Redemption

Chapter 10

Final Warning

7th Heaven

7 Months 1 Day

Tifa rarely had the energy to do much else than eat, sleep, or sit anymore. Sometimes she couldn't even find the energy to get out of bed in the mornings. She would just sit up, look out the window and clutch her cell phone waiting for him to call. He never did. Yuffie had taken over most of her usual duties such as taking care of the children, cleaning house, preparing meals, opening and closing as well as tending the bar and every once and a while keeping Tifa company. She hated seeing Tifa in such a pitiful state. Yuffie began wiping tables in the bar. Man, how does Tifa manage all by herself, all the time? It's killing me, she always acted as though she had everything together! She heard footsteps behind her and stopped what she was doing. "Are you sure you should be up?" Tifa ran her fingers through her hair.

"I'm fine right now, I thought you might need some help." Tifa grabbed a towel from the bar and began to dry the wet beer mugs. "I'm sorry, It must be hard having to do all this by yourself. It's my fault, you shouldn't need too.." Yuffie grinned.

"That's why I'm here remember??" Tifa placed the mug in the icebox.

"Yeah, but I feel bad, It's so much work." Yuffie rinsed out the dirty rag.

"I'm just wondering how you always do it! You've been doing all this all by yourself for how long now?" Tifa smiled.

"I dunno, I always found it fun, taking care of the kids, and tending the bar! It kinda came naturally to me I suppose!" Yuffie began wiping off bar stools. "Besides I always have the kids help me with the bar to earn their allowances." Tifa finished up with the beer mugs and grabbed a broom and a dust pan. Yuffie finished with the seats and grabbed some paper towels and window cleaner. Yuffie began scrubbing the finger prints from all the windows.

"Any word from Cloud yet?" Tifa shook her head.

"No word from him at all, I just hope he's doing okay. I'm actually kind of worried. I didn't think it would take this long for him to come home." Yuffie sighed.

"I'm sure he'll come home soon or at least call you."

"Yeah, I'm sure you're right." she smiled as she continued to sweep. Yuffie squinted and looked outside at a figure who was standing and staring at the bar.

"Hey!" she set the windex down on a stool and walked towards the door.

"What's wrong Yuffie?" the ninja smiled.

"I'll be right back!" with that Yuffie grinned and closed the door. She walked up to the man in a suit and punched his gut. The man curled over and coughed. "What are you doing here? It's not smart you know! Tifa is a successful martial artist and I'm a ninja, both of us were some of the people who saved this place from meteor! What makes you think that you can challenge us?! Get the hell out of here before I get really angry!" Bill began to laugh. "Why are you laughing?"

"Because, I know your weaknesses!" Yuffie frowned.

"Like what? We have no weaknesses!" The man smirked and rubbed his chin.

"For one, your little friend Tifa, is completely useless in the state she's in! So the main threat is out of the way!" Yuffie tightened her fists.

"She's still able to beat you and your little pals. I'm watching you! I will find out where you little fuckers are staying and beat all of your asses." The man grinned.

"Good luck with that! Remember I too am watching you, I will take you and your pathetic business down, no matter how long it takes." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a slip of paper. "Be a dear and give this to Ms. Lockheart for me." he handed her the slip, turned on his heel and walked away. Yuffie looked down on the piece of paper.

The Note

Bill's friendly family protection.

Only a small deposit of 58,000,000 Gil

and a monthly payment of 10000 Gil to

ensure your family or business' safety.

Ms. Lockheart we would greatly advise

that you seriously consider this proposal,

It will be you last chance.

-Bill

Yuffie scrunched up the piece of paper and her nose. When I find you bastards, I'll rip you a new one! She walked into the bar and saw Tifa pouring a glass of red wine. "TIFA! What are you doing?" Tifa smiled and took a sip of the wine.

"Yuffie, the doctor said it was good to drink wine once in a while, It's good for the baby!" Yuffie breathed.

"If you say so. Which reminds me, don't you have an ultrasound today?" Tifa grinned.

"Yeah, I get to see how well my baby is doing!" Tifa laughed. "Its in an hour."

An Hour 10 Minutes Later

Tifa changed into the robe the doctor let her and looked around the room. Everything was the same as every doctors room, some paintings on the walls, diagrams of the human body, an icy table and an ominous feeling. A knock from the door grabbed her attention.

"Can I come in?" Tifa blushed.

"I'm dressed." she held herself tightly. Doctor's offices always made her uptight. The doctor walked in and smiled, closing the door tightly behind her.

"So Mrs. Lockheart, What are we here for today." the doctor sat down in his swirly chair and grinned. Tifa looked at her toes.

"Ms...It's just Ms." she swung her legs a bit. "I just wanna see how its doing." she placed her hand over her belly. The doctor wiggled his mustache.

"Alright then lets get started! It shouldn't take to long." the doctor placed some jelly substance on her belly and taped up some wires to her belly and arms. "Good news! Everything looks to be going well. Do you want to know the gender?" Tifa shook her head.

"I like surprises."
