It had actually been four months, one week and three days. She was counting them out in her head, knowing that somewhere in the coming weeks, the count down would end and she'd leave the secret just that.
For most women, the joyous run of pregnancy is a happy one. Hell, the first couple of months with May were disgustingly happy. After that run of morning sickness, that is. But, everyday after that was amazing.
However, this time was different.
In her world, it was a divine miracle she got pregnant in the first place. Though, in having a Titan God as her lifelong partner and a dear friend of the magical kind, even the impossible becomes possible. Only she was sure the blessing would be a one time deal.
She knew it was going to be a one time deal.
So, when the first signs came on, they were so little she hardly paid notice. They progressed into bigger signs and right away, a fear began to swell in the middle of her gut that if she told Tommy, and the little flicker of light in her belly got snuffed, it would tear him to pieces.
Ziyah became distant, ignored her feelings and tried to remain true to her typical personality. The woman that could fool you with what she was thinking or feeling. Only when he found her in the dressing room, he could see right through her stone features and see the secret she'd been keeping from him.
It had taken four months.
Zee had initially looked up with a smile, but returned to dabbing away the mess on May's chin. His presence was different this time. Far more determined than it normally was. She'd only felt it once before. That day when he asked her what was wrong.
She knew he suspected it then. But now...
There was no answer and she tried to ignore him by breaking into the soft Italian words she used in conversing with May. Though after a very long pause, she breathed in sharply through her nose, turned her head and looked long and hard at him. Deliberatingly.

She wasn't sure she had anymore excuses to make.
