Tifa waited until Sephiroth had closed his door for the night and then stole into his room, "Sephiroth" she whispered so as not to startle him.

He sat up in bed and turned on the light on his nightstand, his chest nude and wondered what she was doing in his room, even though she didn't really respect boundaries too well, Tifa was careful about allowing him his privacy. "Are you okay?" he asked her, thinking it might be some kind of emergency.

She sat on his bed, "I'm fine, okay maybe not so fine. There is something brewing between us, I think you sense it too. I want to know that I have grown fond of you and do care for you in every way. You seem...conflicted. I want you to know that us making love is not out of the question" she said in a rush as she blushed.

Sephiroth was frozen in shock that the great unspoken was revealed like the elephant in the room and he also realized that, she knew and had an answering blush on his face. He rubbed the back of his head nervously while his mind replayed his more lucid dreams. "I don't know what to say..." he said in a nervous tone of voice that was silenced by a soft, gentle kiss that robbed him of his senses and he found himself returning it until their kiss grew so it borderlined on almost desperate and he finally wrenched himself free. His eyes wild with desire and his breath ragged and moaned as her lips pressed kisses to his jaw and the length of his neck. "I don't kno...I'm not sure...I think" he said in a stucco voice while his body begged him to give in.

Tifa sat back, she didn't want to use his arousal against him this time, it had to be fully his choice and his alone, instead she took both of his hands and said, "I want to love you only for yourself and only if you want it to. I'm very sorry how things were so deceitful the last time between us. I never wanted this for you, not to put you in this situation, not to make you feel so vulnerable. I care for you and you alone but I want you and I know you desire me too. If nothing happens tonight and you refuse me, I shall never mention this again" she promised him.

He could only look down at where their hands were entwined. "I do want you as well but why would you want me like this?" he said indicating to his distended abdomen.

"You're carrying my child and are no less attractive then before" she said gently putting a hand on his belly while the other cupped his cheek.

"I don't know how" he said in a voice reminiscent of their first encounter.

"I'll show you how" she promised him and kissed him again while her hands stroked along the bare flesh of his torso.

"I don't think I'm ready for that, like this. That materia from before, you have some here don't you?" he asked her with a blush.

"Would it be easier on you if you were a woman?" she asked him without judgment in her voice and he shyly nodded and she slipped from the room to get the materia.

She looked at the beautiful pregnant woman on the bed to where the timid creature had the covers drawn up to her neck and Tifa stood tall and naked before her and sat down beside her and put his arms about her. "There is nothing to fear, it's not going to hurt like before because your hymen is gone. It will be a little painful on the initial entry because it is only your second time, but I will prepare you like before. Would you like that?" she asked Sephiroth, who looked distinctly nervous but said in a small voice.

"Yes."

Tifa gently unwrapped the shy young beauty and arranged her on her back and gently kissed her swollen belly before stimulating her tender breasts and her already dampening sex until his fingers flicked her sweet spot. While his tongue stirred her honey pot and her desperate cries filled the room. Sephiroth didn't try to contain her impending orgasm this time as her hips lifted in time to the lashes of Tifa's tongue, her hands were fisted into his hair as what felt like molten gold settled heavily into her groin and with a cry, she came so heavily her cum actually leaked from her to coat Tifa's busy tongue. Tifa leaned up to hold her through her orgasm, noting that her girly cum was really tasty and wondered what Sephiroth's true essence tasted like in his natural form.

Sephiroth shuddered against him and then Tifa leaned back slightly and said to her "I want you on your back for now and then I want you to ride me" she said pulling downwards her by her legs so they were hugely straddled and he stood between them, looking down at her while her buttocks were at the end of the bed. "Move all you want, I want to take you like this first because I want to see how you look when I penetrate you. There are lots of positions we can do but I like watching you, especially when you cum, you look beautiful when you cum" Tifa said as he wrapped her long legs around his hips.

Sephiroth was so turned on by this speech that it was almost shameful, one quick thrust with a slight twinge of pain and Tifa filled her empty and aching sheath, impaling her so deliciously deep that her eyes slammed shut and her head lulled back. Tifa leaned over to capture the captivated girl's lips as she began gentle thrusts into her that had her purring. There was no furious pace this time, there was a slow buildup in fear that Tifa might hurt the child that grew inside her belly. Sephiroth was still beautiful in either form, her pregnant belly making her seem even sweeter in Tifa's eyes as their bodies moved together, a sharp cry and the bite of her nails on Tifa's back clued him into her first internal orgasm as much as the rapid clenching of her silken walls as she milked him for all he was worth.

