A/N: Okay, it's safe to say that I am now co-writing this with my friend, Yazzy Dollface; which only makes sense since this was born from her dream. This chapter is her work, not mine. As always, reviews and constructive criticism are welcome.

Disclaimer: see chapter one


Three weeks had passed since Nero was attacked in his bedroom. He had been in hospital for about a week before he was well enough to return home. Yazoo had spent every free minute with his baby brother, trying to help him recover from the trama he had suffered. He was determind Nero not to feel abandoned, the way he had the first time Dmitry had raped him.

Vincent, Kadaj, Loz, Sephiroth and Cloud spent every free minute hunting down the beast that had dared violate the sanctity of Vincent's home and ravage his son. Reno had put every available Turk on the case as well. Dmitry had disappeared. There was no sign of him anywhere. None of them were giving up. Nero was just waking from a nap when he felt it. A wave of nausea overcame him. He barely made it to the bathroom before spilling the contents of his stomach into the toilet. Yazoo heard Nero wrenching and ran to the bathroom, gathering Nero's hair back so he wouldn't get vomit in it.

"Are you okay now?" Yazoo asked as Nero flushed the toilet and stood up, going to the sink to brush his teeth.

"I don't know what came over me. One minute I was asleep, next minute I was sick," Nero said looking at his reflection in the mirror. The black eye he suffered was nearly faded and his split lip was healed. "I look like crap."

Yazoo walked over to him and drew him into a hug. "You look fine, squirt."

Later that evening the entire family had gathered over a Sephiroth's home for a barbeque. Everyone was keeping a sharp eye on Nero, hoping he wouldn't have another round of sickness. He had told Yazoo that he felt perfectly fine after the first bout. They ate their meal as all families, chatting and laughing. Nero was finally starting to feel like his old self.

After supper Elena brought out a cake she had prepared for dessert. Just as Nero took his first bite of the cake, he jumped up from the table and ran to the bathroom, vomiting for the second time that day.

What is wrong with me? he thought to himself.

This continued for a week, until Vincent decided to take Nero back to the ShinRa Medical facility. They ran tests and bloodwork. Vincent and a very nervous Nero were waiting in the examining room for the result. Finally the doctor entered the room.

"Well Nero, we know why you have been so sick this past week," she said, looking at the chart in her hands.

"Well, what is wrong with him?" Vincent asked, taking his son's hand.

"When you son was..." She paused trying to put what she had to say in a more delicate way. "Violated...his attacker left a spermal deposit. I'm afraid Nero is pregnant."

Nero shook his head in denial. "No! No! I don't want it! Get it out of me now!"

Vincent grabbed his son's hands and pulled him over into a tight hug. "It's going to be okay, Nero."

"How? How is it going to be okay, Dad? I have that demon's spawn growing inside me!" Nero said, crumbling into tears.

The doctor watched the scene unfold in front of her. "Well there are alternatives. You are three weeks along. That gives you a couple of weeks to decide what you want to do." She turned and left the room.

"Nero, please wait until we talk to the others before making any decision okay?" Vincent said hugging Nero tighter. "Okay, Father, I will," Nero said, resting his head on his father's shoulders.


Later that evening the family had gathered again. Vincent broke the news that Nero was pregnant. "Oh my goddess, what are we going to do?" Yazoo said, holding Nero and trying to comfort him.

Nero shook his head. "I don't want it! I don't want that evil spawn growing in me."

Sephiroth walked over and brought his baby brother into a tight hug. "We will support whatever decision you make Nero, but I want you to consider something. This baby is innocent. The child doesn't have to be like that monster. We are all here for you and if you decide to keep it, we will help you. Do you understand?"

Nero bowed his head. He had a lot to think about.
