Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Final Fantasy...though..I suppose I own Norma, Peter, Murray and Theodore, But I don't own Cid!...(as much as I wish I did)

Cid Highwind, that blonde haired, blue eyed, chain smoking, pilot who can't go more than three words without swearing and that we've all come to love.

At a first glance, Cid looks like nothing more than your average southern redneck, with a smoke in his mouth, a beer in his hand and a temper to match. But if you got to know the man properly, you'd see him as captain Highwind, Pilot of the Tiny Bronco, The Highwind, and the Shera, A well respected member of AVALANCE, and a mind so sophisticated you wouldn't believe it.

But there's a lot that we don't know about Cid, Mostly his past, which is where I come in, I am going to tell you about Cid's life, and how it shaped him to be the man he is today…It all started on February 22, 1975…

"It's a boy!" The nurses' yelled, delighted in the discovery of the new baby's gender. One of the nurses' handed the tiny baby to the mother. The mother, Norma Highwind, Took her baby; she looked into the bawling new baby's eyes. They were blue, just like his good for nothing father's.

"Blue huh…well...A bit disappointing...I'm gonna call you Cid...Cidney Louis Highwind"

Cid had been a one-night-stand baby; before Norma even knew she was pregnant his father had already gone.

Norma had already been married when Cid was conceived, but she managed to play off to her husband that Cid was his baby.

Said husband walked into the delivery room, with two other kids, a ten year old, Murray Highwind, and an eight year old, Theodore Highwind. Both Resembled Norma and her Husband, who was named Peter.

Murray had Green eyes, with red hair, Like Norma; And Theodore had Light brown hair like his father, but still the piercing green eyes.

He turned to his other two kids.

"Now Murray, Theo, we have to be quiet, Understand?" Peter asked. The older boys nodded and peered over and their new brother.

Cid had stopped crying by now, and was staring at the three strangers who had walked into the room, his blue eyes shining in curiosity. Murray spoke up when he saw Cid's eyes.

"Hey, he has blue eyes, where'd he get those from, Mother and Pa have green and brown eyes" Thank god Norma knew how to lie.

"They are a gene from your great grandmother's" she explained. "Sometimes genes can skip a few generations"

Murray and Theodore nodded, Peter, who had been about to ask the same question, nodded too.

Cid, after looking around with his curious gaze once more, finally fell asleep.

A few days later, Cid was bought home for the first time, after being washed in the hospital, it became clear that he had blonde hair, Norma thought she was done for then, but thankfully, she had remembered that Murray had blonde hair as a baby, and it turned red with time.

Walking into Cid's new room was like replaying the same old movie; Peter had done this twice, so this time didn't feel it was as special. He placed Cid in his crib, which once upon a time had been Murray's.

Cid looked up at his "father" and yawned, soon falling asleep.

Peter turned on a radio lightly, so he would get used to background noise and wouldn't be woken easily and walked out.

The moment Peter left Murray and Theodore where at the door, glaring at the new baby, that wether their parents liked him or not, they would have to look after him, meaning no afterschool sports, no getting lifts to the pool, and defiantly no trips to the theme park they lived near anytime soon.

Murray looked at Theodore.

"What do you reckon Theo, do we give baby blue eyes something to cry about?" Murray questioned his younger sibling.

Theodore looked up at him and smirked ."Let's go make plans"

Murray smiled evilly, and led him back to their shared room.

A/N: Haha, Ok, this was my first attempt..Don't eat me *hides*..so, Please leave any tips or ideas you think can make it better.
