Chapter 16

Roy's POV

"Does it usually take this long for a baby to be born" Adron said with his arms crossed and sloching in his hospital seat. I invited him after another hour. He visited a few times to see how Ava was doing. However he spent most of his time working in constuction and he currently is dating a girl named Sandra.

"Oh, you have no idea" My aunt replied as she looked at her smokes. Tempted to smoke one but a nurse glared at her. "Hag" My aunt said a few times though out the wait.

I was just pacing back and forth though the hospital waiting room. I usually wasn't this nervous but I had a child and I'm supposed to be a father after all of this.

"I never seen Roy like this" Havoc whispered to Riza.

"I seen him like this sometimes. Specially when my father was dying."

Then the double doors opened and I saw George along with some nurse.

"Congrations Roy Boy-"

"HEY! Only I can call him Roy-Boy!" My aunt shouted as she stood up. I felt slightly embrassed but I quickly brushed it off.

"Boy or girl?" I asked sighing feeling relief

"A baby boy! He's so cute!" The nurse excliamed happily.

"And Ava?"

"She's just a nice mother already. You should feel really proud"

"I am. Can I see her?"

"Of Course! Follow me to her room" The nurse said. George looked slightly offended at my aunt's outburst on calling me Roy-Boy. He pouted and looked at me then followed the nurse to Ava's room.

Ava's POV

After the baby finished. He started to get sleepy eyed and he started to slowly drift asleep on my breast. I was starting to drift away. Till I heard the door click open. I heard footsteps coming to me and I see Roy standing over me.

"Tidus Maes Mustang" He stated.

"You actually liked the name Tidus? I thought you didn't like it."

"Tidus is probably the only unique name I liked. And Maes just seems to fit with the name perfectly." Roy had a slight tired smile.

"Well I like the name too" I grined.

"Good, thats the only name I can think of." Then Roy looked at the sleeping Tidus.

"He's looks exactly like you" I said

Roy didn't say anything he only grinned.

"Here hold him" I said as I carefully lifted Tidus to him. Roy hesitated at first but he accepted him and started holding him. Tidus opened his eyes. Roy looked at him a smiled.

"He has your beauitful pale blue eyes" he said still looking at Tidus. Tidus reached his hand to him. Roy looked slightly surprasied but he took his index finger and let Tidus cradle his finger. I wanted to take a picture of this moment.

The Next Day

Everyone wanted to see Tidus. Roy's mom and aunt kept holding him and telling Tidus he'll accomplish a lot like his father and teach him how to mix drinks when he's twelve. I looked at Roy and he told me that his aunt taught him how to mix cocktails at twevle so he could help out on the weekends. My brother looked at Tidus a tried to get him to laugh with a game of peek-a-boo, Tidus didn't laugh but he looked amused. Riza held him a little. And when it was Adron's turn. He told Roy that he'll babysit Tidus. Then He turned to me and told me he is going to teach Tidus how to be a cage fighter. I just glared at him and he told me he was just kidding, he'd rather teach him how to burp longly and loudly.

About 10 am all of us left. Roy and I went back to his house. My old room became Tidus room. We both went in there together and put Tidus in the crib. I sat in the rocking chair and Roy stood by the crib.

"Well, this experiment you had turned out to be succussful. It's like there was no experiment." Roy said tiredly. He started to rub right eye.

I started to look around the room and tears started filling up my eyes. Thinking I had to leave soon with Tidus as planned from the very begginning. However I didn't want to go. I fell in love with Roy. The thought of leaving started to make me feel sadder and sadder till I felt tears falling down my cheeks.

"Ava? What's wrong?" Roy asked walking to me with his hands by my face. He used his thumbs to wipe my tears away. "Ava?"

"Sorry, it's just," I managed out then started to choke a little from my sob. Roy pulled me into a hug and he started to brush my light brown hair with his hand. I started sobbing on his shoulder. It felt like I was there a long time till I managed to regain myself and calm down. "Remember, on the way to the hospital when I was saying all those thank yous and I paused and said thank you for keeping my reputation?"

"Yes" Roy said looking at me.

"Well that wasn't what I wanted to say" I said looking at him with tears welling up again. Roy was silent, he wanted to hear what I had to say.

"I love you" I said. Roy kept his eye on me and pulled me into a kiss. It was very passanate and gentle.

He pulled away a little, looking at me. "I love you too" Then I pulled him into a kiss. Things were starting to heat up, so, Roy stood up along with me and he picked me up bridal style and took me into his room, and put me on the bed.

You can figure out the rest...
