Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Final Fantasy
Hey guys back again with the Chap12, I uploaded this one alot faster for your enjoyment I just hope that you guy likes it.
Lightning woke up hearing the sound of her alarm clock she turned around shut the thing off and turned to her side once again to fall asleep. Usually Lightning get out of bed the second the alarm clock went off but lately it's been getting harder and harder for her to find the strength to get out of the bed first thing in the morning, maybe it was the pregnacy but lately the simple task she would do normally was seeming to get more and more difficult. Today was her day off from serving the Royal family so she had the option the stay in bed and be lasy for once.
"I guese I can sleep in, it's not like anyone is in the house...oh wait" Lightning the shot out of bed remembering that Snow and Serah was getting back from their honeymoon, Lightning was still getting used to the idea that her little sister was a married women now, even though she did not approve of Snow marrying her but after seing how driven he was to save and protect Serah, she began to accept it. As Lightning got out of bed she turned and look towards her desk to get dress she sees a number of pictures on her desk from her parents Serah and Snow wedding photo together, Fang and Vanille, Hope, Sazh and Dajh and his pet Chocobo, and Naruto. She paused the moment her eyes fall on his picture.
"I think I she have to get rid of this" Lightning says as she picks up his picture and walks over to the trash can but stops right before throwing it in. "No I think that the baby should at least know what their father looks like" She says walking back to the desk and putting the picture right back.
A few moments later Lightning finished getting herself dressed becaues of pregnacy she was not able wear to those tight shirt she was used to wearing so she had to switch to baggy shirt, it wasn't her style but it was at least comfortable. And given what her body has been going lately it was a relief.
Lightning walked into the kitchen to get some vitamins so she could get ready for having so exercise before Snow and Serah get back. As she was getting her ready to take the vitamins she turned on the tv to see if there was any changes in weather that she should know about it she decided to go out.
"In the latest Sanctum news the Grand Counsel has finally made their decision of who will be the next Primarch of the Sanctum" The news Reporter said
This actually caught Lightning attention she remembered Noctis telling her about their interest with Naruto, given the fact that Naruto left for Gran Pulse a week again so it was unlikely that they announce Naruto the next Primarch
"The Grand Counsel has decided that Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum will become the next Primarch of the Santcum, he will be instated of the position of Primarch in celebration of the revolution of the Cocoon Government after a band of hero destory the fal cie and freed Cocoon from it's rule."
"Well I could of espected as much" Lightning thought to hearself as she continued to watch this new coverage and remember that the anniversery of the destruction of the fal cie was getting closer every since that day the people rejoiced and proclaimed her and her comrades heros but to their suppress they gave Naruto most of the prasing maybe it was because he was the one to give the killing blow to the fal cie or it's just that thing about Naruto that just makes you like about him wither you may like it or not. Whatever the case was it seemed that the people of Cocoon was in love with him.
Lightning remembered when Naruto and her would go out she would recieve alot of cold glares from other females, she smiled inwardly feeling a sense of pride even though she was never the typ of women to show off her love life to other, she could help but feel pride that she could make so many jealous women just by being with Naruto and the funny thing was when she first met him she though he had to be the biggest idiot she ever met(literally), but as the time went by he proved her wrong(kinda).
"I wonder what your doing now Naruto" Lighnting thinks to herself as she look out the window think about the future.
Mean with Naruto and Sazh
"Are we there yet?" Naruto asked
"No and that's the tenth time you asked that" Sazh answered
"Well I can't help it, it smells horrible in here"
"Yeah, well just deal with it, well get to Bodhum when we get there"
Naruto and Sazh were smuggling themselve back to Bodhum there had only been traveling for several hours but it felt like days given the smell
"How do you think evey one else is doing right now?"
"I'm sure there doing fine and besides we'll find out soon enough"
"Yeah but what about Noctis, we still have to deal with him once we get back to Bodhum"
"Well we will at least have back up once we get back, and besides we gone up against much worse right"
"Yeah I guess your right Sazh"
"Your worried about Lightning aren't you huh?"
"Yeah I don't like the idea of that Noctis guy being around her"
The two sat there in silence for a moment before Sazh decide to speak up
"You weren't really going to leave all of us because you thought Lightning was with him did you?"
"He told me that she was pregnant with his child, he said that she would be happier if I wasn't in her life"
"So you decided to leave for her happiness?"
Naruto nod his head up in response
Just then Sazh stood up and turn to stand in front of Naruto
"Well let me tell you this, what you did was honorable and selfless and your a better man that I've ever met for doing so but-" Sazh say rasing his right hand and punches Naruto in the face knocking him to the ground.
"WHAT THE HELL SAZH!!!" Naruto says trying to get himself up and rubing the spot on his face where Sazh just hit him
"And Stupid!"
"What!?"
