Apart (Part 2 to Fallen)

Part 1

word count: 3158 (how tf!?!?)

Baekhyun feels uneasy the second he’s back inside the house; the air seems to be ten times colder without the warmth of your smile and the soft laughter of your daughter filling the air.

His fingers mindlessly trace over the patches of fabric you lovingly stitched into his coat after all the times he carelessly snagged holes in it from yanking it off of the hanger. He knows it’s selfish. Not properly sending you on your way to mask his own hurt at seeing you and your daughter venturing off on your adventures without him. Your world-stopping smile, pregnancy glow, and the two sets of heart softening doe eyes looking up at him too much for his tired form to bear. Too much for him to deal with his guilt without falling apart in front of you.

He hates it — hates how hard it is to be around you lately. Always feeling as if he is stepping on eggshells in fear of stressing you out. Your soft smiles and sweeter words whispered to the precious symbol of your love growing inside of you brings tears to his eyes that he has to hide every time you gaze up at him from across the living room when he steps through the door. You mean the world to him and he’d do anything for you. No matter how many long hours he spends cooped up alone at the office, or sleepless nights from attending to your daughter when she cries for him in the middle of the night. He wouldn’t change a single part of your lives — except for last night.

His heart aches at the thought; fists clenched and bile rising in his throat. Remembering the deceitful men urging him to take more drinks, and the woman he practically had to shove off his lap.

♡♡

Baekhyun’s heart beat is pounding furiously in his ears, the only thing stopping him from going into a blind rage is the thought of you waiting up for him at home. With your pretty doe eyes and worry-melting smiles. Just your presence alone can calm him down.

He steps over the threshold without a word, hanging up his cream colored coat as he’s struck with the reminder that he is two hours late again. The underlying implications of that puts him in an even sour mood. He’s so stressed out lately that just the thought of anything more than a cup of coffee makes him feel sick to his stomach, and even more ill at the fact that you’re probably thinking he doesn’t enjoy your meals anymore. Meals that you usually store away for later, yet tonight you are—

“How was work?” Your voice is soft, always understanding in wake of his more often than not pleasant moods. His heart flutters as he quietly moves over to the coffee maker, mindful to carefully brush off his shoes before stepping onto the newly mopped floor. You turn away from him and he frowns, guilt budding in his chest as you distract yourself with the dishes. He knows how hard it is for you to have to take care of things around the house while having a bun in the oven.

“The merger bailed.” He mumbles, taking a few minutes to remember what you asked him.

“No.” You gasp, spinning to him, eyes wide and lips parted in shock. “Why? You’ve been working on this collab for months-”

“They wanted us to travel with them.” Anger once again fills his veins while recalling how disrespectfully those bastards spoke of you; a bitter smile forming on his lips. “Apparently a 7 months preganant wife doesn’t make the cut.” Fuckers. The lot of them.

“Y-You can go, I mean.” Your stuttering breaks him from his revengeful thoughts. Looking so small in his eyes with your hand over your adorable stomach and a plate of food balanced in your other hand. “I-I could let the baby spend the week at-”

What? “Where will they go?” Baekhyun panics. Why would you want your daughter to be away? Did he do something wrong? Are you—

The crashing of the plate to the floor startles him; hours of your hard work scattered like his barely contained emotions. “Where will they go?” He repeats softer, roughly carding his fingers through his ruffled hair. Did he startle you? He didn’t mean to. He’s just so—

Baekhyun raises a brow, swearing that he heard you say something in that cute way you like to utter things under your breath. His eyes widening at your state, hands outstretched to help you back up only to stop, a memory occurring to him. You screamed at him every time he attempted to help you pick up fallen food during the earlier months of your pregnancy. Proclaiming that you were ‘capable of doing it’ yourself while sternly pointing him towards the cupboard that you keep the cleaning supplies.

“I-I got work in the morning,” Baekhyun mumbles. The last thing he wants is to fight you. He doesn’t want to risk what regretful words he’d spew if he stays any longer; quickly going over to open the supply cupboard for you and setting the first-aid kit on the countertop just in case you accidentally prick yourself. He tentatively retrieves his coat from the rack, meekly uttering,  “I’ll be at Chanyeol’s. Don’t wait up, okay?” While pulling the door closed behind him.

