Chapter 11: The kiss

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

He still couldn't believe it. He never thought that it was going to be like this. He had expected rejection, but here he was, being welcomed to his "family" like he hadn't done anything wrong. He loves them, and he would give his all to them. But he forgot one thing that will stop him from doing that.

That he was married to someone else. That he has a wife waiting for him at home. The wife he will eventually go home to, leaving this family of his for a while, he will be making excuses to his children, he didn't lile that, not one bit. And he hates himself even more now. They don't deserve this kind of situation.

"Daddy daddy daddy!" Simone called out. they were eating dinner.

"Hmm? What is it munchkin?" He smiled sweetly to his baby girl. He was really inlove.

"I'm about to start school after summer! Isn't that cool?!" She said.

"Me too! Me too!" Pierre interjected.

The blond chuckled. "That's great, you two will do good, I'm sure." he said smiling

"Now you two, why don't you finish up, it's almost bedtime." Their mother said.

"Aawwww! But we still want to play with daddy!" Simone pouted. Cloud smirked at his daughter's antics.

"Don't worry baby, we'll play tomorrow, me, you and my little man right here." he said, ruffling Pierre's hair.

"Hey! Daddy!" His son protested while laughing.


Cloud offered to tuck his baby boy and girl for the night while Tifa did the dishes. She still have to stop at her bar to check on things. She called her regular sitter for the night so she can take Cloud to The Playpen.

"Okay squirts, get to bed." The kids happily did so. They each have their own bed, Simone's has pink butterflies in it, while Pierre's was blue and was loaded with baby chocobos. Above each of their headstands was their name,the wooden letters was i different colors. It made him smile and sad, suddenly thinking how much he had missed from their lives.

"Daddy?" Pierre said sleepily, he was really tired.

"Hmm?" Cloud went over to him.

"Are you gonna be here tomorrow?"

He kissed his son's forehead. "Yes big guy, I will be here." Pierre smiled.

"Goodnight." He kissed both of their foreheads and proceeded to the door when Simone spoke.

"I love you, daddy." Then she was asleep. Cloud smiled.

"I love you, too. Sweetheart."


"How did it go?" Tifa said wiping her hand dry.

"They we're knocked out." Tifa giggled. "Well, I'll go and get ready now? You do the same ok?" Cloud nodded.


They made their to the bar on his beloved fenrir. They parked in the front, it was a nice place, her bar. More colorful than Seventh Heaven, no doubt. The Playpen was indeed, looking like a playpen. It has many lights and it was big inside. He just realized how successful Tifa is with her business. It was definitely a high class place.

When they went inside, they were greeted by her staff. All of them stopped to take a look at him though.

One of the ladies who was wearing the uniform, a staff, was whispering in Tifa's ear. The martial artist whispered back, earning a surprised look from the woman, then looking back at him. He was not liking the attention.

"Okay everyone, meeting in the back in five."

"Yes ma'am!" Everyone said in chorus.

They held a small meeting at the back room, with Tifa asking questions about supplies and whatnot. But they weren't really paying attention to her, all eyes were on him. He wanted to get out.

"Hmmm." Tifa noticed this. She couldn't blame them, Cloud was indeed one of the hottest man that ever walked in the face of Gaia.

"This is Cloud by the way." She put her arms on his waist. He returned the gesture. "My boyfriend and the father of my children." She said proudly. Cloud blushed and nodded.

The women's eyes went wide. Tifa smirked.

"Pierre totally got his eyes!" One of the guys said.

"And Simone got his hair!" A woman said, giggling.

He was not liking the attention. He wanted to run home like a maniac and hide under the covers of Tifa's bed.

He scratched the back of his head. "Uhhh thanks." Tifa giggled.


"Thanks for taking me to the bar. "

"Every woman was into you, I can't blame them, you're totally... sexy." She said while opening the door.

He raised one eyebrow. "Really huh." he said smugly.

They went inside the door, then they were greeted by the sitter. Tifa paid her then she left. They made their way upstairs, Tifa slowly opened the twin's room, they both smiled when they saw that they were sound asleep. She silently closed the door. They made their way to Tifa's room and went inside, as soon as they entered, Cloud pinned Tifa on the wall, his face only inches from her. Tifa became breathless seeing the look on his face.

"You think I'm sexy?" He whispered seductively in her ear. She sighed.

"You have no idea." She whispered back.

Cloud growled then took her mouth in his hungrily.

Then a closing of a door was heard with a soft click.
