What Child is This?
by Ivy

Four months after Cloud had proposed to Tifa they were living happily in a small house just outside of Midgar. Cloud now smiled all the time, and Tifa was happier then ever. But nothing made them happier then when they found out that Tifa was pregnant!

They were so excited they called all thier friends and told them.

The baby was expected to arrive in June so they planned to have a baby shower in May!

When May arrived they called all their friends and told them to came to the shower,tomorow . With the exception of Cait Sith who was away at a business trip with the Shinra. (who was now run by Reeve who put an end to the Mako reacters) !

The next morning Tifa woke up early to make snacks and dinner for their geust ,however Cloud awoke and told her to lye down and keep her rest the thought of it was nice,but she knew the last time he was in the kitchen he put eggs in the microwave and the whole thing exploded,she was still finding peices of egg everywere!So she got up and and started making snacks and put the dinner on!

When Cloud finally got she was just putting in the roast, you think that will be enough ? ''she asked'' Cloud shook the his head yes in repley,she smiled and then went to rest for awhile about 3 o'clock people stated to arrive. Cloud went to the door to greet his first geust, it was Barret and Marlene. Before Cloud had time to say hi, Barret was already yellin at him "Congrat's man I always woundered when U'd start a family "! All Cloud could say was,"Ah yeah ". Then he turned his attention to Marlene who was staring at him !

He picked her up and invited them in! Once inside Barret made himself at home and Marlene stayed close behind Cloud.When Tifa came down Marlene turned her attention to her and ran and jumped into her open arms! Tifa returned her greeting with a tight hug.Before Tifa had time to put her down Barret was already complamenting on the food and how Tifa looked! Tifa said hi then went to see what Cloud was up to.Cloud was at the door waiting for the others,when Tifa reached the end of the hall Cloud was already letting Red XIII & Yuffie in!They both greeted him with smiles and hello's, when they saw Tifa they did't know what to say. So Tifa just said hi and make yourself at home,Red & Yuffie both relaxed and headed to the living room.

The next people to arrive was Cid and Sherra . This time Tifa answered the door they both said hi and Cid said added on "Damn it's about time you guys had rug- rats" Tifa repleyed by sayin just be like havin you around when your drunk ,you know have to wipe your drewl off your face ,clean up after you, and spoon feed you. Cid was about to coment on that then said nothin,Sherra on the hand was as silent as could be,she just said hi then went and sat on the couch in the livin room.

Another hour past and no sign of Vincent yet, just as Tifa turned and headed to the kitchen there was a loud banging on the door she opened it and there was Vince she then welcomed him in and for once seen him smile!(Shocking)

Tifa then went to the living room herself to catch up with all her friends everyone congratulaed Tifa & Cloud then carried on with there conversations.After about 2 hours of chattin she then went into the kitchen and set the table.She then called everyone in to eat.

As they ate Cid of all people started up a conversation on how he and Sherra are gettin married this fall,even more shocking news is that Sherra was pregnant herself.Everyone was silent for a moment then they congratualed them and continuied on with super.

After super Tifa & Cloud went to the livin room to open gifts. Barret had got them a baby moniter along with a sleeper that said AVALANCHE on it. Red had got a them a baby basket and pasaphire.Yuffie had bought a baby stroller and baby bottle. Vincent had brought a baby crib.Cid and Sherra bought them a baby swing that was in the shape of a plane (that was from Cid) and a toy that sang a lu-a-by.

After opening the gifts it was then time to say good night to their company, Cid offered them all rides home in the Highwind,they all accepted and then said bye.Then as night approched Cloud & Tifa sat down to and looked at all the gifts"That was a nice visit" Tifa said, Cloud nodded in repley. "Well we'll worry about this mess in the morning till then lets go to bed.

In the morning when Tifa awoke Cloud was already up and cleaning,by the time she was up he was finished.Then Cloud asked where to put all the furniture they recieved. Tifa then directed him how to arrange the stuff.After that they went to the kitchen and ate breakfast.

*1 Month Later*

It was June 14 and Tifa had gone into the Midgar hospital Cloud was outside the room paceing back and forth waiting patiantly .When Barret arrived he was just as impatiant as Cloud.About 2 hours later the doctor came out and told Cloud he could go in.Inside the room on a bed in the center was Tifa holding a small figure rapped up in an blue blanket (Blue indecating a boy). She then offered the child to Cloud . Cloud picked him up and stared at him, his eyes barly open he could see that they were a dark blue, he could also see that he had blond hair "like his daddy" Tifa said as if she had read is mind. What did you name he asked in a voice a little louder then a whisper.

Tifa answered "Zell".

When Cloud walked out Barret rushed him and started asking questions.Cloud gladly answered all of them.

About 2 weeks after the little Zell was born he was aloud to go home for the fist time.Once arrived Cloud and Tifa were tired and hungry. So they put Zell in his new crib and went down stairs to eat.After thier meal they said good-night to him and went to bed thereselves. They we're so tired they did't wake up when up to sound of a theif that had took the liberty of robbing there house. Along with the valuables he also took Zell who still had his name bracelet on and was wearing his AVALANCHE sleeper.

He then left while leaving a note sayin thanx for everything. When Cloud and Tifa woke up they were both in shock and tears for Zell was missing all the other stuff did't matter anymore they only wanted Zell back.They set up search parties and searched for weeks without any sign of the baby or the theif.

While the theif was well away from there home he then went to one of his insane friends and offered him the child for a price . The insane man gladly took the child(The guy of course had been a sciencetist) . He is to be in my next experiment (Freezing so that in the future he could awake and live in a new time). Within the next 24 hours Zell was froze.The Doc. bein old and everything had programed the machine to open in 100 years witch then someone would be there to recieve the baby.

Within 100 years the capsile had opened and an asigned SOLDIER or whatever it was called then was there to collect the baby.The SOLDIER (or whatever) had nothin to do with it so they send him up for adoption.The people who adopted him were named Dinch seein his name tag, they liked his name so from then on he was known as Zell Dinch,They pick a new birth date for him also they made sure that he would never know that he was adopted. Zell (when he was older) took on the traits of his mother (Tifa) and became a martial artist.
