It's chapter seven! All right, I've been doing major chores and cleaning of my house because I'm moving, so we have to have our house all "sparkling clean" to sell. So if I don't update for a while, this is what I'm doing.

The wedding was beautiful, and afterward, Yuna, Seymour, Lulu, Wakka, Rikku, Kimahri, and some Guado went out for the reception. They decided to go to a fancy restaurant in Bevelle. They had lots of fun, eating, drinking, partying, and telling stories. As the night was wrapping up, Yuna seemed tired and placed her hand on her new husband's. She then yawned and rested her head on his shoulder. He whispered his goodbyes and brought him and Yuna back to his manor in Guadosalam.

Time passed, and visits from Yuna's guardians lessened and lessened. She grew a little depressed by this, but Seymour was always there to cheer her up. He was so handsome, smart, kind, and funny. But her love for him was different than her love for Tidus, and often she would wish he was still alive, and that it was him she had married.

About two months after Yuna's wedding, she received a startling letter. It was addressed from Wakka and Lulu, and announcement their own wedding. Yuna was so excited for the couple, as she could tell they had a thing for eachother. She told Seymour and he gladly accepted to come. Yuna wrote them back, and thank you and congratulations letter. She sent it off and didn't hear again until the wedding.

It was a week before the wedding and Yuna and Seymour packed their bags and headed for Besaid. They said their goodbyes to all the Guado and set out. They waited to leave in the evening, so they could see the moon lilies. They were so beautiful and it was spectacular. The entire Moonflow was bathed in a heavenly purple glow. Pyreflies danced in and around the stream. Yuna longed yet again to be with Tidus, here and now, instead of Seymour. She couldn't control herself lately. All she could think about was her and Tidus together on their last night.

She felt ashamed of comparing her two lovers and knelt down, starting to cry. Seymour, who knew nothing of her and Tidus, crouched down beside her and rubbed her back. "It'll be alright, Yuna. I promise." He could sense strong memories to this place, as he had them too. Here was where Seymour received his first kiss, in the twilight immersed in the moon lilies.

He looked into her eyes and leaned in. He kissed her and held her hands. Yuna was overcome with grief now, because she was lessening Seymour by comparison, when he wasn't that awful. He wasn't as passionate or peppy as Tidus, but he had intelligence and respect, which seems to outweigh the others. He let go of their kiss and comforted her. She knew she was going to be okay. All she had to do was stop thinking of that one night. But every dream she had, every wandering thought went to that night. And she wasgoing to figure out why in short time.

They traveled down the Southern Bank and into the Djose Highroad the next day. As evening drew in they had settled about halfway through the Mushroom Rock Road. Seymour told her that there was nothing to be afraid of, that they would be able to hold off any fiend. Yuna smiled, just like Tidus, Seymour seemed to have a super ego. She thanked him and drifted off to sleep in her husband's lap.

When she woke up the campfire was a few embers and she was on the ground. She got up slowly and looked around. She saw Seymour in the distance and walked over to him. About halfway to him, she noticed the fiends encircling them. Seymour was frantically casting his spells, but they seemed resistant towards them. "What are these?" Yuna called out. She barely dodged an attack. Seymour didn't know but shouted, "Some new type of fiend. And they just nullify my black magic." He was concentrating on talking to Yuna, so he left his guard down. The fiend pounced onto him, and slashed up his chest and legs. He screamed in pain and then went limp. Yuna started to cry. She ran over and began to cast her restorative magic on him. She then casted her defensive magic and her and Seymour.

"Are you all right?" He still had the scars of the cuts, but at least none of them were bleeding. He nodded, "But how do we defeat these?" Yuna didn't know. She specialized in white magic, healing, and so she wasn't a good battle expert. She wished Sir Auron or Wakka were here, they would know what to do. And thinking of them gave her the idea.

"Seymour, I know how to defeat them! We have to use our aeons," Yuna shouted. Seymour blushed, feeling embarrassed by not thinking of that. He swung her staff around, doing a little dance. He flung his staff into the air and it began to morph into his aeon. A large dragon flew down from the sky, his scales and dark as the night. He roared and scared away the lesser fiends. He took his stance and prepared to fight.

Yuna swung her staff around in circles, and the insignia of Yevon glowed beneath her. A dragon too flew down from the sky, but this one was paler, and had purple lined wings. He had magenta hair and a pierced wing. Yuna petted her aeon and then sent him to battle.

Bahamut, Seymour's aeon, attacked the fiends, wiping them out one by one. He would fly over and crush them with his giant claws. Sometimes he would crush them with his feet. And as Bahamut eliminated the fiends one by one, Valefor was doing the same. He would swipe them down with his surprisingly strong wings, or with his Sonic Wings move.

