Rufus Shinra is curled up against Zack as he sleeps

Aeris Gainsborough is asleep next to Cloud, one wing over him

Zack flicks his tail in his sleep...

Zack wakes up and blinks...

Zack says, "Ugh... couldn’t you have waited just a little longer?"

Rufus Shinra opens an eye

Rufus Shinra says, "hmm?"

Rufus Shinra looks over at Zack

Aeris Gainsborough purrs softly

Zack says, "Its... coming"

Rufus Shinra sits up

Rufus Shinra says, "already... remember from last time?"

Zack says, "Yeah.. owie owie owie. Don’t let.. Seph take it .. "

Rufus Shinra says, "no one has even heard from Sephiroth since he killed the old man"

Rufus Shinra kisses Zack's cheek

Zack says, "He said he'd be back... "

Rufus Shinra says, "don't worry.... he will not be able to"

Rufus Shinra runs his fingers down to Zack's pouch

Rufus Shinra says, "I wonder if Cloud's ready too since you are... and both of you got pregnant at about the same time"

Zack purrs a little despite the pain

Rufus Shinra says, "ready love?"

Zack nods

Aeris Gainsborough flicks her tail against one of Cloud's wings as she sleeps

Rufus Shinra starts to pull at Zack's pouch

Cloud Strife wakes up and looks at Aeris

Zack whimpers

Aeris Gainsborough is still asleep at his side

Zack says, "I’m... gonna try not to carry on like I did.. last time"

Rufus Shinra says, "it's ok"

Cloud Strife smiles and caresses one of Aeris' wings

Rufus Shinra uses his tail to grab Zack a bottle from next to the bed

Rufus Shinra says, "drink up love"

Rufus Shinra pulls on Zack's pouch some more

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and opens her eyes

Aeris Gainsborough says, "good morning"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him sweetly

Zack puts the bottle in his mouth to silence himself

Rufus Shinra reaches his hands into the pouch

Zack grunts and bites down on the bottle.. glad its not strong enough to shatter glass

Rufus Shinra takes hold of the child within and starts to pull gently

Zack wraps his tail around one of Rufus' arms

Cloud Strife says, "sleep well?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "next to you of course"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "love... let go of my arm please"

Cloud Strife says, "of course"

Zack looses his tail

Rufus Shinra uses his tail to pull as well

Rufus Shinra says, "you have something you have to do... remember?"

Aeris Gainsborough nuzzles at his neck

Rufus Shinra says, "you have something you have to do... remember?"

Cloud Strife purrs softly and strokes his fingers through Aeris' hair

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and kisses his nose

Cloud Strife says, "You changed my life for the better"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "and mine too"

Zack wraps his tail around Rufus' leg instead, probing his fingers into his mate's pouch

Rufus Shinra continues to pull.. hearing a squishing sound.... growling softly

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how are you feeling?"

Rufus Shinra hears the child start to cry... pulling it halfway out of the pouch

Aeris Gainsborough perks her ear up

Aeris Gainsborough says, "do you hear crying?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes.. I do"

Aeris Gainsborough gets off the bed

Aeris Gainsborough says, "let's go check it out"

Cloud Strife remains sitting on the bed

Cloud Strife says, "I guess... we can"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh... Cloud, are you alright?"

Zack whaps Rufus across the forehead with his tail

Rufus Shinra pulls a little more... getting most of the child out of the pouch

Rufus Shinra says, "what was that for?"

Cloud Strife says, "I’m fine "

Aeris Gainsborough touches his shoulder

Aeris Gainsborough says, "are you sure?"

Zack says, "If you were Seph.. I'd do it harder"

Cloud Strife nods

Rufus Shinra says, "but I'm not Seph..."

Zack says, "I know.. I know....."

Rufus Shinra pulls the child the rest of the way out of the pouch

Zack says, "It’s not the same.. as having Hana.."

Rufus Shinra says, "why?"

Rufus Shinra licks the child off and smiles gently at it as it squirms in his arms

Aeris Gainsborough says, "shall we go see then?"

Zack says, "Because I was taken advantage of "

Cloud Strife nods and stands up

Rufus Shinra says, "but you still love the child, don't you?"

Zack says, "Of course"

Rufus Shinra looks at the trailing cord and then at Zack

Rufus Shinra says, "good"

Zack says, "I’m just worried for it"

Rufus Shinra says, "so am I"

Zack pulls the cord towards himself and bites through it... tying it off

Rufus Shinra hears the child cry in hunger as it squirms in his arms

Zack says, "Just... the last time there was a child born... It was just way painful"

Rufus Shinra says, "to you or do you mean Cloud's child?"

Cloud Strife hears the hunger cries of the newborn and cringes

Aeris Gainsborough places her hand on Cloud's shoulder

Zack says, "It.. hurt to watch that poor kid suffering... "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "love?"

Rufus Shinra nods slowly

Cloud Strife says, "Brings back bad memories "

Rufus Shinra says, "well, are you going to help stop the crying here?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I can understand that..."

Zack says, "Yes..."

