Tifa Lockheart laid on her bed. It was nine o clock at night and she was staring at the ceiling. She felt like an orphan. No, she was one. She continued to think how she is a burden to Cloud and everyone they have been so nice to her. Tifa closed her eyes and began to fall into a deep slumber.

She found herself standing in an old run down reactor. She looked around to find Cloud dressed weirdly. Then up on the top of the stairs was A long slivered haired man who had a long sword. A malice grin danced across his face as his mako eyes glowed dimly. He struck down Cloud and Tifa screamed and ran to his side. She held him in her arms, but he seem to fade away.. "Ti…fa….help…me.." He slowly whispered before fading into nothing.

Tifa Let out a scream of fear. She opened her eyes and sat up in bed. A cold sweat poured from her brow as Cloud walked in.

"You alright?" He asked calmly and sat on her bed next to her. Tifa continued to pant.

"It was horrible! There was you and this longhaired man who weilded a long sword and..and.." Cloud shushed her.

"It was just a dream…" He replied.

"He had green eyes and sliver hair." Tifa spoke through pants. Cloud's eyes widen a bit but he remained silent. He brought her into his arms and hugged her softly. Tifa's eyes widen as she blushed.

"Its okay now, your safe.." He whispered in her ear.

Tifa smiled softly and leaned into him, he supported her as she closed her eyes and fell asleep once more. Cloud remained by her side until she was fully asleep. Cloud sat her fragile form softly on the bed. He softly brushed her bangs from her face.

"I…never noticed…how pretty Tifa was…" He thought to himself. He blushed. A strange feeling was occurring inside of him. He smiled gently and stood up. Cloud walked over to the door and turned the light out. He made his way back to his room and closed to the door. He lied back on his bed and fell asleep.

The Next Day

Cloud was busy in the kitchen and it was about nine and Tifa was still asleep. Cloud sighed.

"Man, how does Tifa do all this?" Cloud sighed as he attempted to cook. Marlene left with her real father on vacation for the weekend and left Denzel alone. He sat at the bar swinging his legs, as his head stayed in his hands. Cloud looked to him and sighed softly. He sat the frying pan down and walked over to Denzel.

"What's wrong Denz?" Cloud asked. Denzel looked up, his eyes full of sadness.

"Is Tifa ever going to get better?" he asked. Cloud looked at him.

"I mean, I really love Tifa, she is like a mom to me, but now she doesn't even know who." Denzel began to cry softly. Cloud stared at him.

"Who I am…" Denzel sniffled and wiped his tears.

"Its okay Denzel she will get her memories back, why don't you go wake her up?"

Denzel nodded and smiled softly. He walked up the stairs and entered her room. He smiled and hopped on her bed and jumped.

"Wake up Tifa!" He coaxed. Tifa blinked and sat up, she rubbed her eyes and smiled.

"Good Morning…Denzel!" She smiled at the boy. Denzel smiled greatly.

"You remembered my name!" He jumped up and down on the bed.

"Well Yes, but I don't know who you are.." She said softly.

"That's okay Cloud said you will get you memories back in no time!" Denzel sat next to her. Tifa smiled.

" So, how do I know you?" She asked. Denzel began to think. He wanted a mother so bad, and yet here she was. He grinned.

"I'm your son." He spoke firmly.

"My Son? I have a son?" Tifa exclaimed. Denzel nodded.

"Well there ya go mom." Denzel chuckled and ran downstairs. Tifa followed and smiled at cloud. Cloud nodded he was sitting on the couch he had given up on cooking.

"Hey Tifa I found some pictures that you might want to look at." Cloud took her hand and sat her down next to him, He pulled out a photo album and opened it.

"What's that?" She asked.

"A photo Album." Cloud replied.

"Oh, like with pictures?"

"Bingo!" Denzel smiled and jumped in the spot between them.

Cloud picked up a picture of Him, Red, and Vincent.

"You took most of these pictures…" Cloud began.

"Hey its you with a giant wolf thing and a vampire?" she questioned. Cloud blinked and chuckled. "These are friends too."

"Friends?" Tifa echoed.

"Yeah This is Red, and that's Vincent." Cloud explained. Tifa smiled.

"Tell me a story I forgotten about my past please?" Tifa begged. Cloud blinked and nodded.

" Okay sure" He grinned and began to think of their childhood.

"Well it was around Christmas time and we always spent Christmas with your family I mean me and my mother…"

Flashback

Cloud and Tifa stared at the Christmas tree with big eyes, all the gifts surrounding the base was just calling their names. They were seven at the time and always spent Christmas together. It was Christmas eve.

" I wonder what Santa brought us!" Cloud spoke in a lisp kind of voice.

"Yeah me too!" A brunette haired girl spoke in a high pitch girly voice. Cloud and Tifa looked to each other and seem to inch closer to the tree until Lisa, Cloud mother walked in. She laughed at them.

"Now now, Santa hasn't come yet and if he saw you opening presents early he will skip over this house." She smiled. They gasped in horror and backed away from the tree. Robert and Julia Lockheart walked in and laughed.

"Ms. Strife is right you better be good for one more day if you want Santa to come." Robert spoke. Julia nodded and smiled.

