It didn't matter how suddenly worried Cael was, when he saw the open invitation for Marshall's hand he took it with no hesitation. After they headed back towards the beach house he started feeling a little guilty for keeping something from Marshall when the man apologized. It wasn't his fault and Cael didn't want him to feel that way, so he squeezed his hand and turned to look at Marshall. "I know," he assured him, brushing his thumb against the hand in his. "You're just trying to help and I appreciate it. We'll figure things out no matter what." He promised himself he would tell Marshall, but only if by some odd chance of fate the test came out telling them he was pregnant. If it was a negative than Marshall didn't need to worry himself for no reason like Cael was doing now.
