A/N: I have inflicted the dreaded semi-sex change in so many different ways. I wanted to think of something new. In my insomniac haze, I remembered Cloud holding the Materia over Reno's stomach. It seemed so neat and compact. Sex change in one little shiny ball. It also gives me a reason to tie Reno up. Can't pass that up. I was going to cut off this chapter after Reno's transformation. But I like living, so this chapter is a little longer than usual.

How bad can it really get?
Reno swore, the next time he left that question up to the Lifestream, he would shoot himself in the head. He should have known something was fishy, when Cloud didn't inappropriately touch him once through the whole reception.
The couple hadn't stayed long before they were whisked away by Rufus's chauffeured limousine to their Honeymoon in Costa Del Sol.
Reno was only able to have one shot of tequila. If he knew what was going to happen to him, he would have guzzled the whole bottle down and then hit Cloud over the head with it. It wouldn't have actually hurt Cloud, but it would have made Reno feel a whole lot better.
The airship ride to Costa Del Sol only took a half-an-hour, but Reno was exhausted from the day's events.
While Cloud gazed out the window to the night sky, Reno pondered over everything that happened since he had cockily left work that morning. He was such an idiot. He completely expected the Lone Wolf to relent and skulk away, with his tails between his legs, purely on Reno's whiny demands.
Reno grimaced, while his head lolled on Cloud's shoulder. He deserved what he got for walking into the Wolf's territory, open and unprotected. He had even left his beloved EMR back at Turk Headquarters. He had been so sure Cloud would relent.
Instead, Reno had lost his anal virginity and gotten hitched to a maniac.
Speaking of maniac, Reno felt Cloud caress his arm, lazily, in an up-and-down motion. "Um, Cloud?"
"Yeah?"
"I know this is our weddin' night and all, but this Turk's dead on his feet. Ya kinda already popped the cherry anyway. Can we sorta sit this one out tonight. Ain't makin' it regular-like. Just tonight. Need to recharge, yo."
"Sure. Fine with me."
Reno squinted, and straightened up, so he could look his husband right in the eye.
Cloud's face was as blank as always. Never giving anything away. Not that there was anything to give away.
Cloud's mind was usually blank as well.
If it wasn't about killing living things or fucking Reno, Cloud was essentially on automatic, until the next time came around to kill things or fuck Reno.
"Ya sure, Husband? Even this Turk knows, weddin' night's sorta special, yo."
Cloud smiled and brushed his hand against Reno's cheek. "It's okay, Reno. It's like you said. It was only your first time with a man this afternoon. I know you're tired. We can consummate the marriage tomorrow. We're married. We have all the time on the Planet now. Besides, you're going to need your rest anyway. Remember what I said about the Mako and us making love."
Reno's eyes fluttered shut with the caress. Ah fuck! Cloud was turnin' him into a friggin' mush. His gaze moved away and he sat back on his seat away from Cloud. Yeah, he remembered.
Cloud had said ten times a day, at least.
Damn! Reno would have to call in favors left and right to get another Mastered Cure Materia. His husband treated his own like a… well, like a rock.
Reno shrugged. He had enough of thinking.
Reno moved closer to Cloud, who welcomed Reno back with a tight embrace, and a kiss on the forehead. "Thanks, Cloud. Really am tired. No foolin'. Make it up to ya later. Turk's honor, yo."
As Reno's eyelids fell shut, for a quick nap, Cloud smiled slightly and murmured under his breath. "Yes, you will."
XXX
Reno vaguely remembered being carried, by Cloud, through the hotel lobby up to the reserved Honeymoon Suite. He also remembered slapping Cloud's helping hands away so he could undress himself.
Tifa had promised to hook Reno up with a lady, who did those cellophane-like wrap thing-a-ma-jigs for preserving clothes. Reno's wedding suit was, most likely, the nicest set of clothes he would ever have. If nothing else, the sheer wrap would keep the bugs away from the silk.
