(I kinda couldn't as I had to finish packing to come home for break. But I did crash once I got home though.)

Leo sighed and ran his finger along the rim of his coffee cup as he tried to formulate his response.

"I know you don't see--let alone love--me the same way you saw/loved your girlfriend," Leo began softly assuming Brayden's wolf-like hearing would be able to pick up what he is saying, "but if I go back to my family while I'm pregnant, they'll probably kill me along with the babies. If they don't, they'd either toss me out into the cold thus putting the babies in danger, cut me open to get the babies out in a forced abortion, or find some way to force me to miscarry the babies. Neither of those situations are ideal."

He then sighed again as he refused to look at Brayden for what Leo feared he might see in Brayden's face and eyes.

"Seeing as I can't go back just yet, especially without Trevor, would it be alright if I hung around here until the babies are born? I-If I'm able to leave when they're born, I'll leave and let you take care of them. I have no idea what will happen the next time whatever happened last night happens again, but I'd rather chance that than chance going back to my family while pregnant with werewolf babies. Who knows how my family would react to that?"
