Chapter 7

It has been a few months since the first date. Emma thought considering what happened before during and after dinner it had gone pretty well. She woke up feeling so sick this morning, she barely managed to get to the bathroom in time. This is where MM found her on the bathroom floor throwing up her guts.

"Mommy", Emma says as MM bends down and puts a cold wet towel on her daughters head. "Oh honey, your sick. You don't have a temperature though. Let me get you some crackers and ginger ale, it will settle your stomach and then back to bed with you my girl".

"I can't, I have to get this paperwork to Regina today for the budget. If I don't dad could lose his job". "Honey, I am sure your dad can..." "No it has to be the sheriff who does the budget. I'll be OK, I feel a bit better now anyways". "OK, but honey take it easy and eat those crackers and drink that ginger ale please". Emma goes back to her room while MM picks up her cell she texts Regina.

TEXT: REGINA

Emma has been throwing up all morning, please make sure she takes care of herself for your meeting today. I told her David could do the meeting with you but she said No she had too. Thank you Regina, I know how good of a friend you are to her now. I am glad we put our differences behind us.

A couple of minutes later MM gets a reply.

TEXT: SNOW

Tell Emma to stay in bed, I myself am staying home today. I have a bug and have also been ill all morning. It's bad enough to get Henry to school today. Tell her meeting will be rescheduled. David will keep his job no matter what.

TEXT : REGINA

Would you like me to stop by and take Henry to school? I do pass your house and am going to the school anyways, that way you can stay in bed and rest too. It will be no problem.

TEXT: SNOW

Thank you that would be very helpful. I will expect you in 20 minutes.

Wow thinks MM, Regina must be really sick to not argue with me. She knocks on Emma's door she opens it to see Emma grab the trash can and throw up more into it. "I'm sorry Mommy, I couldn't get to the bathroom in time it just came out of nowhere", "Emma, stay in bed. Look Regina has rescheduled the meeting she is sick herself today, I am taking Henry to school for her, so that tells you how sick she is, be mad at me later but I text her to say make sure you take it easy as you were sick. Here is the conversation you can see yourself she states stay in bed and she is sick".

Emma is too sick to care to be angry at her mom, right now. She just says "thanks" and falls back on her bed. "Emma, make an appointment and go to see Doctor Whale today, OK. With you having magic and all its better to check you out earlier than later". "Ok, mommy" Emma says as she closes her eyes as the world starts to spin again.

Meanwhile in Regina's mansion. Henry is getting ready for school, Regina is making his breakfast he wanted eggs. The smell has Regina heaving and trying to breathe. She barely manages to make it to the guest bathroom in time before she herself is sick once again. Henry has never seen his mom sick before. He comes downstairs and hears his mom retching. He grabs a cold glass of water and walks to the bathroom he knocks and hands her the glass. He smiles and says " Here ya go mom, I remember when grandma was pregnant her morning sickness was so bad with Neal". "Henry, there is no way I am pregnant", Groans Regina with her head in the porcelain bowl again. "MM is taking you to school so open the door when she gets here. I am going to go back to bed, soon as I can".

There is a knock at the door Henry opens it to see MM on the doorstep, he says "Just gonna get my backpack from my room, mom is in the bathroom throwing up, its morning sickness but she wont believe me". As he runs up the stairs. MM walks into the house and calls "Regina?, oh dear, you look as bad as Emma this morning", Regina can just lift her chin up at this statement and then throw up some more.

MM walks in and holds Regina's hair back, and rubs her back. Regina flinches. "Hey Regina, considering we are family, let me help you dear". "I don't have the energy to argue" Regina flatly states to MM. "All I want is to get back in my bed somehow". "Let me help you get back to bed, then I will take Henry to school, I told Emma to make an appointment with Doctor Whale for this morning, with Magic you can never be too careful as you know. Maybe you should too".

