Epilogue
Tifa let out a loud huff as she placed the last of the Dumbapples into the sale baskets.
"You alright?" Axel asked. He gently rubbed his wife's back. "I'm sorry I didn't notice the pain you were in before."
"I understand why you did it." Tifa replied. "I shouldn't have been so hard on Genesis and Reno in the beginning."
"Speaking of." said Axel. "Guess who's visiting?"
"Hey." Reno walked over, a squirmy eight-month-old Cissnei in his arms. "The place looks good."
"Thanks." Axel smiled. "It helps that Angeal sent us an extra hand."
"Extra hand?" Genesis asked. "Who?"
"Hey, last basket." Kadaj put the huge harvesting tub down and straightened up, cracking his back.
"So this is where you've been." said Reno. "We were wondering when you didn't come bug us at the club last Tuesday."
"Last Tuesday?" Kadaj asked. "Oh, damn. It was Sephy's birthday, wasn't it?"
"Yeah. But it's cool. Someone else stopped by." Genesis replied. "Dressed in a purple dress and curled extensions."
Kadaj made a face as he tried to figure it out. "Cloud? I thought he'd hate that outfit."
"Yeah, well . . " Reno scratched the back of his head.
"What?" Axel asked.
"Thirty-nine weeks until Sephiroth and Cloud are one again parents." Genesis grinned. He sat beside Tifa and set little Light on the porch beside him. "Here, let me help with that." he said as he picked up an apple and placed it in one of the sale baskets.
"Thank you." smiled Tifa.
"So, how much longer?" Reno asked, setting Cissnei next to her brother.
"Any time." Axel replied. "Technically, there's four weeks left, but kids come on their own clock, you know?"
"Yeah, yeah." Reno replied. "And yes, I've got it memorized."
