MAGNUS

Getting to see my daughter surrounded by kids just like her was a godsend. We didn't have groups like this one before and it was wonderful to see her open up to children. Her mother and I could never really take her to a daycare or anything, hence getting to know Ragnor and Catarina so well. Cat would keep her while I was in class and Tessa worked. I talked to some of the other parents and realized they were in the same position I was and some even had divorces because of it, not that the kids knew that.

The stress levels the parents feel are nothing compared to their children, but having your baby hurting and not being able to do anything strains a marriage. It takes a strong one to survive something like this. Two of the mother's with us today were real nice and I had gotten along with them rather well, it was the others. The ones that looked at me with that "You should be ashamed" look. You know the one where they assume you're taking it up the ass, but not real positive because you procreated. Those people make me sick, it's almost worse than the comments that aren't remotely true.

I didn't care, though, because my daughter hasn't been to the zoo before. Ragnor didn't know if she would be able to with the meds she had been taken so the fact that he gave us the move to go says a lot. We had smiled and taken photos all day, but I was ready to get back to our sanctuary. I hadn't told her that Alec was coming and cooking for us because I wanted her to enjoy the day. Not that Alec coming would hinder it, quite the opposite. She's keep asking me how much longer till we got to see him. If I didn't know my daughter, which I do, she already is quite fond of my blue eyed guy. He's been over a lot, and it's been beneficial. He also usually talks and plays with Annie when he's over, but I know it's because he knows Will ignored her.

I also know that as soon as she'd down for the night, he would always stay about an hour so we had a chance to talk about things. I was slowly falling for that man. I know that Jordan asshole really hurt him, I can tell by his eyes. I also know whatever it was, I will know soon. I have a feeling it has to do with something physical and I can guess. Alec can't speak, can't hear himself if he does make a sound. This leads me to believe Jordan likes a man, or woman apparently, that screams and is loud when intimate. That really stinks that the fucker would use that against Alexander, like he had a say in how his ears and voice worked. I wanted to hurt the guy and I wasn't even totally sure I was right.

It was the only thing I could think of as Alec's told me that the guy before the fucker was fine with it. I was dominant by nature, which I'm sure Alec's starting to learn. What I am not is hurtful or judgemental. I have been on the recieving of those and I know as soon as he lets me, I will worship him whether he cries out my name or not. I shake my head as we walk into the apartment and Annie runs to put her knew elephant on her bed with her teddy. I follow her after sending a text to Alec to let him know we're home and to text when he's leaving and when he gets here so I know to buzz him through. That was our thing, it was the way to let me know he was ready to enter the apartment and then I kept the door unlocked for him.

I lean against the doorway of my daughter's room and watch as she introducing her "Nellie" to the other animals in the room. It's adorable how she treats them like real people. She turns and jumps a bit when she sees me. I hold up my hands and smile.

"Why don't you take your bath now, little one? I have a surprise for dinner and I'm not sure when it'll get here."

The smiles lights her face and I hear her call out "Alec" as the bathroom door shuts.

I just walk to my room and put my keys and wallet in a little bowl on the table by my bed. I then toe off my shoes and walk back into the living room. I stop at the kitchen to make sure I have the wine chilling as Alec asked if I had any red for dinner. I also make sure I have some grape juice for my daughter so she thinks she's drinking the same as we are. I hear the bathroom water stop and smile to myself. That little girl was my world and I wouldn't trade her for anything. I hear my phone beep and I smile as I open it.

"On the way, see you in five."

I just close the phone because I never answer knowing he'll text when he's here. I set out some plates because I'm not sure what all he needs to cook and go to set the table. Annie comes out and is already in a pajama set with snowflakes on them and Olaf on the front. She runs down with her new toy and climbs into one of the stools at the snack bar. "When's he ge…"

Her eyes light up and she stops talking as my phone goes off. I smile and pick her up, letting her buzz Alec in and then I unlock the door. She sits on the couch and I continue setting the table as I hear the door open. I hear her scream in happiness and then giggles, he picked her up. This was their usual greeting and I loved it. I look over as they walk into my line of sight and I smile in hello as I set the last of the dishes in their place at the table. Alec smiles and lets her down, getting to her level and asking if she wants to help with dinner. I set next to her at the bar while he takes out the things he brought. I help her stir in certain ingredients while Alec cuts up what looks to be chicken. We don't talk because Alec is using his hands, but it's comforting. Having him here makes my little house feel like a home, and I know it's the affect he's had in helping Annie adjust.

Annie leans over and motions me to get close when Alec isn't looking and I smile. "Yes?" I sign.

