"Maybe you should just let it go now Seymour." Graav began.

"Yeah I agree with Graav on this one. You've been trying to get her since September." Bickson said.

Seymour sat in the back of the classroom with Bickson and Graav watching as all the students entering the classroom. "Boys you just don't get it. I'm determined to get her." He paused for a moment. "I've always been there for Yuna. I've seduced her, took her out on dates, laughed along with her, I even snuck up into her hospital room to see her. I care about her. What more does she want?"

"She doesn't want anything more Seymour." Bickson replied. "All she wants is Tidus."

Seymour looked up to see that very same person. Tidus walked in smiling with Rikku and Wakka as they took their seats in the front of the class. "No."

"No what?" Graav asked.

Seymour smiled. "I can't. I won't. I will not allow myself to be beaten by that…that… fruitcake!"

"Now you're just becoming obsessed." Bickson told him chuckling.

"Exactly." Seymour finished.

Monday. March 14;
One Month Later

"So Yuna, when are we exactly planning on telling everyone about…umm us?" Tidus asked as the two left class and headed for the cafeteria for lunch.

"I don't know. How do you think everyone will react?" Yuna replied asking.

"I think that everyone will be happy for us. I mean, they'd like it a lot better then seeing us fight and argue all the time."

Yuna chuckled. "Yeah, you're right. So…when do you want to tell them?"

"Whenever you're ready." Tidus replied happily as they took a seat down together at a table and pulled out they're lunches.

Yuna sighed. "Tidus, the baby will be born two months from now. Its not that far away, you know? And we still haven't done any planning whatsoever."

"I know, you're right. We really have to start planning everything out. How about you're place today after school?"

Yuna nodded her head. "Okay." She then paused for a moment. "So I heard about that Blitzball tournament in May. You'll be going to Luca, for how long?"

Tidus took a sip of his water. "Its only for 5 days." He looked over at Yuna to see her stare down at her stomach nervously. "Hey." He began softly placing his hand over hers. "I'll be here when the baby is born. I promise, okay?"

Yuna looked up at him with a relieved smile. "I wouldn't know what I'd so if you wouldn't be there with me on that day."

Tidus smiled cheerfully at her. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

I hope that everything will turn out okay. Its already mid way through March and the baby is expected late May. I never really told Tidus this before cuz I don't want to worry him but…thinking about having this baby really frightens me. I don't know if I'm ready. But then I'd always see that contented look in his eyes, which makes me feel sheltered, comfortable…it then makes me realize that I know that having this baby won't be easy. But I have Tidus by my side, and he'll always be there for the both of us. Yuna thought as she finished up her lunch.

"Hey guys!" Came Rikku's loud overexcited voice from across the cafeteria. She then joined the two at the table.

"Hi Rik." Tidus began as he took a sip of his water.

"Argh I hate Mondays, everyone is always so tired and boring. No fun for me." She took a bite of a chocolate muffin she had purchased earlier. "So—hey, wait a minute. Since when have the two of you began to eat lunch together alone?"

Yuna and Tidus looked at each other embarrassingly then back at Rikku.

"Well you know, everyone else wasn't here with us today so we decided to start without them since we were hungry." Tidus told her cleverly.

Yuna smiled going along with it. "Yeah."

Rikku stared at them suspiciously. "Well…okay then, I guess that makes sense."

Soon after the bell went off.

"Well." Tidus began standing up. "I'm off to my next classes. I'll see you girls around." He waved then walked off.

Rikku and Yuna stood up a few seconds later and began to walk off together.

"You seem awfully happy lately Yunie. If I recall you haven't mentioned anything bad that's been going on lately with you and Tidus."

"Well that's because we seem to be getting along now." Yuna looked over at Rikku. "There isn't much time left before the baby is born. To tell the truth, we really don't have any time to argue with each other."

"Well that's always good to know. "Little Ryo needs good supporting parents for when he's born and for when he's growing up."

"You said it." Yuna finished with a nod.

Seymour walked back and forth as all the Blitzers gathered in the sphere for practice.

Hmm…Tidus and Yuna together…makes me sick just to even think about it. He began to think to himself. What does she in him? Especially when there is a guy like me around to care for her. Heh. Tidus is going to be crying more then that baby once it comes. Ha, ha, what a fruitcake. But I'm not going to give up. I'll prove to Yuna that I'm the better pick.

Tidus then entered the blitzball gym and looked over to see Seymour staring at him. But what had surprised him was when he had quickly looked away from him. Okay, that was weird. He usually gives me a life threatening death glare of some sort. But just now, he gave me nothing. Hmm, maybe he's finally given up?

Seymour blew on his whistle. "Okay everyone, assemble!" He waited until all the team members climbed out of the pool and walked over to him. "Now then. Coach is busy for the day so I'll be taking over. The tournament is in the beginning of May. I shouldn't have to tell you twice but until the day comes when we leave for Luca, I want you all to train hard. If any one of you screws up, I have no objection to cut you and have you replaced with some former Blitzers I know."

Tidus stood there listening to him continue on. Is winning everything all this guy thinks of? Wanting to win the tournament, winning over Yuna's heart, doing everything in his power to take me down…is this guy for real?

"Tidus?" Came his loud voice.

Tidus snapped out of his thought and looked over at Seymour. "Yeah, what?"

Seymour walked up to him, his eyes glistering with rage. "I'm repositioning you to defense."

"What?" Tidus exclaimed. "What the hell—I'm better at the front lines as an offensive player! Like…argh! Defense?"

"If you don't like it, feel free to leave the team." He spoke, his voice soft. Seymour then turned around and blew his whistle. "Everyone in the sphere!"

