A/N: My apologies for the long wait…school was murder, and I was having a hard time getting my muse out…this was a short chapter, but I must ask that you read and review anyway…would you kindly?

Three months later…

Lucrecia's body had the addition of a more spherical shape in her abdominal region—it was to be expected, after all, she was giving birth to triplets. Over the past few months, she and Yuffie had gotten along in much friendlier terms, but that didn't eliminate the fact that there was still a competitive rivalry between them. Yuffie still had a hard time finding a job, not only because of her incomplete education, but also because she was a pet…but that didn't stop her. She eventually came across a "Help Wanted" ad for a bakery—owned by one Ifalna Gast. As Vincent sat around in his office signing more papers, he reflected on how everything had worked up to this point, but before he could continue on with his work, the door opened.

"What's up Aeris?" he asked without picking his head up to look her in the eye, "Nothing much," she answered, with bafflement in her voice as she closed the door behind her, "except that I spoke to Yuffie Kisaragi just yesterday when I visited Mrs. Gast. Are you aware that she's a pet?"

"Of course I am, I'm the one who bought her."

The surprise in her eyes had matched her voice. "Vincent! How could you?"

"It wasn't like that. I found her in a pet auction the night that Professor Highwind took me out to the Golden Saucer. She was made into a pet by Don Corneo, and I just couldn't sit back and risk letting her experience abuse the second she was bought. On a different subject, she told me that she told saw you two months ago with Professor Fair, but didn't show herself because she didn't want you to see her the way she was. Anyway, I want you to answer me this Aeris, if you were in my situation, what would you have done? And if you were made into a pet, how would you feel if you had to confront your friends from school?"

Aeris looked down in apparent shame. "I'm sorry…it's just that she told me that she was happy even if she was a pet. So long as she's with the man she loved, she's happy. I don't know what came over me…it's just that I am used to you having all this pent-up sexual frustration and judging from what Yuffie has told me, you really do care for her as well. Do you love her?"

Vincent looked back at her. "Will this leave the office?"

Aeris nodded—it would remain a secret. "Then if you must know, my heart is torn between the two of my pets as it is. Yuffie must have told you that Lucrecia is also my pet am I correct? Truthfully, I feel love growing for Yuffie, but at the same time, my heart also belongs to Lucrecia—it's as if she's making me forget the fact that she betrayed me. I don't know Aeris, do you think it's possible for a man to sincerely fall in love with two women at the same time?"

"I think I can understand you…while I was still in class, I had a crush on both Professor Fair and Cloud. But since he and Tifa had gone away to university together, I found myself focusing on Professor Fair more than ever…I will forever thank the two of them for helping me to make up my mind. But for you, I think it's up to you if you want to decide who you love more."

The two looked at each other. Aeris was right—and after confirming that her boss was in his thoughts, she left the office, and sat back at her desk.

117 Nibelheim Way…

Yuffie had walked on back into the house. She was satisfied with her third month at work! She learned quite a bit from Mrs. Gast on the art of baking, although her job was to handle the cash register. From that aspect, it would appear that she was getting tutoring for baking some fresh goods, and handling flowers. From her standpoint however, Mrs. Gast seemed to be having a sort of melancholic look about her whenever Aeris walked in… not to mention that she was the spitting image of Aeris if she were in her forties or early fifties. Just what did she have to be sad about?

Well, she can't help it…maybe she'll find a way to cheer her boss up tomorrow. "Penny for your thoughts?" asked a voice from behind her, and it was one that made her spine tingle with heat—it was none other than Vincent hugging her from behind as he moved his head closer to her ear. "How was your day at work?"

Yuffie got a hold on his hand as it made it past her chest from the bottom of her right arm. "It was fine…Mrs. Gast taught me how to bake cookies! I brought my project here today! You want to try it?"

Vincent looked at her with happiness in her eyes, and Lucrecia walked in and hugged the two of them. "Why don't we all try it?" she asked, "I'm pretty sure that Vincent's tired of cooking for the three of us." Yuffie smiled as she reached into her bag, and handed one cookie to Lucrecia, and turned to hand one to her master—as she inhaled the air about him, she knew what Lucrecia said about his scent was true; he did smell like a fresh-cut pine tree. The two of them chewed on her cookies meditatively…and then they slowed a bit…

"These are fine cookies Yuffie," said Vincent, "even though this is Mrs. Gast's recipe, it is clear that this is your batch."

