"Mmmm.." Cloud awoke, feeling a warm body pressed up against his. He opened his eyes to see Tifa sleeping soundly against his chest.

He was on his side, and so was she; facing him, with her head snuggled close to his chest. His eyes widen when he realized she was completely naked, and so was he; though they weren't totally exposed as the blankets covered over them up to their shoulders. A smile grew upon his lips as he remembered what they had done earlier this morning.

He had made sure the entire time, asking her if she was okay with all of this; and every single time she just smiled and nodded her head. He loved her, so much, the last thing he wanted was for her to think he took advantage of her; which is not his intentions. Cloud wanted to do right by her; to make sure everything he was doing was what she wanted; little did he know that she had wanted that all along.

He leaned in, pressing his lips against her forehead. "I love you," he whispered to her sleeping figure. She stirred a bit but then relaxed and snuggled closer to him. He smiled, and brought her closer to his chest which made her sigh happily.

Closing his eyes, he was just about to go back to sleep when it hit him, "Denzel," he gasped in a whisper. He removed himself from Tifa slowly; bringing his pillow horizontally so Tifa's head rested against it, just like she did on his chest. He found his boxers on the floor along with their clothes that they had tossed off earlier. Smirking he picked them up; wearing his boxers he stepped out of the room, taking one glance at Tifa before closing the door quietly.

He walked towards Denzel's room, opening the door slowly.

"Marlene?" He asked, staring at Marlene who sat on the floor with Denzel playing with toys.

"Hiya Cloud!" Marlene exclaimed waving at Cloud who smiled and waved back. She stood up violently and swung her little arms around Cloud, hugging him tightly. He instantly moved his hands onto her shoulder, pulling her closer for a tighter embrace.

Denzel smiled up to Cloud. "Barret came by this morning with Marlene, he's downstairs. I told him that you were supposed to come to the shops with me but, when I went back with Barret, you and Tifa were sleeping soundly, so Barret said he'd take me and Marlene to the toy shop instead," Denzel smiled.

"Oh," Cloud answered. "I'm sorry," Cloud said.

Denzel smiled. "It's ok."

Marlene stepped back, and went back to her toys with Denzel.

"I'm sorry Denzel," Cloud said, ruffling Denzel's hair.

Denzel laughed, shaking Cloud's hand away. "It's ok Cloud," Denzel said between his laughs.

Cloud nodded and closed the door to Denzel's room, making his way downstairs.

He scratched the back of his head as he entered the kitchen, smirking when from the side of his eyes he saw Barret sitting at the bar stool.

"I always knew you two would end up together some day."

Cloud smiled turned his gaze toward Barret, and then made his way over.

"You didn't-"

Barret sniggered, and then burst out in laughter. "Oh I saw you two, sleeping naked…" Barret winked and nudged Cloud over the bar table.

"I thought you said you'd be back in the summer?" Cloud asked changing the subject.

Barret nodded. "Yeah, about that..Me and Marlene thought we'd stop by for today to say Hi, we're taking a vacation. Thought we'd just say Hi since we were passing through," Barret smiled.

Cloud nodded. "Oh," he answered dully.

"Aw come on man, show some excitement to see me," Barret chuckled.

Cloud smiled and turned to the side. "I'll go wake Tifa, I'm sure she'll want to see you."

Barret nodded. "Uh-huh..Don't start the kisses otherwise I'll never get to see her," he winked.

Cloud gave Barret a glare, then turned to walk but stopped. "Barret," he spoke, turning around and walking back to the bar table.

"Do you think Tifa would want to marry me?" Cloud asked.

"Whoa!" Barret said, stumbling off his chair. "You want to marry her?" Barret asked slowly; walking his way around the bar and toward Cloud. He leaned against the table, listening to Cloud's answer.

Cloud nodded. "Someday...Yes..."

Barret nodded and smiled proudly, he smacked Cloud on the shoulder. "You'll do good boy," He smiled. "You saved the world twice, she'll marry you. She's always loved you Cloud, you just didn't know." Barret said seriously for once, he smiled and then walked off upstairs to Denzel's room.

"Oh, by the way, nice boxers and I like your hair," Barret shouted. Subconsciously Cloud's hand found its way up to his hair, it felt ruffled and dismantled. He chuckled to himself, must have been the result of what happened earlier. Cloud chuckled, shaking his head he walked up the stairs, just in time to see Barret walking into Denzel's room. "Daddy!" Cloud heard Marlene scream.

He smirked, and then turned to their room, opening the door a sudden gush of cool air came running over him as he entered the room. I forgot to turn the air conditioning off.

His eyes came to rest on Tifa who was still sleeping soundly; she was still in the same position that he left her in before. Smirking he leaned against the door frame, thinking of how lucky he was to be loved by someone like Tifa. He walked quietly toward her, sitting himself down on the edge of the bed, taking her hand in his.

He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand, then moved forward and kissed her forehead. Hoping that was enough to wake her, though she didn't budge.

"Tifa," he whispered to her, leaning in to kiss her lips. Just as he was about to pull back, he felt her smiling against his lips.

He watched as she opened her eyes slowly, pulling back he sat up straight again, smiling to her. "Morning," he said happily.

She smiled, yawning and wrapping the blankets around her naked body. "Mmm.." She hummed, stretching and yawning together.

Cloud smirked.

She settled; lying on her back, her arms tightly clasping the blanket to her chest. She looked up at him, noticing that all he wore was boxers and all she wore was nothing.

She smirked. "You look good with nothing on," She noted aloud.

Cloud smiled and nodded. "So do you," he smiled.

"Hmm..come to think about it, I've never seen you in just your boxers," Tifa smiled.

"Well, you've seen me with nothing on a few hours ago," he smiled warmly.

"I love you," she said softly, locking eyes with him.

Cloud nodded, and replied, "I love you too."

Suddenly she opened her arms, calling for a hug.

Cloud chuckled at her sudden childishness and obliged to her wishes; bending down he hugged her, now half of his body was on her.

"Mmm..I love what we did Cloud," she whispered into his ear.

Cloud shifted the pillow away and lay down next to her above on the blankets, arm on her waist; his head resting on her shoulder and nodded. "I love it too," he smiled, leaning in to kiss her cheek. He brushed her hand with his fingers, savouring every moment he spent with her. That was a morning they would always remember, the morning that changed their lives; brought them closer to each other; the morning when the next step in the relationship was taken. "Barret's here with Marlene, their stopping by for the day," Cloud said.

She nodded. "Are they here now?"

Cloud nodded. "Barret and Marlene are with Denzel at the moment," Cloud told her.

"We should get up," Tifa suggested.

"Lets just lay here for a while more," Cloud suggested, continuing to brush the back of her hand with his fingertips.

"I think we should take a shower," Tifa said, breaking the silence.

"Huh?"

"Well, judging from what we did before," Tifa said nervously, "when we made love," she stumbled over her words. "I think they mightn't like our smell," she said.

"Mm.." Cloud hummed happily, "I love the smell," he stated.

Tifa giggled. "But-"

"We did Tifa," he smiled to her, leaning in to kiss her cheek. "We made love, for the first time. I shared it with you," he smiled.

"I know," she smiled warmly, turning her head to the side slightly to feel his nose touch her cheek. She brought her hand up to touch his face; he invited it with a kiss to her palm which made her smile again.

"I never thought of it before," Cloud began, "Well I did think of having children though."

"Really?"

"I.." Cloud trailed off.
