A/n Hey all thanks so much for reading my story! I love you all soooo much. Okay anyways I know the last chapter may have been a little excruciating to read but I tried so hard to make it work like I said before I am not the best writer. Anywho I hope all the characters are in character and things like that. Thanks again for reading and on with the story.

Chapter 5

Gippal's POV

I watched as Rikku packed an overnight bag she was going to stay with me at Djose for a night or two. She packed my favorite outfit she had and that made me happy. It was an outfit she wore when we first hooked up. It was blue jean shorts and a dark purple tank top. She looked hot in it, and it showed her body very nicely. She also packed a silky nightie and a pair of dark blue jeans and another black and red tank top. I must admit she had a nice style in cloths most of the girls I dated would wear a lot of pink and dresses, not that it's a bad thing but I liked Rikku's whole tom-boy approach better. When she was done, she told Yuna where she was going and we were off to my dear machine faction. I wonder what panic has erupted since I have been gone. We got there a little after sun down and when I got there, Kadena was for me in front of the temple.

"Gippal where on Spria have you been! And what happened to your eye?" She said.

Kadena was my second in command here and she did a good job at it. She was half al-bhed and very attractive. So I slept with her a few times, and one of those times was the night before I left for Besaid. The first time was about three months and she knew that it was just sex. But the last time I told her I loved her, okay I was drunk off my ass and I was thinking about Rikku the whole time. I thought it was Rikku I mean they look a lot alike. This was just great how did I always get myself into these messes.

"I was staying with some friends for a while. And it's a miracle it healed all by itself."

Rikku giggled. Kadena looked at me oddly then looked behind me and stared at Rikku.

"Who is this?" She asked.

Rikku set her bag down and moved forward to shake Kadena's hand.

"Hi I'm Rikku. And you are?"

"I'm Kadena, Gippal may have told you about me." Kadena replied shaking Rikku's hand.

"No can't say that he has." Rikku replied confused.

She looked at me and I looked away…she was going to kill me. Kadena looked at Rikku then to me then back to Rikku.

"Hey I know your name, you went with Lady Yuna on her pilgrimage huh?" Kadena asked Rikku.

"Yeah, but it was a long time ago no biggie right?"

"I guess so."

"Yeah, but me and Gippal have some things to do so we need to get going." Rikku said.

Kadena looked at me and gave me "the look" as if asking for an explanation to why Rikku was with me and why she had a bag. When I didn't say anything she took matters into her own hands.

"So why do you have a bag, are you planning to go on a road trip or something?" Kadena asked.

"No actually I'm staying here for a few days with Gippy." Rikku replied.

Kadena's face turned angry and she looked at me. I just nodded in response and she looked like she could kill.

"The hell you are!" Kadena exclaimed.

"Kadena, Rikku is my girlfriend. You don't really have a say in the matter." I said.

I took Rikku's hand into my own.

"And you were planning on telling me when?" Kadena asked.

"Why would he need to tell you?" Rikku said pulling her hand out of mine.

"Well he did just sleep with me the other night, I think I am entitled to know if he has a girlfriend."

"Gippal is this true."

"Yeah, but it was before the wedding." I replied.

"Oh then I don't see the problem here. Listen sweetie, Gippal is not interested in you so go away." Rikku said with pure hate in her voice.

"Fine, you know what Gippal fuck you I quit." Kadena said and took off.

Rikku smiled up at me and took my hand again. Wow that went a lot better then I thought it would. I thought Rikku would have taken off too.

"So show me to your room." She said with a smile and I did.

I opened the door and showed her the small room I stayed in night after night. She sat on the bed and smiled.

"This is such a guys room." She said with a giggle.

"Well umm I am a guy Rikku." I replied.

She dropped her bag on the ground and started to look around. She pulled open every drawer in my desk. Except for the one I kept locked, it had some personal items in there. I kept a lot of stuff from when I was with her and I didn't want her to think I was some sort of stalker or something. I had tons of pictures of us from the time we met to the time we broke up, the more recent ones that we had taken were on the self next to my bed. She looked them over and smiled. One was of everyone at Yuna's birthday party and the other one was of me and Rikku when we had to dance at Yuna's engagement party…I thought I put that away.

"Aww, I remember that I hated Yunie for making me dance with you." Rikku said

She had her back to me so I walked up behind her and put my arms around her. She made a quite "mmmm" sound.

"You know I could get used to this." She said.

Yeah so could I…We went to look at the moonflow apartments next. Rikku found one she really liked. It was awesome if I do say so myself. It had a balcony that went out to the moonflow; you see they built these apartments over the moon flow. Anyways it had three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one in the master and one in the hall. It would be perfect; we could take one room for us. One for my Machine Faction things and the other for whatever we please. Rikku let me know that she really wanted this one, and I gave in. Therefore, we told the people we wanted it and I paid the first three months rent right then and there. We got back to Djose before eleven and we figured we could go buy a bed and things for the apartment tomorrow.

Rikku laid down on my bed in seconds and rummaged through her bag for the nightgown she brought. I laid down next to her and began to undress her.

"Not tonight mister." I heard her say.

"What I'm just being helpful." I replied with sarcasm.

"Oh sure." She replied sitting up and removing her shirt and bra. Standing up she took of her shorts and was only in her panties. Damn this was not fair! She pulled on the white silk nightgown and sat down next to me. I could see through the nightie and it was not making things any better. She smiled seductively and laid down in my arms. I must say she is the only woman who would ever be able to do this to me, generally I'm the one that seduces them.

"Rikku. Please stop teasing me…" I said.

"Oh but its soooo much fun." She replied and began to nibble on my ear, which if you must know is a huge turn on.

"If your not gunna give me what I want then I don't want you to do this okay." I replied.

