, deciding that that would be a reasonable excuse for the wait.

"No," the woman replied throwing a smirk in Storm's direction.

"Well, what the hell are they doing?" Storm yelled at the top of her lungs.

"I'm sorry, but they can not be disturbed. Don't make me call down security on you," the woman threatened Storm. This was obviously a bad idea for the woman. Storm's eyes showed pure hatred for the cocky, little woman sitting in front of her. She looked at the woman who was a short, fat lady. She had her hair pulled up in a messy bun that looked like it was about to come undone at any second. She was wearing way too much makeup on her face and was happy to flashy a cocky grin at Storm while watching her suffer.

Storm was infuriated as Zelos walked up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down.

"Storm, relax, we'll get in eventually," Zelos told her.

Storm whipped around to look at him. "That's not the point here. The point is that this woman thinks that she can give me an attitude and deny me the decency of telling our friends that we're here. I think she thinks it's funny to watch us squirm," Storm told him.

"I think you're over exaggerating Storm. She's just doing her job," Zelos told her as he tried to lead her back to their seats in the lobby area.

Storm completely ignored him as she quickly made her way back to the desk. She threw her hands on the desk and looked at the woman in the eye. "You picked the wrong time to mess with me, I'm having mood swings," Storm said as she suddenly sprinted for the elevator.

"Wait, you can't go there," the woman shouted.

Storm ignored her warning as she made it into the elevator as the woman called for security. Storm was determined to find Regal and Presea and figured that their office would be located where it had been before.

Back in the lobby, Zelos sighed and held his hands to his head as he stared down at the floor. The woman at the desk looked over at him and finally decided to ask him something that was on her mind. "Is she...your wife?" Zelos lifted his head up and looked at the woman before nodding at her.

"I feel for you," she stated calmly.

Storm finally made it to the floor that she was looking for and went into the nearest room. There she saw Regal and Presea, playing golf. Presea and Regal were in their office playing around with a putter. Storm couldn't believe it. She had waited that long to find out that they were playing golf.

"Storm what are you doing here?" Regal asked.

Storm was still shocked that she had practically had to beat the receptionist downstairs because these two were busy playing golf. "Why are playing golf?" Storm finally asked.

"I'm teaching Presea how to putt properly, everyone who helps run a company should know how to play golf," Regal stated in a matter of fact tone.

"So, what brings you to Altamira?" Regal asked her again.

"Well, maybe we'd better bring Zelos up, your receptionist won't let anyone up here, I had to make a break for it to get here," Storm told him.

After sending for Zelos and bringing the two to a conference room down the hall, Zelos and Storm went on to tell Regal and Presea the good news.

"Congratulations," Regal stated happily as he patted both of them on the shoulders. "If you would like, you may spend a week here to relax and go shopping. Also, if you ever need anything for the baby just let me know and I can take care of it for you," Regal told them.

"Thank you very much," Storm said happily.

"You will make great parents," Presea said as happily as she could.

"I hope so," Zelos said, trying to agree with her.

Suddenly, the door to the conference room opened, revealing Raine in the doorway. She looked rather upset as she walked into the room and sat down by Storm and Zelos. Storm looked over at her and saw the frustrated look on her face.

"Couldn't get past the receptionist, could you?" Storm asked her.

Raine looked at her surprisingly and nodded her head slowly in response. "How'd you know?" she questioned.

"Storm about killed her and then ran here, while avoiding security because of her," Zelos answered for her.

"I see...," Raine sighed calmly.

"You need some new help around here Regal," Storm told him as she looked over at him.

"Perhaps...," Regal said as he thought it over carefully in his mind.

"So, what are you doing here Raine?" Storm asked her.

"We got a call from Sheena in Mizuho saying that you two were coming here to tell Presea and Regal big news. I brought Genis along so we could save you a few trips," Raine explained to her.

"Genis! You brought the brat? Man, I wonder how he's doing? Where is the little guy?" Zelos asked as he got up out of his seat to find him.

"He's down the hallway, he should be coming in soon," Raine told him and just as she finished, Genis entered the room. He was just under six feet in height and still had his silver hair, but it was much longer and was put into a ponytail. He was rather muscular, mostly from all the fighting and traveling he had been doing.

Zelos stopped dead in his tracks and looked up at Genis who was now looking down on him. "Hey, you know, anything I might have said to you about being a brat or short or anything, I really didn't mean," Zelos stuttered as Genis smirked at him.

"Yeah, well good to see you too Zelos," Genis replied, his voice much deeper than it had been before. Storm had to admit, she was impressed with the transformation. Looking at Genis made her rather sad though. When she looked at him, she was reminded that everyone around her was growing older and changing. Then there was her. She was growing older but she would never change. She knew that someday everyone would leave her and she would still be the same as she was presently. It made her feel like an outcast in the world, a freak.

"So, what was it you were telling everyone?" Raine broke Storm out of her trance as everyone was seated at the table in the room.

"Well, I'm pregnant. We're going to be parents," Storm stated once again.

"Woah, Zelos, you finally did it," Genis laughed from the other side of the room. Zelso just glared at him from a distance.

"Wow, this is great news. How far along are you now?" Raine asked her.

"Just about a month now," Storm answered.

"Well, we'll have to help you get ready. I hope you realize that you shouldn't be traveling as much pretty soon. Also, no fighting with any enemies whatsoever. You don't want to yourself or the baby," Raine advised her.

"I know, I know. We're staying here a week and then we just have to go to Iselia to tell Colette and we can finally return home," Storm assured her.

"Okay, well, I'll do my best to help you any way I can with the baby. If there's anything that you need help with just let me know," Raine told her.

"And don't forget about us too," Regal and Presea reminded her.

"Thanks everyone, I know that this baby is going to have a lot of people who love it," Storm replied happily.

Well, that's it for this chapter. Sorry if it was stupid, although I liked the receptionist. Anyway, tell me what you thought and if you have any ideas for this story please let me know. Also, I want an opinion poll, should I make the next story about how Yuan and Storm got together or should I just skip that and move on to the next story. A story with Storm's child in it. I already know what it's about basically, just have to work out the details. All I can do is give you all the one sentence, movie poster preview. Prepare for the Takeover! Well, that's that I don't know about the details of it but that's the basic summary. Anyway, tell me what you think.
