A/N: It took longer than I thought to write this due to work and writer's block. Chapter 22 is in the works right now! This chapter is longer then the others, so enjoy! R&R

Normal POV

Your mind played the events you witnessed moments ago over and over like a movie. Tifa's lips on Cloud's, her body against his, her arms around his neck, and the look on her face was saying that she was enjoying every second of it. The image made you sick to your stomach. There is only one thing you can do now.

Leave.

You were packing your clothes and Zack's too of course. You packed the baby supplies that you would need. You didn't want to carry much you stuffed it all into a backpack. You put on the backpack and went into Zack's room. You approached the the crib and picked up Zack carefully.

"I'm sorry baby, but we're gonna have to leave for awhile." You kissed the infant's bald head.

Carrying Zack in your arms, you went downstairs to find Cloud and Tifa gone.

"Must be having some fun." You said disgustingly.

You placed Zack on the couch with no fear that he would fall since he can't move much anyway. You wrote a note to Cloud before your departure. Getting that done you placed the note on the kitchen table and went back to the couch. You picked up Zack and opened the front door. You looked around the house one last time before slowly closing it behind you.

You didn't know where you were going, but you knew one thing for sure.

You wanted to stay away from Cloud.

Cloud's POV

Taking a walk around the city made me feel a little better. I dreaded going home, knowing that Sarah had the wrong idea what happened between me and Tifa.

I still can't believe what Tifa did. I know she still likes me, but I thought she finally gave up during the geostigma crisis. I guess I was wrong.

I shouldn't have yelled at Tifa the way I did. I wasn't thinking straight at the time, but then again Tifa did kind of deserve it. She kissed me!

I have more then one person to apologize to and I know that. Question is will Sarah hear me out?

I stood in front of the door to my house. Beyond that door is a very angry and depressed Sarah. Turning the knob I let myself in. Something wasn't right when enter the house.

It was too quiet.

"Sarah?" I hollered.

No response.

I walked up the stairs into our bedroom and I was shocked at what I saw.

The drawers were open and clothes were scattered all over the floor. I panicked I ran into Zack's room.

He room was in the same state; drawers open and clothes everywhere.

"No..." I checked every room in the house, but could not find a trace of Sarah or Zack.

Distressed, I sat on the couch and buried my head into my hands.

Sarah left with Zack.

"This is all my fault. I hurt the most important person to me." The depression worsened as it dawned on me that Sarah left with Zack.

I decided to drink my troubles away as I went in the kitchen. Something caught my eye on the kitchen table. It looked like a piece of paper. I picked it up to realize it is a note from Sarah.

Cloud,

I'm sorry I couldn't give you what you want. I guess that makes me a horrible wife huh? Seeing that you're not home I left this note. I'm sure you just got home after fucking Tifa and the thought sickens me. I'm not coming home for a few days so do whatever you want. - Sarah

My heart stops beating after reading the note. Sarah truly believed I cheated on her. I have to find her and set things right, but where could she be?

Normal POV

You decided that you were gonna go back to your hometown Rocket Town. Cid lives there with his wife Shera. Your father and kids should welcome you with open arms.

After hitching a ride with a traveling couple you found yourself in front of your hometown. You walked through the familiar streets of home till you were knocking the door to your old house. Your father opened the door to find you standing there with Zack in your arms.

"Hi dad, can I stay here for awhile?" You asked quietly.

"Sure sweetheart, stay as long as you want." He opened the door wider so you could get in.

Later on after you settled in you explained your situation to your father.

"I don't know Cloud that well, but from spending time with him at the Golden Saucer I can tell he loves you more then anything on this planet. You never got to hear his side of the story." Your father said.

"You have a point, but how can I face him?" You asked.

"You can always call him ya know." Your father left you to ponder his words.

"I can give it a try." You picked up the phone from its receiver and began to dial Cloud's number.

You hand is shaking as you pushed down each number. Before you could finish dialing you hung up the phone.

"I can't do it; i'm afraid." You cradled Zack in your arms. You looked down at your sleeping child; a child that you and Cloud created together.

"I have to call Cloud; for Zack's sake if not mine." With new confidence you picked up the phone and dialed Cloud's number.

Cloud's POV

I could do nothing but sulk. Sulk at the fact that I may lose Sarah and Zack forever. As I am thinking this my cellphone started to vibrate in my pocket. I took it out, flipped it open and pressed the phone against my ear.

"Hello?"

"Cloud, we need to talk." It's Sarah's voice on the other end! So many thoughts went through my head at that moment. Is Sarah safe? How is Zack? Where are they?

"Cloud, I don't want Zack to suffer because of an affair. He deserves to have a father in his life. You understand how it feels to grow up without a father; please don't let Zack suffer." I heard her say.

"Sarah, do you really think I had an affair with Tifa?" I asked.

"I don't know what to believe." She said quietly.

"Believe me when I say this; I didn't cheat on you. Tifa was flirting with me and tried to get me to cheat on you. When I refused she kissed me; I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do. Then you walked in and got the wrong idea." I explained.

"So, Tifa made a move on you?" She asked.

"Yes, please come home Sarah." I begged.

"I don't know if I can believe you Cloud. The image of you and Tifa is forever burned in my memory." She sounded like she is near tears.

"I guess I don't deserve you or Zack. I've sinned way too much to deserve happiness." I sighed running my fingers through my hair.

"Cloud..." I heard her say.

"I guess this is goodbye then?" Just the thought of never seeing Sarah or Zack again is torture.

"Goodbye? Cloud, you can't be serious!" I heard her say.

"Well, you can have the house if you want; i'll just live back in the church." I said.

"Cloud! Are you asking for a divorce?" The thought of a divorce never crossed my mind.

"I thought you wanted a divorce?" I questioned.

"No, I just want the truth about you and Tifa." She said.

"I told you the truth!" I snapped.

"Look, this argument is getting us nowhere. I'll come home with Zack, but there are conditions." She said stated.

"What are they?" I asked.

"We can go over them when I get home. Goodbye Cloud." With that she hung up the phone.

Thanks to Cid and Shera, Sarah and Zack were able to come home in a matter of hours. She at the kitchen table drinking some coffee while I sat there waiting to hear her conditions.

"Okay, I made a list for you to look at." She handed me a piece of paper. I read the sheet in my hand.

Conditions:

We sleep in different rooms

No touching me

No sex

My heart broke in so many pieces from reading her conditions.

"So, we have a deal? I'm doing this for Zack's sake." She held her hand out.

"I can't do this." I said not looking at her.

"And why not?" She asked.

"I can't, you asking too much of me." I said

"Oh, is that so? Go to Tifa for all your pleasurable needs." She hissed.

"No!" I shot up from my chair.

"What?" She asked with a shocked expression on her face.

"When are you gonna realize that I didn't cheat on you?" I asked.

"The only person that can clear that up is Tifa." She said with no emotion.

"So, Tifa has to confess that it was her doing?" I asked.

"That's correct." She answered.

A plan formed in my mind. Only Tifa can convince Sarah that I didn't cheat on her. So, that means only one thing.

I must go see Tifa.

A/N: Like I said; chapter 22 is in the works, but I want to know if I should put in a lemon for chapter 23. Should I?
