"WHAT?!?"
Sora took a step back as he watched the bodyguard tense, and turn, stalking toward the nearest wall and punching it with his gauntlet covered hand. He was more than a little scared, Vincent's eyes had looked wild for a moment, almost demonic. The teen had never seen Vincent like that, he had known him for as long as he could remember and had never known the bodyguard to lose his temper. Sora looked up at Cid questioningly, and the blonde motioned for him to go into the next room. Before the brunette left the room, he turned back to see Cid with his hand between the other man's shoulder blades, whispering something into his ear.
Sora walked into a room that was lined with soft looking benches, and perched himself on one, knees pulled up to his chest and arms holding them tight. He was still in that position when he heard the two men walk into the room. A warm hand grasped one of his and he looked up to see Vincent, kneeling on the floor in front of him, looking at him intently.
"I'm so sorry Sora," Vincent started, "I've had experience with that man… no that monster… before. I'm sorry if I scared you."
"It's okay." The teen murmured, biting his lip and looking at his knees.
"Still," the man continued, "There's no way in hell I'm letting you near him."
Sora's eyes snapped up to the bodyguard's protective ones, "Why not?"
"You have no idea what he's capable of. Rufus isn't stupid. There's a reason he's risking sending you there."
"Yeah, he doesn't give a shit." Sora said, looking away again.
"Watch yer mouth," Cid said, from where he stood behind the other man, but softly and with no real bite behind it, "You know that ain't true."
Sora shook his head and looked up at the ceiling, eyes now dry, but threatening to fill again. Vincent sighed and reached forward to turn his charge's face towards him.
"Rufus may seem strict and uncaring, but he has always tried to look out for you. Please tell us what's going on. Why are you going to Hojo?"
Sora sat there, staring at the two men exuding nothing but concern and love, unsure if he should tell them. He built up his courage, hoping that the two older men wouldn't hate him as much as his parents apparently did. When he finally spoke it was soft, almost lost, but the two men heard it all the same.
"To get an abortion."
It was completely silent. Sora tensed nervously as Vincent closed his eyes and took a deep shaky breath. When he opened them again, there were tears ready to spill out.
Sora was once again shocked, along with losing his temper crying was something Vincent just didn't do, at least not that Sora had ever seen before.
Cid knelt down next to Vincent and took Sora's other hand.
"Did I hear that right?" he asked in almost a whisper.
Sora nodded and the blonde's head fell forward, resting against the teen's shin, eyes squeezed shut.
"Do you want it?" Vincent asked suddenly and intensely.
"What?" Sora squeaked.
"Do you want an abortion?"
Sora breathed deeply, closed his eyes and gulped. "Not really." He croaked out, a couple more tears slipping down his cheeks. He was surprised by strong arms wrapping around him and pulling him off the bench onto the floor, holding him tight.
"Then you won't get one."
Sora pulled back in shock. "What? You're not disgusted or anything?"
Cid smiled, though it was obvious he was trying not to cry. "Why should we be?"
"Well, I mean," Sora stuttered turning slightly red, "I'm p-pregnant so that means that I'm… not exactly…straight."
Vincent gasped out a chuckle and shook his heard. Cid spoke for him, "That's the thing, kiddo," he started to take off his ever present leather gloves, and nodded to Vincent who managed to slip out of the gold gauntlet he always wore. A strong, muscular hand intertwined with one that was pale, thin, and covered with scars. The thing that caught Sora's attention was the matching gold bands on either man's ring finger.
"Neither are we." Vincent finished for his apparent husband.
Sora's mouth was hanging open as he stared at the two men smiling back at him. The only thing he could think of to say was, "Well. I think I owe Riku twenty bucks."

After the shock had worn off, it had taken a while for the men to scoop themselves off the floor and answer all the questions from a very confused teenager, but they finally made it to the flight deck of the Highwind.
"Alright, a quick course correction and off we go! Twilight Town here we come!"
Sora looked up from where he was standing next to Vincent.
"Twilight town?"
"'course!" Cid replied, "Gotta tell Riku he's gonna be a daddy!"
Sora stared for a moment. "But how did you know?"
"Who else would it be?" Vincent asked, placing his good hand on Sora's shoulder.
"'Sides," Cid interrupted, "There's a doc there who's dealt with this stuff before. Every guy in your position goes to him for help."
"You mean there are others like me?" Sora asked hopefully, seeming to remember Dr. Vexen saying that something like this had happened before.
"Many." Vincent said and smiled down at his charge.
"Why doesn't anyone know about it then?" Sora asked.
"Everybody's too dern scared." Cid said. "And can you blame 'em? With powerful people like Rufus and Larxene running about…"
Sora nodded and sat down.
"It still hasn't sunk in yet." He said and laid his hand on his stomach.
"It will, just give it time." Vincent said. "But remember that you're not alone in this, Sora, not anymore."
