It was obvious she expected him to speak, so he did when she trailed off, not sure what would come out of his mouth. She was saying exactly what he had expected, so why was he surprised? The doctor had just confirmed it, there was never a pregnancy without any risk, and why would she want to take that risk again? The first time had been traumatizing enough. This was her decision alone to make, he had no right to persuade her into anything. Especially when he wasn't even sure he wanted it.
But that was not what she was saying. She was starting with a whole lot of other stuff that in the end had nothing to do with them, personally, with their decision, her decision. How was she expecting him to even start his making up his mind about this when she didn't?
He wasn't getting angry, he was feeling far too off to project any kind of feeling to the outside right now. But at least that little irritation gave him enough composure for to finally look at her. He had to look at her, he had to see the answer in her eyes before he could start to decide how he felt about this. Not that it mattered. But he wanted to know what to expect.
