I awoke to the feeling of being sick. I quickly got up from my bed and ran to the bathroom. I quickly kneeled before the toilet and vomited. I heard the sound of little footsteps and someone pull up my hair. When I was finished, I sat up and looked behind me to see a worried looking Denzel.
"Are you ok mommy?" he asked with worry; I smiled reassuringly
"Yes mommy's alright" I patted his brown hair.
"What are you doing up?" I asked,
I picked him up and walked to his room. I laid him in the bed next to Marlene's and put a wet wash cloth over his Geostigma on his forehead.
"Get some rest" I kissed his cheek and walked back into my room.
I dressed in my usual attire; I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror.
My skin was pale and my hair dull, I tried my best to be happy. Especially for Denzel's sake; his father or adoptive father, my husband wasn't around much. But I know he just needs some time. Aerith was like a sister to him.
I put a hand gently over my stomach; I was two weeks pregnant. Everyone knew…everyone but Cloud.
I shook my head…no I won't be sad, I have to be happy, strong for Denzel and the little one growing inside of me.
I left my room and headed downstairs, ready for the day's work. Tifa and Vincent were still sleeping so I decided to do some dishes. I washed some cups when the phone rang from my room. I quickly walked upstairs into my room, I answered the phone.
"Hello?" I asked in to the phone;
"Hey Kyo its Reno, remember me?" an annoying voice said from the other line.
"Yea I remember you" I smiled
"Is Cloud around?" he asked
"No…" I frowned slightly.
"Well when you see him tell him to come to Healin" the line went dead.
I hung up the phone hesitantly.
"Who was that?" a dark voice asked from the door way;
I jumped looking over. Vincent was leaning against the door frame;
"It was Reno" I said softly.
"What did he want?" his voice was dangerous
"He wanted Cloud…" I whispered, struggling with his name.
Vincent put a comforting hand on my shoulder;
"He'll be back" he reassured me.
I nodded, turning toward him with a grin
"I know that…he just needs time" I smiled.
Time. SOmetimes..that's a lot to ask for...
