“He would be stuck in a room just like you. He wouldn’t have a chance to get back with River and their baby either.” The doctor explains.
Zach’s eyes go wide for a second as he sputters for words. “What baby?” He finally spits out.
I watch as the doctor’s head hangs low before he sighs. “River is pregnant with your child, Zach. That’s why I did those tests before.”
Zach looks to me in question and I nod.
“Does she know it’s mine?” He whispers.
The doctor nods his head. “Yes, I’m pretty sure she does but I haven’t told her that exactly.”
Zach’s head bows as his eyes close. “A baby, I can’t believe it.” He whispers to himself.
Moments later he bursts into tears before he looks up. “I have to see her. I have to talk to her, at least hold her for a few minutes if I can.”
The doctor nods. “I’ll see what I can do.”
