((Hey everyone. Sorry this chapter took a while ^^ I've been doing a lot of school work, since spring break's coming up ¬¬; Anyways, on with the story!!))

"Okay, Tifa...so tell me exactally what happened?" Shera said, sitting on her bed next to Tifa. Tifa blew her nose in one of the pastel pink tissues that Shera handed her, and sighed. 
"I was in his room...still sleeping. I was just waking up when I saw him just outside, talking to Aeris. I didn't think anything of it, but when I got up to go talk with them, I heard them. Saying they loved eachother...then Cloud kissed her...and I ran here..." Tifa began to sob again, and Shera wrapped a comforting arm around her.
"There has to be more to it than that...I mean, did you two get in a fight recently?" Shera asked. Maybe Cloud was just blowing off some steam, and trying to upset Tifa for something that she said.
"Not that I know of. I thought everything was going fine since after he got out of the hospital...I mean...he purposed to me! But it didn't really mean anything to him. I was just second best...the one he was stuck with..." She cried into Shera's shoulder. Shera soothed her, as Cid entered the room, slamming the door behind him.
He had a bruise just under his eye, and his nose was bleeding slightly. His fists were dripping with crimson blood, but that was not his own. Shera left Tifa for a second.
"Oh god! Cid, are you alright!?" She exclaimed. She ran into the bathroom, and got a cloth along with bandages. "You're hurt!" 
"That stupid fuck deserved it. Goin' off and fuckin' kissin' that seductive little-" 
"-Cid...stop. Don't blame Aeris. Of course she was after Cloud...she always has been...always will be. And he loves her...he can't help that." Tifa said, still crying. Shera finished cleaning and dressing Cid's wounds, then pulled Tifa into her arms.
"That isn't true, Tifa. Something's wrong...I know Cloud well enough to know that he'd never do anything to hurt you on purpose." Tifa tried to argue with her, but didn't. She knew there was no point. Shera was stubborn, especially if she was really sure about something.
Tifa sighed, and shook her head. She stood up, and headed for the door. She needed time to think...by herself. She had to let someone know, but not yet. She wasn't sure...not totally sure. She had to figure it out for sure first.
"I'm going to my room. I'll...I'll come to you if I need something." Shera nodded, and watched as Tifa headed off towards her room. She didn't want to leave Tifa alone, but Yuffie was just next door, and she knew that she wouldn't let anything happen to her.
Tifa walked into her room, and slammed her door behind her, taking a seat on her bed. She burried her face in her hands, trying to overcome the sudden nasuea that was hitting her. She convinced her self that this time she was just feeling sick because of what just happened.
But she still had that little bit of worry...that nervous voice in the back of her head that convinced her that she was wrong. That her suspisions were true. She stood, and stumbled into the small bathroom attatched to her room, barely making it in time to let out the results of this sickness.
Yuffie heard the toilet next door to her room flush again, and sighed. Tifa was sick, well, maybe. She'd come up with many different excuses for Tifa's ill behavior over the past few days. She stopped in the doorway, and waited for Tifa to walk out of the bathroom.
Tifa stopped in her tracks to see Yuffie standing there.
"Yuffie! What are you doing in here!?" She exclaimed, a nervous feeling suddenly overtaking her. Yuffie...had she heard her getting sick? And what about the rest of the week? Tifa sat down, and Yuffie joined her, after quietly closing the door behind her.
"What's going on Tif?" She asked quietly, looking into her crimson eyes, which were swollen with tears. 
"Cloud....he and Aeris...." Yuffie sighed and shook her head. She'd seen the ordeal with Cid. She knew what happened, well, to some extent.
"...that's not what I'm talking about, and you know it." She said quietly. Tifa nodded, already knowing that. She kicked her feet back and forth, trying to stall as long as she could, but gave up.
"I haven't been feeling too well lately, that's all...." Tifa explained. Yuffie sighed, knowing there was more to it than that. 
"...I don't think that's all....." she said lightly, looking at Tifa closely. Tifa sighed, and looked away. She had to admit, even if Yuffie was immature at times, she was trustworthy, and she could keep a secret. Tifa hesitated before speaking.
"You probably already figured it out....but that night when Cloud purposed to me....I....we.....I think......." Tifa didn't need to continue. Yuffie sighed, and wrapped her arms around her friend. She already knew Tifa's suspicions, they were her own as well.
"...you want me to get you....to find out?" Yuffie asked quietly. Tifa looked at her, surprised by Yuffie's offer.
"Would you actually do that for me?" She asked quietly. Yuffie nodded, and stood up. She smiled and winked.
"I know how to keep everyone else outta my stuff." She winked again, and ran out of the room. Tifa sighed. She didn't expect Yuffie to make that offer, and even when she did, she didn't expect her to go and get it done with so quick. She was curious, but she wasn't sure she wanted to know already. 
If it turned out that, as she feared, she was pregnant, she would be bringing a child into the world without a father, which was one of the things that bothered her. 


((A/N: Grrh. I didn't like how this came out...but after this, none of those things you expected. I need to add a few twists in here, and at the moment, it sounds like the ultimate CloTi cliche))