♡

Yeah, he’s still upset. Very upset. He’s been working on that stupid merger for 4 months. Hours upon hours spent worried over how he’s going to pay off student loans, provide for your growing family, and help your little stars through college. The weight of all the responsibilities weighing so heavily on his shoulders that he has resorted to shutting down and shoving his own feelings aside. He’s got a beautiful daughter, a beloved wife and another little one on the way. All of them are depending on him and he cannot under any circumstances afford to disappoint them. For what is the sun without it’s pretty planets circling around, leaning on it for stability and warmth? Nothing. But a big ball of pent up energy marching on its own journey to collapsing upon itself.

Suddenly, the sky is covered with dark clouds; the bottom dropping out from under the fluffy accumulations of rain. It’s pouring out; the heavy droplets pelting down on the roof remind him of all the times he went out his way to go pick you up in the middle of storms such as this one. Because it’s not safe for you to be driving out in the rain —​​​​​​​ driving out in the rain.

Baekhyun’s eyes widen, ripping a new hole in his coat as he rushes to put it back on, throwing the front door open with half the mind to lock it behind him because you always chastise him over leaving the house vulnerable — but right now you’re fucking vulnerable!

“Fuck fuck fuck,” He mutters, yanking the door to his black Audi open just as the squealing of car tires in the distance reaches his ears.

Baekhyun freezes, grip tight on the doorframe and hair matted to his forehead. Because just up the road is a car accident with what he swears is your car and it doesn’t look pretty.

“Oh my god.” A neighbor gasps, her leashed puppy cradled in her frozen grasp. 

Baekhyun doesn’t stop to think; he fucking runs.

An ambulance is already weaving through the crowd as idiomatic bystanders block their way to the flipped over white Honda surrounded by broken glass on the sidewalk. The shrill screams of a frightened child — his child! — has him pushing his way through the crowd. Scrambling to the driver’s side of the car.

He wrenches the dented back car door open, tentatively brushing glass away from her tear streaked cheeks. Thanking every higher being that she only has small scratches on her little face. He scoops her out of the ruined carseat and cradles her to his chest, trying to soothe her as paramedics rush over to pull you from the car. Fuck. You —

Baekhyun’s head snaps up, wordlessly hurrying over to them on quick feet while they pull your unconscious form from under layers of broken metal and glass. A glance alone shows that you weren’t so lucky to leave the accident with only a few scratches on your face. No, there’s large pieces of glass distorting your delicate skin and a waterfall of red washing away in the rain.

Baekhyun barely hears a word that the person next to him is saying, only catching the phrases “child” and “hospital” before snapping out of his trace. “W-Wait!” He walks as fast as he can with your shaking daughter in his arms, “I’m the husband, I—” He chokes, eyes stinging with the realization of what is unfolding in front of him. Your limp body being lifted into the back of the ambulance. “I’m her husband.”

The paramedics usher him inside, offering a seat and asking to check up on the trembling toddler in his arms.

“How far along is she?” One of them asks, pulling a stethoscope from around her neck.

“7 m-months.” His voice comes out hoarse, a lump forming in his throat as he watches her slide it over your stomach. The lack of reaction from the little life inside of you makes more tears pool in the corners of his eyes. “I-Is the baby okay?”

She only gives him a solemn look, uttering some type of medical code to one of the other paramedics jotting down notes on a clipboard. “We’re almost at the hospital. Can I take a look at her?”

Baekhyun blinks through his blurry vision, reluctantly handing the small girl in his arms over to her. He shivers, just now feeling the coldness of his soaked clothes; swiping his drenched hair out of his eyes while graciously taking the thick blanket offered to him.

You couldn’t arrive at the hospital fast enough for him. He doesn’t know how much longer his heart can take seeing you like this — like a shattered irreplaceable vase missing the pieces to put it back together. Lifeless. Never to be the same again.

He barely registers the commotion as the paramedics roll you out of the ambulance and through the lobby, only stopping when a nurse holds him back from following you down the hall. “I’m sorry, Sir. You can’t go back there.”

