Hey everyone! I'm back with my first AU story! This idea has been bugging me for days now so I just had to write it! I hope you enjoy it!

Final Fantasy does not belong to me otherwise Aerith would still be alive.

Enjoy!

EDIT: 7/20/11

She couldn't believe it.

Aerith just couldn't believe it.

She slowly read the symbol on the test in her hands over, and over, and over again, watching it intently in hopes it would change but it didn't. Slowly backing up until her back met the cold surface of the bathroom wall, she closed her eyes tightly, hoping it wasn't true.

Positive.

She was pregnant.

Her heart accelerated to the point of bursting and she did her best to prevent her tears from escaping.

Should she be happy. . .or sad?

"Oh my god. . ." she whispered hugging herself from the chill of the early morning; she thought she was just being delusional when she had snuck out and bought the small box of tests, but she was never expecting this. Positive. Positive. . . .Positive. She frowned slightly and pushed herself off the wall, 'I must be crazy' she thought. As she moved to retrieve another test, but just as her fingers grasped the tip of the plastic her eyes unconsciously fell on the untouched box of pads.

She bit her lower lip and thought back, doing the math in her head and whispering numbers as she counted on her fingers. She gasped as the realization struck her; she was two weeks late! Her hand came to her mouth to stifle her gasp, she had been so caught up with training the new recruits she had completely forgotten about it! Aerith let her gaze fall onto the small white test in her hands and her shoulders shook. The door to bathroom rattled as the sound of knocking echoed about the quiet room, "Aerith, you okay in there?" her head shot up as the voice rang in her head. It was him. The father.

She mentally smacked herself.

'Of course he's the father! Who else would be?'

She cleared her suddenly dry throat, "Y-yeah, I-I'm fine!" She tried her best to sound her usual happy self but there was nothing she could do about the traitorous shake in her voice.

There was a pause before his reply came, ". . .ok. You know where to find me then." With that said she heard the soft padding of his boots fade and the click of the door. He left; she released a breath she didn't even know she was holding and sighed. Why was she so scared? Slowing reaching down to collect her skirt, she stepped into it and brought it up her legs, pulling the button through the hole, she looked at herself in the mirror.

Turning to look at herself from the side, she brushed her fingers protectively over her skin. There were no signs of it now but she knew in just a short matter of time she wouldn't be able to wear her bare midriff uniform anymore. Not like it mattered anyway but she knew it would raise questions.

'How am I going to tell the father?' She frowned 'Why do I keep referring to him as if he were my secret lover?' she asked herself a little irritably before staring hard at herself in the mirror.

Trudging outside she asked herself, whispering, ". . .How am I going to tell Cloud?"

So what did you guys think? Chapter 2 should be up pretty soon!
