If any words could have been a cold dagger in his heart it was those. Raphael visibly flinched when she said she had been pregnant. Raphael rolled over to his back and stared at the ceiling. As if the ceiling had suddenly become so much more interesting. He didn't have the heart to look her in the eye, not after that. What could you honestly say to that? He didn't know. She hadn't told him until just now.
Raphael turned back on his side to face her. Slowly, his eyes moved up her form starting at her hips and slowly traveling until they made their way to her face. He sighed softly and motioned for her to come over to him on the bed. He just wanted to sleep. To hold her. He just wanted for this weird day to be over. They could explore the park together in the morning. He had no words for her bombshell news.
Raphael: Come here mami.
He said softly. He wasn't sure if he would have made a good father before the outbreak, but it would've been something he'd have considered. It was just, this world was cruel. Cold... Dangerous. He didn't want to bring a child into a life where it was mostly likely going to be ripped apart and eaten. It just didn't seem fair to the child. Raphael's eyes moved over her as he laid there. He even smiled a little despite the grim news he just received. It was a tired smile said 'I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, when you needed to tell me this two months ago, but I'm here now. I'm really here.' Or at least the way his face read in the fading light pouring in from the window.
Raphael: I'm sorry. I didn't know...
He said. He almost seemed to be far off in thought as he said the words. He had a lot of his mind.