Cloud let Reno have his way, for once, because he had also overheard Tifa. He saw how careful Reno was with his suit, even now, with him being so tired. He watched as Reno carefully hung up the suit, making sure it wouldn't crease.
Reno then flopped down on the bed with just his new boxers on.
When Cloud undressed, he hung up his new suit, as well, and laid down beside Reno.
When Cloud attempted to remove Reno's boxers, to leave him naked, Reno held on to them with a death-grip.
Cloud's stern look did nothing to quail Reno's tired gaze.
"Just tonight, Husband. Leave the Turk be."
Cloud grunted his annoyance, but relented in the end. He embraced Reno instead, laying Reno's head on his chest.
"Know it's hard on ya. Ya can feel me up and rub on me, if ya need to get off. Just let me sleep. 'Kay?"
Cloud couldn't help but feel put out, but he remembered what the head scientist had informed him, and grunted his acceptance of situation.
Reno quickly fell back asleep as he felt Cloud bring his lax body against his own.
Cloud got himself off by nuzzling Reno's neck and inhaling his scent as he masturbated against his sleeping mate. It wasn't much, especially for his wedding night, but Cloud, unlike Reno, knew what was going to happen the next day, so he was content for now.
XXX
Cloud was in the shower, when Reno woke up, the next day.
Reno's gaze moved to the window.
Rufus had already cautioned him about making a runner, during his honeymoon with Cloud. He had informed a pissed-off Reno, that the Hotel would be guarded 24/7, until he and Cloud left to return to Edge together.
Reno wasn't pissed-off about the precautions. He was just pissed-off Rufus knew him so well.
Reno asked if the Turks were going to film Cloud and him consummating the marriage.
Rufus had serenely smiled and stated that he'd make sure to send Reno a copy set to his favorite music.
Luckily for Rufus, Tseng came up, just in time, to rebuke his mate and reassure Reno that it would be guard duty only.
Rufus kept on smiling with glee.
Reno's gaze was diverted by Cloud's appearance as he opened the bathroom door. Oh my.
Reno still was pretty sure he was straight. The sight of his new husband with just a towel on, though...
Reno thought to himself. Well, he wouldn't be the first guy willing to go gay for Cloud Strife.
Reno had witnessed the way people reacted to Cloud.
Cloud was sort of asexual that way, in Reno's opinion. He was pretty much considered fuck-worthy by almost everyone he ever met.
Reno sighed. It was a good thing Reno was a Turk. He would need all that training to keep the fan-people at bay.
"Shower's free. Don't worry. I won't try to join you. Take your time."
Reno nodded, rose out of bed, and edged his way past a creepily grinning Cloud to the still steamy bathroom.
After Reno had shut and locked the door behind him, he inhaled and swore. The bathroom even smiled like Cloud. He felt his penis start to rise on it's own. Shower! Focus on shower!
While Reno scrubbed himself down, his thoughts drifted to what awaited him once he got out of the bathroom. He cringed and felt slightly nauseous. He shook his head to clear it of it's disturbing, but most likely truthful, images.
While Reno showered, Cloud, still wearing just a towel, readied the room for Reno's transformation.
The waiter had already arrived and gone, leaving enough food and drink for a couple of hours.
Cloud fastened the scarves to the headboard and, experimentally, tugged at the slack. Hmm. It should do.
Reno was strong, but not as strong as Cloud.
The gear was really to keep Reno still. He was so squirmy when he tried to fight back.
Cloud giggled. It was one of the main things Cloud loved about Reno.
Reno knew he could never win against Cloud, but it never stopped him from trying anyway.
Cloud's shining Mako-blue eyes fastened on a harmless looking blue box wrapped in a gold ribbon. He walked over and held it up in the palm of his hand. It was so light. His and Reno's future all tied up in this little blue box.
