The One They Call Beautiful

Chapter 10

After my laughing subsided, Lucrecia still held me in her arms and both sitting on the cold tile floor. I chuckled a little bit in her lab coat, "Looks like LOVELESS took the bullet for me even though I said I wasn't a fan of it," I smiled softly and looked up at Lucrecia.

"It's alright Daisy, I'm here." About an hour passed and we stood up and went in front of the computer chairs to sit down for a while.

"So, do you know what you're going to name your baby?" I asked her followed by an awkward silence.

"No, not yet, but I do like the name Sephiroth, what do you think?" she turned to me with a thoughtful expression.

"That's up to you; I have no right to dwell on that subject. Although it does seem like a unique name." She smiled at me and nodded. "So, you already know that it's a boy right?"

"Yeah," Lucrecia placed a hand on her bulged stomach, "I read that by now babies kick a lot but…mine doesn't. Apparently the baby only kicks when he's excited and so far it's only happened when you're around, Daisy."

"Ummm, may I?" I gestured to her stomach curious as to how the baby would react.

"Yeah, sure."

I placed my hand on her stomach and waited for a few seconds, but nothing happened. I was about to remove my hand, then all of a sudden…I felt a kick. Lucrecia seemed surprised and looked at me. My eyes were wide in surprise as well. I glided my hand over her stomach to a different area and could feel the baby shifting following my touch and when I stopped another kick was felt. My eyes felt as though they were going to pop out as Lucrecia started to laugh.

"It looks like my baby loves you." She smiled sadly at her stomach and put her hand on top of mine and we both felt him kick.

"With those kinds of kicks, I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to play soccer with me." I joked trying to make Lucrecia smile. What kind of baby doesn't even kick for their own mother? I shook my head and removed my hand.

"Daisy," her voice was sad, "I need a favor."

"Yeah, sure, what do you need?"

"Please," she closed her eyes and lay back onto her chair, "be Sephiroth's guide. I have a feeling that he will need one, especially in the future." I saw a tear escape her eye.

"You've been having visions of him again, haven't you?" Her eyes were still closed, "If this is what you want, then I accept. Besides," I got up from the chair, "I was going to be his friend either way if you did or didn't ask me to. I have a question though," Lucrecia opened her eyes and they seemed lively again. "What if Hojo sends the Turk on me? You know, the brown haired dude. I read his profile, the guys' name is Veld."

"You never let that stop you from befriending the other Turks around here."

"Yes, but this one is in charge of all the other Turks. That and he was Valentines friend. I doubt he even knows that this person," I motioned to the slightly modified Vincent, "is the real Vincent. Hell I haven't even met the guy."

"Then use your imagination." Lucrecia answered cheekily.

I nodded my head, "It's getting late, I believe that we should go to bed, especially in your condition."

"Says the one who's an insomniac, hardly eats, and believes that just because she's Latina that she doesn't need food for soccer," her eyebrow rose, "you're not a robot you know."

"…touche." I replied in a defeated tone. We both said goodnight and I left the lab before her. As I descended up the basement, I thought to myself, 'Why would the baby kick when I laid my hand on her stomach, but wouldn't for his own mom.' I shook my head out of my musings and kept going to my room...

"How the hell did she know I was Latina?" I asked out loud. 'Curse her awesome observation techniques.'

2 Months Later

Lucrecia POV

Every time I look at Daisy I just want to take her away from all of this and run away. So we could live a normal life and bring Vincent along. His body has been responding a lot more positive ever since I put Chaos inside of him. I told Daisy about the desperate measures I had to do, she seemed hesitant but I know she was angry inside. Daisy knew what would happen if Vincent's body kept decaying. She passed Biology AP; I didn't need to explain to her since her eyes got more depressed.

I miss how the three of us would joke around, the small picnics, and watching her train with Vincent. She doesn't even visit Phoebe anymore at her house. Her life was a contradiction- here she is living in a mansion with unbelievable education, knows how to defend herself very well, a place to call home and people-person- to care for her. That's how it's supposed to be; instead she has to look behind her back for Shinra and Hojo, and possibly Veld if she got on his bad side.

