Rufus Shinra wakes up and looks at his mate.

Zack stretches his wings and rumbles softly.

Rufus Shinra kisses his cheek.

Rufus Shinra says, "morning love."

Zack says, "morning. Tell me... how did we get stuck with their little brat when they could take the two older better behaved ones with them?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I don't know. You think the two are tearing up the living room again?"

Zack says, "Probably... was Hana this bad... or more quiet since she didn’t have a... how to say... umm... partner in crime?"

Rufus Shinra says, "she used to get into stuff... but she was not this bad."

Zack cracks his back

Rufus Shinra gets out of bed and stretches.

Zack says, "can’t we just lock em in a little cage?"

Rufus Shinra laughs.

Rufus Shinra says, "you were in a cage for five years, I'm shocked you would say that."

Zack says, "Well... "

Zack hears something crash in the living room

Zack says, "Wonder what that used to be?"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh dear... we have to go fix that."

Zack nods

Zack says, "Wonder who started the spat this time... "

Rufus Shinra chuckles.

Rufus Shinra says, "mine or yours?"

Zack shrugs

Zack says, "Probably your little brat... "

Rufus Shinra says, "I nursed one and had the other... heh"

Zack says, "So fine... they're both yours... case closed... you get to clean up the mess they made."

Rufus Shinra laughs.

Rufus Shinra says, "you're my mate, you gotta help."

Rufus Shinra pulls his tail around Zack.

Zack says, "Aww shucks. Do you think they bounce?"

Rufus Shinra laughs.

Rufus Shinra says, "They bounce off the walls."

Rufus Shinra kisses him softly

Zack says, "Well I was gonna try drop kicking one. Do you feed them diabetics on me or something?"

Rufus Shinra says, "hey... don't do that. They are our children."

Rufus Shinra chuckles

Rufus Shinra says, "no, why?"

Zack says, "They act like little kids on a sugar high. C'mon lets go see what the little monsters broke"

Rufus Shinra says, "Well, they are little kids. It might have to do with the nectar."

Rufus Shinra walks out with him to see Squall and Seifer tussling on the floor by a broken lamp.

Zack says, "I'll get the dustpan... you go buy a plastic lamp or something."

Seifer squeaks as he play-fights with Squall.

Rufus Shinra says, "sure thing... I'll fix this."

Squall growls and bites at Seifer... but cant do much damage with his still emerging teeth.

Seifer bites back, clamping down on Squall's tail.

Squall Squeaks and tries to run away

Seifer chases after him.

Squall climbs up onto Rufus's head and scolds Seifer from there

Rufus Shinra chuckles and takes Squall off his head and holds him

Rufus Shinra says, "I should hand you over to Zack."

Rufus Shinra does so.

Seifer jumps up on Zack and tries to nip at Squall.

Zack says, "Hey hey... Seifer... behave"

Seifer says, "Behave?"

Zack says, "Yes... stop trying to bite Squall."

There comes a knock on the door.

Seifer says, "why?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'll get that."

Rufus Shinra pulls his wings around and heads for the door.

Reno stumbles in as soon as the door opens.

Zack says, "Or I’m going to throw you like a football."

Reno says, "Rufus... Zack..."

Seifer says, "football?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Woah... Reno... what the? You've been missing for nine months."

Zack grabs Seifer and prepares to huck him.

Seifer says, "hey!!!"

Rufus Shinra says, "Zack... I need help over here."

Reno stumbles over to the couch and sits down.

Zack tosses Seifer gently aside and sets Squall down

Seifer squeaks then jumps at Squall again.

Squall scampers on all fours out into the kitchen and tries to hide.

Zack says, "Yeah... what’s wrong?"

Seifer runs after Squall.

Reno says, "Sephiroth... he's coming..."

Zack goes over to Rufus and Reno.

Zack says, "He is?"

Zack spreads his wings in alarm.

Zack says, "Why?"

Reno nods and folds back his wings... showing the fact that he's very pregnant.

Reno says, "He wants his children..."

Squall climbs up onto the fridge and knocks some things down off the top of it.

Seifer dodges the item and climbs up after Squall.

Zack says, "He ain’t getting them."

Reno says, "I know... it's why I had to get away from him."

Reno strokes his fingers over his pouch.

Zack says, "Is that his child too?"

Reno says, "yes... he had me mate with him..."

