Author's Note: And I now take my first tentative steps into the world of FFX fanfiction. Hahaha. But seriously.

Ok, this is basically based on the idea that it went a little far one night...


It had been three months. Three months since they had defeated Sin for good. Three months into the life that Yuna didn't think she would have.

It had also been three months since he'd left.

Tidus.

Yuna shook her head in an attempt to do the impossible, to get him out of her head.

That was definitely impossible.

Especially now.

It was a lovely day on Besaid. Only a few fluffy clouds floated across the soft blue sky. A warm breeze blew, and the ocean was calm.

The water from said ocean lapped at Yuna's feet as she sat at the edge of it. Thinking. She absentmindedly dug her toes into the wet sand. She just stared off into the horizon. She'd have to tell them. She'd put it off for so long... They'd figure it out soon enough if she didn't say anything, and she didn't want that. She wanted to tell them herself, to explain. But she choked on her words every time she even thought about it.

"Yunie!"

She snapped out of her thoughts and turned her head to see her Al Bhed cousin, Rikku.

She cocked her head and smiled, "Hey!"

Rikku walked over, and plopped herself down next to Yuna, "What'cha doin'?" she asked.

"Nothing really." Yuna replied, "Just thinking."

"You've been doing a lot of that lately." Rikku commented.

"Yes. I-" This is it, she thought, Just tell her.

She looked into her cousin's swirly green eyes, "Rikku, I-I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Rikku said.

The words threatened to clog her throat again, but she forced them free, "I-I'm pregnant." she said softly.

The Al Bhed took it better than she expected, "Ooh!" she squealed, "Really? Wait a minute..." the smile that had previously been on her face faded, "Is-is he the daddy?"

Yuna nodded.

"Ooh, so you guys..." Rikku began mischeviously.

"Yes. Just once. Before he..." she trailed off, but the look on Rikku's face caused her to begin again, hotly, "I thought I was going to die!" she said defensively, "You know how I feel about him! I thought I was never going to see him again, so I... I let it go too far one night." she stopped, but began again after a few seconds. "I didn't die." she said sadly, "But I'll still never see him again."

Rikku gave her a hug, "It's okay, Yunie. Now, you have a piece of him. He'll live through your baby."

Yuna looked down at her stomach, "I guess."

Rikku stood, dragging Yuna up by the arm, "Come on, let's go tell the others!"


Lulu and Wakka reacted more like Yuna expected. Wakka just stood there with his mouth open. Which was probably best, he wasn't good with words, anyway. But Lulu, as expected, did not stay quiet.

"You're what?"

Yuna folded her hands together and held them to her chest, then bowed her head in shame. Now she wished she hadn't said anything.

"Don't be mad!" Rikku cried in defence of her cousin.

Lulu sighed, "I'm not mad. Just... suprised."

Wakka finally found his voice, "Is it... his?"

Yuna nodded, "Yes." she answered.

Wakka folded his arms, and by the look on his face, he was thinking deeply. He spoke after a few seconds, "But, he wasn't really real, ya? Just a dream of the fayth. So how could he-"

"He was real!" Rikku interrupted, stomping her foot angrily.

"Yes, I agree." Lulu said, "Just because he was a dream, doesn't mean he wasn't real, Wakka."

Wakka looked around at them all, "Bah!" he said, throwing one hand up in the air before walking away.

Yuna kept her head hung, "I'm sorry." she said, "I shouldn't have said anything."

Lulu walked forward and hugged her, "No. It's alright, Yuna. We were just surprised." She held her at arm's length, "Don't worry about Wakka, just give him a few days, he'll get used to it."

Yuna nodded, "Yeah, I guess."
