Helping Gerard off the bed the older male took him into the living room and said he'd start on lunch and told Gerard to just rest in the living room.  The window was open to let in some fresh air and as Markus left to the kitchen the man paused before looking over his shoulder to study Gerard for a moment.  He clearly needed time, and the older man wasn't going to try and speed it up.  It wouldn't help anyone.<br/><br/>The cooking process was pretty simple and the meal itself simple, though none the less was good.  Returning to the living room after some time he placed the bowl of soup with a half sandwich in front of the other.  Taking a seat across from the pregnant male, his eyes focused on Gerard for a moment.  With a soft smile he leaned back in the chair, memories of their first meeting came to mind as he couldn't help but think about Dave just staring at the man and whispering about how he wanted to meet the other guy so much.  It had been a funny sight, but ended in something magical.<br/><br/>Ensuring the other ate, Markus stood and began back to the kitchen to get a drink ready when he heard his cellphone.  It was Dave'smother, still upset about everything and had been calling Dave nonstop to try and get him on her side.  And, from little knowledge he had, wanted to convenience Gerard to give up their family name and Markus guessed something more than just that.  Silencing his phone he went back to work to take care of Gerard, always treating him like a normal person rather than a poor broken soul.
