"Introduction"

Sixteen year old Tifa Lockhart sat alone on a queen sized bed positioned neatly in the center of her bedroom, jittery, the young girl held a white pregnancy test in her hands. To her right was a small white and pink box reading the very straight forward title of 'E-Z Home Pregnancy test' written in bold italic white lettering running across the front of the box. The box had stated that the results for her test would take a solid 2 minutes.

With a stomach full of fluttering butterflies, the youngster walked over to an adjoining bathroom. The box had instructed to take the test first thing in the morning for best results. Tifa took the test, she washed her hands after placing the strip on the counter top next to the sink and nervously walked away from it. She had decided on waiting the two minutes though she was sure that the test was already working on the results.

She hoped, and prayed with all her heart that she was only over reacting. After all she had only had sex that one time and they had used protection! But Tifa knew having been a student in health class that condoms were not always effective…and that it only took one time to get pregnant. Tifa did have reasons to suspect that she was with child, the biggest clue being that she missed her period this month, even though she had felt it coming, lower back pain being a big symptom-alas- no monthly visitor.

But Tifa remembered having missed a few periods before. Of course that had only happened to her back when she was beginning her cycle, could she still miss them now? Yes! that was possible right? Tifa knew that some girls who did sports would often miss a few menstrual cycles, she practiced martial arts that might have been a factor! But then again,Tifa had been practicing for years.. and not once had she skipped.

One minute passed. The strip still on the washroom counter, she dare not look. She walked into her room and paced back and forth.

"Please don't let it be positive…god I can't take care of a baby. My dad would be so angry!" Tifa spoke aloud as she buried her face in her hands. Her father was a good and loving man, but he was very strict and had always preached that she save herself for marriage. Tifa then wondered what the rest of her family would think? Tifa had an aunt living in Mideel whom had a daughter; a cousin Tifa had never really gotten to know. All Tifa knew of this cousin was that she had gotten pregnant at fourteen, the baby had been given up for adoption against her wishes. Was this the fate that Tifa had in store for herself? God she was so scared.

Tifa crossed her arms over her chest, she was quivering and eyed the test laying on the counter. It was time for the moment of truth. She had to look…she just had too. Slowly she walked over, outstretching her hand she picked up the strip while shaking. She gasped. It was positive.

Tifa looked at herself in the mirror….she was pregnant.

Chapter 1

"Tifa's News"

Tifa walked into school her heart beat thudding rapidly and loudly, so loud that she could have sworn that other kids in the hall could hear it. She tugged on the hem of her blue school blazer that matched so well with her gray and navy plaid skirt; the school uniform- how long would she be able to wear it? With her condition she knew that it would not be long. She was already a month into her pregnancy, she had been with her boyfriend once a month and a half ago at his place, a month and no pot belly yet- course it was way too early to have one of those.

What was she going to tell her boyfriend? What would he say to her? Would he tell her to beat it? Would he live up to being a father at his age? She did not know, maybe she didn't want to know in all honesty. All Tifa knew was that she did not want to lose him...not again.

Taking in one deep breath, Tifa made her way to her boyfriends first hour class with only thirty minutes till the bell rang.

When she had arrived at her destination she noticed a small group of boys huddled in the center of the classroom a lot of them sitting on desks and chatting wildly,most likely about girls or cars and bikes since they were members of the Motor club. A motor enthusiast group based at their high school, her boyfriend was a member of it. Amongst the boys, she noticed a lean blond with his arms resting on a desk he was in a deep and heated conversation with another lean male class mate only the other with spiky black hair.

Tifa guessed that they were talking about either racing results of a match on TV or a race of their own, since Tifa's boyfriend would compete in 'side' races on a Fenrir he owned. He was a bit of a speed freak. The blond was not wearing his school blazer Tifa noticed his blazer was hanging over the back of his seat and that the sleeves of his under shirt were folded up to his elbows she knew that her boyfriend did not like wearing the blazer very much and it was stictly against school rules to walk around without it. This rejection of the school uniform and made Tifa blush,the look suited him well In fact the rolled up sleeves and loose tie around his neck drove her wild! Needless to say, his look did make him appear somewhat rebellious though she knew him better, he just enjoyed being comfortable. He was no bad boy-far from it honestly.

But she had to take her mind off of that, for now at least.

Tifa sighed and quietly began to step forwards to the group of boys, she twiddled her thumbs nervously thinking of what to say to the blond when the spiky black haired classmate the blond was talking too moved his head up making a motion towards Tifa, immediately the blond looked over his shoulder.

"Tifa!" he said excitedly a broad smile forming on his lips, the blond then got up from his seat prompting the spiky haired boy in his group to swoop in and take it from him. The group this blond was in knew that when Tifa showed up he'd most likely leave to go and talk with her.

"I'll see you later Zack" The blond said to the dark haired classmate as he grabbed his blazer.

"Alright Cloud see you in computer class then" Zack responded, Cloud then said his goodbyes to the rest of the group and walked over to Tifa.

"Hey" Cloud said to Tifa as he wrapped his arms around her frame hugging her tightly to his surprise Tifa did not respond to the hug as she normally did, it wasn't snug and longing-but weak and distant "Tifa, is something wrong?" Cloud asked her his eyes concerned. Tifa looked up at him for a split second, before she lowered her head to avoid his gaze. He knew her all too well.

