Regina woke with a sudden cry. Pain ripped through her body like a thousand knives. She screamed and Robin shot bolt upright in the bed beside her.
"What is it darling?" he asked urgently.
"I don't know" she sobbed in a panic. She threw back her sheets and to her horror she could see blood on her pyjama pants.
"Something's wrong with the baby" she cried. She was now 20 weeks along, more desperate than ever to have this baby and now something terrible was happening.
"Hush darling don't cry. We'll go to the hospital I'm sure the baby will be fine there's not very much blood" Robin soothed, rocking a sobbing Regina in his arms before lifting her up gently and carrying her downstairs and outside to her.
Through her sobs Regina realized that neither of them were truly dressed for hospital and gave both of them clothes with a snap of her fingers. Suddenly another burst of pain shot through her and she bent double, screaming.
"Regina stop using magic right now. You're too weak and for all we know, magic could be the cause of this problem so don't exert yourself" Robin warned her, trying to sound calm for his wife's sake. Regina managed a nod through her sobs and finally, she was able to sit straight again.
Finally Robin pulled in at the hospital. He parked the car and shot out to Regina's side, he picked her up gently and half walked, half ran with her into the hospital.
"Dr Whale, help Regina's bleeding" Robin shouted urgently.
"In here you two" Dr Whale said, coming out and ushering the two of them into a room. He wasted no time in hooking Regina up to an ultrasound.
"Can you see the baby, is the baby okay?" Regina cried frantically, trying to control her emotions. It would not do for her to lose her composure in front of the doctor, but she was absolutely devastated at the thought of losing this baby.
