"I'm pregnant..." Helen repeated herself, taking a small step back after no answer came from her husband.
The air felt heavy as she stared into his hollow eyes, now starting to think that her fears would come true.
Helen's words came like a truck for Luciel and his mind went blank.
That news, while beautiful indeed, just didn't feel real in this dark world.
'So that's what she meant when she said for us...' Luciel thought, finally decoding the meaning behind her previous sentence. She also meant for him to fight for the baby's future.
Hearing his wife repeat herself brought Luciel back to reality.
He was about to speak, but no words came out.
There were so many questions he wanted to ask, so many thoughts and emotions, that he didn't know where to start.
Joy, fear, shock, confusion and so much more were mixed inside him.
