Chapter 11- Two Hospital Visits and A Proposal
Aerith sat up, her shoulder hurt so she layed back down. She looked over. Leon was sitting in the chair with his head down. She smiled and coughed. Leon looked up and smiled. He jumped up and hugged her.
"Aerith!" He said.
"Hey Leon!" Aerith said. He smiled.
"Where is Cloud?" Aerith asked, remembering what had happend.
"He said he had business to take care of." Leon said. Aerith gasped.
"LEON! NO! Cloud is going to kill him you have to find him he promised he promised!" Aerith rambled. Leon held her hand.
"Kill who?" Leon asked.
"Sephiroth! He came to the apartment and pushed me over and that's why I hurt my shoulder. Cloud is going to kill him. But he promised me he wouldn't do that, he promised no more fighting!" Aerith sobbed.
"Shh, Aerith sshhh. I'll go find him. I'll be right back ok?" Leon said. He kissed Aerith's forehead and walked out. On the way out he bumped into Dr. Green. He shut Aerith's door.
"Hello Aerith. I have news for you..."
Leon got in his car. He drove to Sephiroth's Fights, the place where he first met Cloud. Leon parked his car and went to the back door, gunblade drawn. He opened the door and saw Cloud and Sephiroth. Sephiroth's mouth was bleeding. He wiped it away and punched Cloud. Cloud stummbled over but regained balance.
"Cloud!" Leon said.
Cloud turned, and Sephiroth attacked. He stabbed Cloud in the arm with his sword, and Cloud fell over. Sephiroth walked to Leon but he cocked his gunblade and put it on Sephiroths throat.
"Touch me, or him, or any one I know, and I will personally murder you." Leon said. Sephiroth took off running out a door. Leon heard him start a car and drive off. Leon dropped down and picked up Cloud. He blinked.
"Leon...hows Aerith?" Cloud barely choked out. He was bleeding badly.
"It's going to be alright, ok? We will get you help." Leon said, taking out his cell phone and called 911.
"Leon...tell Aerith I love her." Cloud said. Then he stopped breathing. Leon cried.
"Oh god oh god CLOUD!" Leon cried. Just then the door opened and the paramedics came. They put an oxygen mask on him and wheeled him out. All Leon could do was cry and watch. He walked out to his car and drove to the hospital. He went into Aerith's room.
"Did you find him!" Aerith said, sitting up. Leon looked down.
"I found him..but..." Leon said, then he heard something. Aerith looked out the room's window and saw Cloud on the stretchor with the oxygen mask and about five doctors wheeling him down the hall. She burst into tears.
"Cloud..." Aerith sobbed. Leon walked over to her and took her hand.
"Hey. Cloud is going to be ok. They got him breathing again and they said he is doing fine." Leon said. Aerith smiled and wiped away her tears. Then she got a serious look on her face.
"Leon. I have to tell you something." Aerith said. Leon stood up.
"Am I gonna like it?" He asked. Aerith sighed.
"Leon. I am pregnant." She said. Leon walked around.
"Did that bitch Zack do it. I am going to fucking murder him" Leon said.
"NO! Leon, I am four months pregnant with Cloud's child." Aerith said.
"Did he force you? I swear that even though I love Cloud I will fucking murder that ass." Leon said.
"NO! Me and Cloud were kissing and one thing led to another so." Aerith said.
"Well, okay, but Aerith I love you and I would do anything for you you know that?" Leon said. She nodded.
"Besides, it's not like you and Yuffie did anything exciting that night?" Aeith said. Leon blushed and Aerith gasped.
"LEON! UGH! I AM GOING TO MURDER YOU!" She yelled, playfully slapping him. He smiled.
"I'm just kidding." Leon said. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Can I come in Leon?" Cam Yuffie's voice.
"Shit...I haven't proposed to her yet. Aerith, pretend to sleep please!" Leon said. Aerith smiled and closed her eyes.
"Come in Yuffie." Leon said. He sat down as Yuffie came in. She sat next to Leon.
"Hey." She said. Leon kissed her and smiled.
"Yuffie, I need to ask you something." Leon said.
"Yes." Yuffie said. He got on the floor and took out a ring.
"Will you marry me Yuffie Kissangari?" Leon asked. She burst into tears and hugged him.
"Yes! Yes I will!" Yuffie said. Leon put the diamond ring on her finger and kissed her. Then he brought her into a hug. Yuffie looked behind her. Aerith had her eyes open and was smiling. Yuffie let go of Leon and went to Aerith.
"Aerith! How long have you been awake?" Yuffie asked. She laughed.
"Long enough. I am happy for you. But what about Vincent?" Aerith asked.
"Psht. Forget him. I am old enough to make desicions on my own now!" Yuffie said.
"Yuffie. I need to tell you something. I'm-" Then there was a knock on the door. A nurse walked in.
