"What?!?!? Shera's giving birth!" Tifa exclaimed.
"Come on, we have to get to the hospital. Tifa you come with me, and Cloud go get everyone." Barret commanded.
Tifa quickly grabbed a coat and ran out the door with Barret, leaving Cloud alone.
He quickly got on his shoes and put on a sweatshirt and headed down the street to the hotel. He decided to go get Yuffie and the Turks first since he didn't want to be alone with Aeris and Sephiroth. Yuffie squealed like a little piglet, Reno and Rude couldn't have cared less. Then it was time to get Elena and Vincent. His didn't show one hint of emotion at the noise, while Elena got excited. Then came Aeris and Sephiroth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
When Sephiroth opened the door he looked annoyed and the interruption and Cloud noticed Aeris was standing there in a sheer kimono, her face flushed. Cloud only wore a bemused smile.
"Come on. Shera's giving birth," Cloud said in an insistent voice.
Aeris looked confused yet excited.
"Shera's pregnant?" she exclaimed. "Oh I'm so happy for Cid. He didn't even mention it!!!"
Sephiroth just stood there. "Come on Aeris, the others are waiting downstairs." Cloud said as he started to put his arm around her and lead her out the door. Sephiroth reached out his hand and grabbed Cloud by the collar. "You weren't going to let Aeris walk around like that were you?"
The two men glared into each other's eyes while Aeris blushed.
"Oh my, Sephy. I didn't even realized. Come on, Cloud. Out, out. We have to change; we'll meet you outside." Aeris said as she pushed Cloud out the door.
************************************************************************
The waiting area outside the maternity ward was so crowded. On the couches were Barret and Nanaki waiting on one, Elmyra, teary-eyed, looking at Barret. Yuffie and Reno were on a small couch, holding hands, apparently in-between a making out session, which they had been severely berated at by the others. Cloud sat alone, staring at Aeris. And Aeris and Sephiroth were sitting on a large couch, her head resting in his lap, curled up in a ball, sleeping lightly. Sephiroth occasionally smiled smugly at Cloud. Finally Tifa came rushing through the doors.
"It's a GIRL!!!!"
************************************************************************
"I'm so sorry Cloud."
"Cid, it's ok. I understand you need to say home with your wife and your child."
"I know. It's just, fuck, I'm gonna miss all the action."
"We'll save you some."
Both men grinned and hugged goodbye.
Barret interrupted them.
"Yo man, I'm sorry but I'm gonna stay too."
Cloud looked on puzzlingly.
"Well I'm going to marry Elmyra, and she's staying, so I am."
"Ok, big man. Have fun."
"You better take good care of my shit, boy."
"I will Cid."
"I mean, I'll fucking rip out your heart, if she has one scratch."
"Geez, I thought being a father would change your language."
"Not yet."
"Bye."
"Come on, we have to get to the hospital. Tifa you come with me, and Cloud go get everyone." Barret commanded.
Tifa quickly grabbed a coat and ran out the door with Barret, leaving Cloud alone.
