How could she be pregnant with my child?

The air in his lungs freed itself like prisoners during an unplanned escape as the horrid reality of her pregnancy became clear to him. He staggered back, his body seizing in a brutal grip of shock.

"She... she... she..." The words felt foreign on his tongue, suffocating him before they could fully form. A sharp, piercing pain shot through his shoulders as his muscles constricted, trapping him in place like a statue carved from agony. His eyes, wide and haunted, locked onto the pregnancy test discarded on the floor like a silent accusation.

"There's a probability you won't or likely get a lady pregnant, Mr. Dragons." The cold recollection of those words clawed at his mind. The doctor's voice had been clinical, detached, offering him nothing but a verdict of despair. Yet here it was—undeniable proof that life had defied the odds.
