Cora sat at the dining room table nursing a cup of coffee for her hangover as Caroline came into the room followed by Robin and Regina. "I don't know about you, but I am not drinking like that ever again," the blonde woman sat beside her and ran a hand across her face.
"Agreed," the brunette nodded as she looked up at her daughter. "So, you're pregnant."
"Yes," Regina whispered, taking the seat opposite them, Robin sitting next to her and taking her hand in his, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen, I must have messed up my pill cycle or something," she felt herself welling up, tears threatening to spill down her cheeks.
Robin moved his chair closer to hers and wrapped his arms around her, pressing a kiss to her temple and whispering that everything was going to be okay.
"I see," Cora sighed, sharing a look with the woman sat beside her, "so, do you know what you're going to do?"
"We want to keep the baby," Robin stated.
"Yes, we do," Regina agreed, blinking through her tears.
Her mother stood from the chair and moved towards her daughter, she could hardly judge her for something that had been a simple mistake, she knew better than anyone how it felt to be 18 and pregnant, but at least Regina had someone who actually wanted to stick around and be with her. Cora hadn't had anything like that, her own mother hadn't even accepted her, that was why she wasn't going to shout, even if she was felt as though this was a massive mistake. She accepted that it wasn't her decision and she would not be like her mother, she would support her daughter and make sure she knew that she was loved.
She wasn't going to make Regina feel ashamed for anything, "okay then, that's your decision," she smiled, tucking her daughter's hair gently behind her ear, "you'll be okay."
That was it, the dam broke and Regina's tears were flowing freely down her cheeks as she hugged her mother tight, "I'm so scared," she cried.
"I've got you, you're alright," her mother cooed as she hugged her back.
Robin looked at the floor and swiped at his own eyes, this was his fault, he'd done this to her, she was pregnant because of him, she was scared and it was him to blame.
Caroline watched her son, she saw the look of guilt on his face and stood from her own chair, taking his hand in hers, offering him a gentle smile, "it's okay Robin, you will both be fine, I promise. It might be hard, but once that child is born I know you will both love it unconditionally."
"Regina," Robin looked at her as she pulled out of her mother's embrace and turned to him, "I know we can do this," he smiled, reaching for her and pulling her into his arms, "I love you so much."
"I love you too," she whispered. Their parents were understanding and supporting the situation and they couldn't ask for anything more. Ultimately they had each other and they would get through it, together.
