A/n: hello again I'm back with yet another chapter. You see when I post my stories I write little by little, which is bad maybe I should actually write the story before posting it but oh well this is the way I work. Anyways, this story is not turning out like anything I planed…oh well thanks for reading it anyways and on with the next chapter.

Chapter 6

Gippal's POV

Those two words just flowed out of her mouth. The two words that made Rikku turn from me, she was pregnant. Rikku had gotten of my lap and crossed the room. She had her back to me and I knew she was pissed. I was stupid I slept with someone I didn't care about and I got her pregnant.

"Kadena…" I started but I lost my voice after that.

"Kadena I think, you need to leave Gippal and I have to talk." Rikku said her voice heavy with tears.

Kadena looked at Rikku with apologetic eyes and then at me with hate filled ones.

"I'm sorry Rikku." She said and left.

I sat on the edge of my bed and looked at Rikku's back. She was shaking and I knew she was crying.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"No…you're stupid."

"Yeah I'm that too, but you have to believe me I didn't mean to hurt you at all."

She just shook her head.

She hated me. I blew it again. God why did I have to be so fucking dumb when it came to her? I rubbed my forehead and sighed. I stood up and walked over to her.

"Rikku, I know that this is a big hit on the head. But right now I could really use you." I said.

She took a deep breath and turned to face me.

"I know." She smiled.

Wait…she's smiling? She doesn't hate me.

"You're not mad?"

"No why should I be? I mean sure you got her pregnant but it was before we started dating so it's not like you cheated on me or anything."

I put my arms around her; she didn't hug back at first. However, I still felt okay. I really thought I would lose her over this.

"I'm so happy that you don't hate me." I said to her.

"I never hated you."

I held her closer to me and fought back the urge to laugh. This was maybe the best thing about today. Rikku didn't hate me she never did!

"Gippal I think you should ask for full custody." She said.

It took me by surprise. Full custody? How would I manage that?

"What?"

"Well it would be less painful for the child. Maybe if he or she grew up with just me and you instead of going back and forth all the time it would be easier."

"Are you saying you would help me raise this kid?"

"Sure why not."

I was shocked. I mean sure I love her and maybe she even loves me but she was offering to raise a child with me, one that isn't even hers!

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.

"Yes. I love you and I think it would be fun to have a little kid running around."

She wanted a little kid running around? This was different. Nevertheless, if it's what she wanted I would have to talk to Kadena.

"So where were you today?" I asked leading her over to the bed.

"Oh me? I just went and decorated our apartment!" She exclaimed with excitement in her eyes.

"Really? That's cool, I was going to make you do it anyways." I replied.

"Anyways, since it's only sevenish I thought that maybe we can stay there tonight?"

I smiled; she wanted to spend the night in our apartment together. Sure, we would go to the apartment if it was what she wanted. I nodded and her smile widened.

"I really think you'll like our room. I decorated with my two new favorite colors." She said.

She must have been talking about red and black; I noticed she seemed into them the past few days.

"What color?" I asked just to make sure.

"Red and black silly." She replied.

"Not baby blue?" I asked.

"Nah I already have a baby blue room at Yunie's." She replied and stuffed her nightgown in the bag she had brought. Then she rummaged through bringing out the necklace I had given her and putting it on.

She finished with what she was doing and picked up her stuff, then we left going to our new apartment.

Rikku's POV

Okay so I was not completely throwing a fit, but then again it's not as if he intended to get Kadena knocked up. So here, I was unlocking the door to our apartment with Gippal standing behind me. Actually to tell you the truth I was somewhat happy right now. I mean if all worked out I would get a kid without all the pain of childbirth. So yeah, I was nineteen but hey, Gippal is only twenty. I pulled Gippal into the apartment and flipped on the lights. He smiled and I knew he liked it.

"This place kicks ass Ri." He said and gave me a hug.

"Yeah I know. I added a 'party room' as Tidus called it but it looks like it will become a bedroom." I replied and sat down on my new couch.

"Actually I think a play room would be nice for the kid when it gets older, so lets just turn the office into the bedroom. Plus since I wont be sleeping at Djose I can just turn that into an office." He replied.

I smiled. This was going to be okay.

"Anyways I want to show you the rest of the house." I said and grabbed his hand.

