Martin chuckled at seeing this side of Alex. "Well yes yoga at 6.30. Theres still time for you to finish the ice cream first. " he added as followed Alex to enter the flat. "You have to remember to wipe icr cream on your face tiough."

[lxcttrll]

"Sorry if it's a mess," Alex spoke, putting the lid on the small container, grabbing a napkin and beginning to wipe his mouth. "Started getting stuff in for Rosemary. Meant to start painting the nursery," he continued as he disappeared into his room, changing into gym shorts and a loose shirt.

Seeing Alex come out Martin stood up. He scratched his head and handed him the bunch of flowers. "Ermm... I wasnt sure why I had gotten these but.... well these are for you." He djdnt think he had been this awkward in his life. Not even back his goofy highschool days.

[lxcttrll]

"Thank you," Alex smiled at the flowers, getting a vase from the cabinet and filling it with water before placing the bouquet inside.

[bhdire8]

"So... ready to go?" Martin smiled at Alex axcepting the flowers. "Being late to the first class could be awkward." He was very looking forward to the class really.

[lxcttrll]

"Yeah," Alex replied, heading towards the door. "Who's driving?"

[bhdire8]

"Do you want to drive? I am fine with both." Martin said. He caught on his waddling starting to show now that his belly had grown further.

[lxcttrll]

"Yeah, I'd like to. I probably don't have a lot of time to keep driving with how big she's getting," Alex chuckled, taking his keys.

[bhdire8]

"Ya sure right. It wasnt that we discourage carriers to drive as they are further along, the belly simply got into the way." Martin followed Alex to the car. Alex got into it fine though with obviously less agility than before.

They arrived the place 5 minutes later and found several other pairs have arrived and were sitting on the mats.

[lxcttrll]

Alex entered the room, settling in a mat with Martin next to him.

[bhdire8]

The instructor walked in after a bit. Majority of the class were pregnant female, Alex and another guy with a much larger belly were the only two females. The guy came alone and the instructor, who was a petite lady, asked him to go out as demonstration.

[lxcttrll]

Alex felt a littkr bashful that he was one of the two only men there. He knew male pregnancy was uncommon, but it was still a little uncomfortable to see the statistics.

[bhdire8]

Martin saw Alex fidget a bit and whispered in his ears while the teacher was introducing. "As a male pregnancy specialist, this is far from the normal male:female ratio. Its probably only because guys are too macho to come yoga."

[lxcttrll]

Alex cracked a small smile at Martin's remark, trying not to think too much about it. He was doing this for his baby, not himself.

[bhdire8]

"Now partners and husbands, sit behind your mates, let them lean into you and relax, your hands placed on the belly. You could try putting a block under their hip if they feel more comfortable." The instructor caught their attention and Martin blushed a little at how closely the position would put him and Alex together.

[lxcttrll]

Alex hesitantly settled against Martin, taking his hands and placing them on his belly, smiling when Rosemary moved at the interaction.

[bhdire8]

"Now mothers to be, try relaxing into your partners. Close your eyes and deep breathes. Imagine this like you are laboring. Focus on your breathings. Partners you can draw small circles on the bellies."

[lxcttrll]

Alex relaxed at the instructions, taking deep breaths as Martin rubbed his belly.

[bhdire8]

"Ok and the last breathing, in... and out...." the instructor, Anna, continued. "Then next up is a double squatting. Mothers to be will be squatting with their knees wide apart, palms clapped in front or your chest, partners please also squat down behind them. Use your knees to support their back and your hand at the lowerbelly."

Martin was a bit unsure if this would become too imtimate. The hands would be quite close to the groins in this position. As he helped Alex into a squatting position, which exaggerated his belly, he squatted down a little unsurely.

[lxcttrll]

Alex gripped Martin for support when he couldn't balance properly, blushing slightly at how close they were. Alex wondered what Martin's body was like, knowing he had strong, yet gentle, hands. Was he like that everywhere else?
