[color=FCBA7C]“..my husband left that decision up to me…”[/color]

[color=yellow]"Husband?"[/color] A both confused and shocked look crossed Alexander's face at the knowledge. His sisters words stung, Alex had realized long ago that the two had been together. What he hadn't expected was that James had married his sister during their disappearance. It was surprisingly hurtful to realize that he would have most likely been the best man at said wedding at one time. Truly he wanted to be happy for his twin and former best friend, but there so many emotions flowing from today that it was hard to do so. It was clear the pair weren't planning to stay by the way Sombra continued talking. Though when she spoke of happiness Alex briefly wondered if she'd been unhappy before she and James took off, if that'd played a part in it. 

[color=ec008c]“... Are you pregnant… ?” [/color]

And it wasn't until their mother started speaking and asking the simple question that Alexander caught on to the what she was getting at. Leave it to the officer of the family to pick up on specific wording in a conversation. It was plain instinct that Alex's eyes wandered towards Sombra's abdomen as if to seek answer there before flicking back up to see the woman's expression. It wasn't an absolute dead giveaway but it was enough, the look on his sisters face reminding him of when they were younger and she'd been caught doing something.

A painful realization hit Alexander like a truck, one he wished he hadn't thought of. That his sister was happier without them. She had a job that kept her grounded, a husband, a home elsewhere, and potentially a child on the way. Sombra was living her life, and maybe leaving the Falls was the best thing she could have done. There was a small sense of surprising pride in seeing his sister in this light, the change she'd undergone after leaving Klamath Fall's had been for the better. That she had succeeded where he had failed. And who was he to hold her back?

The man took a step backwards towards the exit of the room speaking just before he turned to leave, [color=yellow]"You just let me know when you decide if I'm going to be a part of my nephew or nieces life, all right?"[/color] The words came out harsher than he'd initially intended, but he'd reached a limit and needed air. As he made for the exit of the room he mumbled something about work as some sort of excuse though it had been a lie. Alexander had called the shop on his way to the Inn and asked for the day off, just in case. Though he was considering going in anyways just to have something to keep his mind focused on.

Once in the hallway he spotted he'd spotted Arlo, sniffing about in a corner by the stairs. [color=yellow]"C'mon pup."[/color] He'd called, with a small pat on his leg as he passed. The small dog had raised it's head and started after him, the man scooping Arlo up before proceeding down the steps. Not setting Arlo down until they were outside the Inn, though despite everything he didn't leave and instead took a seat at the bench closest to the entrance of the building. Letting out a deep sigh as he ran a hand through his hair, eyes following Arlo to make sure he didn't stray too far though the pooch was simply sniffing the grass around the bench. Out of the many scenario's he'd played out involving Sombra and what he'd say or do when he saw her again...and Alex never thought it would go like this. He always felt too hurt by both her and James taking off that he'd never considered that it might have been what they needed. Nobody wants to accept such a thought when they are one of those left behind.[/center]
