Recap: Terra stood outside the outskirts of Midgar her Blond hair blowing slightly in the breeze. Dende stood beside her. Terra looked up at the tall building, "It's now or never Dende. We could easily be killed." Dende looked at her thoughtfully. Then nodded, "Cathreine's worth it." Terra didn't respond she just began to walk towards the city. Little did the two warriors know that there was a surprise awaiting them inside.
~~o0o~~
"Dende move your green ass!"
"Sorry!"
Terra rolled her eyes and continued to crawl through the air vent. Terra sighed in relief as she saw the vent grid ahead of her. She kicked it open and flipped to the ground……….only to have a mako gun be pressed to her head. "Eep! Uncle Reeve?!" Terra asked. Reeve relaxed seeing his niece, "T-chan……..i'm glad you're here." Terra opened her mouth to say something but was silenced by Dende's voice, "Oof! Ow! Terra I'm stuck, could you help me?" Terra looked up and extended her hand pulling Dende from the vents, "You're impossible……."
"What!?"
Reeve shook his head and turned to Terra, "Terra there's an emergency and I need to see you right away." Terra nodded and turned to Dende, "Dens you're gonna hafta go get the revive materia on your own. Now you just go down the hall and make a left don't let anyone see you k? And remember we need two…." Dende shook his head violently, "I can't Ter……"
"Yes you can! Just think of Cat-chan. Dens please?"
Dende sighed and nodded before sneaking down the hall. When he was out of sight Terra turned to Reeve. He stood their with a grim and guilty look on his face, "Terra I'm sorry………..first of all for Geri. Your mother told me what happened and I can promise you kids that she will not be like this ever again when I'm through with her." Terra nodded, "I know Uncle but right now that's not important what's the emergency?" Reeve's face was clouded with guilt, "They did it again……I-I-I'm sorry Terra They never told me!" Terra felt everything around her stop. "What did they do again Reeve?! Tell me!!!" Reeve tried to open his mouth and say something but he felt as if he had a block in his throat keeping him from speaking at all. Terra glared at him and stormed into the room he had come out of.
Terra looked around the room, test tubes, and beakers littered the floor. The room reeked of medicines, chemicals and urine. This was Hojo's lab. Hojo, Sephiroth's maniac father. Terra looked around the room and her eyes fell upon a beaker mako spilling from it. She walked to it and the ratty crib beside it. She looked inside to find an infant. She looked into his eyes and saw her own. He was malnourished and scrawny. But still unbelievably cute. He'd been crying that was obvious. He looked up at Terra his lavender hair falling into his eyes. At first he cringed slightly when Terra reached down to him, but when he was slapped and instead a gentle touch pushed his hair from his eyes he relaxed welcoming the much wanted touch. Terra smiled at him lovingly. She reached down to him and pulled him into her arms. He hiccuped slightly another sign of his unattended cries.
"Terra?"
Terra turned to see Reeve behind her, "He's like Kitonya……..isn't he?" Reeve nodded his head, "Yes and no………By yes I mean you are his biological mother, but Gohan isn't his father." A look of confusion spread over her face, "Then who……"
"Sephiroth is."
Reeve regreted just blurting it out and tried to apologize. Terra stared at the ground ~Why aren't I surprised I should be in shock.~
"Terra…"
~Because you knew it from the moment you saw him. Even before that.~
The voice in her head seemed familiar yet distance. It had always been there from the time she was born.
"Terra?"
~You expected it. You were like that with Kitonya too. You also know about Cargo don't you Terra?~
"Terra!?"
Terra snapped from her trance and looked at Reeve. She opened her mouth to speak but was silenced by another voice, "Ter I got them!" Terra turned to see Dende holding the two silver orbs grinning. "Jesus," he said lifting his raw hand, "The mako hurts your arm like hell!" Terra nodded, "Why do you think I had my arm in bandages the few months before the Christmas I brought Goku back?" Dende looked at her dumbly, "I thought you got you caught in a blender or something….." Terra and Reeve stared at him. Terra broke the silence, "Dende, hun, if I got my entire arm caught in a blender I wouldn't have an arm."
"Oh…hey who's the little guy?"
Dende smiled at the baby and put his finger under his chin, which only got him a nasty glare and a slight growl from the infant, "Coochy choochy ack! It tried to bite me!" Terra shook her head, "It doesn't have any teeth Dende…….now let's go before someone sees us." Dende nodded and followed his friend from the building.
~~o0o~~
"We're almost out……"
Dende followed Terra carefully. The door was right in font of them. Suddenly, "Aw isn't this sweet my worst enemy playing with my child." Terra snnarled and turned to face him, "He's my child not yours." Terra handed the bundle to Dende, "Go this is between the two of us not you Dens." Dende nodded and ran from the building. Terra smiled her eyes changing again, "Care to try thisssss danccccce again SSSSephy?" Sephiroth smirked his eyes also changing to the reptilian kind, "Yesssss dear one……why don't we?"
