Delilah-
I quickly made my way to the bathroom. I was trying to enjoy my morning tea when I got the urge to puke.
"Delilah, are you alright?", Patricia asked through the closed door.
I wiped my mouth and flushed the toilet.
"Yes, I'll be right out", I said.
I cleaned my mouth with water and then brushed my teeth with an extra toothbrush we kept in the cabinets. I always tried to puke when no one was home because then Roman wouldn't find out. I wanted to surprise him. Placing my hand on my stomach.
"Alright sweetheart, try and let mommy eat something.", I said softly.
I opened the door to see his mom and sisters looking worried.
"Hello", I said, trying to walk passed them.
"How far along are you?", Lisa asked.
I sighed.
"Two months", I said.
They all hugged me and talked excitedly about the new baby in the family.
"Roman doesn't know", I said.
They stopped and faced me.
"I want to surprise him", I said.
They nodded.
"Chris can help, it sucks that you don't know what you're having yet. He could have colored something blue or pink", Kayla said.
"When do you plan on telling him?", Summer asked.
"Soon, maybe over dinner", I said.
They all nodded.
"Oh we need to go shopping, the company has that annual ball thing", Kayla said, waving her hand.
"Annual Ball?", I asked.
Why hadn't Roman mentioned anything? His sister nodded.
"Yeah, it gets the investors and clients together to talk and have a dinner. Usually clients bring friends and that's how the company gets more investment deals", Summer said.
I nodded.
"I like going to these things because it lets me wear a beautiful dress without baby vomit on it", Lisa said.
I laughed.
"So let's go", Summer said, taking my arm.
"Oh, I don't have my purse. I think its upstairs", I said.
"You don't need it, Roman left his black card", Summer said smiling.
I wasn't comfortable using any of the cards Roman had given me. He said there was no limit and to buy till my hearts content, but there was nothing I needed. If I did need something I would use my money.
"Oh, I don't feel", they stopped me.
"He gave you these for a reason, have fun girl", Lisa said.
Patricia took my other side.
"Roman said to force you, he's noticed you haven't used any of the cards he's given you", she said.
"I haven't", I said.
She smiled.
"I can't help but feel like if I use them, I'm using him and I'm not", I said.
"I know sweetheart and he knows that, but he trusts you and knows you aren't money hungry", she said.
"We are going to have so much fun", Kayla said.
"Not too much, just because he said there was no limit, I'm not going to over do it.", I said.
Brie and Paige met us at the dress store. I kissed Daniel's head.
"He's getting so big", I said.
Paige nodded.
"How are you feeling Brie?", I asked.
"I honestly feel like I got a burst of energy today. I'm ready to shop till I drop", she said.
I looked at a few dresses, grabbing a few to try on. Paige came over to me with a black, tight hugging halter dress.
"You would look amazing in this dress, put your hair up", she said.
"I'm pregnant", I said.
"Congratulations, but seriously you don't even look it. Come on before the bump comes in", she said.
I took it.
"I'll try it on", I said.
She clapped excitedly. We all made our way to the dressing rooms. Paige laid the baby in his car seat, taking him in with her. I tried on all the dresses but none of them felt right. I finally tried on the one Paige gave me and I instantly fell in love with it.
"Have you tried on the one I gave you?", she asked, outside of my door.
"Have it on now", I said.
"Goody, let me see", she said.
I opened the door and she smiled, his mom smiled too.
"Wow, you look amazing in that. I know Roman is going to love it", Paige said.
"That's the one for you", Patricia said.
Roman-
"You look like you're on cloud nine", I said to Dean.
"I am man, I'm having a lot of fun with this baby stuff", he said.
I smiled.
"I'm happy for you", I said.
"I'm happy for you too. Man you're married, I still can't wrap my head around it.", he said.
"To tell you the truth, I'm not use to it either. I still can't get her to use the credit cards I gave her, argued about it last night", I said.
"She's just afraid you might say something to her. You forget her mind doesn't work like Sasha's does", he said.
"Don't say that name around my wife", I said.
"I know, just let her ease into it. I'm sure she'll use it eventually", he said.
I nodded.
"You taking her to the ball?", he asked.
"Why wouldn't I?", I asked, raising a brow.
He shrugged.
"Just, there might be some people who have, you know", he said.
"I don't care, she's my wife. I'm not hiding her anymore", I said.
"Good answer", he said.
Delilah-
I hung the dress in our closet and took out the rest of the clothes I bought. Looking them over, I realized I might have gone overboard. I bought a few outfits for Everly as well. I bit my nails. I didn't hear Roman come in.
"You alright?", I jumped and turned to see him.
He was leaning back against the door, his hands in his suit pockets. His hair neatly brushed back into a bun.
"I went shopping", I said softly and nervous.
"I know, I can see that", he said, looking at the clothes.
"I can return it, I don't need it anyway.", I said.
"Baby, stop, it's fine", he said smiling.
"I didn't mean to spend so much", I said.
He raised a brow.
"How much did you spend?", he asked.
"Hundred, maybe three hundred", I said.
He laughed.
"You think that's a lot", he said.
"Don't laugh at me, to me it is", I said.
He pushed himself off the wall and came over to me.
"Spend as much as you like, when you like. No limit, I told you that", he said.
I pushed myself out of his arms.
"Just because you have money to spend doesn't mean I'm going to go crazy shopping, there's always a limit", I said.
We had this same argument several nights in a row. What husband got mad because I didn't want to spend his money. This just wasn't me.
"Okay look, I don't want to argue with you Lila. I know you aren't use to this, but I just want you to feel comfortable using the card when you want too. Its okay to indulge every now and then", he said.
I sighed.
"I know, it's just, just give me time to get use to this", I said.
He nodded.
"Okay", he said.
He kissed me and started to remove his tie.
"Why didn't you tell me about this ball thing?", I asked, folding the clothes.
He shrugged.
"I was going too", he said.
"I found a dress", I said.
He smiled before removing his shirt and throwing it in the hamper.
"Can you try it on for me?", he asked.
"You're just going to have to wait", I said.
He groaned.
"There's something else I have to tell you. I was going to wait till dinner, but I can't keep it a secret anymore. I'm too excited", I said.
He looked at me and waited for me to continue.
"I'm pregnant", I said.
He smiled.
"Really?", he asked.
I nodded.
"Two months", I said.
He came over to me and hugged me, kissing me and feeling my stomach.
"A baby, my baby", he whispered.
I nodded.
"Does Everly know?", he asked.
"Not yet", I said.
"We should tell her", he said.
