AN: Hey I am back with an entirely different type of story, but this is still a Seiftis. As the summary says, Quistis is suddenly pregnant and in labor for unknown reasons. Forgive me if any part of the labor scene is wrong because I'm not exactly an expert on it.

Instructor number fourteen, Quistis Trepe, cried out as a sudden pain in her abdomen shocked her system. Her eyes flew open, her sleep interrupted, and her hands flew to her stomach. What she felt there sent a chill through her heart and mind, and with a lot of difficulty she got out of bed and made it to her bathroom mirror and lifted up her shirt. She wanted to scream, but couldn't find her voice as she stared at her reflection. Her belly was huge, and not just any huge, she looked like she was nine months pregnant.

"This can't be happening…" She murmured, waiting for Dr. Kadowaki to pick up the phone. It was just past dawn, so she should be awake, so what was taking so long?

"Dr. Kadowaki speaking."

"I need a wheelchair up here right away!" Was it she who was speaking? The voice sounded so upset, so distraught, while inside herself somewhere, she was frozen, not able to believe what was happening.

"Quistis? Is that you? What's wrong?" Kadowaki's voice remained calm. She was not one to crack under emergency situations.

"Yes! Please, I need a wheel chair!" Quistis hiccuped into the phone. She ached all over.

"Calm down, I'll be right there." There was click as Kadowaki hung up the phone. Quistis didn't bother to and it soon began to beep incessantly. What was going on? This couldn't be happening! She was a virgin for Hyne's sake! It had to be a dream, a nightmare! Quistis cowered on her floor, next to her bed, and soon she heard a key in her lock. The door opened and Kadowaki entered, along with one of her trainees and the requested wheel chair.

"What's going on Quistis? Who's wounded?" She asked, looking around. She only saw Quistis, huddled on the floor and crying.

"I'm….." Quistis began, then sobbed hysterically.

Kadowaki knelt beside her. "You're what Quistis?" When she didn't answer the nurse proceeded to slap her face. That brought her to attention and stopped her tears. The normally calm, collected Quistis took over. "I'm in labor."

"You're what?!" The normally calm, collected doctor disappeared. Quistis stood up with the trainee's help and showed the doctor her belly. The trainee's mouth fell open in surprise and looked fairly nervous at his trainer's lapse. Kadowaki herself seemed to be at a loss for words. Quistis seated herself very carefully in the wheel chair as the doctor regained her composure.

"Well, now, I can see why you're so upset." Kadowaki finally said, then came behind her patient and pushed her out of the room, her student following.

Quistis had another contraction on the way to the nurses station, her cries scaring the few students who were up and about at this time, but Kadowaki didn't stop until Quistis was lying on one of the beds being prepared for a sonogram. She had checked her pupils, and considering the irregularity of the contractions, and the fact that Quistis' water hadn't broken, Kadowaki decided that the labor was false, but she would watch it just to be sure.

Both women were fairly calm now, despite the current situation, and Kadowaki proceeded to question her incessantly.

"How did this happen?"

"I don't know! I just woke up like this!"

"Have you been intimate with anyone lately?"

Quistis' thoughts flew to the kiss she had shared with Seifer-but that had been a week ago and it had not gone further than that. In fact they had basically avoided each other in the past week, or rather she had avoided him. "No. Besides, it would have had to have happened nine months ago, things like this just don't happen overnight anyway."

"Well then, nine months ago?" The doctor was being very patient.

"No, not at all, never. I think I would have noticed that I was pregnant anyway." Quistis groaned at the next contraction and Kadowaki began the sonogram. She frowned when she saw the picture, making Quistis cry, "What? What is it?"

Kadowaki smiled. "It, would be a boy. Apparently you're going to have a son, Quistis."

" A son?" Kadowaki turned the screen so that she could see the picture. Quistis' eyes went wide and then she let her head fell back into the pillow as she contemplated this new information. "How?" She whispered, and at that moment Squall and Rinoa burst into the room, just as Quistis began to smile.

"What's going on? There's a rumor going around that Quistis is pregnant." Squall asking, looking from one smiling person to the next.

"Indeed she is. She's having some false contractions right now, as a matter of fact." Kadowaki told him, as she cleaned the gel off of an embarrassed Quistis. Squall looked like he was going to faint and Rinoa began to squeal happily.

"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant Quisty?" She asked excitedly, moving to her friend's side, and Quistis shook her head.

"I didn't know. I just woke up like this." Quistis told her honestly, and Rinoa pouted.

"You don't just wake up pregnant, Quistis. Who's the father?"

Obviously there had to be a father, pregnancies weren't just one-sided, but there wasn't a father. "I don't know."

"You don't know?!" Rinoa looked appalled, and Squall looked like he was going to throw up. "Quisty, you weren't ya know…?" Rinoa looked upset at the sudden thought.

"No, of course not, Rin." Quistis then explained from the beginning what had happened.

"Maybe it's a spell." Squall suggested, and just then the phone rang.

"It doesn't feel like a spell." Quistis replied, clutching the bed at the next contraction. Kadowaki tapped the worried Squall on the shoulder and handed him the phone. Rinoa took Quistis' hand within her own and squeezed it with a smile. "Whatever it is, I'm sure we'll figure it out." She said reassuringly. Quistis gave her a small smile back

"Is there anything I can do for you, anything you want?" Rinoa asked her, as Squall hung up the phone. She wanted…she needed…Quistis felt the longing inside her but couldn't place it.

"Seifer is back from his mission." Squall announced.

"That was quick." Rinoa commented, and Squall nodded grimly.

"I told him he'll have to wait to give his report. He didn't like that of course."

"Seifer?" Quistis repeated softly, and all three turned to look at her questioningly. A new voice cut off any remark they were about to make.