“I—”

She swiftly shakes her head, standing her ground as he feels as if his whole world — his whole life is being flipped upside down. Less than an hour ago, your glowing figure was smiling up at him. Less than an hour ago, he thought that nothing else could get worse than the stress he faces every day. Yet here he is now, helplessly watching you and your daughter get taken further into the hospital — farther away from him. The man who vowed to be with you; in sickness and in health. In times of hardships and your greatest accomplishments. The same man who swore that no matter what came your way, you would face everything together—

Together…

Baekhyun plops himself down in an uncomfortable plastic chair; his head hanging low. How could he have forgotten such a thing? All the promises of sticking by your side through everything and anything. Of trust, leaning on each other — communication! When’s the last time he told you about his tiring days at work just to end up smiling by the end of the night while held in your loving arms? Or heard you complain about your feet hurting only for you to giggle soon afterward when he accidentally tickles you with his diligent massage? Or dared to reach across the body-shaped pillow that has taken up space in your bed to pull you to his chest. Did he really let himself get carried away by his own self doubts and fears? 

Baekhyun’s breath hitches, his heart stopping in its tracks. Did he seriously hide himself away thinking the pain of being unable to reach him wouldn’t hurt you? Wouldn’t make you… You want to leave him?

He doesn’t know how long he sits there. Surrounded by the endless amounts of people being rolled in the never-ending stream of patients in the hosiptal. It seems as if everyone has gotten into bad accidents today, but no amount of blood and body disfigurement can erase the horrific image of your helpless child — of your lifeless form being carried out of that battered car.

“Mr. Byun?”

Baekhyun’s head shoots up to the light blue and white dressed man in front of him. “T-That’s me,” He croaks, throat hurting from holding back tears while hurrying to stand up.

“I’m Dr. Kim,” The man holds out his hand, introducing himself — uselessly, Baekhyun thinks.

“H-How are they?” He manages between shaky breaths, five seconds away from crumbling into a heap on the porcelain white floor.

“Your daughter and son are okay.” The doctor states calmly, flipping through papers on his clipboard.

Baekhyun breathes a small sigh of relief, heart calming down a little. “And my wife?” His tone hopeful; eyes pleading. The uncertain expression on the doctor’s face enough to knock the wind out of him, “Follow me.”

He trails after the man; right on his heels, gulping down the panic steadily rising in his chest as they turn the corner at the end of the long hallway. The doctor opens the door, wordlessly stepping aside to let him enter the crowded room. At least three nurses are stationed in the room. One fussing over a small bundle in their arms and another with his daughter outstretching her arms towards the bed on the right side of the room. The sight of you nearly sends him falling to his knees.

“Your son is 5 pounds,” The brunette softly says over the loud cries of your daughter. “He has to spend a few days in the NICU until we—”

“Give her here.” He demands, arms held out to take his daughter away from the blonde nurse struggling to hold her squirming form. She’s quick to hand the child over, watching enviously as the little girl settles in her father’s arms, loud wails simmering down into quiet whimpers.

Baekhyun slowly makes his way over to the bed, carefully lowering her down between the spaces free from all the tubes attached to your pale form. She wraps her arms around your bandaged arm, doe eyes still brimming with tears. He hates the panicked confusion swirling in her shiny orbs. Hates how lifeless you look against the standardized hospital sheets and the gauze wrapped around your head.

“She lost a lot of blood.” The doctor tentatively notes, dismissing the nurses from the room. The brunette sets the baby down in the bassinet next to the bed before departing as well. “And hit her head pretty hard on the dashboard… The baby had to be taken by C-section,” He adds, noticing Baekhyun’s eyes drifting over to the little one squirming in the bassinet. “We want to keep an eye on his vitals for a few days.”

“And my daughter?” Baekhyun mumbles, he can’t bear to raise his voice. Can’t bear the slow beeps of your heart rate echoing around the quiet room.

“Nothing but a few scratches.” He sees the doctor raise his hand from his peripheral as if to place it on his shoulder before reconsidering it, lowering it back down with a clear of his throat. “I’ll give you some time alone.”