"Huh!?"
~~o0o~~
Dende watched as Terra's body came out through a closed window hitting the ground with a sickening thud. He was about to run to her when he saw the massive black Dragon break through the doors to the Shinra HQ. "Oh shiiiiiiit!!!" he said hiding back in the cave behind him. Terra instantly transformed this time. The cerulean colored dragon lifted her claws to the black one's neck only to be swiped away with it's tail. Dende could hear the distinct cracking as Terra's shoulder shattered. She let out a pained howl. She rolled to her back in a submissive position Sephiroth smirked and punched on her. He stood over her, not attacking. Terra laid there her eyes glowing and narrowed. She growled and his with hate. He laughed as she flared her claws and attempted to strike at him. In one hand he grabbed her smaller claws and slashed at her face leaving sevral deep gashes. Terra howled and rolled o her side hiding her face and exposing her back. Sephiroth jumped away and kicked her with both of his back legs sending her flying into a mountain.
"Terra!!"
Terra pulled her self to her feet and glared at him through one eye. "What's wrong Terra no fight left!?"
Another voice echoed in her head a voice from the past,
"What's wrong Messsssssiah no fight left dear?!"
Terra shook her head in pain to hear two new voices, "Yahoo! Get her Papa!!!" Terra looked at the building to see two children one was Trunks' age with silver hair cut short and spiked the other was Kitonya's age. Her resemblance to Terra's daughter was unbelievable, but her eyes gave her away. They were the same insane eyes Terra had seen in her nightmares. Both children had those eyes. Terra snarled and pounced at the black dragon her claws flared aiming for his neck. Sephiroth smiled and merely smashed her with his tail before she even came close. Terra was sent spiraling through the air landing on her stomach.
"NO TERRA GET UP!!"
Dende's cries went unheard. Terra tried to stand only to fall again. Sephiroth pounced and once again stood over Terra laughing proudly. Terra's one eyes opened and she twisted to her back. She plunged her claws into his soft belly. Sephiroth's screech carried through out the mountains. Terra pushed against him sending him to his back. She pounced upon his and tore a hole in his neck and ripped him open with her back claws. Blood splattered on her cerulean body. "PAPA!!! No Leave him alone wench!" Terra was knocked back by the boy. She glared at him as he unsheathed his sword with a single swipe of her tail he was sent careening into the shinra building. "Nuka!" the girl screamed and ran to his side. She tried to help him to his feet but was pushed away, "I am fine Zukumei!" Terra stood and looked to Dende. She spread her bruised and battered wings and bent her neck so the namek could crawl up onto it. With a few flaps Terra was airborne and in less then a minute out of sight.
"That didn't go to well" a voice said from behind the children. Both looked to the cloaked figure and shivered, "Mother I….."
"Shut up Nuka I don't need your worthless excuses. Go get your father!"
The boy nodded and obliged to his mother's request. "Zukumei! Get inside now!" the woman growled. The little girl nodded and ran inside. The woman looked back to where Terra once stood. She pulled back her hood revealing her young face. Her cruel insane, mako eyes glowed evilly. She smiled and pulled a hand through her blond hair, "Just wait Messiah your time will come."
~~o0o~~
"What now?"
Terra looked at her sister's grave, "We dig her up." Dende made a slight face before joining Terra in digging.
~~o0o~~
Terra looked at the coffin and pryed the lid off. There lay Cathreine the sight of her dead sister brought tears to her eyes again. Terra merely shook it off and took the silver orb from Dende. It began to glow violently. Tears fell to the earth below and Terra whispered, "Come Back to me Cathreine."
In a flash the orb disappeared and the two teens stood there watching. Dende bent down and pulled her from the coffin and into his lap. Tears splattered against her cheek, "Cat-chan please?" Then it happened ………….Cathreine took a breath. Then her eyes fluttered open. "Terra? Dende?" her voice was tired. Terra felt weak she wrapped her bruised arms around her sister's neck, "Don't ever do that to me again." Cat nodded numbly and stood. Dende supported her for her legs were still very weak. They helped her from the deep grave and supported her as they wlaked to the house. To find it gone. Terra stood their numb, "They moved again…….damn it!!!!" Dende sighed and helped Cathreine onto his chocobo, "We better start looking."
"Wait!"
Dende looked back to Terra who now held a syringe in her hand, "Cat, you now what this is right?" Cat stared at it and nodded. Terra sighed, "Cat-chan you know if I give you this there is not much hope for anyway of abortion." Cathreine looked at the ground and then to Dende. He had tears on the edges of his eyes, "It's you body Cat……….if you don't want this baby, I'll understand." Cathreine looked to her sister and extended her arm, "I'll take the shot." Terra smiled and injected her with it. She looked up into her eyes, "The countdown begins, your were a month pregnant, so that's 8 more days Cat."
