Sephiroth looked at Aeris as she sauntered into their bedroom so Ume fussed a bit. Aeris stopped apologetically,
she rubbed her hands together as she gazed directly into the General's militant stare. Aeris folded her arms behind her
back as she turned to glance at the crescent moon, and put her hand on her hip as she lifted a finger up.
" Oh no, mister Sephiroth. We are having this talk now! "
" Fine not here though. She feels sick still from Ume's birth."
" Fine, you better tell her you have to go."
" Nevermind, follow me. I will cut a path."
Sephiroth then grumbled discontent as he extended his hand as the Masamune flickered into view, and Aeris stood a
moderately respectful distance from his sword's blade. Sephiroth twirled the blade with expertise as it rose diagonally
as he cut through the air, unleashing torrents of soul rendering cries. Aeris was dazed as she spun a few times, stricken
as she heard the agonizing cries to speed off. Sephiroth caught her wrist, to admonish her with slight disapproval.
" Heed yourself Aeris, this isn't Midgar. "
" Yes, why do you still carry a physical Masamune when you can manifest yours? "
" Depends on the views. "
Aeris's eyes rounded as her soft hand still held onto Sephiroth's pauldron, yet his glances were to a road as he cut
down the hazy apparitions. Aeris's face became downcast as she was overwhelmed by the fleeing entities, and she cried out
to Sephiroth. Yet, he was far occupied more with bringing down ever increasing numbers of the spiritual tornado. Growling,
he hissed vengefully, " Away from Tifa and Ume, you rot."
Aeris whispered back to the General, " They aren't after them Sephiroth. "
" I am sure they are disgruntled by their demise. Cowards, they attack the most innocent. "
" This happened after you changed Nibelheim's fate. You replaced my duty. "
Sephiroth startled violently as Aeris chastised him. He shook his head so that strands of his forelock blew into the
breezes. He marched forward slowly so he forged a path that Aeris followed until they reached a quiet plateau.
" Stubborn man! He keeps injuring these souls who are harmless!" She thought to herself.
Aeris laid her hand on his coat's hem as she tried to reach Sephiroth who was breathing heavily, his sides heaving as
he lowered his masamune, bowing his head as he focused on Tifa and Ume. Aeris now saw glimpses of the most private of the
General's experiences and emotions. She saw Professor Hojo torture him with mako injections until he learned not to cry
out and was pokerfaced. Sephiroth was a small boy, barely 5 when he saw a blackish gold Chocobo he raised was taken away
to an auction. Hojo labeled him a failed experiment for years when Sephiroth sought his acceptance, unconsciously aware
that was his biological father. She saw Sephiroth hold Tifa tightly at a moonlit window, whispering.
" You indeed have connected me to my memories, which Hojo suppressed through mental torment, medication, and manipulating
my recall through the Jenova and conditioning. Why as a child, I was raised in this lab, and I would see Mt. Nibel from my
cell, hoping for death from pain to join the spirits. Tifa, why the tears? We searched for your mother's spirit here over
the years, and she is no monster or trapped in Mt. Nibel."
Tifa lifted her tear stained face to Sephiroth's angelic one, as she twisted the straps across his chest, her mouth
in a silent scream, as she buried her cheek against his heartbeat. She wept as she admitted.
" Claudia and my mom were best friends. She said Tiffany, my mom, spent less time to raise a worthless brat who didn't
care about life since it was a game to me. I was a human monster who liked getting children killed since I was uncaring,
and reckless with lives people cherished. She said my mom died ashamed at my sins from leading the other town kids across
the bridge. My dad broke their friendship for an overindulged brat. She said my mom became a monster from mako for my sins
and why I got sick, and abused by the doctors. Claudia said she would never be at peace, and since Cloud was her only son
and child. She said he joined Soldier for me, and please for her sake to leave Cloud alone."
Apparently, Tifa's words reached Sephiroth's very core of his manly heart as he murmured.
