I can so see how that would happen. Syed has realised that he needs to be wth Christian. He goes home to tell Amira, but before he can, she tells him she's pregnant. He's trapped forever.
He goes back to Christian. They're in the living room, Christian is getting scared because Syed looks like a ghost, and is so upset he can't even talk.
Then Syed breaks, buries his face in his hands as he starts to sob. Christian reaches for him, holds him close, rubs his back and strokes his hair, shushing him and trying to find out what's happened.
Syed sobs out, 'she's pregnant,' and Christian's heart stops, because he knows what that means for them.
Christian closes his eyes, presses his lips to Syed's hair, holds him tighter, wanting to tell him that everything will be fine, but he can't because it won't be. nothing will ever be fine again.
Syed clings to him, sobbing and incoherent, telling him that he loves him, he can't lose him, he can't, what are they going to do?
And Christian tries to comfort him, but how can he when there are no words. He doesn't know what they can do. There's no way out and they're trapped in this nighmare.
Now I'm making myself cry.
