A/N: I hope you all enjoy this chapter, it's a bit longer so eat it up while you can!
Yuffie woke with a start when she heard the front door slam downstairs, and the yells of two familiar voices ring throughout the tavern. Yawning, she decided to get up.
While she was trying to get herself off the bed, a very frantic Tifa came bustling through the door. "Oh my gosh!" She said covering her mouth and rushing over to her friend. "Cloud wasn't joking when he called me."
Yuffie raised a brow. "Cloud? Joking? You have got to be the one kidding here Teef."
Tifa pursed her lips and crossed her arms. "How many months are you?"
"Uh, about four I think..."
"Why didn't you tell me before Yuffie?" The hurt was definitely detected in her voice.
Yuffie sighed. "I don't know, I just... I guess I was just so mad at everyone and everything when Vince left... I just didn't tell anyone. I waited forever in that stupid Mansion. Finally, I called Reeve, he doesn't know either by the way, and asked if he could find Vincent. But after he told me where he had been these past coupe months... I couldn't stand being alone and I needed a friend to talk to."
Tifa looked at the ninja sympathetically and then put a sad smile on her face. "Come on, let's get you some breakfast. You must be hungry."
Yuffie looked at her. "You have no idea."

While waiting for Tifa to cook breakfast, Yuffie got a show when Marlene and Denzel had asked Cloud where babies come from. He had blushed and sputtered and finally told them that when two people love each other (causing Yuffie to snort) they make a wish and a baby appears in the mommy's stomach.
"I, uh, called Reeve last night." Cloud said breaking the silence at the table. Everyone turned their vision towards him.
Yuffie glared and swallowed her pancakes. "What did he say?" She asked, trying to be nonchalant, but instead coming out a bit lowly and frightening to Cloud.
Tifa looked back and forth between her love and her best friend. She noticed Cloud looked a little scared so she decided to take it from there. "Well, Cid should be dropping him off later this afternoon. He probably wants to talk to you about... something." She said, glancing at the kids curious expressions on the last part.
"Great," Yuffie said, stabbing her pancakes. "That's all I need is for Cid to know I'm knocked up."
"Our friends would find out eventually Yuff." Cloud said.
"Yeah, yeah."
The hours passed and Yuffie had been helping serve people their drinks, which received an amount of stares. I mean, it's not everyday you see a pregnant women serving alcoholic beverages.
Around five, Tifa had generously closed the bar for some privacy when Reeve had called and said they would be there shortly.
"Maybe you should sit down and rest Yuffie." Cloud said, eyeing her worriedly as she was washing dishes. She grinned and shrugged.
"I'm fine Chocobo head."
An opening of the door brought all attention to the entrance of the bar.
"Hello everyone." Reeve said, smiling when the children ran up to greet him.
Cid sat down on a stool and watched as Yuffie did the dishes. "What's up with you brat? Why ya all quiet and cleanin'?"
She rolled her eyes. "Maybe I just wanted to help Tifa out."
Cid snorted and put a toothpick in his mouth. "Yeh well,"
"Why don't you two play upstairs, hm?" Tifa said to the kids. Marlene nodded and grabbed Denzel's hand leading him up to Cloud and Tifa's room because there was a TV in there.
"Yuffie," Reeve said after the kids were gone. "How are you?"
Yuffie dried her hands and walked around the bar earing two pairs of eyes to widen. The toothpick dropped out of Cid's mouth and landed on the floor. "What the hell happened to yer stomach!?"
Yuffie scowled. "What the fuck do you think!?"
Reeve recovered from his shock and had a serious expression on his face. "Is it... Vincent's?"
Cid's face scrunched up. "Vincent's!? Ha, yeah right! The brat and the vamp, I'm sure!" That earned him a slap in the arm from Tifa.
Yuffie glared and poked her finger at Reeve's chest. "I don't want him knowing! Do you hear me? If he's ready to get over her, like he said he'd been before, then maybe I'll tell him! I don't need a man to raise my own child, do you understand!?"
Reeve stepped back and Cid sat there confused. "Now wait just a damn minute!" He yelled. "Are you shittin' me? This kid is Vincent's?"
Yuffie pursed her lips. "No, it's Reno's." She said rolling her eyes before getting annoyed. "Of course it's Vincent's you idiot!"
