Hey everyone. Wow that didn't take long did it? lol. Well done to Sheshi who guessed Cloud and Aeris' child correct.
But did anyone notice that at the end of The Lion King, Rafiki holds up a boy cub. Yet in the Lion King 2, Simba has a daughter? Strange. Anyways, on with the story.

Prologue
The city of Midgar stood proudly under the peaceful night sky. Even in the dark, you could make out the turrets of the Palace where King Cloud and his wife Aeris lived along with their mothers and Cloud's sister, the Princess Yuffie. There were still a few people in the fields, collecting the harvest before the harsh winter came. It was only as the sun began to rise that a trumpet sound came from the Castle, causing everyone in the fields to stop what they were doing. Suddenly, a large red wolf creature leapt from a nearby cliff and raced across the flowery grasslands and into the city, racing towards the Castle where the rising sun was starting to peek over the turrets. It didn't take long for the people of the city to follow suit and soon the Entrance Hall was packed with spectators. A raven-haired man walked forward, bowing to the Royal family.
"Good Morning Vincent." The King replied to his advisor. The wolf creature made its way to the opposite side of the room and it bowed to the King.
"Hello Nanaki." Cloud greeted, hugging the creature. Nanaki turned to Aeris with a smile, catching Yuffie, Tifa and Ilfana's proud faces. Aeris lifted the blankets a tiny bit and Nanaki peered inside. He smiled.
"Ah, a beautiful child I see." He praised. Cloud and Aeris smiled at each other, the happiness shining in their eyes. Nanaki took the child and placed it in a basket on a pedestal. He lighted the candles around the bottom with his tail.
"May you grow with wisdom and strength and lead us to glory and wealth, little Princess."
A robotic moogle ran forward and picked the baby up, holdingher high in the air.
"Kneel before your future Queen." Nanaki commanded. In an instant, everyone was on their knees, bowing to the new heir to the throne. Cloud walked forward with a bowl of water. The creature dipped his paw in it and placed it on the Princess' head.
"You are blessed by the Cetra now. Welcome to the Circle of Life." The hall erupted in cheers as Nanaki handed the baby back to Aeris. Cloud had an arm around her shoulder as he cooed to his daughter. Nanaki smiled slightly.
"A Princess will give the Kingdom hope for the future." He mused to himself, unheard over the huge cheers and applause. "But this also could lead to trouble with the rebels."
"Hey Nanaki, what's wrong?" Yuffie asked, kneeling in front of him. The creature shook his head.
"Nothing. I was just thinking." He replied. Yuffie gave him a strange look before she stood up.
"Okay." She said half-heartedly before walking to her lover, Reno. Everyone was so caught up in the celebrations that they did not see two children, a boy and a girl, peering through the doors. They looked at each other and the boy nodded slightly.
"We have to tell mother." He stated. The girl didn't say any words as she turned and ran away, the boy close behind.
