Reno who usually had an upbeat and care-free demeanor was absolutely frozen. He couldn’t say or do anything. Nothing he did was going to happen. He opened his mouth to try to speak and no words came out. How could this have happened? Well…. perhaps it was that one night night they had while on that one specific mission. He wasn’t all too sure. Finally after a good few minutes he cleared his throat and placed his hands in his pockets.
”A-A baby. So… I’m going to be a father.”
It was as if the world had begun spinning, and the ground was becoming unstable as he found himself flat on a hard surface. Reno, the 2nd in command Turk, had passed out cold. The realization struck him suddenly and he couldn’t find himself able to stand any longer.
gaia fucking damnit, reno. she watched as he went down, anger bubbling up in her chest. to satisfy it, she kicked his shin. she shouldn't have told him. she could've claimed it was someone else's, and even the thought of doing the cliched thing of just leaving, disppearing for a few years.
but some part of her told her she couldn't do that to him.
with a heavy, frustrated sigh, she turned to get a glass of cold water, and when she returned, she dumped it on his head, nudging him with her foot to get him to wake up. " reno. reno, wake up ! "
