I am so sorry for the long wait, I lost inspiration to write and forgot about this. but having received a PM from a fan, I looked though my stories and decided to write another chapter for this.

41. Have Yuffie rushing into the Bar shouting excitedly.

"What's that noise, outside?" Tifa asked looking at Cloud in the corner of the bar, who was nursing his well deserved beer after helping Tifa throwing out a rather huge trouble maker.
"Oh.. My.. God.. Teef... you are not going believe this news.." Calm down Yuffie, take a seat.
"I can't teef, I'm SOOOOOO happy..."
"What's the news Yuffie." Cloud asked her, making Yuffie jump a mile.
"Oh Cloud sorry didn't see you in the corner there, its Rufus.."
"What do you mean.. Rufus..?"
"He Proposed, and... I accepted.." Yuffie squealed in delight, showing Tifa the engagement band.
"Wait, Yuffie when did you and Rufus start going out..?" Cloud walked over confused.
"A few months ago, I thought all of avalanche knew?"
"oh, congratulations" Cloud responded and walked away.
"I thought he'd be happier for me" Yuffie said staring at Cloud
"Ignore him, you know how much he hates ShinRa, so tell me all the details.."Tifa replied.

42. Come home late from a delivery run, finding the bar thrashed.

Pulling into the private parking bay of the bar, Cloud sighed to himself thinking about the terrible day he'd had. He walked over to the bar, and found a sign up, 'Closed for private party', oh damn that's all I need, hopefully Yuffies hen night will be over now, afterall, it's just after 1am. Pushing the door open, he saw the tables all over turned, and broken glass everywhere..
"What happened here.." clould asked himself.
"Hey, get me another beer here" Cloud heard Yuffie shout.
"Get your own beer" he heard Tifa shout back from the kitchen.
Cloud watched Yuffie attempt to get up, but as she took a step she nearly fell over, Cloud rushed over to help her, as he grabbed her round the waste, yuffie squealed, and turned shouting "Get off me, I'm ok, more beer.." when he refused to let her go, she looked back to see who dared hold her, recognising Cloud, she threw her arms around him and kissed him passionately on the lips. Breaking the kiss Yuffie tried to speak but instead passed out in his arms, so he carried her to the guest room, then went to find Tifa.

He found her in the kitchen mumbling about him. "Cloud, why do you keep leaving us, don't you know how much I love you?" He leaned down to pick her up, as he did she opened her eyes, smiling then spoke again "Cloud you came for me..." he looked at her, but she fell asleep again. he shrugged and picked her up and took her to her room, then went back to the bar and started to clean up finally finishing at 5am..

43. Tend to a busy bar and a hungover Tifa.

Tifa woke and looked at her clock, 11am, she went to go back to sleep, then shot up.. 11am! The kids are late for school! Getting out of bed she realised she was fully dressed, as she stood, the room started spinning, and she quickly sat down, as she sat on the bed, Cloud walked in, "you're finally awake, I see"
"Cloud, the kids, they got school!"
"Kids? Tifa, they moved out last month remember?"
"Oh, yeah, I remember now" Tifa said relaxing,
there was a knock on the door, and Yuffie walked in "Cloud here you are! The customers are asking if the bar will open soon?"
"Yeah, can you open up, start taking orders, I'll be down shortly to help"
"Cloud, I don't feel very well" Tifa said rushing to the bathroom, Cloud just sighed and followed to check on her, after ensuring she was ok, he went downstairs to start preparing the luchtime food orders, while thanking Minerva he took some lessons from Tifa.

44. Propose to the girl you love.

After the final customer had left Tifa locked the door, and looked at Cloud, "Cloud I can't believe how much of a help you were today,"
"It was nothing Tifa" he replied and started cleaning up
"I mean it Cloud, this morning, I felt terrible, but you took care of me, as well as keeping everyone happy here till I felt well enough to come help." Tifa walked over to Cloud grabbed him pulling him closer to her and kissed his cheek, "I'm going take a shower, you ok to finishing cleaning up down here?"
"Yeah, this is nothing." While tidying his mind started to wonder to what tifa had said while drunk '..don't you know how much I love you...'.

