Martin helped Alex tug down the shirt. "Comfy? Not sratching your breasts or belly?" He knew those parts'skin were getting very sensitive now and would easily scratch or turn red from the mildest friction.

[lxcttrll]

"Yeah, it's okay," Alex confirmed. He hated wearing tighter clothes with what they did to his skin, but he wanted to look somewhat presentable.

[bhdire8]

"Good we are good to go then. You look great." Martin kissed Alex's head and they go out together, Martin loved how Alex snuggle up to him when they walk, even forcing Martin to place a hand around his waist. He hadn't thought Alex was the type to enjoy physical touches but was quite happy that he turned out to be one.

[lxcttrll]

Alex huddled close to Martin, always liking to be close to him. It was comforting to know someone loved him, that he would be cared for along with Rosemary.

When they went back to the nursery, they found the tiger to be done. It was playing with his paws strerched out trying to catch a butterfly.  Martin loved it. "Oh Mrs Raegan this is so perfect! I can't wait for the nursery to be done. Frankly I am getting jealous of Rosemary for having such a beautiful room for herself." He rubbed on Rosemary and gave it a mocking envious glare.

[lxcttrll]

Angela grinned when her work was praised, setting the paints aside, thanking him and leaving to change clothes. Alex smiled when Martin rubbed and glared at his belly, feeling Rosemary kick at his palm. "He's just teasing, princess."

[bhdire8]

Martin knelt down and cupped the belly, kissing it and whispering softly to it. "Oh Rosemary darling, don't get angry at daddy. I was just too envious of you! You will indeed be a princess when you come out, everyone's going to spoil you rotten."

[lxcttrll]

Alex laughed softly at Martin talking to Rosemary. "That's right, baby girl. Everything's gonna be perfect for you."

[bhdire8]

"And everything's gonna be alright for you too Alex." Martin added. "I swear I would do whatever I can to keep you both safe."

They were soon rejoined by Angela and off they went to the restaurant.

[lxcttrll]

Dinner went smoothly, the trio heading back to Alex's apartment. Angela soon headed to bed, Alex taking Martin's hands and placing their foreheads together. "Stay the night?"

[bhdire8]

"I'd love to!" Martin cup Alex's face, though as a second thought he quuckly glanced at Angela's closed door and bit his lips togethrr. "Your mother's fine with this right?"

[lxcttrll]

"Yes, she's okay with it. I like you with me, you... You make me feel safe. And she knows that, so she wouldn't mind having you here."

[bhdire8]

"Thank you. It is the best compliment to me being able to make you feel safe." Martin embraced Alex. "Hmm I think we hadnt had our cuddling/rubbing session today. Which part do you want today? Belly? Feet?....breast?"

[lxcttrll]

"Feet would be best. Even when I try to stay off of them, they still swell up," Alex replied, leading Martin to his bedroom and sitting on the bed. The room was simple, a bed with a dresser to the side, a few Knick knacks lying around.

[bhdire8]

"Ok let get you lay down." Martin helped Alex down. "Well Rosemary's been sitting on your pelvis, so circulation was bound to be restricted." He lifted his feet and started with the toes. The ginger lotion was again used.

[lxcttrll]

Alex propped his feet into Martin's lap, rubbing his belly as Martin massaged his feet, thinking for a moment. "So, you know a good bit about me, what about you? What's your family like?"

[bhdire8]

"Hmm my mother is dead. Well they are much older than your parents, since I am much older than you too. My father... he remarried after awhile and is now living in Canada, deep in the woods. So it's basically me alone." Martin pressed on the ankle and push up the calves, helping the bloodflow back up.

[lxcttrll]

Alex nodded, listening intently to anything he could soak up. He didn't know too much about Martin, and made it a priority to know more. "What's your favorite book?"

[bhdire8]

"Hmm let me see. I like detectives. Jeffery Deaver? Bone collector? How bout you?"

[lxcttrll]

"Being Henry David. This kid wakes up in a train station with no idea who he is, with ten bucks and 'Walden' by Henry David Thoreau. He's just trying to find who he is and how he got to the train station."