Finally, there were only two fiends left, each identical. One was facing Valefor, the other facing Bahamut. Their normal strikes didn't seem to affect the giant fiends. Their skins were encased in yellow and brown armor, and with little spikes protruding out of the rock-hard skin. Black magic didn't seem to affect them either. With their aeons getting a beating from these monoliths, Yuna shouted one last attack. "Valefor, use your Energy Blast, now!"

Energy Blast was Valefor's most powerful attack. He flew into the air and flung his head. He created a circle of Yevon symbols and then shot a beam through it. The Yevon symbols powered up the beam so it was tremendous. It hit the fiend's armor and seemed to just disappear. The beast roared in excitement. Then, the armor began to crack, and a hole was formed. It stopped its roar and began to run away, but it was too late. Valefor flew at the fiend and cut it off and shot a thunder spell into the hole; the entire armor started to become electrocuted and it stopped. The fiend diminished into pyreflies and their problem was solved.

Seymour, taking Yuna's lead, did the same thing with Bahamut. He used the Mega Flare, and destroyed the armor, and then quickly killed the soft body. He dismissed Bahamut and then walked over to his tired wife.

She hugged him, and rested her head in his chest. Her passion and feelings roared up, and she reimagined her night with Tidus. She wanted to relive it. She placed her hands on his shoulders, and slipped his robed off. Seymour was slightly surprised by Yuna's advances, but he was just as eager as she was. He began to kiss her passionately as they undressed each other.

The couple now stood together, making out, naked in the night. They ran their fingers around each other's body and lingered in its passion. They continued to kiss and foreplay. Yuna loved the passion and excitement it gave her. Seymour felt truly connected to Yuna now, and he loved her defined body. Yuna rested her head on Seymour's chest and fell asleep. Seymour smiled, kissed her on the forehead, and shut his eyes as well.

Yuna woke up first with the sun. She felt odd, but it was a good sense, and she liked how it felt. She glanced down and was, yet again, startled to find herself naked. She blushed and skipped off to find her clothes. As she went, she looked back and saw her nude husband. She giggled as she traveled his body with her eyes. She walked back over and rubbed her hands over his muscular physique. She ran her fingers through his blue silky hair and down his back to his legs. She felt him stirring and giggled again. She then repeated, but this time running her fingers down his front side.

As she was getting to his stomach, Seymour's hand reached out and stopped her advances. He smiled, and saw her twinkling eyes. He pulled her on top of him and kissed her, staying on her lips for a few minutes. When they let go, the couple went to clothe themselves.

For the rest of their journey to Besaid, they never spoke of the night, both slightly embarrassed by it. They went down the Mi'ihen Highroad and into the bustling Luca. They spent the night there in a cheap hotel and left at dawn. They boarded a boat bound to Kilika, and then Besaid. They arrived at the small village by nightfall. Their three-day trip was over, and Yuna stayed with Lulu. She told Seymour that they needed to catch up, and to plan the wedding and make it run smooth. He smiled, and nodded. So now he had three days to himself.

Seymour spent most of the time with Wakka and Kimahri, since the girls were busing with the wedding. And since Kimahri hardly did anything, it mine as well have been just Wakka and Seymour. Neither not very good conversation starters, they decided to play blitzball. After a few minutes, Wakka realized his friend needed some help, and began to teach him the game and coach him. Seymour enjoyed the bonding, and learning how to play blitzball, since it was so fun to watch.

Wedding day came, and Yuna finally returned to her husband. He told her what had been happening, and how much he missed his angel. He kissed her and they went to change. Yuna slipped into her bridesmaid's outfit. She put on her silver necklace and silky gloves. She wore long white boots and slipped her dress over. It was short, reaching a little past her knees. The dress was a light purple, and Yuna's flower accented it. Lulu's favorite color was purple; so all her bridesmaids wore it. She tied a ribbon around her waist and went to see how Seymour was doing.

Seymour was having a little more difficulty. His outfit was a black suit, with matching pants and a long satin red tie. He had his top on, but was struggling with the tie. Yuna laughed at his trouble and blushed at his bare legs. She walked over, and embraced him, making him forget about the tie. She pecked him and as she left, she reminded him, "We have ten minutes, and so you better hurry up and get dressed. I'll be waiting outside."

Seven and a half minutes later, Seymour came out and the couple walked hand in hand to the ceremony. It was basically a simplified version of Yuna's. The bells sounded, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen came from opposite sides. The cheering crowd was replaced by close friends, as neither had living relatives. Flowers and tropical fruits adorned the altar and wedding guests. The couple said their vows of commitment, love, and perseverance and then kissed. Rikku began to cry, as did Yuna, and they comforted themselves. It was a beautiful ceremony, even if it wasn't expensive. The couple thanked everyone for coming and headed back to their house, to start their new life.

