He should have told her and given her the chance to decide if she even wanted to come, rather than making that choice for her That in and of itself had little to do with the strain they were already feeling from the trip to the Daycare Center, and almost everything to do with the simple fact that this was not a state he wanted anyone to see him in.
Having AZ and Colin there, watching as he simply fell to complete pieces before them, screaming and throwing toys in that mockery of a child's play room, howling at the walls at a man that was no longer there, crying for the days he lost as a child...

It had left him even more drained, painfully so, and the ache in his chest had yet to go away. It was that much more difficult to face Hilda upon his return with a few more eggs and yet another Pokemon in tow, and he had been outside on the porch overlooking the yard ever since.
When she touched his hand, he didn't move. Didn't react. He just kept staring. Staring in to nothing, but actually reliving far too many painful memories to recount.]