Some gentle maneuvering and she bounced in his lap while his hands supported her extra weight and encouraged her to set her own pace and with each flex of her firm thighs, Tifa heaved himself into her until she wailed like the first time and Tifa thrust himself into the wild pulsations that clenched on him and he came heavily inside of her. Soon an exhausted Sephiroth slept in his arms, her body curled into his and he felt a wave of protection like he never had before.

So it began, the sexual side of their relationship.

It was only as a woman that Sephiroth seemed to feel comfortable expressing himself sexually as time went on and at least once a week, would slip without warning into Tifa's room in her female form and carrying an orb for her. Tifa never refused his need for sexual intimacy nor mocked him as she knew how hard it had to be for him-who had never trusted anyone, to need to ask this of another person. Instead Tifa as a man would take the still rather shy Sephiroth into bed and give her all the sexual pleasure she could handle until she expired with bliss in Tifa's arms. Normally she would wake up alone and back to her true form with Sephiroth's warmth lingering on the sheets. Tifa had found in Sephiroth a perfect lover, with a sex drive just as high as her own and fully bisexual, though he was still reluctant to have sex as a male. He felt more comfortable exploring his sexuality anonymously as a female and Tifa was fine with that and explore they did, both searching the internet for more positions to try while pregnant. He was a fine lover as a woman Tifa felt a happiness being with him that she hadn't encountered for years.

As a male, things had improved with him as well. Now that he acknowledged his need for affection, all barriers were gone as she wrapped him in tight hugs to her hearts content and he returned them. He now thought nothing of putting his head in her lap if she was reading or watching TV, knowing her habit of stroking people like they were cats. The new openness delighted them both as they developed a deeper understanding of each other.

Tifa, Sephiroth discovered hadn't come with him out of duty, she genuinely cared for him and was a kind and compassionate person with a sarcastic wit. He got comfortable with her to the point that he was able to open up and tell her some of the less horrific things about being raised as a specimen in the lab. He didn't tell her of the more terrifying things, but what little he told her was enough to make the tenderhearted woman sob and clutch onto him like she sought to protect him from his own past. She was loyal and kept the secret of their new relationship even from her best friend, though both Tseng and Yuffie had looked poignantly from one to the other when Tifa had had to ask for more Materia but her neutral expression had learned to mimic his own by then.

Sephiroth, when he came out of his shell allowed her to see the person he actually was. He had a very dry wit and she could easily see that had he been able to develop naturally as a person, he most likely would have been popular with people, a natural leader. He was well spoken, emotionally stunted but that wasn't his fault. After all, little thought had been given to his social development when all his father had cared about was his brute strength, fighting skills and intelligence. She came to care about him as a person inside and out. To Tifa, he became beautiful and not even his belly growing to the size of six months pregnancy could diminish this.

However to Sephiroth, he seemed to be impossibly huge, it was like he had a huge beer gut, in fact a whole keg. On a female, a pregnant belly looked adorable. On his long and lean body, it looked like he had swallowed a beach ball. All of the pants he now wore had either and draw string waist band or elastic. His lower back ached and his self esteem as low as it had ever been. However Tifa was a perfect balm for his bruised ego at how she assured him he was handsome as before but his condition made him even more precious. She stroked and caressed his fears away, ran endless hot baths for him with her own blends of epsom salts to sooth his aches, gave him massages and relocated practically every spare pillow from the numerous rooms into his bed so he could make himself comfortable. Finally, she made love the hugely pregnant girl who sought the comfort sexual intimacy gave her and promised her she was still desirable.

Tifa became Sephiroth's world and he no longer felt lonely at her easy affection with him. He trusted her as he had no one else before and slept better beside her, especially when he had his nightmares associated with his former life and she was there for him in his terror.

She tried to keep him entertained, showing him how to fish, taking him on picnics, hikes or even just swimming with him in the pool, anything she could think of to keep the normally busy man from boredom.

However it sometimes wasn't enough.

"I'm bored" Sephiroth complained when Tifa was about to start dinner.

"Then let's get out of here for a while" she said taking off her apron.

"And go where?" He asked her.

"Out for dinner" she said.

"But where, how?" He said in confusion.