"Cloud is recovering. We are going to wheel him in in a minute." She said. Aerith nodded.
"Yuffie, i'm-" Ring Ring went Leon's cell.
"Hello, no, Reno this is a bad time. Okay, bye." Leon said.
"Sorry, won't happen again." Leon said.
"Yuf, I am-" Knock knock. Aerith silently screamed as they wheeled in Cloud.
"Cloud, sweetie you need to hear this too." Aerith said.
"Who's Cloud." Cloud said, looking dazed and confused.
"Cloud, you are Cloud. Now I need to tell you something." Aerith said.
"That's great...um..who are you?" Cloud asked. Aerith sighed.
"I am Aerith, your wife, remember?" She said.
"I am married to you...wow...I'm lucky." Cloud said.
"Ok, well then, Yuffie, I am-"
"HEY! I am sleepy!" Cloud said, then he passed out. Aerith pushed the nurse button.
"Pleae take him out, I am trying to say something to Yuffie." She said. Aerith sighed.
"Okay, Yuffie, I am-"
"Ok we are here to get Cloud." A nurse said, wheeling him out.
"JUST TAKE HIM OUT AND NO MORE GOD DAMN DISTRACTIONS!" Aerith yelled. Yuffie looked shocked.
"Aerith...you cussed.." Yuffie said.
"Yuffie, I have been trying the past five times to tell you that I AM PREGNANT!" Aerith screamed. She looked over at Yuffie.
"Whats your status?" Yuffie asked, making sure Zack didn't do it.
" Four months. It's Clouds." Aerith said. Yuffie hugged her.
"Congrats Aerith!" Yuffie said.
"Well, I am sleepy. You guys have fun planning the wedding and telling Vincent!" Aerith said, then she dozed off. Yuffie and Leon hugged her and walked out. They went to Leon's house to plan on how they were going to tell Vincent.
The Next Day...
Aerith woke up. She was still in the hospital. He shoulder didn't hurt anymore. She looked over. Cloud had been wheeled back in. He was still asleep. Aerith smiled and stood up. She walked out into the hall. Yuffie and Leon were at the reception desk. She walked to them.
"Aerith what are you doing?" Leon asked. She smiled.
"I want to go home, my shoulder doesn't hurt anymore." Aerith said. The three walked back to their room. Cloud was still asleep. Aerith climbed into the bed with him and layed on his chest. She closed her eyes and listened to him breathe. Leon and Yuffie jumped into Aerith's bed and watched Aerith. Aerith smiled. Suddenly, Cloud's chest didn't go up. His heart rate moniter beeped and Aerith jumped up. Leon and Yuffie stood up.
"Whats going on?" Leon asked. Aerith started to cry and laid her head on Cloud. The nurse came in and tried to move Aerith but she screamed.
"NO! Cloud! He can't die! NO! CLOUD!" Aerith sobbed. Leon and Yuffie pulled Aerith as the nurse and doctors ran to Cloud. They wheeled him out of the room. Aerith cried while being held back by Leon. Yuffie looked at Leon. They sat her down on her bed.
"Aertih! Calm down! The doctors are going to help him. It's ok, it's ok!" Leon said, she hugged him and cried into his shoulder.
"He can't die...He just can't!" Aerith sobbed onto Leon. Then Dr. Green came is. Aerith ran to him.
"Where is Cloud! What is going on? Is he dead? Where is he tell me!" Aerith screamed at him. The doctor set her down on the bed.
"It's ok. Cloud is breathing again. He was stabbed through his arm into his lung, and it was punctered slightly. We are going to give him surgery tonight at seven. You can visit him, but he won't be able to talk to you. He is in a breathing mask and on heavy anestesia." Dr. Green said. Aerith cried and laid down. She cried herself to sleep. Yuffie looked at Leon.
"Is she going to be ok?" Yuffie asked. Dr. Green smiled.
"Yeah. She is just overwhelmed. See you all later." Dr. Green said, he walked out the door. Yuffie looked at Leon.
"She was not overwhelmed. The man she loved stopped breathing. She was dieing on the inside." Yuffie said. Leon hugged her and kissed her head.
"We need to tell Vincent soon." Leon said. Yuffie nodded. They sat down in a chair. Yuffie rested her head on his shoulder.
"If you stopped breathing, I would die too." Yuffie said. Leon kissed her. They kissed more and more. They sat there, making out for a little while. Then they heard Aerith.
"Cloud...no what are you doing? CLOUD! NO STOP! CLOUD CLOUD!" She screamed in her sleep. Leon ran to her. Yuffie went on the other side.
"Aerith...Aerith calm down!" Yuffie said, patting her arm.
"Aerith Cloud's ok!" Leon said, stroking her forhead. Aerith gasped and sat up. She panted and looked over at Leon, then at Yuffie.
