Torn (continuation of Haylee)
Genesis sat in his seat on the chopper. He was restless; just last night Haylee had been stricken ill with a fever. To make things worse, she was due any day now.
Angel sat next to Genesis, separating him from Sephiroth and Angeal, as well as Zack Fair, a new SOLDIER who started following Angel and the first classes.
Genesis looked out the window; they were going to Banora, so that he could be with Haylee. Everyone else just didn't want him to be alone.
Two hours went by before the chopper landed. Genesis got out of the fly contraption and rushed to his home.
Haylee was laying down on her and Genesis' bed when said man walked in. The red clad man walked over to her and sat down besides her, "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Fine, though Chloe's getting restless."
Genesis chuckled and pulled his ill lover into his arms, "I think she's going to be just like her mother. Beautiful and energetic."
"Not to mention stubborn, like her father."
Genesis chuckled again. Even when dangerously ill, she still managed to make him smile and laugh. Haylee leaned into Genesis, "I'm scared…What if something happens and she doesn't make it?"
Genesis stroked her hair, "I highly doubt that will happen. You're a strong woman, Haylee. You'll both be fine."
Haylee smiled, "Good, cause I think my water just broke."
Genesis paced back and forth in front of his bedroom door. His mother was helping Haylee give birth. Zack and Angel's head followed Genesis' movements. Sephiroth merely looked at a picture of the three first classes while Angeal helped Genesis' father in the back of the house.
Genesis flinched every time he heard Haylee scream. The sudden sound of a baby crying made everyone stop and look at the closed door. Mrs. Rhapsodos stepped out of the room and looked at her son, a strange look was in her eyes, "She wants to see you, Genesis."
The young man nodded and walked into the room. Haylee laid back and weakly held onto the fragile being just brought into this world, "Hey."
Genesis sat next to her again, "Hey…"
The small child looked at the red man. Haylee smiled and handed her to Genesis, "Told you it would be a girl."
"Yeah, you did."
Haylee smiled again and yawned. Genesis chuckled as his daughter copied her mother.
"Get some rest, Haylee."
Haylee nodded and closed her eyes, "Goodnight, Gen."
Genesis leaned over and kissed her forehead, "Goodnight. Sweet dreams."
After a few minutes, Genesis noticed something was wrong. Haylee wasn't moving. Genesis reached over and gently shook her, "Haylee?"
After not receiving an answer, he tried again, "Haylee!"
Again, no answer. Genesis checked her wrist for a pulse and felt his blood run cold. How could this happen? She was just here; she was just talking to him for Pete's sake!
The small child, still huddled safely in Genesis' arms, awoke when she felt something cold and wet drop onto her cheek. Looking up, the girl saw what would be her first memory. Genesis sat there shaking, pain-filled tears fell from his mako blue eyes. Only one word came from the first class. One word; a name. Her name.
"Haylee…"
