[ WP ] A 25 year old reacts to his girlfriend admitting that she is pregnant . A true , honest-to-god reaction .

He looked hard at her for a minute, not saying a word, eyes tightened at the corners, jaw clenched. She shifted under his stare, her arms crossing just above the belly that'd soon start to swell with the baby he had n't dreamed of since the doctor told him three years ago about how some men just ca n't do what she just said had been done. 
 
 `` How?'' The word grated out, his lips opening up just enough to throw the sound into her face and then snapping shut again. She stepped back a little.

 He turned, grabbed the same coat that he'd worn all over the world and back to her, and walked out into the heat, leaving the door open behind him. 
 
 She stared at the floor until the random knots started to form patterns and she started trying to think back to how they got there. Was that scratch from when he came in from the bar and knocked the table leg off? Was that mark from when they'd tried to move her dad's enormous loveseat through the front door and dropped it three times in the same spot? She did n't know. But eventually she made up a story for each one -- something that had to do with her and him and unhappiness -- and then she shut the door.
