She pushed him away abruptly, her resolution absolute, and proceeded to dress herself. 

"Did you agree?" Dennis persisted, seeking an answer. 

She remained silent as she put the clothes on. 

"Why are you ignoring me?" he pressed.

"I am asking you; did you agree?" he demanded. 

"NO!" she yelled, her frustration reaching a breaking point. "I will have this child whether you like it or not; prepare to be a father." She forcefully removed her hand from his grip and slammed the door shut behind her as she exited the room. 

Dennis, left alone, kicked the door. "Is she really going to have that child? She seriously can't," he muttered, ruffling his hand through the hair.
