"spent passions"...nice use of the phrase.
If it was only the one time and then Maxwell got pregnant, then Andrew would have felt differently, but Maxwell was currently standing before him, filled with his spent passions and was telling him to his face that the pills might not work.

Oh wow. That sucks, and products change their formulas/suppliers all the time, so what might be safe one time suddenly isn't. I was reading something the other day how the antibodies from gluten can stick around for like 6 months with cieliac. I have a lot of food intolerances/allergies and gluten/lectins is one of them. My doctors have not been helpful at all and elimination diets are my rule of thumb. My diet is super restrictive to physically/mentally feel my best, which leaves me feeling emotionally depleated and socially isolated. Short verison, I understandand I hope you feel better soon.
This was so like Andrew. Get upset, calm down, get upset again, but calm down enough to deal with the original issue.

Acidental poisoning... I have accidentally given myself food poisoning before. It was so miserable. Hope it wasn't anything more serious than this and that you feel better soon.

What a sweet chapter.
What did he smell like? What was he doing? Why was Maxwell's scent wrapping around him like a snake?

Puppy feet... oh my, is this foreshadowing? Will Andrew fill out to fit those feet? Will they need to widen doorways for him? They will already need to raise the lintels. Is that a workplace accommodation to prevent bumped heads and bruised shoulders?
"Exactly." Amir's grandfather agreed. "Look at him? A giant puppy. All big feet and hasn't grown into his own body yet. Only the cruelest of people would ignore him." Andrew wasn't used to being praised like this, and he wanted to just cover his face and hide.

What a tear filled, tender chapter full of beautiful reminiscence and future hopes. I hope you found this cathartic during this difficult time.
"Oh my. I've got to make a note of this!" Michael passed his nearly full flute off to a waiter and pulled the notepad that Andrew was very familiar with out of his pocket. He would have laughed if he wasn't reeling from the new information. He couldn't be normal, could he?

He's 28... at 35 they start classifing preganacies as geriatric due to all the "risk" factors regardless of your overall health. As in what OLD people medicine gets called! I wish I was even joking. Reproductive medicine is a cruel, cruel world! So don't wait too long Maxy or your docs will make you feel like a dried up old fossil.
"I'm fine for now. I do not plan to have unsafe sex with you any time soon, Andrew. I'm still young." Andrew nodded, relief in his expression. Maxwell continued to laugh silently to himself.

So Maxy is getting the sober colors Andy wishes he was wearing... wait, is Andy the accent piece? The arm candy... oh CalyB nice touch!
"Yeah, you tell 'em Max!" Ben's encouragement broke up the moment, and Andrew started laughing. Shaking his head, he began to take his clothes off in earnest, glancing at the lavender suit with a little less trepidation. At least he'd look good with Maxwell in his slate grey suit, right?

Accent pieces are great color starters. Lapel pins/points, tie bars, pocket squares, sweaters under somber jackets...
"You look very handsome." Maxwell told him and Andrew was cooked. That was it. He was going to wear colours from now on. Just…not as often as he would wear neutrals.

Neko puppy Andy Baby...
"Yup! It's not my favourite, but I don't hate it. We found that my prostate is a little deep, so it takes me a little more stimulation, but I like it." Andrew was grinning at the way Maxwell was looking up and down his body. Maxwell better be careful, or he might forget about the reception entirely and race them off to their rooms.