"I...had a bad dream...the docotors were going to kill him..." Aerith said. Leon patter her forehead.
"It's ok. Do you want to go see him?" Leon asked. She nodded. Yuffie helped her stand and they led her down the hall.
"Excuse me!" Yuffie said, leaving Yuffie and Leon and chasing Dr. Green.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Where is Cloud staying?" She asked.
"He is in Room 345. Top floor." He said, then he walked away. Yuffie ran back to Leon and Aerith.
"Let's go! Top floor!" Yuffie said. The three of them walked to the elevator. A "Broken" sign hung on the doors.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me? We are on the first floor and how many floors are there?" Aerith said.
"Umm... 14?" Yuffie said. Aerith groaned and threw her head back.
"I am NOT walking up twelve floors. Cloud, I love you, but that is too much!" Aerith said. She turned away and walked back to her room. Leon and Yuffie laughed. They held hands and walked to Aerith.
"When are the doctors releasing you?" Leon asked.
"Well, I am not leaving this hospital until Cloud is better and right here with me!" Aerith said.
"Ok, well me and Yuf are going home. I love you Aerith." Leon said. He hugged her and they walked out. Aerith smiled.
"Have fun you too!" Aerith smiled. Leon scowled. Yuffie laughed. They left. Aerith stood up and walked out.
"Excuse me. Nurse! NURSE!" Aerith yelled at a nurse. She jumped and turned.
"Excuse me but the elevator is broken and my husband is on the top floor. I am pregnant and do you expect me to walk up 13 flights of stairs oh hell no. You better get someone to take me upstairs or so help me god I will-"
"Miss, I will get two nurses to carry you up the steps. We can transfer your room up there if you want to." The nurse said.
"Yes. I would like that." Aeith said. Then two male nurses came to Aerith. One picked up one leg and the other the other leg.
"Hello. I am Alex." Said the brunnette on her right.
"And I am Felix, a transfer from Russia." The tan blonde on her left said. Aerith smiled.
"Me like.." Aerith whispered. They carried her up the steps until they got to the top. Felix kissed her cheek and Alex shook her hand, and they walked back down the steps. Aerith walked down the hall. Wait a seccon, what was his room number she thought. Aerith walked to a nurse.
"Excuse me, what room number is Cloud Strife?" She asked.
"345." She said, and walked away. Aerith walked down the hall to 345. She opened the door. Cloud was laying on the bed with an oxygen mask on. He turned his head and smiled. Cloud raised his hand and shook it (wave...). Aerith ran to him.
"Oh Cloud! Are you okay? Of course not you got stabbed! Cloud I love you don't die!" Aerith said, she took Cloud's hand. He smiled. Aerith kissed his hand and layed on his chest. She was so worried for him. Aerith looked over at the clock. It was seven. The doctors would be coming in...nevermind. The doctors had just came in.
"Ok Cloud it's time for the surgery." Dr. Green said. Aerith stood up and sat down in the chair. She watched the doctors wheel Cloud out.
"I...love you Aer." Was all Cloud got out. She smiled as a tear ran down her cheek. The nurse closed the door. Then opened it again.
"Excuse me Aerith? Your room is right next door to his." She said. Aerith walked next door and layed down in the room exactly the same as all the other ones. She closed her eyes and went to sleep.
The Next Morning...
Rrrinnng. Rrrinng.
"Hello?" cam a voice.
"Vincent...h-hi!" Yuffie said, scared of her brother's reaction.
"Whats going on?" He said in his plain, emotionless voice.
"Umm, well...you see...LeonaskedhimtomarrymeandIsaidyesisthatokitisgreatbye!" Yuffie said, hanging up the phone. Then it started to ring. She cringed and opened it.
"H-hello?" She said. Vincent started yelling and Yuffie brought the phone away and turned to Leon.
"It's for you..." She said, handing him the phone. Leon answered it.
"Hello? Oh, no, yeah I did, NO! Shes not! Ok. Oh. yeah ok. N-no! Yeah, no, yea, uh uh...maybe. Yeah you will. Ok. Bye." Leon said. He turned to Yuffie.
"He said it was fine, he was upset because he thought you might be prenant and I was only marrying you out of guilt." Leon said.
"Well, I'm not! And you love me, right?" Yuffie asked.
"Nope! I hate you Yuffie Kisssangari!" Leon said. She placed her hand on her head in a dramatic way.
"Oh woe is me, woe is me! Leon doesn't love me! Whatever shall I do?" Yuffie said. Leon smiled and kissed her. Then he looked at the clock. It was 2:45.
"We should go see Aerith." Leon said. Yuffie nodded so they went to the hospital. Leon showed the nurse his pass and walked down the hall to Aerith's room. He opened the door. The bed was made, and no one was in it.
"Where is she?" Yuffie asked. Leon went to the front desk.
"Where is Aerith?" He asked.