Cloud placed the box on the bed and looked back over his work. Perfect. He looked over to the bathroom door and frowned. Now, if only his mate would get out of the shower.
XXX
Reno expected a lot when he finally worked up the nerve to unlock the door and, sheepishly, come out of the bathroom. He had decided to make it easier on himself and came out nude.
Reno had never been body conscious. It was just the way Cloud stared at him, without blinking, that freaked him out.
When Reno came out, he didn't see Cloud. He did feel a familiar nerve strike hit the middle of his chest.
Oh fuck! A fucking stinger. The inflicted would feel pain for a long ten seconds, then his arms and legs would be no good for at least ten minutes. Of course, the Turks had a block for it. Reno just didn't expect to be ambushed, in that manner, by Cloud.
Truthfully, Reno believed Cloud was going to do the old-fashioned back-door assault. He should have remembered that SOLDIERs always came in through the front.
As Cloud caught Reno's stuttering body, Reno's confused gaze moved down. Yep, big sword swinging away. "Sorry, Reno. I just need for you to lie still, while the Materia does it's work. I have a feeling you would fight me if I didn't do this. I don't want to hurt you before we make you pregnant."
Reno's eyes got as big as plates. The fuck !?!
Oh yeah. Couldn't have babies without a place to put them in.
Reno assumed that he'd have to go to New Shinra headquarters where the Research Center was. He figured he'd be able to dodge that for awhile. Maybe even a year or two.
Fucking Rufus! Always ten steps ahead.
Cloud carefully laid Reno out on the bed.
Reno's eyes darted up as Cloud securely fastened his wrists with soft scarves that would keep him still, but not bruise him terribly, if he struggled.
Reno felt his tongue and mouth get their feeling back. "Cl-Cl-Cloud don' do this. Don' tie me up. Don' need to. Stay still for ya. Promise, yo."
Cloud got off the bed and retrieved the blue box from the bedside table. He held it up and then placed it on Reno's chest.
Reno gazed at it, with confusion. Well, it was wrapped pretty. "What's in the box, Cloud? Weddin' present?"
Cloud grinned.
Reno shuddered. He wasn't fooled anymore with Cloud's grin.
At first, it made Reno reminisce and think it was the old teenage Cloud showing it's pretty dim head. He now acknowledged that it was actually Mr. Horny come out to play.
Reno didn't like Mr. Horny. He played rough and broke things.
"You could say that." Cloud picked up the box, unwrapped it, and took out what was inside.
Reno's eyes marveled at the sight. He never saw Materia of that color. It was like a constantly moving rainbow. "Pretty. What's it do, yo?"
Cloud held it up higher and peered at it. He then looked over to Reno.
If Reno could back up, he would have. He had never seen Cloud's eyes glow so brightly, not even while raping him.
"This Materia has one special function. It gives the receiver female reproductive organs and the necessary entrance for the baby to come out of."
Reno felt like he was going to throw up. He suddenly realized that feeling had returned to his extremities as his arms frantically tugged at their binding. If he hadn't been nerve-striked earlier, he would have been able to get out of the binding easily, but his reflexes were still too sluggish, except to tug.
Cloud tilted his head as he watched his spouse struggle. "Thought you were going to stay still for me, Reno? Were you lying then, too. You know I hate when you lie."
Reno quickly stopped struggling and looked at Cloud with wide eyes. "Ah, no! Uh. Just uncomfortable, ya know. Heh."
Cloud nodded and climbed back on the bed. He shimmied closer to Reno, who was subtly shrinking away.
"Uh. Husband? Can' we talk about this? Like ya said, it's all set-up. It can wait. Don' need to make babies now."
Cloud shook his head negatively and held up the Materia over Reno's lower stomach. He frowned when Reno, using his butt power and legs, shoved his lower torso out of the way.
"Come on, Cloud! Don' want it yet! How about we do some of that butt stuff? Ya liked that! Only did it once. Uh. I won' fight. Cloud! No! Let go!"
