Vincents POV

Our precious child Not meant for this world taken from us far to soon

Empty arms reaching air How is this fair?

I'll hold you close to my heart We are never far apart

I admit I was afraid Becoming a father had been only a dream

but never would I have wanted this God, I prayed for this nightmare

would end.

I don't own any of the characters only the story

I, Vincent Valentine, have been married to Yuffie Kisaragi for the past four years,and I'm a father-to-be. The words were strong in my mind as I placed a hand on her stomach that had begun to protrude. I was indeed a happy man. Everything was falling into place, like two jigsaw puzzle pieces. Yuffie and I heard our babies tiny heartbeat, a perfect baby we created. Finding out that we were having a little girl, I knew was a precious 'Angel'. We felt on the top of the world, then a tragic thing accord. A true living nightmare, one you can never wake up from.

Yuffie was five months along, when the unthinkable happened, I woke to my wife's whimpering cries coming from our bathroom. quickly Sliding from under the warm covers to see what was matter. As I a proach the huddled form of my the wife, she looked to frail. I then realized she was doubled overrun inflicted with pain. It was clearly written all over her pale face. I could tell she was having contractions. I wanted to scream to the gods to not take our baby. We needed our precious baby here with us. But I think I knew what was to come.

"It hurts, Vincent!" Rushing to her side, gentlely picking her up bridal style. Being careful not to hurt her with my Madel claw.

"Sssshhhhhh," I didn't know what else to say. I was terrified. I could deal with Chaos, hell even Sephiroth but this was to much. I knew I needed to be strong but this was heartrending. This was something I had no control. It was the unthinkable. God, I was praying to please let us keep our little girl.

Running down the long staircase,rushing out the front door.Making my way to the car. Putting Yuffie in the front passenger seat, I then dashed around to the drivers side I get in. Driving like a bat-out-of-hell. I wanted to save my family. Fearing for both of them. Yuffie and I had tried to get pregnant for three years. And know this was happening. Why couldn't we just be happy? Was this to much to ask? Haven't Yuffie and I suffered enough heartache? I just was hoping with all I had that it wasn't to late?

Looking over to Yuffie, she was gripping the seat with each passing contraction. I was fearing the worst. Felt like a life time trying to rush to the hospital. Not bothering with a parking place, I pull up to the front entrance of the hospital. Helping Yuffie out of the car. Once again I carried her. Shouting to the hospital staff.

"Need HELP! My wife is in labor. She is having a miscarriage" Several nurses rushed to us, doing their jobs. I pray we're not to late! We have waited so long for this child. Showing us to a room where I placed Yuffie on a bed. A doctor quickly came to excess what needed be done. Barking commands to everyone in the room.

I wanted to take Yuffie's pain away. I wanted to protect her from this heartache.

They asked me to step out, so to exam the baby and her. Deciding this would be a good time to call our friends. I knew we would be here for awhile.

Deciding this would be a good time to call our friends.

Ring "Hello" Came a raspy voice

"Tifa, It's Vincent"

"Whats wrong? You sound worried, Vincent" Tifa was wide a wake hearing distress in Vincents voice. Cloud woke to Tifa frightened raise tone. He knew that there must be about Yuffie.

"Yuffie has gone into preterm labor" Vincent ran a nervous hand through his long black locks while trying to remain calm "The doctor is with her right now, Tifa...I'm worried for her and of course our daughter" I knew Tifa had picked up that I wasn't trying to hide my emotions. Which meant this was serious

"Oh! My Gawd! We'll be there as soon as possible. Try not to worry, Vincent" Tifa held the phone slipping cloths on. Cloud was already up, dressed and grasped the bike keys, waiting on Tifa to hop off the phone.

"Can you please call everyone else, Tifa? I'd like to get back to her now" Vincent wanted to get back to Yuffie.

"Sure no problem. Let Yuffie know we will be there about twenty minutes" We really have good friends. They were like family. A little weird but family.

"Thanks Tifa. See you all soon" Vincent hoped off the PHS, sticking it back in hid back pocket. Making his way back to Yuffie was.

Scared sh--less thinking of our dreams disappearing before our very eyes and know way to stop the enviable happening. As I approach the room, the doctor exits the room. Meeting me in the hall. I can see in the doctors eyes, she was losing the baby.

"Mr. Valentine, my name is Dr.Sayo.. I am sorry to have inform you that your wife is indeed in preterm labor. We preformed a ultrasound...We weren't able to find a heartbeat on the baby...We have given your wife pain medication to dulling her pain some and to help speed up the birthing process...I'm really sorry for your loss...This is the worse part of my job..All you can do be there for her... Your wife has not been informed that the baby is already passed on..I will leave that to you...My nurse will be by shorty to go over everything...Well..I have to make my rounds...I'll be back to check on your wife in about two hours...my nurse will page me if need be" With that the doctor walked down the hall turning the corner.

