Regina was woken up by a dull throb in her lower abdomen. "ugg now I'm going to feel like crap the rest of the day!" she mumbled as she got up to use the bathroom, cursing mother nature all the way there. Once in the bathroom she went under her sink to get a pad. She then proceeded to use the bathroom. Thinking she just needs to sleep the cramps off and that she would feel better in the morning, she crawled back into bed.
Two hour later Regina was woken up by an even stronger throb. Gasping in pain Regina lay still while rubbing her lower abdomen. After about a minute the throbbing stopped and Regina could breathe again. When she went to roll over on her other side she noticed that she felt wet. "Great! I can't win tonight!" she screamed in her head. Thinking she had an accident she got up turned her bedroom light on so she could see the damage. Walking back over to her bed she saw that there was quite a bit of blood on her sheets and blanket. She then looked down to her pajamas and found that she her self-looked like she went through a blood bath. Trying to stay calm she walked over to her bathroom, flipped the light on and she assessed herself in the mirror, taking mental note of everything. She look relatively fine. Her skin was damp with sweat; she still had her normal olive skin tone. She had bags under her eyes from not sleeping. She didn't fell woozy or faint so with that she decided she was not dyeing and that her period was just extra heavy because she had not gotten it in a while. Once she was done taking mental note of herself she decided there was no saving the pajamas. So she striped herself of them and threw them away along with her underwear. She then hoped in the shower so she could get clean.
Ten minutes later she had on fresh clothes and was striping her bed. Once her bed was free of the sheets and blanket she took them down to the laundry room and threw them in the washer and turned it on. On her way back to her room she stopped at the linen closet to get bedding. When she was reaching up to get a blanket down another pain hit her causing Regina to drop the blanket and hold her stomach. Breathing deeply she leaned her head on the shelf in front of her and waited for it to pass. This one lasted a little longer than the other two shooting pains she had that night but not by much. Deciding it had passed she took one last calming breath before she shakily leaned down to grab the blanket she dropped. She quickly grabbed some sheets and went to her room where she made her bed. Once done she crawled into bed and closed her eyes.
The next time the mayor woke up it was light out and her body was hit with a pain so great she couldn't stop the cry of pain from leaving her mouth even if she wanted to. She had cried out so loud she had Henry running into her room.
"Mom!? Are you ok?"
"Henry I need to listen to me ok. I need you to go get me the phone please" Regina said breathly pain written clearly on her face. And because of that Henry nodded his head and ran to get the phone for his mother. Once out of sight Regina let out a low pained moan. She now knew something was not right. Never in her life has she felt pain like this. With the more deep breaths she takes the pain lessens so she just keep doing that until Henry came back to her room with phone in his hand. He carefully walked over to his mother's bed to hand her the phone.
"It's ok Henry ,you don't worry, I'll be ok.'
"Are you sure? you sound like you're in pain."
There was no point in lieing to him so she told him the truth and said "I am but I'm going to call Emma and have her takeme to the ER to fix that ok?"
"Okay" Henry replied with a small nod and a tentative smile.
With that Regina gently moved herself so she was in a sitting position and dialed Emma's number. It only took two rings before it was answered.
"heellllo?" the blonde said groggily from the other end of the line.
"EMma…" Regina said just as another pain hit her causeing her to whimper into the phone.
"Regina? Whats wrong?" Emma said instantly awake.
"I need…. you… to take me…. to the hospital." Regina painted in pain.
"Ok! Ya ok .. umm I'll be there in 15 ok. Where is Henry?" she replied slightly surprised that Regina was asking HER to take her to the hospital and not doing it herself which means that whatever is wrong has to be serious.
"He is sitting right next to me" came Regina's pained reply.
"Ok I'll call Ruby on my way so she can come stay with Henry"
"Thank you" Regina said slightly less labored then before.
"I'm on my way hang tight" and with that Emma hung up the phone.
Regina turned to Henry and saw how worried he was "Hey, come here Hun." She said with her arms open. Henry needing not to be told twice crawled over to his mother and cuddled into her side where her arms came around him. "I know this is scary but everything is going to be alright. Ok?" she said while rubbing soothing circles on Henry's back.
"I just want you to be ok mom, I love you" He replied burying his head a little deeper into his adoptive mothers side.