Aeris Gainsborough nuzzles his neck softly

Zack taps the child's forehead and helps Rufus with his pouch

Rufus Shinra growls slight in pain and lets the child go underneath to feed

Zack says, "Needs a name "

Rufus Shinra says, "your turn... I named our daughter"

Zack says, "Oh I suck at naming things"

Rufus Shinra says, "come on, you have to think of a name"

Rufus Shinra leans back on the bed... the child nursing from the pouch

Aeris Gainsborough says, "come on, let's go see"

Aeris Gainsborough leads Cloud to the door of Zack and Rufus's room and knocks

Rufus Shinra is falling asleep again with the child in his pouch

Cloud Strife clings to Aeris... not wanting bad memories

Aeris Gainsborough kisses Cloud's cheek softly

Rufus Shinra says, "zzzzzz"

Aeris Gainsborough knocks on the door again

Zack says, "Come in"

Aeris Gainsborough opens the door and walks in with Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hi"

Zack says, "Hi... Rufus is fading out with the little one.. and I think I’m joining him for a nap"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "so you had your child?"

Rufus Shinra says, "zzzzzz"

Zack nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I... we heard the crying"

Zack says, "Keep your eyes on Cloud... me giving birth might trigger him"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I know"

Aeris Gainsborough looks at Cloud and kisses his cheek

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how are you feeling Zack?"

Zack says, "Am fine.... a little beat"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what about you love?"

Cloud Strife says, "I’m scared"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "why?"

Aeris Gainsborough frowns and pulls a wing around him

Cloud Strife says, "Because of what happened last time"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "but we are all here... that can't happen again"

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth... is still......."

Rufus Shinra says, "zzzzzzzz"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "out there?"

Cloud Strife nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'll protect Cloud"

Cloud Strife grimaces slightly

Aeris Gainsborough kisses Cloud's cheek and raps her tail around his

Cloud Strife says, "Bed"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "alright"

Aeris Gainsborough leads him back to their room

Rufus Shinra smiles in his sleep.... the infant still nursing in his pouch

Cloud Strife clings to Aeris... shaking a little

Aeris Gainsborough sits down and draws him gently onto her lap

Zack stretches a wing over Rufus and rests next to him... smiling

Aeris Gainsborough says, "don't worry my loving Cloud, no one will harm you"

Cloud Strife says, "I hurt a little..... "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you do?"

Aeris Gainsborough places her fingers lightly on his pouch

Cloud Strife nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "here?"

Cloud Strife Whimpers a little

Aeris Gainsborough leans her head closer to his

Aeris Gainsborough says, "is it time then?"

Cloud Strife nods and folds his wings around himself

Aeris Gainsborough moves Cloud's wings out of the way

Aeris Gainsborough says, "don't worry... I'm here"

Cloud Strife pants and draws away

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud..."

Aeris Gainsborough frowns

Cloud Strife lies back on the bed and tries to relax

Aeris Gainsborough places her hands to his pouch as she looks down at him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I've never done this before"

Cloud Strife says, "Please be careful. I ... trust you though"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "alright...."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles sweetly and gently starts to pull open the pouch

Aeris Gainsborough says, "is this ok?"

Cloud Strife says, "yes"

Aeris Gainsborough moves a hand into the pouch as she gets it more open

Cloud Strife grits his teeth

Aeris Gainsborough says, "tell me if you think I'm doing wrong"

Aeris Gainsborough puts her other hand in and searches around

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ah.. found it"

Aeris Gainsborough starts to pull gently

Cloud Strife wraps his tail around one of his own arms to keep it out of Aeris' way

Aeris Gainsborough feels the child squirm as she raps her tail around it to help drag it out

Cloud Strife says, "hurts.."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I know... I know"

Cloud Strife slips his fingers into Aeris' own pouch... and tickles inside gently...

Aeris Gainsborough purrs, still gently pulling the child free from Cloud's pouch

Cloud Strife slips his hand further into the pouch and stretches it a little

Aeris Gainsborough grunts in pain but manages to take the child out of Cloud's pouch

Cloud Strife closes his eyes and sighs softly

Cloud Strife says, "wasn’t... too bad"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and the squirming and crying child in her arms... connected to Cloud by a long cord

Cloud Strife reaches out and pulls the cord to his lips.. biting it and tying it off....

Aeris Gainsborough licks the child clean and smiles at Cloud

Cloud Strife reaches to touch the tiny thing in Aeris' arms

Aeris Gainsborough shows the child to Cloud so he can touch it

Aeris Gainsborough says, "it needs to be fed"

Cloud Strife says, "yes. don’t... let it cry"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "need help you know"

Cloud Strife helps Aeris with her pouch again.. so she can get the child inside

Aeris Gainsborough puts the child up into her pouch and closes her eyes

Cloud Strife smoothes his hand over the pouch and purrs

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and purrs, laying out on the bed

Cloud Strife spreads a wing over Aeris and cuddles against her side.. careful of the child inside her pouch

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm so happy"

Cloud Strife says, "thank you for taking me in"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you are more then welcome.... we both got something we wanted and more"

Cloud Strife says, "You.. love me right"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "very much"

Aeris Gainsborough kisses him softly

Cloud Strife smiles

Cloud Strife says, "You know... I love you too... even though Im still... not ... me "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "we've brought joy into each other's lives... what is there not to love?"

Cloud Strife says, "I will protect you from him… He will come"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "he? Sephiroth?"

Cloud Strife nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh, what are we gonna name the child?"

Cloud Strife says, "I... don’t know.. any ideas?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hmmm.... Seifer? how does that sound?"

Cloud Strife says, "An odd name, but I like it.”

Aeris Gainsborough says, "So do I."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and kisses his nose.

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I am very tired now... let's sleep."

Cloud Strife says, "Sleep then beloved."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "in your arms, with the child we care for."

Cloud Strife says, "Nothing... will take you away."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "nor you beloved."

Aeris Gainsborough cuddles softly against him. falls asleep against him.

Cloud Strife nips Aeris' shoulder and falls asleep.. keeping himself in a protective position.