"She checked out of that room and is on the top floor. Room 343." The nurse said. Leon sighed a sigh of relief and took Yuffie's hand. They had a long walk ahead of them. They finally made it to the top and went into Aerith's room. She was sitting up watching TV eating some applesauce. Leon smiled and sat down in the chair.
"Hello. Have trouble finding me?" Aerith said, not taking her eyes of the TV.
"Kind of. Why did you move?" Yuffie asked, sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Cloud was on the top floor. I wanted to talk to him. Stairs were a problem, so I told a nurse off and they got two hunk male nurses to carry me upstairs!" Aerith said, taking a bite of applesauce.
"Wow. Lucky. Is Cloud still in surgery?" Yuffie asked. Aerith nodded. Then the door opened. The trio turned there heads. Dr. Green walked in.
"Who here is related to Mr. Strife?" He asked. They all raised their hands.
"Umm, who here is in closest relation?" Dr. Green asked. Leon and Yuffie took their hands down.
"I'm his wife." Aerith said.
"Ok. Please come with me into the West Wing." Dr. Green said. He led Aerith out into the hall. Leon and Yuffie looked at each other. All they could do was wait.
"Where are we going?" Aerith asked. He just smiled and they pushed open a door. Cloud was on a bed. He no longer had his mask on, but he did have a bandage around his chest. He smiled when he saw Aerith. She ran to him.
"CLOUD! Are you okay?" She said, takng his hand and not hugging him, for fear she might hurt him. She took her hand and kissed it.
"The doctors (cough) said that (cough cough) I could get out of (coughidy cough) here in (ahem cough) a week if (cough) I do better (coughcoughcoughcoughcough)." Cloud said, coughing every few words.
"Umm, coughing is normal. It should go away in a week." Dr. Green said. Aerith nodded.
"Cloud, are you feeling okay?" Aerith asked. He nodded.
"My throat hurts. Water...water.." Cloud said. Aerith stood up and got a cup of water. She handed it to Cloud. He drank it and threw the cup on the floor.
"Ah, better. How are you doing Aerith?" Cloud said.
"I'm good. You know what I've noticed?" She said. He shook his head.
"We seem to like to hospital alot." Aerith said. Yeah...and in 4 months it will be even more fun here... Aerith thought.
"Haha. Yeah we do." Cloud said. Aerith kissed him.
"Well, I am going to check out today, but I will visit everyday Cloud. I love you!" Aerith said. She kissed him and walked out the door. She walked down the hall into her room. A nurse handed her her clothes and she went to her room. Leon and Yuffie jumped up.
"Hows Cloud? Is he ok? What's going on?" Leon said.
"Cloud's fine. His surgery went well and he is coming home in a week. I am going to check out and visit him later." Aerith said.
"Ok. Me and Leon are going to Vincent's. Oh, and we talked to him. He's fine with it. In fact, he is going to help plan the wedding." Yuffie said. Aerith smiled.
"Thats great!" She said and hugged Yuffie.
"Umm Aerith...have you told Cloud about...yeah.." Leon said. Aerith got quiet.
"No. I was going to wait until he was home and better. But, then it would be hard to hide. In a week it will be five months." Aerith said. She picked her clothes up and went into the bathroom to get dressed. She put them on and walked out. Leon and Yuffie were making out. Aerith laughed and walked out behind them. She slammed the door and ran. Aerith watched Yuffie and Leon run out and look for her. She came out from around the corner laughing. Leon looked at her.
"Are you mad at us?" Leon asked.
"No silly. I thought it would be funny!" Aerith said. Leon smiled and took her hand. Then he took Yuffie's hand and they walked down the steps. They made it to the bottom and Aerith stopped.
"Man...what a workout!" Aerith said. Yuffie laughed and they walked out. Leon opened the car door. Yuffie sat down. Leon got on the other side.
"Ahem...forget about me?" Aerith said.
"Oh yeah...and your pregnant. This is a problem." Leon said. Aerith sighed an angry sigh.
"Fine! Make the pregnant women walk! I see how it is." Aerith said. She walked down the road. A car pulled up next to her. A man whistled.
"Ooh Wee baby. Were ya heading?" He asked. Aerith turned at him.
"Listen buster, don't even think about hitting on me. I am pregnant and married. And if you even THINK about doing anything to me I will kick you so far up your ass it will come out of your mouth, capiche?" Aerith spat at him. He rolled up the window and he drove away. Then Leon and Yuffie drove up.
"Aerith come on! You can ride in the front!" Leon said.
"Nope, it's too late. You just pissed off a very hormonal pregnant women." Aerith said and she stormed off. Leon sighed and drove off. Aerith sighed and walked out the road. She went to the apartment and up the steps. She opened the front door. The TV was still on, and some lights were on. She turned the TV off and sat on the couch. Aerith sighed. How in the world was she going to tell Cloud?