Seymour and Yuna stayed in Besaid for another day, and then began their half-week trip back to Guadosalam. Yuna wouldn't see her guardians again until seven more months had passed. And then, some one else would bethere as well.

... .>... .>... .>...

As Yuna lived in Guadosalam, she seemed to change. She had mood swings, and seemed to fall ill easily. Seymour, worrying for his wife, tried to bring her to the medical center, but Yuna refused. He backed off, not wanting her to become unnecessarily angry.

Yuna didn't want anyone to know, not even Lulu or Rikku, but she was pregnant. If she told Seymour, he would believe it was his child, but her guardians knew the truth. This baby was Tidus', and she was afraid of what Seymour might do if he found out. She was torn up inside, struggling between physical pain or emotional. Right now, she was experiencing both, and it brought her to tears.

She loved both men, each for different reasons. She longed for Tidus, for his naivety, his athleticism, and his fun nature. She wanted him to be here to raise his own child. She couldn't stand it, holding a secret from everyone. It was killing her inside, and if she didn't tell someone soon, she feared it might succeed. She wanted to be able to tell Seymour, but worried over whether he could accept this. She loved him for his rationality, his intelligence, and gentleness. Surely he would be able to understand. But a small voice kept whispering that he never would, and that this pain was better to endure than to tell someone and have them burdened by it as well.

Every day and night, and every thought and dream, was on her baby, Tidus, and Seymour. She would debate over it for hours, destroying herself little by little. She could no longer cry, she had done it too many times before, and she couldn't bear to cry again. Everything her tears symbolized brought her pain, and it made crying so much more inviting, and yet horrible.

She cried finally, breaking down the gates and flooding everywhere. She couldn't stop now, for the pain and sorrow were too great upon her. Seymour was troubled, and tried to help, but Yuna only pushed her husband away. Seymour felt she was beginning to be annoyed by him, and he stopped talking to her. Yuna's real intentions were good: she was trying to save him pain, but it failed. She was so tired of worrying, so tired of all the sorrow and hurt that she finally did what she should have done in the beginning.

She first comforted her husband and sat him down. She looked into his enchantingeyes, and was beginning to doubt her decision. But she stuck with it and told him straight out, "Seymour, I'm pregnant." He was shocked, apprehensive, sad, and happy all at once. He wasn't sure if she was happy or sad about it, and so asked her. She smiled to herself for his understanding and cluelessness. But she wasn't finished. "Seymour, there more." Seymour's face dropped. He wondered if it was dying or hurt, or doing the same to his wife. It never occurred to him thatthebabywasn't his child.

"I… he… it," looking at her stomach and referring to the unborn baby, "is… well, he isn't yours." Her eyes watered again, and her sorrow stained the ground. It still hadn't sunk in. "Tidus… is the father… I can explain, please don't be mad!" Her mood swings started to take effect. Yuna went from content, to depressed, to angry, to paranoid, and then all around again.

Seymour was surprised, and slightly hurt, but he knew what he had to do. "Yuna, I'm not mad, I'm just shocked. I will stay, and I'll help you through, it will be alright." He hugged his wife and rubbed her back, he wiped away her tears with his hand, and Yuna began to bawl all over. Seymour continually tried to make her feel better, and just fell into the cycle of comforting.

All of his actions were well, but they just brought back so many memories of her first love. It was unbearable, and she tried to stay strong for her, Seymour, Tidus, and the baby. Yuna eventually cried herself to sleep, and that night she had a nightmare free sleep, something that she hadn't had for two weeks.

... .>... .>... .>...

The day of birth arrived. Yuna was in the medical center, and Seymour stayed by her side. Rikku, Wakka, Lulu, and Kimahri waited for updates. Yuna was in better shape, her past memories no longer haunting her. She was grateful for all the acceptance and comfort. Yuna was in labor the entire day and the baby wasn't born until the dawn.

It was a beautiful little girl. She had sparkling blue eyes that seemed to ebb and flow like the sea. She was so little and precious, and the parents were proud beyond comparison. Some might try to compare it to a wedding, or even the defeat of Sin. But only the couple trulyknew. The satisfaction felt from defeating Sin was nowhere compared to the pride of having a baby.

She cradled her baby and hushed her to sleep. Rikku and Lulu were let in first, and Seymour went out to update the men. Rikku "awwwed" at its beauty and tried to play with it. Lulu was less interactive, but her pride and joy were showing. They were both so proud of Yuna.

"Nedia." The two women looked at Yuna, confused. "Her name is Nedia."
