Title: Kickback

Pairing: XalDem

Rating: T

Summery: Xaldin is a lumberjack and Demyx is his 'wife'. While on the job, Xaldin has an accident which leads to being in the hospital and getting a bit of good news.

A/N: This was inspired by the same picture as Release was. However, Release had nothing to do with this picture. This one does. In the picture, Xaldin actually is a lumberjack and Demyx is his 'wife'.

Xaldin poured his coffee as the sun peeked over the tree tops of the forest next to his home. His lover and 'wife', Demyx, was cooking breakfast. The brunette sat down as the blond sat a plate of delicious looking food in front of him. Demyx sat down across from him and behind eating quietly. Xaldin raised his brow. Normally the blond would be extremely talkative but today he wasn't even looking up.

"Are you sick?" Demyx jumped at his husband's sudden statement. He fumbled with his fork for a second then looked up.

"Not exactly. Um... Xaldin... I'm not really sure how to say this but I'm... Well, we're go-" The front door opened and Xigbar walked right in.

"Hey. Smells good in here." He walked into the kitchen and stole food off of Xaldin's plate. He leaned up against the counter, chewing on his stolen piece of bacon. "Almost ready to go? If we start early, we'll finish in time to get a couple beers."

"Actually, I wanted Xaldin home right after work. We have something to discuss."

"You're actin' real mature today, Dem." The blond blushed and continued to quietly eat. Xaldin made quick work of what was left of his meal and headed for the door. He pecked Demyx on the cheek on his way.

"Home right after work. Got it." The two brunettes jumped in Xigbar's old truck and drove to a lumber jack site. They grabbed their chainsaws out of the truck bed and headed to where their boss told them to cut.

"So, he wasn't talking at all?" Xigbar yelled over his chainsaw.

"Not until I confronted him about," Xaldin yelled back, "he was trying to tell me something when you barged in!" He pushed his chainsaw further into the wood and suddenly he lost control of it. It kicked back into his chest, causing him to scream in pain. He pulled it away and fell to the ground. Blood gushed from the wound. His vision became blurry. He felt hands on his body. He blacked out and next sound he heard was a siren blaring soon. He blacked out once more.

He slowly opened his eyes and a hospital came into view. He then became aware of a hand holding his. He looked over the slender sleeping form of his spouse. His face was tear stained. He squeezed the blond's hand and he stirred. He sleepily looked around and his eyes landed on Xaldin. He started bawling and hugged his husband, who yelped when a pain spread across his chest. Demyx sat back down with a sorry look on his face.

"X-xigbar called me. Said you'd b-been hurt and then came and got m-me," he sobbed, "I stayed w-with you as long as I-i could."

"Its okay now."

"X-xaldin. There's some I-i gotta tell you." The brunette took his lover's hand in his. "I'm pregnant." A look of shock washed over Xaldin's face. "I kept whispering it to you in hopes you'd pull through." Xaldin smirked and leaned over to kiss the top of Demyx's head. "I-i love you."

"I love you, too." Even though it hurt like hell, he took the blond, who was sobbing, into his arms. Xaldin had to stop himself from laughing.
