Final Chapter
Chapter 5: True Emotion
Tifa was asleep for the morning's events however Cloud had told her what had happened, he told how the rain was pouring heavily and there was lightning and how Denzel and Marlene had come into her room to sleep with Tifa. Tifa remembered the way her cheeks turned red when Cloud told her this, after all both him and her were naked under the sheets, however he told her how he dealt with it, she wasn't sure what he meant by it but she would have to ask him later. It was already eleven a.m. and she was still in bed, still exhausted from the night's events, however her lover was not, he was already up and about, he even made breakfast for the children before she was even awake. The rain had died down but there was still a strong drizzle outside. The atmosphere was cold and all Tifa wanted to do was to stay under her covers, she was still all naked with her clothes on the floor, part of her wondered how the children could have missed both Cloud's and her clothes scattered all over the floor of her room.
She turned on her side, then turned again to lie on her back, she sighed, she was to awake to go back to sleep but she was too exhausted to move and the atmosphere made it perfect for sleeping.
"I wonder what the children are doing now?" She asked herself, "I should go check on them."
She moved to get up but there were parts of her body that felt very sore, she fell back on the bed again, the dark hair spreading over the white sheets.
"Cloud," She said speaking to herself, "It was my first time you could have at least been more gentle."
"Sorry bout that," A male voice called out from the entrance of her room.
Tifa immediately sat up and used her blanket to cover the front of her body. In the doorway to her room stood the blond-haired man she loved, dressed in his usual navy blue shirt, that was half-way zipped open and long dark blue jeans, his hands were ungloved and he wore a pair of black boots on his feet.
"Cloud!" Tifa exclaimed.
The blond swordsman approached the female on the bed.
"Sorry about that Tifa," He said as he sat next to her.
Tifa immediately threw her arms around him, releasing the white blanket around her.
"It's okay Cloud I don't mind," She said as she hugged him.
"Tifa I've been waiting to do that for so long, I couldn't hold myself back," Cloud said apologetically.
"Cloud, don't worry about it," Tifa replied.
Suddenly they were both interrupted by two small figures standing in the doorway. One dressed in a white t-shirt and long brown pants, the other in a sleeveless white turtle neck top and white skirt.
"Come on Cloud, you promised you'd go get ice-cream for us," The brown-haired exclaimed.
Tifa immediately held her blanket serving as her sole garment firmly in place.
"Are you going out in this weather?" Tifa asked.
Marlene simple nodded her head. The rain may have eased up a bit but it still was not safe for traveling.
"Not us, just Cloud," Denzel stated.
Tifa turned to Cloud, "Don't ask, just part of our agreement from this morning."
Tifa rolled her eyes and lay back on her bed, "Just hurry up, I have somewhere to go today."
All eyes were now on Tifa surprised.
"Where are you going?" Cloud asked.
"There's somewhere I have to go to, but don't worry I won't be long, I'll wait until you reach back," Tifa answered.
It was a little past midday when Cloud arrived back home, the rain had just recently ceased after about an hour of drizzles but it was still overcast. The streets were still wet and puddles of water formed wherever they could. When Cloud walked back into the bar he was soaking wet, his clothes were dripping all over the floor, in his right hand carried a pail of ice-cream, upon seeing the sight the two children dashed forth and grabbed the ice-cream from Cloud's hand, and went over to a table.
"I just hope no water didn't get into it," Denzel exclaimed.
"I don't think so, it's still frozen," Marlene replied.
'Unbelievable, they are completely unconcerned and are both ignoring me' Cloud said in his mind but shrugged it off when he saw them smiling and giggling when then began to eat it, when he saw the sight a half-smile formed on his lips.
After about five minutes he decided to get into a change of clothes, after all his current apparel were uncomfortable. He turned to the staircase only to see his lovely maiden smiling down at him, she stood there with one shoulder propped against the wall dressed in her usual attire, Cloud couldn't help but admire her, he could feel his desire to ravish her filling up again.
Tifa smiled and came down to him, Cloud embraced her, Tifa didn't mind that he was completely drenched, she merely stood there looking up at him. Both pairs of lips connected at first it began as a soft kiss with only their lips brushing against each other but it soon became more passionate. Tifa felt her lover's tongue pry her lips open as he forced it into her mouth, she didn't fight back or try to resist, she enjoyed it, though a part of her wished he could be more gentle, he was like a man that was drunk, finally the two were forced to break for air, after a few seconds of panting Cloud went on the offensive again but as he reached down for her she stopped him.
"Cloud I have to go out for a while," Tifa said simply.