"I love you too my little prince." Regina hugged him closer and kissed his head.
Both happy with the position they were in stayed that way until they heard the doorbell ring making Henry jump and Regina Moan in pain.
"I'M SORRY! I didn't mean to!" Henry said in a panic.
"Baby it's not your fault it's just another pain its already going away. Now hurry and go let Miss Swan in please and send her up."
Henry knew his mom was lying about the pain going away but he did what his was told anyway. Regina knew there was no way she was moving right now in the pain she was in. so she sat with her fist balled in the blankets, her knuckles turning white from squeezing so hard and she breathed.
A minute later Emma walked through Regina's bedroom door and stopped dead in her tracks. She had never seen the mayor look so, so well unlike the mayor. Her pajamas were wrinkled, her hair was giving off this just fucked look that Emma had to admit she would not mind seeing more of. What really got Emma was the fact that the mayor was not wearing any make-up and she was still just as beautiful without it. Emma was pulled out of her thoughts when Regina released a breathy sob.
"Hey, hey, hey I'm here, I'm here, you're going to be ok." Emma said as she quickly made her way around to the other side of Regina's bed so that they were on the same side. "Do you think you can walk?"
"Ya just give me a minute the pain should pass soon…. Can you get me something to change into please?"
"Sure do you have anything you don't mind having cut off you?"
"The bottom drawer of my dresser there should be yoga pants and some tank tops. My I ask why they need to cut anything off of me?"
"You know just in case you like pass out in the car on the way there and they can't wake you up they are going to cut your clothes off and I figured you would rather it be something you don't care to much about is all." Emma replied while she got the clothes. Turning back towards Regina she set the clothes by her feet and said "whenever you're ready"
After a few more seconds of deep breathing from Regina she finally relaxed her hold on her blanket and held out her hand for Emma to take so she could help her up.
Emma took Regina's hand and helped her to the edge of the bed not saying a word knowing that it was already hard for the mayor to be asking for help at all.
It took a bit of finagling but they managed to change Regina into black yoga pants and a deep red tank top. "You ready to stand up?"
"As ready as I'll ever be Miss Swan" and with that Emma helped Regina to her feet all the while keeping a firm grip on her upper arm. The duo slowly made their way down stairs to see Henry and Ruby sitting at the dining room table eating breakfast. They said good bye to Henry and thank you to Ruby and they were off in Emma's cruiser with the lights and sirens going.
They got to the hospital in ten minutes. It would normally take them twenty if it had not been for Emma speeding and the sirens telling everyone to move. Regina was moaning in agony in the passenger seat when Emma pealed into the parking lot of the hospital and slamming on the brakes as soon as she hit the front doors. No sooner did the car stop, Emma was out and on the other side opening Regina's door while yelling "We need a wheel chair out here! Now!"
"There is no need for that Em..ahhh!" Regina screamed grabbing onto the first thing her hand came into contact with, which happened to be Emma's hand. Once she had a hold of it she cried out again while squeezing Emma's hand with all her might."Ahh! Jesus Regina you're going to break my hand!" Emma cried. Regina keep squeezing like she heard none of what Emma said.
Suddenly there was a commotion at the door and the savoir turn her head to see two nurses running out to help. One had a wheel chair and brought it to the car and started to help Emma get Regina into. Who by this point was so out of it she didn't even realize she was hysterically crying from the pain. The nurse that brought the wheel chair out started wheeling Regina in to the hospital. Emma started to follow but was held back by the second nurse who told her she had to sign her in and fill out some paper work and then she could be with Regina. So with a nod Emma followed the nurse and filled out what she had to as best she could. She was about to hand over the last form to the nurse when she heard screaming from within the hospital that sounded a lot like Regina. Without a thought Emma took off towards the screaming and in no time found Regina in a hospital bed, her hands on the railings holing on so tight her knuckles were white, screaming at the nurses not to touch her.
Seeing this Emma pushed through the nurses trying to calm Regina and walked to her bed, where she gently took the mayors face in her hands to get Regina to look at her and to hopefully calm down. She gently put their foreheads together and whispered to Regina so no one could hear what she was saying to the brunette.
