A/N: Terribly sorry to have caused such an extremely long wait to you who actually read this fic!! Just a bit of writer's block, but don't fear, I'm back! :D Enjoy!
Vincent seemed to have his usual calm face on, but was panicking internally. He kept his eyes on where his gloved fingers were wrapped around a warm mug of coffee.
Sitting across from him, Tifa did her best to be patient and to keep from bursting with anxiousness.
Vincent sighed then reached into his cloak, pulling out a small velvet box, causing the woman to gasp.
"I don't know how to ask her." He admitted, still avoiding eye contact.
Tifa smiled warmly, despite the fact he didn't see, and grabbed his hand. "Vincent, it's simple."
He refrained from raising an eyebrow. "And what is your solution?" He questioned quietly.
Tifa sat back fully into her chair and puffed out with pride at being the one Vincent had to come to for such crucial advice. "Well," she began, "You don't plan what you say, you just feel."
He frowned in confusion.
Noticing this, she continued. "Vincent, you know Yuffie better than anyone else. You know what makes her happy, what makes her sad, what gets her angry... If you love her and are confident that she loves you, then you just ask her, letting your heart guide your words."
Vincent soaked up her words and wondered why woman always had to answer in riddles. Despite not fully understanding what she meant, he had to be home soon to prepare dinner for Yuffie and should start leaving.
"Thank you Tifa." He thanked genuinely.
Tifa stood up and grabbed his cup before squeezing his arm in support and beaming up at him. "It's my pleasure Vincent."

Yuffie sat at the kitchen table watching Vincent put the food on their plates. She gripped the table legs tightly, trying not to worry Vincent with her constant pains, which the doctor said would occur more frequently now that she was in her final days.
After a quiet meal on both parts, Vincent led Yuffie into their living room and sat her down.
"Uh, Vince, you okay? You look a little sick..." She said, noticing his face of nervousness.
"Yuffie," He started after a few awkward moments, "I've made the mistake of causing you pain before... and I don't want that for either of us in the future again, especially with our daughter on the way. I love you. I regret taking so long to express what a fully feel for you." He grabbed her hand and forced back a wince at how tightly she was holding onto it.
Yuffie was silently screaming with pain in her abdomen, but throwing a fiesta in her mind at Vincent's touching words. She didn't know which to cry over for.
"Yuffie... what I'm saying is..."
"OW!" She shrieked, unexpectedly, causing him to kneel in front of her in panic.
"What is it? Are you alright?"
Yuffie squeezed her eyes shut. "Shit. I think my water broke."
