CHAPTER 11

Namine had gone out that afternoon after having an important phonecall. When she came back she had a large coat over her arm and tear staines on her face. She walked upstairs and unwrapped the coat where a small newborn baby was. Aerith came upstairs holding a wash basket Namine didn't want to know what her reaction would be like.

Aerith just stood there staring at her and the baby. Finally Aerith spoke. "What happend?" She sat down beside her daughter and listend to whatever she would have to say.

"The phonecall I got. It was Stara's husband... he said that she had died in childbirth." Namine told Aerith. Aerith sighed, Stara was Namine's best friend. "When I got there, her husband was laying dead on the floor with his wrists slit. I went to get help from the police. A few hours later they said that the baby would have nowhere else to go but with... me."

Aerith didn't know how to react. "Namine. Baby's take alot of work. I know how you feel right now but I don't think you'd be able to handle the preasure."

Namine frowned. "Please mom. Just let me do something on my own for a change. I've got to grow up one day." Namine begged.

"I'll go get your father." Aerith walked downstairs and got Auron up there to speak with her.

Auron walked over to the bed and sat on the end of it. "Namine." He softly said making sure he had her attention. She looked up at him. "Your mother is right. Children take alot of work. Take it from someone who knows." Auron sighed knowing that she had already fallen in love with it.

"What about when she's older? She's going to want to know who her parents are. What about when she finds out that your not her real mom?"

"First of all she's a he! Second I'm not going to lie to him about who his parents are." Namine argued with him.

"Well at least name him if he's going to be part of the family!" Auron said reciving a hug from Namine who wouldn't stop saying thankyou.

Auron walked downstairs to Aerith. "What did you tell her?" Aerith asked running up to Auron.

Auron sighed. "She's already fallen in love with the child. They're stuck together like glue now." He winced at Aerith's angery face.

"What?" Aerith shouted at him. "She's to young to have a responsability like that! She's throwing away the childhood that will be over soon!"

"When you love someone you love them for good. She has to have a responsability in her life to remember Stara by." Auron cooly told Aerith hoping that she would understand.

Namine came down the stairs holding the child. "I've chosen a name for him! His name's Storm."

Aerith sighed and walked away not approving with Aurons answer.
