"What's wrong, Dom?" Tim asked as he put his hands on her arms, squeezing slightly to let her know he was there for her.
Dominique closed her eyes and took in a big breath and let it out slowly. She felt the tears stinging her eyes again and she was not going to cry in front of Tim. She didn't want him to think she hated the idea of being pregnant with his baby. That wasn't a good feeling for anyone. It just wasn't what she wanted at this point in her life, not with him at least.
She opened her eyes and blurted out, "I'm pregnant."
Dominique felt Tim's hands tighten on her arms as he said, "What?"
"I'm pregnant," Dominique repeated.
