Chapter 14

Noctis handed Tifa some tea while they sat on the kitchen table on his villa on Costa del sol. She had been exhausted from her sudden experience and he was doing everything to comfort her.

"Baby..." He said quietly. "Are you okay now?" Tifa glanced at his serious face then she cupped his cheek.

"I'm fine... I'm fine now... Just shocked, that's all..." She said then she took a sip of her tea before she carefully placed it back down the table. "It was so different when Cloud was telling me all those things, like... It didn't affect me too much but remembering it like that..." She said with a sigh.

"I know... I'm so sorry you had to go through that again..." Noctis said while he grabbed her hand. Tifa shook her head.

"It's not your fault... But, thank you for being there for me..."

"Of course." Noctis leaned forward to kiss her forehead.

"Speaking of which... What was that thing you want to tell me?" Tifa suddenly asked which caught Noctis off guard. He rubbed his throat before he cleared it, earning a raised eyebrow from his lover.

"Well... I don't think it's the right ti-"

"Noct." She said with a warning making him smirk. "Are you going to tell me that you have a child from an ex-girlfriend an-" She stopped when Noctis started laughing.

"No, no, I don't have a kid anywhere. I'm single, well, not anymore." He said with a wry smile, Tifa chuckled before she smacked his arm.

"Then tell me."

"Wait, what if I have a kid somewhere? Would you leave me?" He asked.

"What? Of course not." She said with a laugh. "Well, start talking mister."

"Alright then, remember when I told you that we came from Lucis?" He said, Tifa nodded. "Well, you see... It's a far away kingdom. And it's ruled by a royal family." He said then he pressed his lips together. Tifa narrowed her eyes.

"And?"

"Well..." Noctis awkwardly cleared his throat again. "My father... He's..."

"Yes?" Tifa said with an eyebrow raised, Noctis stared at her for a while before he spoke.

"He's the... King." Noctis said with a blank look on his face. Tifa stared at him, not yet processing what he had just said, then her eyes widened at an alarming rate with her mouth wide open when she realized it.

"So... so... so... If you're Father's the king... Then you're the..." She said but she couldn't go on.

"The prince... Yes." Noctis finished for her. Tifa stared at him with her mouth the perfect shape of 'o' making him smirk.

"You're kidding..." She whispered. Noctis shook his head.

"No." He said. Tifa released a loud breath. "And as the only son, I'm next in line for the throne, and if you're going to stay with me, and maybe in the future, we get married, you're going to be my-"

"Queen." Tifa said absentmindedly. "Oh Shiva..."

"That's why I'm giving you a headstart, I don't want you to hate me for not telling you sooner. It's your decision if you don't want to stay with me anymore." He said which made Tifa snap back to reality.

"No, it's not like that... It was just too much... That news, I mean..." She let out a nervous laugh. Noctis smirked.

"I know baby... That's why I wanted to tell you."

"Well, thank you for telling me, I should ask Yuffie stuff about ruling a kingdom." She joked with a smile. Noctis furrowed her eyebrows.

"Why Yuffie?" He asked.

"Because she's the princess of Wutai." Then her eyes widened again. "Oh my Gods... Why do I know that? When did I remember that?" She asked herself.

"Wait?! Yuffie is the princess of Wutai?!" The voice of Prompto made the lovers jump, then the heard a hand colliding with flesh and a yell of pain.

"Idiot." it was Gladiolus.

"Who told you could EAVESDROP?!" Noctis yelled angrily before his friends emerged from the door. Tifa started chuckling with an amused expression.

"Is that true Tifa? Yuffie is a princess?" Prompto asked, Tifa nodded.

"She's a princess? She doesn't look and act like one." Ignis said as a matter of factly while adjusting his glasses, Prompto glared at his direction.

"What the hell are you saying?! Yuffie is a beautiful being! She's perfect in every way!"

Someone's lovestruck. Tifa thought with a smirk, Just then, her phone rang so she fished it out of her pocket. She flipped it open and she smiled when she saw that it was Cloud calling and pressed a button to answer it.

"Hey Cloud." She said, Noctis looked at her with his eyebrows furrowed, he was still jealous of the blond and he hated himself for it but he couldn't help it.

"Hey Teef, how are you? At you at the villa already?" The blonde asked.

"Yes, anything wrong?"

"Nothing... Except, I've got news."

"Really? What is it?"

"...Aerith's pregnant." He said, Tifa gasped with a smile then she started squealing making the four people with her jump.

"Oh that's amazing! I'm going to be an Aunt! How great is that?!"

"Aerith's pregnant?!" Prompto asked.

"Wow, congratulations!" Gladiolus exclaimed.

"A blessing indeed." Ignis said.

"Everyone says hi and congratulations!" Tifa told her bestfriend who chuckled.

"Tell them thanks. And thank you too."

"For what?"

"For being my friend. I miss you so much Teef..." Cloud gently said, Tifa's face softened.

"I miss you too, and the kids. Say hi to them for me okay?"

"I will. I'll call you again alright. Bye."

"Bye." Then Tifa flipped her phone shut. "Oh, this is so exciting! A baby!" She faced her lover who she noticed was scowling. "Hey, you okay?" Noctis snapped his head towards her then he gave her a small smile.

"I'm fine baby... Just tired..."

"Oh, take a rest for now okay?" Tifa said while she massaged his shoulder making him groan. "Go, chop chop. I need to prepare dinner now, I'm going to the market."

"Oh! I'm coming with you!" Prompto piped. Tifa smiled then nodded.

"Sure! Let's go." Tifa kissed Noctis on the lips before she walked past him. Ignis and Gladiolus followed behind Tifa and Prompto leaving the prince alone. He sighed when he thought how selfish he was being for getting jealous all the time, but he couldn't help it, Tifa was his and he was just being possessive.

Maybe taking her to Lucis was the best idea after all.

A/N: Thanks for the reviews everyone.
