I couldn't take my eyes off the box. I counted back the days and it hit me.
I was three weeks late.
How the heck didn't I notice this before?
I felt dizzy and started hyperventilating, I could see Lissa fussing over me, her lips were moving, but I couldn't hear her over the ring in my ears.
"Oh God…" I moaned, leaning against the bathtub. "Oh God… this can't be happening."
Christian came back with his medical bag.
He helped me sit down on the edge of the tub and told me to put my head between my knees.
"Deep breaths, Rose," he instructed.
After a few more minutes I was breathing normally, but then also everything became clear.
My mood swings should have been my first clue. I had been a basket case lately, either crying constantly or snapping at people; and then, the nausea, the tiredness, the sudden cravings – I'd attributed it all to stress because of what had happened with Dimitri, but now…
I had no doubts in my mind.
"Rose, what's wrong?"
I looked up at Lissa.
"I'm pregnant."