Stepping in the room. Yuffie is laying in the hospital bed, starring at the white stale wall. She looks like a lost child. I want to scream to who ever will listen,'Tell me why? Why us? Don't we deserve to be happy?'my child was already gone I still had yet to tell her..I knew that this could destroy her and I wouldn't be able to fix this...It was my job to protect her but I feel I've failed.

Walking over to her frail body, sliding into bed with her. I wrap my shaky arms pulling Yuffie into chest. I shouldn't be here, hell she shouldn't be here. We already had the nursery set up. Done in soft pale pink, white lace curtains, cloths hanging in the closet, everything needed was there.

"Yuffie...I need to tell you something, please listen" She doesn't say a word but I can tell that I've got her attention.
"Dr. Sayo told me...while doing the ultrasound...there was no longer a heartbeat...Yuffie our baby girl has passed on..." She started to shack her head, fitting him in the chest before breaking into his arms. All he knew was to let her vent this out.

"No! No! Nooooooooo! Your lieing! Please tell me your lieing...NO! wake me up from this nightmare...Wake me up...this..isn't happening No!" Yuffie broke out into a high pitch heart-stopping scream. My heart was breaking, a husband shouldn't have to deliver news like this.

To the world I looked cold on the outside but I was screaming on the inside. I wonder what you will look like, how I won't get to hear you take your first breath. There is so much I don't know, and yet I already know that I love you with all my heart.

I tilt my head to lay my check a top her head. Silent tears stream down from my eyes. Didn't know I could cry. rocking Yuffie while she said not a word. I knew she was dieing on the inside. Even the sky wanted to cry for this precious child, who was never meant for this world. Yes in the beginning I was afraid but I already love you and I would never run away.

Yuffie had started to calm down. Hearing a sound I look up to see Tifa standing at the door, It seemed she was at a lose of what to do. Yuffie seems not to notice Tifa. I motion Tifa over.

"Everyone is out in the waiting room. If you like to step out for a minute to Let them know whats going on. I can sit with Yuffie" Tifa was trying to put a brave face on. Nodding, I carefully raise from the bed, letting Yuffie's head sink into the fluffy pillow.

Stepping into the waiting room everything and everyone went quite. I could see they wanted me to say the first word. Signing.

"Yuffie has went into labor,... they did a ultrasound and found.. that our baby had already died...And Thank you all coming it means alot..." Tears were spilling and really didn't care who saw. My world was taking a nose-dive. I had just lost a angel and I was worried I would lose my other Angel. Yuffie and this child were my whole world. I was breaking

Cid stood up, walking over to me. He hesitated before speaking," Vincent,...Just let me say this, okay... I know how your feeling" Cid shifted from left to right before continuing " Shera and I never never told an-tone but 5 years ago. My wife lost our baby at fourteen weeks. I promise you move on but won't forget. Even know I think of what would have been. What he or she would be doing."

Everyone was dumbstruck of what Cid had just said "WHAT!" Cid was feeling hot under the collar. "He, Can't a old man seriously say something without the consequences of y'all making him feel awkward." grumbled Cid

Shera sympathetically spoke up, "I can say for all of us that we're really sorry for your lose. We're here if Yuffie or you need anything"

"Thank you, Shera. I'll remember that" At the slit second a nurse came over to me.

"Mr. Valentine, your wife is asking for you, She's ready to push." I long steps quickly taking my place. Holding Yuffie's hand wishing I would wake up and everything would be right with the world.

"Okay, Mrs. Valentine I need you to push" Dr, Sayo knew this was a hard time for parents. To see their dreams die before their eyes.

"Your doing good Yuffie, I love you" I was terrified even when I was holding the look of a dead man.

"Only one more push, Mrs. Valentine. All most over"

"I can't! I to tired. I can't do this" Sweat was sweeping across her forehead. The end was near.

"Yes! you can. Yuffie you are strong. Just one more push" Yuffie gaze shot to me. Such sorrow, saddens, and love in those tear-stained lavender grey eyes.

Okay! Push please! Almost there" At four fifteen am our daughter, Silver Angel Valentine, came into this world still-born. No small cries were to be heard. The nurse took her away to clean her up. Returning with our pink bundle, I was first to hold her. Only weighting 1 pound, so small, but so perfect. Dams of tears rushed, I didn't even try to wipe them away. I had so much I wanted to say to my beautiful daughter.

"Hello my precious angel! I'm your father.. I am sorry I couldn't protect you. I admit I was afraid at first when your mother told me she was pregnant. I love you my precious angel... Oh! Gawd!.. I want you here to stay... Your mommy and I need you here. What went wrong?... I'll never here you cry, never see your first step, your first word, never saying daddy, your first of everything. I'll never give you away on your wedding day. So much I will never see. So much you'll never do...It's not fair...Rest gentle now'sweet angel' there is no more pain, I know precious your with heavens angels. ...I promise to see you someday...only now is not my time...I will miss you" I gently kissed her forehead, drinking in this memory. I carefully sat Silver into her mothers empty arms. Letting Yuffie say her good-byes.