Baekhyun barely acknowledges his words, shaky hands reaching out to cradle your ice cold one in his own. Unmerciful tears swarming his eyes. He doesn’t hold them back this time.

“I’m sorry.” He barely registers the pain of his knees hitting the tiled floor, head bowed as he folds in on himself, weeping so hard his shoulders quake from the built up emotions rolling through him by waves. Much more choppy than the ones that lapped at your bare feet dipped into the ocean all those years ago. At the edge of the world. Where nothing else mattered but your bright smile and your heart racing against his own. 

“I-I’m sorr—” He chokes, hot tears flowing down his cold cheeks. Why did he pull away from you? Why did he have to go and hurt the sole person he would lay his own life down for? What if you never wake up? How will he explain to his daughter that her mother won’t be around anymore? That your son won’t know you at all anymore? You who were strong enough to stick by his side, filled to the brim with endless bounds of unconditional love despite how he treated you instead of the actions promised within your shared vows until you couldn’t — he made it so hard that you couldn’t anymore.

“I don’t deserve you.” He sniffles, voice cracking through his trembling lips. Hands clutching tightly onto your own. “I don’t deserve you at all, but please.” He can barely talk around the waterfall of tears pelting down his face, the sting of them worse than any downpour imaginable. “Please don’t leave me alone like this, baby. D-don’t.” He reaches up to cradle your cheek in his palm; the sound of his heart breaking nearly audible in wake of the healthy glow now gone from your face. “Open your eyes,” He breathes, fingers caressing your cheek. “Open your pretty eyes, baby. Tell me your love again,” He pleads, tears wetting the sheets and the fabric of your hospital gown. “Come back to me again.”

He drops his head again when you give no signs of hearing him; his hand slipping down helplessly back to your own grasping aimlessly at his — your hand!

Baekhyun nearly gets whiplash, eyes shooting up to meet your tired ones. The relief of seeing you looking back at him has him jumping to his feet, almost tangling himself up in the tubes attached to your body if not for your quiet warning reminding him. He settles for continuing to hold onto your hand, squeezing it softly as it slowly warms up the longer it is held within his, “You came back.” He whispers, astonishment clear in his hoarse voice. 

“You came after me.” You utter right back, lifting your arm to let your daughter snuggle closer into your unbandaged side.

“Of course I did,” Baekhyun’s eyes flutter all over your person, heart leaping in so much joy he wonders if you can feel it racing between your intertwined hands. “I’d die for you.” He declares, words resonating through both your chests like the meaningful ones exchanged five long years ago.

“And I’d live for you.” You proclaim right back; smile bright and eyes lighting up at the small cries of your symbol of undying love.

JD Fanfic Continued: Season9: Episode 1;Scenes 4-5

Scene 4

The next morning my brain wakes me up at a disrespectfully early hour. I find myself at the dining room table before the sun even rises. All of the contents of the box sprawled across it.

(Ugh, it's way too early for this. )

I take a long sip of my coffee and pick up one of the angel feathers off of the table. It's flawless crystal rivets shine brightly in the dimly lit room. The colors are a little different than mine. More red, less purple. I place it back down on the table next to two other identical feathers, and a small piece of tattered cloth.

( Sometimes you just need a tiny piece of cloth!)

I smile at the memory, my finger idly smoothing over the frayed edges. I'm just about to pull away when my finger catches on something. I carefully unfold the cloth to find a tiny piece of paper. Tarnished with age, I can barely make out the words. 'Call me where the Water meets the Earth.' I roll my eyes.

( Ok? Not helpful.)

I fold the cloth back up and place it back on the table before picking up the next mysterious object. A beautifully polished stone, mostly clear with what almost looks like ice growing in the center. Angel quartz is what Baphomet called it.

( Ok.. Obvious enough..)

Lastly my fingers fall upon a small lock of hair. It's as bright and radiant as a sunset, and even radiates it's own warmth. It's wrapped delicately with a red ribbon, and feels warmly familiar.

I sigh and make my way back into the kitchen to get more coffee. The sun is up now and I can hear a faint rustling of sheets coming from the other room. A blush spreads across my cheeks.

( They stir.)

