A few days after the couple where giving their baby, Magnus decided to spend some quality time with his "son" by bringing him to the local pool along with Alec.
"I'm not sure this is really the best idea, Mag..." Alec said as a pushed the stroller down the sidewalk towards the pool.
"The baby is made of plastic and metal. Completely waterproof, Mr. Johnson said so. It'll be fine Alexander."
"Won't it be a little awkward though?" Asked Alec. "I mean, two guys in the baby pool together, with a fake baby? I mean, they might kick us out..."
"Alexander!" Magnus said, making a 180 degree turn, placing his hands on Alec's shoulders and looking him straight in the eye. "Our baby needs this! It's a learning experience! We should be teaching him to swim while he's still young, heck, when I was his age, I was able to do the breaststroke perfectly, and he hasn't even been swimming before!"
"Magnus... you know he's not really a baby, right?" Alec looked concerned.
"Nonsense!" Magnus walked briskly ahead of Alec, finally entering the pool. He payed for him, Alec and his "son" as he told the lady at the front desk. They all entered the changing room, Alec, wearing plain black trunks, Magnus wearing rainbow trunks. Alec sighed when he saw what Magnus was wearing, he was just releaved it wasn't a speedo, like Magnus had worn to the beach once. It was a very awkward experience, in Alec's opinion, Magnus seemed to disagree.
The two walked out into the swimming area, and into the baby pool which was only about two feet deep. One girl, around the age of four, took one look at Magnus's glittery magnificence and ran away.
"Mag, I think you're scaring the children..." Said Alec.
"At bit of trauma will do them good." Magnus looked at the kids splashing and playing in the water with disgust. "I hate children."
Alec faced palmed.
"Ugh." Alec said, "I hate public pools. Can you imagine how many kids have peed in this?"
"There are filters in the pool, it get's cleaned out." Magnus explained.
"I don't care, it's still full of pee! And sense we're in the baby pool the percentage of pee goes up by like, fifty percent." Alec was really beginning to gross himself out by now, so he sat on the edge of the pool, lifting his body out of the water.
"Hey Alec, can I take Gabriel on the slide?" Magnus pointed eagerly towards a long tube looping down into one of the deeper pools.
"Um, well, I suppose, if they'll let you. Frankly, I'm surprised they even let us bring him into the pool in the first place."
"Yay! Thanks Alexander, I love you Alexander!" Magnus said before rushing towards the slide. Alec stood up and walked towards the area where the slide ending, waiting for Magnus and Gabriel to come out of it. After a few minutes, they did. Magnus was screaming, holding onto Gabriel for dear life. He splashed into the water, and sunk under for a moment. Magnus came up gasping, his make up smeared and his once spiky hair dripping and glued to his face. He climbed up the latter attached to the side of the pool and eminently began complaining about his make up and hair.
"Magnus, where is Gabriel?" Alec said cautiously.
"Gabriel?..." Magnus looked down at the hand that once held the plastic baby. "GABRIEL! AHHH! SOMEBODY SAVE MY BABY!" About half the pool was staring at the couple.
" Just swim down and get him." Alec had now stood up and was staring down into the depths of the pool, there, resting at the bottom, was their son.
"But I don't know how to swim!" Magnus was flipping out.
"Don't know how to swim? Magnus, you told me you where able to do the breaststroke perfectly as an infant! Of course you can swim." Alec reassured.
"Not anymore." Magnus looked off to the side and nothing in particular. "It was the day of the swimming contest, I was ten years old and I knew I was going to win! But just as I was about to finish my last lap and win my one hundredth swimming trophy, my speedo slipped off and thousands of people saw my... It was humiliating! I vowed never to swim again after that day!" Magnus said. Now just about everybody in the pool was staring at them.
"Well then why did you want to come swimming?" Alec asked.
" I explained before. I want our son to enjoy the magnificence of swimming." Magnus said solemnly.
"Magnus! He's a friggen toy!" Alec practically shouted.
"None of that matters anymore, my love, just save my baby... do it for me!" Magnus looked up at Alec with tear filled eyes. Alec smacked his hand on his forehead again and dove in to save Gabriel.
After surfacing from the pool, Gabriel in his hand, one of the life guards walked over and asked them to kindly leave the building because they were "disturbing the peace."
