"Lucrecia, will you marry me?" asked Vincent Valentine. He was kneeling, wearing his Turk uniform, and had a ring in his hand. She opened her mouth and closed it again. She hated being put on the spot. And that's what he did, with her friends there and his, a surprise party.
"Yes… Yes, I'll marry you." She said finally, with a smile as big as his on her face. Vincent put the ring on her left hand and embraced her, kissing her with all he had.
When Vincent let the kiss go, Lucrecia looked around at their friends. All were happy for the two… All save one. Hojo shook his head and had a disappointed look on his face. Lucrecia had thought he had a thing for her or something but now she knew he didn't.
Looking back at Vincent, she kissed him just as strongly.
Five years had passed since the two had married. Hojo never faced them again, meaning that he resenting them for their marriage. Vincent was no longer worker for the Turks. Instead, he was helping a fledgling group that called themselves the Chocobo Knights, a group working to make the area around Windsong village safe. Windsong was a hidden village near Gongoga in the forest by the river, a village rich with Mako and Mako fountains, and as a result, materia.
Until they formed, Vincent was doing most of the monster extermination himself. But now, he had more time to spend with his wife.
"Good morning dear husband. Have you heard? Lord and Lady Kiseragi have had a daughter."
"Really? We'll need to congradulate them next time we are in Wutai."
"About that, I have also heard that the tensions between Wutai and Shin-Ra are still growing. Shin-Ra is sure to be watching anyone coming and going. And…"
"I know. Shin-Ra doesn't know about Windsong, and I will keep it that way. They won't suck this land dry of life."
"That's why I love you. You never let anything you're protecting be harm, no matter how small it is."
"That the only reason?"
"No. But it is a reason. But I can't tell you all of them. The list is too long and we have plans for today. And I won't delay them."
Vincent wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her. He then picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.
The next month, Vincent was in the yard, practicing with a new weapon when Lucrecia called him.
"What can I help you with?" Vincent asked when he sat down next to her.
"Tell me you love me." Confused, Vincent did. "And you'll love me forever." He assured her that he'll love her longer than that. "And that you'll love our child just as much."
Vincent started to but then the full impact of what she said hit him. "You, you're pregnant?" She nodded, smiling. "Than that means…" "You'll be a father."
Vincent smiled, there was no way he couldn't, and told her so. "Of course I'll love our child!"
"Sorry, I couldn't think of a better way to tell you. I didn't mean to worry you."
"It's quite alright." Vincent assured her. "We need to think up names."
"Well, I have a few I think you will like. If it's a boy, maybe Sephiroth or maybe…"