"You can go later," Late replied quickly and reached down for her again but she turned her head just in time to avoid his kiss.
"Cloud please, the children are right there, when I come back we'll do whatever you want," She stated.
"Anything I want?" Cloud questioned.
Tifa nodded and soon the two broke their embrace and Tifa headed out the bar but not before kissing Marlene and Denzel on their foreheads and telling them goodbye.
About half and hour later Tifa arrived at her destination a broken down abandoned church. She opened the large wooden doors and walked through the entrance. It was exactly as they left it, pillars were left broken, tire marks on the floor, some of the chairs were broken and out of place. Oddly enough the pool of water where the children had been refilled probably by the earlier rain, there were flowers on the outskirt of the pool. Tifa went up to the pool and knelt down, she knew that the flower girl was always with them but this is the place where she felt closest to her, and right now there was something she needed to tell her.
"Hey there," She said calmly, "You probably already know about Cloud and me don't you."
There was nothing but silence but out of nowhere a gentle breeze started to blow.
Tifa smiled, but then she lowered her head and spoke again "I just wanted you to know I didn't take him away from you, in truth I've always loved him also, even when you told my your confession, I know we were friends but I felt so ashamed to tell you I was also in love with the person you were involved with."
The wind had died now and the silence was deafening, tears began forming on the corners of Tifa's eyes.
"You're angry aren't you, I guess I would be also, but Aerith believe me I love him I truly do, and…I…I believe I can make him happy, so please forgive me, I just want to be with him," Tifa said somberly.
Slowly the wind began blowing again as it gently caressed Tifa she heard it carrying a voice.
"It's okay," the voice said, "you should have told me how you felt."
"But you were already in love with him, I would just be getting in your way," Tifa replied.
"But didn't he say that you were the one he loved, that he had always loved, honestly haven't you sacrificed enough, you should go find your happiness, I'm happy where I am," The tender voice stated.
"Thank you," Tifa said as she stood up.
"Tifa I wish you and Cloud all the best, you'll make a great mother to your unborn son," The voice said as it faded.
With the last statement Tifa's mouth opened as she gasped, but it soon faded into a broad smile, her finger trailed over her exposed stomach, was she now pregnant, 'but it had only been the night before how could Aerith have known?' but then she realized that her dead friend probably knew things she could only comprehend.
Before she left she bowed her head in respect, then proceeded to the large entranceway.
She arrived back home the same amount of time it took her to reach the church. This time the overcast sky had begun to clear up and the sun could be seen shining in the partially covered sky. When she reached into the bar the dark-haired girl was surprised to see Cloud alone in the bar, she had expected him to be teaching the children as he usually did.
"Where are the children?" She asked.
"They went by one of their friends," Cloud replied, "I told them to be back before dark."
The young maiden knew what her companion was thinking, he was would to take her up on her earlier offer.
Cloud went over and embraced her one hand around her back and began to kiss her passionately. His action caught her by surprise but as quickly as she was surprised she gave in even faster. With his free hand he quickly began to undo her top. Tifa using all her willpower separated herself from him.
"Tifa what's wrong?" Cloud asked.
She smiled at him and replied, "There's something I have to tell you."
"Can't it wait?" The blond asked a little bit frustrated.
"I guess it could," Tifa sighed.
With that the master swordsman lifted her up holding her as she lay on his two hands, one of her hands made it's way around his neck.
"Let's see if you can lift me like this is a couple months," She whispered softly.
"Huh?" Cloud asked not hearing her statement.
"Nothing, come on, bedroom," She commanded.
One hour later two small children opened the door to the bar, Denzel immediately put his key back into his pocket when he finished opening it, once Marlene had entered he closed back the door.
"Why are we back so early?" Marlene asked "I was winning."
"Cloud told us to come back early," Denzel replied.
"No he said to come back before dark," Marlene stated.
"Still I don't think we should leave him alone, we should at least with for Tifa to come back before…" Denzel stopped as he heard a loud moan from upstairs.
"That was Tifa!" Marlene exclaimed.
"Let's go," Denzel commanded.
To two raced up the staircase, only to hear the same sound they heard before only slightly softer, it was mixed in with another moan a male one.
"That's Cloud's voice," Denzel said.
"What's going on?" Marlene asked.
The sounds were now beginning to get louder and more irregular.
"Come on Marlene they may be in trouble," Denzel said.
The two hurried down the corridor to the room at the end, on the way their as they made their way to Tifa's room they could hear Tifa's voice as if chanting Cloud's name with Cloud's doing the same to Tifa's name, without a second thought they quickly turned the doorknob and dashed into the room.
