Cid paced outside the door, he hated being shut out when it came to his vampiric lover. He chewed his lip until it bled, smoked cigarette after cigarette, not even Yuffie could console him.
Barret and Cloud talked a little ways away. "That fool done messed up! Even a tough man like Vincent was shedding tears!" Barret shook his head in a disdained manor. "Man, Cid would kill me if he knew I wanted to try out his little devil. At least I wouldn't cheat."
Cloud laughed, "I never took you for much of a romancer, Barret. At least not with men." He laughed again, remembering how the brute had once flirted with him. "Anyways, I wonder what's taking so long. It's already been over ten minutes."
Barret nodded in agreement, though both resigned themselves to waiting for whatever happened next. Another ten minutes passed before Cid slammed the door open. Tifa, who was sitting on the floor, looked up with a broad smile on her face. Vincent looked paler than normal and terrified. He still sat with his knees pulled to his chest, his shirt unbuttoned. Tifa spoke, "Cid we were just talking. There's something Vincent needs to tell you."
The raven glared daggers at Tifa, "I can't just tell him! What if he leaves because of it? I'm still trying to understand it myself." He suddenly looked down, self conscious.
Cid walked closer slowly, "I'm not leaving, Vin. You can tell me anything." The fact that the raven didn't want to tell him something made him worry. What if he was dying? Or extremely hurt? Cid couldn't stop the racing thoughts that plagued his head, he didn't want to think about what could possibly be wrong with the man.
"I'll just show him," Tifa said as she stood up. she pulled Vincent up and said the incantation for Cure. As her hands began to glow with materia, she set one over his heart. "See how it doesn't pulse here? He doesn't have a heart beat, Cid." She then placed her other hand over his abdomen, the glow pulsing from a heart beat. "But here he does."
Cid continued to stare at the pair confused as to what that actually meant for him. "What exactly does that all mean? Will he be aging again?"
Vincent sighed with exasperation. "I am pregnant, you moron!" He paled even more as he said the words because he watched as the rest of the group walked into the room. He sat down and put his head into his hands. Now everyone knew he was more of a freak than before. How could he have thought that he could hide it from everyone? After a few months the bump would be noticeable and he couldn't blame it on weight gain because he barely ate anything. Now things were out in the open, it would be difficult for the rest of the group to come to terms, but the resilience with things like this was incredible, after all Nanaki had a litter with Cat Sith.
Cid fell to his knees in utter shock. "What? I'm going to be a father?" Vincent only nodded, he couldn't bring himself to speak. It took a while for everything to finally sink in for Cid. Before long, he smiled broadly and stood. "This is great, Vincent! We are finally getting a chance to start a family, like you've dreamed of for so long." He moved closer and hugged Vincent gently. "Our baby will be living in a safe world, thanks to you and Cloud and everyone else."
Yuffie giggled happily. "Awesome! I'm going to be an Auntie right Vincent?! I want to name it!" she began to bounce and clap her hands, obviously giddy about the news of a new addition.
Cloud placed a hand on her head to calm her bouncing, "You can't name it, Yuffie. It's not your child. Once you are older and you find someone you love more than your own life, you'll have your own children to name."
Yuffie pouted cutely and crossed her arms. "I'll never find someone, why would you put someone else before your own life? That's just stupid." After she had spoken and received glares from Cid, Vincent, Tifa, and Cloud, she backed off. "Sorry...I know what that feels like. We risked our lives for countless people we'll never meet. I just want to help name it...so its not named something stupid."
Vincent sighed and laughed softly to lighten the mood once more. "Yuffie you can help name it. Everyone can. But the final decision will be up to Cid and I, I really appreciate everyone's support." He smiled a rare true smile.
Yuffie giggled and began to bounce again as everyone else congratulated the pair and talked about the pregnancy. Barret, having found Vincent out of earshot of Cid, made a quick pass at him. He complemented him on his hair and the natural motherly glow. as the pale man flushed crimson red, his lover walked over and shut down the whole procession. Cloud laughed as the defeated man walked by him. "Do you really think Vincent would sleep with someone else while pregnant?"
"That idiot blonde did, why might that little devil not do the same?" he crossed his arms and watched Cid holding Vincent possessively. "If only i could get him alone, get some drinks in him..."
Tifa came up and slapped the back of his head. "Vin is pregnant. He can't have alcohol, I won't allow you to risk the life of his kid for some fantasy!"
He looked down dejectedly, "Sorry, Tifa. I'll behave, I promise." He stood silently the rest of the time, keeping a close eye on the pair of lovebirds across the room.
Once the news sunk in for everyone, Cid spoke in a loud voice. "Let's go to Rocket Town now. I want to make things right."
Everyone nodded and filed out of the tomb, Cid and Vincent in the back for protection. they trudged up the stone steps out of the basement and into the second floor bedroom where Vincent had fallen. Cat Sith looked up from his perch on Nanaki. "What happened to the roof here? This home was just renovated if I remember correctly."
While everyone else stared at the hole, Vincent walked out of the room. "I crashed through after I made Chaos give control back to me." He didn't look back at the shocked and concerned looks of his companions as he walked down the stairs. He was shocked by the sight of The Shera, Cid's airship named after his wife. As everyone climbed aboard, Vincent helped by Tifa and Yuffie, Cid took his place at the helm. Tifa and Yuffie eventually sat Vincent down on a couch in a secluded corner of the main room as Cid programmed the auto pilot to go to Rocket Town.
Yuffie smiled and bounced on the couch, "So what do you want it to be Vincent?" Like everyone had done at least once, she rubbed his stomach for a small bit.
"I want it to be healthy." He laughed softly, "I would love a little girl, but as long as it's healthy I'll be fine."
Yuffie turned to Tifa, "When will he or she be born?"
The brunette smiled. "Its only about two or three months, probably...Not much older."
The Wutai child nodded as Cid approached, his face forlorn. "I have to go home in Rocket Town. I will leave Shera, you have my word, Vincent. But I don't want to do it publicly. Tifa, Yuffie, take Vincent to the Inn when we arrive, I will be there sometime tonight or early tomorrow morning if it gets too late to find his room." He leaned down close to Vincent and kissed the man softly. "I love you and our baby. I want to give you both the very best."
Vincent smiled slightly, "I love you too, Cid."
The blonde lancer wasn't the only one to see there was no emotion in the words.
Awesome. Two chapters in one day, let's go for three. :) Unfortunately I will be losing my laptop for a while again so I'm hoping to update this as much as possible before I lose it.
