Chapter 7

A Visit

7th Heaven

Tifa huffed all the way home, ran inside the bar and sat down on a bar stool. What am I going to do? She looked at her bandaged hand. I must be about a month and a half by now. She sighed and poured herself a drink. I can't drink this can I? She swirled the glass around and dumped it. With a slam she heard the door to house open and close. "TIFA!"she recognized the voice to be her ninja friend's voice. Tifa put the glass on the counter and walked into the main house.

"I'm right here." Marlene and Denzel both rushed up and through their arms around her. The children were both sobbing into her. she rubbed both of their backs. "What's wrong guys? Yuffie tapped her foot.

"They were upset. They thought something happened to you." Tifa wiped the tears off of each of the children's faces.

"I'm okay now! How about I tuck you guys back into bed?" they both nodded. "I won't leave you two."

After tucking both of the children into bed, Yuffie and Tifa went to go clean up the bar. Yuffie scowled and threw a bottle of pills at Tifa. Tifa caught them.

"What are these?" Yuffie folded her arms.

"Anti-nausea pills, the doc asked me to get them to you." Yuffie took a seat on a bar stool. "Don't do that to me again! I'm not your babysitter! Besides, I was worried." Tifa looked down at the bottle of pills.

"I'm sorry Yuffie!" The ninja smiled.

"Its okay, just don't do it again!" She looked at Tifa's abdomen. "After you took off, he told me. I'm sorry! You'll get through this cause I'll be here to help you!" Tifa set the bottle of pills on the counter top.

"I thought you were leaving in a week?" Yuffie nodded.

"I was, but I already made a call to my father in Wutai and I'll be staying here for a while." Tifa looked at the floor.

"You don't have too!"

"It'll be fun!"

"Thank you, Yuffie!" Tifa smiled. "You want a drink Yuffie?" The ninja smiled.

"I thought you said I couldn't because I'm underage!" Tifa grinned.

"I think I can let you get drunk once! Since I wont be drinking, I can make sure you don't go overboard."

"Really? Thank you Tifa!" Tifa grinned. Tifa pulled out a mixer and several bottles Yuffie hadn't seen before.

"Tell me what you think of this." Tifa poured a few shots out of each bottle into the mixer, shook it for about 30 seconds and poured it into a glass for Yuffie. "Here you are." Yuffie took the glass and took a swig, giving Tifa the thumbs up sign. After Yuffie had finished te first drink Tifa made her another. Yuffie's cheeks became pink from intoxication. "Mabey you should slow down Yu-.." a knock came from the bar door. "SORRY, WE CLOSED THE BAR EARLY TONIGHT, PLEASE COME BACK TOMORROW." a knock came from the door again. It had better not be...I don't need this right now! Tifa stood up, walked to the door and prepared for the worst. She opened the door and the clean man in a suit stood before her.

"I believe we didn't receive your payment Ms. Lockheart. I just came to collect it." Tifa rolled her eyes and snickered.

"I thought I told you, I DON'T need YOUR protection!!! I can protect my family all by myself!" the man grinned.

"I would ask you to think again..." he pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. "Everyone can benefit from Bill's friendly family protection!" Tifa put her hands on her hips. "I'm fine, thank you for your concern. Now please go away!" Tifa began to close the door.

"You will regret this." Tifa closed the door with a click and began locking up. I don't think so. Cloud where are you? Tifa looked over at Yuffie, who was sleeping peacefully on her bar's counter top. She lifted the ninja girl up and over her shoulder and carried her upstairs to her room. Yuffie, your such a light weight. Mabey I should call Cloud. She tucked the ninja into her bed and checked on the children. She pulled the covers up over Denzel and then turned Marlene's light off. Tifa yawned and walked downstairs. She looked around at the bar. It was spotless, except for the glass used by Yuffie and a few bottles left up on the counter. That new hired help really is useful. She began wiping out the glass and putting the bottles away. Should I tell Cloud? Would he run away and not come back? Should I just wait for him to come home? Tifa sat back in a booth and stared at her phone. I'm going to call him! She flipped the phone open and dialed a number and hit send.

"Please leave a message after the tone...beep" Tifa frowned. What, did I actually expect him to have his phone on?

"Cloud, this is Tifa, again...I have something important to talk to you about. It's...It's something I'm not sure I can deal with right now." Tifa rubbed her abdomen. "CLOUD! Please call me!" she broke down sobbing on the phone. "Please come home...goodbye." she sniffed and wiped the tears away from her eyes. I think I'll go to bed now. She gripped the cell phone and walked upstairs to her room and shut the door. She changed into her pajamas and slipped into bed still, gripping the cell phone, as if she was expecting an important call.
