"Emma," Regina bellows from the upstairs balcony as she finishes securing her earring before waltzing down the stairs toward the kitchen. "Baby, I have an early meeting, so I need to leave for work in the next five minutes, so I'm not late, and I would appreciate a kiss goodbye before that happens."
Regina retrieves her travel mug before pouring herself a cup of coffee for the road as she waits for her fiance to come shuffling into the kitchen, which doesn't happen. Regina finishes putting the lid on her mug while trying to reign in her growing annoyance at being unable to locate her fiance before again calling for her invisible housemate, "Emma? Honey? I have to go." She sighs and begins heading toward the front door of the mansion before a tired groan reaches her ears. She follows the sound to the downstairs bathroom where she finds her fiance curled up on the floor next to the toilet, rocking herself back and forth.
Emma hears Regina enter and picks her head up from off of her knees to regard her, "Hey, baby, I thought you left."
"Oh, Emma, baby, are you throwing up again? Honey, why didn't you call me? I thought this had stopped," Regina crouches down in front of her pale and sweating fiance to brush some loose strands of hair out of her face.
"I thought it had stopped too, but it seems your child has other ideas," Emma laughs hollowly before turning a unique shade of green and quickly adjusting her body before wretching into the toilet once more. Regina rubs her hand up and down her fiance's back while reaching with her other hand to dampen the small towel sitting on the side of the sink to rub against Emma's heated skin.
"I'm sorry you don't feel well, beautiful," Regina breathes into Emma's ear as Emma cautiously rocks back into a sitting position to lean into Regina.
"It's okay. Small price to pay for the end result, don't you think?" Emma manages to turn her head enough to throw a smirk at her fiance as Regina chuckles behind her.
"I do think that, yes, but it doesn't make this part any easier, does it?"
"No, but you're here, and that does make it easier." Emma replies as she turns into her fiance, and Regina places a loving kiss on her forehead while resting her hand on the far more noticeable bump forming just below her fiance's belly button.
"I love you," Regina states as she draws small circles on Emma's skin.
"As I love you," Emma responds before beginning to straighten herself, pulling Regina up with her. "Now, you have to go to work, and I need to go brush my teeth for the next twenty minutes."
Regina chuckles, "Yes, dear." They walk out of the bathroom hand in hand and toward the front door before Regina turns to Emma with a fierce look in her eyes, "You'll call me if you need anything, yes?"
The statement is phrased as a question, but Emma knows that a question it definitely is not.
"Yes, ma'am," Emma responds dutifully before placing a light kiss on her fiance's cheek.
"Good girl."