"Nng!" The sound is abrupt and slices through the quiet morning air. "Why is there no beautiful Wife cuddling me?!" JD's voice is thick and heavy with sleep. I pour them a cup of coffee and make my way into the bedroom.

I can't help but laugh at their pathetic sight. Hair a mess, sheet lines all over their face, cute pouty lips, and a pillow placed over there eyes.

( Yeah.. probably should've closed those blackout curtains...)

"I'm sorry, O' light of my life, but we are the in the midst of summoning an Angel and need all the daylight we can get." I laugh as they draw themselves further into the blanket.

"Nng! No! Morning bad! Comfy bed with beautiful wife good!" By now they're so far into the blankets I can't even see them anymore. I smirk as a brilliant idea goes through my head. Before the thought even processes, my wings are in full form and I lift off. Taking the bundle of JD and blankets with me.

"W-woah! Ok! Th-theo! I'm up!" They squeak from inside their caccoon of blankets. "I promise, I'm up!"

I smile, proud of myself, and gently lower them back down on the bed. JD shakes off all of the blankets and stretches before narrowing their eyes at me.

"You know.. I think I may have rubbed off on you a little TOO much." Their frown and pouty lips make it impossible for me not to kiss them. So I do.

"Love you too, JD." I reply as I hand them their cup of coffee. Which they happily take before making their way into the living room. I motion for them to follow me over to the table. Unfolding the small piece of paper before them.

"Found this folded up inside our mysterious cloth.." I hand them the paper, and watch as their eyes turn sad.. almost longing.

"What's up, babe? Does this mean something to you?" I try to search their face as they place the paper down on the table, so gentle as to not break it.

"The words don't mean anything, but the handwriting is very familiar." Their eyes linger on the paper for a moment before locking onto mine. They shake their head, trying to clear it."I dunno, Theo, I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this."

I frown sympathetically. I know the idea of me summoning an Angel in their presence is terrifying. But we have to do this. Right?

(Right??)

"Well.. we're about to summon a literal Angel, JD. Of course you have a bad feeling about it." I give them a playful shove, hoping to break some of the tension in their face. They give me a sideways smile, and raise an eyebrow.

"Oh, come now, Mrs. Davies-Craine. I can think of at least one way I wouldn't mind having summoners privileges over an Angel" They give me a wink and the heat rises from my cheeks all the way to my neck.

( Okay. So not fair, Jordan. )

"Ah- Um- S-so.. anyways.." I do my best to change the subject before I set off our fire alarm. "W-what do you think this phrase means? Any idea?"

They chuckle to themselves, obviously proud that they can still fluster me in such a way. Their fingers fall back to the paper, eyes level with concentration.

"Well.. where the water meets the earth would normally mean the beach, buuut we live in middle America, sooo yeah." They pause for a minute, letting a wide smile reach their lips. "Oh! Of course... The lake! We can summon them at the lake!"

I run over and plant a deep, heated kiss on JD's lips. I can feel the smile as they kiss me back.

"You're brilliant. You know that, right?" I tell them. Their smile grows fond as they move a stray hair out of my face.

"Like I said, biased as fuck." They pick up their phone and start tapping away in a hurry. My phone buzzes a moment later with a group text.

[ 'Meet us @ the Lake. Its Angel time!']

['You better be wearing clothes this time, Jordan']

['That was ONE time!"]

I can't help but laugh as we gather everything back into the box, and head out to the truck.

( There really is nowhere else I'd rather live. )

Scene 5

By the time I make it out the door, I can tell JD's itching to take their bike out for the ride to the lake. They're leaned coolly up against the side of my truck, idly playing with their keys in their hand. They catch my eye and give me a wide grin.

"Hey babe! Feel like getting a little wind in your hair?" They twirl their keys around on their index fingers and smirk. I give them a little smile, already making my way over to the bike. The look of pure joy on their face as they run over to where I'm standing makes my heart flutter. They turn to face me, handing me a helmet.

"Oh, come on! Seriously? I am NOT wearing a helmet, Jordan! I'm a literal fucking Angel!" They pout exceedingly, giving me the most pathetic dose of puppy dog eyes ever.

