Her tensed up muscles didn’t go unnoticed, and he knew for a fact that it was because of him. He tilted his head down, and stared at his sneakers before her voice drew his attention back to her. When she moved to try and sit up, he removed his hands from his pockets to assist her, placing a hand on her back and the other on her shoulder. As she explained what had happened, Caden found himself glancing down at the bump that was now her stomach.
For the first time, Caden didn’t just see her as just ‘being pregnant’, he saw that bump as a baby. He didn’t know why, but for the longest time, it hadn’t really been full processed that there was something growing in there; someone growing in there.
Had that really never talked about this? Had they just…gone through the motions? Fuck, he really was a brute. Was that the first time the baby had kicked? Did this happen a lot? Was she used to it? He should have known all of these things, but he didn’t, and all of these realizations were hitting him at once, and…-
“…does it hurt…?”
The question was quiet as his eyes traveled up to meet hers, swallowing roughly because he felt a little bit stupid for asking. Was he allowed to just suddenly take an interest without her getting pissed off? He should have asked questions a long time ago. He should have been just as excited as she was, he should have been a lot of things.
