Well... with regard to what? You could get a divorce. You could remain together. He will have child support and other obligations once the child is born.
What can be done about the baby, your marriage, or the upcoming child support he will have?
You and your husband can seek custody and the biological mother could pay support and have visitation, or she can have custody and your husband have visitation rights and support obligations. If the biological mother is willing, perhaps she would agree to ahve you adopt the child. Perhaps she and your husband can agree to have someone else adopt the child. I beleive that these are the options if the child is born.
