Chapter 35

A storm had started up not to long after everyone went back inside after Jasmine had summoned the White Knight. She had gone upstairs to check on the kids, leaving Sephiroth to talk to make peace with everyone as well as learn more about the Jenova project that he wouldn't have been able to find out from reading the files in the basement of the Shinra manor. She was surprised when Sephiroth followed her to the bedroom she was borrowing, not long after she had entered it.

"How did it go?" she asked as she approached him.

"He blames himself for not being able to stop my mother from going through with it, but with Hojo having been there, I don't think she was given much of a choice on the matter. I don't think she really was as willing as Vincent said that she was. I think that she was forced to go through with it." He answered. He looked at her when she was in front of him. "You said you would tell me who my father was. Who is he?"

She took a deep breath before answering him. "I'm sure your going to be as shocked as I was when I learned about it. We both knew him, we just didn't know he was your father." She took another deep breath, afraid of what his reaction was going to be. "Your father is Hojo." She quietly told him.

Sephiroth's hands clenched and unclenched as he looked at her. "You mean to tell me, he did this to his own child?"

"He was an uncaring man Sephiroth. He only cared about his science and research." She placed her hands on both sides of his face. "You're not him."

"What if I become him? What if I become uncaring towards my own son?" he asked.

"Then I'll beat the crap out of you till you become yourself again." She smiled at him. "You were never like Hojo then Sephiroth. You're going to be fine."

He gave a her small smile, knowing that she was right. He gently pulled her into his arms, wrapping her in a hug. He laid his cheek against the top of her head, taking in the scent of her hair.

She nuzzled into his chest as he held her. "I missed you, so much."

"I missed you to." He said, placing a kiss on top of her head. "I love you."

She looked up at him. "I love you to."

He bent down, capturing her lips with his. She parted her lips, allowing his tongue to enter and explore her mouth. They enjoyed the intimacy of each other's mouths, remembering the tastes and textures of the others. Only stopping when they needed air.

"We shouldn't let it go to far. We are in someone else's home you know." She panted.

"I know. There is always the boat ride back home." He replied.

She couldn't help but smile at that statement. He was already thinking of her home as his. "I have connections in Junon. I'll give them a call tomorrow and find out when we'll be able to return home."

"Sounds like a plan." He replied as he pulled her towards the bed.

"I really missed this." She said as she snuggled next to him when they settled in.

He put his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. "This time, I'm not letting go." He whispered to her as they drifted to sleep.

Jasmine blinked at the morning rays that drifted in through the window.

"Good morning."

She jumped a little at the greeting. She looked to her right to find Sephiroth still in bed with her. "Good morning." She returned with a smile.

"Why did you jump?" he teased.

"I didn't expect you to still be in bed. You were always an early riser." She answered.

"Just because I'm still in bed doesn't mean I didn't wake up early." He replied.

"Then what have you been doing?" she asked.

"Watching you sleep. You drool a lot." He teased.

That earned him a playful hit with one of the pillows. "Get used to it." She teased back as she got out of bed.

"Do you think Jack is awake yet?" he asked as he followed her out of bed.

She looked at the clock that read 8:30. "With the storm having waked him last night, he'll probably sleep for another half an hour, hour at the most." She answered.

He nodded as he began to get dressed. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous as to how his son would react to finally meeting him. After they finished dressing he followed her downstairs.

"Good morning. Do you two want anything to eat?" Tifa greeted as they emerged in the bar area.

"Not right now Tifa thanks, but I would like to borrow your phone if I could." Jasmine answered.

"Sure." Tifa said. "It's on the right wall past that door." She pointed to the door that lead to the kitchen.

"Thanks." Jasmine said as she disappeared into the kitchen.

Tifa watched as Sephiroth leaned against the counter of the bar crossing his arms as he did so. "Would you like some coffee or something Sephiroth?"

He looked at her from where he was leaning. "No thank you." He looked at the door that Jasmine had disappeared behind then to the stairs. He wanted to see his son, but he didn't want to risk the chance of waking him. He also hoped that he didn't come down the stairs without Jasmine being there. He didn't know how to prepare meeting his son, and that bothered him.

"Sephiroth stop worrying." He turned to see Jasmine had returned. "He'll be ecstatic to meet you, I promise." She said as she approached him.

"How can you be so sure?" he asked.

"Because he's talked about meeting you since he could talk." She answered as she put her arms around him.

"Let's hope your right." He replied, as he put his arms around her.

Tifa was quite surprised at the affection that Sephiroth was showing Jasmine. When she had met him back in Nibelheim, she thought that he was a cold individual, but she understood now that he was that way because of his upbringing he most likely had. Unless you had approached him and talked to him, you wouldn't get to know him, which is what Jasmine had done when they weren't training together when they were still in Shinra. Because she had approached him, he willingly approached her and their love bloomed from there. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps on the stairs case.

'I really didn't think he would be up this early.' Jasmine thought as she disengaged herself from Sephiroth and found their son in the doorway, looking at them.

He seemed to hesitate before he spoke. "Dad?"

Sephiroth nodded. "Yes Jack, it's me."

There was no hesitation as Jack approached him and hugged him. "You have no idea how long I've waited to meet you."

"I know Jack." Sephiroth replied as he gently put his arms around his son. "And I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Jasmine ran her fingers through her son's hair as he hugged his father. "We'll be able to be home for your birthday Jack."

Jack looked up at his mother. "We're going to be leaving soon?" he almost looked upset by this.

She nodded. "In a couple of days. I know you made friends here, but we can always come back and visit."

"You really mean that?"

Jasmine nodded. "Yes."

"Yes." Sephiroth agreed, putting an arm around Jasmine as he continued to hug Jack. "We'll come back and visit together."

A couple of days later they left for Junon so they could return home. Jasmine had made sure to give Reno, Rude and Tseng a call to give her goodbyes, but decided that it was best they didn't know about Sephiroth's return and that he was going home with her. Cloud and the rest of AVALANCHE had agreed to keep quiet about everything that had happened. The group even saw the family off in Junon, Jack promising Denzel and Marlene that he would come back and visit whenever he could. It all seemed to soon to him when they had to board the ship and to leave.

The three spent the day out on the deck, enjoying the sun, sea air and each other's company. Jack took the opportunity to talk and get to know his father, hearing old stories about his past, Sephiroth deciding to save the story of Nibleheim for when he was older. They retired inside when night fell.

"He's asleep." Sephiroth said as he entered the living quarters he was sharing with Jasmine.

"He should be with all the fresh sea air he got today." Jasmine replied, smiling at him.

Sephiroth didn't waste time in closing the distance between them. When he got to her he started to devour her mouth as he backed her towards the bed. "I hope your up for a long night." He said when they had to part for air.

She smiled. "As long as its with you."
