The lights. They were bright. So fucking bright. They hurt. His head, his arms, legs, chest. Somehow the light hurt it all. Talking. Was that… Cloud? Why couldn't he open his eyes? His lids were heavy. What happened?
He could barely put together a sentence. Tired. Sleep.
No, he couldn't. He needed….
Axel.
Sleep. Tired. Bed.
Axel.
Tired.

The family waiting room was loud, the bustling people crying for their loved ones. Most in here were kicked out of their relative's rooms due to the parlous conditions and Axel was worried his was very very severe. After calling his mother and telling her what floor, Axel sat down, eyes not leaving the trio of cops surrounding Cloud. The teen was very curious why they had yet to question him. The redhead hoped to fricking GOD that Cloud didn't decide to all the sudden stick up for his dad. But by the look in Clouds' eyes, Axel knew he was angry and that he was fed up with his father.
Minutes passed by and Axel found himself checking out other areas of the room. He noticed in the corner were a few dead pins from an evergreen. Axel guessed it was from Christmas. Feeling slightly grossed out at the fact that they were still there, he twitched.
He was worried. Roxas was in one of the rooms being examined. Either that or sleeping. If he was sleeping, he wished they would tell him so he could go back there and sleep with him. At least hold his hand and be there!
"You Axel?"
Axel jumped at hearing his name, eyes darting up to the cops. The number dwindled down to a pair and Axel tried to give them his nicest smile. One was male, very tall and muscular. His hair was cut into a buzz and looked like he had an anger problem. Axel made a mental note not to piss him off.
The other one looked a little more approachable. Female. She was pretty well off with her body and had short hair. She was smiling which made Axel feel a little better.
"Hey there, Son. I'm Officer Stabler and this is my partner Officer Benson." The male one, now Stabler, nodded over at the woman. Axel gave them his hand and smiled.
"N-nice to meet you." The three shook hands, trailing into a short silence.
"We just have a few questions for you Axel," Benson smiled and claimed the chair next to the redhead, "First of all, what is your relation to Roxas?"
Axel smiled, loving the feeling of being able to say he was Roxas' boyfriend. Being able to say that took his mind off the situation, even if only for a second. Sure he has been with him for a while, but it still made him feel good. Holding back his urge to break out in a grin and say 'I'm his baby-daddy' Axel just smiled, "I'm Roxas's uh... boyfriend."
"Hm… so Roxas is gay?"
Axel tilted his head, wondering why they are acting surprised. Didn't Cloud tell them all this?
"Yeah. Um a-actually, I mean this is going to confuse you, but he's uh… pregnant. I-I got him pregnant."
Stabler let out a cough, "Pregnant? But he's-"
"A Boy. Y-Yeah. He has this… thing. I don't really know all the info… but he was born with the ability to give birth."
"Would that be why this was done to him? Was his father-"
"Abusive. I'm pretty sure all his life. Roxas moved in with me to get away. Early today his dad called, sounding sincere I guess, asking me and Roxas to come for dinner. By the time we got through dinner, he had already had me at my edge and had Roxas grinding his teeth. When his dad told him he was gonna end up no where and that he should stay, Roxas said no and tried to leave. His dad didn't like that and before we could leave his father attacked him. Got 'im right in the fucking gut."
"Oh my God." Benson let her jaw drop. Stabler just crossed his arms.
"So you fight back, attack his dad."
"Of course."
"Why didn't you call 911, why attack the dad?"
Axel scoffed and straightened up, "Well, I did but at first I freaked! You can't tell me he even has the right to press charges."
"He could try."
"That's bullshit."
"Well, our job is to get as much information to help you put him behind bars." Benson smiled sweetly, trying to calm the young man down.
Axel sighed, "Well if he killed our babies he should get charged two counts of murder!"
"Two?"
"They were…. No they are twins."
Stabler grunted and signaled his partner to stand, "We may find you later for further questions. Chin up, kid. And next time… use protection."
Axel let out a small chuckle, "Will do, sir."

