Relieved?

When Mason got back to the house, he found Ava sitting in the living room, looking sad and staring into space, a quilt wrapped around her shoulders. 

"Hey, a penny for your thoughts?" He came and sat beside her. Ava's response was a sigh, wrapping her arms around herself. 

"What's wrong?" 

"I took another pregnancy test.."

Mason sighed. "Okay…. what was the result?" 

"It was negative…" She sounded broken.

"Oh…" Mason released a harsh breath. 

"Is that relief I hear in your voice?" Ava moved slightly away from him. "Are you relieved that the test was negative?"

"Of course not…"

"You don't want me to get pregnant?" She slightly shook her head. "Wait a minute, have you been pretending to be supporting me all this while? Do you even want a baby?"
