"It's been five months, yo... But I still can't believe that it indeed happened."
Cloud smiled tenderly, placing loving kisses on the redhead's face as they lay on their couch, covered by a soft blanket and just watching the fire burning on the fireplace before them as the winter's cold wind whistled on their windows. The blond shifted lightly, never loosening his tender embrace around his lover as he thought about how they had never really talked about what had finally happened 5 months ago, just concentrating in getting everything prepared for the arrival of their little bundle of joy. "Are you happy?" He asked softly as Reno rested his head on the curve of his neck. "Or do you regret it?"
The redhead grinned. "I wouldn't exchange this feeling for the world." He sighed, smiling as the female cat he had helped coming back to life many months ago approached them with a lazy mewl, sniffling the redhead's bare belly.
The blond smiled as Katie, the silver-furred cat, began licking the tiny footprint that could be seen on his lover's belly. The small foot of his baby... Their baby... He remembered the day he shared his wish with Reno. He seemed apprehensive at first...
"A baby?" He had asked, biting his thumb as he played with Min, one of the newborn cats. "You really think somebody would let a gay couple adopt one, yo?"
"I wasn't quite thinking about adopting... I was thinking about one of our own."
"By asking a chick to be a surrogate mother?"
"No... I was thinking about onereallyof our own. Result of our love-making that grew on one of our bellies..." Cloud massaged Abby's head but only had eyes to his lover.
Reno looked uncertain. "I don't know, yo... Is that even possible?" He asked, making a face.
Cloud nodded. "It is, for someone who has mako running on their veins. Thanks to that, one of us will be capable to support life and give birth to a baby, our baby..."
The redhead bit his lip, deep in thought. "What about prejudice?" He asked softly after a moment. "Do you think our baby would be safe from the society?"
"Of that, I'm not sure. We'll be here for him, that's certain we'll protect him for as long as we are capable of that."
Reno bit his lip again, petting the three small cats on his lap. "Then I guess a baby wouldn't be a bad idea at all." He smiled at Cloud's sudden joyous face.
.. But eventually agreed to start a family. Cloud wanted to be the one carrying the baby, since it was his idea and he didn't want Reno to go through the hell that a pregnancy may be, but since they discovered that the carrier had to take weekly mako injections directly into the womb the doctors would have to put on his body, the blond had to give up and let Reno take the womb since he was mako-sensitive and the injections would probably send him into a mako-poisoning, most likely resulting on his death as it would be his third or fourth poisoning he would be forced to go through.
They went through hell, desperately trying to generate a small living-being inside Reno but without avail. Mako injections were painful and risky so, considering that, the gay couple was already thinking about giving up in their dream until the day Reno woke up pretty sick, only having time to run to the bathroom as Cloud shook him awake for their weekly meeting with the doctor, this time having already decided to put their dream inside a box and seal it to avoid more pain, emotional and physical.
"What's wrong?" Cloud asked worriedly, hurrying to his lover's side and holding his hair back as the redhead emptied his already empty stomach.
"I-I don't know, yo." Reno muttered, feeling particularly weak and not only because of the sickness. "My head's killing me, make the floor stop..." He whimpered and lunched forward as another wave of sickness hit him.
That was the day when they discovered that they had finally achieved their goal. For the next nine months, Reno would have to endure morning sickness, dizziness, office work (since Cloud threatened Rufus in case he put Reno on a mission and he ended up injured, making them lose the baby) and occasional pains that the formation of the baby would give him but it wasn't anything that the redhead couldn't take and god, he felt happy with it. Just to be able to feel a baby, your baby, inside yourself, moving and hitting you sporadically was the best thing someone could go through. It made you feel like you were needed and Reno, for the first time in his life, felt like he had a reason to live besides Cloud.
Reno grinned suddenly, taking Cloud's hands and pressing them against a spot near the fragile-looking footprint. "Just feel this, yo..." He said faintly, closing his eyes at the sensation.
Cloud felt his smile grow as he felt his kid's other tiny foot rubbing the skin under his fingers. "How should we name him?" The blond asked and kissed his lover's temple, rubbing his thumb on his swollen belly.
"I have a name in my head but I don't know... It's... unusual."
"Try me."
"Cleno."
The blond thought for a moment, watching as his son's little footprint disappeared when the baby changed position. "I like it." He concluded, shifting under the soft blanket and enjoying his lover's warmth. "Our little Cleno..." He sighed happily, closing his eyes and listening to the sudden cracks of the fireplace, to the wind blowing on the windows, the small cats' soft mewls in the distance and to Reno's soft breathing.
"Ya know... I wonder how he's gonna be, yo." The redhead said softly, already imagining a small blond boy, running around and grinning like a fool.
"Probably a loudmouth, annoying but still attractive and caring redhead with big blue eyes." The blond chuckled, being smacked by the Turk.
"Bastard." Reno chuckled too, pushing the blanket away and getting up with Cloud's help.
"Where are you going?" the blond asked, curious.
"Need to go to the bathroom." The redhead rolled his eyes. "Damn runt, always making me run to the bathroom ta pee. And, as a 'fuck ya present', he's already so damn big that I can't even see my dick, yo! Lame!"
Cloud laughed as Reno walked with quick steps towards the other division as he kept ranting about his inner demons and Abby and her three kits trotted after him in a straight line.
Funny family he would have here.
