They released their grasps on each other there grins slightly fading.

"What are you two doing?" Yuffie raised a brow.

"... Nothing important" Vincent simply replied.

Tyloric nodded in agreement.

"...Uh huh..." Yuffie didn't believe them.

"So who are you?" Vincent asked bluntly.

"Ummm... err... well..." Tyloric hesitated.

Yuffie nodded to him, urging him to continue.

"I don't expect you to believe me"

"Try me" Vincent mused.

"My name is Tyloric Victor Valentine"

"!!??" Vincent jumped back.

"If you are thinking I'm you're son you are correct" Tyloric stated straight out.

"!!!!????" Vincent was even more shocked.

"What he means Vincent is that he WILL be our son. In the future"

"What? Then that means you shouldn't be here. So why are you?" he asked curiously.

"I wish I could answer that"

"Just one more thing, if I'm 'you're father', Wouldn't that mean you have a demon as well?"

Tyloric fixed his glance downward a little and hesitantly replied "Yes..."

Damn you Hojo, Vincent thought.

"I never thought it would be genetic..." Vincent cursed Hojo again in his head.

"Don't worry about it... But in a way that means Chaos has a son as well" Tyloric chuckled.

"Yes..." Vincent chuckled as well at the thought "He does doesn't he?"

Chaos: ... wow...

Vincent: Indeed.

"Are you two done chatting? Or can we go to the others?" Yuffie yelled annoyed.

"Oh, that reminds me" Tyloric turned and whistled at such a high pitch that Yuffie and Vincent covered their ears.

"Lightning!!" Tyloric called out.

"What?" Vincent and Yuffie asked in unison.

*BOOM* *BOOM* the earth shook beneath them.

"What's going on?!" Yuffie wailed. Something was coming. Something big. Really big!

Then it finally appeared out of the forest. A dragon 25 feet tall its wings were like Chaos's just a dark green. Blue emerald eyes and giant claws. This sparked a memory. But Yuffie decided to keep it to her self.

"Wow..." Yuffie faked.

"A-a-a Drag-gon?" Vincent stuttered.

"Not just any dragon. I'd like you both to meet my Emerald dragon, Lightning" Tyloric told them proudly.

The dragon spotted Yuffie and was pleased to see her again. It was about to walk forward to her but Yuffie put a finger to her lips. Disappointed, Lightning obeyed.

Instead, Yuffie walked to him and without hesitation, rubbed Lightning's back neck softly. Lightning growled in pleasure.
"Seems Lightning's taken a liking to you...*ahem* mom..." Tyloric was shy about calling her mom seeing he hasn't even been born yet. Yuffie gave him a big smile, easing his shyness, meaning she didn't mind.
