RPOV (the next day)

I was scared shitless at telling Dimitri I was pregnant. I did think that maybe the tests were false positives, but I doubt it. I'm showing all the signs of being pregnant - terrible morning sickness, some of my favorite foods are making me vomit, and my stomach feels strange. I think I actually gained weight during the past couple weeks. I can't gain weight.

Anyway, telling Dimitri that we're going to have a baby is terrifying me. After a terrible moment of morning sickness, I threw up again because I was so scared. My parents haven't suspected a thing, they're too busy worrying about work to even notice I'm pregnant.

On my way to school, my heart has been beating a mile a minute. I felt terrible. By the looks some of the other kids gave me when I got to school, I didn't look any better. When Dimitri saw me, I nearly threw up again. He looked so worried. My throat tightened, then a terrible ache in my chest.

"Are you okay, Roza?" Dimitri asked.

I was about to tell him that I'm fine, but I was far from fine. "I-I. . . ." My throat was dry, I looked around. "Dimitri, I-I'm, um, w-well. . . ."

"What?" Dimitri gave me a confused look. "Roza you look sick." That I could believe. My brain was spinning, my heart was punching my chest, and I couldn't think right.

I shook my head. "I need to tell you something," I grumbled. "I-I'm. . . .Yesterday I. . . ." I looked down.

"What did you do yesterday?" Dimitri asked.

I took a shaky breath. "I'm pregnant." I stiffened. After a minute, I still hadn't heard a single sound from Dimitri. My heart felt like it was filled with lead.

"You're pregnant." Dimitri's voice was. . . .emotionless. Just by the way his voice sounded made me flinch. I didn't dare look up. I couldn't see the look on his face. I felt the back of my eyes sting. I nodded. I squeezed my eyes shut. "Roza, I think we'll need some time apart."

I looked up at him, tears flooding my eyes. "What?" I squeaked. His face was expressionless. I couldn't find one emotion.

"We'll need some time apart," he repeated. "to think about this."

My bottom lip quivered, tears threatening to fall. The emotions quickly came back to Dimitri when he saw the tears. He took a step towards me, reaching for me. I took three steps back. Before Dimitri could even say a word, I had ran off.
