Ocean's words didn't really settle the nervousness that had coiled within Desmond. He'd been having a great time with Ocean, sure, but having a baby together certainly could throw a wrench in things. He didn't want things to change, maybe into something more serious in the future, but not like this. Desmond would be lying if he said it didn't scare the shit out of him. Meeting Ocean's eyes he leaned forward for another kiss before slumping back against the booth they were both sitting in now. He took a big sigh to calm himself, heart racing in his chest even after his worries had been shared. "Still," he started, voice low though he didn't turn his face away from Ocean. "Could be bug. I, uh, bought a test but I haven't had the balls to take it yet." A nervous laugh escaped him before he quieted as the waitress returned with their drinks. Once she left, Desmond played with the straw in his water for moment, twirling it between the ice and listening to the solid water tinkling against the glass. "I just...I didn't want to feel like there was something keeping you with me if you didn't want to. That's why it was easier to just not say anything to you cause it felt like it was just going to jump out my throat every time I opened my mouth." Which it pretty much had, if he were being honest. "I'm sorry though. I should have said something."
