Reno rolled over feeling around for the small device that would not stop playing the tone of 'itsy bitsy spider' "where the fuck are you?" he groaned and scooted up a bit his bottom protesting due to it's rough handling a hour before, the annoying device started ringing again, "This better be good" Reno said finally finding his phone on the bedside table. Beside him Yazoo started to stir but luckily didn't wake up and Reno knew for a fact that Kadaj could sleep through anything after a few good rounds of sex and the sex they just had was beyond good. Reno rubbed his hands over Yazoo head and smiled it was the first time the younger man had taken a more dominate roll in their relationship, it usually took Reno and Kadaj hours of sweet talking and snuggling to get the man to give in to some of the admittedly bizarre request. But, Reno had to admit after the initial discomfort it felt good to have both men inside him between Kadaj's rough thrust and Yazoo's steady pace he wasn't sure when he should moan or scream.
"Hello, Reno are you listening?" Tseng said he was obvious Reno wasn't paying attention.
"Oh sorry boss what were you saying something about shoes? Elena bought new ones?" Reno said still distracted by the kiss Kadaj has just given his thigh.
"No I said we need you and Rude back at the office ASAP Elena and I found something when we were searching the old headquarters" Tseng said not at all surprised by Reno's inability to pay attention.
"Sure thing" Reno said searching for the restore materia he had packed in his duffle bag. "We'll be there in a hour two at the most." he told Tseng hanging up before Tseng could lecture him and demand they be there in no less than 30 minutes. "I have to go to the office for little while ok boys? I'll be home soon and when I get back you'll get round two ok?" Reno whispered to them and turning to the small bathroom to shower and heal himself.
Sephiroth sat quietly in the neo-natal unit of the small hospital watching as the nurse pricked the bottom is his daughter's foot which caused the little girl to cry. Placing his hand on her head he tried his best to comfort her. "I know that hurt a lot didn't it? But its ok I'm sure I had it done and so did Cloud and we both turned out fine." The little girl ceased her crying and instead decide to frown angrily at the blob in front of her. The nurse giggled at the two of them.
"Once she turns 13 you'll be seeing that frown a lot trust me, I see it at least 4 times a day from my 3 girls." She said turning her attention to his son.
"I'm looking forward to it." He said with a smirk "How are they? Has their been any word on Cloud?" he asked by time they got to the hospital Cloud's fever was out of control and his breathing was so shallow Sephiroth feared the young man would stop breathing before they got to the hospital.
"The twins are doing well your son is 6lbs 7oz and 20 inches and your daughter she's 5lbs 2oz and 16 inches small but healthy she'll be fine. I'll see if I can find the doctor alright? I'll be back in a few minutes." She said leaving the small room.
Fifteen minutes later the nurse returned with two pacifier and baby bottles. "Doctor Fennell will be here soon he's just finishing up with your friend. I'm sure they're hungry I'll help you out. And these" she said placing the pacifiers on the small table beside the cribs "Will keep these two calm." Sephiroth nodded and listened intently as she explained the proper way to feed and burp. Once they were finished a middle aged man walked into the room "Are you the man who brought in Mister Strife? Can I have a word with you outside?" Sephiroth looked at the twins not really wanting to leave them alone.
"I'll stay here with them go see your friend." she said and Sephiroth muttered a thank you before joining the doctor in the hall.
"Your friend is stable we're moving him into a room right now. When you brought him in you said that he was once apart of Shinra's SOLDIER program correct?" He asked as Sephiroth nodded. "Because of the enhancements anyone exposed to mako and the cells they use usually has a hard time fighting off infections and basic bugs especially after a serious injury they're vulnerable to many types of illnesses. That's what happen your friend he went through something the male body isn't really supposed to go through but due to the fact that he's enhanced his body could handle that kind of stress but birth was just a little too much for him and put a enormous strain his body. Now his body is trying to heal the damage plus fight off the infection. We could use materia to heal him but it will be much better for him if we let him heal naturally and let his immune system take care of the rest." The doctor explained looking down at Clouds chart, "We've got him on an antibiotic drip once his fever breaks and he's finished the IV you can take him home. But for the next 14 – 20 days I would advise you to limit his movement bed rest would be best for him actually in addition to 14 days of antibiotics I'd like to do a follow up appointment in 10 days also."
