Hector widened his eyes at the new information, shootign up himself, he looked down between Cassian's legs and saw his pants quickly getting soaked. "So this is it...?" he whispered. "I'll fetch a towel." he said climbing off the bed, only to bring back a huge pile of towels.

"Just in case we need more...." he scratched his head innocently, coming back to Cassian. He lifted him up from the bed entirely to lay out the towels under his bum, huggin the pregnant man close to him.
