Disclaimer: I don't own FFVII
A/N: Okay, so I'm getting these really good reviews, and I just want to thank everyone who has! Here's the next chapter, I hope I didn't have anyone OOC! I really hope I did good and it was realistic in a sense, ya know? Anyhoo, here's chapter three. Enjoy!
"You!" A screech flew out, grabbing the attention of everyone in the room, which included Tifa, Cloud, Marlene, Denzel, Cid, Nanaki, Reeve, and Vincent. Apparently, Nanaki had tagged along with Vincent to visit.
Yuffie flew down the steps, ignored the shocked stare of Vincent, and slapped him. The sound of it echoed and the bar was so quiet afterward, you could hear a pin drop. He was lucky she had left her shuriken at the Mansion.
"How dare you show up here!" She hissed, ignoring the stinging pain in her hand. Vincent hadn't even flinched, and that angered the woman in front of him... so, she slapped him again, much harder, causing her hand to throb.
"Yuffie-" he tried speaking.
"Don't," she started, voice dripping with venom. "Don't you dare try to talk to me! You are going to listen to every fucking word I have to say! Sorry kids." She said, glancing at the children.
Vincent didn't say anything, and she continued. "Listen here, I don't care what you do! Why don't you just go run off again! Run away! Go into that cave, why don't you! I don't need you to help with this child-"
Vincent narrowed his scarlet eyes and looked at her. "This child I have barely found out about?" He asked lowly.
Yuffie's eyes widened before she scowled and went to slap him again. He grabbed her wrist and the other one when she tried to hit him with her other fist.
"Don't touch me!" She yelled, jerking out of his hold on her. Tears welled up in her eyes and she stepped back. "Don't ever touch me again!"
Suddenly, a pain ran through her stomach and she suddenly felt like a knife had gone through her gut. She grabbed onto the nearest table with one hand and had the other on her belly. She hissed in pain and fell to her knees.
"Yuffie!" Tifa yelled running over to her.
Vincent had crouched in front of her and ordered Denzel to call the ambulance. The other men were all listening to things Tifa was instructing them to do.
"It hurts Tifa." She cried before blacking out.

Outside of the emergency room entrance, Vincent was leaning against the wall, breathing in the crisp December air and was so deeply lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear a cursing pilot come outside.
Cid lit up a cigarette and turned towards the gunman. "You know I should probably kick yer ass right now." He said, causing Vincent to look at him, then resume looking at the ground.
"Perhaps you should." He replied.
Cid snorted. "Don't tempt me." He glanced at Vincent before shaking his head. "Why'd ya do it?"
"..."
"Why did ya leave her like that?! I don't want to hear any bullshit either!"
A few moments passed until he spoke. "She... said she loved me."
Cid flicked his bud on stomped on it. "So you left because she told ya she loved ya? It wasn't because there was another man, or she was stealin' your materia, or usin' you or somethin'? You decided to ditch 'er 'cause she said she loved ya?" He snorted again. "Damn, you got it tough."
"I'm a monster, I am not worthy of her love!" Vincent growled.
"Will you shut yer damn mouth Valentine!" Cid yelled, getting angry. "Yer damn demon was sent into the lifestream, ya said so yerself! Ya age like everyone, ya eat like everyone, you're a goddamn human, not a monster! And if watching a woman that loves ya, and is carryin' your baby has ta suffer makes ya realize that, then that's a damn shame!"
Cid continued. "And yer right, you ain't worthy of her love, but she deserves ta be be happy. And if lovin' you makes her happy then I think you should get yer shit together and give her happiness."
Vincent remained silent.
Cid shook his head. "Yuffie's been through a lot of shit, and I'm not about ta let her get her heart broken anymore. So take yer pick Valentine. You stay and go in there with her, or you leave and go back to yer damn cave or mansion or where ever the hell you go. She's the only thing I got close enough like a daughter and I ain't about ta let you hurt her..."
He dusted his shirt and made to go back to the waiting room before turning back around. "Don't ever tell her I said that either. I'll see ya inside, or maybe not."
After a couple minutes Vincent made his decision and got up from the wall.

"So is everything...?" Yuffie asked worriedly, gesturing with her hands.
The Doctor smiled. "Your baby is fine Ms. Kisaragi. It's seems as though there was an amount of stress that caused you to have some nausea and dizziness with your minor contractions."
"Minor!?" Yuffie said, glancing at the nurse, who fortunately happened to be pregnant as well. "Do your contractions feel minor? I don't think you understand the pain we women suffer here Doc."
The Doctor laughed and closed his chart. "I suppose you're right Ms. Kisaragi. We-"
They turned toward the door when it opened. Yuffie grit her teeth together. "What are you doing here?"
"It is my child, is it not?" Vincent asked, locking eyes with her.
The doctor looked between the two and noticed the tension in the air. He wisely decided to leave them alone. "Well," he coughed nervously. "If you have any questions, please buzz me. Come along Naomi." He said, grabbing the nurse.
When they left Yuffie was too tired to start an argument, so she sat back against the large fluffy pillow that the Doctor had generously provided.
"How is the baby?" Vincent asked quietly, breaking the silence.
Yuffie wanted so much to cry but she kept her tears in. "Fine."
He tried again. "How are you?"
"Fine."
"Yuffie... talk to me." He pleaded.
She turned her head toward him and narrowed her big indigo eyes. "I shouldn't have to! You're the one who has to talk pal, not me!"
He sighed. "I'm sorry..." Yuffie could hear the sincerity in his voice and had to make herself stay furious with him. "I.. I ran from my feelings."
Yuffie snorted and looked out the window and watched small snowflakes fall. "Yeah, well, I'm just sorry I wasted my time waiting for you to show up."
"I'm sorry I let you down Yuffie. I let you and this baby down..." He sighed again. "I know my apologies don't mean much right now... and I'm not asking you to forgive me... but.. know that I am here beside you and will be for this baby always."
Yuffie started to sob quietly. She was so confused because not ten minutes ago had she wanted to strangle this man, but now he had somehow made her feelings and love for him rekindle, not that she was going to tell him though.
She didn't forgive him, however, but in time.. maybe she could.
"Vincent," She cried. "I just don't know if I can forgive you."
Vincent walked over to her and wiped the tears from her eyes, hoping he wasn't taking it a step overboard. "Please do not cry Yuffie."
She sniffed and wiped her nose with a tissue. "It's going to take time Vincent. Time to earn back your trust; a lot of time."
"I will wait as long as you need me to."
They sat in silence for a long time before Cloud and Tifa decided to come in. Tifa grabbed Yuffie's hand. "The Doctor said you can come home now."
"Ugh, thank Gawd! I miss sharing a bed with Marlene. She has so many stuffed moogles to cuddle with." Yuffie grunted, trying to pick herself off the bed and hesitantly grabbed Vincent's offered hand.
"Thanks." She muttered.
As they exited Cid threw Vincent a look that pretty much said, you're lucky you made the right choice.
Maybe there was hope for the future.
Hope you enjoyed it. No flaming or I will crawl into the fetal position and cry, while I hug my Pikachu plushie. XD
