Cloud cleared his throat as he approached Seventh Heaven. The bright neon sign illuminated his crystal orbs as he took a moment to capture his breath. He acted selfishly, abandoning those who cared about him and his partner, but now decided to return after three years. The stoic male cleared his throat as his feet led the way into the Texan-style bar. Cloud was never great with his emotions. And he could only imagine how difficult the next few minutes would become. His arms stretched out, holding the door open, as his gaze shifted around the familiar place. Everything still looked exactly as he recalled. It brought a sense of nostalgia to him.

”Cloud?!” Tifa’s iconic voice called out as she approached the couple. Her face of joy was soon transformed into a look of confusion. Her gaze shifted upon the child hanging from off of your hip. “You guys are back. Who’s this?”

Cloud’s breath became hitched in his throat as the elephant in the room was immediately called to attention. “Our child. We...we..” The male was at a loss for words. It was an awkward situation, as Cloud felt guilt wash over him for keeping such a secret for so long.

Barret and Marlene stepped out into the main room. His eyes immediately expanded as he spotted the blonde male. “Well if it ain’t two grand!” The male’s deeper voice teased, before his own gaze fell upon the child.

Cloud had a lot of explaining to do.