"B-but.. I splurged and finally got you the one that says Maximum Stunts! See?!" I look down at the brand new helmet, no massive crack down the middle from that one time (or second time?) I almost died. The words Maximum Stunts is emblazoned upon the left side in bright gold script. JD looks so happy with themselves that I groan loudly and take the helmet.

"Ughhh... fiiiine. You owe me, though!" Even through the tinted glass I can see a side smirk spread across JD's lips.

"Ohh? Do I now?" The inflection in their tone immediately brings a rush of pink to my cheeks. "Well... I would looove to know what kind of payment you had in mind... and if it requires clothes." They give me one last look before settling down on the bike.

(Oh lord. I'm entirely too gay for this. )

I groan again before settling behind them. The feeling of their warm body against mine making my cheeks burn a little hotter. They laugh to themselves before taking us out onto the road.

By the time we get to the lake, Havenfall's Finest are all waiting for us. Razi and Mac are having an animated discussion about the difference between Werewolf packs and ancient Djinn families.

( Who cares who has a stronger hive mind?)

( They do. They care. )

Diego on the other hand is sitting quietly under a tree with Spike in his lap, reading through a book on unusual summoning. They all smile and wave as we pull up.

"Hey guys! Beautiful day for a rogue summoning that may get us all killed, huh?!" JD exclaims with a grin, only half joking. They all respond with nervous mumbling as we make our way over to the waters edge.

Diego gives Spike one last pet before standing and bringing over the book he's been reading. He points to a sigil in the middle of the last page.

"From what I can tell, this is the sigil most used to summon Angels." The sigil is fairly close to that of a pentagram, only with four points instead of five. "Most of this page is in Enochian though, so it's hard to be certain."

"Enochian? Like, the language of Angels??" Razi exclaims. He looks about as dumbfounded a the rest of us feel. Pretty much anything we've ever heard about Angels, other than what I personally know, has just been rumors.

"OK.. well, let's gather some sticks and build this bitch!" JD claps their hands together loudly and heads off towards the wooded area next to the lake. It doesn't take long before we've acquired all the sticks we need and are carefully building the sigil on the waters edge. JD then places down the the objects, one on each point. Diego hands me the carefully written out summoning spell, and steps back.

(Ok. Here goes... probably something terrible.)

I steady myself, reading the odd language over in my head until I'm sure I can say it without accidentally summoning some rogue Angel. I close my eyes and take the deepest breath of my life.

"Ge umd de g. Lrasd akrus skys. Ge aldon g! kures, torzu!" In an instant each line of the sigil starts to glow. Just like the first time I summoned JD, I cut off a lock of hair and drop it into the center of the now vibrating earth. I jump back as a massive beam of light bursts through the center of the circle. For a moment it's so bright that none of us can see.

"Holy shi-" Before JD can finish their sentence, strange bells start to ring out from the now billowing cloud of white smoke. The smell of fresh snow filling the air.

I take JD's hand trying to ground myself. Slowly but surely a figure starts to come into view. The first thing I notice is the beautiful waves of red/golden hair. They reach all the way down to the wet earth and shine brightly in the sun. When I'm finally able to make out their face, I catch citrine crystaline eyes locked into mine, and the warmest smile I've ever seen in my life. As soon as the woman finally comes into view, and I'm completely stunned into silence by her ethereal beauty. Her wings are bright, raining prisms of blue and red across our faces.

No one dares to move. But as her angel form starts to fade, JD's eyes go wide. I'm trying to read their face but it's filled with an emotion I've honestly never seen before. They take a step forward, swallowing hard.

The ethereal woman turns her eyes from mine to theirs, and her smile grows even warmer. She opens her arms and all I want to do is embrace her.

(Simmer down now, Theo.)

Her voice is smooth, like wind chimes on a warm summer's day, and suddenly I'm hit with a strange shot of deja'vu. Where have I heard that voice before?

"Hello, Jordan." The woman's eyes now bright with what can only be described as pride and admiration. Her smile fond, and wide. "It certainly is good to be looking into your beautiful face again."

I look over to JD and they look like they're about to faint. I grab their hand again trying to give them an anchor. They take a deep staggering breath.

"M-mom!?"

(Mom??)
