The faintest cries could be heard. Enough to wake up Zexion. Surprisingly. The thunder, lightning, and rain didn't wake him up first. He could hardl hear the cries, but he could. SHaking his sleeping mate next to him, Demyx rose from his spot. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"What is it Zexy?" He asked. Not really wanting to be awake right now. "I think Zemyx is up." Zexion said.
Demyx fell back and put his hand on his face. He groaned. "Why's he up and crying?" He asked with a groan.
"Stop complaining. He's our son." Zexion said, rising from their bed, and walking down the hall to their sons room, Demyx following.
The crying was much louder now. It was clearly coming from Zemyx. Who may have been scared from the thunder, lightning or just the loud sound of rain. He was 5 months old, but like any baby, he cried a lot. Either only Demyx or Zexion could calm him down. Mainly since they were his parents, but also because everyone else scared him. Zexion lifted the small child from the crib and held him. He held him with Zemyx's head was resting on his shoulder. Slowly rubbing his back, he tried to calm the crying baby.
"It's okay, calm down. Mother's here. Zexion said, trying to cease the crying.
Thunder crashed through the night, and it was loud. Making Zemyx cry more, and cling more.
"Baby please calm down." Demyx said, running hand through Zemyx's hair. The baby kept on crying. Zexion sighed. "He won't sleep until th storm stops..." He said, hoping the storm would stop soon. He wanted his son to sleep it wasn;t good for him to be up and crying. "I've got an idea." Demyx said, taking Zemyx from his Mother, and carrying him out of the room. Zexion followed.
Going downstairs and into the kitchen, Zexion wondered what he was doing. "What are you doing?" Zexion asked. Demyx got a cloth from a drawr and wet it with some water. He knew Zemyx liked water. So it was worth a try. Demyx wrapped the wet cloth around Zemyx's hands. Looking down to the cloth on his hands, Zemyx let out a few wimpers, but...he stopped crying. Zexion was amazed. "...Wow." Zexion said. He took his son back and rubbed his back. Lightly singing a song to get Zemyx back to sleep. Within a minute, Zemyx was sound asleep. Demyx kissed his son's cheek and took the cloth from his hands. Setting it aside.
Zexion took one of the damp hands and kissed it. Holding his son close. Demyx saw his boyfriend being so gentle with a baby. He knew Zexion was more capable then he lead onto be. He walked back over to Zexion and lifted his chin, giving him a passionate kiss on the lips. Zexion smiled and kissed Demyx's cheek.
"So what now? We put Zem back in his room, he'll only start crying again." Zexion said, starting to rock the baby in his arms. Demyx thought for a moment. What could they do? They could put their son back in his room, he would cry. Or, an idea struck him.
"We could keep him in our room for the night. See how it goes." Demyx suggested. Zemyx rarely slept with them, only when he would have trouble sleeping on his own.
"Sure."Zexion said . They returned to their room, and positioned a pillow to lay vertical in the middle of them. Placing the infant on it, and covering him up, they climbed back in bed. Zexion kissed Zemyx's left cheek, and Demyx his right. As the family of 3 slept, the storm let up. And in the morning, only Demyx and Zemyx were up. Demyx carried Zemyx to the window and pointed out. "Look Zem. A rainbow." He smiled. Zemyx clapped his hands and giggled. Demyx laughed and put a finger to his mouth. "Shhh we don't wanna wake up Mommy now. Just let him sleep." Demyx said, before walking over to Zexion, who still lay asleep. Leaning down, Zemyx knew what to do. He gave a baby kiss to his Mother and giggled. The crying infant they knew the night before, was now happy and awake. Just the way it should be.