Squall tries to open the freezer compartment of the fridge.

Seifer manages to get it open and tosses Squall in.

Squall says, "CooolDDDD!"

Seifer giggles and jumps in after him.

Rufus Shinra says, "oh dear... Zack, take care of Reno... I'll check the kids."

Rufus Shinra gets up and goes to the kitchen.

Zack says, "Crap... Cloud and a few of the kids are on Vacation with Aeris…"

Reno says, "oh."

Reno sighs and leans his head back.

Reno says, "and I'm due at any time..."

Zack says, "Hmm... do you think Rufus could fill in for Sephiroth?"

Reno says, "I... I don't think so. He'd have to have been preparing."

Squall shakes himself... then pounces Seifer even though it’s freezing.

Zack says, "Shit..."

Seifer tussles with Squall inside the freezer.

Rufus Shinra reaches in and picks up the fighting children.

Reno hangs his head.

Squall tries to climb inside Rufus' shirt since he's quite cold.

Rufus Shinra puts Squall in his shirt.

Squall says, "warm."

Seifer cries cause he's cold too.

Rufus Shinra puts Seifer in his shirt too and goes back to the couch.

Zack says, "Hopefully Seph won’t be able to find Cloud and Elena..... "

Reno says, "What's going to happen to my child here?"

Zack says, "We thought he was dead.."

Reno pats his pouch.

Zack says, "You’re going to have to let Sephiroth nurse it. Unless we can scrape Hojo up and fast... he kept Cloud's kid alive."

Reno says, "so did I ... but he nabbed me... and I can't let him... he's got terrible things planned... we all need to leave Midgar."

Rufus Shinra says, "huh?"

Squall purrs inside of Rufus's shirt... and uses his tail to whap Seifer.

Rufus Shinra looks at Reno, though is distracted by the infants curled up in his shirt.

Zack says, "Leave Midgar?"

Seifer bites the tail.

Squall squeaks.

Reno says, "yes.... he's going to destroy it..."

Zack says, "Destroy it... when? how?"

Reno says, "Jenova... Promised Land..."

Reno breaks down into tears that don't befit a Turk.

Zack says, "Rufus... should we start packing?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I think so... I'd never imagine him crying... this must be bad."

Zack nods and goes off to pack essentials for travel.

Seifer says, "packing?"

Squall pokes his head out of Rufus' shirt.

Squall says, "who dat?"

Rufus Shinra looks at Squall.

Rufus Shinra says, "who what?"

Squall points at Reno.

Rufus Shinra says, "oh, that's Reno."

Seifer bites Squall's tail again.

Squall says, "owie!!"

Rufus Shinra says, "Seifer, stop that."

Seifer lets go of the tail.

Squall climbs out of Rufus' shirt and perches on his shoulder.

Squall says, "Why man crying?"

Rufus Shinra pets Squall.

Rufus Shinra says, "He's sad... a very evil person is going to try and kill us all."

Reno sniffles and rubs his pouch again.

Reno says, "I... It might be time... I'm starting to feel pains..."

Squall says, "evil?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah."

Rufus Shinra looks at Reno

Zack comes out of the bedroom with a duffle bag,

Rufus Shinra says, "uh oh. ZACK!"

Zack says, "Huh?"

Reno says, "Pain..."

Rufus Shinra says, "I think he's... well...."

Zack says, "Shoot.... what are we gonna do?"

Seifer pokes his head out of the shirt next to Squall.

Rufus Shinra says, "help him would be good. I'd better get the kids elsewhere. Can you see what you can do?"

Zack says, "I birthed Cloud's kid... but ... What am I gonna be able to do ?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Just try."

Squall nips at Seifer for invading his space.

Rufus Shinra carries them off to the next room.

Zack goes over and probes at Reno’s pouch.

Zack says, "Dude... he's the black wing... why me?"

Reno says, "Owwww... hey."

Seifer nips back at Squall.

Rufus Shinra says, "ug.. you two stop fighting... please."

Seifer says, "why?"

Squall bites Rufus instead.

Rufus Shinra says, "hey... Squall.. bad."

Zack probes his fingers into Reno's pouch ... searching for the infant.

Reno groans and lies out on his back.

Reno says, "That hurts!"

Rufus Shinra takes Squall out of his shirt and sets him in his crib.

Rufus Shinra says, "You two should take a nap."