"There is...but I can't tell you here." Tifa responded making Cloud feel all the more troubled "Can we go somewhere and talk...alone?" by the sound of her voice Cloud new it was something bad, really bad.

After taking a moment to process what she had said he nodded silently taking her by the hand, Cloud led Tifa out of the class room and took her to another one down the hall that was empty, once there Cloud closed the door behind them leaving the two completely secluded.

A minute or two passed before either spoke; it would be Cloud who broke the silence.

"Tifa,are you breaking up with me?" Cloud said silently his eyes drowned in sorrow, Tifa's eyes widened in surprise.

"Cloud that's n-" She began but was interrupted.

"I know your dad doesn't like me but does that matter? I know I don't live up to his standards because of where I live and how I dress and what I ride in." Cloud continued "But I care about you Tifa and if he can't accept that then that's his problem!"

"But Cloud that's no-"

"No Tifa your dad can't run your life like this it's just crazy!" Cloud was balling his fists "You are your own person and he can't keep telling you what to do and whom to date-"

"Cloud that is not it! I'm not breaking up with you!" Tifa forced herself to yell at Cloud, surprising him a little because she did not raise her voice at him very often.

"Oh…I'm sorry" Cloud brought his hand up to the back of his head the sleeve of his shirt grazing his ear "Then...what is it? You look so sad; you look kind of like you did the first time your dad told you to break up with me."

Did she? she must have looked pretty torn up to make Cloud ramble like that, Tifa's father did not like Cloud the couple of times that he had met him. Tifa's father had demanded her to end her year old relationship with Cloud several months ago, Tifa had not wanted to disobey her father and broke up with Cloud, ending the relationship for a short period of time.

Somehow with the help of Cloud's friend Zack, the two had gotten back together though since the reconciliation the pair had kept the relationship secret from her strict poppa. But now Tifa feared losing Cloud again, but this time she feared that he would be the one to leave her...

"Cloud..." she began but stopped making the silence in the room all the more unbearable, she stepped closer to him touching him on the shoulder gently "You told me once that...if something happened to me that... you would do what you could to help me...right?"

"Yes, why did someone say something bad to you again?" Cloud asked her. Tifa had been a victim of bullying because of their relationship as well last year, Cloud knew about it and was prepared to step in if it meant his involvement.

"No I'm just saying...like if...I should lose my legs in an accident what would you do?" Tifa said nervously, Cloud just smiled thinking that this was a silly question.

"Well, if you didn't have a wheelchair, I guess I'd have to carry you on my back" Cloud replied "You know I'm strong enough I could carry you for miles" Tifa blushed, he really was sweet. But the question was too simple, she had to test him again, with just one more question.

"Um...what if I had also lost my hands or arms...what would you do?" Tifa asked him, Cloud's eyebrows raised slightly at the baffling question, why would she ask him something like that?.

" I guess than I'd have to feed you and help do your homework then, I wouldn't leave you not when you needed me the most" Cloud responded. Tifa's heart filled up with hope, that was it! that was what she needed to hear! Now it was time to tell him. Oh please, let everything go alright, he could not just leave her after telling her that.

"What I'm going to tell you is something like that, you'll have to carry a person a lot, and...help them out when they can't reach for something." She added her voice cracking at that last part.

"Why are you gonna ask me to carry you all over school and make me do your homework to prove how much I care about you?" Cloud's expression changed to that of confusion, Tifa shook her head.

"No...It's just...remember a couple of weeks ago we were at your house and...your mom was at work and you and I were all alone in your room and we...you know" Tifa looked down nervously and Cloud's face suddenly turned red.

"When you and I...When we...slept together?" Cloud's face turned redder.

"Uh-huh" was all Tifa said as she herself began to blush "Well...something happened, it's life altering and I just don't know how to tell you"

"T-Tifa...what are you trying to say?"He asked. And then it hit him, His face paled, his eyes widened and his arms dropped to his sides at the realization "Are you?" Tifa nodded.

"I'm having your baby" Tifa finally said it, Cloud looked at her his blue eyes as still as a statue. Tifa waited for his response,a response that was taking to long for her to hear.

RIIING

The bell, the timing could not have been any worse.

"I-I've got to get to class" Cloud stammered "I-I'll see you" Cloud's tone was flat as if he were in a trance, before Tifa could say anything he was out of the classroom. Moments later she left the room herself-not even bothering to chase him.

Maybe all he needed was time to think about it?yeah she hoped that was it.

Tifa looked for him throughout the day, she would go to his usual spots between classes only to find out from his friends that he had already gone and during lunch he was nowhere in sight, she knew right away that he was avoiding her.

The last class of the day she shared with Cloud, she hoped that in this hour she would finally get a response, during the hour she would send him three notes all to which he did not respond too, during a moment in class Tifa had caught his eye, Cloud quickly broke the eye contact.

When the day had ended Tifa noticed Cloud springing up from his seat slinging his back pack over his shoulder, and rushing out without even glancing over at her. Tifa felt her body go numb, as she left the school her eyes were watering.

For some reason Cloud, not saying anything hurt far more than him saying anything.

So why did it hurt so much?

AN: So what do you guys think? I hope I did okay, so everyone who has read, please leave a review and dont worry Cloud is not going to abandon Tifa...he is just in shock.

Well then please review!