"Simple, I pass a causal looking diner when I go for groceries. It looks like a mom and pop sort of joint that probably has great food; we'll go there" she announced.

"With me looking like this?" He said incredulously with panic in his voice.

"You look hot, I doubt they will insist you wear a tie" she joked, he wore a pair of jeans again because she had added an elastic to the waistband of some of his looser ones out of sympathy with how limited his wardrobe was at the moment. He wore a grey hoodie that draped over his belly .

"But what if someone recognizes me?" he asked.

"I doubt anyone will in this poodunk little town, if anyone does, give them your trademark smirk and sign their autograph" she said taking his arm and leading the protesting man out. He didn't drive but Tifa did and Rufus had leant her a car for the duration of their stay there. She waited until Sephiroth put his seatbelt on and drove off.

Tifa could tell that Sephiroth was nervous when she pulled into the parking lot and he opened the door for her, she took his arm in support of him when they walked to the restaurant. People did look at him when they walked in but the place was dim and his hair looked almost platinum blonde in the lowly lit florescent lighting. Tifa smiled at everyone and asked for a private table for them.

"There that wasn't so bad, hardly anyone even glanced at you" she assured him.

"But the way I look?" He whispered to her.

"When people look over, they see a tall man with a beer gut out on a date" she said, slipping her hand into his and leaned forward and gently kissed him on his lips.

"Tifa, why are you doing this in public?" He asked her, blushing slightly.

"What do you think people do on dates?" She said playfully.

"Things that result in unplanned pregnancies?" He deadpanned and this caused Tifa to laugh.

"I'm Tammy and I'll be your waitress this evening," the bored looking teenager said, opening her pad and barely glancing at them. "Would you like something to drink? We have an excellent selection of beer" she said noticing Sephiroth's abdomen and this caused Tifa to try and try to disguise her laugh as a cough into her fist at Sephiroth's look of affront.

"I do not drink alcohol of any description and I would mind your manners if you are hoping for any sort of a tip" he snapped. "I'll have the meatloaf" he said, handing her his menu.

"I'll have the soup of the day and a tuna melt and we'll have two orange juices" Tifa said.

"Honestly how rude!" Sephiroth bristled.

"You want to summon masamune and take her out?" She asked him.

"Don't tempt me" he said, giving her a thoughtful look that made her crack up.

"She didn't notice anything strange about you, but your adorable belly" Tifa pointed out.

"That's true. You really think it's adorable?" He asked her.

"As the rest of you. I'm just realizing it has been a long time since I have been on a date" she said.

"It must have to do with your lacking personality" Sephiroth teased.

"Was that a joke coming from you, Mr. Crescent?" She bugged him back. "When was the last time you were on a date?" She demanded, punching him lightly on the arm.

"Let's see, born and raised in a lab, then given to the army and then there was the crazy part. This would be my first one" he said.

"That's so sad" she said.

"At least it's with someone I care about" he said almost shyly and slipped his hand into hers and they both basked in the moment, until their waitress brought over her lemonade and his Molson Canadian, which they sent back for their original drink orders. Then his spaghetti with meatballs showed up and her salmon and they gave up and ate what they got, liking the food anyway. They resolved to do it again soon and demand to be seated in another section.

For Sephiroth, he had never held someone's hand in public and it felt a little weird but at the same time it felt, there were no word he could think of to describe it but...nice. He kept on looking at Tifa, basking in the attention she was giving him and realized he wanted to share his body with her and make love to in her in their true forms. He idly wondered what had been holding him back and realized it was because he had been safeguarding himself against romantic attachments but he was already a prisoner to the emotions that Tifa stirred in him and he wanted her in every way. To be in the guise of the nameless female had freed him and allowed him the freedom to explore love but the jig was up, he could still enjoy sex in that form, but wanted to be a man for Tifa and longed to make her scream his name on her release.

Tifa wondered why Sephiroth was so silent on the ride back, not that he was one given to idle chatter. However, he made his intentions known by firmly kissing her and sweeping her up into his arms and purposely strode towards his bedroom. Tifa was surprised by the romantic gesture that she was certain he learned from one of her romance films but almost felt like warning him about heavy lifting in his delicate condition, but then remember that he was still Sephiroth. "Sephiroth..." She began.

"No talking, just let me love you" he said as he set her on the bed and started undressing her, feeling incredibly turned on as each delicious inch of her was revealed to his humid eyes. Tifa shivered with arousal as her panties were authoritatively pulled down her legs.

