With the sudden questions being thrown out at him the older man quickly tried to calm down the younger male and quickly shook his head as he gently pulled Gerard in for a hug.  Rubbing his shoulder the man hushed Gerard softly "Relax, you're fine.  She made no such threat, and even if she did I swear on my life that she'd have to kill me first to even get to the two of you." he spoke softly as he tilted the other's chin up and looked down at him "Okay?  I will never let anyone hurt your child.  Never let anyone hurt you.  I promise this."<br/><br/>Markus brushed the other's hair back and sighed softly "I know this is hard and with everything else happening is only adding onto your stress.  But I promise that you don't have to worry about your and your child's safety.  I'll ensure no one hurts you."
