Disclaimer: Okay, I know I haven't updated in almost a month and that's very un-Jenna like of me but I got bit by the writer's block bug and I it hasn't worn off yet. So here's chapter 16. So sorry that I haven't updated but here's a little something to hold you over until I finish the few last chapters. I might drag this out over three or four chapters but it all depends on if I get over the worst case of writer's block to ever grace the face of the earth. So hope you enjoy this little filler!

The next morning I woke up and found Vincent gone. I yawned before stretching lazily then getting out of the warm bed. I walked back into the guest room and got back into my clothes then walked downstairs.

I saw Vincent sitting on the couch with the morning paper and a glass of coffee. He looked up at me.

"Good morning," he said, in his usual monotone. "There is more coffee in the kitchen. Help yourself to some."

I nodded then walked into the kitchen and grabbed a mug from the cupboard then proceeded to fill it to the brim with the hot, black liquid. I walked back into the living room and sat across from Vincent. I picked up the sports section that he had discarded on the coffee table and began reading it.

I looked up as Vincent shifted then folded the paper and set it down on his lap.

"So," he said, taking a sip from his mug of coffee. "How much longer do you get to keep Seto and Nariko?"

"Well, they're about eight months so we get to keep them for another five months before we have to bring them back to the canyon." I paused and looked down at the paper in my hands. An idea popped into my head as I looked back up at Vincent with a wide smile on my face. "Hey, Vincent, why don't you come back down to Cosmo Canyon when Yuffie and I go back to bring the cubs home?"

He raised his eyebrows and stared at his part of the newspaper before shrugging his shoulders.

"Maybe I will. Call me and tell me when you're returning."

"Okay," I said, nodding as I leaned back and read more of the sports section.

I finished my mug of coffee then set the paper back down on the coffee table surface. I washed my mug out in the sink then went upstairs and got together all my things that I brought with me to his house.

Afterwards, I carried it all downstairs and set it by the door. Vincent rose from the couch and walked towards me.

"Do you need assistance?"

"Um, sure. Thanks."

I stooped down and picked up the box containing my dress while Vincent picked up my make-up bag and box that held my shoes. He locked his house then followed me to the hotel.

When we arrived, I ascended the stairs and walked to the room. I slowly pushed the door open and walked inside. I set my box down on the bed and Vincent set the two items he was carrying on the bed also.

"Hi, Aunt Tifa!" Nariko said, sitting down in front of me. "I missed you last night."

"Yeah, so did I!" Seto said, joining his sister. "Where'd you go?"

I leaned down and scratched the cub's chins. "I spent the night with Vincent."

Two large smiles slinked onto the red beast's faces.

"Oh," Seto said, smiling in Vincent's direction.

Nariko giggled as she nudged her brother with her paw.

I laughed as I scratched Seto's chest and stood up again. I frowned as I looked around the room.

"Guys, where did Yuffie go?" I asked, looking around the room.

"Uh, she said she was going to go get the chocobos," Nariko said.

"Yeah, that's right," Seto said, nodding.

I put my hands on my hips as I gave the carpet a menacing stare.

"But she left both of you alone! You're only eight months old! What if something would have happened to you?" I asked, kneeling in front of them and placing a hand on their heads.

They both looked away from me. Nariko looked back up at me, looking like she was going to cry.

"We told her, Aunt Tifa!" She said, sniffing. "We told her not to leave us alone but she said that we'd be fine."

"Yeah," Seto said, shuffling closer to me and leaning his left shoulder against me. Nariko did the same. "We tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen. I even told her that you'd get mad."

"Well, it's okay," I said, squeezing both cubs. "As long as you're alright, nothing else matters. It's just that I told Yuffie never to leave you two unattended. You're still too young."

Nariko sniffed again as she stepped away from me. "She's only been gone for a few minutes so we weren't alone that long. Right, Seto?"

"Uh-huh," Seto said, stepping away from me also. "She said she'd be right back."

I sighed as I stood up. "Well, I'll let it slide this time."

I looked over at Yuffie's bag. It was zipped shut and her toiletries bag was sitting on the ground next to it. I looked over at mine to find it packed as well. I smiled wryly as I set my make-up bag next to my duffle along with the dress and shoes.

I looked down at my clothes and realized that I hadn't changed them yet. I opened my bag and took out a pair of tight fitting denim jeans and a black v-necked shirt. I stepped into the bathroom and changed then put my old clothes in my bag and zipped it up.

I stood up and looked over at Vincent. He was sitting on the couch with a passive look on his face.

"Well, Yuffie should be back here pretty soon so I guess-"

I was cut off when the room door opened and Yuffie stepped through. She smiled as she spotted me.

"Hey, Teef! So you're back. Ready to go? I got the chocobos waiting outside and already checked us out."

I nodded as I picked up my duffel bag and both boxes. I looked over at the cubs.

"Come on, guys. Time to go home."

They nodded and followed Yuffie out of the room. Vincent stopped next to me.

"Well, come on," I said, smiling at him.

He nodded and followed me out of the room and out of the hotel. I put my bag and both boxes on Seraph's back and looked at Seto, who was sitting on the ground next to her. He jumped up onto her back and sat down.

I looked over at Vincent and wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed him.

"I'll see you in five months okay? I'll give you a call."

"Okay," he said, wrapping his arms around my waist. "I'll miss you."

I nodded and back up. "I'll miss you too."

He nodded and stepped away from me. I mounted Seraph and looked at Vincent one more time before I spurred her out of Icicle Inn followed closely by Yuffie.
