"I am always honest with you and I always put you first in the decisions I have made. I also respect all of your decisions, but…" Lexus' hold of October's hands tightened for a bit, a little tense, before continuing, increasing the tension in the air.

"What is it?" October asked, raising her brow. She was a bit annoyed about how Lexus was going about and running in circles. She already had an idea of what it was but the man was acting too tense with all of this and seemed a little too uneasy. This was not the usual him. To think that he would be too uncomfortable about this.

Lexus tightened his jaws, took a deep breath to gather his courage to say the things that were hard for him to say in front of his wife.

"Please apply for an early maternity leave."

"…?" October was at a loss for words as her mind went blank for a split second. She blinked her eyes a few times before she came out of her trance.

Boy she did not see that one coming.
