Third Person Pov
Brian couldn't hide his shock after hearing Emerald outrightly talk about Marlene's pregnancy. She was the last person he wanted to find out and the fact that she knew and hadn't said anything in all this while was very surprising to him and also quite scary.
"Aren't you going to say anything or did the cat finally get your tongue?" Emerald asked, with an annoyed look on her face.
She wouldn't be surprised if Brian was trying to think of a lie to tell her right now since he probably wasn't expecting her to know that he had gotten his lover pregnant and now that she caught him off guard, he was probably trying to think of the best excuse to redeem himself.