Sephiroth nodded "I'll make sure he does both but we were planning on returning to Edge at the week is he well enough to travel?" Sephiroth asked.
"I would give him two or three days before he travels and I have a colleague in Edge I'll give you his name and number before you leave. Also, I have these pamphlets on infant care we have a book store downstairs in the pharmacy where you can pick up some additional reading." Doctor Fennell finished just as his pager went off "Excuse me I've got to go if you have any questions I'll be doing my rounds in a few hours feel; free to ask me then. Oh and by the way your friend has been moved into room 9 you can go see him anytime you like." he said hurrying down the hall.
Sephiroth quietly entered the Cloud's room careful not to wake the sleeping man "You have to come back to me ok Cloud? I promised I'd get you and the twins' home safe and sound. I'll do whatever it takes to keep all three of you safe. I'm trying not to but I'm having feelings for you again and just want to be with you and our children." He took Cloud's hand in his a little startled when Cloud squeezed back.
"Take me…take me home Seph" he said hoarsely Cloud said turning his head to look at Sephiroth and frowning.
"Not until the doctor gives you and the babies the all clear and even then you're on bed rest." he said before asking "What? Are you in pain?"
Cloud pointed and frowned "You changed your appearance I like how you look." Cloud said taking a deep breath "I don't like you with black hair."
"Joy of Jenova cells and I know but I've done some pretty horrible things so it was unavoidable I promise once we're home I'll change back" he said playing with Clouds hair.
"You better." Cloud yawned unable to keep himself awake.
Sephiroth smiled and waited for Cloud to fully fall asleep and walking out of the room and to the nurses station to inform them he would be leaving for a few hours.
"No! Over my dead fucking body" Reno screamed "I will not do that to Kadaj or Yazoo"
"Which ever one you choose will be totally safe we'll move all three of you to a bigger apartment in tower five." The blond man with glasses said.
"It's an excellent way for us to rebuild Shinra and see if we can better understand what happened to Strife" Rufus said leaning forward.
"Oh tower five and it's for the good of the company why didn't you say so earlier." Reno said sarcastically, rolling his eyes as the doctor and Rufus smiled in unison thinking he was being serious. "No I promised and I'm going to keep my promise you're not turning either one of them into fucking lab rats. Do you fucking hear me you Hojo wanna be! Cloud may have been able to fight off Jenova but who the fuck knows if they can they're pure Sephiroth and Jenova cells." Reno closed his eyes and tried to calm himself. "I will not get one of them preggers just so you can find out if the Jenova cells or whatever had something to do with the reason Cloud could carry a baby. It was a sheer miracle they made it back and they were sane when they did. Do you even know what will happen? What if they lose it? Is their sanity and happiness worth nothing to you? If you come after them I swear I'll leave Shinra and I'll run I'll take them and I'll run." Reno said getting up from the table and leaving the room. Once outside the room he rested his head against the wall.
"Problem Reno? Tseng wouldn't approve your money for good porn in the break room requisition form?" a familiar voice said.
Reno turned around quickly. "Hey Cissnei, no much bigger problem and you know damn well my porn suggestion was a great way to improve employee morale. Besides I think if Tseng sees that sex can be fun and maybe he'll get so worked up he'll bonk Elena's brains out."
Cissnei giggled before taking Reno by the hands. "I found a cardboard cut out of Rufus and a box of explosive marked dispose why don't we go out to the wasteland and you can take it out on that and tell me what's got you so upset." She said smiling she knew no way was Reno going to pass up a chance to blow something up.
