"Because I'm getting married and she is pregnant," he said bluntly, the word "pregnant" mouthed instead of spoken... reluctantly, and with his eyes off to the side. If she looked close enough, she might catch the glint of moisture held in check, maybe a butt ton of fear when he did look at her. There were no lies in those big browns, no bad motives, but there was a maturity that hadn't been seen in him until more recently. "I love her very much and I could never abandon my own child," he said in a soft self defense, "child" being mouthed as well. "A-and it's just the right thing to do." He had never been in a state such as that. He had a flair for the dramatic but never about things of more delicate natures such as this situation.
