iOS animate parent view's bounds changes child view bounds

Question

I am trying to create a view animation similar to facebook's expanding X when removing a message in the iPhone version. The problem I am facing right now is, I am animating the parent view's bounds using core animation and the resulting subviews animations are animating with it. Ultimately what I want is the parent view to animate and the subview to remain unanimated, in the center of it's parent's view. Below is the code I am using.

@interface FCXView : UIView

@end

@implementation FCXView

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {

        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        self.layer.opacity = 1.0f;
        self.alpha = 1.0f;
        self.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingNone;
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGFloat lineWidth2 = 1.0f;
    CGContextSetLineWidth(context, lineWidth2);
    CGFloat red[4] = {1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.9f};
    CGContextSetStrokeColor(context, red);
    CGContextBeginPath(context);
    CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 17.0f, 15.0f);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 28.0f, 30.0f);
    CGContextStrokePath(context);
    CGContextBeginPath(context);
    CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 28.0f, 15.0f);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 17.0f, 30.0f);
    CGContextStrokePath(context);

    CGContextFillPath(context);
}

@end

@interface FCRoundView ()

        self.multipleTouchEnabled = NO;
        self.autoresizesSubviews = NO;

        [self setupXView];
    }
    return self;
}

    // Load X
    FCXView *xView = [[FCXView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 45, 45)];
    [self addSubview:xView];
}

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    CGFloat lineWidth = 5;
    CGRect borderRect = CGRectInset(rect, lineWidth * 0.5, lineWidth * 0.5);

    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
    CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 175.0/255.0, 175.0/255.0, 175.0/255.0, 0.6);
    CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 5.0);
    CGContextFillEllipseInRect (context, borderRect);
    CGContextStrokeEllipseInRect(context, borderRect);
}