"Of all the stupid asininethings I've ever heard you say Naruto Uzumaki this has to be the dumbest"
"But"
"Naruto listen if your just willing to give up the moment somethings get in the way of your own happiestness then you'll only suffer in the end, and let's ignor the fact that Lightning is and always has been head over heels in love with you even if she did fall for another guy if your not willing to fight for her not only do you not deserve her but you don't deserve to be happy period" Sazh says
Those words left Naruto stunned becaues for so long he has devoted himself to the needs of other people and what the hell has that ever got him nothing and now that he has something worth fight for again he found himself making the same mistake all over again
"S-Sazh I-I"Naruto tries to find words to say but is unsuccessful
"When you see her just tell her how you feel, what's the worst that can happen?"
"Y-Yeah I guess your right"
Royal Palace Chambers
"Prince I have very good news" The councel men said approching Noctis
"Yes I have already seen the news" Noctis said
"That's good I guess I don't need to inform you when your going to be instated as Primarch"
"At the annual celebration, I know"
"That's good, you know from what I've been hearing is that the people of Cocoon are not to happy with the Councels decision, alot of them seem to think that this Naruto Uzumaki would of been better suited to lead Cocoon, I think we should have a highten security just in case protestor want to distribe the celebration"
"No keep the security at bay for now"
"But Prince?"
"Do not concern yourself Councel men make sure that the security only handles the crowd control for now"
"As you wish Prince or should I say Primarch Noctis"
Just as the councel man left, Cid Raines appeared from the shadows
"So has everything been prepared?"
"Yes but I don't quite understand Prince, why do you want to leave yourself open to an attack"
"Everything in due time Cid'
"Do you really think that Naruto will take the bait, what if Lightning get's involved aswell"
"No, Naruto loves her too much to allow her life to be put in danger escpeally in current state, his action will be on his own you just be prepared the moment he attempt his attack"
"Yes Prince but after all the years I have served you, your still not telling me everything"
"All you need to know now is what I tell you, don't worry Cid what we do now is for the best for all of Cocoon"
Meanwhile with Lightning
Snow and Serah just got back from their honeymoon and was sharing the story of how it went to Lightning. Fang and Vanille came by with Dajh aswell. Lightnting had already told the gang about her pregancy back at the wedding reception shortly after Naruto and Sazh left for Grand Pusle, since Naruto left for his home word she didn't think there was much use in hidding it from them anymore.
"So I guess you two had a dream honeymoon huh?" Fang asked them
They noded in response
"Oh it sounds so romantic I can't wait for my wedding day" Vanille says
"You got to first find a boyfriend Vanille and Hope is still too young for you"
"Oh shut up Fang!"
Those two bickered back a forth for a few minutes and Snow decided to change the subject to get those two to stop arguing
"So Light have you heard from Naruto and Sazh yet it's been over a week since they left" Snow asked
"No not a word and it's been a little too long I think were going to have to start looking for him soon if we don't hear anything soon" Lightning say then turning to see the concern look in Dajh's face"
"Don't worry Dajh, I'm sure that Sazh is find he most likely got himself lose trying to get back here"
Those word of reasurrense didn't help to improve Dajhs mood so Vanille rubs his back to try to comfort him
"So how are you holding up Light?" Serah asked
"Huh excuse me"
"I mean it must be hard for you now that Naruto has left"
"I'm fine Serah trust me, I'll just have to raise the baby on my own"
"But what about Naruto?" Vanille asked
"He lefted to live out his dream, I don't want to get in the way of that, and besides it's not like he just going to pop out of nowhere-" Lightning was interrupted by a knock coming from the back window everyone turned to who was and they saw a small chocobo flying out side of it
"DADDY!" Dajh jump up and began to run towards the window but was stopped by Vanille. Snow walked over to the window to let the little chocobo inside but the moment he open the window he saw Sazh and Naruto emerge from the shadows
"Sazh and Nar.... where the hell have you guys been?"
"Snow who is it out there?"
"Why don't you guys see for yourselves"
Just moments later everybodywas stunned to see both Sazh and Naruto enter the house. Dajh quickly just into his fathers arms and gave him a tight bear hug while ran to them and barrage them with question to where they were, while Lightning just stood there shocked to see Naruto, all this time she thought that she was never going to see him again and now here he was right before her. She then looked down and notice that her belly was showing and she didn't wear anything to cover it up she quickly began to panick.
"So what the hell took you so long to get back here and you I thought you were going home" Snow asked
"It's a long story but I need to talk to Lightning alone for a while so Sazh can you tell them for me?"
"Yeah sure kid"
Naruto then walked up to Lightning grab her by the hand drag her away from the other, they walked into her room and Naruto shut the door and turned around to face Lightning he stared at her for a moment trying to think of what he was going to say there was just so much he wanted to say to her but it was hard to try to find the words.
"Naruto look I-" Lightning began to say but was interrupted
"I know about the baby Eclair"
Lightning stood there shocked
"You what...how..did..you?"
