“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.”
