taking one of the mugs off of the tray, eliza sets her laptop to the side ( which is very unlike her ) and shakes her head. it’s obvious that the emotion she’s feeling isn’t JOY, although she feels somewhat guilty about that. “i’m pregnant.” she murmurs, taking a sip of the coffee as she fights back the urge to cry. she’s not sure why she’s so sad about it – but she felt like she wasn’t at a place in her life or career where a child would thrive. two was enough. PLENTY. her eyes finally find their way back up to axel as she offers him a shrug. “i don’t know, babe.”
axel raised an eyebrow as she shifted the laptop. okay so this was SERIOUS-serious. hearing the words that came out of her mouth, he stared blankly at her for a moment. it took him a few moments for the words to really sink in. “you.. you’re... okay..” he exhaled through pursed lips as he gauged her reaction. the idea of three kids started to sink in as he realized she really didn’t seem excited. “that’s kind of a surprise.. uh..” he rubbed his head and looked at her. “okay.. it’s okay!” getting up from his side at the table he walked over to the side of her chair and crouched down just to be closer to her. “three kids. its not the end of the world. i mean... its not like we cant afford it, or afford help.” trying to ease the strange tension that hung in the air he placed his hand over hers. “what are you feeling right now? are you okay?”