Regina is escorted up the stairs to her bedroom where MM places her on the bed, covers her up grabs her a trash can "Just in case, Ok", gets her a glass of water and then kisses her on the forehead and says "get well soon Regina". Then she leaves and takes Henry to school. Henry can do nothing but go on and on about how he is getting a sibling as mom just has morning sickness just like MM had. MM knows about the potion now so knows this is not the case, but she cannot bring herself to tell her grandson this piece of information, that is up to his mother to tell him if she wants him to know she thinks.

Emma wakes 2 hours later and still feels lightheaded but now could walk downstairs, she gets some toast and decides that she needs fresh air, she grabs her cell and her keys and decides to walk to grannies for coffee. The fresh air is helping Emma to clear her head. She walks into grannies and orders a coffee and then a bear claw. That will make me feel so much better she thinks. Red brings over her coffee, Emma takes a sip and stands and runs to the bathroom. She throws up yet again, ugh she thinks will this ever end. Ruby comes in to see if Emma is OK. She sniffs and smiles to herself.

"Emma, are you OK?, you need anything?" "I have a bug I think, maybe mom was right I should go see Doctor Whale today, God I must be sick or dying, I hate that quack". Emma states. Red just laughs at her friend "Your not dying Emma, your .." She sniffs again oh that wolf sense of hers. She can smell Regina's scent all over Emma. "Yeah go see Doctor Whale". "Red, what are you not telling me, I know you, I know your sniffing like I have two heads, your wolf senses told you already.." "Emma, your be OK, it's not a big deal, but when did you and Regina start screwing around?". "What, you can smell"... "Her scent all over you yes" "It's not screwing around Ruby, I love her". "Well that's good as your gonna need her now more than ever" Ruby says.

She leaves the bathroom, leaving Emma to wonder what on earth she meant by that. She walks back out to the diner and leaves, walking over to the hospital where she says I need to see Doctor Whale now". Emma feels faint again, this time she collapses and passes out, as Doctor Whale walks towards her. He picks her up and takes her to the examination room. He calls MM on her cell. She tells him Emma was sick throwing up and feeling faint but no temperature. He says "Ok, I'll run some tests and see whats going on, thanks MM" and hangs up.

He takes some blood and puts an IV into Emma, he gets a nurse to sit with her till she comes around. It takes about 3 minutes before she wakes up. The nurse tells her they running some tests and just stay still till they get results and the doctor will be back soon. She leaves the room.

Meanwhile Regina has also gone to see Doctor Whale. He knows her Majesty must be feeling sick to come to him, so he takes this very seriously indeed. "Ok Regina, tell me what seems to be the issue".

"I have been throwing up on and off all day, very tired and sore with no energy". "Let me take some blood and run some tests and lets see whats going on shall we". "Ok Regina flatly states holding out her arm. Doctor Whale is thinking she has never let me take blood before is she dying? Oh no that would be too good to be true. He has still not forgotten her curse and even though she has changed for the good, he is wary of her. He takes her blood and leaves the room.

Twenty minutes passes and he has news for both of his patients, He walks into Emma's room with a machine he connects it to her stomach and turns it on, Emma hears a thump thumpity thump, she puts her hand over her mouth, shocked. This cant be she thinks, I never with him just... OMG Regina... Doctor Whale smiles and states "well nothing wrong with you just a little case of pregnancy". We will set up a scan and you can see your growing little savior". He unattached the machine and takes it with him to his next patient.

Regina is laying on the cot, her hand over her forehead, as he walks in she barely acknowledges him, he attaches the same machine on her and says "Your Majesty, I know what is wrong with you, it will pass soon, but you might like to hear this". He turns on the machine and she also hears a thump thump coming from it, she doesn't realize and frustrated says "I know what my heart sounds like doctor why do I need to hear it?". "No, that's not your heart, its your babies heart, your pregnant Regina".

Then he walks out of the room leaving the machine on giving her time for the shock to pass. WHAT screams Regina to herself in her thoughts. Henry was right, but how can this be happening? OMG how do I tell Emma. She will leave me I know it, She will think I cheated on her with.. but we didn't ... Oh well I will handle it, I always do.

Regina grabs her cell and texts Emma.

