"I'm pregnant."
A contraction and a word uttered together. They only took one breath, yet their consequences were inapprehensible.
"M-Mattie? What'd you say?"
He didn't believe what he'd heard. They had been quietly eating together when the bomb fell from his lips.
A shaky breath. "I'm pregnant, Gil." There it was again. With a name. HIS name.
"Are you…are you really?"
A pause.
"Yeah."
…
His reaction would decide everything: the next day, the next three weeks, the next nine months, another person's life.
His reaction was simple.
His smile and tears said enough.
Yes, I'm still alive. I don't honestly know where this came from. I felt like writing PruCan and I wanted to pay homage to my current fic. So here's this! I don't think I'll continue it, but I may if I get enough people wanting more. Maybe I'll do other pairings? Reviews are welcome!
