His brow furrows ever-so-slightly as she takes his hand like he's really concentrating on her words. And then his eyes go wide as she places his hand on her belly. Another soul. Another soul!
"You're pregnant!" he hollers and then slaps a hand over his mouth to stop the sound.
He's shaking like a leaf, knees knocking together, but there's a smile so wide on his face it could split him from ear to ear.
"Ava, Pumpkin, this is wonderful news. We've hoped for so long--"
Suddenly the blood drains from his face. He fumbles for the leather band tied around his neck and pulls out the ring threaded on it. With shaking fingers, he attempts to untie the strap. "I'll wear the ring every month. It will be all right."