"You can kiss him now, daddy."

I pull back and look at my daughter, trying to see if what she says is what she really feels. I see her with the biggest smile I have ever seen on her face since she got sick and I pick her up. We laugh as I twirl her and when I notice Alec, I stop. I raise my hand and smile at him. "Tell you later."

He nods and goes back to work while I cup Annie's face. "Don't tell him, I wanna tell him."

She smiles and nods, going back to her task of stirring ingredients. Alec turns and asks for our bowl. I hand it over and he mixes everything and then turns around.

"It'll be about fifteen minutes. How was the zoo?"

I watch as Annie's face lights up and she starts to tell Alec all about the animals she saw and the things she did while he was with his family. It was wonderful to see these two people so excited about her little trip to the zoo. Alec winked at me as he turned to check the chicken he was making and Annie got down to take her elephant to the room. I guess he told her food was finished and she wouldn't want it to get on her new toy. He leans in and keeps his face on mine. I smile and lean in a bit as well. I don't know if I should kiss him now or wait because I don't want him mad at me. It's very important to both of us that Annie gives us a green light and I know he's wanting to prove he's not William.

"Hello." He waves.

I smile and use my mouth. "Hello, how was your day?"

He smiles and leans back so he can use his hands better. "My friends are having a baby. They've been trying for about two years. Been together since school."

I smile and nod. "Then I'm proud they are getting what they want."

Annie comes in as dinner is done and I help Alec bring it to the table. We all eat in silence and then Annie goes to climb into bed since it's already 8:00. We had gotten in about 6:30 so I wasn't at all surprised she went right to sleep. I walk back down to the living room to see Alec trying to clean up. I grab his wrist and he looks up at me.

"You cooked, I'll clean. You can take the wine in the living room if you want."

He nods and I take over. I quickly put up the left overs and then load the dishwasher, starting it up. I walk into the living area to see Alec in deep thought. I sit next to him and we turn so we can face each other while we talk.

"Did you like the zoo?" he asks.

I shrug. "For the most part. Some of the parents gave dirty looks, but that's expected. I don't exactly hide my sexuality."

He scoots closer and takes one of my hands while he holds up his other.

"That really stinks, Magnus. You daughter told me something when I came in today. She also kissed me on the cheek."

My eyes widen a bit because she hadn't done that yet. He sees my brows furrow and he comes closer. "She said I could kiss you."

I smile and shake my head, knowing my little girl was just as devious as her daddy. I see his face move in puzzlement and sigh, moving and cupping his face.

"She told me that as well while you were cutting up the chicken. I told her I wanted to tell you."

I see his body shake in silent laughter and then his eyes get a darker tent to them. My eyes move as his tongue pokes out and licks his lip and I mimic the action with my own. He cups my face and we leave our eyes open till right before our lips touch. I can't even tell you how it felt because I have no words. I go to pull back and his hands move to my neck in order to keep me in place. I smile against his mouth and move my hands to curl my fingers in the hair on the nape of his neck. I don't know how long the kiss was but I knew I need to breath. I pulled back just enough to let air in and touched my forehead to his. His eyes stayed closed, but I moved so he could look at me.

We don't move, just stare and I can see the emotion, he liked it. I smile and so does he before we're moving back for another. This time he tangles his hands in my hair and holds me in place while he asks for his tongue to meet mine. I let it with ease and move my hands to his hips, pulling him closer. We let our tongues dance and it's heavenly, the sensations he's creating. When air is needed this time, I move my lips down his jaw and he moves so I can have access to his skin. I kiss my way down the jaw bone and to his ear, when I take it into my mouth, I hear the smallest sound that if I wasn't so close I would have missed it.

I pull back and he's looking at me. I see worry in his eyes and I just smile. I know he has no clue he made that sound and that small sound sent a wonderful thrill through my nerves, the only thing beating it was the first cry of my child. I lean forward again and kiss him once more before pulling back. He looks a bit puzzled when he finally opens his eyes. He smiles though because I know my smile is huge. I hold up my hands and sigh.

"If I don't stop kissing you, I'm going to try to take clothing off, Alexander."

I see his blush and then he leans over to kiss once more before holding up his own hand.

"I should go because I agree with you and it's much to soon for that."

I nod and follow him to the door, where we kiss once more before he leaves through it. I sigh and close my eyes as the feel of that kiss, the small whispered sound, the hands, the eyes, hell just Alexander was still invading every touch and I knew….I knew my dreams would kill me come morning.

Hope you liked it and please let me know at the bottom what you thought! This may be the last one for today, but maybe not.

GUEST: Thank you as always! :B
