The soft rays of dawn pierced through the window pane and alighted on the sleeping form of one Reno Lockhart. Beside him, Tifa stirred awake and her gaze turned to her husband. Watching him sleep, you wouldn't think that he was a former assassin. He was like a child when he slept, Tifa thought, a boy who had found himself lost in a world that neither loved nor cared for him. She had asked him time and again what his mother and father had been like, whether he had any siblings, what his last name was but each time he couldn't recall any of it. He said he had dreams of people he couldn't remember, blurred faces speaking in a dead language and then he'd wake up sweating and pale. Tifa had held him and calmed him down with soothing words and chaste kisses until he slept, just as he had done for her time and time again.
Tifa's thoughts of the past were halted when she saw Reno stir, his back arching in that peculiar way it always did when he woke. Yawning softly, his emerald eyes blazed to life, meeting her gaze.
"Teef, is it time to get up?" She stroked his right cheek, one finger tracing the red scars under his eyes and smiled at him.
"What do you want to do?" Tifa asked. His response was two lanky arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her close to his side.
"Just this…" Reno said, looking into her eyes once more. Neither spoke for several minutes, the two just enjoying the physical contact they were sharing. Tifa laid her head on his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat, the rhythm reverberating through her skin. Reno's face was in the crook of her neck, lips alighting on her ivory skin. Tifa sighed in pleasure, her exhaled breath tickling Reno's chest. Once her husband had stopped his kissing, Tifa removed herself from his embrace and sat up.
"Teef, is something wrong?" Reno questioned.
"No it's just…well I'm…pregnant." Tifa said, saying the last word so quietly Reno almost didn't catch it.
"Really?" Tifa nodded and Reno lifted her into the air. "That's great, I'm so happy!"
"I thought you would be upset." Tifa said once he had put her down.
"Why would you think that? Tifa I would love nothing more than to start a family with you." At this Tifa started crying and buried her face in his chest.
"Re….that's so….sweet!" Tifa said between sobs of joy.
"Well it seems like the mood swings are already starting." Reno joked while smirking a little. Tifa punched him on the arm lightly.
"You're not funny Reno." Tifa said, drying her eyes. His response was to start tickling her relentlessly. "Re…stop it right now!" Tifa said while laughter spilled from her lips.
"I may not be funny but I can always make you laugh babe." Reno remarked.
"Then why don't you make me smile as well?" Tifa said, pulling him down roughly and kissing him deep on the lips.
