Irvine and Quistis sat in the cafeteria, debating the likelihood of Selphie being pregnant.
"Nope, Id say no, simply because her and Squall haven't been dating that long."
"Quistis, where the hell have you been? They've been dating for about 9 months now."
"What!? Why am I always the last one to know to everything!"
"Because you've always got some paperwork or book shoved in your face and you dont pay attention, that's why, Quisty. Now come on. I want a smoke."
"Since when do you smoke Irvy?"
"See? Exactly my point."
Quistis sighed and narrowed her eyes at Irvine who merely smirked at her with that smartass look of his.
"Fine!" She screamed before she huffed and stood up.
"Let's go so you can get your smoke in."
"That's the spirit!" Irvine said as he slung an arm around Quistis' shoulder and walked with her.
"Now Selphie how long have you been having unprotected sex?"
Selphie looked thoughful for a moment then replied.
"Um...7-ish months...maybe a little longer but not by much."
"You do know that you can get pregnant the first time you have unprotected sex, right?"
"Y-yeah. "
"It was consensual, right?" The doctor asked as per standard protocol.
"Oh yes! God yes!" Selphie's eyes lit up with a strange glint in her eyes that only could be regarded as lust.
The doctor raised her eyebrow and shook her head. "I dont need to know the details. Look, the point being is, you could be further along then you think you are."
"Well seeing as how I didn't know that I was, you're probably right." Selphie replied sarcastically with a bit of an edge to her voice.
The doctor raised her eyebrow at the tone in her voice but chalked it up to the pregnancy hormones and said nothing.
"Now Selphie, are you doing any illegal drugs, such as cocaine, marijuana, crack, heroine? Anything of that nature?
Selphie looked at the woman like she was insane and could murder her and in the same look she looked like she could cry because she felt like the doctor would think she was that irresponsible.
"Look Selphie, I need to know these things so if anything irregular shows up on the monitors I know what it is."
"No, I wouldnt damage my body like that, pregnant or no."
"Okay. What about alcoholic beverages? "
"Ive had one in the last 6 months or so."
"Okay, it should have ran its course by now."
"Is there anything else I need to be aware of?"
"Not that I can think of."
"Well if you do, write it down, because, depending on how far along you are, there is this condition called pregnancy brain."
Squall opened his eyes and blinked using the edge of the bed to push himself up into a kneeling position.
"Uh...hey...Selphie...sorry about that. I just wasn't expecting that."
"Its okay honey. So the doctor says Im only about 2 months pregnant. So we have about 7ish to prepare financially for the new arrival.
"I-Im g-going t-to b-be a-a f-father.."
"And Im going to be a mother."
They both looked to each other as it finally set in and their eyes got wide.
"We have to prepare for a baby. Holy shit! "
Selphie began try to get out of the bed with all the wires attached to her and began pulling the wires off of her arms and legs.
"Selphie, calm down!"
"No Squall I will not calm down! We have a little life growing inside of me and I wont let anything happen to the baby!"
Squall reached towards Selphie to restrain her and she dug into his arm with her nails, causing blood to seep out from between her fingers.
Squall ground his teeth to avoid shouting out in pain as he continued to try to restrain her. Feeling it was a losing battle her shouted out
"Doctor! Doctor!"
The doctor rushed into the room at the slight panic in Squall's voice and gasped and rushed to his side putting her hands on Selphie's chest, attempting to halt her progress.
Unfortunately Selphie had the strength of a level 100 Ruby Dragon and continued pushing forward, dragging Squall along with her.
Sighing and as a last resort she sucked some liquid up into a syringe and shot it into the back of Selphie's neck, causing her to stiffen immediately and collapse and fell down into Squall's arms.
Squall slowly dragged her back to the bed and laid her down on it. Breathing heavily he wiped the sweat off of his forehead and noticed the blood on her arms.
"Hey Doctor, can I get something for my arms?"
"Yeah Squall just a sec- What the hell happened?!"
Squall rolled his eyes and thumbed towards Selphie.
"And I thought she was bad on her period." He sighed.
The doctor chuckled and smiled.
"Oh Commander...you have no idea..."
"What do you mean?" Squall asked with a slight bit of apprehension.
"Imagine her period, times 100."
Squall smacked his forehead with his hand, hard.
