"Did you find them? Are they alright Rude tell me you found them Tifa asked expecting this phone call from Rude to be the one she desperately need to be good news. Cloud had been missing for two days and she was understandably worried. It was too eerily similar to what happened 8 months ago, what if the people who kidnapped him months ago found him again what if this time he couldn't get away.

"I'm sorry Reno and I have searched the route he would have taken home twice and there's no sign of Strife but I'll keep looking" he said as calmly as possible. "We'll keep searching we'll find them I promise".

"Ok call me the minute you find anything we have to find them Rude I can't lose him again." Tifa said tears running down her usually cheerful face. She knew that any other man they would have been jealous but Rude wasn't most men he understood what she meant by the comment therefore he wasn't jealous he was just as worried as he was and he didn't want to fail her, he new how important it was the find Strife and soon.

"It's ok Cloud just breathe. Come on just hold my hand and breathe. Help will be here soon" a familiar voice said holding his hand tightly. She was worried something wasn't right she wasn't sure what but she felt it something wasn't right with Cloud. "Please hurry"

"Hurts" he whimpered "I gotta" Cloud groaned in pain barely able to get the words out.

"Ok then I guess we got no choice, Zack will find help." She said kissing his forehead "Ready?"

"As I'll ever be, I wanted to do this in a hospital with lots and lots of drugs really good drugs!" he screamed as the pain intensified "it's too soon" he looked at Aeris who looked at him sympathetically.

"I know Cloud its ok just breathe and push. You can squeeze my hand if you need to, it won't hurt." she said watching him closely wanting Zack to hurry up and bring help the uneasy feeling was getting worse. She heard a voice but she couldn't make out the words clearly. As the hours ticked by the voice continued to repeat its garbled message but Aeris couldn't give it her undivided attention due to the fact that Cloud was starting to sweat profusely and the color had drained from his face. "Zack hurry" she whispered.

"YO! Hey you!" Zack yelled to a man crossing the road; the man looked up with a puzzled expression. "You are a hard man to find I need your help" he said in his usually calm tone.

"Zack?" the man said "Why? How'd you find me?" Cat like eyes narrowed in a serious expression.

"Not enough time Seph, Cloud's in trouble" Zack said turning his head toward the area he just came from as a chill went through him "we gotta hurry".

Sephiroth dropped the bundle of wood he had been carrying. "Take me to him". Zack nodded and they both took off, both hopping they weren't too late.

Inside the cabin it was quiet; Cloud lay quietly with his head on Aeris' lap. "You did great Cloud. Stay with me ok?" she said softly wanting to keep the man in her lap awake. "Just a while longer Zack is close just hang in there she looked away for a second at the sleeping little ones on the blanket near them, the little ones were just as quiet and pale as their father. "You hang in there too ok? Uncle Zack is close and he has help" she said rubbing the little ones soothingly.

"That sounds weird" Cloud whispered weakly "I'm happy they have a aunt & uncle to take care of them" he closed his eyes but quickly re-opened them when Aeris began to shake him and call his name startling both him and one of the sleeping newborns.

"Aeris? Do you ever blame me? I think Zack does. I wanted to…" he was unable to finish due to the fact he was shushed.

"I never blamed you Cloud, I told you that. If anything I'm grateful my mother was right I found my promised land and I got my wish to spend more time with Zack" she nodded and smiled "and he doesn't blame you either he's sorry he couldn't protect you" she finished brushing his hair back. "You're getting a second chance." she smiled knowingly as Cloud blinked in confusion. "You'll see, just rest Cloud you did well" she whisper kissing his head. "Rest now you're safe".

Another hour slipped by when the door of the cabin flew open, Sephiroth was instantly assaulted with the smell of blood fresh blood he quickly rushed to the familiar blond spikes "Cloud? Wake up Cloud!" he yelled gathering the man in his arms praying he wasn't too late. Apparently this started to two sleeping newborns causing them to cry. Sephiroth was started for a moment; as Sephiroth checked for a pulse Cloud squirmed a bit and mumbled something unintelligible. "So this is what he meant by Cloud being in trouble" he murmured aloud easing Cloud down and checking the babies to the left of him, four bright green eyes stared back at him. "it's ok I'm…I'm not going to hurt you" he said checking each of them they were weak just as Cloud was but no visible physical injuries. He quickly turned his attention to Cloud noticing that Clouds lips were a haunting shade blue. Upon further examination his suspicions were correct Cloud had given birth and lost a large amount of blood. "I knew you were special Cloud" he whispered and once again Cloud responded with an incoherent murmur and Sephiroth kissed his pale lips softly. Old dormant feelings rushed back, the protective feelings he had years ago when Cloud was just a new cadet, the feelings of love that filled his heart much like on the nights he would hold Cloud after their intense love making. Sephiroth stood up and looked around the room they couldn't stay here, Cloud and the little ones needed to be somewhere warm and safe. "Ok I'm going to get you three out of here ok? It's going to be ok, I'll take care of you and your father err mother? We'll sort that out later. Let's get going shall we?"
