Chapter 10: Denial and Acceptance
Big watery blue orbs stared disbelievingly into a set of
equally unbelieving Mako green spheres. Cloud scooted
away from his partner, away from the hands that touched
his stomach, as the words Sephiroth spoke to him mere minutes ago
chanted in his head as a funeral dirge.
… you’re carrying my child… my child… you’re
carrying my child…
The words were ringing loudly in his sensitive ears, spinning round and round his head, making him feel extremely ill.
“How? I—I mean….I’m a guy,” he sobbed, his confusion and fear plain to see.
“I think, Cloud, that maybe you
should go and have a talk with Professor Gast. At least you’ll be able to get some straight answers from him. Also, I have a feeling that this is why Hojo wanted you on medic
detail,” Sephiroth replied.
Cloud couldn’t think. This was not happening to him. He was
only eighteen, and was being told by Sephiroth that he
was pregnant. But he couldn’t be, it just wasn’t
possible, his body wasn’t designed to carry babies—only to make them.
Besides, he didn’t know the first thing about caring for a child.
“What….What are we going to do?” he
asked, looking to his older lover for advice.
The eyes that Sephiroth turned on him were cold and empty.
“We?”
Cloud felt himself heaving. He
needed air. He needed space.
He had to go.
Cloud desperately needed to put some distance between himself and Sephiroth.
How could his lover be acting so cold and clinical about this? As
if this whole debacle was his fault.
Because he’s not the
one knocked-up… you are, a snide little voice piped up in his head.
Standing quickly, Cloud grabbed his clothes from off the floor and dashed into the bathroom. As fast as he could, he
got himself dressed and raced out of
their quarters, heedless of the half-hearted call of Sephiroth behind him. He just ran blindly from the room, nearly running over
an unsuspecting Zack in the process.
oOoOoOo
The lights around Shin-Ra’s military facility illuminated
the night with its soft glowing radiance, making the world assume a mantle of peace and calm, but it wasn’t for him. The perfect picture of tranquility
was an illusion. His life would always be plagued with self-doubt and sorrow.
Cloud leant on the roof’s railing lost in thought, his troubled head lowered on his folded arms. His
blond spiky hair swayed in the breeze from the
high attitude, the cold wind seeming to clear his mind—taking away some of his heavy burdens.
So, the symptoms he’d been
having for the past couple of months weren’t from some flu virus, like he had
thought. In actuality, they were the signs of him
being with child. Sephiroth’s child. Tears
welled up in his eyes once more as realization slowly
sank in.
The early morning vomiting…
the weird food cravings… the terrifying dizzy spells… the worrying
loss of weight… and the desperate need to
sleep all the time. All that, and more, pointed so
obviously to him being pregnant…. Something
that, if he had been a woman, he would know.
Oh, god! What does he
think of me now? Cloud thought shamefully.
Of course, there’s no way he’ll want to continue our relationship. The
great Sephiroth, not only declaring to the world that he is to be a father, but
also, that the ‘mother’ of his child is none other than his male lover? His eighteen year old male lover.
NEVER! Sephiroth would never admit publicly to having
taken a man as his partner, a man who had the capability of bearing his
off-spring.
Cloud would find himself discarded,
tossed aside and forgotten about. The odds were
already against them, and he knew Sephiroth would want to take the baby away
from him, to keep his secret private. He felt as if his heart was breaking. Loud sobs racked his thin frame, as he gave
in to the grief sweeping through him.
So lost in his own depression was he, he was at first unaware
of the strong arms wrapping around his shaking, cold body. It wasn’t until an
ungloved hand eased down to the small bump of his stomach, that Cloud realized he was wrapped tenderly within the warm
embrace of his child’s father.
“Please….Please don’t touch it,” Cloud begged, his tears spilling freely down his face. He didn’t want Sephitoth
laying his hands on him….being gentle with him before declaring they were
over. The
clear wet trail of his misery flowed down across his
cheeks, and he hitched his breath, as he tried
his best to show the General that he wasn’t weak. However, knowing Sephiroth
was about to throw him away with the trash was enough to keep his tears pouring.
But Sephiroth continued rubbing soothing circles on his
young partner’s belly.
Cloud’s shoulders shook, as he turned into Sephiroth’s bare
chest, seeking comfort from him, if only for a
little while. He waited, fighting to hold back the
tears, waiting to hear the words that the silver haired man would tell
him that their relationship was over—that he
didn’t want to have anything else to do with him or this, thing, which had managed to take up residence within his body—that he didn’t want it ruining his life.
