Month the First
Riza nibbled at one of the lemon squares as she and Gracia watched Elysia play in the garden. Her queasiness from earlier had gone away, but Riza was still careful. Gracia glanced at her with a fond smile.
"Maes always wanted this for you two, you know. For you and Roy to be able to have a home and a family together after everything."
Riza blinked. Part of that statement made sense to her since she and Roy were now married and living in East City, but a family? They didn't have a family. It was just the two of them. Gracia seemed to catch Riza's confusion.
"You meant you didn't know? Riza, you're more tired than usual, nauseous most mornings, and I would guess you haven't had your period for at least a month."
The words sank in. There were all true. In fact, Riza was about two weeks late for her period, but then again, she had never been that regular. The idea that she might be pregnant hadn't occurred to her. It hadn't exactly been something that she and Roy had been planning on. They had discussed starting a family more than once, but they hadn't been actively trying yet. Still, it wasn't a bad thing.
Riza smiled and rest her hands on her stomach. She realized that later on she would probably have second thoughts and doubts about this, but for the moment, happiness was her dominant feeling. Now she just had to tell Roy.
