Summary
The baby has his eyes and Sephiroth's hair and while that would normally send him into a destructive rage, this time he's standing in an honest-to-goodness nursery with not a single mako tank in sight. Cloud doesn't quite know what to feel about this, but it hardly matters. He'll be back to bouncing through dimensions in a few minutes anyway.
Should he have changed the kid's diaper? Probably not, but he's too tired to think and he wasn't about to leave his (sort of) own baby to cry.

Summary
For Cloud, that moment came when he looked into wine-red eyes he knew and loved, and saw a bleed of mako green surrounding the sharp line of a slit pupil.
Tsurugi fell from his numb hand. It would come when he called, later, but he couldn’t raise it against her. Not even for the sake of ending a Calamity. He’d overestimated his own strength, thinking that he could. He followed his sword to the ground a moment later.