Tidus stood there with his arms crossed until Wakka came up. "Defense, eh? What is Seymour planning?"

"Hmpt!" Tidus hissed. "He's just trying to get back at me cuz he can't get Yuna. Geez how low can that guy get?"

"Shuyin." Wakka and Tidus heard Seymour call. They saw Shuyin walk over to him.

"Yeah huh?" He asked.

"You're going to be in the front lines taking Tidus' place from now on. I expect to see lots of aggression as an offensive player from you."

"Got it."

"Argh, can you believe that?" Tidus asked Wakka. "Giving my position to him."

"Well Shuyin is a pretty good player." Wakka said.

"Whatever." Frankly, Tidus was too pissed off to argue with Wakka. Tidus knew that Seymour was trying all he could to bring him down so that he could get Yuna. But Tidus wasn't the type to be beaten by someone like him.

"Come on people! We got 52 minutes before class is over!" Seymour shouted.

"Might as well jump in too, ya?" Wakka asked Tidus as he took off his shirt and pants, revealing his shorts.

"…Yeah okay." He replied. If Seymour wants to fight with fire, then so will I. After all, I'm not giving up on Yuna either. And I will not see her in HIS arms. Not now, not ever.

The end of the day soon came and Yuna found herself walking down the hall, approaching her locker and opening it, organizing all her books. It'll be the first time that Cid will see Tidus once he comes over…I wonder what he'll say? I hope nothing too drastic. If we explain our situation to him respectively, I'm sure he'll understand. At least…I hope he will.

"Yuna!" Came Tidus' voice from down the hall.

She turned her head and saw him approach.

"Sorry I'm late. Has a little difficulty with Blitz class." He told her.

Yuna closed her locker. "It's alright. I just finished up here anyways. You're right on time."

Tidus smiled cheerfully. "That's good. I wouldn't want to make a bad impression and make you wait for me."

Yuna giggled. "I wouldn't mind, really." She leaned in closer and began to kiss him. Oh how she longed to finally kiss him again after such a long time. Ever since they had shared that kiss outside Tidus' house that night, all she wanted to do was to be with him and make things work for the both of them. And Yuna was pretty sure that Tidus felt the same as her.

"OH…MY………YEVON!" The voice of Rikku interrupted.

Yuna and Tidus pulled away from each other and turn they're heads to see Rikku, Lulu, Lenne, and Wakka all standing there with their mouths opened, not fully believing that what they were seeing was real or just they're imagination.

"Uh oh…" Tidus trailed off softly. He smiled nervously at his friends. "Uhh…hey guys…umm…how long we're you standing there?"

"Long enough!" Rikku blurted out.

Tidus looked back over at Yuna to see that she wasn't as surprised as he was. "Uhh, well you see…ah man…" Tidus trailed off once again.

"Would it be too much asking what is going on here?" Lenne asked.

"Well…to tell the truth we really didn't want you guys to find out this way but—" Yuna continued.

"—Yuna and I are in love!" Tidus interrupted. He felt is heart skip a beat and felt like he was going to pass out cuz even though he had just told them the truth, the expressions on they're faces didn't change. He then took a deep breath. Hey come on now, all he was doing was telling his friends about the relationship he was sharing with Yuna. He had to be more headstrong about these things and take matters into his own hands.

"…………………………What?" Lulu asking not fully sure she heard him correctly.

Tidus held Yuna's hand and smiled at the four before him and Yuna. "Yuna and I have put aside our differences and decided to be together now."

Wakka crossed his arms over his chest. "And how long has this been going on?"

Yuna shyly dripped her head and stared at the floor. "Um…A month now…"

"And you never told us?" Lulu asked.

"Yunie!" Rikku shouted. "You should have told us! Why didn't you?"

"We honestly didn't know how you guys would react." She replied.

"Uh—well—better then this way!" Rikku said.

"Come on guys, give us a break. Yuna and I are trying here and we really don't want all of you to be like this. Can't you at least be happy for us?" Tidus asked them.

"It's not that Tidus." Lenne began. "We are happy for the two of you to finally stop fighting with each other. It's just that…well…"

"You should have told us." Lulu finished.

"Well we wanted to see how well it'd work out for us before we told everyone." He told them.

Everyone then stood around, pondering in thought about everything that had just gone on in the past 5 minutes.

"Well, we really can't talk about this right now. Tidus and I are going to talk with uncle Cid right now and it'd be really good for us if we weren't late." Yuna told them. "We'll see you later." And with that, she picked up her backpack and walked away with Tidus, hand in hand.

"…Well……what are we suppose to do now?" Wakka asked.

"There's really nothing we can do but to support them." Lenne replied. "I mean, this is what we wanted for them anyways, right?"

"That's true." Rikku replied. She then chuckled. "I just can't believe that they kept this a secret all this time. Yunie…you're a tricky one."

"Uncle Cid, I'm home!" Yuna called out.

Cid came walking through the hallway and approached the two. "Hello Yuna." He then looked over at the boy. "So this is the father?"

"Yes." Yuna simply replied softly.

Cid chuckled. "You got guts for sticking around this whole time. I like that."

Tidus smiled. "Thank you sir."

"Well come in, come in, we've got lots to talk about." Cid told the two pushing them into the living room to sit down.

Hey I finally updated! Hahaha. Well I hope you enjoyed the chapter, sorry for the long wait. Stick around to find out what will happen next. Will Tidus survive 'the talk' with Cid? What is Seymour exactly planning? And what is going on with Tidus' father Jecht? All this and more to be revealed in the next chapter.
