Alex was keeping a close eye on Elliot as his mother drove off the parking lot. He knew better than to fall asleep himself, or else his mate wouldn't be able to stay on the seat even with seatbelts on. He made sure the seatbelt wasn't tugging too close and tight around Elliot's vulnerable bellly now, and braced himself for the "roller coaster" about to hit them.

"Shhh as fast as we are... my mother is in fact very 'good' at this.... shh Elliot, don't look. " Alex was busy comforting his mate when the speeding began. "Err mother..." he started, about to tell his mom to slow down when she took a sharp turn and chuckled at her son. "Hmm what is it Alex?" she glanced in the rear mirror and Alex's voice seemed to have distracted her enough, she was jerking away from a neighboring car since she had let the car lean towards it too much.

"errr, could you...woah!" Alex exclaimed when the car started jerking, bumping on the sidewalks. Alex could only clutch Elliot tight and hold him close to himself. "shhh deep breathes..."

"Elliot, you want us to stop?" his mother heard that and skidded the car to a stop, which had the young couple at the backseat surging forward. "Elliot!" Alex yelled pulling his pregnant mate back, holding him at just the right time to prevent him from hitting the front seat - and risked having the seatbelt biting into his delicate belly. "phew.... Mom!" Alex would have tolerated his mother's style of driving, but this was too much. "Elliot's pregnnat and it woudln't do to drive that fast! I will take the wheel." he said unbuckling his seatbelt, wanting to take over - even though that would mean he had to leave Elliot's side for awhile.
