Chapter Eleven
All Sorts of Stuff
The ninja's jaw fell. "No... way!"
"Yuffie, it's me," Aeris said softly. "I'm back."
"It's impossible," said the girl in the skirt.
"Why not?" Yuna asked.
"I sure as heck ain't ever seen it 'afore!"
"Tifa, Barret..." Aeris stepped forward, walking towards them. "It really is me. I came back to see you guys." She looked at Cloud, smiling slightly. "I waited five thousand years to see... you."
Cloud shook his head. "It can't be," he said in shock.
"Yes, it can! It's me, Aeris. You have to believe me."
"I believe you!" Yuffie said. She ran up to the flower girl, embracing her tightly. "We all missed you so much."
"It's not her Yuffie!" Cloud shouted, startling everyone.
Aeris felt tears forming in her eyes, but wouldn't let them fall.
"Aeris..." Rikku whispered.
"Then who would it be, eh Cloud?" Yuffie demanded, stomping her foot in front of him.
"Tifa's right. It's impossible," said the red creature.
"Red!" Yuffie cried.
Turning on her heel, Aeris ran out of the room before anyone could stop her, crying.
"Aeris!" The four Spirans chased after her, slamming the church's door behind them. She was a quick runner, speeding through a slum area until she reached an open place. There was a small house, and a pretty field of flowers.
"Wow," Paine said as they gathered around the girl.
"Home," she murmured.
"This is your house?" Tidus asked.
"Yes," Aeris said. "Come on." Together, they walked inside. "Hello? Anyone home?"
Rikku sneezed. The house was very dusty. "I don't think anyone's been here for a while."
"Your step-mother died a year after you did." Everyone turned around to see the ninja, Yuffie. "She got Mako-poisoning."
Aeris nodded solemnly. Her eyes were red and her face was blotchy. "Yuffie..."
Sighing, Yuffie sat down on a dusty chair. "Cloud's in denial. The others are probably just confused. This is the first time we've all been together in one place since we defeated Sephiroth."
Yuna cringed slightly at the name. He's dead in this world.
"Something wrong?" she asked.
"It's nothing," Yuna said, tugging on a lock of hair.
"Whatever," the ninja shook her head. She was tall, almost lanky, but pretty. Her dark hair was pulled into a loose ponytail. She was dressed in rather revealing clothes; khaki short shorts and a forest green shirt with a low collar that showed her belly. She reminded Yuna of Rikku in more ways than one.
"That Cloud guy sure has some nerve," Rikku said angrily. "Not believing she's Aeris and all!"
"He had no right to turn her down like that," Yuffie said.
"I should have never come," Aeris said quietly.
"Now Aeris," Paine started, "You can't let that get to you. He needs a little time to accept that you are real, and you are here."
"You're right. But the look on his face..." she trailed off.
"It's okay," Rikku said, patting Aeris on the shoulder. She plopped down on a sofa, sneezing again as dust flew in her face. "But since we're here, you should show us around. We can have some fun!"
"Yeah!" Yuffie agreed, kicking her feet onto a table. "It'd be a blast!"
"Is it okay with you?" Yuna asked Aeris.
"Sure! We don't need them," she lied, "We can have plenty of fun!"
The group went back outside, Yuffie and Rikku skipping along in the flowers. Aeris took a deep breath. "I'd forgotten how wonderful it was here."
Paine laughed, watching the two eccentric girls. "You two are so alike!"
Rikku and Yuffie glanced at each other. "No we're not!" they said in unison, then giggled. Even though they were both of twenty-one years, they acted like young teens.
Aeris looked up into the sky. It was a perfect azure, not a cloud in sight. "So what do you guys propose we do?"
Yuna shrugged. "As long as you don't mention..." she began to whisper, "p-a-r--"
"Party!" shrieked Rikku.
"Great idea!" Yuffie agreed, jumping around.
Tidus came from behind Yuna, tackling her to the ground. "You just had to mention that word to her, didn't you?"
"It's not my fault!" Yuna giggled. He was tickling her, somehow knowing her most ticklish spots. When he finally stopped, she had to roll away to catch her breath. She grinned; she always had a good time with him. Sitting up, Yuna saw another group of people from the church coming down the road. "Aeris, look over there," she said, pointing.
Aeris sat down in the flowerbed near Yuna, Yuffie, and Rikku. She could feel her heart sink when she noticed Cloud was not with them.
Finally reaching the group, Tifa was the first to speak. "Aeris," she knelt down beside her, "We're really sorry we didn't believe you."
"Yeah Aeris. We was just a bit confused," Barret said, scratching the back of his head.
The flower girl nodded slowly. "It's okay," she said quietly. "I just didn't think Cloud would..." she stopped.
"He's not talking to anyone. He won't listen. He's locked up in a room back at 7th Heaven," Red XIII told.
"Maybe I should go talk to him..."
"Then we can all get some food!" Yuffie said excitedly.
"Ugh... food," Rikku groaned, laying flat on her back. She felt her stomach roll.
"You okay?" Aeris asked.
Rikku clutched her stomach, "It huuuuurrrrrts!" she cried.
"Rikku!" Yuna, Paine, and Tidus called worriedly.
"I think I'm gonna..." the Al Bhed rolled to her side, one hand clutching her stomach and the other covering her mouth.
Yuna bent over her, holding a hand to her forehead. "She doesn't feel warm. Maybe it's something in the flowers."
"Mako poisoning?" Cid suggested.
"No, she hasn't been here that long. Rikku, what hurts?" Aeris asked.
"MY TUMMY!" she yelled, quickly getting up. She ran inside the house and found the sink, relieving herself. "Ugh..." she groaned again, turning on the faucet.
"Come on, we'd better take her to a doctor," Tifa said. "I think there's one staying at the 7th Heaven, come on."
Rikku put one arm around Yuna's shoulder and the other around Paine's.
Cid, who smelled like cigars, ran inside, "I've got the Highwind ready! C'mon!"
They boarded the airship, Rikku muttering to herself about it being a piece of junk compared to the Celsius. Despite it's shape, the Highwind got to Sector 7 quickly.
"Wow," Aeris said as they got off. It had definitely changed. Once a slum-like area of town, they had cleaned it up and made it look much nicer.
"Took three years," Tifa said, opening the door for the others to get through.
"It cleans up nice," Aeris commented.
Yuna and Paine layed Rikku down on a bed in one of the inn's rooms. "Don't worry, you'll be okay," Paine comforted.
Tifa brought in a professional looking doctor, who rapidly pushed everyone out of the room. "He doesn't like to be watched," she explained.
Tidus and Yuna roamed the inn, then walking back into the bar part. "You think she'll be all right?" Tidus wondered.
"I hope so." They sat down at the bar, talking quietly. They noticed a blonde man sitting near them, his head in his hands. "Isn't that...?" Yuna whispered.
"That guy we saw at the church. I think so," Tidus said.
He glanced towards them, revealing himself as indeed, Cloud. Cursing under his breath, he quickly ran out of the bar.
Yuna sighed, as the doctor came in. "So what is it?"
"Well, your cousin," he began, "is going to be okay."
"That's good to know," Tidus said, "what was wrong?"
"Morning sickness."
"Morning sickness?" Tidus echoed.
Yuna's jaw dropped. "You mean...?"
"Yes. She's going to have a baby."
A/N: Okay I hope you guys aren't mad at me for ending it on that last phrase. But believe me, it's gonna be EXTREMELY twisted... Next chappy Cloud and Aeris will get talking, so maybe if I get LOTS of updates I'll post it tonight or tomorrow morning... Love yah all!!