"This life is not normal for a teenage girl. Then again I guess her life was never normal to begin with, was it, Vincent?" I stared at him on the metal table. He was strapped down with leather around his body. Chaos had started to take control of his body so he was moved here. "I'm so scared; I don't know what to do anymore. I can't lose her too Vincent…Today is her fifteenth birthday." I reached into the pocket of my lab coat and pulled out a small jewelry box. "I saw this when the Turks began cleaning out your room. It was in a bag that said 'happy birthday Daisy'. They were about to throw it away but I took out the box that was her gift. Don't worry though, I haven't opened it yet. You'll be able to give it to her yourself when you wake up. She stopped celebrating her birthday and holidays the day you didn't open your eyes." I put the small jewelry box back inside of my lab coat.

"I know you can hear me and you're most likely infuriated with me, but this was the only way that I could save you. I'm sure that you're eager to see Daisy again; it's been two and a half weeks after all."

Daisy POV

"I swear to you, I'm becoming crazy!" I was laying on my bed talking out loud to my violin and Nodachi. "Then again if you talk to things…I'm officially insane." I sighed in frustration and threw my pillow across the room. "But I'm not hearing voices and not trying to kill anybody yet so, I should be alright." I stated calmly. I've been doing this since my near death experience with Hojo. I believe that I've been traumatized more than once now. Number one; my shoulder got dislocated, I was stabbed, and almost bled to death. Number two; I saw Vincent dying…in my arms…in a pool of blood…and almost got shot in the head. Number three; I almost died again by getting shot in the chest from the same nutty scientist but LOVELESS took the bullet. According to my calculations I shouldn't be insane…how gaia just loves me.

"What do you think LOVELESS?" I turned my head to the ruined copy of the book-I never replaced the damn thing. "This isn't normal but, onto other things. Eric!" yes I named my Nodachi Eric, "do you think that I should tell Lucrecia and Vincent my name?"

"…"

"…"

Eric slid down the wall it was leaning on and now laid flat on the floor.

"Good enough." I shrugged and got out of bed. There were footsteps then I heard a knocking at my door. A black crow appeared outside of my window and began pecking at the glass-really need to lay off Edgar Allen Poe. "Come in, the door is open."

The door knob turned slowly as my heart was speeding and the blood through my veins intensified…and Lucrecia poked her head through the door. "He's not in at the moment. Come on! It's been almost three weeks since you last saw Vincent!" she smiled and went out the door.

I sighed in relief, as my heart was pounding. "No more Edgar at night." I mumbled and was about to walk out of the room, but looked back at Eric and the bell. For some reason the silver bell called out to me, so I crouched in front of Eric and unhooked it. I held it in the palm of my hand and made a fist around it, keeping the bell there and walked out to find Lucrecia waiting for me, "you shouldn't stress yourself-already 8 months along and you still do this…" the awkward silence helped ease our anxiety and began walking to the basement, "…are you still getting those visions of your baby?" This was a touchy subject for her, but this had to be discussed, "you should know that I'll help you Lucrecia. Don't think that you're alone."

"Daisy…why are you saying this to me?"

A memory came into my mind when I first met Lucrecia and I smirked, "Because I care." Our conversation stopped as we arrived in front of Vincent's tank. He had to go back inside or else chaos would go on a rampage again. I turned to her, "Déjà vu, Right?" she nodded. "I think it's time to tell you my name…the both of you." I squeezed the bell in my hand and closed my eyes while breathing slowly. I opened them and walked to Vincent and stood in the middle of them.

"I've kept my name hidden from the both of you for over 3 years. I honestly wasn't ever going to tell you guys but…the more I stayed and bonded with you, the more you two dwelled deeper into my heart." I clutched my heart with the bell in my fist and turned to face the man in the tank. "I didn't mean it when I told you that I'd reveal my name to you the day you were on your deathbed," I felt so atrocious for what I said that day, "and yet here you are, fighting to stay alive while on the brink of death." I swallowed and let a tear fall and wiped it away and sharply turned my head to face Lucrecia Crescent and Vincent Valentine.

"My name is Dawn." I stated simply, "A simple name for a complex mind." I opened my palm and for a moment I thought I saw a red feather in place of my silver bell. I knew that was an evil omen.
