Author's Note: Been a very long time since I last wrote about Tifa. Now I'm back. There were lots of other waifus I was gushing over so I got uninspired for a long time.

Enjoy this little piece.

Tifa and Aerith are a very happy wedded couple. They got married over a month ago. They bought their own house and set up everything to make it look as wonderful as possible. And then, they spent the rest of the month spending quality time together, make love if they felt like it and pretty much go out on dates every now and then. Of course, Aerith has her job at the flower shop while Tifa plays the housewife, taking care of the house. Everything was perfect for the two of them.

That is until one night, after Tifa and Aerith make love, they lie under the covers, not a stitch of clothing on them. They gaze into each other's eyes, smiling lovingly at one another. Aerith lets out a soft sigh shortly after, making the black haired woman look at her in concern.

"Are you okay, Aerith?" She asks.

"I'm alright," the brunette replies. "It's just that...I was thinking about stuff lately. I have seen some wonderful families walking by the shop. I thought they were very wonderful, seeing them like this."

"Aerith, you know we can't-"

"Let's have a family anyways!" Aerith cuts her wife off. "It's not like we can never have a kid. All we have to do is adopt someone. I have everything covered, don't worry!"

Tifa opens her mouth to speak, but then smiles and shakes her head. "Oh, Aerith. Always fighting for what she wants. That's so like you."

Aerith giggles. "You know me very well. So...can we~?"

Tifa gives a nod. "If that's what you wish, then I'm in."

"Ehehe! Thanks, Tifa~"

"Anything for you."

*Later*

At the adoption center for girls, they consult with a receptionist who happily accepts Tifa and Aerith's relationship and proceeds to show them the children in the outside at the large playground. They open the double doors and here, there are about 30 kids playing around. They take turns going down the slide, others are spinning around the merry-go-round, other kids are playing tag. A small set of kids are sitting alone.

Tifa and Aerith take a look around, trying to find the right child. The girl in small pig-tails seems cute, but she can be a very messy child, according to the receptionist. Another is a short haired girl who is rather mischievous. Definitely, don't want that in their lives.

However, when they turn toward a beautiful young girl with long black hair with hime-cut style bangs, she looks to be very innocent, cute and a bit shy. The receptionist looks toward the girl and smiles.

"Her name is Hana Bocchi," the older woman says. "She lost her family due to an accident and barely talks to anyone due to her loss. Maybe you two can try to cheer her up."

"Oh, certainly~!" Aerith says.

"We'll do our best," Tifa says.

"Good then let me take you to her," the receptionist says.

She leads the wedded couple toward the small child, who is sitting alone at the bench. She looks up to see people coming toward her.

"Hana-chan?" The receptionist says. "I would like you to meet your new family." She gestures toward the wedded couple. "Tifa-san and Aerith-san. They would like to adopt you."

Aerith gives a sweet smile and waves. "Hello! It's very nice to meet you. I hope we can get along~"

"Don't worry," Tifa leans toward the shy child. "We heard your story. We will try and become the best family you will have."

Hana doesn't respond, instead she taps her index fingers together, whining a bit. She is afraid to speak since it might hurt their feelings if she gives her honest opinion. She has never seen two women together before. Although...they do seem like very nice people. They look like they won't hurt a fly.

"It's alright," Aerith kneels down and spreads out her arms. "Come give Mama a hug~"

Hana looks toward the receptionist, who gives a nod of approval. She then turns back toward Aerith, who's smile never leaves her. Hana slowly hops off the bench and cautiously walks toward the beautiful brunette.

"M-Ma...ma...?" Hana says quietly.

"Yes, that's right~" Aerith replies. "And Tifa will be your Mommy. Okay~?"

Hana looks toward Tifa, who kneels next to Aerith and smiles. The small girl steps closer and closer toward the wedded couple. She realizes that they are being sincere. Deep down, she really wants a family. She starts running toward Aerith and gives her a tight hug.

"Mama...!" Hana sobs.

The receptionist smiles. "She has been alone for about a year. She wanted someone to adopt her, but for some reason, nobody has come for her. I'm so glad you two chose her."

Hana pulls away and looks at Aerith and Tifa, sniffling. Aerith gently wipes the tears and puts her hands on the little girl's shoulders.

"So...~" Aerith says. "Who do you call 'Mama'~?"

Hana slowly points to the brunette. "Ma...Mama..."

"That's right~!" Aerith says happily. "And who do you call 'Mommy'~?"

Hana points to Tifa. "M...Mommy?"

Aerith squeals happily and hugs her new adopted daughter. "Ohhhhh, you're so adorable! Of course Tifa is your Mommy! Yes, you did great, Hana!"

The receptionist giggles. "So I suppose this is your final decision~?"

Aerith picks up Hana and holds her in her arms as she and Tifa stand up. Both wives give a firm nod.

"We choose Hana," they say in unison.

"Great! I'll get the paper work, then~" the older woman bows and then takes her leave.

Tifa and Aerith exchange happy looks and giggle.

*Later*

After paying for the adoption, Tifa and Aerith head back to their home and show their newly adopted child around for a little bit, including her own room. Hana looks around, amazed by how the house is set up. Tifa and Aerith watch their little girl's excitement. The brunette starts to cry in tears of joy with Tifa hugging her to soothe her. Hana turns around with a big smile on her face. A smile that she has shown for the very first time ever since the accident. The small dark haired girl starts to rush toward her new parents, arms spread wide. Aerith happily picks her up and spins her around with her own smile, despite the happy tears. Tifa joins in the hug as soon as Aerith faces her wife. They all share happy giggles and "awwww"s. Hana has found a brand new family.

*Later That Night*

Aerith cannot sleep. Neither can Tifa. They both face each other and slide closer to intertwine hands.

"Tifa..." the brunette whispers.

"Yes, honey~?" Tifa whispers back.

"I am...so happy we got Hana a home," Aerith says. "I'm...just happy." Tears start to fall from her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I am very emotional lately since we heard about Hana's past."

Tifa gives her a gentle hug. "I'm happy, too. Trust me, I really am."

"Oh, Tifa," Aerith rests her head on Tifa's large chest.

"Let's make sure we make Hana's family life the best," Tifa says softly. "She needs a loving family life after all."

Aerith looks up at her loving wife and nods. "Yes...yes! We will absolutely help Hana's life be better."

They gaze into each other's eyes. Aerith caresses her wife's cheek. Tifa smiles and presses her cheek against Aerith's hand while putting her own on top of it. They then lean in and share a passionate kiss.