Zack says, "Sorry... I suck at this."

Squall says, "Not tired."

Rufus Shinra says, "What will make you sleep? Do I have to give a speech?"

Seifer jumps out next to Squall and curls up.

Reno says, "What are you doing?"

Squall says, "no speech!"

Squall curls up with Seifer.

Rufus Shinra says, "Then go to sleep."

Zack says, "Trying to get your child out... but Im not a black wing... why'd he tell me to do this?"

Reno says, "He had those other two children to deal with?"

Zack says, "He coulda given em to me... I woulda sat on em or something."

Seifer is already asleep by Squall.

Reno says, "That's probably why he didn't."

Squall grabs Seifer’s tail and goes to sleep.

Zack continues probing.

Reno groans more.

Reno says, "What's going to happen to the child?"

Zack says, "Don’t know... I hope Sephiroth shows up for once."

Reno says, "no... please no......"

Reno shivers and tries to curl up.

Rufus Shinra watches the children to make sure they are asleep.

Zack says, "You gotta... cooperate."

Reno says, "no Sephiroth..."

Rufus Shinra walks back into the living room.

Rufus Shinra says, "What's going on?"

Zack says, "I don’t know what Im doing.. Rufus.. please? What are we going to do with the child?"

Rufus Shinra says, "'I... I don’t know."

Rufus Shinra goes over to them.

Rufus Shinra says, "You have to get him uncurled."

Zack grabs Reno's arms and pulls them back... then grabs his legs with his tail and uncurls him

Reno says, "don't... don't let Sephiroth find me."

Zack says, "Shh... we wont"

Rufus Shinra says, "well... I'm not producing so we need to find another option for feeding."

Zack says, "Aeris' nectar maybe?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah. I'll ready some."

Zack returns to working on getting Reno’s child out... although he is clumsy

Rufus Shinra goes off to do that.

Reno says, "Owwww.... watch that!"

Zack says, "Sorry…"

Reno raps his tail around Zack's arm tightly.

Zack says, "Leggo please."

Reno lets go.

Zack feels the infant squirm as he pulls as gently as he can.

Rufus Shinra comes back and gives Reno a bottle of scotch.

Zack says, "Wanna lend a hand Rufus?"

Reno drinks down the scotch.

Rufus Shinra says, "sure."

Rufus Shinra goes by his mate and assists him.

Reno growls in pain.

Zack continues to pull.. but lets Rufus guide his hands more.

Rufus Shinra helps Zack to pull the child free.

Reno leans back, breathing heavily.

Rufus Shinra says, "well, we got another child."

Reno says, "don't let Sephiroth get the child... or his others..."

Reno shivers and curls up, biting the cord in too... but still shaking.

Zack says, "How we gonna take care of this one?"

Reno says, "don't... know..."

Reno shakes and curls into a tight ball.

Rufus Shinra holds the squealing child.

Rufus Shinra says, "Zack, um, check him out... I'm gonna feed this one some how."

Rufus Shinra goes off with the child.

Zack pokes Reno.

Zack says, "hey... you okay?"

Reno says, "no... shit..."

Reno continues to shake in his little ball.

Zack rubs Reno's shoulders.

Reno says, "gods... I didn't know....."

Reno coughs and presses tightly into himself.

Reno coughs more... rapped up into a tight ball.

Zack pokes Reno again.

Zack says, "Reno... wakey wakey."

Reno says, "grrrrr... damn.... Jenova... Sephiroth..."

Zack says, "Reno... what about Jenova?"

Reno says, "death.... uggggggg... sending Sephiroth.... get children.... destroy Midgar..."

Zack says, "He ain’t taking my kid... nor yours."

Reno coughs more.

Zack says, "Rufus... you packing?"

Rufus Shinra calls back from the other room.

Rufus Shinra says, "yes."

Zack says, "What did he do to you Reno?"

Reno says, "made me pregnant... and sick...."

Zack says, "Sick?"

Reno says, "Jenova.... uggggggggg."

Zack says, "Chill chill... you’re sick... does that mean we're gonna get sick?"

Reno says, "no.... doesn't work that way...."

Zack says, "Are you dying Reno?"

Reno shivers in a tight ball.

Zack grabs a blanket and tucks it around Reno.

Reno says, "just... don't let him take them..."

Reno shivers.

