A/N: OK, I know I said I'd touch on Vince and Yuffie, however, it got bumped to the next chapter. Thankfully, the next chapter is a few short words any from being post- able. So, never fear, my dears!

Keela woke up in a cold sweat. She looked over at Reno, to confirm she hadn't woken him. He still slept soundly, sprawled out on top of the messed up covers. She soundlessly slipped out of bed and put on her robe. Walking blind in the dark apartment, she made her way to the living room. Angeal and Yume were in the spare bedroom next to Dreya's room, so she didn't have to worry about being heard. Grabbing her laptop off the counter, she went and sat in the overstuffed armchair next to the end table. She kept the light off as she powered up her computer.

She waited for everything to load before selecting the icon with the ShinRa company logo. The employee log-in screen came up and she hesitated. She wasn't even sure her identification number and password would still work. She took a deep breath and typed it in. At first she thought it was going to deny her, but then the screen flashed, access granted. She sighed softly in relief.

Tseng was getting ready to call it a day, Rufus was lounging in the armchair across for him, half asleep. Tseng had tried to convince him to head home without him, but Rufus knew that if he didn't stay with him, he would work through the night and never make it home. Tseng chuckled softly at his lover.

Raising an eyebrow, eyes still shut, Rufus said, "And what, may I ask, is so funny?"

"Nothing, Koibito. I'm almost done here, so we can be on our way short-ly" He ended slowly, as something popped up on his computer.

"What is it Tseng?" Rufus asked, getting up out of the chair. Not many things could shock the director of the TURKS into silence, so he was intrigued.

"Keela..." Tseng answered, without taking his eyes off the screen.

"What about her?" Rufus pressed.

Snapping out of his stupor a bit he looked at Rufus. "I programmed the network to inform me if her ID number was ever used to access the system."

Rufus was beginning to get alarmed, "And?"

"She just logged in from her laptop." He blurted out, stunned.

"Why?" The President asked.

"I don't know, but I'm about to find out." Tseng told him.

Keela stared at the screen for a minute, not knowing why she was even doing this, when suddenly a private message popped up. Shit.

Tseng: Keela, what are you doing?

Shakily, she typed back:

I don't know, exactly.

Tseng: There must be some reason, I've never known you to do anything on a whim.

Tseng was right. She just honestly didn't know why she was on here. There was just this feeling.

Tseng: Keela?

~ I'm here, Tseng.

Tseng: What's on your mind? Is something bothering you?

~ No.

Tseng: You have clearance to Reno's files, if you are worried about one of his missions.

Keela smiled.

~ No, it isn't that.

~ Wait, why do I have clearance? More so, why is my log-in even still active?

Tseng: For the same reason you still have an ID badge, Keela.

~ Which is...

Tseng: Once a TURK, always a TURK, Keela.

Tseng: As far as this company is concerned, you are merely on sabbatical, until the time you can safely return to duty.

~ Don't hold your breath Tseng. That may never happen.

Tseng: I am aware of that, my dear. However, everything remains active, just in case.

Keela didn't know what to say. She was having that feeling again, like she was supposed to be on here for something.

Tseng: Keela?

~ Yes?

Tseng: Are you alright?

~ I don't know... I just cant shake this feeling.

Tseng: What feeling?

~ The feeling that made me get on here in the first place. I woke up in a cold sweat, and something was pulling me to sign on. i don't know why though.

Tseng: I see. Well, far be it for me to question it. Your 'feelings' have lead to more successful missions than I can count.

Tseng: In the meantime, while you wait for it to play out, feel free to poke around. Perhaps something here will help.

~ Sir?!

Tseng: Keela, I trust you. I know our secrets are safe.

~ Alright. Maybe you are right, maybe looking around will help. Thank you, Tseng.

Tseng: You are welcome, my dear.

Tseng: Oh, Keela?

~ Yes, Tseng?

Tseng: I wont tell Reno about our little chat, I'll leave that up for you to decide. However, I don't suggest letting him know your clearance level. Its above his, and he might be a little perturbed by that.

~ I'll keep that in mind.

Tseng: Goodnight, my dear.

~ Goodnight, Tseng.

Reno's internal clock was telling him it was time to get up. He fought it, and rolled over to take Keela in his arms. When he found she wasn't there, he opened his eyes and noticed her side of the bed was empty. Looking around he found her sitting length wise on the window seat in their room. She looked like she was lost in thought. He looked at the clock on the nightstand, 5:15. Getting up, he walked over by her.

"Babe? Everything OK?" He asked.

She nodded, "Yeah, just been thinking."

"About what, yo?" He prodded.

"Something that Tseng said last night." She sighed.

"Babe, we didn't see Tseng last night." He told her.

She looked at him with a tinge of guilt. "I... I talked to him."

"When?" He asked, a bit alarmed.

The guilty look was still on her face. "I... I logged on to the company network last night."

"Why?!" He said, startled.

"I... I don't know. I woke up with this feeling and it led me to it. Tseng must have been notified when I logged in, because he sent me a message almost right away." She confessed.

A bit leery, Reno answered, "OK... about what?"

Keela told him about what they had talked about, and in the midst of confessing she forgot to leave out the part about being able to access his files. To her amazement, he wasn't upset, in fact he looked a bit concerned.