"How do you know that?"

"When you are taught how to cook like the professionals, the first thing you are taught is how to appreciate all food like works of art. You must taste the masterpieces for yourself to see the difference. And I can tell that if you continue your tutelage under Mrs. Gast, you are going to be a great baker one day. Keep it up—the more of yourself you put into your baked goods, the more tender loving care that gets mixed into that recipe, the better you become."

Yuffie looked at her master, and Lucrecia returned the look along with him. It was then that she hugged the two of them. They had become her family in three months' time! How could she not hug them? "And I can think of something even tastier!" It was then that Yuffie jumped up and locked her master into a kiss—much to the surprise and envy of Lucrecia. That little brat! How dare she steal her kiss! Eh, she can still find something to devour, and find it she did—Lucrecia aimed for Vincent's neck at the jugular area, and started planting a hickey there, eliciting a groan of pleasure from his throat.

Yuffie's mouth not only tasted the buttery goodness of her cookies, but the taste of cinnamon emanating from her master—odd, he smells like pine on the outside, but he tastes like spice on the inside…perhaps this was evidence that his bestial side existed. This was the taste that she had been waiting for all day to have in her mouth…and she was going to enjoy it. The heat in her core had been rising significantly—the leg she was using to straddle him felt his manhood gradually rising. Yuffie was going to make the first move to please Vincent, but Lucrecia had already beaten her to the punch by swatting her hand away, and then quickly, but gently undoing the button to his pants, then lowering the zipper, and then finally pulled out Vincent's hardened cock. Her next move was to stroke it as she kissed him in the neck, as his moans continued to be muffled by Yuffie's mouth. She didn't care—his moaning was already making her wet and ready to have him fuck her brains out…she'll just have to time it just right if she wants to get on top of Lucrecia—and master for that matter…but now was a good opportunity for her to get down on her knees and listen to Lucrecia's grunt of displeasure as she started stroking Vincent's cock with her tongue, and then continuing to push her head forward to perform her blowjob. It didn't take too many strokes before he came in her mouth…her next move was to get back up and pull Lucrecia into a kiss while the two of them danced with their tongues to taste the seed of their master.

The two of them didn't hear his approach, but Yuffie noted that something was prodding her nether-regions and pulling her by the ass to touch cunt-to-cunt with her rival. She broke the kiss with a now panting Lucrecia and looked down to see Vincent's manhood penetrate between her thighs and dry-humping his ex-wife while poking Yuffie with the tip. She wasted no time—she pushed Vincent and Lucrecia into the wooden chair, and then started licking Lucrecia in the neck while Vincent did the same on the opposite side while bringing his hands up to grab the size 38E of Lucrecia's breasts while the backs of his hands felt Yuffie's size 36B rubbing against them while her hands moved to his ass and started rubbing slowly and with a firm grip. This only served to increase the speed of the dry-hump before the three of them came as Vincent fell backwards, serving as a cushion for Lucrecia to break her fall—she was having triplets after all.

Vincent was weakened by the release, and was starting to soften…but Yuffie was not having any of it…she was waiting all day for her serving of master-cum, and she was going to get her fill of it! And so she gently pulled Lucrecia off of her master, and shoved his manhood into her mouth to begin a fellatio—it ended as soon as she found that it hardened. Once done, she got up, she fitted his cock into her pussy and sat down in one quick motion—oh how she loved how big he was, the way that she always felt snug around him…it was like their parts were meant to fit each other. It was then that she lay in such a way that her head was over his right shoulder, and she began to whisper into his ear. "Fuck me like the slut I am."

