The story is not for profit. Square Soft owns these
characters and is probably highly indignant about now. Irvine�s POV. OCC for a reason, although I�m trying not to let them stray too
far from the path. Kittens will become the property of XIneko.

Fever: Chapter 6

She said, daddy oh don't you dare

"He gives me fever

"With his kisses

"Fever when he holds me tight
(�Fever� by Peggy Lee)

These have been the worse weeks of my life.

The backache never left and neither did the nausea. I had to
quit the beer, because you can�t drink while pregnant.

I went through the crying phase and the sex phase and
neither of those got better, either. I got hugely fat and clumsy and all I
wanted to do was hide in my bed and sleep and sleep.

Just when things couldn�t get worse, they did.

Selphie couldn�t accept the whole pregnancy thing and she
left me, going back to Trabia to help with the rebuilding there.

Then Odine or Xu or some big mouth blabbed to the press and
suddenly The Pregnant Man was on every tabloid headline. The Press camped the
Garden and became so intrusive I finally had to leave. I mean, Squall couldn�t
keep the Garden in motion forever.

Kadowski and I ended
up in Winhill, staying at the ruined orphanage. Kadowski had to stay with, she
was writing a paper on me.

I was near my time when Squall showed up. I don�t know what
I would have done with out him. He rubbed my back, boiled water, paced around,
did the whole nervous father thing.

Then, when the contractions really started coming, Zell
walked in.

Now I�m lying here on a rough wool blanket in a shell of a
building, trying not to scream. Outside, over the crash of the waves, I can
hear Squall and Zell fighting.

I am praying they
don�t kill each other.

From between my legs, Kadowski commands, �Push!�

I do my best, panting with the pain.

Kadowski smiles triumphantly and lays a tiny being on my belly.
Even through the blood and goop of birth, I can see bright intelligent eyes,
sweet little pointed ears, clever whiskers and an adorable little fluffy tail.

�C�mon, Irvine,� Kadowski says, �Only four more to go.�

I let the screams come.

�Irvine?�

�Irvine!�

�Kinneas! Stay with me!�

I blinked and tried to focus on Squall. He and the Doctor
were bent over me. How�d I get on the floor?

�Put that pillow under his feet,� Kadowski ordered. She was
taking my pulse.

�What?� I tried for more, but that�s as far as I could get.

Kadowski smiled down at me. �You fainted.�

�Damn I guess.� I tried to sit up but she pushed me back.

�I wouldn�t have
fainted,� Squall was sitting on his heels, rubbing my legs after tucking a
couch cushion under my feet. He flashed me his quick, shy smile and leaned
forward to whisper, �I�d�ve shit.�

�Is it true?� Maybe I dreamed it all!

She was polishing those damn glasses again. �You�re not human
anymore, Irvine. I don�t know� the tests I ran today, I ran myself, so there
could be no mistake. I used Squall as a control, because the two of you have
had the fever the longest. � The pregnancy hormone levels are present in both
your blood and your urine. If you were a human woman, I�d say the was
absolutely no question.�

�Gonna faint again,� I said.

Eventually we were back to sitting all cozy in Kadowski�s
parlor. I was sipping lemon tea, which was almost as good as lemonade-beer. I
guessed I�d really have to give that up, now, just like in the dream.

I shuddered; hoping nothing else in the dream came true.

�Are there any other tests you can run, Doctor?� Squall was
still trying to be logical, reasonable. I could�ve told him it was a lost
cause. There wasn�t anything logical or reasonable about me being pregnant.

�I have no way to determine where the fetus is located
inside Irvine�s body. Balamb Garden doesn�t have the proper imaging equipment.
Dr. Odine has invited us to ��

�Odine is an idiot,� Squall said firmly. �There is no way I
would let him loose on anyone I cared about. He�s a pervert, a nutcase, he� he
wears bows on his knees!�

�Fashion disaster or not,� Kadowski said dryly, �Dr. Odine
is the foremost authority on magical effects and we are certainly dealing with
something along those lines here.�

�Odine is our last
resort.� The Commander had spoken.

�So, what now?� I asked.

Kadowski sighed. �If this were a typical situation, the
first step is, �Do you want this baby?��

�I have a choice?� This was not a moral issue I ever expected
to have to deal with.

Squall growled deep in his throat. When we looked at him,
surprised, he bared his sharp teeth. �Are you talking about killing the baby?�

Kadowski crooked an eyebrow at him. �Are you the father?�

�Yes,� Squall said.

�Maybe,� I hedged, wincing a little.

�Zell,� Squall spat. It was an accusation.

Choosing not to answer, I asked plaintively, �What happened to
the contraceptive shots for SeeDs?�

Kadowski sighed. �The shots are good for six months, as you
know. But we don�t know really how long you all were in time compression, which
is why I was trying to get those of you who were sexually active down here for
boosters.� She shrugged. �Now that your whole physiology has changed, who knows
if the shots work at all?�

I grabbed my head. �Selphie!�

�Hyne,� Squall muttered. �Is there anyone you didn�t sleep
with?�

�Seifer,� I snarled back. �But I�ll fix that when I find
him!�

Too fast to see, Squall�s hand flew out and he slapped me. I
looked at him in shock and he looked at me in horror.

�Squall!� Kadowski had known Squall since he was little and
she knew when to come on all parental.

�Hyne, Irvine, I�� Squall looked like he was gonna cry for
on terrible moment.

I beat him to it.

Squall hunkered down beside me and awkwardly patted my
shoulder. �I�m so sorry,� he whispered.

I knew that, but I couldn�t stop crying. Probably hormones
or something. Wonderful, another thing to look forward to.

Kadowski made little hmm noises in the background, but
didn�t interfere. She was polishing her damn glasses again.

�Shh, Irvy, it�ll be okay��

I almost felt sorry for Squall; he�s so bad at sympathy.

�No, no it isn�t, I�m a freak, I�m gonna have kittens or
somethin�!� My voice rose up to a wail.

�Irvine, you are not going to have kittens.� Kadowski said firmly. Squall looked up at her while I
sobbed on. �It�s genetically impossible. You are going to have a baby� baby.�
She finished lamely. The lens popped out of her glasses.

I laughed, if a bit hysterically. Squall hugged me, looking
relieved.

�We�ll figure this out,� Squall said. �Rinoa is here, and
she knows a little something about magic, too. Her specialty is healing; maybe
she can cast a version of Scan or
something. If necessary, we�ll all go to Esther. That way I can keep an eye on
Odine.�

�I�d like to run some more tests on Zell, Quistis, and
Selphie,� Kadowski put in, handing me a box of tissues which I put to good use.

�Find out if Selphie is pregnant.� Squall stood up, holding
his hand out to me.

I clambered to my feet and carefully took his hand. �What
should I do?�

�Come with me and we�ll to do something about that backache.�

That brightened my mood right up. �You what�s really good-?�

�Yes,� Squall said, and dragged me back to my room.
