"I'm sorry Tifa we searched for them everywhere" Rude said holding the shaking girl in his arms. "We just have to pray he's safe and they don't have them. Reno and I will keep searching"
"I shouldn't have let him go I should have put up more of a fight I knew he was due in a few weeks and I just let him go off to Gongaga alone! I'm a bad friend." Tifa cried "Now he and the babies are god Rude I don't even want to think about it." They sat in the bar waiting for Vincent to call if anyone could find them on foot Vincent could.
"Did...did something happen? Where's big brother?" I quiet sleepy voice asked slowly easing himself onto the barstool next to the depressed redhead.
"I'm sorry baby I couldn't find him" Ren said gripping his glass of whisky tightly not wanting to look his lover in the face.
"You tried maybe father & Loz will have better luck" Kadaj said wrapping his arms around Reno's waist and whispering in the Reno's ear which caused Reno to turn as red as his hair.
"Hey why are you crying shhh quiet down, you don't want to wake your father & sister they need a lot of rest you know." Sephiroth said softly picking up the little boy and rubbing his back soothingly. "shh it's ok what's got you so fussy little one?" It had been 2 days since he found the twins and Cloud in the abandoned cabin, in those two days Sephiroth had kept himself busy reluctantly going to a nearby town for various supplies including diapers, milk and other much needed supplies and caring for the three. In those same two days Cloud remained unconscious but he and the little girl started to become noticeably improved, they were still pale but Sephiroth was sure they would recover and hopefully Cloud would regain consciousness sometime soon he thought and he patted the little boy's back gently earning himself a very audible burp and a snuggle. "Obviously taking after Zack". Speaking of which shortly after they reached the cabin Zack disappeared had he imagined him and if so how did he find the cabin he thought. He had totally forgotten about Zack once he saw the blond spikes and smelled the blood there was only Cloud the boy he had loved many years ago had grown into a man and evidently moved on surely the father of these children was probably worried to death he thought picking up the little girl so she could join her brother as he eased all three of them into the rocker to sit by the fire. "What kind of man would let Cloud out of his site especially in his condition" Sephiroth said to the twins dozing in his arms and made mental note to give the person hell when he found them. He was a about to make another comment before he heard a whimper to his right as he turned his head he saw hazed blue eyes go from sleepy to confused to frightened.
"Seph…Sephiroth? Don't please don't hurt them put them down, don't take them." Cloud said in a shaky voice as he tried to prop himself up, why was this happening. why now was he seeing things? He mentally questioned himself.
Sephiroth carefully stood up and put the babies in their moses basket before hurrying to Cloud.
"Easy Cloud you lost a lot of blood I'm not going to hurt you or them you know me, I could never…" he stopped remembering the last time they had seen each other, shaking his head he put a few pillows against the headboard then eased Cloud back before turning to go to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. "Are you in any pain?" he asked.
Cloud sat dumbfounded this clone wasn't scary; it was as close to the original Sephiroth as he remembered but he refused to let himself fall into a fake sense of security not after… he closed his eyes trying to forget it all. "A little." he said hoarsely watching Sephiroth intensely.
"Ok here drink this and I'll get you something for the pain relax I'm not going to hurt you." Sephiroth said handing Cloud a cup of water.
Cloud slowly lifted the glass to his lips. "Where am I?" he asked nothing in the room looked familiar so he knew he wasn't in Kalm or Edge.
"Cabin outside of Nibelheim, here take this." Sephiroth said returning to the kitchen to put various items into a mug with hot water.
"Nibelheim? But how?" Cloud asked taking the pills eying them cautiously.
"It's not poison, it's just ibuprofen. I was walking back from well that's not important when I saw Zack running up the path he said he said you were in trouble. When I found you, you were so pale all three of you were I couldn't just leave you there so I brought you here, here drink this you've been asleep for two days" Sephiroth said taking the cup of water from Clouds hands before placing the mug in his hand. "Careful it's hot I know you probably prefer something covered in cheese but I'm not sure you can handle that right now but if the broth stays down I promise I'm make you a filling nutritious breakfast and no I don't have any of that brightly colored cereal that you're so fond of." he said in semi-parental tone as he checked the babies that were sleeping soundly "Why were you out there and in your condition?"
Cloud looked at him in shock thinking, this clone was definitely different from the rest he knew that he (Cloud) enjoyed a large bowl of sugar frosted moogies every morning. "I thought I had more time." he said placing his hand on his stomach before looking at Sephiroth who was making himself comfortable in the chair beside the bed. "I wanted to visit Zack's parents I hadn't seen them in awhile, Tseng had some of the stuff from Zack's apartment he thought they would like to have and I needed to make a delivery to gold saucer. On my way back things didn't go well I was attacked by a grand horn. After I killed it I started to cramp a little so I decide to ride until I found a village but it got worse so I went to the cabin I saw in the distance. I hopped that the owner would come home soon but it was abandoned and the cramps got worse" Cloud explained he noticed Sephiroth was listening intently he started to blush the look on Sephiroth's face was so familiar, reminiscent of how he would tell Zack & Sephiroth about what was going on in class. "I knew something was wrong soon as Aeris and Zack showed up and well you know the rest, are the babies ok?" He said gripping his mug.
Sephiroth nodded "yes they're ok I was worried about the girl through she's weak and pale as you but your son he's doing well" Sephiroth said getting up to place the mug on the bedside table before moving the pick up the twins and handing them over to Cloud.
"Oh they look just like you Seph!" Cloud said and immediately regretted the verbal slippage; he knew Sephiroth would want an explanation. He didn't know where the comment came from. "you seem different from all the other clones."
"Clones?" Sephiroth looked truly confused. "Explain Cloud."
"it's a long story." Cloud shook his head.
"We have time, you're staying put until you're stronger, but we should find a way to contact their father I'm sure he's worried sick about you." Sephiroth said wanting to add something to the effect of 'I know I would be but then again I wouldn't have let you out of my sight.' but it wasn't his place to say.
"I doubt it, he knows I wasn't an exactly willing participant and I don't know what his intentions are I just want to keep him far away from them" Cloud said trying to suppress the feelings of fear that crept in as poked his daughter's nose and smiled.
"What do you mean? Sephiroth said sitting next to Cloud a small bit of anger flaring unintentionally in his voice.
"Since you've been gone since I've, we've been fighting Clones of you the worse of which emerged during the fight with the remnants or so I thought." Cloud paused before continuing. "I was making a routine delivery when I was attacked by a Sephiroth clone I tried to fight him but something took over and I froze I couldn't move I tried but I couldn't even scream but I remember him knocking me out" Cloud took a deep breath remind himself for now he was safe. "When I woke up I was strapped down, in a lab somewhere and he was…he was inside me" the tears began flowing from the mako blue eyes.
"Its ok Cloud you're safe I'll keep you safe" the words slipped from Sephiroth's mouth before he knew it, he wrapped his arms securely around Cloud's neck and looked down at the newborns.
"Seph…Seph I'm scared I don't understand." Cloud turned and buried his head in Sephiroth's chest.
"What don't you understand?" Sephirtoh asked not understanding what Cloud meant.
"Why am I loved by the goddess?" he sniffled and Sephiroth looked him with an alarmed expression.