Zack says, "Shh... I wont... relax. If I let him take little Squall I'd be short a football... "

Reno sniffles and is fully rapped in his wings.

Zack says, "He likes it when I throw him... "

Reno says, "don't let go..."

Zack says, "don’t let go?"

Reno says, "of them..."

Reno shivers and looks like a huge blue ball now.

Zack says, "I wont let go of him... don’t worry.... "

Reno coughs and shivers.

Reno says, "thanks..."

Zack says, "You want anything Reno?"

Reno says, "Help..."

Zack says, "help? What can I do?"

Reno moves his tail out to Zack.

Reno says, "Help..."

Zack says, "Rufus?"

Zack takes Reno's tail.

Rufus Shinra from the next room.

Rufus Shinra says, "Yes?"

Zack says, "I don’t know what to do ... I’m so stupid. He's asking for help"

Reno says, "It's ok...."

Rufus Shinra says, "help? What sort of help?"

Zack says, "I think he's... dying .. or something."

Rufus Shinra says, "what??"

Rufus Shinra comes back into the room.

Reno says, "Jenova... Sephiroth..."

Zack says, "I don’t know. he's sick."

Rufus Shinra says, "sick? One of us is Sick??"

Reno says, "they did this too me... they are going to take Sephiroth's children..."

Zack says, "whose they?"

Reno says, "Jenova... Seph...."

Zack says, "What is Jenova?"

Reno groans in pain and stretches out on his side.

Reno says, "Alien... mother.... creator....."

Rufus Shinra blinks and looks to his mate... then hears Reno's child crying and goes back to care for it.

Zack says, "Creator?"

Reno says, "ohhhhhhhhh."

Reno twitches and makes a very shrill sound.

Zack says, "Reno?"

Reno growls loud and thrashes.

Zack says, "Hey... calm down... shh."

Reno says, "hhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeellllpppppp."

Zack says, "Shh... I wish I knew how to help."

Reno manages to turn to Zack and grabs him.

Reno says, "pleeeaasssssseeeeeeee."

Zack sits down and holds Reno.

Zack says, "Man... what am I supposed to do?"

Reno lets out another shrill sound and moves himself close into Zack.

Zack holds Reno Close... trying to comfort him.

Reno sniffles and gets himself close to Zack's warmth... getting very cold.

Zack says, "You’re Freezing Reno.... Geesh."

Reno looks up at Zack with blood-shot blue eyes.

Zack rocks Reno and strokes his hair.

Reno says, "Jenova must not get his children or all is lost..."

Zack says, "She wont.... what will Jenova do to them?"

Reno says, "sacrifice to... to... destroy...... and... conquer......"

Zack says, "Sacrifice? No way... No no no way.. he ain’t killing Squall... no matter how much I say I wanna do that myself... he ain’t killing my kid."

Reno says, "Sephiroth too....*coughs*.... she will have him kill them then himself....."

Reno's eyes start to droop.

Zack says, "But.. we ain’t gonna save Sephiroth... He's a loony... he forsook his mate and child...."

Reno says, "Jenova.... *coughs* Jenova bent his will to hers... she made him do it all..."

Zack says, "But he's still nuts and stronger than any of us."

Reno closes his eyes.

Reno says, "Kill... Jenova....."

Zack says, "Where is Jenova."

Reno says, "pr-promise... land..."

Zack says, "That place again?"

Reno says, ".....y--e-s...."

Zack says, "Why's he gotta pick some place where I freeze my tail off?"

Reno becomes rather limp on Zack's lap.

Zack says, "Reno?"

Reno does not respond at all.

Zack gently lays Reno out on the couch.

Zack says, "I better finish packing... and get the kids ready..."

Reno's wings droop down to the floor.

Zack pulls the blanket over Reno's body. sighs and goes to finish packing... hoping he can carry two kids and a couple of bags.

Reno doesn't move at all... put looks as if he is perspiring all over his skin.

Zack glances at Reno...

Zack says, "ick he looks like he's melting."

Reno does appear to be sort of melting.

Zack shudders. returns to packing ... setting the bags out on the balcony.

Reno starts dripping on the floor.

Zack shudders and collects the still sleepy children... dropping them in a duffle bag as well.

Reno's flesh becomes liquid and drips onto the floor... making a puddle.

Zack waits for Rufus to finish packing... and makes sure the kids can breathe.