Reno smiled "Why are you still standing there load up the helicopter."
"Ok Mister Strife? The doctor wants you to take these 3 times a day for the next 14 days" the nurse said handing cloud a bottle of antibiotics. "And these are pain killers they'll make him sleepy so keep a eye on him and no driving at all while you're taking them I put the drug interaction sheet in with your care instructions if you have any questions the doctors number is on the last sheet." she said before handing him discharge papers.
Cloud frowned at the stack of papers. "We'll see about that."
"You will do everything that the doctors ask of you Cloud. Who knows it might even earn you a house call from doctor Sephiroth" Sephiroth said smirking as Cloud turned red obviously remembering what happened last time he got a visit from doctor Sephiroth and nurse Fair. "Now let's gets you home."
"Seph? Um…" Cloud murmured looking down at his son and daughter.
"Is there a problem?" Sephiroth said stopping and walking in front of Cloud. Once in front of him he placed his hand on Cloud's head he was slightly warm but that's to be expected.
"No it's just where is home? And how are we going to get there?" Cloud asked a hundred and one thoughts racing through his mind.
"For the next 3 days home is the cabin and then from there it's Edge. And don't worry your pretty blond head about it I've taken care of it." Sephiroth said confidently helping Cloud out of the wheelchair. He paused for a moment to make sure Cloud was ok and took him by the hand and leading him across the parking lot.
"Here we go" Sephiroth said stopping in front of a dusty gray SUV and unlocking the passenger door and carefully placing Cloud inside before turning and placing the babies in the car seats in the backseat.
Once he was in the driver's seat they quickly headed back to the cabin.
"Sephiroth how?" Cloud said covering his mouth as a wave of nausea hit him.
Sephiroth smiled "you still get carsick huh? I remember Nibelheim you were really sick you scared Zack. Angeal, Genesis and I always thought there would be a time where we would have to abandon Shinra so we began stashing money in places where we could quickly access if the time ever arose." Sephiroth closed his eyes briefly and sighed remembered the conversation they had when the three of them devised the plan. "That's how the cabin came about we said if we ever left Shinra we'd all meet there. Zack and I talked about it also, I told him depending on what happened in Nibelheim I would leave Shinra. He said he would join me and we would take you too but well things didn't go out as planned. Anyway, I remembered there was a reactor not far from here where I had stashed some gil so I used it to purchase this vehicle. We'll use it to get to the cabin and to get you home. While you were sleeping I went out and purchased a map, travel supplies and tickets for the cargo ship to Junon." Sephiroth explained to Cloud who was beginning to doze off in the passenger seat.
When they finally got home it was late afternoon and Sephiroth was enjoying sitting with Cloud and the twins. "Something on your mind Cloud?" he said kissing the blondes head.
"uh-huh I was thinking we still haven't given them names." He said looking down at the twins "I have an idea for her name." He said letting the little girl grip his finger. I want to name her after your mother; I want to name her Lucrecia. What do you think Seph?"
"I like that what about you Lucrecia?" Sephiroth said the little girl gave small yawn.
"What about our son? everyone is expecting me to name him Zack. But I want to name him something unique. Seph is there someone you'd like to name him after." Cloud asked.
"How about Evan?" Sephiroth suggest and the little boy gave a small smile.
"I think that's a yes." Cloud said kissing his head. "Can I ask why Evan?"
"As a boy I admired a Shinra scientist Professor Gast he was a brilliant man and Hojo destroyed his life's work after he inexplicably disappeared." Sephiroth said a faint frown gracing his face.
"You mean THE Professor Gast? When I was searching for you I ended up at the Icicle Inn, Professor Gast had a lab there with a bunch of videos." Cloud said softly with a hint of understanding in his voice. "He had the greatest reason in the world to flee Shinra. I can't tell you why it's something you have to see for yourself to truly understand and appreciate. I'll take you there one day soon ok?"
Sephiroth nodded and was getting ready to respond when there came a knock the door.
