"No!" Yuna heard someone yelling, "Do you want to break my skull or something?" Though the voice did have a similarity to Tidus; judging by the distinct whine in the voice she knew instantly it was him; Smirking at the way he had said it she turned to her side.
Opening her eyes she saw Lulu nursing Vidina three beds down the cabin. It was amazing; it seem like only yesterday when Lulu and Wakka had confessed their feelings and look at Lulu know; a mother with a child. Vidina did look a lot like Wakka, that was easy to tell; as much as Lulu wanted otherwise, it was just a fact in their life. She loved Wakka, she even told Yuna herself; and she didn't care if Vidina looked nothing like her, she'd still continue loving Wakka.
Wakka started laughing which made her wonder what exactly the two men were doing downstairs. Sitting up in bed, she saw Lulu immediately cast her eyes towards her.
"Yuna," She greeted with a smile. "Look Vidina," she shifted Vidina to a sitting position her lap. The baby smiled and gurgled when Yuna waved to him. It was amazing how a baby could bring a smile on an adults face. Maybe it was because of the baby's purity and cleanliness; like the wise say: when a baby is born, it is born innocent and without evil; it is only because of maturity that the child learns of evilness.
"Hey," Yuna said warmly toward Vidina; she then shifted her eyes to the window; outside was still pouring with rain, the clouds fully grey; she then back down to the time it read 11:30am. Startled her eyes found their way back to Lulu who answered calmly. "The trip to Kilika is cancelled for the day," she said.
Yuna raised her brows. "Why?" She asked, "What happened?"
Lulu smiled at the young woman's anxious questions. "Brother didn't want the Celsius to get wet."
Yuna couldn't help but smirk at Brother's intentions of cancelling the trip. "So, he cancelled the trip?"
"We're going tomorrow, don't worry. Well that's if the rain stops." Lulu answered.
Yuna laughed. "Only Brother," she sighed.
"WAKKA!" the two women heard Tidus shouting. "I think you broke my skull," They heard, a fit of laugher from Wakka followed after.
Yuna smirked and so did Lulu. "What are they?" Yuna asked.
"Blitz ball," Lulu answered. "Tidus is trying to teach Wakka how to do the Jecht shot."
"Oh," Yuna said smirking when she heard Tidus groan again.
"Brudda gotta keep out of the way when I attempt the shot," they heard Wakka telling Tidus.
Yuna stood up, stretching her hands up high; then hung them back down to her sides, straightening her clothes that she had crumpled whilst sleeping just a few minutes ago. She neatened the bed that she and Tidus had messed up earlier by simply sleeping in it; tucking the blankets neatly to the side and over the pillow. She counted the bed from the end, remembering the bed so she and Tidus could sleep in it again later at night. She didn't care about the others and wondering whether they'd see them sleeping together; she needed Tidus next to her now a days. She simply couldn't sleep without his warmth next to her. Little did she know that Tidus felt the same way.
Standing up straight, Yuna made her way over to Lulu. "Hey Vidina," She smiled to the baby again, taking his small hand for a shake; a rather formal shake that she'd usually give to Maesters to acknowledge their highness.
The baby gurgled at her greet; squirming in his mothers arms with delight. "Want to carry him?" Lulu asked with a warm smile.
Yuna nodded. "Sure," she answered with enthusiasm in her voice; she leaned forward and collected the baby in her arms, holding him protectively against her chest. "Hello there," she smiled to the baby, holding his hand in hers.
Vidina responded with a smile, moving his legs around excitedly.
"Look at you," Lulu said; Yuna lifted her eyes over to Lulu. "Already looking like a mother," Lulu said.
Yuna blushed. "Oh," she stumbled over her words. "I…Thanks." She smiled.
Lulu smiled back. "Your welcome."
Yuna glanced back down at the baby, imagining a life with Tidus she assumed would never happen.
"Wakka!" Tidus gasped again.
Startled Vidina suddenly kept still whilst Yuna turned her eyes to the fence that covered the top floor of the cabin from the bottom.
"I give up," Tidus sighed, footsteps making its way up the stairs.
"Brudda," Wakka called; another set of footsteps following behind. "Ok, ok, I'll practice more."
Yuna had her eyes fixed onto the steps, waiting for her eyes to rest on a familiar blonde. Soon, which was no more than 15 seconds a blonde's head started appearing from the cracks of the fence, from his hair to his eyes then his nose and his full body.
He saw her staring at him and he couldn't help but smile at the position she was in; Yuna, sitting on bed with baby in hands. What a sobering thought. Just maybe, one day he could really have this moment again, but with the fact that the child she held was theirs. If only.
'If all dreams came true, you wouldn't be happy. Because you'd have everything you ever wished for. Maybe dreams are there, just to give us that small pinch of hope,' Tidus thought.
Tidus made his way over to Yuna, eyes locked on hers as he walked up to her. "Hey," he said warmly, gentleness in his voice.
Wakka saw this and decided to keep quiet, sitting down beside Lulu on the bed; though the couple was just on the next bed with Vidina.
"Sleep well?" Tidus asked, sitting down beside her.
Yuna nodded. "I'm sorry I woke you earlier," she apologized.
Tidus smirked. "Nothing to be sorry for, besides it came out well," he glanced to Wakka, "Had to teach some people how to do the Jecht shot, of course certain people almost broke my skull," Tidus pouted.
Wakka burst out in laughter. "Brudda you were standing in the wrong place, I told you not to stand there but no," he emphasised on his 'no'.