Cloud had roughly grabbed Reno's hip and tugged his lower torso back into place. With enhanced arm strength, he held a wiggling, whining Reno still.
Cloud once again held the Materia over Reno's lower torso as the head scientist had instructed him over his cell phone.
Reno shrieked as the Materia's power was activated and the rainbow shot from the Materia into him.
Cloud continued to hold the Materia and Reno still as the specialized Mako did it's work.
Reno began to cry and yell.
Cloud's eyebrows furrowed as he heard some of the things Reno was yelling at his head. "Reno. Calm down. You're not going to become a dickless wonder! The head scientist stated that, other than the new entrance and nerve bundles above, everything else would stay the same."
Reno stopped yelling and sniffled, somewhat placated now that he knew he would still have balls and a penis. He frowned as something else suddenly occurred to him. "I'm gonna get tits. Ain't I?"
Cloud, for once, cringed and refused to look at Reno. He stared resolutely at the place Reno's womb was forming, and concentrated on holding both the Materia and Reno still, until the change was over. "The head scientist said they wouldn't appear until at least your second trimester."
Reno blew a strong raspberry in Cloud's direction.
Cloud flinched as some of the spit hit his body.
"May have asked for the babies. Didn' ask for tits. This is your doin', Strife. Fuckin' pervert! Don' need tits to take care of my babies. Ain't foolin' this Turk, yo!"
Cloud refused to dignify Reno's retort with an answer. The head scientist was somewhat confused on Cloud's adamant demand for the breasts. Well, Mr. Shinra had ordered the department to give Strife everything he demanded. Breasts were a small addition to the Mako mixture.
Reno just didn't need to know that.
Reno's transformation ended with an extremely loud pop as his female opening made it's grand entrance into the world.
Reno gazed at his awe-struck husband and swore.
Now that he had two openings for Cloud to play with, Reno would be lucky to ever leave their new house again.
Cloud placed the, now dulled, Materia on the bed side table. He sat back down beside Reno's lax knees and smiled at a white-faced Reno. "Okay, Reno. Let's make a baby."
XXX
The only warning Cloud got was the same feral grin Reno gave when he had dropped the plate on Sector 7.
Reno firmly kicked Cloud in the chest, sending him flying off the bed. He then executed a back-flip that landed his feet on the headboard.
Using the strength of his enhanced legs and arms to yank the scarves free of the headboard, Reno clambered off the bed, scenting freedom, and headed for the nearest exit. He didn't give a damn that he was naked, with pink scarves waving from his wrists. The Turk wanted out and he wanted out now.
Cloud let Reno have a little taste of hope.
Reno almost made it to the Suite's main door. His long fingers brushed the very handle before Cloud grabbed him by his thin waist and hauled his flailing body up. His thin feet pedaling frantically in the air.
Reno didn't go down without a fight. His bony heels and elbows went for Cloud's knees and sides of his head.
When Cloud threw Reno on the bed, Reno had the air knocked out of him.
Cloud launched himself at Reno, knowing that the fight wasn't over.
Reno hissed as Cloud landed on him. His fingers went for Cloud's eyes. He clawed at Cloud's throat and yanked at his ears.
Cloud swore as Reno's nails left bloody gouges around his voice box where they had dug in, attempting to tear his throat out.
Of course, there was nothing Reno could do to actually kill Cloud, but he could make him hurt really bad. Maybe enough for Reno to be able to keep his new virginity for another hour or so.
Cloud grimaced in pain and finally decided enough was enough. He had wanted to be gentler with Reno, but Reno had started this fight. Cloud would end it.
Cloud figured Reno was a Turk. He could take a little pain.
With that decision, Cloud ended Reno's fight with a firm backhand to Reno's face.
Reno slowly brought his face back to look up at Cloud, holding his hands against his injured cheek. His ocean-blue eyes filled with tears.