After finishing cleaning up. He went upstairs, and noticed the shower room door was ajar, meaning she'd finished her shower he walked towards his room, then stopped and walked to Tifa's room instead. Knocking on the door, he asked if he could enter.
"Tifa, err can we chat about last night?" he said walking in after being allowed entry.
"Sure, everything ok?"
"Yeah, just when I put you into bed, you were talking in your sleep, about my never being there, and I just wanted to apologise."
"Oh Cloud, that was a long time ago, ever since we defeated Kadaj and his group, you've always been there, you promptly return your calls, and always tell me where you are."

After chatting for a while they went silent, eventually Cloud spoke again "you also said that you loved me?"
"I do Cloud, you're like a brother to me"
"Tifa, I know I usually reply that you're like a sister to me, but I wanted to be honest, I didn't want to break your heart, but after talking to Yuffie today, I decided to take a chance." he then went quiet and took a breath. He then stood up off the bed, and went down on his knee, "Tifa Ann Lockheart" I love you with all my heart, I always have done, and always will do, will you do me the honour of marrying me?"
Tifa didn't know what to say, she stood up closed her eyes, then opened them, and knelt down next to Cloud, taking his hands in hers "Cloud I love you with all heart, I am constantly thinking about you, you're in my thoughts when I wake up, there when I fall asleep, and I have oftened dreamed of being married to you, and raising our own children together, but now that you have asked that dream is being reality I find I'm unable to answer, I need time to think things through. Please give me some time"

45. Find a rejection letter from Tifa.

"Tifa, does this mean the answers no?" Cloud said walking downstairs into the bar area holding a letter.
"Why would you ask that Cloud, I love you, but I have not reached a decision yet". Tifa responded wiping down the bar.
"Then what's this letter I found?" Cloud asked handing her the letter.
"Let me see that.. oh NO! This wasn't for you.. It was supposed to go to Rude.. I gave this to Reno this afternoon, while you were on a delivery, Wait, if this is still here, where's that letter I wrote for the man who delivers the beer, to confirm we want a double delivery next week?" at that, Rude swaggered in.
"Hey Baby, I'm here to make that double delivery you ordered" Rude said.
"Rude, err, there's been a mix up, that letter you received was supposed to go to the beer man, here's your letter.." Tifa responded handing him the rejection letter.

46. Apply makeup on an irate princess.

"Where is he?" Yuffie asked Reno who had just walked into the church waiting room where she, cloud and Godo was awaiting Rufus's arrival.
"He's just landing, there was a delay, he will be here shortly" Reno replied, and quickly walked out as Yuffie went to grab him.
"Calm down Yuffie" Cloud said,
"HOW DARE HE BE LATE! Especially after all the deadlines he set me the last couple days" Yuffie screamed at Cloud tears streaming down her face.
A few minutes later, Reno sheepishly walked back in, and said "ok, he's here, he's waiting." he quickly left.
"About time, let's get started" she went to grab Godo's arm.
"Yuffie, wait, your makeup is kind of smudged" Cloud said, she rushed over to the mirror, and looked at her reflection in horror, and started to sob again.
"Everything is ruined, I can't get married like this." she Pouted.
Cloud grabbed the makeup trolley and ordered Yuffie to sit down, when she did he started to dry her tears and wipe the old makeup from her face
"What are you doing Cloud" Yuffie asked.
Cloud shushed her then spoke "Godo, you go inform everyone she'll be out Shortly, I'll just redo her makeup"
A couple of minutes later Godo returned, just as Cloud finished applying her makeup, she looked at her reflection, and smiled in delight hugged, and gave him a kiss, "Where did you learn how to apply makeup"
"Err, it's a long story Yuffie"
"I got to hear that story, Cloud, but now I got to get married" she walked to Godo then took his arm and walked out of the waiting room to get married.

Only 6 this time, as each part was longer than I planned.
