Disclaimer: I own none of this!
Author's Note: Hi! Welcome to my 2nd story, and my 1st on Zack Fair! I'm going to kinda mix this up a bit, since the ending of CC was completely heartbreaking! This will occur during the Story of C.C., but the first Chapter will occur shortly before then. I hope you like this, and please R/R!
Author's Request of Her Readers: I know this may sound a bit crazy, but....Do any of you readers know what the character from "Before Crisis: Final Fantasy 7", "Chelsea", looks like? I've looked bloody everywhere, and I cannot find a thing on her! Please, I'll credit you if you can tell me what she looks like, or knows where to find a picture of her at. I know she was Rude's Girlfriend for a bit, but left soon after. I think she was also one of the few members of AVALANCHE that lived in the episodes.
Summary Of The Story: A past unraveled, a Child discovered. When Zack meets a new SOLDIER girl, she beats him at his little game of Squats. After spending time with her, he learns a secret that could shock the entire SOLDIER army!
Plot Notes: First chapter is written before CC, and 99 percent is written during Crisis Core. The last chapter is written after CC's ending. I will mix, and change a few things around, so please don't flame me, or gripe at me, please?

Chapter One: "The Daughter That I Didn't Even Know Existed."
----
??????:
"To my Love,
By the time you get this, I'm already gone. I've been trying for years to find you, but, it is as if you have vanished. But, I hope somehow, this gets to you. I must tell you that, 17 years ago, you, and I were together, madly in love. When you were called away into duty, I was heartbroken, and pregnant. I had a baby--your baby, a girl, a beautiful, loving little girl. Her name is Raianna, and she's so beautiful. She has your hair, your nose, and your loving heart. As my last, and final request, please, take care of her. She's only a child, even though she swears she is an adult, she needs her Father to care for her. Please, she's not mean, or rebellious, but quiet. She's hurting over my death, but eventually, she'll open up her heart to you, and I know that, you'll love her no matter what.
~Forever and Always, Lillian.

I shed a tear, as the young woman infront of my door sighed sadly, and dabbed at her light, emerald green eyes. She looked alot like her Mother, but she did have my hair, and my stubborn chin, that was for sure.
"Ms...Raianna? Please, come in, don't feel shy."
She nodded, and dragged her heavy suitcase, probably packed with everything she had to her name. She pushed it against a wall, and sat down on the couch, as she looked around.
"This is...my new....home?"
"Yes, that's if, you're willing to stay here. I'll make you a bed to sleep on, and tomorrow, we'll talk. I know you're exhausted, and I understand if you do not wanna talk right now, my child."
"Thank you, Father...."
She said, as she smiled gently. I took a blanket from my closet, and draped it over the young girl, who had already fallen asleep on the couch. I tucked a long strand of hair away from her face, as I turned out the light, and went to bed, with a tear falling off my cheek. I had no idea that Lillian was dead, and I had a child...a beautiful little girl...this was a whole new world...and I was prepared to tackle it head-on....
