Tricky

AN: I own nothing in this story. Dedicated to Mystic Spiritus once again. Please R&R.

Tifa Lockhart was at her wit's end. Why on Gaia did her husband have to be so simple? His birthday was in a day and she still hadn't found a gift for him. She had even asked for Rufus's help but the former president had no idea what would satisfy his red headed employee. So it was with a heavy heart that Tifa entered her house and went straight to bed. As she slept her mind whirled about what she could possibly tell Reno that she didn't have a present for him in the morning. But eventually her thoughts slowed and she fell asleep.

The next morning found Tifa snoring away until a particularly bright ray of light hit her pale face. Grumbling to herself, the pale skinned martial artist rose groggily out of bed and padded over to the bathroom, one hand scratching her butt disconcertingly. After taking her shower and attending to what little makeup she used, Tifa suddenly remembered that she still had nothing for her husband.

Reno was sitting at the table munching on some toast when Tifa came into the dining room. Her hair was in its usual straight style and she had chosen to wear a long sleeved black shirt along with some blue jeans.

"Hey babe, sorry I didn't wake you up."

"That's alright." Reno then noticed the worried expression his wife wore.

"Is something wrong Tifa? You seem nervous."

"No, no, it's nothing really. So what are your plans for today?"

"I just want to lounge around with you, is that all right?" Reno asked. Tifa nodded and she joined him for breakfast. After enjoying breakfast Reno and Tifa were cuddling together on the couch, his arms wrapped around her gently and her head lying on his chest.

"Re…I don't have a present for you."

"It's alright Tifa…" But Tifa cut him off by glaring at him.

"No it's not alright! If you weren't so damned simple I'd be able to buy you some power tools or something, you know regular guy things." Tifa buried her face angrily in his chest at this and started pounding on his chest a little. Reno chuckled at his wife's outburst until she raised her face and he saw tears streaming down her face.

"Tifa it's okay. You don't have to give me anything. And besides…" Here Reno gently placed his hands on Tifa's belly which had a decent sized bump. "We're having a child. What else could I want?" Here Tifa started bawling and buried her face in his chest again.

"That…was so adorable!" Tifa said in between sniffles and sobs. Reno rubbed her back softly and hugged her 3 month pregnant body to himself gently. Tifa then spotted a pair of his underwear lying out on the floor. Her mood shifted to anger then and she pushed Reno off the couch.

"Oof, Teef what was that for?"

"For you being a slobby jerk that can't even pick up his own underwear." Tifa then pointed to the discarded piece of clothing and glared at Reno.

"I'm sorry and- but Tifa cut him off with a finger to his lips.

"Sorry won't cut it this time mister. Now you are going to spend the entire day cleaning up the house got it?" Her eyes bored into his and Reno gulped.

"Whatever you say babe…"

After about two hours of cleaning Reno was suddenly hugged fiercely from behind by his wife. She turned his face to meet hers and Reno could clearly see the lust in her ruby colored eyes.

"How about I give you the best birthday spanking ever hmm?"

Reno could only nod as his wife picked him up bridal style and flung him onto their bed. Mood swings were scary things Reno thought to himself as his wife ripped all of his clothes off of him. He cringed when he saw her grab a rainbow colored thong and forced him into it. At least he didn't have to go out at three in the morning hunting for grilled Chocobo this time.
