Chapter 2
It's a warm spring day. The birds are chirping, and the buds on the trees are growing into beautiful apple blossoms, while the sun is just appearing over the mountain tops.
As Regina was waking for the day, she feels the kick of her unborn child, which puts a smile on her face. She places her hand over the spot that she felt the kick, to feel some more and to also reassure the child she will love it forever.
She than carefully gets out of bed, do to the fact that her back is sore, from the weight of her unborn child in her belly. Moving to the window to peer out at the surroundings. Even though she knows the child cannot see it, she imagines it can and says, "Some day this will all yours, and I hope you love it as much as I do."
Just then the chamber door creaks open, Regina turns to see her husband standing in the door way, all smiles. "How is my beautiful wife, and my little one doing today?" he says. Regina replies with a smile, "We've been kicking mommy, and having a little chat, about the future." "Haven't we sweet heart?" rubbing her belly. "Is it still kicking?" he asks, while approaching. She nods, and places his hand over the spot where she feels it the most. He feels the kicks, then bends down so that his mouth is near her belly and says, "Don't kick mommy too hard, or I might have to kiss her, to make her feel all better." He than starts to stand up, just as he is doing this, the baby gives an even harder kick, which makes Regina smile even more. "I think it wants you to kiss be all better, it kicked me even harder that time," she laughs. "Oh really," he says, and then kisses her. "Well I better be going now, got to hit the road and check up on Little John, and the other merry men" he says. "Oh Robin, so you think they will ever find out where my sister is hiding? She just can't get close enough to get our baby. You know what she tried to do with Snow and Prince Charming's little one." she cries. He comforts her saying, "That is why I need to leave, they might have some news, or clues to where she may be." He kisses her one more time, walks towards the chamber doors, stops looks at her and says, "I love you, and everything is going to be ok." he then turns and exits the room.
Regina turns to look out the window one more time, but gasps when she sees a black clothed figure with green skin and a pointy hat just standing by the forest near the castle grounds. She runs to the chamber doors to tell Robin, but he is no where to be seen. So she returns to the window to check if the figure is moving towards the main door yet. But the figure wasn't there, she hastily checks in front of the main door in case it had moved to there, but there was no sign of it. She shakes her head and says, "I must have dreamt it." She than turns to her amour, grabs the clothing she will be changing into for the day, and heads to the bathing chamber, to start her day.