"No need ta get yer panties in bunch."
"Hey," she snapped now pointing at Cid. "You leave my panties out of this!"
Cid raised his arms in surrender and then lit up a cigarette. "So," he said, blowing the smoke out. "Who's gonna help ya raise the kid?"
Yuffie sighed and smiled in thanks when Reeve pulled up a chair for her. "I told you, I don't need a man to help me raise this child. I'm fine on my own. I'll probably find a hotel or something for the time being."
"Like hell you will!" Tifa yelled, causing everyone to look at her. "That's ridiculous! You've got a family right here and you're staying with us and I don't want to hear another word about it!"
Yuffie looked at Tifa with watery eyes. "Really Tifa? You mean it?" She sniffed.
"Of course Yuffie. We're always here to help."
Yuffie smiled and wiped her eyes. "Thank you."
"I'm sorry to cut this little moment you have going here short, but Vincent has just left me a message on my phone asking where you're at." Reeve interrupted looking at Yuffie.
"Why don't you tell him to kiss my ass!" She yelled, causing the three men to flinch and Tifa to pat her arm in a sympathetic manner.
"Perhaps it would be better if you two talked." Reeve said slowly, causing Yuffie to scowl.
"No! I don't want to see him ever again! Ever! Let him stay in that cave with his precious Lucrecia, I don't give a shit! You tell him I said that!" Yuffie got up after and grabbed some chips to munch on.
"Yuffie, be reasonable." Cloud said, trying not to anger her further. No success.
"Me!? Me be reasonable! Tifa didn't run out on you when you said you loved her did she? No, so you don't know what it feels like to have your heart crushed and ripped do you!?" She was already in tears by the time she had finished.
Tifa got up and began to rub her back to sooth her. "Come on, let's go get you some tissue." They exited the bar and went to the bathroom.
Cid got up and walked to the door. "Where's he at? You tell me right now!"
"Cid, what are you doing?" Reeve asked, rising from his seat.
"I'm gonna kick his ass, that's what! You tell me where that sonofabitch is at!"
"Calm down Cid." Cloud said, running a hand over his face.
"I ain't gonna calm down! Look at what he did to Yuffie! That shit head is gonna pay!"
"We understand that he abandoned her, but he still doesn't know about the child yet. We have to get him here without Yuffie killing him, before anyone can kick his ass." Reeve said.
"And since when do you care about Yuffie's personal life?" Cloud said, raising his eyebrows.
Cid flicked his nose and huffed. "I don't! I just, we're all friends and I don't like seeing her all depressed and shit. It don't suit her."
The other men nodded.
"Vincent has told me he should be arriving here soon." Reeve said, breaking the silence.
Cloud's eyes bulged momentarily. "Are you crazy! Yuffie isn't ready yet to see him today!"
Cid lit another cigarette. "Let 'im come. I gotta few words ta say to him anyways."
"She's taking a nap with the kids." Tifa said, walking down the stairs. She stopped when she noticed the guilty faces on the men.
"What did you three do?" She asked lowly.
"Teef-" Cloud started.
"The brood's on his way over here." Cid interrupted, puffing out some smoke.
Tifa eyes widened and she covered her mouth. "Are you insane!" She hissed at them. "Yuffie is in no ability emotionally to see him right now! Do you have any idea what the stress can do to her baby?!"
A random man entered the bar with a few of his friends. Unfortunately for them, they had entered at the wrong time.
"Hey," Tifa yelled. "The sign says CLOSED! Can't you read!? Get the hell out of here!"
The men ran off, leaving Tifa to presume her ranting. "You don't know the first things about pregnancy do you boys?!"
Reeve was now wondering why he didn't send Cait Sith than come himself, and Cid was now wondering if she was on any meds or not. Cloud, however, was used to Tifa's rantings.
"Oh no, what am I supposed to tell Yuffie?" She said, now looking worried.
"Just calm down Tifa." Cloud said, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Everything will turn out fine."

Yuffie woke up for the second time today and heard voices downstairs. Suddenly, her face paled and her stomach jerked.
Shit. She thought, before becoming angry.
"Ooooh! He's got some nerve!" Yuffie walked out the door and decided to give Vincent Valentine a piece of her mind.