I showed him the playroom next. He thought it was cool and he even sang a song on the karaoke machine. Surprisingly he had an okay voice. I walked past the office and showed the bathroom then our room. He ran to the bed and dived onto it. I laughed it was funny. So, even though we were dating now he wasn't trying to be all serious like Tidus and Yuna were which I was grateful for. I mean sure Tidus and Yuna were a cute couple, but sometimes all their lovey-dovey stuff makes me gag. I joined him on the bed and laid down.

"So what do you think?"

"I like it. Feels like home." He replied and kissed me.

"You know I never imagined my life to be like this." I replied.

He looked at me perching his head on his elbows.

"Really? How did you imagine life then?" he asked me.

Wow, he was actually asking me to tell him about my life. Okay here goes nothing.

"Well when I was a kid I imagined living in a big house with a white picket fence and 2.5 children, but now…I don't want that at all. It seems kind of cheesy actually." I said and laughed.

He just smiled.

"And was I ever with you?"

"No, my husband had black hair and these beautiful blue eyes. I never wanted to marry another al-bhed." I replied.

"Well that just gives me a lot of comfort." He replied.

"Oh what do you want to marry me Gippy?" I said next.

I covered my mouth after that it just slipped I really didn't mean to say that. Oh, my god please don't answer that! No wait if he answers then it will be okay right, but what if he says no…then what will I do? Ack I hate my stupid mouth sometimes! I know just laugh it off pretend it was a joke!

I began to laugh lightly and he just continued to stare at me as if he was really thinking about my question. Oh god…what have I done? I stopped laughing and looked at him. I swallowed hard after the silence had hung in the air for more then ten minutes. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. Finally, I got fed up with the uncomfortable silence and stood up.

"I'm going to get ready for bed." I said and picked up my bag walking into the bathroom.

Gippal's POV

I heard the bathroom door shut and lock and then I heard the shower start. I could not answer her…I mean yea I did but I couldn't tell her that. Not yet anyways. I mean she said it as a joke right? So if I said yes it might scare her off. But If I said no it would hurt her more then when I broke up with her that night before I left for the crimson squad. So how could I answer her question? I continued to stare at the ceiling and think about how I would answer her. I was thinking about maybe taking her to dinner…I remember when I was younger before my folks died my mom told me the story of how my dad popped the question. He took her on a picnic to the oasis at night. It was a full moon and she said the stars seemed to be shining for her that night. If I remember correctly, I said "Mama that's nasty why would I ever wanna be with a girl like that? Girls are weird!" She just laughed and replied with "One day you will I promise." Well lets face it she was right I wanted to be with Rikku like that. I wanted to take her to a nice place and show her how much I loved her. Yeah so, what was wrong with that?

I sat up and looked to the closed door I knew she was going to be a while. So, I snuck out. Yeah I snuck out and went to get her a ring. I picked out a silver one with a nice big diamond in the center; on the sides of the diamonds were opals. It really reminded me of Rikku. On the way back I picked up some moonlilys, she liked those too. Then when I came in she was on the bed in a red nightie. She must have gone shopping for cloths too. When she saw me come in, she looked in my direction and smiled. Her hair was down and she looked like a goddess. I know I know I'm being cheesy…pathetic but damn it I just can't help it.

"Hi." I said nervously.

"Hey there where did you go?" She asked turning the page of a book she was reading.

I pulled the flowers out from behind my back and walked over to her.

"These are for you." I said

She took them in her arms and smelt them.

"Moonlilys! My favorite!" She exclaimed.

She looked at me.

"What's the special occasion?"

Okay this was it now or never. My heart was pounding like crazy and It was so loud I was sure she could hear it. I felt dizzy, and like I might be sick. I sat down next to her; yeah I sure as hell wasn't getting down on my knee…that was too old fashioned for me. Anyways so I sat next to her and told her to close her eyes, she did and when I told her to open them her eyes grew big and her mouth dropped open.

"I've been thinking not only since you said something, but since the day I met you. I've been thinking that I want to be with you forever. I remember telling myself when I was seven years old, I'm gunna marry her one day." I looked at her…she was crying but it was good because she was smiling too.

"So Rikku, I was thinking that maybe now would be a good time to ask you because just in the past four days that I have been with you I realized that I love you more then anyone I have ever met and I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

"Gippal do you want me to marry you?" She asked.

"Yes, I want you to marry me Rikku."

She nodded with enthusiasm and kissed me with equal passion. I slipped the ring on her finger and that night we just talked and laid together and it felt right, you know as if it were meant to be in a certain way. So I went to sleep that night in my new house, with my new fiancé and I was the happiest I had been in a very long time.