"Hey, you need to stop this, do you hear me. They are just trying to help. The sooner you calm down and let them do what they need to the sooner they can give you something for the pain. Ok?" Emma said all this calmly so she didn't make things worse but when she didn't get an answer to her question she said a little more forcefully "I said ok Regina, did you hear me?"
"Yes, ok I'm sorry… I'm sorry; just make it stop hurting please." Regina desperately whispered back.
"I know it hurts, it will be ok just breathe with me. In threw your nose out of your mouth." Emma doing what she said and Regina mimicked. After a few minutes of this Regina was calmed down enough for the nurses to take blood and vitals and start and iv drip. Within a few minutes Dr. Whale walked in the room. "Hi my name is Dr. Whale I will be your doctor today" he said all while looking down at his clip board. When he looked up he was surprised to see Regina in the hospital bed and even more surprised to see Emma swan standing next to the Queen protectively. Getting over his shock Whale got down to business and asked Regina
"What brings you in today?"
"I feel like i'm dieing!" Regina cried
"And what hurts?"
"My stomach" she hissed while clutching it.
"What are your symptoms?"
"It feels like my insides are trying to come out, I feel dizzy and I'm in a lot of FUCKING pain so if you can hurry this along!"
"Right sorry, How long has this been going on?"
"A day and a half. I woke up around 2ish with the really intense pain."
"Has the pain been getting worse?"
"God! Yes! Yes it's been getting fucking worse that's why I'm in here!"
"Do you take any medicines or supplements?"
"no"
"Are you sexually active?"
"Really!?"
"hummer me Miss Mills."
"yes"
"Thank you now is there any chance you could be pregnant?"
"Do I look Pregnant to you!?" Regina screamed at the Doctor.
"ok sorry, Does it hurt when I push here? Whale asked while he pushed along the upper part of Regina's lower abdomen.
"God! Please just stop touching me!" Regina balled
Just then a nurse ran in with a clipboard and handed it to Dr. Whale and left. After taking a minute to look over it he got a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Regina and Emma asked at the same time.
"Regina not to alarm you but according to your blood work your pregnant."
"I'M WHAT!? THERE IS NO WAY! YOUR WRONG! I CANT BE, I HAVE NOT HAD SEX WITH A GUY IN TWO YEARS!"
"It's going to be ok ,just relax we are going to get an ultra sound to double check the blood test ok?
"Ok, but it's going to be wrong there is something else going on."
"One last question before I get the machine, Are you allergic to any medicines?
"No" Regina answered firmly. And with a nod of his head Whale left the room to get the ultra sound machine.
Turning to Emma Regina sobbed "There is no way I could have a baby right!? I mean the only person I have slept with in the last year has been you! And we only did that a few times!... oh god this can't be happening!" she brought her hands to her face and continued to ball. Emma who had been quite and trying to stay out of the way decided it was time to intervene again. So she gently pulled the mayors hands away from her face so she could place hers on Regina's tear stained cheeks. She brought her face in front of the mayors once more and calmly said "it's going to be alright! Do you remember what I said about staying clam so the people can do their jobs?" Regina nodded her head in answer. "I know what Whale just told you is a bomb shell but it's going to be ok do you hear me I'm not going to let anything bad happen if what he says is true we will cross that bridge when we get there ok until then there is no need to give yourself a heart-attack ok. Do you want to do that deep breathing thing again?" she asked while gently rubbing her thumbs along the side of the ex -queens face.
"Please" was all the answer she was going to get out of Regina right now so with that she brought their foreheads together and just kept repeating in and out in and out slowly like a mantra. It wasn't to long after the mayor got her breathing back to a normal level Dr. Whale walked in with an ultra sound machine. "Emma do you think you could help Regina lift her gown up so her stomach and lower abdomen are showing she can keep the blanket over her lap it will take me a minute to set this up." and with that he turned so that the two women could have some privacy.
Once everyone was situated Dr. Whale put the ultra sound gel on Regina's belly making her shudder from it being cold. She had a hold of Emma hand while the doctor grabbed the wand and put it over where Regina's uterus would be. And as soon as the wand touched her belly a heartbeat could be heard threw out the room. Regina's free hand come up to her mouth to muffle her sob and Emma's came around to bring Regina's head to her chest in support staring at the monitor in amazement.
