Hello faithful readers, yes I am back with another chapter. I know what you all are thinking "Finally!" lol. As you know I had three tests I had to study for this week and the best way for me to concentrate on studying was to stay away from my lap top, so I disappeared for a little while. I'm back now, so on with the chapter. Disclaimer: I don't own FF7 or the characters. I'm just borrowing them.
Chapter 51
Angela woke a little early the next morning. She felt the bed shift a little as Vincent got out of bed. She watched him as he got dressed.
"Vincent." she said before he could open the door to leave.
He turned to see her lying there awake. "Did I wake you?"
"No, I woke up before you got out of bed. I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?" he asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Yesterday, what were you going to say about the baby?"
Vincent thought for a moment. "I'm not sure myself. I think it was along the lines of needing to protect him."
"Why didn't you say anything when I asked about-" she looked away and didn't continue. She couldn't bear to ask him the same question again. Vincent understood what she was talking about.
"I was shocked by the question and couldn't respond. I wasn't considering it I can assure you." he said as he got up to leave.
"Where are you going now?" she asked.
"Back to the WRO. I'm going to return the Shadowfox and get our stuff. We'll stay here until we get things straightened out. Rest for now, and please don't wander around unless you have someone with you." Vincent said.
"Don't worry. I'll keep Tifa nearby and Yuffie will be here later. Be warned, she's not going to be happy with you." Angela replied.
Vincent nodded. "Rest love." he said before leaving. Angela quickly fell back to sleep.
Angela woke up a little after 9:30 later that morning. She didn't know if Vincent was back yet so she decided not to take a shower yet.
'Have make up sex last night?'
'Does it look like we had make up sex last night?'
She looked around and found some fresh clothes waiting for her, but she frowned when she saw they were maternal clothes.
'Tifa must have made a quick run into town. I just hope she didn't over do it and buy me a whole lot.' she thought as she got dressed. She took a quick look at herself in the mirror before leaving the room.
'Aw, don't we look cute.'
Angela rolled her eyes as she opened the door and headed down the stairs. She grimaced as she heard glass breaking in the kitchen down there.
'I better stop Yuffie before this gets out of hand.' she thought as she made her way into the bar.
"Yuffie stop, that's enough." Cloud said as Angela entered the kitchen.
"Why so he can do it again? He needs to learn his lesson now!" Yuffie said as she raised the wine bottle to chuck at Vincent.
Angela came up behind her and took the bottle from her grasp, surprising her. "Cloud's right, that's enough. He didn't mean what he meant last night by remaining silent. He didn't know how to respond."
"If he coops you up in that place again I'll kidnap you personally." Yuffie said as she leveled a glare at Vincent.
"That won't be necessary Yuffie. We'll be staying here until this gets taken care of." Vincent said as he kept his distance from Yuffie.
"If you do that again, I'm going after you personally." Yuffie said pointing at Vincent and then left the kitchen.
Cloud let out a small sigh and turned to Angela. "Thanks for not letting her break that bottle. Beer is easy to replace, but not wine. Tifa would have had a fit."
"Not a problem Cloud. Besides, nobody beats the crap out of my husband without my permission." Angela replied.
Later in the day Angela explained fully what had happened to Yuffie, who then apologized to Vincent.
"Have you thought of any names yet?" Yuffie asked.
"We've agreed on a girl's name, but not a boy's yet." Angela answered.
"What's the girl's name?" Tifa asked as she leaned on the bar.
"Skylar May Valentine." Angela said.
"Awwww, that's such a pretty name." Yuffie said.
"Why can't you agree on a boy's name?" Tifa asked.
"If the baby is a boy, I want him named after Vincent, but Vincent won't agree to it." Angela explained.
"His full name?" Yuffie asked.
Angela nodded. "Vincent Taylor Valentine Jr."
"Awww, that's so cute." Tifa and Yuffie said in unison.
"I wonder which of his parents gave him the middle name Taylor." said Yuffie as Vincent emerged from the stairs.
"My mother." he said as he passed them and headed towards the kitchen.
"Let me talk to him Angela. I'm sure I can get him to change his mind." Yuffie said getting up from the bar stool and heading towards the kitchen.
"Good luck. I've been trying to change his mind for over a month." Angela said before Yuffie disappeared into the kitchen.
"Fine, be that way mister." Yuffie said as she reemerged from the kitchen. "Angela, I take back what I said about you being impossible when we were looking at dresses. He is impossible." Yuffie said pointing towards the kitchen.
"Anyway, Yuffie I think now would be the perfect time to go." Tifa said.
"Right! Angela, come on and grab your coat." Yuffie said.
"Why, where are we going?" Angela asked suspicious.
"Shopping for baby and maternity clothes of course." Tifa said.
"Vincent! Tifa and I are going to take Angela out for a bit!" Yuffie hollered.
Vincent emerged from the kitchen with a look of suspicion on his face.
"Don't worry, we won't take her out of town." Tifa said.
"Just don't be gone for to long. She shouldn't be on her feet for a long period of time." Vincent said.
"We won't!" Yuffie said as she put Angela's coat on her shoulders and steered her out the door.
"Hey, Angela how about these?" Yuffie asked approaching her with a few more garments.
Angela looked at them. The clothes had small dots on them to resemble materia. "Do you ever think about anything else besides materia?"
"Well then how about this one?" Yuffie asked.
"A girl can't wear that Yuffie." Angela said.
"Why? It's so cute." Yuffie replied.
"It has trucks all over it." Angela said.
Yuffie huffed and turned to put the clothes back where she found them.
"I've got some cute outfits picked out for you." Tifa said as she put the maternity clothes in the cart. "I see Yuffie talked you into some materia looking baby clothes."
"Yes, it couldn't be avoided. I think we have enough here." Angela replied.
"Angela." Yuffie said as she sheepishly held up one last garment of baby clothes. It was light blue and had a duck embroidered on the front of it.
"That is cute. Alright, but that's the last one." Angela said.
They were heading home as it started to snow. It got heavier as they continued on and Angela wished that she hadn't been drug out into it. She enjoyed the snow, but she hated being out in it when it was snowing as heavily as it was. Angela felt the hair on the back of her neck prickle a bit. She quickly looked to the rooftops of the surrounding buildings, but she didn't see anything.
'I hope it's just my imagination getting the better of me.' she thought as she continued on to Seventh Heaven with Tifa and Yuffie.
Angela just wanted to rest when they got back to Seventh Heaven. She let Tifa and Yuffie awe over the new bought baby and maternity clothes as she went upstairs to rest. When she entered she saw that the head of the bed was raised a little higher.
"It's so you can lay flat on your back to sleep and not have to worry about the baby." Vincent said from the side of the window he was looking out from. "I already checked with Dr. Kayne, and he said that it was alright."
"Thanks Vincent." she said as she sat down on the bed.
"How was shopping?" Vincent asked as he walked over and sat down next to her.
"Great. We got plenty of baby clothes to start with and I got some maternity clothes. They weren't cheap, but they stretch and I can grow into them." Angela answered.
"Hn, good." Vincent said as he put his right arm around her. He gently placed his gauntleted hand on her belly as she leaned into his shoulder, closed her eyes and sighed.
A/N: I'm going to go ahead and stop that chapter there. I may get another chapter up later, but I may watch Full Metal Alchemist instead. I just got the first season in the mail a couple of days ago, and I think I'm in love lol. Seriously, I may get another chapter up later, but it depends if I feel like writing again. R&R!