"Come Children, Its time for bed." Julia smiled softly. The children nodded and followed Tifa's mother up the stairs. Lisa followed and smiled at her Son. They helped them onto the bed and tucked them in. Tifa smiled at her home. "Could you sing us that lullaby you taught me Mama?" She asked softly. Julia blinked and smiled.

"Silent Night?" She asked. Tifa nodded. Cloud lied next to Tifa. (A/N: They are little kids, ah brings back memories of My youth! Aw come on you all slept in the same bed when you were all little don't lie to me!)

Cloud clenched a teddy bear tightly and smiled softly at his mom.

"You know Silent Night Lisa?" Julia asked softly. Lisa nodded and smiled.

"One of my Christmas favorites." They sat at the end of the bed and began to sing in unison.

Silent Night, Holy night, round yon virgins, mother and child holy infants to tender and mild, sleeping heavenly peace…sleeping heavenly peace…

End Flashback

" Your mom use to sing that to us so we could fall asleep every Christmas. " Adult Cloud spoke.

"She sounds like a wonderful mother! Can I go meet her!" Tifa exclaimed.

" You…can't…" Cloud spoke sadly. Tifa blinked.

"Why not?" She asked.

"Because…She died a long time ago.." He build up the courage to say. Tifa sighed softly.

"So I am really an Orphan.."

Cloud blinked. " No, No you have us!" Cloud and Denzel smiled cheesy like. Tifa laughed at their faces.

"Come on Tifa look at some more Pictures!" Denzel cheered. Tifa flipped through the scrap book, she smiled at Pictures of Yuffie, Red Cait, and all the rest of her gang. There was even a picture of Reno Cid, and Yuffie is a drinking contest. Tifa flipped over and saw a picture of Aeris. She blinked and pulled it out.

" Who is she?" Tifa asked Quietly. Cloud watched her.

"My face is wet…I'm leaking!" Tifa spoke through a crying voice.

"Its called crying you cry when your sad Tifa." Cloud placed his hand on her shoulder.

"I don't get it why am I sad for this picture I mean its only paper." Cloud laughed sadly.

"That girl, Aeris was a good friend of yours, but she was killed by Sephiroth." Cloud sighed.

"Sephiroth?" she repeated. Cloud nodded. Tifa grasped her head in pain.

" Take it easy…" Cloud pulled her to him and embraced her protecting. Tifa blushed softly and hugged him.

"I feel…strange when you hug me.." Tifa spoke into his chest. Cloud blinked and let go quickly.

" Uhh Sorry!" Cloud apologized and sighed. Tifa smiled.

"No, It was in a good way I think.." Cloud blushed deeply and looked away. Tifa smiled and stood up.

"Lets go for a walk Cloud." She smiled. Cloud blinked. He was taken by surprise by this. The old Tifa would be too shy or busy to ask Cloud anything like walking or sit down having a chat. Even though Tifa was here, he missed her greatly.

"Alright." Cloud smiled and took her hand. He pulled her up and began to walk to the door.

"Watch the house for us Kay Denzel?" Tifa asked. Denzel gave them a thumbs up and smiled. "I bet Cloud doesn't know a walk is cindered a date…" Denzel thought to himself.

Tifa walked down the streets of Midgar. Tifa looked around slowly things began to clear for her. She knew of this place before. But she couldn't put her finger on it. As if the more she try to remember the more it hurt her head. She couldn't let Cloud know that. So like he told her " Don't try to think too hard, it will come.." Tifa believed that she honestly did. What else could she believe?

They walked to the old park. This is where Cloud saw Tifa that day on the back of the cart. They rebuilt it like knew. Tifa sat down on the swings and looked down. Cloud sat beside her.

"Something on your mind?" he asked. Tifa shook her head.

"Not really…It was stuffy in that house that I needed some fresh air." Tifa responded. Cloud nodded and smiled.

"Well Fresh air will do you good.." Cloud spoke up. There was a silence for a moment until Tifa spoke up.

"I was watching you cook…and I would like to give it a try…" Tifa smiled. Cloud blinked and fantasized the house burning down. He gulped and grinned nervously.

"Umm.. I'll teach you." Cloud smiled.

"You will really!" Cloud nodded and stood up. Tifa stood up too.

"Lets get started!" Tifa smiled. Cloud nodded.

"alright Time's a wasting" Cloud said. Tifa smiled as they headed to the store.

They entered the store and walked through all the aisles.

"what do you want to make?" Cloud asked.

"How about pasta?" She said and smiled.

"Okay I'm the master of making pasta." Cloud said proudly. Tifa laughed. They bought their items and left the store. Cloud and Tifa talked on the way home. The brunette haired woman tripped over her footing not paying attention where she was walking.

"Kyah!" Tifa was about to hit the stone sidewalk when she felt a strong grasp pull her up. Cloud pulled her close to him as if she would break if she hit the ground. Tifa's heart began to race as she looked up at Cloud. Cloud's heart was doing the same. He pulled her up onto her feet. She smiled at him. Her cheeks were a faint shade of pink.

"Thanks." She spoke. Cloud nodded as he blushed. They continued to walk silently the rest of the way. Suddenly Cloud could feel something grasp his hand. It was Tifa's hand. Her fingers intertwined with his. Cloud blushed and slowly grasped her hand.

"Lets go home" Tifa smiled and held his hand.

"Yeah." Cloud responded.

" what is this new feeling…its something I never felt before.."

Thax! Its chapie two! Complete R/R!