~~o0o~~
"Why can't you just turn into a dragon and let us ride on your back Terra?"
"If you hadn't noticed Dende I am hurt and I don't feel like having anyone riding on my back, specially Whale Woman."
"Shut up Angel!"
"Don't call me that!!!!"
The 3 warriors had been walking and riding for 6 days and Cat's pregnancy was defiantly obvious. The baby that currently slept against Terra cooed happily in his sleep. Terra smiled down at him and murmured his name to him, "Gotenk." Dende mumbled under his breath, "Stupid bitch……" Terra snarled, "I heard that Namek!" Dende stopped his chocobo, "Listen whore! I am in no mood to put up with your bull shit! Ok? So take your bastard Child and leave me alone!" Dende hopped down from the large golden bird and began to guide it through the brush. Terra's eyes glowed, "You wanna start something…………Orphan?" Dende whirled around, "That's it!" Terra placed Gotenk down and held her hands up, "You wanna piece of me?!"
"Yeah!"
Terra's eyes glowed slightly before the turned into their reptilian state. She morphed and pounced at Dende with a vicious screech.
"Die you dissssssssssgussssssssting sssssnail!"
"Get away Bitch!"
"Come 'ere you ssssssssssnake! Hissssssss!
"Take this asshole!"
"Guys stop!!!"
"Ouch!"
"Hehe! Take that you orphaned ssssssslug."
"Terra! Dende! Enough!"
"ARRRRRRRGH!"
"Take that Bitch!"
Cathreine growled in frustration and then smirked evilly,
"Ow! Contraction!!!"
"HUH!?"
"WHAT BUT YOU NOT DUE FOR TWO MORE DAYSSSSSSS!!!"
Both warriors rushed to their friend. Terra immdiately transformed back to her normal self. Cat was clutching her stomach and sounded like she was crying, but then Terra realized……..she was laughing! "Huh?" Cathreine looked up at her mate and Sister, "Are you two done now?" Terra glared at her, "Why of all the low down, rotten, stinkin' tricks!" her glare was replaced by a proud smile, "You are learning!"
~~o0o~~
"I'm tired."
Terra nodded, "Where the hell are they!!??" Dende shrugged and looked at the hill in front of them.
Suddenly,
"Say it! Say it namek!!!"
"No! Never! Ow!!! Ok! ok!! Uncle! UNCLE! Come on Kitty mercy please!!!"
Terra smiled at the familiar voices, "Kitonya!!" Terra rode the exhausted Chocobo up the hill. Over the hill rested a large house. Only two people were in sight. One was a young girl and the other a small namek with a long brown tail.
Kitonya stood and dusted herself off smirking proudly. Suddenly a voice brought her out of her thought, "Kitonya!!" Kitty looked up the hill to see a young woman hope off her chocobo and come running down the hill. Kitonya's eyes filled with happiness, "MAMA!!! DADDY MAMA'S BACK!!!" Kitonya raced to her mother and was scooped up into her arms. "Mommy!" she said nuzzling her face into her mother's chest. "Terra!?" Gohan raced from the house and nearly tackled his girlfriend.
"Ack…….Go…..han……sweetie?………Terra's…..gotta breath…..dear."
"Sorry…."
Dende stood at the top of the hill he smiled up at Cathreine. "Here we go Babe," he whispered as he led his bird down the hill. "You ready?" she asked as she held her stomach protectively. Dende nodded.
"I love you Dende."
"Love you too Babe….."
"Oh and Dende…."
"Yeah?"
"Don't call me Babe!"
~~o0o~~
The Next day…….
"Terra you really shouldn't have……"
Terra smiled. "Aw come on Cat it's just a baby shower." Cathreine shook her head, "But I……" Terra silenced her, "Just sit down!" Cathreine nodded and blushed. She was talking to Videl when a voice rang out, "I'M GONNA BE A DAD!!! *HIC* WHOOOOHOOOOO!!" Everyone looked to see a very happy and drunk Dende run through the room in his boxers with a pair of pants on his head. Geri and Sky Highwind burst into hysterics. Terra and Cat simply sat there with their jaws hanging. Dende ran from the room screaming, "I'M A FATHER *HIC* WHEEEE!!!! *HIC* I AM THE LIZARD QUEEN!!!" Suddenly Gohan, Jet Highwind, Mikey, and Seto, Nanaki's and Kita's first cub, burst in chasing Dende. "Dende put your shirt back on!!" Jet yelled chasing him. "Dende wait up!" Seto shouted running after him. Mikey sighed and followed his friends. Gohan looked at Terra and smiled some what drunkenly, "Hi ya T-chan!" Terra growled, "Go get him!!!" Gohan nodded and ran from the room his gait somewhat off balanced
The group looked at each other and sighed in sync. Terra looked up and mumbled, "5….4….3….2…..1." She pointed to the other room just Piccolo's voice screamed,
"DENDE?! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOUR FUCKING PANTS?"
