Jenna stared at the smiley face on the third small plastic stick she'd checked now. She found it oddly ironic that the positive signal was optimistic. A smiley face now, before had a pink plus sign, and before that a red circle. All of the little symbols were positive.
"Jenna? Are you alive?" Cloud called from outside the bathroom door. She sighed quietly as she pulled her skirt up. For someone she barely knew, and a Shin-Ra cadet, he was being amazingly good about babysitting.
Babysitting.
Oh god. At first all Jenna could think of was the panic that came from it all. Then came a realization as her hand slipped to her stomach. The child is Angeal's...
"Jenna?" Cloud's nervous voice asked again. With out thinking, Jenna charged out and tackle hugged him with a squeal. He had been the bearer of this terrifying and exciting news.
"Are we interrupting something?"
Jenna turned to Zack as he and Sephiroth walked in. With out a word, she jumped off the worried looking Cloud and hugged both of them before she could think. Zack blinked as she jumped off him and tackled Sephiroth.
"Now I know we missed something..."
She won a few bucks in the lottery. First time she played." Cloud said quickly and Jenna glanced back to him, offering silent thanks for not telling. She turned back to the others and laughed.
"Yeah...I guess I over reacted." She added as she took a step back. Sephiroth chuckled lightly as he shook his head.
"Sounds like a reason to celebrate. Where do we get food..." He commented. Zack glanced at the cadet.
"Cloud, you used to live around here. Where can we order in to the mansion?"
"Ah...I think there's a pizza place..."

Jenna blinked as she realized she wasn't the only one awake. She wasn't sure how she knew, but she could sense a good amount of stress as she walked out of her room. The pregnancy...She realized. It's enhancing my power somehow... wow. I didn't even know I could be... It was all very surreal still, but the anxiety was gone. She was excited now. Or had been until thenew found anxiety caused by other's people's stress hit her.
Cloud was trying to sleep in his-but he kept thinking about Tifa. Zack was dreaming of Aerith, but he was worried, in the side of his mind. He'd spoken to Sephiroth earlier...
"He's in the basement studying?" She whispered as she made her way downstairs. Why did a Shin-Ra based mansion have so many secret doors and other halls? She could vaguely hear someone's tragic thoughts, but she kept out of them. It was far to dark for her to dwell. Then she walked into the archive room and gasped. It was a mess. The file cabinets were overturned completely. Folders were scattered around everywhere, their contents on the walls and floor, scattered over the desks. And the stress was building with another's anxiety.
"Sephiroth?"
Jenna approached slowly as she walked down the shelved hallway towards where he read one file intently.
"What's wrong?"
"...I found my mother today." Sephiroth whispered. "Or where she is." He added, causing Jenna to blink.
"...you've been looking for her for...like, ever. Why are you upset by this?" Jenna asked as she approached him. Sephiroth slowly looked up at her, his eyes confused with a tint of desperation.
"Because my mother...was a cell donation into a test tube. The reason my blood could not be used...was because I am not human."
"What? You look human to me!" Jenna exclaimed, trying to laugh it off. But she was queasy. Shit. What time was it, three?
"Really?" Sephiroth threw the folder down and and a glossy picture came out. It was humanoid...to a point. "That thing is my mother!"
Jenna would have been able to hold in the nausea the image resurrected, except for one word on the bottom of it. One single word that was also scribbled down her arm.
Jenova. And she lost it all, falling to all fours and puking her guts out. Sephiroth faltered for a moment and knelt next to her slowly.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost it on you like that..." He trailed off as Jenna wiped her mouth.
"No, I ate more pizza then I should have..." She attempted to laugh it off. Then she realized what he was looking at. Her tattoo.
"...are you-" He began to stammer as Jenna stood up.
"Do I look old enough to be a mother?" She stopped and corrected herself. "Your mother?" But as Jenna exclaimed this she saw the hope in Sephiroth's eyes die and regretted it immediately. Why couldn't she have told him yes? She didn't know why she had that word unless...
"...I don't think I am...but...I don't know what my connection to that project is...except I was one of the first clones..." But it was to late. He was gone. The man Angeal had entrusted he safety with was lost, and it became clear in a moment as he grabbed her by the neck and held her to the wall.
"You're a clone of her." He pointed at the picture, no longer calling it an it. Jenna's eyes widened in terror-at his fury an at the idea.
"N-no! I'm not!" She cried out, hoping it was the truth. "Don't say that!"
"You are what's holding mother's cries back...your voice...so close to hers..."
"What are you talking about? Sephiroth!" Had he gone insane that fast?
"So you must be gone...for her to awaken..." His hand moved to the desk, where his masume lay waiting...
"No!" Jenna screamed. "Don't kill us!"
