(Wasn't it unexpected triplets? He didn't do an ultra sound nor made any appointment for prenatal care etc. because of being locked up by his ex. Aren doesn't know it's more than 1 baby I think.)
Aren closed his eyes, trying to take even breaths while he rested his head on Crux's shoulder, his breathing becoming uneven every time he felt a harsh kick against the gentle palm. They were probably too panicked to recognise who's hand it was, trying their best to defend themselves, unknowingly hurting their carrier in the process.
Even after a while, the infants were still actively kicking as the flinching male tried to understand was wrong, until he came up with the conclusion that they might be hungry. He wrapped his hand around Crux's while wincing as he looked up with a slight serious look. "Let's eat dinner." He rasped out, his expression turning back into a pained one as he felt more angry movement, but held back a sound that could possibly worry the other.