"What's going on, ya know?" Raijin entered the room, followed by Fujin.

Kadowaki was the first to answer. "Nothing we can't handle. Is there something wrong?"

"We're good, ya know? But we heard Instructor Trepe wasn't so we came to check on her, ya know?"

"Quisty is going to be just fine." Rinoa told him, and he scratched his head, looking perplexed as Quistis abruptly had another contraction.

"She doesn't look fine, ya know? We've got to make sure, because Seifer asked us to look after her, ya know? And if she's hurt he'll be mad, ya know?"

"What?" Quistis asked recovering, voicing the surprise of the others as well as her own. Seifer had asked them to look after her?

"IDIOT." Fujin said, kicking Rajin in the shin. He jumped up in pain.

"That hurt, ya know?" He said, rubbing his injury. Quistis watched, amused. "So is she okay?" Raijin finally asked, without out the use of 'ya know?'. Fujin shook her silver head in irritation.

Quistis smiled at them. "I'll be fine, thank you for your concern."

"SURE?" Fujin asked, and Quistis nodded as best she could. "GOOD. GLAD." Fujin allowed herself to smile at the pregnant Quistis, recognizing her discomfort for what it was but was refraining from asking what was going on, then dragged a staring Raijin away. A silence gathered in the room at their retreating footsteps and then their voices.

"SEIFER."

"We did what you asked, ya know? But something weird is going on in there, ya know?"

Quistis could almost see his smirk. She smiled then let it fade as heavy footsteps approached the infirmary.

"He probably wants to give his report." Squall guessed, unwilling to admit that Seifer cared. Rinoa rolled her eyes, as did Kadowaki. Quistis, meanwhile, felt her hopes drop. Her hopes? Huh?

Seifer Almasy entered the room, his coat flailing about his legs. Quistis had always felt that whenever Seifer walked into a room he filled it, not because of his size, but because of his presence alone.

Emerald eyes quickly scanned the room, and if he held any surprise over Quistis' condition, he showed none. He pushed past the three onlookers to Quistis' side and pulled over a chair and sat beside her. All of what should have been his surprise was currently on her face.

"Should have known you'd get yourself into trouble without me around. And it only took two days." He said, smirking at her. Rinoa stood quickly and went to Squall as he scowled, looking as if he was going to tackle Seifer at any moment.

"What about those years you weren't around Almasy?" Quistis replied quickly, and his smirk turned into a smile. At that moment Rinoa grabbed Squall's arm and led him unwillingly from the room. Dr. Kadowaki busied herself with making a few phone calls.

"So what's going on here? I thought I was going to be your first, Instructor." Seifer taunted, eyes sparkling with amusement.

Quistis glared good-naturedly at him. "I woke up this way. Care to explain?"

Seifer lifted up his hands in defense. "Hey don't look at me Trepe. I work fast, but not that fast."

He lowered his hands as she sighed, and a comfortable silence drifted between them.

"So, what is it?" Seifer asked, his eyes turning to her belly.

Quistis smiled. "It's a boy."

"A boy?" He repeated, and Quistis pointed to the monitor where the picture still remained. "Well, it looks normal. Any idea on how this happened?"

"Squall suggested a spell, but I don't know of any spell that could do this."

Seifer frowned. "Maybe Matron would know. Has anybody contacted her yet?"

"I don't know, maybe Dr. Kadowaki has. It was all kind of sudden." Quistis paused as Kadowaki stuck her head in the room.

"How are you feeling?"

"Well I haven't had a contraction since Raijin and Fujin were here." Quistis told her, and she nodded thoughtfully.

"That's good. The birth won't be anytime soon now. Well I've talked to the Headmaster and explained the situation. Your duties as instructor will be taken care of, and I put in a call to Edea as well. Squall told Selphie to pick her up on their way back from Esthar, so she should be here soon. As for you, I'm keeping you under close watch, but I need to go do a few errands." She turned to Seifer, who was listening quietly. "Seifer, can you watch her while I'm out? My beeper is on speed dial seven should you need to contact me." He nodded and her head popped out view and the soft tap of her shoes faded away.

Quistis returned her focus to Seifer, whose eyes had returned to the screen showing her baby. He hadn't shown any surprise or confusion over her sudden pregnancy, and had not once mentioned the kiss. At the memory of his lips on hers she suddenly flushed pink and turned away. When she was calmer she turned back to Seifer, who by this point, was looking at her.

"Seifer, aren't you the least bit shocked over this?" She asked, and he chuckled.

"Hell yeah, but I'm not going to freak out about it. I'm surprised you're taking it so well."

"I did freak out, at first." Quistis admitted.

"I don't blame you." Seifer agreed, lifting his feet and resting them on the end of her bed, angling himself and slumping in his chair as he relaxed. "So, are you going to name him Squall junior?" He jibed, and Quistis chucked the handiest thing she could find at him, which happened to be the gel that Kadowaki had used. Seifer didn't bother to block it and it smacked against his chest. "You're pretty feisty for a pregnant chick, you know that?"

She refused to answer him and instead pulled the blankets up higher around her and crossed her arms and looked away. Seifer rolled his eyes. "I hope the kid has your attitude, just so you can see yourself in action." Still she didn't respond. Seifer pulled his legs down and sat up, trying to get a look at her face. She was crying.

"Come on Instructor, you always refused to cry in front of me, so why start now?" It bothered him that she suddenly would, even given the circumstances. It wasn't much of a comfort, but it made Quistis wipe her tears anyway. She had not used a GF for a while now, and she had regained most of her child-hood memories in effect. She'd always stood up to Seifer, and would never cry in front of him, waiting till she was by herself to do so, so why would she start now? Because she was confused, in pain, tired, and scared. How had all of this happened?
