Talon stared at Yu with his breath coming unevenly and his pupils blown wide enough to make the color in his mismatched eyes look almost swallowed by shock. He looked, for perhaps the first time since Yu had known him, entirely unguarded, as though the revelation had struck him so deeply that even the instincts which usually held his face together had failed to reassemble in time.
"You… were pregnant…"
His voice is small.
"With my child."
Yu nodded, and that simple confirmation seemed to shake Talon more than any denial could have done. His hands began to tremble visibly, and Yu could see the movement of his throat as he swallowed against something far larger than surprise.
"That's not…"
He shakes his head.
