"Every think of having kids?"

She stared up at him, she was currently sitting on his lap with his arms encircling her, the two were watching the sunrise, something they both loved. It brought a sense of peace from the battles Zack faces daily, and the hard times Aerith had spent running, it meant to the two they had lived to fight another day, meant they had cheated death just once more.

"Kids?" She questioned, kids? Of course she had thought of kids, she loved the idea of being a mother, it made her smile at the thought of holding something part her and part of the man she loved. "Of course I have, what brought this on?"

He was silence as he stared at the beautiful sunrise, he was leaving for who knows how long today, he had this gut feeling that made him worry, like something was bound to happen. He just hoped he was worrying for nothing, glancing down at her confused face; he gave her his goofy grin, loving her light laughter. "Well, it's just...This mission is going to take so long, it was just a thought..."

She hugged him tightly, wordlessly understanding, they hadn't a clue of how long he'd be gone, she was trying to be strong for him, not show her worry. But there was a feeling of unease about this mission, the planet had been telling her something was to change, but for better or worse?
She understood though, she couldn't blame him for thinking of something they both knew would be impossible, she couldn't have them because Shinra wanted her, it wasn't a safe environment for a child, Zack couldn't because of SOLDIER, what if he died? They both wanted children, but the circumstances weren't right, probably never would be.

"How long until you leave?" She wanted to know how long she got to hold him, just to be with him for a little while, before Shinra took him away again, she had never hated something per say, but she didn't like Shinra to say the least, who did? But she had a pretty good reason; they were taking him away, taking him from her, for who knows how long.

"A couple of hours," he could afford to be late, he'd rather be with Aerith any day, funny how his dream was to always be SOLDIER, now his dream was to stay with Aerith, god his priority's changed. He just didn't know how (if) you could quit Shinra, he had the feeling you couldn't, although Shinra brought him to her, his love. Placing a kiss to the top of her head, he hugged her a little tighter, he really didn't want to leave this comfort, but unfortunately he hadn't much of a choice.

She would miss him, terribly she knew, she always missed him when he left, it wasn't far but she really couldn't complain much. She grabbed his head and pulled him into a kiss, wanting to remember and treasure this moment until he came home, home to her.

He readily kissed her back, hating how he would miss her sweet kisses, her beautiful sea green eyes that held so much love it astounded him, pulling back before things could get too heated he had to constantly remember not to take advantage of her. She bit her lip and he felt the urge to kiss her again, closing his eyes to try and dissuade himself from doing things to her
that her mother would kill him for.

She was debating with herself, she wanted something to hold onto on long cold nights without him, she hadn't a clue if he would come back, the thought that this could be there last embraced influenced her, "Zack..." she whispered sweetly, bending towards his ear she whispered three words which started a chain of events he couldn't have stopped to save his life.

"Take me, please..."
