Losing My Head

He waited patiently for what she wanted to tell him, noticing the way her frown seemed to deepen told him that it had to be something really, really bad...he seemed to be holding his breath now, the short seconds that lay between his question and her response felt like the longest minutes of his life. He was worried, very much worried about what it could be. Had she gotten in trouble by someone? Was he in trouble? The anxiety of the unknown gnawed at his insides. but when she said that it had been fun, he still didn't feel any of his worry drop away. "I am...fuck." He was confused, so very confused about what she was trying to tell him. The way she was...acting. but could he really think that about someone he didn't know very well?

"I'm pregnant."

What!? His eyes widened and his body froze in place. She...did he hear that right? She was pregnant!? Shit...he had not taken that possibility into account when they had done it...it hadn't even crossed his mind! He remained silent as his mind tried to wrap itself around this information. The thought of being a dad had crossed his mind every now and then, but he never thought it would happen this way...or any other way considering his attitude. He always thought himself unsociable, unapproachable even. He had given up on the idea of trying anything of the sort.

Finally after long moments of silence, the male stood. Quietly, he closed the distance between them. His neck wrapped over hers, head resting against her as he breathed in her scent. So that's what it was...he didn't exactly know what pregnant females smelled like, but now he knew. "If you think I'm going to let you go through this alone, then stop thinking it." Indeed. Even though he hadn't planned on it, and even though this was completely surprising, he wasn't going to run from it. He didn't want to. "If you'll let me...I would like to stay with you." He reached towards her ear, tongue swiping out to give her as comforting a lick as he could. He wondered what her response would be. He knew he had probably come off as bold about it, but wouldn't running away from it be worse? He thought so.
