"What?" Xander asked, puzzled.

Before he could voice his confusion, Ronald had already started walking away, leaving Xander frozen in his tracks, his blood seemingly turning to ice.

Baby? He glanced at Stella's flat stomach. "You're pregnant? Whose is it?"

"Are you coming or not?" Ronald stopped again, throwing Xander a dangerous look.

The conversation Ronald had just had with his mother in the study made it clear to him that Xander still harbored feelings for Stella.