"I'M NOT DENDE *HIC* I'M THE LIZARD QUEEN."
"LIZARD QUEEN MY ASS! GET SOME PANTS ON!!"
"HAHA! SILENCE YOU MEASLEY PEE ON!"
"WHAT!?"
"*HIC* OH NO THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!! DADDY HIDE ME!!
"WHAT!? DENDE GET THE HELL OF ME!! DENDE!!!"
~~o0o~~
"My head hurts."
"That's cause your having a hangover dumb ass."
Dende glared at Terra and looked out the window snow poured down the pane. Cathreine was curled up against him fast asleep. They were the only ones home 'cept for the little kids. Aeris had promised them that they'd be home in an hour or so. Sleepiness clouded his mind and he felt himself drifting. He opened his eyes to see Terra had also fallen asleep. He smiled and soon joined them both in them in the land of nod.
~~o0o~~
Dende awoke a few hours later to a pained yell. He opened his eyes to see Cathreine holding her swollen stomach her eye closed in pain. "Cat?!" he asked. Cathreine gripped his hand and looked at him with tears filled eyes, "Dende……..it's time!!" Dende felt his eyes nearly fall from his face. "Shit!!! Terra wake up!!!" Dende ran to her friend and shook her awake.
"Huh?………..Dens? What the hell is wrong wit you it's 2 in the morning!"
"Cat's going into labor get up and get Malcom!"
"Shit!!!"
Terra sprung up from her chair and ran to the door. She flung it open. Only to see a large wall of packed snow in front of her. Some snow fell and hit her in the face. Terra smiled nervously and looked to Dende, "We got a slight prob here Dens." Dende looked up to see the snow barrier, "You gotta be kidin' me!!!" Cathreine sat on the ground and whimpered in pain, "Guys!? I don't think we have time to dig out!" Terra turned to face her, "What are we gonna do then!!!???" Dende sat behinD Cat and pulled her into his lap nuzzling her neck comfortingly. Cat looked up at Terra, "Your gonna have to deliver the baby Ter."
"Me!? But I………I dun know how!"
"Terra please! It hurts so much!!!"
Terra looked into her sister's frustrated eyes and sighed. Terra left the room and came back with a pair of surgical gloves, a blanket, and a handful of towels. Terra sat in front of her sister, "I can't believe I'm doing this…… Ok…………here we go. Spread you legs Cat."
Cathreine listened to her sister's advice and sat there. A half an hour later Cathreine's contraction we're getting worse.
"Ok…….Cat I'm gonna need you to push!"
Dende's face was pale and tired. He held Cathreine hand and whispered to her lovingly. Cathreine screamed at a massive contraction and squeezed Dende's hand until a cracking sound issued forth. Dende's eyes widened and he bit his lip in pajn. Terra was to focused on her task to notice.
"Ok Push!"
"Dear god!!! I'm gonna fucking rip you fucking face off if you dun get the this fucking baby the fuck out of me Terra!!!"
"I think I'm gonna puke……."
"DENDE THAT DOESN'T HELP!"
"I see it's head…"
Cathreine screamed and her hair crackled gold and her eyes turned green and she gave it one last push. Suddenly a wailing filled the air. And the pain was gone.
Terra held the infant and looked into his eyes……….the child had gotten her eyes. He looked like his father with his mother's mouth and a tiny brown tail which curled around his Aunt's wrist with fright. His antenna were folded against his face, so used to being that way from being so pressed and confined in his mother's womb, sticking to him from the birth fluid that still stuck to his tiny green face. Terra looked up at Cathriene and Dende and smiled, "Congrats……It's a boy." She wrapped the infant in a towel and handed him to his mother. Cathreine had already begun to cry. She held him and cuddled him until his tears stopped. "Mommy?" Terra turned to see Kitonya standing there in her pjs, "Why is Aunt Cathreine screaming is she hurt?" Terra smiled and shook her head She put the blanket over Cathreine who had been placed on a couch. Kitonya walked to her aunt and looked inside the small bundle, "Is that Aunt Cat's new baby?" Terra nodded and wrapped her arms around her daughter. Kitonya smiled, "He's cute……..but he looks all smushed." Terra rolled her eyes and held her closer. Terra heard Cathreine and Dende whisper the child's name and forced her self to control her shock,
"Cargo."