"Should I get the materia?" She asked him through dry lips as he undressed himself and his formidable, massive erection was revealed and bobbed in the air. It should have looked comical jutting firmly from his groin under his swollen abdomen but there was nothing funny about it, Sephiroth had been well blessed by the Goddess!

Sephiroth thought he would be shy to be fully naked in his true from before Tifa, but instead felt like it was natural, yet felt a touch of vanity that he couldn't be like how he looked before he got pregnant, but that form had been untouched and if anything, his pregnancy had freed him of his inhabitations and loath of skin on skin contact as much as his female body normally did. "No I want you like this" he said as he examined her body, knowing how to pleasure it from his own sexual excursions as a female. It was like he had the blueprints to Tifa's body in his mind. "Do you want me?" He asked her as he sat beside her.

"Yes" she said touching his cheek and it was like he wanted to melt into her body and become one with her. "But you're a virgin in this form. Don't you want your first time to be with someone special, someone you care deeply about?" She asked him.

"I want my first time to be with you" he said honestly. "I'm just not sure how best to go about it" he said looking down at his belly.

"I have a suggestion" Tifa said.

She looked over her shoulder at him as he caressed her body while she was on her hands and knees before him, he draped himself across her back so that his long, soft hair fell on either side of her and he kissed her, running his hands forward along her sides and then under her chest to caress her low hanging breasts to tease her ultra sensitive nipples in a way that caused her to mew.

He drew back a bit to playfully nibble the lob of one ear while his hands caressed the smooth flesh of her back downwards, tracing a finger down the knobs of her spinal column until he reached the pert plush globes of her elevated cheeks and looked to where the petals of her sex were unfurled and already moist looking. He was glad now of exploring his sexuality as a female because he knew how to be gentle, he knew how to prepare a woman to be loved from Tifa herself, who was a generous lover and well endowed in her male form.

Leaning forward he placed his lips on her sex, gently kissing it before beginning to tongue her from behind, lightly entering her pouting core and teasing her clit. She was shaking from the stimuli, her hips swaying in time to his licks while he penetrated her with his fingers in imitation of what he would give her soon. He worked her until she gasped out his name as she came.

Moving behind her, he placed the bulbous head of his huge endowment against her soft lips and placed his hands on her hips.

Using gentle forward and back rocking motions, he nudged himself within her a millimeter at a time, mastering his time. He hissed when he was locked within her, she was exceedingly tight and she cried out in a mixture of pleasure and pain and panted as her body stretched to accommodate his girth, shivering slightly.

"Just pause for a bit" she said. He did and then began to plunge slowly in and out of her and Tifa groaned, he was so big that he was touching her everywhere until it felt like she was vibrating around him.

Sephiroth eyes slammed shut at how she tightened on him like a vice, yet stretched around him until he moved more easily inside of her.

She gasped at the heat, her arousal swung upwards in a huge surge. His thickness pushed, tunneling deep. She wiggled and he groaned as he cupped her breasts and teased her dangling nipples, she moaned softly. Sweet sparks tingled outward from her nipples.

He withdrew and then thrust back in, giving her his full length. She gasped, whimpering as the sweet sensation overtook her as her orgasm approached. They melted into motion, her body meeting his with a backstroke with each of his thrusts, bumping and grinding as his hips circled, pumped and pounded at her. She cried out as her cum coated his thick shaft.

This spiked his own arousal as his own growls were coming faster and more frequently as they tore from his throat with abandonment. They lost all finesse, all delicacy. This was raw, primitive sex and god how she loved it.

She unraveled, she screamed again as orgasm sent her up, tore her into bits, wrecked her composure and she sobbed through the bliss.

Sephiroth was faring no better as his first bodily climax as a male, heat poured off of him, his body a quiver with the need to climax and with a final thrust home, he coated her silken walls with his thick, hot cum.

Both were a sweaty disheveled mess afterwards as she limped into the bathroom and retrieved a warm wash cloth and towel for him to clean himself with and got back into bed, hugging his belly against her own and laughed when she was nudged from within it by tiny limbs. "It seems we woke our daughter up" she said as she placed her forehead against his and lay her hand on the firm flesh of his belly. Their last ultrasound had confirmed this.

Soon they snuggled up and fell asleep but Sephiroth couldn't sleep right away, knowing that his solace, the only happiness he had ever known would soon come to an end. It had to.
