Laying there in the peaceful night the older man sighed softly as he tried to think of a way to clean up any mess that woman was going to make before the baby's birth.  Suddenly Gerard was up and screaming.  Quickly sitting up Markus looked down and reached down to pull off the covers and pull him into his arms "Gerard calm down! Calm down!" he said as he held the other firmly and rubbed his back "Calm down.  Its okay...its okay...Shhh..." Markus wiped the other's eyes and stared into his eyes.  "Take a deep breath...focus on me...just on me.  You're okay."<br/><br/>Markus sat there in the bed and simply held him as he tried to relax the younger male.  The older male tried to talk to Gerard, to tell him good and happy things before falling silent.  He couldn't help Gerard with everything, even if he did try, and could only be there to be a shoulder to cry on.
