Regina wrapped her arms around her wife's waist as she stood in front of the mirror in her pajamas, "I love you," she whispered into the blonde's ear.
"Let go of me!" Emma practically yelled as she wiggled out of the brunette's arms and pushed her away.
Regina looked at her confused and slightly worried, "What? What's wrong? Are you feeling ok?"
"Oh yeah, of course I'm just peachy… I am the size of a whale! Nothing fits me! Do you really think I'm okay?" Emma snapped, wincing slightly at seeing her wife flinch at her words.
"You are not the size of a whale Emma. You are growing a tiny human. Our tiny human, might I add. You are positively glowing." Regina stated lovingly.
Emma turned and faced her wife with tears in her eyes, "Well, that's just great... So now I'm a glowing whale? How lovely," and then she stomped out of the bedroom and into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
Regina just stood there shocked, staring in the direction the blonde had just gone. She hadn't meant to upset her wife, though, it seemed no matter what she said these days it made Emma cry or get angry. She sighed and then took a deep breath and walked over to the bathroom door, quietly knocking, "Emma? Emma, are you ok?" There was no response. She jiggled the doorknob, "Please let me in. I didn't mean to upset you. Emma, please? Open the door." There was still no response, so Regina, feeling slightly panicked at her wife's silence, did the only thing she could do. She used magic and poofed herself into the bathroom.
As Regina came into the bathroom her eyes went immediately to the blonde curls cascading down the side of the bathtub. 'Why is she in the bathtub?' she thought as she approached the tub. The Brunette sat down on the edge of it and began to gently stroke the blonde's hair.
"Hey! No magic!" Emma whined, as she felt Regina's hand in her hair. "That's cheating."
"You left me no choice. You weren't answering me. I was worried. Now, can you please explain why you are in the bathtub? I know you're upset but there is no reason for you to hide in the bathtub." Regina hissed. "Now please come out of the bathroom and come to bed."
"No," Emma stated with a sigh. "I'm comfy now."
"You are not staying in the bathtub for the night! Get out! Now!" Regina barked.
Emma crossed her arms in defiance with a pout on her face. "No. I'm not moving."
"Well then, move over." Regina commanded. "You sure as hell aren't staying in here alone."
Emma begrudgingly leaned forward as to make room for her wife, not wanting to fight any longer, and also missing having more contact with the brunette. 'I love her so much' she thought.
"I'm sorry," Regina started as she climbed in and sat behind the blonde wrapping her arms around her and laying her hands on the blondes growing belly, intertwining their fingers. "I didn't mean to say anything that could upset you. Even though I didn't, you said it, not me. Are you sure you're comfortable? I still think you need to go lay in our bed. This can't be good for your back. Great, now I'm rambling. You can stop me whenever you see fit."
"Ok. I'll go back to bed… but can we just stay here for a few more minutes. I like sitting like this. Plus the baby is kicking." The blonde smirked as she rested her head back on Regina's shoulder while placing their hands where the baby was kicking.
"Emma, we've been sitting here for an hour and I can feel you shivering. Let's go to bed please. I don't need you to get sick now." Regina lifted herself up and out of the bathtub and then turned to help Emma up. The blonde gratefully took her hand and pushed herself up.
"My back hurts." Emma sheepishly smiled at her wife.
"I told you that wasn't good for your back but of course you had to act like a child and not listen to me… Come here. Let me rub it."
"Thanks. I love you."
"I love you too."
