"I'm not kidding," she says, giving him a faint smile that's not quite a smile since it doesn't reach her eyes. No, there's worry in her eyes for all that she's trying to hide it. "But I'm also not without several options and a couple plans to work with."
And she ought to let him wrap his head around this more but she's not sure she could bear to hear some fumbled attempt to either get out of this or an even more awkward attempt to reluctantly agree to be part of this.
"I've already spoken with my family and naturally they'll be helping me throughout the pregnancy. Making sure that the child and I get all of the proper nutrients and care, and so forth. They've also stated that I'm welcome to move back home to the estate if I'd like but I've told them that for the time being I'm content to stay here," she continues. "So, I'll be reassessing the space my apartment has to see if it's still the ideal space for me."
She's rushed on without giving him a chance to speak, without including him in her plans because that laugh he'd made, the panic in his eyes is something she's hoping to soothe just a little.