Tidus turned his head to the side with a hint of anger. "I did not."
Wakka nodded. "Oh you did," he smirked. "He's good at fighting fiends ya, and playing blitz too, but never trust him with his hand eye coordination."
Tidus pouted. "I think I'll go cry now," Tidus turned to Yuna, resting his chin on her shoulder, sniffling loudly so that Wakka heard.
"Brudda," Wakka said seriously, hand on Tidus' shoulder.
Tidus shrugged it off, burying his head further in Yuna's neck, sniffling.
"Brudda," Wakka said again.
"I got ya!" Tidus spun around laughing at Wakka.
Wakka rolled his eyes, and then smirked as he took Tidus' head in his hands, running his knuckles through Tidus' head.
"Hey!" Tidus grumbled hands tossed here and there in attempt to push Wakka away.
Yuna and Lulu laughed at the sight before them. It was heart warming to see the two guys at it again. It had been too long indeed.
"Had to make you pay ya," Wakka laughed as he released Tidus.
Tidus snorted and sat back down beside Yuna, from his pouting state to suddenly happy when he saw Vidina. "Hello," Tidus touched Vidina's hand.
Vidina gurgled with joy again, holding his hands out to Tidus.
"He wants you to carry him Brudda," Wakka stated the obvious.
Yuna smiled and handed over Vidina to Tidus.
Wakka, Lulu and Yuna watched as Tidus changed from his usual self to a child entertainer; making Vidina laugh with joy as he did funny faces.
Lulu couldn't help but smile at Tidus; it warmed her heart to see him be so gentle with a child. Air head blonde, as if, Tidus was more than just an air head blonde; he was the warm loving man she had grown to see. The way he held Yuna as he slept and the way he held Vidina. Tidus had truly grown up in the pilgrimage and into a fine young man.
Soon Tidus settled down with Vidina, sitting there just in a calm state. Vidina yawned a couple of times, before his eyes started to flutter together.
"Here," Tidus attempted to hand over Vidina to Lulu but instead was invited with an ear piercing cry from Vidina.
"Ok, maybe not," Tidus said, settling back down beside Yuna on the bed; still holding Vidina who was now falling asleep.
"Looks like Vidina likes you a lot," Lulu smiled.
"I know," Tidus nodded.
The adults seemed to be lost in their minds; each silent as they sat there and stared at Vidina sleeping. Yuna however stared outside, watching the sky.
"Here," Tidus whispered quietly, standing up and passing the sleeping baby back to is mother.
Lulu smiled and nodded. "Thanks."
Tidus smiled back. "Not a problem," he said. His eyes shifted over to Yuna know who was lost in her own world.
"Hey," Tidus shook her out of her thoughts. "I wanna show you something," he said when Yuna looked at him. He handed her a hand, pulling her up beside him.
Yuna smiled warmly at Wakka and Lulu before following Tidus off.
They walked down the steps together, hands laced together.
"Where are we going?" Yuna asked.
"You'll see," Tidus answered.
Yuna narrowed her eyes, which made Tidus chuckle. "Just somewhere," he answered.
"Somewhere?" Yuna questioned, "The ship is all we can venture around, unless you want to jump off."
Tidus laughed. "No," he smirked, "It's on the ship."
Yuna smirked. "I know, I was just joking."
Tidus rolled his eyes playfully. "Jump off the ship," he snorted.
Yuna giggled. "Well, I did. Almost broke my foot too," she said.
"Really when?"
Yuna glared at him. "The day you returned, remember?" she stopped walking.
Tidus stood there thinking then smiled. "Yeah, I remember."
She shook her head at him, detangling her hand from his and walking herself toward the lift.
"Hey," Tidus said worridly, following her into the elevator. "I didn't forget, I was just joking with you," he said.
She leaned against the wall as she watched Tidus press the button to the Deck. Wondering what they would be doing up there; shaking the thought away she focused back on doing her best pout.
Tidus noticed and took a step closer to her, "Hey," he said, holding her arms.
She looked away from him, keeping her eyes on the wall behind him.
He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. "I was joking, of course I remember Yuna. I'd never forgotten the very first day I met you, when I broke all rules and ran into the chamber to see if you were okay. Heck I didn't even know who you were and yet I still worried about your safety."
Yuna couldn't help but smile at his act of kindness that very day. She had just become a summoner; ready to travel Spira and take on Sin with her guardians.
Tidus smiled back to her, leaning in to kiss her forehead. "What ever happens tomorrow with the fayth and all, we'll be in it together okay," he said.
Yuna nodded. "Let's just enjoy today," she rested her forehead against his.
"Hey," he gasped, "I thought you were mad at me?" he asked narrowing his eyes at her.
She giggled. "I was just kidding, I know you remember Tidus."
He rolled his eyes, taking a step back to rest on the other wall. "Now, I'm hurt," he stated, pouting.
"Aww, poor little Tidus always hurt," she pouted coming up against him, trailing her finger down his chest and to his waist band.
"Hmm.." Tidus gave her a seductive glare. "Maybe we should find a room," he chuckled.
"In case you haven't noticed Tidus, there aren't any rooms available. The only room with beds is the cabin."
"Who said we need beds?" Tidus smirked, tracing his finger down her arm which made her tingle; the same sensation building within her.
"Well, I'm not very custom to doing such things on the floor," she mocked, stepping back to lean against the spot where she did earlier.