The boy’s silent crying pulled the General from his own thoughts. His hands pressing tightly against Cloud’s back, Sephiroth
whispered softly in his ear.
“Cloud, don’t cry. Please don’t cry. I love you…….Why are you crying?”
Cloud’s damp face looked up
incredulously into Sephiroth’s, although a small portion of doubt still filled
the blonde’s heart. “You love me? You, you mean…..You’re not leaving me,
because of the baby?”
Sephiroth gave a relieved laugh. So
that was what had been bothering the boy? He embraced him
tightly again, bestowing gentle kisses all over his young lovers upturned face.
“No, I’m not leaving you. I
meant what I said at the start of our relationship—I plan on keeping you, no
matter what. Yes, I admit, I was upset with you earlier, but only
because I thought you were withholding the
information that you could bear children from
me.”
“But Sephiroth, I didn’t know I could get… like this.” Cloud
couldn’t bring himself to say the p-word.
“I know that…. now. And to be
perfectly honest, Cloud, I didn’t want any kids—not after finding out about my
own sordid past. But Zack told me something to change
all that…”
Forty-five minutes
earlier…
“WHOA! Dude, you’re my
best friend and all, but I do not
want to see you naked,” Zack exclaimed to Sephiroth,
entering the room after Cloud had ran
past him.
Sephiroth didn’t say anything. He merely went into the bathroom, moving on auto-pilot
as he went to clean himself up, before returning to find
out what Zack wanted. His mind was still focused on other things, and his friend quickly picked up on it.
Never before have Zack
seen Sephiroth so disjointed.
“Hey, man, are you all
right? You’re looking kind of pale. What happened between you two?” Zack asked.
He didn’t really want to get involved in his
friend’s private life, but he also wasn’t going to stand by idly while one hurt the other, not if he could help. He knew they were just so right together.
“Seph?”
“Cloud is having a baby,” came the
blunt response.
“WHAT?” Zack barely
got out. “You
mean….Cloud’s got some girl pregnant? He’s cheated on you?” He was feeling numb, as if someone had punched him in the
stomach. He couldn’t believe that about the boy. He had seemed so devoted to
Sephiroth.
“No, Zack. I mean, CLOUD is pregnant. He’s
carrying my child,” Sephiroth explained.
“But, but…..You mean to tell
me, that Cloud’s one of those rare men you hear
about? The one’s who can have babies? He knew this, and yet he still went and had
sex with you?
“He didn’t know. And….. I attacked
him.” Sephiroth turned
his back, afraid to look at the other man as he finished his sentence. “And
I let him run off alone, because I don’t know how to
handle the situation,” he admitted.
“You did what?” Zack grounded
out, pearly white teeth grinding against each other, making an awful noise.
“You attacked him? Why?”
Feeling more of a
bastard, Sephiroth ran trembling fingers through
the front of his silver mane. “I thought he knew he could get pregnant, I thought he brought it upon himself. Fuck, Zack…..” he
snarled, spinning round to face his friend. ”This is as much a shock to me as
it is to him.”
“And you’ve just let him run off? You don’t give a damn about
him, do you? Do you actually have a heart? Do you feel anything for him?
Or was Cloud just another conquest for the great and powerful Sephiroth?”
“That was low, even for you,
Zack. Of course I give a damn. You of all people
must know how much the boy means to me,” Sephiroth shouted back. “But….but what
if….” He turned away again, the indecision and uncertainly he felt inside
tearing him apart.
“What if….. he doesn’t want me in
his life any more?” he finally whispered.
Furious, Zack snapped at him..
“Well, Sephiroth, did you bother to fucking ask him?” When the 1st Class SOLDIER used
his full name, Sephiroth knew Zack was definitely pissed.
“He’s eighteen for
Christ sake! You’re his first lover. You’d better fix this! And now—I don’t
care what you do, or how you do it, but you’ve got to go and reassure Cloud
that everything will be alright,” Zack fumed.
“Because,
if you don’t, so help me, I’ll kick your fucking
ass myself!”
Sephiroth bristled at
the threat. “Alright? How the hell can I
tell him everything is going to be alright? He’s carrying a child, my child. Do
you even begin to understand the dangers of that? I can’t go to him and say everything is going
to be peaches and cream…It’s not!” He shrugged his shoulders, feigning indifference.
“Still, it’s not my problem….He has to decide what’s he going
to do about it, whether he wants to keep it, or not.”
The General was not
prepared for the gloved fist that connected with his jaw, causing him to stumble backwards in surprise.
“What the hell was
that for?” Sephiroth shot back, after sliding his dislocated jaw back in place.
