AN: now I know that this chapter looks shorter but this is an important chapter.

Special thanks to Kurogane7, he came up with a new twist to this plot that I love, and I hope you guys like it as much as I do.

And also to RukiaCaelin, she has commented on every single chapter 3

"Yuffie! It's been a while since you've came around, I was beginning to wonder if my son had chased you off," Grimoire was always happy to see Yuffie; she had always been around and was like a daughter to him. "But my real question is when are you and my son going to get married so you can be my daughter," Grimoire asked this very often, hinting to her of Vincent's crush on her. Yuffie never got the hint.

Yuffie just simply laughed at him. "Why don't you just adopt me? Knowing my father, he wouldn't even notice I was gone. He would just simply look here if he needed me anyway."

Grimoire just gave her a soft smile. "I think I like my idea better."

"Dad…" Vincent said, the comment turning his cheeks red before his gaze turned to Yuffie. "Well let's go upstairs. I need to have a word with you," Vincent suggested. Yuffie nodded following him up the stairs. As soon as they reached his door Vincent turned around and pulled her in for a hug. Upon her face coming to his chest, her beautiful grey eyes began to fill with tears. "Yuffie, it's ok, I'm here now. No one will harm you now," Vincent said as he held her close to his heart, causing the tears to fall harder. "It would be best you stay here for a while where no one can find you."

"Y-y-yea." She sobbed. She had so much to tell him, but she didn't know what to say. He would for sure be mad.

Yuffie and Vincent had spent the rest of the day. She told all that had happened in the past 24 hours. Vincent had not been happy but he was very understanding to her mistakes, he could tell that she had really thought of them as mistakes by the way she had cried. Vincent had been holding her, making him feel like the luckiest man alive. He got lost in her eyes as she would talk, her voice being the music to make it all seem better. He wished that he could tell her that he loved her and that he never wanted to see her with any other man but he didn't want to take the chance of losing her forever. All their friends had been hinting to her that he liked her but she never took the hint.

Then suddenly a figure came into Vincent's doorway. When they looked over they saw Vincent's father, "dinner is ready, come and eat, you are staying for dinner, aren't you?" he said looking at Yuffie.

"Oh, dad, I almost forgot to ask you if you wouldn't mind if Yuffie stayed here tonight. She has had a rough couple days." Vincent asked his father, already knowing the answer

"Yuffie is always welcome here," Grimoire said kindly with a heartwarming smile. Then they both followed him down the steps and into the dining room where there was a table set for three. "Oh Vincent, I forgot to get everybody something to drink, would you mind helping me?" Vincent nodded and followed his father into the kitchen. Vincent got three cups out and began to pour a glass of wine for his father, some apple juice for Yuffie and water for himself when his father spoke, "Yuffie is such a wonderful girl, isn't she?"

"Yea, she is. She's so beautiful and she's so determined. She can do anything she puts her mind to."

"Yes, you both have a lot in front of you," The older Valentine began. "That's why I brought you in here I know how teenagers can be, now make sure you're using protection because I'm too young to be having grandkids just yet."

"DAD," Vincent yelled; his face turning a bright shade of red as he almost dropped the glasses. "Me and Yuffie aren't like that, we are just friends! I couldn't do that with her" Grimoire let out a laugh as he walked back into the dining room. "She wouldn't want me anyways" Vincent said as he walked into the dining room.

They ate dinner almost like a normal family would. Yuffie loved this; she usually ate dinner alone except when she went to the Valentine household. She always felt so welcomed there, she always loved it. She really truly wished that they would adopt her into their family. Then she thought 'maybe I should marry Vincent,' she smiled at the idea 'ha, he would never want me.' After they ate dinner, Yuffie and Vincent went upstairs to Vincent's room. "Hey, um Vinnie? Can I borrow some clothes to sleep in, this is kind of all I have on my person," Vincent looked down to see that she was still in the same clothes that she wore to the party, he had forgotten that she had never changed, so he reached in his drawers and pulled out a long red t-shirt and some black pajama pants, he gave them to her and went to the bathroom to change. (Aw what a gentleman)

When she called him back in, he walked in to see her only wearing the shirt, which he found kind of cute. "Well your pants were way too big for me," she said sheepishly giving the pants back, as she looked at his bare chest, which she found highly attractive. Then, to hide her feelings, she ran and jumped under his covers and patted the spot next to her, telling him to come lay down next her. Vincent smiled as he walked over and got under the covers with her. "Tell me a story," Yuffie said softly.

Vincent just looked down at the petite girl next to him; he didn't know many stories so he would just come up with something quick. "Ok, so there is this guy, and he likes this beautiful girl that everyone loves, she is so happy and childlike, she can be crazy at times, but he likes that about her, but she always loves someone else and it kills him to see her date all these guys but she has no idea of his love for her, but he can't tell her because he's scared of losing her as a friend and not being able to make her happy."

These words made her smile; she finally got the hint. She put her face about in inch away from his, "well maybe he she likes him too, but she didn't think he could ever feel the way that she did," Yuffie had told him as she cocked her head a little to the side and pressed her lips to his. Vincent never wanted that moment to end. As Yuffie began to pull away, she felt Vincent's hands on her cheeks, pulling her back in for another kiss. His breath was so warm that it almost seemed to heat her entire body.

It seemed as if that moment was going to last forever until Vincent's phone rang. "Hello?"

"Yes, is this Vincent Valentine," the voice on the other end had said.

"Yes, but may I ask who is calling so late," Yuffie cuddled with Vincent, putting her head down on his bare chest for comfort. Vincent was now infuriated by the man on the other end of the phone for ruining the moment he had been waiting on for a long time.

"Oh I'm sorry, my name is Seth Baily, I heard you sing at that party last night, me and my band just got a record deal, we were wanting to know if you would like to join our band as our lead singer, we have to leave Tuesday. Are you in?"

"I can't leave," Vincent replied. He could not leave Yuffie.

"Well that's a shame, well I will tell you what, how about you think on it for a night, try to work things out and let me know tomorrow, thanks, later."

"Wai- click" Vincent didn't know what to think. That would be something he would enjoy but at the same time, he couldn't ruin his chances with Yuffie. 'Think on it for a night, yea right.' When Vincent looked down at Yuffie she was already fast asleep. Vincent kissed her on the forehead and fell asleep next to the love of his life.

AN: hahaha a crucial chapter that is all to play out later in the story :) thanks again to Kurogane7. He came up with an AMAZING twist to our little plot here.