"Where's your dad right now?"
Cloud let out a small groan. It was two hours ago that they were both questioned. And they were both stuck in the waiting room. Aerith had joined them minutes after the cops left. The waiting room had slowly emptied out, leaving only the three in there. It was already well past midnight. Cloud was able to push himself into a semi slumber while Axel, on the other hand, could barely blink. Aerith, worried for both her son and Roxas, was keeping herself up with the abominable free coffee they had sitting out.
Cloud looked up at Aerith, not surprised to hear her speak. She had been trying to converse with the boys, possibly get them feeling better. Axel hadn't spoken a word since the cops left. The thoughts running through his head were along the lines of 'What the fuck is up.' They hadn't heard from a doctor or nurse in hours. Had they fucking forgot about them?!
"W-Well right now he's being held at the county jail for the night. After that I can only assume they're gonna set up a court date and hopefully send the fucker to jail…. Or something."
Axel sighed, surprising the two sitting next to him.
"Isn't he.. a lawyer or something? He'll know all the loop holes and-"
"Hun, don't be so negative!"
"I can't help it and god DAMMIT, WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?!"
Aerith jumped at the sudden outburst and looked around, a small blush tainting her face. The nurses that were there all jumped also, one running over to see what was wrong.
"Can I help you?"
Axel chuckled heartlessly and stood up, "Why, yes! Yes YOU CAN! We have been here for almost FIVE hours and not heard a WORD about how Roxas is doing! NOW, if someone doesn't tell me, I'm gonna find him and figure it OUT MYSELF!"
The nurse jumped back and flipped some papers in her clipboard, "R-Roxas, you said?"
Axel gritted his teeth, "YES… Rooxaaaass."
The nurse nodded, "O-ok. I am not his nurse… but it says here that he can have visitors. Someone should have told you-"
At hearing this Axel growled, "What? NO, NO ONE TOLD US! I'm sure the latest GOSSIP was more important to you IRRESPONSIBLE NURSES!"
The nurse jumped back, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
"R-room thirteen." With that she stumbled away, meeting the other nurses with a shocked expression.
Cloud stood up, pushing Axel to walk.
"Room thirteen, what are you waiting for!"
--
Alone. He felt alone. It was dark. The darkness made it easier to open his eyes. His lids were heavy but he forced them open.
What happened? Where was he? He looked around the room. It wasn't Axel's room and it wasn't his. His throat was dry and he coughed. Where was Axel?
"Axel? A-Axel!" Roxas let out hoarse shouts for his boyfriend. He was scared. The beeping and equipment next to him indicated he was in the hospital. What happened?
Why was he here? Did something happen with the babies? Babies.
Roxas jumped up and felt around his abdomen, feeling for a kick or movement. He couldn't tell. His hands were shaking. What was wrong with him? What happened? Why was he here?
Roxas started to feel dizzy. Laying his head back he felt tears prickle his eyes. Blinking them out he let out a shaky sigh. The same questions kept running through his head. He was cold and scared.
--
"Roxas?" Axel quickly darted to the boys bed. The blonde was asleep, his light snore filling the room. Axel had to fight the urge to wake him. It troubled him seeing the boy like this. He was asleep, yes, but his face had a look of pain. His eyebrows were knitted together and mouth clenched shut. The light coming from the hallway was reflecting off his wet cheeks.
"He's… been crying. In his sleep."
Cloud nodded and stepped in after Axel, "Nightmares, I bet."
Axel frowned and pulled a chair under him. One hand reached out for Roxas's while the other wiped the semi- dried tears off the blondes cheek.
The sudden warmth on his face startled Roxas awake. With a high-pitched whine, he shivered. Axel jumped but quickly regained his composure. He ran the back of his hand down the blondes cheek and cooed him.
"Shh, Rox. It's just me."
"A-Axel?" A groggy Roxas opened his blue eyes, staring directly into Axel's green.
"Yes, babe?"
"…What happened?"
Axel growled lowly, making Roxas jumped out of fright. The redhead quickly quieted himself and rubbed circles on the blondes cheek with his thumb. He slowly retold the night to Roxas, earning small gasps from the blonde.
"I… remember. Kind of. It's blurry."
Axel nodded and brought his head forward, burying it in his boyfriends neck.
"I was so worried." His voice was muffled by Roxas' neck, but the boy understood.
Roxas nuzzled his nose into Axel's red locks and breathed in his scent.
"I love you."
Axel lightly kissed the boys neck and pulled back, only enough so his eyes could meet the blondes.
"I love you too."
After a minute of quiet kisses and nuzzles, Cloud cleared his throat, making the two lovers broke apart. Cloud sat down on the other side of Roxas and began to explain what was going on with their father.
"So I need to explain what he did to me?" Roxas asked after his brother had finished explaining.
"Well, the cops are going to have to write it down in detail. Then they're going to need to take pictures of your scars, and recent bruises. Then, once a court date is decided, they will have you explain to a jury and judge what happened. Pretty much restating what you wrote down."
Roxas nodded and looked at Axel. Axel kept wanting to ask Roxas about the babies, but he guessed he didn't know or he would have said something.
And he was right, Roxas was sitting there, scared to mention it. The doctor had long ago disappeared during Roxas' slumber and Roxas knew nothing.
After a few minutes of silence, Cloud stood up, ruffling his brothers hair.
"Well, Roxas, I should head back ho-" Cloud stopped and crossed his arms, "Mom."
Roxas sighed and looked down, shrugging helplessly.
"I'm afraid to see what kind of state she's in."
Aerith, in a very odd state of silence, piped up, "Cloud, we have a guest bedroom and you're welcome to stay with us for a few nights until you go back to college."
Cloud smiled gratefully and nodded, "Thank you! That would be great."
Axel shrugged and looked over at his mom, "You guys head back, I'm gonna stay here for tonight. Cloud, I'm sure you can fight into a few of my things for sleep so help yourself."
Cloud smiled again, very unlike him, and walked towards Aerith, "Thanks man. You're not as bad as I thought."
With a small chuckled, him and Aerith left, leaving just the two teens.
Roxas scooted away from Axel and smirked, "You gonna join me in bed?"
Axel chuckled and climbed into the tiny hospital bed with the blonde. Once on his side, giving his boyfriend the most room, he wrapped his arm around him, letting it rest on his stomach. Before he could fully fall into slumber, he felt something nudge his hand.
With a gasp he sat up, making Roxas sit up as well.
"Did you feel-"
"Y-Yes… Yes! Axel they kicked!"
Axel beamed at Roxas and wrapped his arms around him in a tight embrace. Roxas hugged back, tears stinging on the corners of his eyes. They were alive.
It was all going to be ok.

I thought I would let you guys get this, no matter how short…. So I didn't get people eating off my head.
I've been going through a HUGE writers block with plots… Like all I can write is a fanfic that is based off the plot of a movie (My fic on my main page 'I'm with the Band'.. check it out) so there is really no plot stuff I have to do.
Do not be surprised if the next chapter is the last. Almost everything seems to be wrapped up. Just gotta figure out things with Roxas's dad and I guess Roxy has to have his kids.
:3
Sorry it's so short. Next chapter will probably be the last~ I'll try to make it good.