“I know you’ve got
some emotional issues, Sephiroth, but you’d better
start thinking for a minute…” Zack ordered him, rubbing his bruised knuckles.
“Cloud may be pregnant, but he didn’t impregnate
himself—you did that! Furthermore, I know you
didn’t want to have kids… but Seph, you can’t allow your fears to keep you from
having the family you’ve always longed for. And Cloud makes you happy—I see it in your eyes—the ways that they shine. This
is the first time in a long while, since Sara’s death, that you opened up to
dating anyone.”
Sephiroth dropped into
a chair, mental exhaustion finally catching up to him.
“But what if Cloud
dies giving birth, Zack? I can’t lose him. I love him so much. And the fact that he’s pregnant, Zack,
scares me to death. There is nothing I
would want more in this world, than to have both Cloud and my child, safe and
well…but what are the chances of that happening?”
He rubbed his eyes with a tired hand. “I am so afraid. I want to protect him, and if that
means him aborting…. then so be it.”
“Stop it, Seph.”
Taking a good look at
his friend, Zack noticed that Sephiroth’s body was tense. “I’m here for you, and Cloud. You guys are the closest thing I have. You’re like brothers
to me, and there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for either of you. So, from one
brother to another, please, you have got to
take this chance, because you might not ever be able
to get it again.”
Of course, Zack was
right, Sephiroth reasoned with himself. He was running from the unknown, and
his fear of being left alone with a baby, made
him feel like he was way in over his head—and he didn’t know how to handle it.
Sephiroth knew he was equally to blame for Cloud’s condition. However, he also knew he had no right whatsoever to demand
Cloud get an abortion. The only thing he could do was support Cloud in whatever choice he made. After all, it
should ultimately be his lover’s decision to either keep, or get rid of their
child.
Pulling his head out
of his ass, Sephiroth pushed himself out of the chair
and headed towards the door with Zack right
behind him grinning from ear-to-ear.
“Cloud should be on
the roof—he usually goes there when he wants to be alone,” the 1st
class SOILDIER said, relieved that things were going to be fine between his two
friends. “Oh, and uh, Aerith has invited all of us all to dinner tomorrow
night. Look forward to seeing you both there.”
They parted ways when
the elevator doors opened. Sephiroth stepped inside.
“Thank-you Zack,” he said wholeheartedly.
“You’re welcome…….Good luck!”
Present time on the
roof
Sephiroth knew he had a responsibility
not let Cloud face this alone. He trembled as he held
his young lover in his tight embrace.
“You’re scared too?” Cloud timidly asked,
his tears long since dried up.
“Yes, Cloud. I’m scared. I’m scared
that I‘ll lose you the same way that I lost my
mother. But I understand that this is something I must deal with,” Sephiroth
answered.
Cupping his lover’s face in his small hands, Cloud pulled
Sephiroth down to him—kissing him affectionately on the lips, letting his tongue break through into Sephiroth’s mouth,
sliding his arms around his powerful lover’s shoulders, taking comfort in the way
the kiss was returned.
Pulling back slightly, Cloud said, “I can’t promise you that
I will be around
forever, Sephiroth, that I’ll never die. But I can promise you, that I will
love you with all my heart until that time comes. And as for this…” Cloud patted
his not so flat stomach, finally accepting what
they had created together. “If this is something you don’t want….. Then, then I’ll get an abortion.”
He couldn’t afford to let himself
get attached to the baby, not yet, just in case Sephiroth didn’t want it.
“No, Cloud. This isn’t about me and what I want,” Sephiroth said gently, lowering his head to nestle it into
the boy’s neck—inhaling Cloud’s unique scent of
sweet vanilla.
“The question is….do you want to keep the baby? No matter what
your decision, I will respect it.”
“I… I think we should talk with Professor Gast first and
hear what he says.” Cloud replied, feeling the heat
from Sephiroth’s breath upon his neck, exciting him. He turned into his lovers embrace again,
thrusting his hips forward meekly.
“Then we can make a decision…. together,” he whispered huskily, turning
his face upwards.
Sephiroth openly smiled at his lover, before capturing his
lips again in a breathtaking kiss.
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: Was that mean of Sephiroth to treat Cloud that way? If
it hadn’t been for Zack I truly believe that he would have told Cloud to get
lost. What’s next for our couple? Don’t know? Well, to find out stay tuned for
the next chapter.

“Alright, Gast, what the fuck is going? And don’t tell me nothing. I already got that shit from Rufus.”
“Sephiroth, the only explanation I can deduct based on the
information Cloud has giving me, is that prior to the injections, his
reproductive system had in fact, been asleep.”