"Yo, did you see something that upset you? Is that why you couldn't sleep?" He asked, with true worry.

She laughed a bit, "No, I didn't even look around. I just... I've been thinking."

"About what, Kee? You can tell me." He said, lovingly.

Her hormones kicked into high gear at the love in his voice. She started crying, and he reached for her.

"Oh, babe. Whats wrong?" He murmured into her hair, as he held her to him.

Sobbing, she blurted out, "I wanna be a TURK again." After that, the tears wouldn't stop, and Reno had to wait for her to calm done before answering her.

"Yo, is that what you really want, or is it the hormones talking?" He asked. Most men wouldn't be so blunt, but having experience with her pregnancy moods, he knew she wasn't one to lash out at him.

"No, its what I want. I... I called Tseng a little bit ago, I had some questions." She confessed.

"Like what?" He asked, as he rubbed her back.

"Like how it would work if I ever did come back. I think he knew where I was going with it, and he told me that if I were to resume my position... things would have to be adjusted." She said, calming a bit.

"What do you mean, yo?" He was confused a little.

"Well, you're Second, and I was Second. He was right that I wanted to know how that would work." She told him.

"OK, and what did he say?" He asked.

"He said that we would share the responsibilities. He told me not to worry. He said that if its what I really wanted, we would figure it out. I... I don't want to take your job from you, I know how much you love it." She was starting to cry again, by the time she finished.

"Hey... don't cry, just breathe slowly and wait for it to pass." He said, as he held her close. "And you wouldn't be taking my job, we'd share."

She nodded, and sat there for a few seconds.

"Better?" He asked, when her breathing calmed.

"Yes. Why aren't you getting mad? Here I am, pregnant, and whining that I want to go back to one of the most dangerous jobs there is." She asked him, almost accusingly.

He laughed, "Kee, I know you, if there's something you want... you're going to get it one way or the other. If its what you really want, then I'm not going to stop you. I will however, demand certain conditions."

"Look at you, being all mature and using big words." She teased.

"There's the sass I was looking for." He smiled. "Now, are you sure that this is what you want?"

She thought for a minute, "Yes, I'm sure. But, I don't wanna overdo it. And I still want to help Yume out, we're going to work on her powers. But..."

"But what?" He questioned.

"What if I start to lose it again, I don't want anyone to get hurt." She said, tearing up again.

"Babe, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I just want you to be happy, yo." He smiled, and kissed her hair.

She looked up at her husband, amazed.

"What?" He asked.

"Who are you, and what did you do with my husband?" She laughed.

"What... maybe I've finally grown up." He stated, seriously. He had to move quick to catch her before she fell off the seat from her laughter.

"Fuck, yo. Way to boost my confidence." He said, which caused her to laugh even harder. "Yeah, Yeah. Laugh it up, yo."

She slowed her laughing a bit, "Oh, Reno... I didn't mean it like that..."

He smiled, "I know that, yo. But all laughing aside..." He added, as he pointed to her belly. "You're on desk duty til after you pop."

"Gods, Reno. You know I hate it when you refer to childbirth that way." She said, rolling her eyes.

He laughed, and took her in his arms again. "Yeah, but you know how I do."

She laughed, "Yes, Reno... I know how you do."

Just then a little voice called out, "Maaaamaaaaa..."

Reno laughed, "I'll go get the brat. You just relax."

"Um, Reno. You aren't exactly dressed for the part. I'll go get her." She smiled.

He nodded, sheepishly, remembering that he was naked.

She got up off the window seat and walked into Dreya's room.

"Maaamaaa..." She called again.

Keela could see her red curls bouncing as she sat sweetly in her crib. "Whaaat..." She sang back.

Dreya smiled widely, seeing her. "I awake!" She announced.

Keela laughed, "I can see that."

"Where Aunty 'Ume?" She asked.

"I think Aunty Yume is sleeping yet, baby." She smiled.

"No she's not." Came Yume's voice from behind her. She walked up next to Keela, before adding, "I heard Snot-face calling for you."

Dreya giggled, "I not 'not-face, You 'not-face."

Playing along, Yume said, "No, you're a Snot-face."

Giggling, Dreya kept going, "Aunty 'Ume 'not-face."

"Why you..." Yume said, starting to tickle her.

Dreya laughed loudly, "Aunty 'Ume 'not-face!"

"Am not.." Yume laughed.

"Are too." Angeal said, walking in. His agreement made Dreya laugh even harder and clap her hands.

Yume shot a look over her shoulder, "Traitor, I was winning too."

"Nah uh!" Dreya giggled.

"Oh, yeah?" Yume asked, tickling her again.

Reno had put a pair of pants on, and was walking to the kitchen when he heard the commotion. "Damn, Drey, you sure are popular. You got a party goin' on in here, yo."

Dreya giggled again, "Daddy funny."

"Yes, he is." Keela said in agreement.

"Yeah, funny looking..." Yume added.

"Hey, now... you fell from the same tree there, crab-apple." Reno retorted.

Yume just stuck out her tongue. Angeal laughed that the two of them. "Wow, what are we... four?"

"Five." Yume countered.

"And a half." Reno added, with a nod.

"Damn straight." Yume laughed.
