Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII or the song in this songfic. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that
the title of this fic may give a few false impressions, especially when
mentioning Sephiroth. So R/R and enjoy!

*Thoughts*
Lucrecia looked through the
plastic incubator to her newborn son.
His deep sapphire eyes were peacefully closed in the innocent sleep that
only babies slumbered. He was only a
few days old, but Lucrecia knew her foolish decision would rip him away from
her.
*Sweet
child…what does your future hold, my dear baby Sephiroth?* The auburn woman knew that she could not
watch her child grow, but wondered what he would do when he grew up anyway. *He has his father's hair…perhaps he'd have
Vincent's sweet side as well?*
//Do
you wanna be a poet and write?
Do
you wanna be an actor up in lights?//
*Maybe he'll have
Vincent's will and courage…maybe he'll share his parents' curiosity…* The idea of the boy, a few years older,
constantly asking questions and looking at the world with his deep blue eyes
charmed her.
//Do
you wannabe be a soldier
And
fight for love?
Do
you wanna travel the world?//
*Maybe he'll be a scientist and discover something
wonderful…* Lucrecia smiled sadly and
gently touched the transparent barrier of her son's shell.
"What's your destiny, darling?" she whispered and
closed her eyes.
//Do
you wanna be a diver for pearls?
Or
climb a mountain
And
touch the clouds above?
Be
anyone you want to be
Bring
to life your fantasies
I
want something in return…//
"Could you do something for me?"
Lucrecia opened her eyes as she whispered to her son. The boy stirred and awakened, his sapphire eyes fell upon his
mother. Sephiroth grinned a dopey,
toothless smile that made his mother laugh.
//I
want you to burn
Burn
for me, baby
Like
a candle in my night
Oh,
burn
Burn
for me, burn for me//
*My dear child…I hope you're never as foolish as me…I
hope you never let your life hang in a balance you can't control…*
//Are
you gonna be a gambler and deal?//
*If
anything, sweet Sephiroth, please live well and help others in need…*
//Are
you gonna be a doctor and heal?//
*I pray that you live
through these horrid experiments, my little angel,* she thought desperately. *Please, don't die on me!*
//Or
go to Heaven
and
touch God's face?//
Lucrecia
looked down at her son as he yawned and cooed some muffled baby noise. Baby Sephiroth closed his big blue eyes and
went back to his awaiting slumbers.
Lucrecia tried to imagine what he would look like all grown up. He would have Vincent's ears and build, she
was sure, but the sleeping child had his mother's face.
*Asleep…I
can see him as a young man…my little angel asleep in a field of wildflowers…*
//Are
you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps?
Are
you gonna be a sinner who weeps?
Or
an angel
Under
grace?//
*My little boy, I will die for you. My Sephiroth…my son…* Lucrecia wiped a tear
from her eye before it could make itself known.
//I'll
lay down on your bed of coals
Offer
up my heart and soul
But
in return…//
*In
all that you do, child,* Lucrecia ran her fingers across the warm cover in the
shape of a heart. *In all that you do,
be magnificent.*
//I
want you to burn
Burn
for me, baby
Like
a candle in my night
Oh,
burn
Burn
for me, burn for me//
"Your
father and I love you, my son…"
//I
want you to burn, baby
Laugh
for me
Cry
for me
Pray
for me
Fly
for me
Live
for me
Die
for us
I
want you to burn
Burn
for me, baby
Like
a candle in my night
Oh,
burn
Burn
for me, burn for me//
"Our
love will feed your fire, sweet boy…"
//I
want you to burn
I
want you to burn for me baby
Burn
for me
I
want you burn…//
Lucrecia
closed her eyes and cried quietly, "Burn for me…"

I hope you enjoyed this fic. I know it isn't too much, but I'm hoping to add another chapter
to it from Vincent's POV. Please R/R
and tell me if you think I should continue or not. Thanks!
