It's kind of short tell me I hope you enjoy it.
Regina walked into the freshly finished nursery to examine everything in it. She noticed the rocking chair under the window, as she walked over to the beautifully crafted crib. She let out a soft smile as she picked up the blanket, knowing that Daniel's child will soon be in her arms. She noticed the horse as one of the shapes hanging from the mobile. Happiness filled Regina's heart, she was becoming complete again.
"Are you getting excited about it's arrival?" Snow questioned while walking into the nursery.
"I can't wait," Regina put down the blanket to turn to her step daughter. She smiled while placing her hand on her large stomach. "Did you need something dear?"
"I have a riding lesson today, and I would like for you to come and watch me." Snow invited. "Think I have been really good, like you said you are at riding." Snow smiled at Regina.
Regina looked at Snow, deciding if she should watch Snow ride, "Yes, Snow I would enjoy that very much." Snow gave Regina a hug. "Why don't you go get changed into your riding clothes." Regina suggested as she took a step back and lifted Snow's chin to look at her. "And we'll walk to the stables."
"Yes, I'll be ready in ten minutes." Snow continued to smile and ran out of the nursery to get changed into her proper riding clothes.
Regina had smirk on her face after seeing how happy Snow was to spend time with her. Regina has been working on forgiven Snow for the most part about Daniel's death, but she still kept herself at a distance from her.
Regina had a sharp pain throughout her body; she grabbed her stomach while letting out a harsh exhale to ease the pain. As the pain disappeared she walked out of the nursery to head down the stairs to wait for Snow.
Regina slowly made her way outside to the garden. She quickly took a seat, as the pain took over again. One of her hands clung to her stomach, and the other tightly gripped the edge of her seat. Regina finally let out a scream, to get someone's attention.
One of the guards heard the scream, and came to his queen, "Your majesty is everything alright?"
"Send for my father and Johanna." At that moment Regina realized that it was time; Daniel's child was coming. She wanted Daniel or her mother to be with her, to hold her hand; however both were no longer around to help her.
Henry ran to assist Regina, "Regina honey, what's wrong?"
"It's coming." Regina stated standing up as the unbearable cramp ease away.
"But Leopold is away on business; it's not supposed to be here just yet." Henry said things she already knew.
"Thank you, but I can't help what is going on. And if you want send a messenger you can, but it will be too late." Regina snapped at her father. She was actually relieved that Leopold was out on business; she rather be alone during the delivery than Leopold around. "I need to go to my bed chamber." She walked inside, with her father right behind her.
"Regina, are you okay?" Snow ran next to Regina.
"Yes dear, everything is fine. I can't join you with your riding lesson today though."
"Are you sure that everything is alright? I can help."
Regina saw the kindness in Snow, but knew she shouldn't be around with this. "No, go with my father to your lesson."
"But," Snow looked hesitant to leave from seeing the worry in Regina's eyes.
"Snow everything is going to be okay. I promise." Regina gave a caring smile to Snow.
After a few hours and the sun was setting, Regina was surrounded by her two midwives. Johanna was assisting her and to hold her hand.
"Your Majesty, it's almost here. We just need one more great push." One of the wives stated.
Regina had a warm feeling rush over her to help give her strength. She let out a loud scream, as she gave the final mighty push. The midwife caught the baby and took him to clean him off.
Regina sat up to try to see what the midwife was doing. She heard the tiny but loud cries coming from the little body. Tears of rejoice fell down her cheek. She let out a laugh knowing that her baby was okay.
The midwife walked back to Regina with her son wrapped in a blanket. "Here is your beautiful son."
"We have a boy?" Regina questioned Daniel who she felt was with her the whole day. Regina finally had her son in her arms. Her smile grew bigger when she saw the tiny body in her arms. "You are perfect." Regina saw he had Daniel's nose. She kissed his forehead, as the cries became softer.
"Does our young prince have a name?" Johanna asked her queen.
"Dan…" Regina started to say Daniel after his father, but it would raise questions with Snow. She went with Daniel's middle name, "Eric."
"Prince Eric, such a lovely name." Johanna stated.
Regina looked away from her precious son to Johanna, "Yes, Johanna can you send for Snow," Regina felt bad that Snow was alone all day.
"Yes your majesty." Johanna left the room.
Regina was alone with Eric while her midwives were cleaning up. "Welcome to the world my beautiful boy. You are loved very much, you have your grandfather here, I am sorry that you won't get to meet your father, but he was an incredible man." A tear escaped Regina's eye, "But I am going to be the best mother and person I can for you." Regina kissed his soft head once again, "I love you." Regina's life was perfect in that moment; she could sit there with him in her arms forever.
I hoped you enjoyed please review. Should there be another chapter?
