Zack looked up in surprise as the door of the little house slammed open with enough force that it stayed stuck in the wall, instinctively reaching for his sword to put five feet of gleaming metal between him and the source of the disturbance; in this case a certain redheaded ex-SOLDIER, who was looking even more out of control than he'd been when he'd been actively trying to drag both Shinra and the world down with him. He barely had time to register the sight, and none to react, before he found himself slammed up against the far wall, a red-gloved hand at his throat, feet a few inches above the floor, and the Buster Sword fallen from his hand much too far away to be of any help. Not that the huge blade was any good for close combat, but it would have made him feel a bit better!

"You unbelievable bastard!" Genesis hissed even as he tightened his grip slightly, his anger so obvious he was almost frothing. "You unbelievable bastard! How could you do that to me! How dare you do that to me! Is that what you call honor? Well? Is it!?"

"G-Genesis?" Zack somehow managed to croak, both hands reaching up to pry at that ever-tightening grip at his throat. "What're you talking about-?"

"You, you... argh!" The wide palette of words that were usually at his command seemed to have fled his anger and the furious redhead found himself without words for one of the first times in his life. "You know I've been feeling a bit... off... lately."

Of course he had noticed.

They had been living together in a small house on the outskirts of Mideel since their escape from the ruins of Banora almost two months before. The house was small; the downstairs one big open space that was mostly parlor, with a small kitchen-area off in one corner. The upstairs had three small bedrooms, each barely larger than the quarters given to new Thirds back at Shinra; that was to say, barely large enough to fit a small bed and wardrobe. Also upstairs was the tiny bathroom, the same size as the other rooms. Right then the third bedroom stood empty, since Cloud was staying at the clinic as they tried to deal with his Mako poisoning, but once they decided he was well enough that room would be his.

All of which was beside the point, that being that the house was quite small and it was kind of hard not to notice when your only housemate dashes past your door to the bathroom every morning for the last week or so to be violently ill.

"Yeah, so?"

Enraged blue eyes promised a long, drawn-out death. "So I went down to the clinic this morning."

Now Zack knew it was serious. He knew that Genesis loathed doctors in any form, and who could blame him? Even he’d had more than enough of them and he’d only been a guinea pig for five years. He could only imagine how much worse it must be for Genesis, who’d had to put up with it his whole life. The mere fact that he'd felt bad enough to actually go to the clinic to get checked out spoke volumes. "And?"

"And they found proof that you are one despicable, unbelievable, outright bastard! The only time you could have done it was in Banora after I spoke with the Goddess! So what do you have to say for yourself? Well? Explain to me how you could go on and on about honor and yet do this!"

"Do what!?"

"I'm pregnant! Pregnant! And the only time you could have done it was when I was unconscious! So tell me, where's the honor in that!?"

"You're what!?" Zack almost-yelped, eyes wide in shock. Then the rest of Genesis' rant sank in and he glared. "Hey, don't blame me! I would never-! I mean, I guess you're cute enough, but-! While you were unconscious? That's sick!"

"It had to be you! They said I'm about five or six weeks pregnant. That puts me under Banora, and the only person with me there was you!"

"Well, it wasn't me! Maybe their dates are off, because I didn't do it! I'm sorry, but people who are trying to kill me and my friends do not turn me on!"

"Stop lying! It had to be you! I was never with anyone else!"

"So what about before that-"

"I was never with anyone!"

Zack had just opened his mouth to reply when what the other man was saying sunk in. Oh, that couldn't be right. "You... You've never... You're a virgin?" Okay, that had sounded a lot smoother in his head, but even so.

Genesis glared, even as his cheeks pinked up in embarrassment. "Well, I was before someone decided to get me pregnant while I was unconscious!"

"Oh for-! I never touched you! Well, I touched you, but that was only in a completely platonic, have-to-carry-your-unconscious-body-away-from-there sort of touch! All clothes on at all times! There wasn't even any groping, for Gaia's sake, let alone anything more!"

"Then how did I end up pregnant!?"

"Hey, you're the one who talked to a Goddess. Maybe you should ask her!"

Blue eyes narrowed. "Don't talk about her that way!" he growled. "She was beautiful, and she gave me her Gift-" he stopped abruptly, eyes widening as realization set in. He was barely aware of Zack falling to the floor, coughing and rubbing his sore throat, as his hand seemed to abruptly lose the strength needed to keep him pinned. "...No. Her Gift. This is her Gift? I thought it was power, strength!"

Zack might have been a bit distracted by his new ability to draw in full breaths, but he wasn't that far out of it. "Wait," he said. "You got knocked up by a goddess? You, a guy, got knocked up by a goddess, a girl, and you're still a virgin? That's just messed up."

"Oh, shut up."
