As they arrived at the door to Vexen's lab, Marluxia stopped and knocked. He wasn't surprised that the scientist took so long to answer the door. When he answered, he glanced from Marluxia to Zexion.

"What exactly happened, Zexion?" He asked the schemer standing beside the flower wielder.

"Saix raped me…" He answered looking to the floor, not wanting to be there.

"Why?" Vexen asked sighing. "Did you provoke him somehow?"

"Not that I know of."

"I see. Come in." Vexen said moving to the side, letting Marluxia and Zexion in, then closing the door. "Follow me, Zexion."

Zexion followed Marluxia into a separate room leaving Marluxia to himself.

Marluxia watched Zexion leave with Vexen then decided to sit on a chair and read a little. He picked up the closest book, which coincidently was about gardening. He read some pages then put the book back down.

Zexion came back two hours later and smiled at Marluxia. "I'm back."

Marluxia smiled back. "I see that. Well, how'd it go?"

Zexion sighed. "I'm five months along and the baby is as healthy as ever. Vexen also gave me vitamins of some sort…" He finished holding up a bottle with small pills in it.

"I'm surprised that nothing happened to it. Did you find out the gender yet?"

Zexion nodded. "It's a boy."

Marluxia gave Zexion a small kiss. "Now we just need to think of a name."

"True."

Marluxia tilted his head. "What are we going to do about Saix, though?"

Zexion laughed. "The only thing we can do is inform the Superior and go from there."

Marluxia looked into the other's eyes. "Are you ready to tell him?"

Zexion nodded slowly. "Yeah, I think so."

Marluxia and Zexion looked up to see Vexen by the door. He walked over to the others and glanced at Marluxia. "I made some appointments for Zexion to see me. Make sure he makes it to them." He said giving Marluxia a piece of paper. "All of them." He finished backing up.

Marluxia looked at he paper. "Okay, I'll make sure he does."

Vexen nodded. "We will be discussing the birth at your next appointment, Zexion." He said looking over the Schemer.

Zexion nodded and blushed. "I can hardly wait…"

Vexen then turned his gaze to Marluxia. "I think it's wise that you keep him in your room for a while so this doesn't happen again. He got off lucky this time."

"I know." He said forming his scythe. "For now he could stay in my room, at least he'd have something to protect him even when I'm not here."

Vexen shrugged. "Oh, I almost forgot. The Superior dropped this off earlier today." He told Marluxia holding a slip of paper that looked suspiciously like a mission form. "Apparently we're to be working together on this. From the looks of it, it starts tomorrow."

Marluxia nodded at the ice wielder. "Okay. I'll meet you here then." He said taking the copy with his name written on it. "Is there anything else?"

Vexen shook his head. "No. You may leave now." He said then walking back into his room.

Zexion looked at the sheet of paper that was given to Marluxia. "That sucks. How long is it supposed to be?"

"I'm not sure. It looks like a month at the least."

"Damn."

Marluxia put the paper in his pocket. "Enough about this. Let's go see Xemnas."

Zexion nodded. "Very well" and followed Marluxia to the Superior's room.
