Lucien Winslov
(Grits his teeth)
Lucien Winslov
I need some air.
Lucien storms past Rowan and Jeremy, his steps heavy and sharp as he heads toward their bedroom.
Jeremy shrinks back slightly, trembling, his hands shaking as he clutches the hem of his shirt.
Jeremy Winslov
I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…
Jeremy Winslov
Alphas don’t get pregnant
Jeremy Winslov
This can’t be happening
Jeremy Winslov
It was once… just once…
Rowan Callahan Hudson
Hey, hey… breathe.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
I’m right here.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
You’re not alone, okay?
Rowan Callahan Hudson
We’ll figure this out.
Jeremy leans into Rowan, tears slipping quietly down his cheeks.
After a moment, Rowan gently squeezes Jeremy’s shoulder and speaks quietly.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
I’m going to check on Lucien.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
Will you be alright?
Jeremy Winslov
(nods, still trembling)
Rowan heads down the hallway toward their bedroom.
Lucien is sitting on the edge of the bed, his hands clasped tightly, jaw clenched.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
Lucien… you can’t stay like this.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
You’re shutting him out, but he needs you.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
Jeremy needs you.
Lucien Winslov
He’s my little brother.
Lucien Winslov
This shouldn’t be happening.
Lucien Winslov
Not like this.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
You’re scared. I get it.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
But Jeremy’s scared too.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
And right now, he’s broken and unsure.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
You need to be his rock, Lucien.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
Like you always are.
Lucien Winslov
(closing his eyes, running a hand through his hair)
Lucien Winslov
I don’t know how.
Lucien Winslov
This changes everything.
Lucien Winslov
How can I protect him now?
Lucien Winslov
How do I protect him and the baby?
Rowan Callahan Hudson
(Takes Lucien’s hand)
Rowan Callahan Hudson
You protect him by standing beside him, not running away.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
We’ll figure it out, together.
Rowan Callahan Hudson
We’ll always do.
Lucien exhales slowly, the tension easing just a bit as Rowan’s words sink in.
