Reno hurriedly cut the umbilical cord, then took his son over to the small metal wash basin that he had staying warm by the fire. He had put water in it hours ago, and after checking to make sure the water was the right temperature, he washed his son, who started crying as soon as the water touched him. Aerith started loudly whispering to hold him when she heard him. Reno dried their son off and then wrapped him in one of the maternity nightshirts that Aerith wouldn't need anymore.

Aerith eagerly grabbed hold of her son and looked him over from his toes to his red hair as Reno cleaned her up with the pot of warm water he started heating up as soon as she went into labor. When their son grabbed hold of Aerith's finger, she started crying as she thought about her other babies that never became anything but tissue samples. Reno took him back when she couldn't calm down and got slightly hysterical, and he placed their son in the basket bed Aerith had woven for him.

"It's all over now." Reno said as he washed the tears and sweat off her face after she calmed down from sheer exhaustion.

"We can keep him, can't we?" Aerith pleaded.

"Of course we will." Reno promised her.

Aerith took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "He looks just like his daddy." she whispered before falling asleep.

When Aerith woke up, she heard her son crying, and saw that Reno had fallen asleep in their only chair. She saw that the fire was just embers, so she managed to get up and put the right firewood on it to get it blazing again, then picked up her son. The volume of his crying went down when she picked him up, but he didn't stop crying. She shook Reno awake.

"Hu...what?" Reno startled awake and then rubbed his eyes when he realized it was just her.

"He's crying and he won't stop. What's wrong?" Aerith asked worriedly.

Reno sniffed the air. "Well he probably needs to be changed for starters, but…oh crap we don't have any diapers! Um, he's probably hungry too."

Reno just unwrapped the shirt around him and wiped him off, then wrapped him in another shirt. Then Aerith sat down in the chair and started breastfeeding as Reno took the diaper shirt out and held it tight under the waterfall to rinse it out, then hung it on the rope they were using as a clothesline.

"The storm has stopped, I'm going to go try and get some diapers." Reno told her, then got into his snowsuit and gloves. Putting the hooded jacket on, he put a bottle of whiskey in each pocket before leaving. He came back right and put his snow boots on before heading out again.

Aerith looked down at their son who was greedily feasting. "That's your daddy." she told him. She was surprised by Reno's sudden departure, and was worried that something might happen to their son while he was gone. She didn't know how to take care of babies. He soon stopped eating and fell asleep, so she put him back in his bed, and then put more wood on the fire before getting into bed herself to take a nap.

Reno made his way to the village as fast as he could. They needed diapers before their son could start wearing the clothes they had for him. He felt like a horrible idiot for forgetting about diapers, but at least it gave him a reason to leave. He was overwhelmed by it all and needed some breathing room. Being a father was never something he had planned on, anymore than he had expected ending up leaving the Turks as a fugitive.

Aerith saw a figure standing over her son's basket bed, looking at him. "Get away from him!" she yelled, looking for a weapon.

The figure turned towards Aerith, and she saw that it was a woman, who smiled at her.

Don't worry, I would never hurt him. Aerith heard the woman's statement in her head. He reminds me a bit of your grandfather Jonah if his hair color was different.

"Who are you?" Aerith demanded to know.

You don't recognize me? The woman frowned.

Aerith stared long and hard at the woman, and a buried memory resurfaced. "Mo…Mommy?"

Yes, my little one. The woman smiled. The planet and I are always here for you.

Aerith suddenly woke up to Reno's return, and saw that there was no one by their son's bed.

"Okay, now we can get that little guy suited up." Reno said as he put down the bags of diapers down and brushed the snow off himself.

"Can we name him Jonah?" Aerith asked.

"Sure, that's fine." Reno agreed.
