Sooooooo, here is a long awaited update! I've been obsessing with KHII, so forgive the lateness of this. A bunch of fluff, but not a sickening amount. Hope you enjoy!

I don't own FF VII or any of her characters. I just use them.

It was entirely too tempting to once again remove Yuffie's clothes and tumble right back into the bed they had just vacated. He had helped her make it once they were dressed again. At first, she had always been the one to make sure the bed was made in the morning. Reno had begun to help her on the days he did not work. Yuffie was a pro at bed-making, never allowing a bed to look anything but pristine. It was one of his favorite games to seduce her back into the freshly made bed. She would growl at him when he did it, but he would just grin and make her forget about the blankets she had just painstakingly tucked and smoothed.

"You know, Renji hates making his bed as much as you do."

"Is he that much like me, Yuffie?"

"Yep. You both smile the same way, and make the same faces. I cried for days when he was born, cause he looked so much like you. I could barely stand to look at him." Reno stared at her in shock. Yuffie had nothing but love and affection for their son. "Surprised? I was alone and scared, and seeing you in Renji was like being stabbed in the heart every time I looked at him. Then he looked at me, really opened his eyes for the first time, and I just fell in love with him. He was so tiny, Reno. I'll show you some pictures of him when he was just born." She was smiling fondly now, remembering the past few years.

"I wish I could've seen him. I've never held a baby before, or really given one a second glance."

"I know! You'd always roll your eyes at the kids in line to see Santa."

"Does Renji believe in Santa?"

"No. He never bought into it. But he believes in the toothfairy." Reno chuckled, wrapping one arm around her waist and pulling her closer. Yuffie turned to face him, wrapping her own arms around his neck loosely and smiling. "So, do we feel better now?"

"Gods above and below, yes." She giggled at his dramatic statement. "Do you feel better?"

"Yes. It's a shame Renji will wake up soon. I'd go right back into bed with you."

"I was thinking the same thing..." He nuzzled her neck affectionately, not really intending to do anything beyond that. "Hey, Yuffie?"

"Hmmm?"

"Did I tell you that I love you today?"

"You mentioned it in bed. Tell me again, though."

"I love you."

"I love you too." Reno smiled against her neck.

"There still might be time for a quickie..." Yuffie hit him gently on the head, laughing quietly. "What?"

"You horndog."

"You're no better."

"Don't cloud the issue with facts." He chuckled as she led the way out of the bedroom. He soon found a photo album in his lap and Yuffie curled up next to him on the couch. He flipped through the pictures, her narrating and giving details of what it was of and when. He laughed at a few pictures, mostly of the baby shower her friends had given her. Every last person in the pictures, Vincent included, were wearing baby bonnets. Reeve, who had a giant pacifier in his hand as well as a bonnet on his head, looked happy as could be.

He watched as the pictures showed just how big her stomach had gotten. Then there were pictures of her in the hospital, a tiny infant in her arms. She was tired still, but the smile on her face was amazing. He saw Tifa holding the baby, and Barret. The look on the man's face just made him think he was 'gooing' and 'gaaaahing' at the baby.

Renji grew bigger and bigger in each photo. His first birthday had him with cake all over his face, and ice cream splattered on his clothes. The boy was looking at the camera curiously, wondering why it should impede his eating. A picture of him coloring on the walls made him laugh. Reno couldn't remember how many times he had done that as a child. There were picture of Renji holding butterflies and holding up paintings that got progressively better as he aged.

"God...I've missed so much..." Yuffie grabbed one of his arms, hugging it tightly. "How can you forgive me so easily?"

"Cause I love you. That's what you do when you love someone."

Reno sighed and sat the album on the coffee table before leaning back. Yuffie was now hugging him around the waist, her head on his chest. He stroked her hair, marveling at his luck. The times he got to sit with her and just enjoy her company were what he cherished most. The quiet was interrupted by a knock on the front door. Yuffie got up to answer it.

"Mail's here." She opened the door and greeted the uniformed man. He pulled out a bundle of letters and handed them to her before bowing slightly and going on is way. "Let's see..." Yuffie closed the door with a foot and flipped through the mail as she walked back to the couch. "Bills...bills...letter from Shera...hey, there's something for you." Yuffie handed him an envelope, plain brown and with nothing other than 'Reno of the Turkeys' on it. He smirked, knowing who it was from. Tiam had kept his word, sending him a copy of the reports he had made. The first one had what he expected, a person, sex unidentifiable, entering and leaving the park in the early morning hours. The second one, which was much longer, caught his attention.

It was a report from the investigation team sent out today, complete with pictures of several scenes in the wild lands beyond Wutai. He sat forward, reading intently, memorizing every word and image. Yuffie gave him a curious look, then peered over his shoulder, reading the reports as well. When he was done, he handed them over to Yuffie for her to finish.

"You never read those, babe, got it?" Yuffie nodded vaguely. She gave them back when she was done, questioning him with her eyes. "Inside report before it got up the ladder here. Good one, too. Wonder if I could steal him over to the Turks...I'm kidding! Geez...anyway, I wanted to know what happened around here concerning our little 'events' so I got first look at reports." She quirked an eyebrow at him as he knelt before the fireplace. He put his lighter to the first page, making sure it was burnt completely before going on to the next one. "And no, I didn't threaten or blackmail anyone."

"That wasn't complete though."

"I know, but I have a feeling Tseng and Elena will be able to tell us why."

"Reno..."

"Yeah?"

"I'm scared." He looked over at her, startled. Yuffie never admitted to being scared, no matter what the situation was. "What if next time, Renji gets hurt? Or you?"

"We'll be fine. I'm not about to let some asshole hurt my kid." Reno glared at the paper he was burning. "And I'm not a Turk for nothing. I've survived Sephiroth, the Three Clown Clones and three miserable years without you. If that shit won't kill me, this guy doesn't stand a chance." He heard her get up and walk over to him, one hand running through his hair and down his cheek. He looked up, finding a soft smile on her face. Yuffie grabbed another lighter from a box on the mantle and helped him burn the reports.

"Hey, Reno?"

"Yeah?"

"Know one of the reasons I love you so much?"

"Nope. Enlighten me."

"You're so damn cocky."

"Do you mean that literally or figuratively?"

"Both." Reno smirked.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

I try to end the chapters on an interesting note. Hope I do so for all of you who read this. Do review if you took the time to read this. I love getting the messages that tell me I have reviews.
