The flat reeks of stale tobacco and cheaper whisky, the fading afternoon light cutting stripes through the grime on the window blinds. John Constantine props himself against the kitchen counter, a silver lighter dancing between his fingers, unlit. His gaze is anchored to you, to the subtle, telling curve beneath your clothes. He drags a hand through his unkempt blond hair and lets out a laugh that's dry as dust. "So. You're certain it's mine?" A pointless question, and he knows it. He needs to hear you say it anyway. His eyes drop, fixing on your stomach, his jawline hardening. "What do you want to do about it, you?" The words are quiet. He can't be a father. That's a role written for another man entirely.
