The Five Moods of Pregnant Rose

Nauseous

The bathroom was quickly becoming my constant companion at this point.

Oh joy.

"Rose? Are you okay?" Leigha's concerned voice came through the door.

"Yeah, just fine! My baby is just making me sick and hate food all the time! Even donuts have forsaken me!" I groaned, semi-hysterical as I rose and moved to rinse out my mouth.

Swinging the door open, I was greeted by the face of my sympathetic friend, holding what looked like a mug of tea. "It'll get better. Trust me."

"Thank you," I groaned as I accepted the cup. "And I sincerely hope so. I don't think I can do this for nine months."

"And it won't," Leigha assured me in her soothing voice, "the first trimester is the worse for nausea."

"It better me. I miss food and-," I sighed.

"Okay gang!" Denis proclaimed jovially as he busted open the door to the team loft. "I have gotten lunch for all of us! Barbecue sandwiches of various meats, potatoes the food of the Motherland, fried or mashed to your liking, and some coleslaw!"

Coleslaw.

Feeling my stomach give a lurch, I quickly shoved Leigha my mug and turned back to the bathroom just in time.

Though not before hearing from the other side of the door...

"Denis, you idiot!"

Scared (whist on vacation in a foreign country)

Fuck.

I popped.

Like just overnight. Went to bed without much of a prominent bump. Woke up with a slight but definitely noticeable curve.

"Oh my God, Roza!" Viktoria squealed as she spotted me coming down for breakfast. "Your baby bump is really starting to show! Oh, this is so exciting!"

"Yeah," I smiled as Dimitri excitedly came up to me, his hands running over my now more prominent stomach.

"Hello baby," he practically cooed, "nice of you to make an appearance."

Outwardly, I melted.

Meanwhile, inwardly I was having a meltdown.

Fuck…I'm going to be a mom.

Shit.

I don't know how to be a mom. Fuck.

That's how we got into this situation in the fist place.

Shut up snarky, downer inner voice.

Wait I need to stop swearing, that's not good for the baby that's growing.

Fuck I'm incubating a baby!

Needy

I could feel the tears building up in my eyes. There was a small part of my brain that was currently shouting, "Why are you crying over this at three in the morning? Stop being ridiculous!"

But I couldn't help it, damnit! The hormones!

"Roza?" Dimitri's grogginess dissipated as he caught sight of me.

"Why are you crying? Are you okay? Is something wrong with the baby?"

"No," I sniffled, trying to get myself under control. "Its just that…that-I was watching you sleep…an-and…you're just so pretty!"

Dimitri blinked. Once. Twice.

"Oh, Roza," he chuckled softly. "What am I going to do with you?"

"Love me," I practically demanded as I threw myself in his arms.

"That's how we got into this situation in the first place," he joked as he held me and stroked my hair.

"You're my husband…and baby daddy!" I wailed, tears coming full force once again. "That's-that's so amazing! You're amazing!"

"You are too, Roza…"

"You smell so nice!" I bawled as I caught a whiff of Dimitri's delicious scent, shoving my face back into his chest. Why hadn't I paid more attention to his scent before? Oh, I was probably distracted by his face…his perfect face…and his perfect strong arms…and his perfect, special smile…

"I love you so much," I whimpered, peaking back up at my husband, burrowing closer to him.

The corners of Dimitri's lips twitched before he bit his lower lip.

"I love you too, Roza."

Hungry

"Well, nice to see you've gained your appetite back," Ben commented as he spotted me standing by the counter in the kitchen alcove.

"Well I'm eating for two, you know?" I snapped back.

"Well of course. As you were, please."

"Thank you!" I called as his retreating back disappeared up the stairs.

Picking up my phone, I dialed Dimitri's number, dipping my chocolate donut into the magical creamy tub of yogurt.

"Comrade? Hi, yes I'm fine. But uh, we need to stop buy Little Istanbul after you get off from work. I want more yogurt…No, we can't just buy a tub at the grocery store, you know I like the one from that little shop…What do you mean what's the difference? That store is owned by a Turkish family! For one, we're supporting a small business, and two, Turkish people practically invented yogurt! They know what they're doing. Mhm, yes…okay great! See you later, Comrade!"

Motherly

After hours of family and friends, it was finally time for some peace and quiet. Visiting hours were over and I had managed to convince Dimitri to go home and freshen up. After all, he had been in the room with me for the better part of the day. He eventually went, begrudgingly, promising to be back within an hour.

Which left me alone with my thoughts.

And my baby.

Liliana Dimitrinova Belikova.

Moving slowly, I leaned over and peered into the little bassinet that had been set up in the room. Lily, swaddled up in a pink blanket, was sleeping peacefully, her little face scrunched up, as if concentrating really hard on resting.

As much as I could without disturbing her, I picked her up and rocked her in my arms, leaning back against the pillows.

"Hi Lily," I whispered as I gazed down on her peaceful face. "I'm your mom."

I swallowed, having said that aloud for the first time.

"So…I'm new at this…" I choked out a laugh at how ridiculous I was being, but continued. "I don't know how to be a mom, Lily. I'm so sorry. Thankfully you have a very smart daddy," I smiled as I gingerly stroked her soft, plump cheek.

"He loves us very much, and will take good care of us. He'll be an amazing daddy."

I took a deep breath before continuing. "But you know what else I know? I know that I love you…so so much. I didn't grow up with my mom around, and I never want you to have to experience that. I never want you to feel as if you weren't important, or loved, ever." I paused as I shifted, holding Lily securely, even closer to me as I breathed in her sweet baby scent. "I'll mess up, a lot. And I'll be tired and cranky sometimes. I'm not perfect Lily…but just know that you're my baby, and you mean the world to me. And I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe and happy. I promise," I sighed as I learned further in to the pillows, Lily snuggling closer to my chest, letting sleep to take over my senses…

…and that was how Dimitri found his wife and newborn minutes later when he returned, settled into the pillows, dozing peacefully.

Looking the exact image of mother and child.