Cloud felt like shit for doing it, but he reasoned it was Reno's fault. He never knew when to back down, even if it was better for him.
Reno blinked and the tears fell.
Cloud swore as Reno spoke. "Fucker. Crazy fucker. That actually hurt. Ya get off on beatin' me, Cloud. 'Cause I ain't gonna stand for it. Momma died that way. Ain't gonna happen to me. Kill myself first. Try havin' babies with my dead body."
Cloud groaned and he gathered Reno close. He held Reno tightly as Reno fidgeted, but then quieted down to nurse his own cheek, as the Mako healed it.
If Reno had been a civilian, Cloud would have broken Reno's jaw and probably knocked in that whole side of his face. Even with Reno's Turk enhancements, his cheek still hurt like a motherfucker.
"No, Reno. I hate hitting you. If you stopped fighting me, I'd never hit you again. You have to stop fighting me. I have problems controlling my strength, you know that. I warned you before, about pushing my buttons. You still continue to do it. I know that you know when you're pushing me too far. You get that look in your eyes. Sometimes, I think you want me to kill you."
Reno looked away, still holding his cheek. He couldn't help it. It's what helped him become second-in-command of the Turks.
Reno saw danger and he ran towards it, usually cackling madly with glee.
Reno knew when Cloud was pushed to the limit. He knew when Cloud was teetering right at the edge.
Reno couldn't help but push Cloud off it.
The Turk, in Reno, found it funny as Hell when he saw Cloud lose it.
Reno, himself, secretly relished the fact that he was the only one to break Cloud's psyche that way. The only one on the whole Planet.
Reno ruefully moved his now somewhat healed jaw around. Well, it was fun until the hurting and pain commenced. he could do without that.
Reno sighed and carefully wrapped his arms around Cloud's extremely tense shoulders. "We're both fucked up. I get it. Gotta 'member, though, Husband. I ain't SOLDIER, First Class. Can't take that handlin'. Even with my enhancements, I break too. You want this body to have your babies? Gotta treat it better. 'Specially when I'm carryin'. Gotta 'member to be nice, even when I push. Gotta warn ya. Gonna be pushin' your buttons a lot when I'm pregnant. Know that for sure, yo."
Cloud nodded against Reno's neck. He raised himself up on his forearms, kissed Reno's cheek, and licked Reno's tears away. "I'm sorry. I'll try to be better, but you have to promise to not fight me when I want to love you. I have needs, Reno. I told you that before you married me."
Reno rolled his eyes. "Yeah, it's poking me in the thigh as you're speakin. No excuse. Don' make me feel better, either."
Cloud spied the "grin" out of the corner of his eye, right before he was soundly punched in that eye, knocking him, once again, off the bed.
"Now I'm feelin' better, yo."
Cloud stayed, lying on the floor, until he saw Reno's hand appear, making a beckoning motion.
"Ya gonna lay there all night or ya gonna fill my oven. 'Cause ya know, technically, in the eyes of the Gods, we ain't married yet."
Cloud scrambled up onto the bed as Reno giggled.
XXX
As if Reno had actually taken Cloud's request into consideration, Reno lustfully returned Cloud's deep kiss, entwining his tongue with Cloud's, as his arms and legs embraced Cloud's body.
The truth was that Reno always loved to fuck after a good fight.
Of course, in the past, Reno had been the fucker and some lucky gal would be the fuckee.
By now, with Reno's adrenaline running high, and surviving a fight with Cloud for once, without broken bones and almost dying, Reno didn't care about logistics as long as he was satisfied.
Cloud didn't care one way or the other. All he knew was that Reno wasn't fighting him. He'd take what he could get.
Cloud growled as he ground his erection against Reno's. He released Reno's lips and moved down Reno's neck.
Reno flung his head back to give Cloud better access and laughed out loud. He made Cloud feel this way. Cloud wanted him. Only him.
