"I promise no one wants to hurt this child.  No one can hurt this child."<br/><br/>Markus was surprise, and a it scared, when he finally touched the stomach.  The small kicks could be felt an slowly something started to stir in the other's stomach.  Then, his own tears began to come out as Gerard spoke more.  There was ringing in the background, of course only Markus could hear this and as he felt his hand being left alone, remaining on the other's stomach, Markus slowly heard the other began to sob.<br/><br/>Shaking his head the man reached up and held the other's cheek, his eyes firm as he looked into the other's eyes "And he's going to know how much Dave loves him, how much you love him...how much I care for him." the man said as he wiped away the other's tears.  Pressing their foreheads together the man sighed softly.  "We'll make it though this.  It'll hurt, that kind of pain can never heal, but we'll make it though it as new people."<br/><br/>With a tissue in hand the older male wiped the other's face, much like a mother cleaning their child's sobbing face, and kissed the other's forehead.  It was an innocent kiss.  There was no lust or wanting behind it.  Just a kiss trying to comfort someone.  "Just let it out.  Don't hold it back--you never have to hold back with me.  Gerard."
