My anxiety only increased.

“Griffin,” I said firmly, “Tell me what’s wrong.”

His eyes opened, and I expected to see concern or worry, but he looked…happy?

One of his hands came to cup the back of my head and the other settled on my stomach. “Little fox,” he murmured, his voice full of emotion. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. “You’re pregnant.”

It felt as if every bit of air left my lungs all at once.

“What?”

“You can…” My brain felt like it was full of white noise, one word playing on repeat: pregnant. Baby. Mini–Clark or mini–Griffin.