Reno knew there was power in that. He wasn't sure how, but he'd dissect it later. His attention was diverted, with a scream, back to Cloud as Cloud bit down on the juncture of Reno's neck, leaving his mark on his mate.
Cloud licked up Reno's Mako-tinged blood, savoring the taste.
Reno mewled as Cloud's erection accidentally brushed up against his new opening.
Cloud moved back, gently disengaging Reno's embrace, and rising backwards on his knees, so he could view Reno's new entrance.
Reno, kind of guessing where Cloud was going with this, opened his legs wide for Cloud. He had never done this to a woman. But he heard that, for some, it felt better than actual intercourse.
Reno wanted to find out as quickly as possible.
Cloud stared down as Reno moved his penis and balls out of the way. He frowned and hunkered down.
Reno giggled as Cloud swiftly inhaled Reno's new scent. He liked it, sweet and salty at the same time.
"Hey, Husband?"
Cloud's lust-filled gaze moved up to meet Reno's gleeful one.
"Ya know. It's yours now. I know ya wanna. Go on. Have a taste. Might like it. Know I will, yo."
Cloud didn't need any further encouragement. With a snarl, he went for it. His hands holding Reno's quivering thighs apart as he began to lap at Reno's entrance and the little pink nub above it.
Reno flung his head back and cried out at the new sensation. Oh Gods! Cloud could just stay down there.
Reno knew Cloud could hold his breath indefinitely, if he had to. As Cloud's tongue delved further and further into him, Reno decided that Cloud had to.
Reno's hips began to buck on their own, rubbing the little nub against Cloud's nose.
Cloud snuffled and licked the juices that began to flow from Reno. So good. Reno tasted so good. He licked harder and moved up to suck on the nub.
Reno shrieked with joy, released his penis and grabbed Cloud's head to keep him where he was.
Cloud sucked harder and harder as Reno writhed.
Reno couldn't take it. It was too much, and not enough, at the same time.
Reno felt his lower belly get tighter and tighter. His hand brushed his own erection and he looked down. Reno wondered…
As Cloud suckled and lapped, Reno hesitantly began to fist himself. His eyes widened as he felt his heart about to explode. Oh yeah, baby! That was it.
Reno flung his head back, knowing that this was it. He fisted himself fiercely and screamed as his orgasm hit him.
Cloud was shocked as a shower of Reno's juices washed over his face. He quickly lapped up as much as he could.
Reno sluggishly collected the semen from his stomach with his hand and then held it near Cloud's face.
Cloud licked it clean.
Reno was in a daze. So good. He felt so good.
Reno then flinched a little as Cloud kept on lapping. Too much. Hewas too sensitive down there. He gently pushed Cloud away by the shoulders.
Cloud backed up breathing heavily. His lower face still shining. His eyes glowed fiercely in the dim light, signifying that Mr. Horny still ruled his head.
Reno's gaze moved down. Both of them.
Well, Reno figured he was as relaxed as he was ever going to get, in this lifetime. He looked back into Cloud's eyes. "Did good, Strife. Feelin' really good. Feel like makin' babies? I sure do, yo."
Cloud vehemently shook his head yes and, once again, took position between Reno's legs, resting his butt on his feet.
Reno smiled as he wrapped his long legs around Cloud's lower back and lifted his hips.
Cloud firmly took hold of Reno's hips as an anchor, positioned his erection and slowly began to penetrate Reno's new entrance.
Reno held the entrance as wide as he could with his fingers. He used his other hand to rub the little nub of nerves above the entrance.
Cloud stopped as he got the head in and Reno flinched with the pain.
Reno quickly shook his head, frowning. "Fuck, Strife! Gonna hurt me no matter what! Stick it in! Gah!"
Reno flung his head back and screamed as Cloud, taking his advice, pulled Reno's body towards him, encasing his erection completely inside Reno with one harsh pull.
