He certainly knows what it means, judging by the immediate alarm that fills his face. Of all the scenarios that he'd been running through his mind for her visit, this was not one of them. In fact, even being as stupidly reckless as he was, the possibility hadn't ever even entered his thoughts. This was just not a complication that he'd ever wanted to deal with, or truly, think about.
A heavy feeling settles in his gut, and Jack swallows thickly. "You jest. You must be." He can already tell by her grave expression that she's not; and besides which, she isn't one to joke about things like this. He curses under his breath, setting aside the cloth in his hands, a muscle in his jaw working. "It may mean nothin', right? Are you certain? Could you be wrong?" She knows her body better than him, she'd know if she was late, but that doesn't stop the denial from gripping him.
