DISCLAIMER: I do not own FF VII and its characters.

Story Summary:
A collection of short stories in which Aerith, Tifa and Yuffie are sisters. Sort of :)
There are no huge dramas really, no huge action scenes or anything. Just drabbles about daily things, good and bad times the three girls share as siblings.
The following chapters don't necessarily have to be in chronological order, the girs' ages will be displayed on top. But I recommend to read this one since it's the start of everything.
The whole story will be pretty much Yuffie-centered.

This chapter's summary: Godo Kisaragi, father of a child, finds another two family members.

It was a rainy, dark day in Sector 5, Midgar. Godo Kisaragi walked down the streets to the train station. It had become a ritual ever since his wife died a month ago. It tore his heart apart, she was everything he had always lived for, she was the reason he enjoyed getting up every morning. But she didn't go without leaving him a gift, a last gift that kept him going on, no matter how much the pain threatened to eat him up: his daughter.
Yuffie, she called her that since the day she knew she was pregnant. How women sometimes knew if it was a boy or a girl – some things he would never understand.

And now he was there, taking a walk with Yuffie in his arms. She was quite an active baby, always keeping him busy. And like many nights, she'd be most calm when he took a walk through the city. They would wander around in the cool night air, go to the station, watch some trains, go back, and get to sleep. But tonight was different. Godo knew it the moment he reached the train station and saw something unusual. Was that…?

"Oh my god." He ran up to what he thought he had seen despite the dim light. The moon was hardly visible in Midgar, but it had some street lamps that were bright enough to illuminate the shade of a person lying on the cold ground. When he was close enough, he could see that it was a woman.
"Hey, Miss, are you alright? Hey." He crouched down next to her but she didn't budge. He slowly brought up a shaky hand to hers.

Godo had worked for a Wutaian elite ninja troop in his early years. He had seen a lot of dead bodies. A lot of blood, cruelty and crime. But touching the ice cold skin of this slender woman made him flinch. Maybe he had changed in all these years, and after witnessing the death of a loved one, maybe it got to him more than when he was young and didn't fear anything. All life was already drained from the body.
It was weird. He couldn't point the finger on it but there was something mysterious about this woman. A strange but peaceful aura. An aura so strong that it made him think for a second that she was still alive. But he knew it was not possible. The ex-ninja brushed off the thought and stood up, shifting the baby in his arms. Something didn't feel right. Maybe it was the fact that he didn't want Yuffie to see anything like this. This girl should grow up in peace, have a normal future. That's what his wife had wished for her always. So he decided to walk back home and call the police.
It was then he heard something from a corner behind a street light. The ex-ninja looked up, squinting his eyes. When he noticed what made the noise, he sucked in a breath in surprise.

There in the dim light, two small girls, one of them not older than four years, the other maybe six or seven, were hiding clumsily. The source of the noise seemed to be the younger one as she kept sniffing. Godo walked up to them as carefully as he could so he would not startle them or scare them.

"Hi… What are you two doing here alone? Where are your parents?" He spoke ever so softly.

On that, the older one turned her gaze to the woman on the ground.

A sad smile crossed his lips. "Is she… your mother?" He turned to the girls again. The older girl with the light brown hair simply nodded. The man sighed. "I see. And… where is your daddy?"

"I don't have one." The older girl spoke for the first time. She had an incredibly soft voice, bringing a peaceful calmness into the horrible situation.

"Ok." Godo nodded. It wasn't unusual for these days that kids did not have a father. The Shinra regime sacrificed many people, especially men. "Hey, what's your name?"

"Aerith." The small figure answered, stepping up to the tall man, the younger girl's hand in hers, the fear seemingly gone already.

"And your sister?" He pointed to the shy kid with the ebony brown hair.

"She's not my sister. Mommy and I found her where we were hiding from the evil men. But she said her name was Tifa." She smiled down at the young child as lovingly as a real sister. "She doesn't have a mommy, or a daddy." Aerith lowered her gaze sadly.

Godo was taken aback by the fact that the girl was more talkative than he thought, and by the fact how caring she was at that age. She must have been raised up really well by this woman. And it made him sad that such loving children seemed to have gone through bad things.
"Evil men hey… poor girls." He muttered to himself and sighed deeply. He couldn't just leave them like this. They didn't have anyone.

"My Mommy went back to the planet." Aerith spoke up.

Godo frowned at this but it must have been something that the woman had told the girl before leaving. It was then Yuffie started to whimper in his arms.

"Is that your baby?" Aerith smiled and asked curiously. She had a beautiful smile.

Godo returned it and crouched down to be on eye level with the two girls. "Yes. Her name is Yuffie."

"Yuffie." She put her tiny hand to the baby's cheek, which made Yuffie chuckle contently. "Look Tifa, it's a baby. Her name's Yuffie."

The younger girl slowly lost her suspicion too as she too carefully brought a hand up and gently touched Yuffie's small fingers, giggling as the latter suddenly grabbed her.
"She's cute. She gwabbed my hand Aewith." Tifa laughed, looking up at the slightly taller girl.

"Yea she did." Aerith laughed along.

Godo didn't have any doubts anymore. He put his free hand on Aerith's head softly, making the girl look into his eyes. "Hey. Do you have a place to go to?" Earning a silent 'no' from her, he went on talking. "How about you come with me? Only if you want to. My place is very small and Yuffie might be noisy sometimes but I have warm beds and something to eat. How do you like that idea?"

Aerith put her hand to her chin and looked down, seemingly thinking. Godo stifled a laugh, children could be so cute when they were serious. "I think it's good. You're very nice. And Mommy said people who take care of babies are always good. Teef, what do you think?" She turned around to Tifa who looked up at her with big eyes.

"Ss okay. I like you too." She said to Godo innocently. The man smiled.

"Ok then. Let's go." He took Aerith's hand in his, who in turn took Tifa's in hers. Godo glanced down at the girl. "Aerith. About your Mommy, I will call somebody tonight to take care of her. Is that ok?"

"Yes. Mommy is with the planet now. She said I can't see her anymore." The child looked sad for a second but immediately smiled again genuinely. "But it's ok, I know she's doing good, uncle…um…" She looked up at the man uncertainly.

"Godo. My name is Godo. But if you want to, only if you want to, you can call me Daddy. Whenever you feel like it." He offered carefully.

"Awe you our daddy now?" Tifa looked thrilled.

The ex-ninja chuckled at that. "Yes. I'll be your daddy from now on."

End...well, more chapters follow.

Thank you for reading :)
