Cloud held the breakfast tray for Tifa as she unlocked the door to Aerith's room early the next morning.
"We're here, Aerith!" Tifa called out as they entered the room. "Put the tray on the footstool and start a fire, please." she said quietly aside to Cloud before she approached Aerith's bed.
"I didn't know you were going to be here so early, I'm sorry." Aerith apologized. She was still in bed, having woken up when they arrived.
"Don't worry about it, it's good that you're still in bed, we want to get this over with before breakfast anyway, okay?" Tifa got into bed with Aerith, sitting with her back against the headboard, and folded her legs under each other, so Aerith's head was resting comfortably on Tifa's calves.
"Yes, Lady Tifa. But where is your husband?" Aerith asked, turning her head as if looking for him.
"Right here." Cloud answered as he got the fire roaring, then walked over to the bed. "Nice to meet you, Aerith."
"I'm pleased to meet you as well." Aerith stuck her hand out, and Cloud shook it.
He hadn't paid much attention to Aerith when they took her prisoner, having been too battle weary at the time. But now with his pill starting to take effect, he looked at her hungrily as he quickly stripped. He found her white unseeing eyes a bit unnerving, but she was quite attractive he thought as he joined them in bed.
"It will hurt you a little, but you'll end up loving it, won't you?" Tifa told Aerith as Cloud started undressing her.
"I'll end up loving it." Aerith repeating, feeling nervous as she felt a naked man's body against hers for the first time.
"I'm here with you." Tifa said to Aerith as she stroked her hair. Aerith relaxed as much from that reassurance as from Cloud exploring her body. It felt as good as when Tifa touched her intimately. "Caress him too, he likes it." she ordered Aerith.
Aerith obeyed, familiarizing herself with Cloud's body, pausing only when she touched his penis. It sprang to life immediately as Cloud groaned, and Aerith quickly pulled her hand away in surprise.
"No!" Cloud growled, grabbing her wrist and putting her hand back. "Keep me in your hand til I say otherwise."
Aerith would have been frightened if Tifa didn't lightly touch her cheek in reassurance when she told her to obey Cloud. Aerith concentrated on feeling his now pulsating member in her hand, finding herself somewhat fascinated by how it reacted to her touching it, and she wondered how it was supposed to make her feel as good as Tifa did. Now aching for release, Cloud groaned again and pulled her hand away as he pushed her legs apart with his own. Aerith tried to cry out from the pain Tifa warned her about as he forcefully initiated her into womanhood, but Cloud had smothered her mouth with his own, and she found herself overwhelmed by him. He was in her and on her, every part of their bodies joined together as she now experienced the pleasure Tifa had promised her. She found herself clawing at him for more one moment, and floating amongst the stars the next. Aerith came back into her own body with a gasp.
"You did very well for your first time. Next time you'll know what to expect." Tifa gave her a congratulatory kiss.
"Next time?" Aerith questioned her as Cloud laid in the bed next to her.
"We'll be doing this every hour til dinnertime. That way we have a better chance of succeeding." Tifa explained.
"Oh." Aerith hadn't expected that.
"I waited to tell you to see how the first time went. And we really like the idea of a little girl just like you growing in here." Tifa tenderly patted Aerith's flat stomach.
"I want that too." Aerith stated firmly. She wanted to do everything she could to repay Tifa's kindness to her, and she knew Tifa would be such a loving mother, taking care of the baby just like she took care of Aerith.
Tifa smiled and kissed her again. "I know you'll never let me down. Now I'll feed you breakfast."
"Where have you been?" Yuffie demanded when Tifa came to her prison cell that evening. "I didn't have breakfast or lunch!" she complained.
"I gave you food last night." Tifa said coldly. "If you can't make that last, that's your own fault, you ungrateful brat. Be glad I don't throw your food on the floor and make you eat it that way." Tifa put the meal tray on the bed and left, slamming the door shut with an unmistakable warning.
"How did the seeding go?" Sephiroth asked Tifa and Cloud at dinner.
"She was at her most fertile, and the medication they both took should ensure success." Tifa answered first.
"If she can't breed, she can rejoin the Lifestream." Sephiroth announced. "We don't have any use for those who have no purpose, do we?" he asked, and Cloud obediently nodded in agreement, while Tifa looked down at her dinner plate to get control of the burning rage she felt towards them both. Aerith was hers! They weren't going to take her away from Tifa, no one was. For the first time, she admitted to herself that Cloud was a lost cause. Sephiroth had broken him too far to be put back together again. The only way to save him now would be to kill him. Only in death would he be free from Sephiroth. And Sephiroth…death was too good for him, but it was a start. She would find a way to destroy them both, and then Aerith would be safe and she would be with Tifa forever.