"That's not important right now Eclair, all I want to know is why you kept this from me for so long"
"Naruto I'm sorry I just didn't want this to be a burden for you I didn't want you sacrifice your dream for me"
"Eclair how could you think that I would ever thinks this to be a burden, you know that I would be there for you and the baby"
Lightning then turned away from Naruto
"Naruto your just saying that to yourself if you stay your only-"Lightning was interrupted by Naruto
"ECLARE SHUT UP!!! Naruto yelled
Lightning stood there stunned at Naruto new behavior
"Eclair listen I know what your doing your trying to protect me, so your sacrificing your own happyiness for my sake but all that's going to do is lead down to pain in the end. Trust me I have done this myself all my life and I'm sick of it, it's never done me any good and I'm not going to let the same thing happen to us.
"Naruto I-I'm" Lightning began to say as tears start to form in her eyes
"Eclair look at me" Naruto turn her to look at him and he could see that she was begining to cry. "I know this is hard for you but you don't have to do this alone anymore I'm here for you and like it or not were going to have a family soon"
"Naruto I'm scared" Lightning says burying her head in Naruto shoulder
"I know you are Eclair but I want you to know that I love you and I'm not going to let anything come between us again I promise you" Naruto said stroking her hair trying to comfort her, the two stayed like that the moments that followed.
Meanwhile with the rest of the group
"So your saying that not only Cid is still alive but this Noctis guy set you two up in Gran Pulse and has been using us from the begining!?" Snow ask
"Yeah it looks like it"
"Damn it, I knew there was something up with that guy and now the Councel has annouced him as the new Primarch'
"Well that should be simply all we need to do is tell the Councel the truth about him right" Vanille suggested
"I don't think it's that simple Vanille, it's going to be hard enought to get close to the Councel and if we do I don't think they will just take our word for it" Fang said
"So what do we do then?" Sazh asked the group
"Well the good news is that he's not Primarch just yet and if we get a hold of Councel men of the military he might hear us out" Snow suggested
"Yeah but there going to instate him as Primarch at the celebration and that's only a few days from now so we have to hurry" Fang says
"Your right Snow and Fang you guys try and get a hold of the Councel men, I'm going to prepare in case worst comes to worst, Vanille you try to get a hold of Hope, Serah I'd hate to ask you but can you watch over Dajh while I'm gone?"
"Yeah sure don't worry Sazh I'll keep him safe."
"Great we don't have do this right away so everybody try to get some rest"
"What about Naruto and Lightning?"
"Well leave them be for now, I'm sure they need there time alone"
Later that night with Naruto and Lightning
Naruto and Lightning was currently laying in her bed with Naruto holding her, Naruto told her about everything that has happened on Gran Pulse and about that Prince Noctis that she was working for, they decided that they would just rest for now and deal with it in the morning.
Naruto began to bury his face in Lightning hair "Damn I missed you so much" Naruto says to her
Lightning begins to smile by his action."I can tell you did"
They continued to stay like that until Lighting finally began to speak up again
"Naruto?"
"Yeah"
"Will you marry me?" Lightning asked
Naruto paused for a moment and turned Lightning around to face him again
"What..did..you..say?" Naruto asked trying to make sure that what he heard was right
"I...just....wanted to know...if you still wanted to marry me"
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, do you?"
"Of course but...."
"But what?"
"You know it's supposed to be the guy that asked that question"
Lightning then began to laugh at Naruto's statement, even now he was the old Naruto that she first met.
"Your an idiot you know that"
"What why'd you say that?'
"It doesn't matter who asked as long as the answers yes and besides your the one who asked first so why does it matter?"
"I guess it doesn't then"
"So will you marry me Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Yes Mr. Eclair Farron I will marry you"
"Mister?"
"I guess that what I should call you sense everybody knows that you wear the pants in this relationship"
"Your damn right I do"
They both layed there in silence untill Lightning spoke up once more
"Naruto can you just promise me one thing?"
"Sure what is it?"
"When you face off against Noctis promise me that we'll do this together"
Naruto paused for a second, he knew that he going to have to face Noctis but he didn't want Lightning to be in danger in doing so, but if he told her no she would never let him go so he made a quick decision.
"Sure Eclair I promise that we'll do this together"
Naruto waited untill Lightning finally fell asleep and he silently got out of bed and out on his battle gear. When he was done he walked toward the window and began to step out of it not before taking one last look at Eclair the mother of his child and his future and stepped out with out waking her.
"Forgive me Eclair but that's one promise I can not keep" Naruto thoughts before he start to run off to face Noctis
Well there you guys go Chapter 12, I hope you all enjoyed that and cheers for Naruto finally being a man(Yeah!). But anyways I hope you guys tune in for next chapter 13 Naruto vs Noctis it's going to be awsome trust me but you got to be there to find out so I'll updates soon. God is Love Peace Out.
