A/N I WILL GO THROUGH WITH THIS. I have it all planned out this time. Or most of it. And as I say: Haters keep hating. Also this is a Cloti as I believe in that and Zerith. OPINIONS PEOPLE. Anyways, hope you enjoy! Almost forgot to mention that it's told in Tifa's POV.


The Prologue

5 years since the terror of Meteor. The land is slowly turning back to its natural state. All 12 big Mako reactors were shut down due to the fall of ShinRa. And I'm still running a bar.

I don't live alone however. My now fiancée Cloud Strife, and two kids I look after with Cloud- Denzel and Marlene. From our apartment above the bar, Cloud runs his delivery service. It's good he's out and about, but alas, he may be gone for more than a day sometimes. No matter how long, he always comes back.

Chapter 1- Once is Enough

It was a quiet day at 7th Heaven. I got the regulars, prevented a total of 10 people from becoming drunk and got a new shipment of Corel Wine in. It was a basic day. Until I became sick. Throwing up isn't my cup of tea.

It was one of those nights where Cloud wouldn't be able to make it back in time. But I wanted him there. I wanted him to ask whats wrong, not Denzel trying to figure out why I was sitting on the bathroom floor, crying. I had to be sure. "If this doesn't go away in a couple days..." I couldn't finish the sentence for myself. I sent Denzel to bed saying it was just a cold.

Though I thought he was due back tomorrow, right after both kids are asleep, I hear the Fenrir, Clouds motorcycle. I rushed down the stairs to the door that leads to our apartment. Sure enough, there's Cloud, a smile on his face that soon turns to a kiss. Luckly I had washed my mouth out right after my little scene in the bathroom. Seeing how tired I looked, Cloud carried me up to the bedroom himself. He then left to go to the usual night bathroom crap.


Just a taste you could say. The actual full chapter 1 up when I'm able to write more.
