It was about two months after the family reunion and Tord was in his apartment bathroom looking down at his fate "C'mon... Let's go..." Tord stared down at his pregnancy test. "Sweet apa...!" He exclaimed. Tord waddled over to the still sleeping Tom.
"Tom?" "Tom! Tom woke up." Tord started to get annoyed "I have something important I want to say."
"Just text me..." Tom groggily replied.
"THOMAS I'M SERIOUS" Tord snapped.
"OKAY OKAY!" Tom, now very awake.
"Geez, when you call me Thomas it means I'm in great danger."
"You bet." Tord replied now properly pissed.  
Tom yawned "May I take a shower and do other things before you ruin the rest of my day?"
"Yes it would be good, I think." Tord sat down on the couch. Tom went into their bathroom and started to shower, Tord was debating how he was going to break the news to Tom that he was pregnant. Before Tord knew it Tom was out of the shower.
"Wow I'm feeling much better now!" Tom announced. "Well what is it you wanted to let me know?" Tord stared up at Tom worried.
"T-Tom I'm pregnant, I just took a pregnancy test and..."
"TORD OH TORD OH MY GOD TORD THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE YOU'VE MADE ME THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH" Tom picked up Tord and gave him the tightest hug he has every experienced in his life.
Tom sat Tord down, "Oh no- I didn't hurt you, did i Tord?"
"No, Tom you didn't but that's not this isn't the problem."
"Problem? You mean because we're cousins you think our baby might have some problems, right?"
"That wasn't what I meant."
"I don't understand-"
"Tom please! Don't make anything worse for us."
"Tord what are you talking about..."
"Tom" Tord started to tear up "I.... I don't want this child!"
Tom was horrified by this. "No!" "I-I can't believe you said that!"
"Tom hear me out!"
"PLEASE TELL ME I HEARD YOU WRONG! WHY TORD WHY?"
"TOM LET ME EXPLAIN!"
"Please explain yourself, why don't you want our baby?"
Tord was annoyed "There is no 'baby' yet! I'm just in my first month of pregnancy."
"And you decided on your own that this is gonna be the last month, ain't you?"
"I-- Tom, Let's talk about this like adults... Right?" Tord was starting to get overwhelmed "...Right?"
"Ok. Tell your tale"
"Thanks. Well... at first I believed you couldn't get me pregnant,"
"Yes i know there is cases of incest where there is children, But there were all pretty rare and never involved two men. So I stupidly believed that I wouldn't have to worry about it. But how wrong I was..."
"I still don't understand why you-"
"BECAUSE I'M AFRAID" Tord broke.
"Afraid of what?" Tom said with an amount of anger
"In part I fear our child may be... Some sort of freak."
"You really think so?"
"Well why not? It isn't impossible."
"Well you don't know for sure."
"Nobody knows and it scares me!"
"So what you're saying is 'Hey Tom! Even if you can get me pregnant I don't want to have children with you." Tom said in a mocking tone. "Did i hit that mark Tord?"
"Tom, I should have had this talk with you sooner and I'm really sorry for not doing  so and you have no idea how hard it is for me to tell you these things."
"That's it? You're afraid. I should have known you were going to say this Tord. I thought I knew you but I guess I was wrong."
"YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT TO ME! YOU KNOW WHO I AM YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT YOU KNEW THAT FROM THE DAY YOU MET ME!"
"Yeah i do know you. It seems like you would even kill our baby because you're afraid"
Tord had tears rushing down his face. He couldn't take it anymore. He stormed out of the room and out of the apartment and before Tom could react, he was gone.