She suddenly stopped.

"Well who said I wasn't going to give you what you want?"

"Because you said 'not tonight' remember."

"Well I changed my mind."

Rikku's POV.

I woke up to a loud knocking at the door.

"Go away!" I yelled without opening my eyes.

"I need to speak with Gippal." Came the voice of an older man.

When I opened my eyes I realized I was not at home, and that I was yelling at one of Gippal's workers.

"Oh cunno!" I yelled through the door.

"It's okay Miss, but could you please get Gippal for us we have a matter to attend to." He said back.

I shook Gippal and he opened his eyes. He smiled and pulled me to him. He gave me a quick kiss and ran his hands down my body.

"Hey, not now someone is waiting for you outside." I said.

He sighed and sat up. We both dressed quickly me in my jeans and black tank top, Gippal in a pair of black pants and a red t-shirt he got from the calm lands. He opened the door as I was putting on my shoes. The man that was standing on the other side was middle-aged and was going bald. He looked at me and smiled.

"Oh Miss Rikku, I wasn't aware it was you in here." He said.

I didn't remember ever meeting him, but a lot of al-bhed knew my name and what I looked like.

"I'm sorry about yelling at you like that, I'm not exactly a morning person."

"Well if I must say it is well past morning."

I looked at my watch and laughed. He was right it was after noon.

"Anyways what do you need Zandrell?" Gippal said.

"Kadena hasn't showed up today and we need to finish the weapon she started."

"Zandrell, I thought I told you I needed to approve all new ideas before building started."

"Yes sir but I thought…" He looked at me and lowed his voice to a whisper but I still heard him. "Since you and miss Kadena were involved a few nights ago that she would have full authority with your absence."

Gippal looked at me and smiled thinking I wasn't listening.

"Well take me to this new weapon you started and I will see if it is worth keeping at all." Gippal said turned to me.

"Hey I'll be back in a little while. Help yourself to anything you need. If anyone gives you any trouble just tell me and I'll take care of it." He said and took off with the older man.

So, I sat on the bed in Gippal's room and got a brilliant idea. I went to the phone on the desk and called Yunie and Paine. I convinced Yuna right away but after the long conversation with Paine telling her about me and Gippal she agreed to help me. I was going to go pick out the furniture and decorate our brand new apartment. I needed Paine in this because I think she would help me pick out something Gippal would like. I remembered his room it was so plain…but I would help with that! Therefore, I left a note for Gippal and went to meet Yunie and Paine at the moonflow. I stood outside and watched as the Celsius approached, Brother must have given them a ride. Instead of just Yunie and Paine coming off the airship though, it was them plus Baralai and Tidus. I guess I really didn't mind they would come in handy when we moved the furniture in.

"Hey guys!" I said excitedly.

"Hey Rikku." Tidus said with a wave.

They all made their way to me and I got a big hug from Yuna next I got one from Tidus. Then Baralai, even Paine gave me hug, which was awkward.

"So show us this grand apartment." Yuna said.

I smiled and lead the way up to my new apartment it was on the forth floor so we had to take the elevator. When we got there, I unlocked it with my key and looked again at my future home. I lead everyone inside and I heard his or her gasps. I guess they didn't expect it to be this big.

"This is so nice Rikku." Yuna said.

"I know, but now I need to get some furniture in here. That's where all you guys come in."

"Yay." I heard Paine say.

"So lets go shopping then."

Okay from all the adventures I have been on I have acquired quite a lot of gil. To put it bluntly I'm rich. Therefore, money was not an object here. We went to a store in Guadosalam and I picked out this really cool bed. It was wood, but it was painted black or something. It was really big too so, I paid for it and had them load it on the airship. I also got two matching dressers and nightstands. For the living room, I got two crushed velvet couches that were midnight blue. They were so comfortable. I also got a cherry wood coffee table and two matching side tables, I picked up to polished silver lamps. I got a solid metal fridge and a black oven. I picked up a big screen plasma TV and a huge stereo. A microwave and toaster, a blender, you know just the normal kitchen stuff. The bedspread was pure black and I got red silky pillowcases and sheets to accent it. I picked up a desk, chair, and book self for Gippal's "office" as he called it. He could finish that room it was his own personal space, and I thought since he had his own space I should have mine right? So I decorated the other room with some stuff that was just me. Band posters, some bean bag chairs, a futon bed/couch, I put in a small stage, which I added a microphone and karaoke machine to. I attached a smaller plasma TV to the wall and added a mini fridge. This was the party room, Tidus' words not mine. When I was finally done decorating everything in a fashion I think suited both Gippal and me, I went back to Djose. Brother pulled the airship down to the ground, and I got out after saying good-bye to everyone. I walked to the temple everyone that was outside watching my every move when I got inside it was empty everyone seemed to be outside tonight. I made my way to Gippal's room and opened the door just the slightest bit. But I stopped when I heard Gippal talking to someone.

"Kadena, you have to understand it was a mistake."

"Oh so was it a mistake three months ago too?"

"No…but I love Rikku, and I was never in love with you."

"Well what I came here to tell you is important."

I came in the room at that moment. If she needed to say something that was important to him, she could say it to me too. Gippal turned to look at me. Kadena glared in my direction too.

"Oh Kadena what a surprise." I said sweetly.

"Rikku, your back." Gippal said a little nervous.

"Well Kadena, why are you here?" I asked walking over and sat on Gippal's lap.

I looked in her direction and smiled as if I actually enjoyed her presence here. Which in a way I did, she amused me.

"Well if you and Gippal are really as involved as he seems to think then I suppose you should know too." Kadena said then looked into Gippal's eyes.

I was anticipating what she had to say next, but I must say it wasn't exactly the thing I needed to hear.

"I'm pregnant."
