[One hand disentangles itself from gripping at Remus', lifting to try to touch at his cheek. There's an earnestness in his expression-- and certainly love. He doesn't know what to say that will make this better, but he just wants the fear in his partner's eyes to go away. He wants him to be happy.
There is so, so much more that has to change before that's even a lasting possibility, though, and it kills him.]
We don't know if the baby's yours. We don't know if they'll inherit your condition if they did. We also don't know if maybe-- we'll lose, and the baby will grow up in a horrible world none of us wanted. Or maybe we're all going to die tomorrow and maybe it won't matter. Remus, everything about our lives now is a risk, but we're still here. We're still loving one another and trying to be happy because the future is worth it, if it comes.
