A/N: Well, I had this thought awhile ago and it was bugging me. So, I tried to write it. Tell me what you think please and if you have any ideas for the story feel free to send them to me! Please reiview!

Cloud and Tifa Strife waited patiently, holding each others hand, for the doctor. Tifa had just given birth to their first born only hours ago and the second their child was born they knew something was wrong; the child didn't cry. Cloud had done some reading on these things. He wanted to be prepared in-case something bad were to happen and it seems he was right in looking up as much as he could. He couldn't remember where he had read it but some book had told him about stillborns. He didn't think he could live with that thought; the thought that his first child was taken from him before it even got to breath. Cloud would never mention anything that he read about to Tifa. He didn't want to worry her when it might not be anything at all.

After another two hours of waiting the doctor finally came in. The news didn't look good. "Mr. and Mrs. Strife, I have great news and bad news, but first things first. You have a son. When your child didn't start crying we worried that he didn't know how or that he was stillborn. The great news is that he was breathing perfectly fine but was refusing to cry, which is very strange but I wouldn't worry about it. The bad news is that we think he might be blind. He hasn't opened his eyes."

Cloud went threw a range of emotions. First complete and utter joy, for he had a living and breathing baby boy. Then fear, his son didn't cry? And finally dread, his first born son was born without sight? He wouldn't be able to see anything? Granted he would rather his son be alive and not see then not alive at all, but still, living your life in complete darkness is not living life to it's fullest. Cloud shook those thoughts from his head. No matter what he would love this child.

"Would you two like to see him?" Both Cloud and Tifa nodded, anxious to see their son for the first time. "Bring him in."

The door opened and an old nurse carried in a blue bundle in her hands. She walked right up to Cloud. He started to panic slightly; worrying that he would drop him. Tifa gave his hand a reassuring squeeze before letting go. So, Cloud copied the position that the nurse had her arms in before he gently handed him his son. The baby boy didn't move at first and for a split second Cloud thought he died. Then, as if waking from some long sleep, the tiny baby yawned and stretched out its tiny limbs.

"Welcome." Was the only thing Cloud could think to say. Then a thought came to him. "Tifa can I name him?" He glanced over just in time to see her flash him a warm smile while nodding her approval. "How about Zack?" Without any warning the baby started crying. It wasn't loud but it still sent Cloud into a panic.

"I don't think he likes that name…" Tifa commented. So, Cloud tried something else, "Vincent?" He cried louder.

"Barret?" Louder. "Wedge." Louder. "Reno?" Louder. "Rude?" Louder still. This went on until there were only four names left that cloud could think of. "Angeal?" The child calmed down dramatically. Sure he was still crying but it didn't sound like he was being beaten to a pulp. "Genesis?" He clamed down even more. "Hojo?" The child started screaming at the top of its lungs. "SEPHIROTH?" Cloud had to shout over his own newborn. Instantly the little babe became quiet. Not a single tear was shed after that name. "You want to be called Sephiroth?" Cloud asked again, not really liking the fact that his own son would be named after his old arch nemesis. The baby, Sephiroth, didn't make a move.

"I guess Sephiroth it is then." Tifa piped up after a minute of silence.

"Well, Sephiroth, welcome to the world." Slowly, for the first time, little Sephiroth opened his eyes. They were spring green and had cat like pupils. Those eyes held the wisdom of a thousand years and if Cloud didn't know better he would have thought that this child was Sephiroth himself.
