Yuffie clutched nervously to the still sleeping child in her arms. According to her PHS it was only 5:00 in the morning. She must have looked ridiculous to early birds, walking up to the front of 'Seventh Heaven' then walking away, before walking back.
She sighed angrily to herself. How difficult was this? It was harder than she previously imagined. Hoisting Emi in her arms, she raised her fist, ready to knock, then chickened out and lowered it. She turned to walk back to the Church before the door swung open.
She turned around quickly, seeing Cloud at the doorway holding a bag of letters and packages. Looks like he was still a delivery boy. He looked the same as well, just a bit older. His eyebrows scrunched together, not really believing that she was there on the steps of his wife's bar.
She bit her lip, and hoisted her daughter up once again. "Hey Cloud." She spoke. His brows shot up. He looked at the girl and then at the woman.
"Yuffie?" He asked. She nodded, and turned her head slightly.
"Uh, yeah, I just came to say hi, so, hi." She turned around but a gloved hand grabbed her upper arm. Cloud turned her to face him. She noticed in relief that he didn't look angry.
"You're staying." He pulled her inside then brought her up the stairs. She eyed the extra bed longingly. Sleeping on floors for the past few days could do that. Yuffie carefully tucked Emi in, kissing her on the cheek. "I love you." She whispered.
She turned to Cloud and he saw the exhaustion in her eyes. He sighed and rubbed his hand over his eyes. "Sleep now. I'll take the day off and tell Tifa." He looked over at the little blonde girl then back at the female that he thought of as a little sister. "You've got a lot of explaining to do Yuffie."
She grinned lazily. "I know Chocobo butt." Her grin faded and she looked down. "I'm sorry for leaving you guys... How is Zack?"
He scratched the back of his head. "He's good. Just celebrated his 6th birthday last month. Denzel and Marlene are doing good too." She smiled.
"What's her name?"
"Emiko. Emi for short." He nodded and crossed his arms. "Where's her father?" She closed her eyes and took a breath.
"He died. I thought we were going to talk about this later."
Cloud's arms dropped to his sides. "Fine." He looked at the window. "Just don't leave." Yuffie hugged him then crawled under the covers and pulled Emi close to her. Ah, a bed felt so great!
Cloud closed the door, checked on the children, and went to inform his wife about the news of Yuffie's return.