EMMA we really need to talk as soon as your up to it can you come to the mansion please

Beep Beep Emmas cell goes off in the next room. Emma glances at her cell and frowns. She replies

REGINA

As soon as I leave the hospital apt with Dr Whale, I will come over.

EMMA

Your at the hospital now, What room?

REGINA

102 why

EMMA

I am in 101. I think you should come see me now please.

Emma gets up and walks to the door wondering how she can tell Regina her news. She gets to the door of 101, opens it and hears Thumpity thump thump from the machine. Emma runs to the bed, where Regina is crying. She takes Regina's hand in her own, kisses her and says "Well Henry wanted a sibling I wonder how he will feel about two", as she places her hand and Regina's on her stomach.

"What? Your?... OMG WE are having twins of a sort, I was so afraid you would run and leave me, thinking I cheated on you" Regina sobs. Emma looks at Regina and says "Move over: she gets onto the bed with her and says "this is way sooner than should be but I am not going anywhere".

Regina looks at Emma and says "How are we going to cope with 4 children and a moody teen? well two teens if I count you in that equation?" she winks. I think its time I got the children from Granny. She said she would look after Robin's children until I was ready to have them, I think I have had ample time to grieve, well shit what will people think?" "Gina I couldn't give a rats ass what people think about this, I love you, We really are true loves or our magic would not have combined to make us both..." "Pregnant" Regina says as Doctor Whale walks back into the room.

"Emma, what are you doing out of your room?." "Regina needed me", she says as she touched her babies mothers stomach. "Doctor Whale can you let Regina hear my baby's heartbeat please"

He unattached the electrodes and puts them onto Emma's stomach and Regina hears her daughters heartbeat for the first time. Regina grabs Emma's hand and smiles and touches Emma's stomach. "Wow our daughters have strong heartbeats", "Daughters" said Emma as Whale said "Huh, Ours" Regina snarls at him "patient confidentiality Whale". "No, your Majesty, I was just..". He shuts up as Emma glares at him. He leaves the room for a few minutes, leaving them both to get used to this.

"Emma, this is very forward of me but I was wondering if you would like to move in with me and Henry and Roland and the baby. I mean if it's too soon you don't have too..". Emma stops her mid sentence and kisses her. "Yes, Gina I will move in, I thought you would hate me and think I cheated on you, but mom had explained how magic can work miracles..." "You discussed this with Snow". "No, oh god.. On our first date Henry was going on and on about a sibling and mom was speaking to me in my room while I got ready, I just said there is no way we can I mean we are both women". "Oh she gave you the true love can surmount any boundaries didn't she ?" "Yes but that is all, I told her I refuse to discuss anything further with her, it's weird she may have been my BFF before the curse broke but she is my mom after all".

"Oh god, how do we tell Henry and your Parents?" Regina asks her... "Well I have an idea, you may not like it and oh your gonna hate this but Ruby knows about us, she smelt you on me and now her comment makes sense she smelt the baby too I bet, anyways my idea..." Emma proceeded to explain her plan to Regina, who just thinks that could work. "Would you like to come over when we get out of here Emma? I just don't want to be alone right now and we have a lot to discuss it seems".

Doctor Whale comes back in with the discharge instructions which they both sign and Regina and Emma threaten to turn him into a bug if he breathes a word of this before they tell anyone. They leave, Regina tells Emma to get into her car and they drive home. Emma likes the sound of moving in with Regina and Henry, she can see Henry all the time, she can be there for Regina with Robin's kids and help her with her pregnancy.

"We should tell Henry first, before my parents" Emma says as they walk into the house. "Yes he will never forgive us if he finds out with them" Regina states. "Well let's tell him soon then, because I don't know how not to be touching your baby bump and talking to her, why did you say her?" Emma asks.

"We both are women, we cant have a male child without ehm help so we will have princesses only, of course both being due on the same day is going to be hard. What if we both go into labor together I don't want to miss our daughters birth". Regina says as she pulls Emma in for a kiss. "Are you OK? Are you happy about this?"

