Confusion (16 years later)

Sora was embarrassed he needed to talk to his dad about how he was feeling, but he was scared his father wouldn't understand. The young burnet had his father's spiky hair and his eyes. The teenage Sora was scared and shy because he needed advice. He was currently dating Kairi a girl he's knowing since childhood, well his parents were friends with hers and his other best friend since childhood Riku's too and that was where things had got complicated for Sora Strife.

Of late Sora had been having some very confusing feelings and it didn't help that his girlfriend Kairi was almost pressuring him into sleeping with her. He wanted to try it with her to see if his feelings would settle. He had feelings for both his friends and was confused mostly because his other best friend happened to be male. Thanks to his uncle Cid and his uncle Barret he had always thought it was wrong to love someone of the same gender what with them being very old fashioned. Yuffie his aunt had always told him to love who he wanted and that his parents would support him but that was where he was worried. There was no way his father the Ex-Solider, twice the hero of the planet would understand that his son was bi or maybe completely gay. After all his older adoptive siblings Marlene and Denzel had been straight. Marlene now expecting her first child much to Cloud and Barret's dismay and well Denzel he was actually going through adoption procedures as his wife couldn't have kids thanks to the Geostigma outbreak all those years ago.

So how was Sora supposed to ask his father advice he had thought about asking his mother but that was to embarrassing to even consider it. Thankfully he had one person he could turn too though they could never offer any help he just like his father found it useful to talk to his dad's friends that he had heard many stories about. He often would go to the church and sit in what he knew to be Aerith's flower bed and stare up at the sword he knew was his father's best friend's sword – Zack and he would just talk to them about his worries. Okay they weren't ever helpful but they always helped to get something off his chest was good to say it out loud was the main thing.

"Mum I'm home" Sora called as he returned from visiting the church after school.

"Hey Sora you hungry how was school" Tifa replied stepping into the hall from the kitchen

"Same old same old" Sora shrugged. Tifa smiled her usual smile before bringing up her next topic.

"Sora after dinner there is something that your father and I want to talk to you about" she paused then catching the look of pure fear cross his son's features before he returned to a poker face.

"Don't worry son you're not in any trouble there is just something we need to discuss that's all" Tifa giggled slightly.

"Okay is it all right then I'll go and start on my home work?" Sora asked slipping his feet out of his shoes.

"Sure oh and I forgot to say Kairi rang wondering if you wanted to do something this weekend" Tifa replied stepping aside to let her son passed.

Sora spent the next few hours in his room, his speaker dock blasting some random song as he tried to focus on his homework, but he was struggling he wanted to know what his parents were wanting to talk to him about and he kept glancing at the photo on his desk of him, Riku and Kairi. That was taking the very day that these confusing feelings started.

# Flashback#

It was the second week of the summer break from school before the trio of friends would return for their last year at school. It was towards the end of the week and the sun was shining brightly well of course it was. As a special treat that summer his father Cloud had a few deliveries to make to the popular beach resort Costa Del Sol and they still owned the villa out there so he took his family and allowed Sora to take his two best friends Riku and Kairi along for a week's holiday in the sun.

It was a week before the picture was taken that Kairi had asked Sora out and well he decided to accept he liked the girl so he didn't see why not. However that day in Costa Del Sol they spent it playing on the beach, swimming, building sand castles, burring Sora's dad in the sand when Cloud fell asleep, playing other beach games and having a go at surfing. As the sun began to set they decided to take a picture. Sora stood on Kairi's left his left hand in hers and his other arm behind his back and that's when he felt another hand there. Riku was on Kairi's other side and had both hands behind his back. One of his hands clasped onto Sora's and Sora's stilled but as the camera clicked he forced a smile.

# End of flashback #

Since that day where Riku caressed his hand he has had mixed feelings about his two best friends. He figured he loved them both but he didn't know who he loved more. He did know it was right to love Kairi and 'wrong' to love Riku according to his uncles. His thoughts though were interrupted there as he heard his mother yelling it that his dinner was ready.

At the dinner table small talk was exchanged but nothing had been mentioned about well whatever it was that would be discussed after wards. They all finished quickly and Sora got a scolding from his mother as he burped.

"What it's a compliant" Sora shrugged as his father tried to suppress a smirk.

"Sora would you go and wait in the living room your mother and I want to talk to you about something" Cloud told his son as they both stood. Sora nodded and made his way to the living room.

~ The kitchen ~

"Teef are you sure we should be going through all this again, you know how hard it was for you the first time and you where younger then" Cloud asked as he wrapped his arms around his wife for the last 16 years

"Yes I know the risks Cloud and yes we probably should of been more careful last time but I want this, it will be my last time" Tifa almost sobbed. Tifa had just found out she was pregnant again, she couldn't believe it but thinking back to the last few times they had slept together of late they hadn't been so careful with birth control. It had worried Cloud about Tifa being pregnant again, the first time she had been had been fine up until the birth its self. Cloud nor Tifa knew they were expecting twins until the birth. Two baby boys were born. One with brown hair and one with blonde sadly though the younger twin who they named Roxas and the spitting image of his father didn't make it – he had a heart defected and passed away a few months later after an ongoing terrible battle. To this day Sora didn't know he was actually a twin. But that wasn't what they wanted to talk to his son about they needed to tell him they had to go away for a little while – where to Wutai as there was a resort there a medical one that specialized in pregnancy in older women. Especially with the last time Tifa had gotten pregnant which was about 3 years after Sora was born, she was only 3 months in when she had a bleed out and lost her baby. Since then they had been careful but these last few months well they had been a bit less careful thinking they would all be okay now, obviously not.

~The living Room~

Sora could hear the muffled voices of his parents in the kitchen as he sat on the sofa waiting to hear what it was he was going to be told.

He resisted the 'urge' to put the TV on to occupy his self as he waited for his parents to enter. He didn't have to wait long as his parents entered the room a few minutes later.

"Now Sora your mother and I want to tell you something" Cloud began

"So shoot" Sora said wanting this whole thing over and done with.

"Okay Sora your father and I will be going to Wutai for a couple of days, you see we're going to a clinic there as well" Tifa stopped there unable to get the words out.

"Your mother is expecting a baby and after the last one and now with our ages we need to be careful, I know how it sounds son you must think we're gross, anyway we're leaving the day after tomorrow, don't worry we won't be gone to long and Marlene said she would come by and check on you from time to time" Cloud finished

"Okay, is it okay if I have Riku and Kairi over while you're away?" Sora asked he didn't really care that he may have a baby brother or sister soon even though the thought of his parents going at it was enough to make his skin crawl he had bigger problems to deal with. Hopefully this next week would help sort them out.