Cloud groaned with the tightness. Gods! Reno was so tight. His inner muscles convulsed around the intruder.
Reno writhed in pain. "Fuck, Cloud! Do something! Gah! Something!"
Cloud looked up in surprise at Reno's pleading tear-stained face and rapidly nodded. He leaned forward, releasing Reno's hips to rest his upper body weight on his clenched fists, on either side of Reno and began to thrust in and out at a brisk pace.
Reno trying everything to make the piercing pain go away, rubbed the little nub and fisted his growing erection at the same time. To his relief, it began to work.
Reno felt the tension build up in his lower belly again. "Come on, Cloud! Guh! Ah! Ah! Fuck me! Ah! Ha! Ah! Harder! Oh! Ah! Nah! Gods! Ah! Ah! Harder!"
Cloud clenched his eyes shut and pounded Reno harder. He felt his orgasm rapidly rising. Reno was too tight, clenching his thrusting erection too hard. He knew he wouldn't be able to hold back. "Gonna come, Reno! Gonna fill you up! Ah!"
Reno nodded, grinning like a maniac, as he fisted himself faster and rubbed himself harder.
Reno screamed and writhed as his orgasm hit him. His penis splattering his semen everywhere. He rubbed himself to make his orgasm last.
Cloud screamed, as well. His eyes rolling to the back of his head, as Reno's internal muscles clenched down like a vice on his still-thrusting penis. Fuck! Oh fuck!
Cloud grabbed Reno's hips and, once again, shoved his convulsing body onto Cloud's pulsing erection.
Cloud wanted to make sure most of his semen went into Reno.
The jets of Cloud's sperm continued to spurt into Reno, filling his new womb.
Reno laid back, exhausted, absentmindedly rubbing his hand over his full lower belly. Warm. He felt so warm inside.
Reno winced as Cloud slowly pulled out. He pouted as he saw the blood on Cloud's penis.
Reno's virginity just didn't last long with Cloud around. Well, at least, he was able to fight back a little this time.
Reno's gaze fastened to Cloud's face and he couldn't help but grin.
Cloud still had a black eye from before.
Reno hoped it hurt.
Reno grimaced as he felt some of Cloud's semen and, most likely his own blood, leak out of him. He made to get up, but was halted by Cloud's firm but gentle hand, against his chest. "Gotta stay still for a little while, Reno. Give it time to take."
Reno's face cleared from it's frown as he remembered. Oh yeah. Whole reason for all this to-do.
Reno shrugged. He was pretty sure, himself, that their baby was already set and cooking. But if it made the Husband not freak out, he would lay there for a little while longer.
Reno laid back, looked up at a concerned Cloud, and sighed. He held his arms out wide. "Come here, psycho. If ya gonna freak out and worry, at least keep me and the baby warm, yo."
Cloud shook his head, as if coming out of a daze, and quickly laid down next to Reno. He laid his spiky head on Reno's chest and listened to his mate's heartbeat. He rubbed his hand against Reno's womb. "Reno?"
"Hmm."
"If it's a boy, I wanna name him Zack. Is that okay with you?"
Reno snorted, and lightly slapped Cloud on the head, before getting comfortable again. "Fuck, yeah! Puppy would come down and prank us if we didn', yo."
Cloud smiled with contentment and, for once, actually fell asleep.
Reno stared up at the ceiling. He didn't tell Cloud, but he could already feel his hips making slight changes for the baby. He knew they had conceived already.
Reno had meant it when he told Cloud he wouldn't stand for Cloud hitting him anymore, especially with the baby on it's way. He just hoped Cloud remembered when Reno pushed him too far again.
Reno thought back on how he felt when his Momma died.
Reno rubbed his stomach, already feeling fiercely protective of the new life growing inside.
Cloud warned Reno that no one would help him if he ran. Well, if Cloud hit him again, he could just whistle to the wind for Reno and the baby, because Reno would be long gone.
