"I never once said that I didn't want the child. Tell me when those exact words "I don't want a baby" came from my lips if those are words that I spoke. The only words that ever came from my lips pertaining to the whole situation was I wasn't sure how I felt about it. But that is not the same thing as saying that I didn't want it. I have never been with a woman that I actually care about, I've never thought about child because I've lived in a world at war all the time." Hayden was speaking before he was stating that she could do what she was wanting. "I guess I apologize for just being a horrible person because I wasn't sure how to respond right away to learning that I was going to be a father. Did you think that you, was the pregnant one, was the only one that was allowed to be shocked by the news? Do you believe that I'm just now allowed to be shocked at all? Shockingly enough.... Men are allowed to be shocked by the news of pregnancy." After that he was just shaking his head a bit and was stating that he needed to be going to discuss stuff with his council about the upcoming war.
No he had known some of the woman within the kingdom that had berated their husbands because they had been shocked by the news, acting as though the men weren't suppose to be shocked. No to some of them the fathers were just supposed to tell them that that was exciting news and just start pampering them right away.
