"What is it, Roza? Why are you shaking?"
I hadn't noticed I was in the first place.
I set my cup down and Dimitri was quick to grab my hands.
"You are freezing… are you all right? Are you ill?"
I shook my head. "Not really."
"What do you mean?"
He looked so concerned and I knew I couldn't keep it from him anymore.
"Dimitri, I'm okay, really. I'm not sick, not yet anyway…"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
I looked down my lap, I could feel those stupid tears flooding my eyes and I internally cursed my hormones.
"Hey, Roza… don't cry."
He cupped my face and wiped my tears with his fingers. "Tell me, please. No matter what, I'm here for you."
Hearing him saying that only made the tears come out faster.
"I'm sorry," I sobbed, waving my hand at my face. "I'm always crying and… I guess I'll be doing this a lot for the next eight to nine months."
Dimitri went still and his eyes went wide. "What—you, I mean, what?"
I huffed, exasperated with myself and took his hands in mine. Like a band aid, I simply said the words out loud for the second time.
"I'm pregnant, Dimitri."