" Tifa, since you know him, this is private. He never made Soldier, just Shinra Security. Zach felt he was a liability so
the fairest job one he could do safely. He didn't even impress Zach who was rooting for him. I wasn't either. I checked
for Cloud's dad and he was never killed or reported missing, just absent."
Aeris's mouth puckered to a small o as she kept watching the intense memory play before her. Tifa had peeled off her
clothes and Sephiroth disrobed after, he shook his head stating.
"You are barely the legal age. You'd graduate academy level, and I university. Are you so sure you desire me so? "
Tifa answered by pinning the General under her with an acrobatic move, and kissed his so deeply he panted for
said quietly, " Yes. Just let me ride you like a Chocobo. "
Sephiroth was groaning as Tifa rose and slammed down on his hips, he rose his knees to her hips as their bodies became
one, moving into one fluid motion. Sephiroth rolled atop her, until her hymen broke, and he kept thrusting his hips
forward until Tifa was so in ectstasy she was lolling near lifelessly while Sephiroth frenched her, massaging her breasts,
and later quietly holding her.
" Oh no, what I didn't use birth control? "
" You are my first love my dearest angel. I will marry you either way when you wish, and especially if you are with child.
You could do me no greater honor. "
Aeris was flushed from seeing their first experience of procreation. " He didn't rape her as Cloud feared. They both
really love each other. This really sucks for Cloud. After Claudia's words, why would she ever be with Cloud? Stil, Seph
really isn't meant to lead the Lifestream as a guardian. He may have averted Nibelheim's destruction to inherit the
Lifestream. Seph can lead Soldier, not the Lifestream..Got to make this right before these lost souls are scared away."
Aeris's hand reached out to another smoky spiritual plume as her fingers traced its outline.
" Please don't be scared. Tifa?"
Aeris saw Tifa below her, terrified that Ume was going to die. Sephiroth had wrapped his arms around her as he embraced
her and pressed her forward, again and again. Tifa's cervix dilated, and she was screaming with agony as Ume tried to
pass. Marle shouted that the baby was at least 9 pounds and Tifa was still a teenage girl. Marle put a limp Tifa's feet
into the stirrups of an elegant birthing room. Sephiroth saw a doctor take forceps to plunge into Tifa's birth canal as
Ume's head crowned. As the doctor slapped Ume to screech, he declared, " Well General, it's a baby girl. "
" I am so proud of you Tifa. You are the best mother. "
Sephiroth tied Ume's placenta, and held her in his arms as he embraced Tifa who had fainted. Sephiroth then took a
scrubbed Ume to Brian, Marle, Zach, and Director Lazard who cheered wildly, applauding and hugging the young couple. Tifa
found Ume placed in her arms to suckle her first feeding when Sephiroth stepped back to photograph them.
" This is the picture Zach sent me. That is no clone, Tifa Lockheart herself."
Aeris then blinked back tears as she felt Tifa's joy at being a new mother since Tiffany died at Tifa's age 8. Sephiroth
was equally overjoyed that their child would have the benefit of being loved and accepted as she was. She wasn't pushed to
feel bad as Tifa had been due to Claudia nor was this child a failed Shinra experiment as Sephiroth had come to believe
of himself. Later, aware that Shinra Turks were enroute to the Manor he bought. Sephiroth was trying to dress Tifa in her
shorts as her legs slid in every direction. Marle tried her best to tug Tifa's bra and shorts on so they could leave to
Brian's. Marle's mouth opened wordlessly in disbelief as Tifa's bra popped open and her shorts refused to zip up as the
General held her up.
Tifa opened her eyes, glazed in pain as she moaned." Sephy I am too sore to close my legs."
She passed out as Sephiroth nodded as he stated," Put your legs aroud my waist. I will carry you home. "
Sephiroth let Tifa piggyback him as her full, lactating breasts pressed tightly to his back and were rubbed sore by his
leather coat. Her long legs were open wide, and Sephiroth was enraged as cameras snapped Tifa's breasts jiggling. He took
his Masamune to slash swiftly so the cameras exploded at its tip. Sephiroth then laid Tifa down in her bed as Brian opened
and shut the door for Sephiroth.
