“Callie’s pregnant.” Mark weakly uttered, refusing his gaze from averting you. He should sound happy, but it only came out more defeated as he as he analysed your reaction.

It was a slip up, an accident, yet he wanted to call it everything else but a mistake. His nerves rose as your confusion only grew, granting you a guilty look that could only be described as dilapidated.

You caught on to the look in his eyes, you always do. your previous happy reaction had a small sigh escaping his lips, yet the guilt in his stomach only growing stronger as you stopped believing the best in him. You knew what he did before he even said it, was he truly that predictable?

He knew you knew, and now it was out in the open he didn’t know how to act. The words started spilling out before he even thought about them; “i saw the heartbeat today…please, is there any way we can-“ his breath hitched in his throat, shutting down any utterance his voice could continue.