"No", Emma says "I am not happy" she sees Regina's face fall and she starts to pull away. "Oh no you don't, let me finish I am not happy I am ecstatic, If I am having another child I cant be happier than to know that the other parent is there for her this time, and its someone I care for, Regina I love you, I adore you, this might be too soon but..."

Emma kneels before Regina, "I know we have only been on one date and been dating for a few months but this is true love, I can't live without you, will you do me the honor of making an honest woman out of me and consenting to be my wife?" "Yes", says Regina if Henry agrees and your parents.

"I don't see that being a problem when they find out about ..." she stops as she lays her hand on Regina's stomach and places Regina's on hers. Both women giggle and just stand there gazing into each others eyes adoringly.

"Oh crap, I forgot to get Henry from school" Regina says as she grabs her keys and Emma and pulls her towards the door. She opens the door kissing Emma as Snow and Henry walk up the path. Snow coughs and Henry says "Eeeew Get a room moms" and walks past them to his room. "I see you both feel better" Snow says as she looks at them both, you both are glowing if I didn't know any better I would say..." "Don't you dare finish that sentence" Regina snaps. "I have asked Emma to move in with me, it's better for Henry and she did agree to be there for Robin's children too, But this Friday night would you and David like to come for dinner here, I will cook a family dinner if that is OK with you Snow" "Of course, that would be lovely, well I must be off to pick up Neal from Granny". With that she turns around and walks away.

"Well that was a close call" Regina states to the air. She closes the front door and calls Henry downstairs. "Henry" she says as she moves him into the living room, "I have asked Emma to move in with us, do you have a problem with that?". Henry beams and looks at his moms and says "No way that's awesome, how else can I get a sibling, I mean I know we have Robin's kids but that's not a real relation to me, I want a brother well actually I want a sister more". Emma looks at Regina who gazes at Emma and Regina says, "Why do you want a sister now all of a sudden?", "Well Henry" Emma starts. Regina interrupts with a "Henry you know I took a potion years ago, which meant I can never have a child, well it seems your ma's magic has fixed that, you are sworn to secrecy but today we found out that you will be getting your sister sooner than we thought". Regina stops to let this sink in, first Henry smiles then he goes "Eeeew you and Ma... I well, OK I don't want to think about that, I'm going to have a sister, I told you" he beams looking at Regina. "Actually kid, your having two sisters". "What two, he looks at Regina and says your having twins", "Erhm No, actually I am pregnant and so is Ma, it seems our magic is very powerful indeed to not only heal me from the potion but make us both pregnant at the same time".

"Henry, You can't tell anyone, not even grandma yet OK, we want to plan a surprise dinner and tell them then", I know you and secrets the only one who knows is Ruby but she only knows about me, but soon as Regina walks into Grannies she will know about her too, that wolf sense. I will make her swear to secrecy too but that does allow you to speak to someone as long as no-one else is near".

"Henry, I also asked your mom to marry me today. I know that its early but do you have a problem with us getting married?". Emma blurted out to her son. Henry just beams at his moms and lays her hand in his moms. "I gladly give" he says as Regina tears up. Regina hugs her son and beams, "he said yes", she explains to Emma.

Friday night, Everyone is bouncing. Snow had called to ask if Neal could come he is teething and she felt weird leaving him. Regina had told her to bring him and she would give her a few tips on teething that she used for Henry.

At 630 the door bell rang, Henry ran to open the door and welcome his grandparents, He took them straight to the dining room as dinner was ready. David handed Regina a good bottle of Red wine and says "for dinner but none for MM or myself she is still breastfeeding and can't drink so I am under instructions that I cant either". " Then we will save it for when we can all drink together, how does that sound?" Regina says knowing her and Emma can't drink either now.

Dinner is slow going, Henry is just bouncing in his chair, Regina looks at Henry and says non nonchalantly, that's the last time I let Emma take you for ice cream before dinner if this is what it does to you, as she glares at him. He understands and stops fidgeting. After dinner, Regina asks who wants desert she had made a special cake in honor of her guests tonight.

