Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII, but I do own Sin. Well, enjoy the story!

/.../ Sin to Yuffie/
<...> Yuffie to Sin
//...// Chaos to Vincent
<<...>> Vincent to Chaos

//...Well?//

<<'Well' what?>>

//Aren't you going to say hello?//

<<...No. I should...distance myself from her.>>

//Why?//

<<...Never mind.>>

//Why, is the infamous Vincent Valentine afraid to love? Afraid to let go of his past...afraid to let go of...Lucricia?//

<<*growls*...Shut up.>>

//You'll never apoligize to her if you ignore her...//

<<...I am able to make my own disicions. I don't need you .>>

//But you certainly need Yuffie.//

<<...Be quiet! Here she comes!>>

"...Vincent?" Yuffie shuffled her feet, looking down at the floor, unable to look him in the eyes.

"...Yes?"

"I-I'm...sorry..." Yuffie quietly whispered.

"Sorry? For what?" Vincent asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well..." Yuffie struggled to find the words. "For everything. I...now know what it feels like to have a demon inside you. I know it may not be the easiest experience to deal with, but I'm sorry I judged you because of Chaos."

Vincent didn't know what to say.

/...Did you say Chaos?/

<Yes, why?>

/...He's the man I fell in love with./

"WHAT?!" Yuffie yelled aloud, unaware she had said it aloud.

"What?" Vincent asked, a confused look on his face.

"Oh, sorry for that! Sin was just saying something odd..."

/You know that isn't the truth./

<He doesn't have to know just yet.>

/*sigh*/

"Vincent...?"

"...Yes?"


"Do you...love...anyone?" Even Yuffie surprised herself by that unexpected question. Vincent's eyes widened.

"...No. I cannot."

"You...'cannot?' What do you mean?"

"I cannot love."

"But everyone has to love! I know..."

He was afraid she would say this. It reminded him of what Chaos said earlier.

"Why, is Vincent Valentine afraid to love?"

Why, is the infamous Vincent Valentine afraid to love?

"
Afraid to let go of his past?"

Afraid to let go of his past...

"Afraid to let go of...Lucricia?"

afraid to let go of...Lucricia?

"She would have wanted you to move on. You deserve to love again. She would have wanted you to see that..." Yuffie couldn't stop herself. It as like the spirit of Lucrecia was flowing through her.

"And how do you know all this?" Vincent bitterly asked.

"Because...she told me..."

"What?! How could she tell you...? She's DEAD!"

"I'm psychic."

"But..."

"Sin gave me the ability to have ESP. I can talk to the dead," Yuffie felt ackward telling Vincent this--this was the first time she had told a human--but it felt so...right.

/You should tell him...he deserves to know./

<I know...but don't you think he'll be mad at me?>

/Just tell him./

"Vinnie, I have something to tell you..."

"What is it, Yuffie?" he didn't know why but he wanted to know.

//I'll bet you ten bucks she's a prostitute.//

<<*glare* I'll bet you a thousand dollars she's not.>>

//You're on.//

/*sigh* Men./

//Huh? Who said that?//

/It's Sin./

//Sin?!//

/Just pay attention to Yuffie, Vincent. This is really hard for her to say./

<<Um...okay...?>>

"Well...what would you say if...you were going to have a...surprise?" Yuffie asked.

"What?"

I guess I'll just say it now... Yuffie thought.

"I'm pregnant, Vinnie."

"W-what...?"

"I'll say this again. We're going to have a baby."

"But...how? Was it that night..."

Yuffie put a finger to his lips and shushed him.

"Yes--but that doesn't matter," she sighed. "Do you want this baby?"

"..."

"Don't say this out of pity for me. I don't care. Just answer me honestly...do you want this baby?"

"...Yes. I...love you." And for the first time, Yuffie saw Vincent blush.

Almost immediately, Vincent cptured Yuffie's lips in a chase kiss--just a brush of lips against lips.

"I love you, too, Vincent Valentine," Yuffie whispered.


Hold on, this isn't the final chapter yet! Epilogue is next! ^__^
