chapter 13

The boys came back the next day shocked to see storm. Having a baby in the house would not be good since they had bought a dog!

The three boys sat on the sofa and grabbed some soda's. Aerith came downstairs and almost triped on all the slobber. Of corse she was alergic to fur!
Her eyes began to water and she began to sneeze like crazy! Causing everyone who was downstairs to look up. Including the dog.

"Get that... achoo!... do... coo... dog... out!" Aerith strugeled to say.

Roxas took the dog outside and tied him to a tree. "Why can't we keep him?" He asked her wanting to keep his pet slobery animal.

Aerith sighed when it was gone, but didn't know who to tell them about Namine. "Look when you were away, something happened to Namine..." That caused Riku to jump out of his seat.

"Issheokay?WasitSephiroth?Whereisshe?" Riku asked her fastly wanting to know about his sister

"She is fine, but Stara died while you were away, and her husband killed himself." Aerith gulped.
"Namine found Stara's husband sprawled out on the floor dead next to Stara's child. She got someone to help and they said that since the child had nowhere to go... she could look after him"
The three boys stood with their mouth praticaly touching the floor! "And myself and your father agreed."

"She gets to keep a baby! Why can't I keep the dog!" Roxas complained. "Dogs die early!"

Aerith shook her head. "Because I'm alergic to them, and it slobbers, and it's a health hassard."

"Well I'm alergic to babys!" Roxas told her not notising the fact that his brothers had made their way upstairs.

"We'll talk about this later when Auron comes back."

Riku and Sora walked upstairs into their sister's and Riku's bedroom. (AFTER ALL THIS TIME THEY STILL SHARE A ROOM.) They slowly opened the door and saw Namine on her bed asleep holding Storm.
"Don't wake her up." Aerith told them. "She was up all night."

They nodded and made their way back downstairs, well at least Sora did. "Ain't you coming Riku"
Sora asked.

Riku shook his head. "No. I won't make any noise." He walked into his room.

"Okay."

Riku sat on his bed staring at his sister and wondered what he was going to do now. His thoughts went back to the Mi hen operation. How had Kinock known about her secret? Only him and Namine knew?
He knew that Stara hadn't really been pregnant. And Stara was never married!
Riku's thought's kept on asking him questions and giving answers.

Namine started to wake up. "Riku?" She moaned sitting up. "Your back?" Riku nodded and sat on the end of her bed.

"Was the birth painfull?" He asked.

Namine nodded. "Very. You know when they say that a paper cut is the worst pain you can get?"

Riku nodded again.

"Nu Uh! Wrong!"

Riku laughed and decided to ask her a question. "Do mom and dad know about this?" Namine shook her head. "It's probebly best that they don't know. But they also have the right to know the truth."

Namine nodded and her eyes filled with tears. "I know but I'm scared Riku. I don't know how to tell them that Sephiroth got me pregnant and that Stara and her husband never exested." She started crying.

Riku wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him.

Aerith was on the other side of the door listening. She brought her hand to her mouth and ran into her room waiting for Auron to come back from work. Now she understood. Namine had been wearing extremly long baggy clothes, the fact that she had never seen Stara. Why would Namine lie to her about this?

Auron came home a few long hours later. Aerith ran into Auron's arms and told him what she had heard. Even if Auron didn't want to belive what she said he still listened.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Sora asked Roxas.

Roxas smiled. "What tells you they're even talking?" He slyly asked.

"Gross!"

Upstairs Namine and Riku could hear everything that was being said in their parents room next door to theirs. "How could she do this?" Namine asked Riku the trust once held for her mother now gone.
Riku shook his head and carried on holding his quivering sister.

Riku looked over at the small sleeping child in a padded box. "I don't know." They heard the door swing open and their parents walk in.

"Namine." Aerith said sitting on the bed. "Why didn't you tell us?"

Auron sat down as well. "We wouldn't have been angery."

Namine closed her eyes. "If it was the other way around, could you?" Namine asked them both leaving both parents wondering what to say next.

"Was it Sephiroth?" Auron asked her.

Namine nodded. "Riku if she couldn't tell us then you should have done!" Aerith scolded him. "It could have stopped all of this!"

That was it, he couldn't take anymore of this! "What then! It would have stopped her from getting pregnant? It would have stopped Sephiroth?"

Auron sighed. "Aerith. Wheather they told us or not it would not change anything. Even if she did lie to us, I think that you would have done the same thing."

"Riku is sixteen years old! He should start acting like it!" Aerith continued.

Auron stood up grabbed her hand and pulled her back into their bedroom for her own scolding. "Thats it Aerith!" They heard him shout at her in anger. "Ever since you found out about this child you've been acting like a four year old! And yet you have the nerve to tell Riku that he acts like a child!
At Least he accepts the honest truth!"

The two listened to the argument going on in their parents room and tried to sheild themselves from the world around them. "It's all my falt." Namine whimpered.

"No it wasn't." Riku told her holding her tighter. Storm started to cry from all the noise. Namine shakily got off the bed and walked over to the Small box. Riku watched as she picked Storm up.

Riku stood up as well and walked over to his sister. "Can I hold him?" Namine nodded and passed him to Riku. "He looks like you." Riku told her.

Namine sat back on her bed and fell asleep.
