Admittedly he was surprised by Arthur's sudden outburst, jumping a bit when he raised his voice. He wanted to explain a bit better, but it was obvious the other was infuriated, continuing on his rant regardless of any interjection James tried to give. He shut his mouth and stared, the accusations coming from emotion rather than logic; it was far more complex than Arthur made it out to be. After all, it hadnt been James's intention to simply run away without a word, he'd only been waiting for the right -
'Look at you!', for some reason, that hit a nerve with James. It wasn't just the typical aspects of the pregnancy weighing him down; he'd definitely been unprepared for the changes to his body- specifically the growth of his belly. He'd grown admittedly insecure, often feeling too big and unattractive with the swell of his tummy awkwardly jutting out from a small frame. He took the other's words as disgust, covering his mouth to stifle a sharp breath drawn as tears ran down his cheeks once more. "I understand that! Don't you think I...i mean, you're the father of it, of course you have the right to know! I was planning on telling you but when you brought up this trip you wanted to go on, it /hurt/, it hurts knowing I'm just holding you back! Of course I made plans for delivering the baby; I have no idea how to do it - /do you/?", he asked indignantly, standing quickly. "I assumed you'd leave me because you're /not mine/. Arthur, you took me in your bed without even having been married - without a relationship, for that matter. What impression is that supposed to leave me with? Did you think about what I'd wanted? Did it dawn on you that i lost my virginity to a man who'd never even told me he loved me before we had sex?", he was full of bitterness now, fueled by Arthur's own turmoil. He wiped his eyes furiously before shaking his head, waddling slightly towards the door, suddenly feeling stuffy and needing fresh air. The odd flutter in his womb had returned, his rising heart rate upsetting the baby that rested within.
