Callian sat at his office desk, his fingers tapped rhythmically against the polished wood.
He seemed fazed out… far from the spreadsheets and contracts spread before him.
Across from him, Rylan lounged in a chair, scrolling through his phone.
"You've been unusually quiet today," Rylan remarked, setting his phone down.
Callian glanced at him, a small, uncharacteristic smile tugged at his lips. "Eira's pregnant."
Rylan froze. "What?"
"Keep your voice down," Callian warned.
Rylan leaned forward, his eyes wide with shock and excitement. "You're serious?"
"Dead serious," Callian said, the smile growing. "But you can't tell anyone. Not yet."
"Not even Mother?"
"Especially not Leina," Callian replied sharply.
Rylan leaned back, crossing his arms. "Well, congratulations. That's… wow. You're gonna be a dad."
"I know," Callian said softly, almost to himself. "It feels unreal."
