"I'm hungry." Ruslan said, we was in the car listening to music and my seat was back while my feet was prop up on his lap. His seat was back a little bit as he causally was massaging my feet. I owe katia a favor because I thought she was kidding.

"You just ate." I said wiggling my toes.

"Ima big man." He said and we share a laugh. I stare at himself for a while taking in a few details and something click.

"Are you fully tatted?" I asked him and he turned his attention from the window to me.

"Yeah."

"Legs and all?" I sit up a bit.

"Family tradition, if we were to have a reunion you'll see all then mens in the family fully tatted. Expect for the kids of course." He said 

"Oh." I lean my seat up some and held my hand out. "May I see your arm?" I asked and he stop rubbing my feet with land his right arm to me. I look over his tattoos and trace it, it was done really nice. If I'm being honest I always wanted a tattoo but growing up in a strict household that was a no go. I smile a little seeing two veins showing a little, for some reason I find that attractive I don't know why.

"Question." He broke the silence and I look at him. 

"Hm?" 

"Might be early for me to ask but the way you treat my son as if he's yours. I always had the question in the back of my head. Do you have any kids?" He asked and I tense up a little.

"No." I shyly said and I felt his gaze so I kept focus tracing over his tattoo. 

"We don't have to have the conversation if it makes you uncomfortable." He said and I look at him raising an eyebrow. 

"How do you know if I'm comfortable or not?" I asked and he shrugged. 

"I notice shit too, you get tense when you in uncomfortable situations. You bad at controlling your body language." He spoke and I hit his arm.

"I didn't ask for the truth." I said and he laughed. "But no I'm find with having this conversation." I said and he nod his head.

"Makar talks about you a lot too so that's why I asked." He said and I smiled, awe little boy a bragger. I'm proud. 

"Are you considering having more?" I asked and starting to feel kind if nervous a little.

"Depends on the right person, but I would like two. I want a girl." He said and I try my hardest not to smile, with someone who has his attitude I would assume he wants nothing but boys. "What about you?" He asked and I shrug stop tracing his arm and leaned on him.

"Oh I can't have kids." I said casually and he nod his head for some reason I felt the need to explain. "My last relationship we try, do to stress and constant arguing was lowkey causing a risky pregnancy but in all seriousness I think it's just infertility. I don't have trouble getting pregnant I have trouble staying pregnant." I mumble and felt him put his arm around me and I relaxed a little.

"You had a miscarriage." He said and I nodded my head.

"He wanted to try again I wasn't really for it. I politely ask him to wait till I'm fully over it." I shift a little taking a deep breath."but apparently I a year or two was too long for him. The relationship was really toxic after the miscarriage and one day I just snap and left. I was getting tired of it no one wants to wake up and argue or go to sleep and argue. Especially hearing you kilt your own child, I just couldn't take the blame anymore." I said zoning out the window.

"It takes two and from what I just heard you basically didn't get a break during your pregnancy. " he said and I pulled away sitting up.

"I didn't I did everything no help at all the shit was irritating and he went through a whole personality change so everything happen to fast. Usually I would thought a man would become more responsible finding out he was having a child on the way." I said resting my head against the window and look at the time. "Its 2:30, Makar gets out soon." I said and he stared the car.
