Chapter Two: "Let Tifa Live!"
"Let Tifa live!" Cloud cried out.
Sephiroth was NOT happy at the answer, but let Tifa go. Tifa raced over and stood beside Cloud and prepared to fight.
"Why did you let me go?" Tifa asked him. "I figured you'd kill me no matter what."
Sephiroth snarled, "I would have, but to get back here, I had to promise to do what I promised others in the world. So I had to let you go. But I'll be back for you."
Sephiroth... Aeris... vanished.
Tifa turned to Cloud. "Cloud.... why did you choose me?"
"I love you," Cloud told her. "And Aeris is dead. She should remain that way. It's not right to play God and bring her back to life. I.... I hope she's happy with Zack."
Tifa had tears in her eyes. "Oh, Cloud. I do too!"
He leaned down and kissed her. He felt he had made thr right choice.

When Tifa and Cloud's baby girl opened her eyes for the first time, they were in awe.
"Cloud!" Tifa said. "She has such big beautiful green eyes!"
"I know!" Cloud said with a grin. "They are full of knowlege and--"
They both paused and stared at their baby. They had named her Aeris, of course. They wanted to.
"Do you think it is true?" Tifa whispered.
Cloud could only nod.
Their baby WAS Aeris.
The End.
