The Fall of Wei and Shu
Chapter 4
Lu Xun walked into Sun Jian's tent, nodding to Gan Ning as he entered. The commander grinned and handed the two men a scroll, nodding for them to hurry up and open the message. Gan Ning leaned down slightly to read over his shorter brother-in-law's shoulder, his eyes getting wider while he read.
Finishing the letter, Lu Xun felt the note slide out of his hands and land on the grass with a soft crunch. He blinked a few times, his eyes and posture never changing as he absorbed the news. Gan Ning crowed happily and slapped the younger man on the back so hard that his hat flew off and he stumbled into his adopted father-in-law.
"I…don't know what I'm supposed to do…"
Sun Jian sighed and shook his head as the pirate faceplanted at Lu Xun's words. The pirate glared as he stood, dragging the shorter man up off his feet until he was eye level with him, his voice a low growl.
"I'll tell you what you do. You finish this battle and go home and see her. We all will. And you will do whatever she asks you to."
Lu Xun, his face turning red from lack of air, nodded vigorously, gasping when he was set down and released.
"I'm still shocked though. I'm going to be a father…"

Sorry this one was so short guys, but I wanted to put in their reactions in. However, not being male, I don't know how guys react to learning that their wife is pregnant. So, if you have suggestions, I am all ears!
