A/N: I don't own any of this
5 months later…
"Hello beautiful!" Cooed Yuffie as she swept up baby Rachel up into her arms. "Gawd you must be so proud!"
Shera smiled, "I'm just glad to have her out of me, it was exhausting! Being pregnant!"
Yuffie chuckled.
"Yeah lucky she got Shera's looks hey?" stated Cid wrapping an arm around his wife.
"Well she's got your hair colour."
Cid grinned, "I can't wait to teach her the family business."
"Aww poor thing, she's going to be fixing planes while the other kids have a tea parties. You tell her if ever she wants to play Princesses to call me."
"Aw my girl ain't gunna be no sissy." Cid protested
"You calling me a sissy?"
"No cos you got mad moves, quite freaky actually."
"You just keep digging yourself in deeper, don't you?" sighed Vincent.
Yuffie laughed and passed the baby back to Shera, the child smiled happily.
Vincent handed Yuffie back her bouquet.
Red XIII joined the group.
"Cloud is here already, it shouldn't be long now."
"Ha! Nice bow tie!" Laughed Yuffie.
"What! I wanted to look smart."
"It's fine Red." assured Vincent who, however, had refused flat out to wear a bow tie.
Reeve came down the steps of the church. "I think you should get in here now. Barret just phoned, they are on their way."
Cid, Shera, Rachel and Red XIII joined him in returning to the church.
Yuffie looked up at the ancient building.
Vincent followed her gaze and tried to read her thoughts.
"Maybe someday you and I could…"
"Vincent, I don't care about that, I'm just glad to have you in my life." She said with a smile.
"Vincent Valentine, You are supposed to be inside now." called Shelke from the doorway, she shook her head and rushed back to her place inside.
"Go, Tifa will be arriving soon and she'll kick your butt if you mess this up." Yuffie gave him a firm push.
Vincent made his way up the stairs, He stopped at the top and turned back.
"Yuffie?"
"Yeah, did you forget something?"
"Its just that I…well, I wanted to tell you that… I love you." He turned again and strode into the church.
Yuffie stood with her mouth open in surprise, he had never said that to her before. She wanted to run down that aisle and fling herself into his arms. But just as she went to take the first step towards enacting this plan she heard the wedding car pull up. It wouldn't be right to scene steal on Tifa's big day.
Tifa stepped out of the car.
Yuffie regained her composure.
"Wow, you look so beautiful." Yuffie hugged her friend, her dress was perfect.
"And you look cute too Marlene." Marlene did a twirl to show off her dress.
"So do you, You look pretty with flowers in your hair."
"Ain't nobody gunna say I look cute?" asked Barret, the girls laughed.
Tifa took his arm and the 4 of them made their way into the church.
Barret handed Tifa over to Cloud. "Don't you ever break her heart."
"I won't." Cloud replied confidently, he took Tifa's hands in his own and the ceremony begun.
"So how does it feel to be Mrs. Strife?" questioned Reeve as he stole a dance with the bride.
"Pretty good, I admit that I used to write 'Tifa Strife' in my diary when I was younger."
"Hah, I think we've all done that."
"UH" Tifa raised an eyebrow.
"Well not Strife…I was a lonely child."
Tifa laughed, Reeve was a weird guy, especially after a drink or two.
"Why did you invite the Turks?"
"I didn't officially, but you know what they are like when they catch whiff of a free bar." She explained.
"Mind if I cut in?" asked Cloud, "Reno's looking for a dance partner, you like red heads don't you?"
"Not male ones." objected Reeve, Cloud grinned and took Tifa.
Reeve made his way over to one of the tables.
"Not dancing then?" he asked as he sat down.
"It is not really my sort of activity." Replied Shelke.
"Oh I see, seems like its not really one of Cid's skills either."
"Yes, but it does not stop him from attempting to mimic a robot." she observed.
Reeve laughed.
Yuffie crossed the dance floor, carefully weaving around people so that she didn't drop the cake she was carrying. She sighed in relief when she reached her destination without dropping any of the cake. She pushed the door to the balcony open with her back and stepped out into the fresh night sky.
"I bought you some cake."
"Thank you, I'd only like a small amount so you can have the rest if you want." Replied Vincent who was leaning against the rail.
"Sweet! You are a legend." Yuffie heaped some on to the fork and raised it to Vincent. He took a hold of her wrist and ate the cake.
"Actually that's very nice, can I have a bit more?"
"Nah-ah, you said you didn't want it." She teased and gave him another fork full.
Vincent nodded in approval. Yuffie was a little disappointed that there was only a little left for her, her disappointment faded quickly when she remembered that there was still 5 tiers remaining of the cake, she would just have to make sure she got at it before the Turks did.
Yuffie put the empty plate down on the ground beside them and stood beside Vincent.
"So um, correct me if I'm wrong but earlier it sounded like you said that you loved me?"
Vincent tilted his head as if to say "That's right, what of it?"
"I love you too Vincent, I have for a long while now."
"Then what shall we do about it?"
The two of them had spent weekends and the odd day here and there together since they had first admitted a mutual attraction to each other, but saying goodbye and not knowing exactly where they stood with each other had become difficult for both of them.
Vincent took her hand in his and kissed her fingers.
"Yuffie I messed up my life once because I didn't take action, I do not intend on repeating that mistake."
"Vince, you don't have to worry, I find balding psychopathic scientists absolutely repulsive."
Vincent was shocked that she went there, but still he admired that she did, he laughed in spite of himself, "That's not funny."
"Your giggle says otherwise."
"I don't giggle." He shuddered.
"You don't have to do anything to show that you love me, the very fact that you haven't murdered me in my sleep by now is evidence enough of your devotion." Yuffie stroked his cheek.
Vincent gave a slight laugh and wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her forehead.
"I think all we can do is take each day as it comes and see where it takes us. Agreed?"
"Agreed. But you know? It is already past midnight, a new day, so what shall we do?"
Yuffie grinned, "Whatever we feel like, we could sneak more cake, we could dance, we could go back to your room, we could…"
"That all sounds good, but I think we should dance before we have cake."
"Yup that's fine, feel free to rearrange the agenda." Yuffie grinned as Vincent spun her around and dipped her down.
"Who knew you had such smooth moves!"
"Time for more cake?" he asked smiling.
"You got it." Yuffie grabbed his hand and lead him back inside.
"Where are you two off to?" Asked Cloud as he carried Tifa up the stair case that lead to the honeymoon sweet.
"Bed, its been a hectic day." Yuffie pretended to yawn.
"But, Yuf, your room is down the other hall way." pointed out Tifa.
Yuffie and Vincent stuttered slightly.
Cloud raised an eyebrow wondering what excuse she was going to come up with.
"I just got lost." blurted out Yuffie.
"Okay, goodnight." said Cloud nonchalantly as he carried Tifa up the stairs.
They burst into laughter when they were out of sight, they heard them exchange "yeah rights and as if's."
"Do you think they suspect?"
"No."
"Really?"
"No I'm being sarcastic, they know. But I really could not care less, Right now I just want to get out of this uncomfortable suit."
"Spooky, because, right now, that is exactly what I want to do too." said Yuffie slyly.
The End.