Emma and Regina go and fetch the cake, and place it in front of Snow and David, Snow gasps "I knew it, I just knew it" she stands and she grabs Regina into a bear hug. "I hope you will both be happy about this, I know Emma will love the help with her pregnancy". Henry screams "hey grandma, don't hurt the baby" as he looks to his mom. Regina places her hand on her stomach and Snow looks shocked.

"What, but the potion? How". Regina laughs and says David I think Neal should drink cow milk tonight I think you both need a drink., sit down Snow and we will explain". As Emma goes to cut the cake after Henry has take a zillion pictures of it – chocolate cake with the words GRANDPARENTS TO BE around the top with PRINCESSES in Pink writing at the bottom. Regina starts to explain. MM cant help but smirk with a "I warned you about the dangers Emma but even I wasn't expecting the potion to be fixed". Henry is still bouncing in his seat unable to control himself any longer, he says "But that's not the best part grandma..." "Henry", Regina scolds. "Sorry Mom".

"Well yes there is more to this story. Lets start at the beginning and explain but would you like to sit in the living room its more comfortable and Neal can play on the floor while Henry plays his game. Ok well I was really sick the same day Emma wasn't feeling good, I went to the Doctor same time as Emma did and ..." "She was feeling what you were feeling", Snow states. "I know true love is powerful but this is even beyond me". "Snow If you shut up and listen... oh screw it" , she waves her hand and suddenly thumpity thump is heard, in tandem. Henry looks up and says "is that their heartbeats?"

"Their" Snow says as she looks shocked, "your having twins?"

"Yes and No" says Regina, "Listen harder", That's when Snow hears it, the heartbeats are not from the same womb. "What" she says as she nearly faints". "David, I think you need to hold your wife up dear, this is a shock to her". Being a man David is oblivious as to what is transpiring, he knows the word twins was said, but what is this all about. "Grandpa, Ma is pregnant" "Yes Regina said she is already, Oh" it dawns on him Henry had said Ma not mom. "OMG your both..." "Yes and Mom, Dad, Mommy In light of this news I wanted to ask you if you have any problem with Regina and I being together forever?" Snow composing herself better now "Honey, if we had a problem, would I have given you advice on how to handle Regina's moods". "Mom" hissed Emma "Not helpful"

Regina laughs and looks at Snow and says "Thank you, I should have guessed you would be the one to help her to know what to do or say when I go into my cocoon". Snow says, "Regina I don't think its a bad thing, now I know more about, well the past which is in the past. Emma are you asking what I think your asking of us?" "I think so, if you think I am asking that I have permission to Marry my true love then yes, that is what I am asking. I am trying to respect the Royal authority here, I know it means a lot more to Regina than she would ever let on". David takes Regina's hand asks her "Is this what you want Regina?" "Yes" is all she can say as he places it in Emma's as Snow Holds their hands together and they both say "We gladly give".

With that Emma falls to her knees and out of nowhere she produces a chocolate diamond ring fit for a Queen and says "I know I asked this the other day, but now seems more appropriate to give this to you, and ask in front of these witnesses if you would Marry me?". Regina laughs and out of nowhere produced a Box with a blue diamond in it for Emma. "We seem to be thinking of the same thing, but you beat me to it, I had this speech all prepared, once I knew your parents were OK with us being together but .." Emma stops her with a kiss and Henry and David go "Eeeew get a room together and laugh, while Snow just watches as the magic encases them again. Coming up for air,Regina apologizes to her guests for the PDA display. Henry says "Mom I am going to go to bed now so you can discuss the stuff you don't want me to hear". He kisses everyone good night and goes to his room.

Snow looks at Regina and Emma and asks tentatively "May I help plan the wedding and baby showers? If that is not overstepping my boundaries here. "Mom.." Emma starts as Regina interrupts with "Yes, Snow I think that would be acceptable". "So when are you telling others?" David asks, he knows Snow is useless at keeping secrets. Regina laughs and says "by this time tomorrow I think the whole town will know, won't they Snow?" She winks at her as she says this.
