"So? What's bothering you right now?" Jayden asked very softly, trying not to sound urgent. "Is there anything you want?"
Apple bit her lip and didn't answer right away, so Jayden threw up a few possibilities.
"Did you think I would run away after finding out you were pregnant? Oh, honey, you should kick me out if that's what you have in mind..." Jayden kissed her head and then looked her straight in the eyes when he confessed this. "I wouldn't even go anywhere if you kicked me out. It takes more effort than that, love."
However, when she heard this, Apple actually looked like she was about to cry. Her eyes were teary and her lips were trembling and this made Jayden panic, because Apple had never looked like this before. What was with her? Did something happen? Did she not want this child?
That last thought left Jayden speechless, he didn't know what kind of reaction he would give if that was what Apple wanted.
