SOMEONE TO LOVE

It had been 2 years since meteor and Sephiroth, since then a lot had happened. The gang still kept in touch, they recently just met up for Cloud and Tifa, Cid and Shera's double wedding. Everyone was there, everyone except Vincent. Nobody really knew where he had wandered off to. Yuffie sat in her and her long time boyfriends home in Kalm. They had been together about a year and a half. it was about 7:30 AM, Ashton had already left for work. Yuffie got up to go to the kitchen when a sudden wave of nausea hit her. She rushed to the bathroom and about 45 minutesd later she emerged.
'Maybe I caught the flu...' she thought. She walked into the kitchen still feeling a tad ill. She had been late, as a matter of fact she skipped this whole month all together, she never had exactly been clockwork. 'Oh my Gods am I pregnant!?' Yuffie thought. She shook the thought, it couldn't be, they used protection...She thought. So there, she couldn't be. She quickly shook the thought. She poured herslef a cup of coffee. "Aww, how sweet," she said aloud. "he amde coffee before he left." She went to take a sip, but was hit with another wace of nausea. She rushed to the bathroom, barely making it. She slowly stumbled out of the bathroom and made her way to the bedroom. She pulled the covers down and crawled into the bed and quickly fell asleep.
"Yuffie?" Ashton said, lightly shaking her, he was home on his lunch hour. Yuffie stirred slightly.
"Hmm? Ashton? What are you doing home?" she asked.
"It's 2:00 babe, I need a lunch break." Yuffie sat up and laughed. Ashton helped Yuffie out of bed and they went into the kitchen where he had already made himself a sandwich.
"Hey Ashton, um..I got sick this morning, I think I'm getting the flu." she said.
"Well, why not go to the doctor this afternoon?" he asked. He looked at the clock, " I gotta run sweets, love you." he said. Ashton kissed her bye and left. After Yuffie knew he was definetly gone she ran to the store and bought 2 pregnancy tests. She rushed them back home. About 25 minutes later she sat down int he chair, staring at the test in disbelief. She indeed was pregnant. Yuffie quickly disposed of the tests where she knew Ashton wouldn't discover them.
At 5:00, about 2 hours later, Ashton came home, greeting an extremly happy Yuffie.
"Hey baby, why so happy?"
"Well, guess what!? We're gonna have a baby!!" Ashton's jaw hit the floor,
"What, are you sure? ...How could you do this? We can't havea kid!" he yelled.
"I thought you'd be happy!" she said as Ashton started to walk out. "Don't go out Ashton! Please? We need to talk about this!" Ashton looked at her and shook his head , and walked out the door.
Yuffie fell to her knees in tears, he left, just like that. They had been in arguemetns before and they all ended with her crying and him going to get drunk. But for some reason, Yuffie knew that Ashton wouldn't be back. Eventually Yuffie regained her senses and went to pick up the phone, she dialed Tifa's number.
"Hello?" a chipper Tifa answered.
"Tifa? Ashton...He..He just left me." Yuffie managed to choke put between sobs.
"Oh Yuffie, are you ok? Why? Is he coming back?" Tifa asked with concern in her voice.
"I suppose, he left because I'm pregnant and I was wondering if I could stay with you awhile, at least until he cools down. I don't want him coming home drunk, if he even does come back home." she was still crying.
"Oh of course you can come stay, I'll be there ina little while with the chocobo's gather some of your things, you can stay as long as you like." Yuffie wiped her eyes,
"Thanks a million Tifa, thanks a million."
"Anytime sweets." With that Tifa hung the phone up, Yuffie mimicking the action. She went and gather a few of her belongings, the basics, clothes, toothbrush, stuff like that. She put them in bag and waited out front for Tifa to show up. The journey from Nibelhiem to Kalm wasn't that long, so Tifa was there in about a half hour. Yuffie left the back door unlocked so that when and if Ashton came home he could open it and not bust the window out in a drunken rage like last time. She shuddered at the thought of that night. It was a short quiet trip to Nibelhiem, the conversation consisted of Tifa asking Yuffie how she had been and telling her what had happened while she and Cloud had moved back to Nibelhiem. When the arrived, Yuffie grabbed her things and followed Tifa inside to see Cloud sitting at their kitchen table eating,
"Hey Yuffie! What's up?" he asked. Yuffie smiled as best as she could at him,
"Not alot." Cloud nodded,
"Yeah about the same here...How long ya staying?" Yuffie shrugged her shoulders,
"Until you kick me out I guess...Or until Ashton cools off and comes home." Cloud saw Tifa frown at the mention of his name, she didn't want Yuffie going back to that kind of situation, especially in her condition.
"Well, Yuffie," Tifa interupted, "I'll show ya your room." Yuffie smiled warmly at Cloud, and followed Tifa to the guest room. "Here it is..Not much to it but I think you'll like it. I'm not letting go back to him Yuffie, its not safe and you know it. I already talked to your dad about him..You can stay here as long as you want, you can have a job in the bar. You can start tomorrow." Yuffie smiled,
"Thanks Tifa. I guess I'll just make myself comfy. I'm really tired. Thanks." Tifa nodded and closed the door, she walked back into the kitchen. Cloud looked at Tifa,
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Ashton left Yuffie, she's pregnant and he doesn't want anything to do with her."
"Ahh, I know that situation well. She is staying here, you know that right?" Tifa nodded.




~*~Cut to Midgar~*~


Vincent Valentine walked down the streets of the newly rebuilt Midgar, his apartment had been broken into while he was gone to the weapon shop. There was definetly no way he was staying there tonight..Seeing how they stole his bed. Where would he sleep? He suddenly had an idea.
"Cid..." he said aloud, he picked up his PHS and rang Cid's house. No answer. "Damn," he cursed. "Maybe Tifa..." he dialed her number and waited for an answer. 1 ring, 2, 3, 4--
"Hello?"
"Thank the gods, Tifa, someone stole my bed, I have no where to go and Cid's not answering and Barret is way too far away...Um..I have the transportational ways of getting to Nibelhiem, I was wondering if..."
"Come on over Vinny...But, whats wrong with the inn?"
"Tifa, this is Midgar..." Tifa realized what he was saying.
"The door is unlocked, just come in when you get here and lock it behind you."
"Ok, thanks Tifa." he hung up his PHS and walked back to his apartment to get the buggy.