Gone was the consistency of hard rubber, and in came the hardness of a concrete dildo in Vincent's cock…those words were what jumpstarted the action that would bring pleasure to Yuffie as she sat up straight. He started off with a few slow and rhythmic thrusts, slowly increasing the frequency of his ministrations. It was torture for Yuffie as he was gentle with each motion—and each thrust was as if it were threatening her threshold before she lets out the scream of an orgasm, and then the dam was getting closer to breaking as he started fucking her faster and harder gradually. It got to the point where he was pounding away at her like a jackhammer, causing her small breasts to bounce up and down in rhythm with his rapid ministrations. It wasn't long before the two of them came together as Yuffie let out her orgasm in a loud and pleasurable moan that ensured that Vincent remained as hard as he was even after he shot a heavy load into her before she fell forward with weariness wracking her body and pressing her chest against his. It wouldn't be long until he moved his head next to hers and returned the favor for the whisper with his own. "Turn around so that I can fuck you like the animal you are."

She did as she was told—she got up and pulled his cock out, turned her whole body 180-degrees while she got down on all fours and shaking her butt in front of her master. "What are you waiting for master? Come on in!" With that, Vincent got up, and started rubbing the tip of his cock against her nether lips up and down four times before he shoved the rest in while bending over Yuffie as she moaned in pleasure while he moved closer to her ear and grabbed her by her breasts. "I hope you're ready for the pain to come." With that, he opened his mouth, and placed a kiss on her neck…she simply started bucking her hips back while he slammed himself into her while continuing on with his hickey. With each suck on her neck, each rotation of her small breasts, and each ministration, she grunted and groaned in ecstasy. Slowly, but surely, Vincent's right hand moved from Yuffie's breast, and started trailing down her chest, across her stomach, and in between her hips until he found her clit. At the first touch, Yuffie's groaning became slightly louder, but each rub on that little bud made her buck her hips even faster. It wouldn't be long until the two of them came again. This time, it was enough to put Vincent down for an hour or so…and Yuffie joined in…

The next morning…

The rays of sunlight pierced through the window of Vincent's room. As usual, he spotted the two women he loved with their arms across his chest, and their legs straddling him. He sighed, he was happy now—and he would let it last. "Master, I have a question," said Yuffie, "you know Mrs. Gast right?"

"If you're speaking of Ifalna, then I know what you're going to ask."

She then looked up at Vincent with a quizzical look on her face. "Shortly after my tour as a Turk, I had two friends, both of whom were older women. One was Elmyra Gainsborough who was my high school teacher at the time, and the other would be Ifalna Gast. Anyway, one night a few years after I, as she was coming home, Ifalna was taken against her will by someone on her way home from the bakery that she now owns…I happened to be on my way back to my apartment at the time when I saw her assailant on top of her. By that time, it was already too late, for by the time I had knocked out the rapist and called the police, the assailant had what he wanted from her. Not ten days later, Ifalna found herself pregnant with a baby girl…a baby girl you know Yuffie. Even today, I wonder how things would have went had I come sooner—because shortly after Aeris was born, Ifalna chose to give her to Elmyra because she came from a poor family and could not take care of the child. To this day, Ifalna still feels bad about what she did to her daughter, but in hindsight, it was for the best given how Aeris turned out today."

Yuffie then looked and thought about what was said. "Aeris knows nothing of this does she?"

"No…and it would probably be best if she doesn't know. Even today, when not being professional, she calls Ifalna 'auntie'. She's happy now, even with what she got on her own two feet…which is why I'm asking you to do the same just as she has asked it of me to keep mum about this. You may speak to Ifalna or Elmyra about it, but not in front of Aeris."

She understood why…for as long as she remembered, Aeris was a happy person. It would not do to break her happy world…and she especially didn't want to take her away from Elmyra—from what she heard of the woman, she was barren, and could not have children…Aeris is not her daughter by blood, but her life is still made brighter by her presence.

"Can't you do anything about it?"

"No. As much as I wish to help my friends out of this situation, I can't—it's not even my fight to begin with. If I move in, I might break something, and so I'm hesitant to get involved. I try to think of ways to help them, but they always come to a blank, as no matter what I think up, I can't find a way to help them without risking damage to what they have as a family, and I don't wish to taint that happiness."

There was a pout on her face. It was then that Vincent comforted her before kissing Yuffie on the forehead affectionately. "I don't like this as much as you do, but there is honestly nothing we can do. All that we can do is watch on from afar and hope for the best."

A/N: And so we get more drama...hopefully I won't involve Aeris like this again in the future...
