I will not make excuses for this. I read a fic with Cloud as a female named Nibel and I thought "That's a pretty name, But what if instead of (insert that story's plot), Cloud was sent back in time and was born with his Mako enhancements as a female, and his past self's twin sister?" Thus this was born. I can't think or sleep without this playing in my head, so I finally caved and wrote this. For all intents and purposes, everything will be different in Nibelheim, because TT/Cloud fucked it up. So without further ado, let's get into the first Chapter!

Warnings: I have nothing to say except, just cause Future Cloud is a baby at one point, his mind still functions like his adult self, and poor baby, Cloud just can't get a break can he?

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine. But if Square Enix wants to give me the Final Fantasy series I won't complain. (It's not going to happen.)

Edit 10/17/18: So the plot baby that I was running with did an unexpected turn and flipped my head inside out so there is a change. Cloud did go back into the past, and Rain is from the future, but the plot baby went crazy so Cloud and Rain are now two separate people who are more or less owned by the bad luck Gods. It will get confusing, but its okay, only I will truly get confused.

RAIN STRIFE VALENTINE

Cloud could list three things that he hated about himself the most, all of them are why he is now heading back in time to the point he was born (Really Aerith? You just wanted to see me as a baby didn't you?) to stop the planets death. The three things? He can't say no to Aerith, the planet basically sobbed on him until he relented (I know what your thinking, "Sobbed?" Well as much as she could. Gaia made it rain over me and me alone for a whole month 24/7 inside buildings and outside buildings, so yes she sobbed.), and when the gang found out about the mission back through time they politely told him (see: beat me and threatened my life) that he was being silly and peace and not having to suffer the end of the world made up for them never meeting each other again (Because apparently the family we created means absolutely nothing to anyone but me).

The only good thing? Aerith dragged their asses back with him. The bad thing. Well...

"Congratulations Mrs. Strife. You're now the slut mother of a baby boy and girl," the doctor said.

He had a sister.

"Give me my daughter and fuck off," his mother said, and then another small body was in her arms.

He had a sister. A baby sister with eyes bright with mako and wise with age. She couldn't possibly be dangerous to him or his mother or be an enemy if she was born his sister.

Cloud Strife knew then that this life was going to be better than the last life. Nothing would go terribly wrong!

He really needed to stop jinxing everything.

RAIN STRIFE VALENTINE

At two months old, Rain (her mother got the family naming genes because apparently the naming was passed down generation to generation) Strife could take her surrounding into consideration, her senses were enhanced and everything seemed so light. At four months, Rain finally saw her full self in the mirror, only to see the mako glow bright and steady in her eyes.

So, Rain has an older twin brother named Cloud, whose eyes were dulled by countless battles and wars, age and exhaustion clear in his eyes. Bright side? She had mako enhancements, and her adult mind, but she was growing and developing just like a normal child would, and her brother was also from the future. No need to bring attention to the mako enhanced baby girl growing normally and the baby boy wiser beyond his age, even if Skye Strife never went near mako her entire life before birthing her two children.

Take a moment and think that last bit though...

Have you seen the problem?

Yes? Good. No? Rethink it again.

Got it now? Great.

So why did she think everything would be okay?

And that is how Rain Strife found herself whisked away by a fucking Turk in the middle of the night on her first birthday, only to drag her away into the depths of the Shinra Manor. And who was waiting for the little Rain in the labs?

Hojo...

She really needs to stop jinxing everything. Maybe if she cries enough Vincent (hoping he's actually here) will hear her and come to save her...

That's probably never going to happen...

Vincent did sleep through the entire time Hojo kept Sephiroth locked away in the Shinra Manor Labs, and according to records that was five years before he moved to Shinra HQ, or its beginnings, and continued everything there.

So maybe something went wrong and she was born while Sephiroth was still in the Manor?

"Truly this brat can't be the reason you had me flown out here as fast as possible?" Oh... Nope... Sounds like Sephy isn't here anymore. (SEPHY? DID I REALLY JUST THINK THAT?)

"Professor Hojo," Stated the unknown Turk. "The girl has shown Mako enhancements and intelligence, even as a one-year-old. I have watched her," (Fucking Stalker) "And I can conclude that she is born with mako and I thought you might want to have a look at her."

(Should I start crying and hope beyond hope that Vincent actually hears and comes to investigate?)

"She does have mako in her." (Nope. I'm not letting that bastard touch me.) "Put her in a stasis container. I will arrange a place for her back at Shinra. Until then, we leave her."

"Yes, sir."

And before the cry's can even start, Rain Strife is staring at a glass ceiling, slowly falling asleep.

(Yeah... I need a break...)

RAIN STRIFE VALENTINE

This is a third person P.O.V, and to clarify before the questions start, Yes. I broke the fourth wall, focused mainly on a Cloud and Rain 3rd person P.O.V, and everything in parentheses are Cloud and Rain's Thoughts on what is happening around them. They are like private thoughts.

The line breaks are the three words I just said out loud that caused me to look out my door to make sure everyone is still asleep in the house. They might have a purpose, they might not.

Thanks for reading! And anyone reading Family Matters expects an update by Saturday. I need to rewrite the next chapter cause it was deleted when my laptop died and I had to get a new computer. Then life happened quickly. I will try to update as much as I can but I make no promises for a schedule. Sorry!