" My baby girl had a baby. She's just 17 Sephiroth. It will break her heart when you leave for duty."
" I am aware Brian, may I ask your blessing to have her hand in marriage when she asks.?
Brian Lockheart's mouth opened in shock as he was thought he would never hear this Tifa suffered a bad reputation from
her experience in Midgar. " Yes why of course, she had a crush on you for the longest time. You inspired her to do more
why she does so much for the local kids here with Zangan at the dojo. You know that dark dragon you trained to talk and be
a war steed? He's still here, I bought him for Tifa, and so is your chocobo Despair."
Sephiroth blinked back tears of gratitude on so many levels. His voice was a near whisper as he managed to find his
voice again." Why thank you, these are all blessings I will treasure, and I vow never to leave Tifa or our baby. I will
have to clear conditions with Lazard to make Tifa happy to feel safe. I bought Shinra Manor for her."
Brian Lockheart stared back at Midgar's most cherished idol as a war hero over Wutai. He thumped Sephiroth loudly on
the back as he disclosed. " Tiffany always wanted Tifa to be happy, be a bride, and have a family. I think she was ther
today, watching from the Lifestream."
" Thank you Tiffany for mothering a living angel as my bride. I hope you visit our little angel, Ume. "
Brian opened the door as Zach, Zangan, Marle, and a calico kitten, Corel, snuck inside. They deposited Tifa's clothes
and bags as Brian chuckled," Tifa got a kitten for Ume. Hope that's ok."
Zach laughed hard, so he bent over as he regarded Sephiroth with a bit of unease." You know Tifa admired you first, and
Cloud did next to try to impress her. This is kind of going to mess with his mind, Sephiroth. "
Those thoughts seemed to play into Aeris's mood and her sense of fairness. She had to admit she had seen Sephiroth
tortured as a child when she saw him bandaged from Hojo's experiments. She saw him leave Shinra Building with a basic
Shinra infantry uniform when he was just 12. When she was 12, she was reading Planetology books, and she grew plants
with Elmyra. She felt such an exceptional pain and isolation from Sephiroth; these lost souls were drawn to his sense of
order. They think he is going to guide them past the Lifestream the way he guided his troops to safety and victory. Aeris
stamped her feet, and growled a small bit.
" Sephiroth! You slipped away somewhere! Come settle this score, now! "
" Not now, Aeris. You hear my voice? "
" Yes! You hear mine, and others in the Lifestream can hear you too! Grr, you are confusing them. Come here! "
" Another day, then. Farewell for now. "
Aeris angrily tore through some of the small tendrils as she sought Sephiroth, she realized he was clever enough to
disguise his Lifetream with the millions of others to avoid detection.
" I hate to interrupt his leave from Soldier for Ume.I have to speak to Tifa myself. "
Aeris went to the dragon bonsai as she wove her hands into the branches avoiding thorns. She saw Tifa holding Ume as
Lazard explained the photos and mentioned in a low tone.
"Did he die from mako poisoning from Ultima? "
Aeris saw another memory from Tifa, Sephiroth winking her as he let her examine the Amor Diamond. Sephiroth smiled a
radiant grin as he presented it to her. Tifa squealed as she nodded as he knelt down, and added." Your father gave us his
blessing. "
Aeris shared another as Sephiroth was chuckling as a young girl, wrapped in a furry hooded cape, announced, " I
stop all evildoers! Hold your ground! "
" Why, the famed Wutai warrior Yuffie Kisaragi who wishes to own all materia..."
" Yeah and you are.." Yuffie paled as she recognized the General."
" Please don't be so afraid. Our nations negociated peace, you can have this small black materia if for the Amor. I already
know the Amor materia was used up by you. "
" Well ok. I have a few diamonds same design not that pink though. The materia got wasted." Yuffie giggled.
