Trapped by myself
Chapter 5
They were all seated at the chapel, Cloud had proposed to Aerith which made Tifa's anger boil. Her own relationship had gone downhill as Zack had confessed that he loved Aerith while Tifa confessed she loved Cloud. They had talked about it and thought6 that it wouldn't be fair to be with someone you didn't love, but they both were still happy for their friends. Everyone but the priest Aerith and Cloud was sitting down and then Tifa's heart raced.
""Does anyone here know a reason why this man and this woman should not be joined together? If so, speak now or forever hold your peace." The priest said Tifa sighed and knew what she had to do she stood up and didn't look at the couple.
"I do." She said and instantly Zack stood up and nodded.
"So do I." he said there hearts were racing everyone was gasping and Aerith had spun around looking at them both Tifa spoke up first.
"Because I loved Cloud since day one, the only reason why I came back was for you." She knew he understood she was talking about there battle months before.
"Unless you tell me exactly how you feel I don't think I can live in peace for the rest of my life." She said.
Zack the shook his head and grinned.
"Aerith I always thought we had something special going on and when you were with Cloud it burned, I guess I feel the same way Tifa does." He then sighed and felt himself fall back. Aerith had jumped into his arms saying.
"I know what you mean Zack I love you too." She said smiling and turned to Cloud.
"I'm sorry I don't think we were meant to be." She said and he smiled and walked to Tifa.
"Tifa I agree, me and Aerith actually talked about this and knew that we were going to fast, I knew that my heart belonged to you and I'm sorry for making you wait." He said.
"I want you to marry me." He said smiling and Tifa burst out crying in Clouds arms everyone was shocked until Yuffie jumped up clapping and everyone else joined in.
"I think that this wedding isn't going to take place." He said, but Tifa shook her head.
"Cloud we are getting married right now, and so are you two." She said to Aerith and Zack who smiled and nodded.
By the end of the day Tifa had found herself in her room, the one she now shared with Cloud while Zack and Aerith are sleeping peacefully in the other room.
"Cloud hurry out of the bathroom, I need a shower." She shouted and he only chuckled.
"Cloud Strife open this door this instant or I will break it open." She said getting ready to kick the door open. Cloud swung the door open his waist wrapped in a towel and he was grinning.
"Why Mrs. Strife you wouldn't do that now would you." He said pulling her in his arms and smiling. Tifa loved the way Mrs. Strife sounded and giggled.
"You would be surprised what I can do." She said pushing him aside and ran in the bathroom shutting the door and locking it.
"Tifa I need to get my clothes I can't get to my room since Zack and Aerith are sleeping in there." He said knocking on the door.
"I can't hear you." She sang. Cloud sat on the bed waiting for Tifa when she opened the door his jaw dropped open. She was wearing a translucent white nightgown which hugged her body showing off her curves she giggled at his expression.
"Get used to it dear you'll be seeing more of these every night." She said smiling and lying down on the bed. Cloud got up and walked to the bathroom getting his clothes and stuffing it in the hamper before getting his night clothes on. He lied down beside Tifa shirtless and she rolled onto her side hand stroking his chest.
"I love you." She whispered to him smiling.
"I love you too." He said stroking her hair gently and falling into a deep slumber beside the women he loved.
(1 year and a few months later)
Yuffie and Vincent had finally tied the knot while Aerith had given birth to her first son named Zen (a name Zack thought of) and had gotten there own house.
Tifa and Cloud bought a house close to the bar and a school for Denzel. Marlene moved in with Barret who got married to a women he met in Corel. Cid and Shera were at the hospital as she had given birth to another daughter who they named Lauren.
Tifa was waiting for Cloud to arrive she was excited since the conversation she had with Aerith. The sound of a motorbike was sounded and Tifa watched as the door opened Denzel and Marlene tackled Cloud to the ground which made him grin.
"Cloud Marlene is going to stay with us." said Denzel jumping up and down.
"For a whole week." added Marlene who got off Cloud and stuck her tongue at Denzel,
"Catch me if you can!" she squealed running outside and Denzel chased her. Cloud wrapped his arms around Tifa and smiled. Tifa spun around and kissed Cloud.
"Rough day?" she asked him grinning he nodded his head and sat on a stool pulling Tifa on his lap.
"Anything new?" he asked her stroking her hair. Tifa giggled and took his hand and put it on her stomach.
"Cloud I'm pregnant." She said smiling. Clouds eyes widened and he grinned rubbing his hand across her stomach, he pulled her close in a tight embrace and studied her features, he still couldn't believe that a year ago she wouldn't have been here he held her tightly which made Tifa giggle.
"I'm not going anywhere." She said reading his mind.
"I know, I'm just happy you're here with me." He said and she stood up her hands on her hips.
"Cloud I think we should have another reunion." She said walking over to the phone to call everyone. Cloud nodded and watched as Tifa called everyone.
"Everyone is coming." she said smiling.
"Its going to be next week." She said giving Cloud a peck on the cheeks before closing up the bar. They found Denzel and Marlene playing outside and they all went home.
(Next week)
The party was fun, Cid and Barret had a drinking competition which Cid won by default as Barret's wife shouted at him for being a bad example to the Kids. Everyone was having a great time and when Tifa made the big announcement the couple was showered with congratulations. After everyone left Tifa and Cloud took the kids upstairs and cleaned up before going to sleep.
(months later)
Tifa had given birth to twins which made Cloud faint twice. She squeezed Clouds hand which she nearly broke because of her grasp. After a long time she was holding her daughter while Cloud was holding there son. There daughter looked a lot like her father only had Wine colored eyes while there son looked a lot like his mother with piercing blue eyes. Tifa and Cloud began debating on hat names they should give the children when the picture she saw in the room came into view. She smiled and looked at Cloud.
"Ilfana and Kira." she finally said and Cloud agreed. Tifa looked down at her daughter and at her son smiling.
"Cloud we are finally a family." She said smiling and he shook his head grinning.
"We always were Teef, we always were." He said and kissed his son on the head who opened his eyes, the same eyes he had just like his father.
"I love you cloud." said Tifa smiling as he craddled there son.
"I love you too Tifa." he said looking into those wine colored eyes that he always got lost in.
