Cloud was enjoying a day with his two year old twins Sora and Vanitas while sitting next to his husband Leon who was once again pregnant with twins. He put his hand on Leon's stomach remembering that munny's tight and he needs to be able to provide for his family. Later that day he went to his friend's house. Sephiroth offered a job working with him incase being a delivery man didn't work out. He knocked on the door and Sephiroth answered.
"Hello Cloud. Delivery sevice not workin' out?"
"I just need a better job you silver haired weirdo."
"Okay, just get in here so that I can tell you what your job is." Cloud walked inside the home and took a seat on the couch to wait for Sephiroth. When he came back, Sephiroth handed something to Cloud.
"What's this?" He asked fidling with what Sephiroth gave him.
"It's a brief case filed with spy stuff."
"Spy stuff? Why do you have spy stuff? I thought you run a custom tailer shop."
"I do, but that's just a side job to throw off certain people. I really work as a spy for this secret spy corporation called Organization XIII.
They pay really well. Like $2000 a week."
"Really?"
"Yea, you're perfect material for Organization XIII."
"Okay. I'll join."
"Good choice Cloud. You start on Monday. Be there by 9 A.M."
"Okay, thanks Sephiroth." Cloud couldn't wait to tell Leon that he found a better job. When he got home Sora and Vanitas were playing in the front yard with Leon watching them on the porch. He walked up to his husband and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey baby, how was Sephiroth's?" Leon asked.
"I got a new job."
"What is your new job?"
"As a spy." Cloud said eyes closed just knowing Leon was going to get the boys and go in the house, come back and scream at him on the porch, but none on that was happening. Instead Leon just sat there staring at him.
"Before you say anything the job pays well."
"No, I'm just shocked. I mean it's just..." Leon trailed off not knowing what to say.
"It's okay, take as much time as you need to react to it Leon." Cloud then went to grab the boys and went inside the house as they watched their mother stare at the night sky for three hours.
"Daddy?" Sora asked.
"Yeah Sora?"
"Why is Mommy just sitting out on the powch?"
"Because I told your mother something that has him stunned."
"Aren't cha gonna bring him in? It's stawting to cold outside wight?"
"Let's get our jackets on boys, and I'll get a blanket and jacket for your mother." They did as they were told. When they got on the porch Leon was stroking his stomach. He soon stopped as soon as Cloud put the jacket around Leon's shoulders and Sora and Vanitas got on the porch swing.
"What are you three doing?" Leon asked smiling.
"We thought you'd need the company Mommy." Sora answered.
"Company's well appreaciated you guys." They sat and watched the starts until the boys fell asleep meaning Cloud and Leon had to put them to bed. Leaving them to talk.
"Leon, please talk to me."
"A spy? Really?"
"It pays well."
"What if something happens and you have to leave us behind for God knows how long?"
"If that happens then I'll do whatever it takes to be with you guys again. Think about it, you're two months away from giving birth to the next pair of Strife twins. Don't you want to be able to pay the hospital bill on time rather than later?"
"I do, but I have a bad feeling about this."
"Trust me Le-Le." Leon winced at his nickname.
"Fine, but while you're working think about me, Sora, Vanitas, Roxas, and Ventus."
"Roxas and Ventus?"
"The next pair of Strife twins."
"You finally picked out names for them?"
"Do you love them?" Leon asked with pleading eyes.
"Yeah. They're good names." Cloud bent down to Leon's stomach "I'll see you both in two months. Me, Mommy and your brothers love you." Cloud cooed to Leon's stomach. They went up to bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Two months later...
Cloud was sitting with his sons in the hospital while Leon was in surgery.
"Daddy?" Vanitas asked.
"Yes Vani?"
"Is Mommy going to be okay?"
"He should be." Cloud then put both his sons on his lap. Then a doctor came out of the operating room.
"How is he?"
"He's fine, he's just sleeping. And so are all three of them."
"There were three babies?" The doctor just laughed and shook his head.
"No, I just did that for laughs and to see the expression on your face. Your sons are asleep as well. Would you like to see them?"
"No thanks, I want Leon to be the first person they lay their eyes on."
"As you wish." As the doctor walked away he turned to Sora and Vanitas who were very confused.
"Your mother's okay boys, and so are your baby brothers." The twins just looked at Cloud which actually warmed his heart. When Leon was stable they were allowed to go into his room. Cloud, expected the boys to go in running, but they did the opposite. Instead they entered the room quietly and got on the bed laying next to a fully awake Leon.
"Hi Leon. How you feeling?" Cloud asked.
"Okay I guess, did Roxas and Ventus make it out okay? Did you see them?"
"They made it out alright, and I wanted you to be the first person they saw." A nurse came in the room carrying Roxas and Ventus. Leon was handed Roxas and Cloud was handed Ventus. He looked at his son and made family a promise in his mind. "I promise that whenever I can't be there for you guys, I'll always be thinking of you."
One month later...
Cloud was getting his clothes on and trying not to wake anyone up at the same time, but he was wrong because Leon and the boys were awake.
"Where are you going Cloud?"
"I'm not gonna lie Leon. I'm leaving." Leon then started to tear up.
"You can't leave me one month after I give birth to your newest sons." He cried.
"I don't wanna leave, but I have to. I have a good reason."
"What is it?"
"A certain enemy of Organization XIII wants to kill one of the newest members. My boss gave me a choice, either leave you guys or drag you with me. I didn't want to do that to innocent people who didnt deserve this, so I went with the first choice. Sora, you're the oldest so therefore you have to help your mom out with your brothers, Vanitas don't give Sora a hard time. Leon," Cloud said turning to Leon "I'll always love you. When I'm gone I promise to never cheat on you."
"I promise too Cloud. I'll be faithful to you." He then looked to his youngest sons and gave them each a kiss on the forehead and held them one last time.
"Roxas, Ven, even though Daddy's going to be away for a while, it doesn't change how I feel about you guys. I love you, and when I come back, I promise never to abandon you again." He handed the boys back to Leon and kissed him for the last time, gave Sora and Vanitas a kiss on the forhead for the last time.
"Daddy?"
"Yeah Sora?"
"I'll wait by the doow so that I'm the fiwst pewson you see when you come home."
"Alright Sora, remember what I said?"
"I'm the oldest so I haf to help Mommy wif my bwothews."
"That's my boy."
"Dada!" A tiny voice squeaked, when Cloud turned around he saw that either Ven or Roxas just spoke their first word. One of them squeaked again and it was seen that Ven had said his first word which brought a tear to our spy's eye. Looking back one last time, he left obviously regretting his choice to abandon them.
Me: Okay, *sniff* we'll end things right here. This only the beginning of Abandoned, so chapter 2 will be up later. Riku, what did you think?
Riku: I like the plot to this. Riku approved!
Me: Cloud, Zack? Your thoughts.
Cloud: *crying becaue of the sad beginning* It's so sad I have to leave a month after my sons are born.
Zack: *crying for the same reason as Cloud* I feel the same way Cloud.
Me: Okay, if you liked then review or favorite. And I will be happy to answer any questions you have so if you have any questions regarding the origins of my stories, or anything you'd like to know about me, feel free to ask. As long as it has nothing to do with my home adress or where my school is. That's all for now. Bye :D
