At the small hospital in town
Regina went over the form she had filled out with all of Emma's information, as they all sat beside each other in the small waiting room; it was Regina, Ruby, Belle and then Emma all the way on the right. After Regina had come out of the bathroom, Emma said she was in a lot of pain, around this time the Deputy and Marshall came back as well from their rounds. They all then climbed into the pickup and drove to the hospital. Ruby sat playing with her nails, while Belle was reading a magazine she had found on the table as they walked in. Emma sat moaning, with a cloth over her now swollen red eyes.
"Ow…oh God." She said taking off the cloth to try to open her eyes more, she then placed it back over eyes. Regina got up with the form in hand and walked over to the nurse's desk and handed it back to the blonde, whose name plate hand indicated her name was Tink Bell.
"Here you go…"Regina said as she gave it back to the nurse
"Ok…Lets have look at what we have got here…" She said cheerfully, reviewing the form. "You're from Chicago Mrs. Swan-Mills!" The woman said gleefully while looking straight into the brunette's eyes.
"Um…Yeah that's right" Regina said flashing the blonde a small smile.
"I've always wanted to go to Chicago"
"Oh well, I'm sure one day you'll get there." she paused before trying to help ease Emma's pain quicker. "Um, is it going to be much longer my wife is really in pain." She said while gesturing to her moaning lover.
"Oh yeah…" she said looking at Emma, her face twisted with disgust. "Oh yeah look at her, she's a mess. She should see a doctor." Emma, overhearing the conversation between her wife and the nurse, looked up. Tink then burst out laughing. "Laughter is really the best medicine."
A few minutes later in the doctor's office
Once they entered they were greeted with a strangely handsome doctor who ushered them to sit in the seats in front of his desk; the tag on his shirt had indicated his name was Jefferson Hatter. Regina and Emma sat in silence while the doctor reviewed Emma's form.
"Oh, you sprayed yourself with bear spray Mrs. Foster…" He said looking at Emma.
"Um, I actually sprayed her; unintentionally of course…anyway do you that she should maybe see a specialist." Regina said in it in a way that to Emma, it sounded like she cared.
"Well, I'm about the only doctor in town…so I'm as special as it gets." Jefferson said smiling, while putting Emma's file down on his desk. "I do everything from geriatrics to pediatrics." He said enthusiastically.
"Well, you don't want to confuse those two." Regina said jokingly.
"No, you don't…That's the great thing about being a doctor in a small town, you see it all. Mentally it's all the same, the body is the body. So let's see if we can take care of that booboo on your eye Mrs. Foster." He said while getting up from his desk and urging the others to do the same.
"See just calling it a booboo makes it better." Emma said sarcastically
"Well lets head next door to the exam room. Say, would like to come in to Mrs. Foster." He said while gesturing to Regina to join them.
"No, I'm fine thank you." She replied just as Emma crashed into the doctor's desk.
"Let me help you there Mrs. Foster…Say do you like stickers…" He said as they both entered a room that was directly adjacent to his office. "Let's take a visit to the princess room."
With that Regina was left all alone in the doctor's office; she spotted a poster on the wall that piqued her interest. StoryBrooke Rodeo; Sunday May 17 1pm. Cash prizes to be won.That could be interesting. She thought to herself. She only noticed the poster because it stuck out from the wall of photos of children that lined the doctor's walls. She looked at the pictures, desperately wanting one of her own. She then check to make sure she was definitely alone before turning to use the doctor's phone which sat on the corner of his desk.
"Hello, you've reached Blue Fairy adoption agency, please leave a message"-BEEP-
"Oh um, Hi Blue, this is Regina Foste-ahh no sorry Swan-Mills calling…I was just calling to thank you so much for everything that you've done for me and I now I'm sort of in the middle of something right now and might be relocating, I might be in New York of I might be in God knows where. Um, I bet I sound really stable right now right? You probably can't believe you're going to help me adopt a baby." The call went end there.
Back at the cabin later that night
Regina laid wrapped up in blankets on the couch, while Emma sat across from her on the love seat while an old Clint Eastwood movie played in the background. Both women were in their pajamas early due to the fact that they both had a long day. Not long after they left the doctor's office Emma's eyes started to return to normal.
"Very soothing before bed." Emma said jokingly as a big explosion happened in the movie.
"Hmmm" Regina said, Emma then looked at her wife and noticed she was getting tired.
"Okay, um well goodnight Gina." She said as she got up and started to walk to her door.
"Night" Regina said, while watching her wife's perfect ass as she walked away. "Emma…" she said, which caused Emma to turn around and look at her wife. Emma was just about to enter her room when she was taken by surprise that Regina used her first name.
"I called the adoption agency." Emma's eyes grew a little wide at her wife's admission. There was a long silence, both just looking into each other's eyes. "I filled for adoption two months ago." Regina said sitting up on the couch.
"You did?" It was no lie that Emma was a little surprised and shocked by her wife.
"I wanted to tell them that I couldn't go through with it now…" Regina said while turning off the TV, so they wouldn't have any distractions
"Two months ago yeah? A really big decision for you…" Emma said not wanting to look into her wife's eyes so she looked everywhere but at her while she wringed her hands nervously.
"Well, I really thought about telling you, but I didn't really know where we were at." Emma finally looked at her wife. "And to be honest, from the time we had trouble getting pregnant with the in vitro, you weren't exactly supportive."
"I always find it impossible to hear when you say that because numerus rounds of in vitro, the fertility doctors and the woman who chanted over our eggs-" Emma said growing more and more frustrated
"Come on, I have apologized so many times for that," the brunette said while getting up from the couch.
"I thought I was pretty supportive. Was I enjoying having to schedule sex? Maybe not as much as should have done and im sorry for that. Or talking about reproducing every second of every day-"Emma said growing angry and fed up.
"It wasn't every second of every day; I just wanted to be a mother."
"Yes, and I wanted to be a mother with you; I was the one who suggested adoption in the first place."
"Then why did we never meet with an adoption agency?" Regina asked.
"Because by that time you were so wired and on edge that they would not let us raise a pet fish let alone a baby."
"You know I was wired from the hormone shots and I'm not normally that crazy and instead of you staying home and dealing with it; You flew off to L.A. on a business meeting with the Governor, and oh Right?!" she said bitterly.
"I know…I know what I did! I slept with someone else and I'm sorry…I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't know how many times I'm supposed to say it, I think you are being completely irrational."
In Ruby and Belle's room
Ruby laid down trying to sleep but all she could hear was the couple yelling outside their door. Belle sat right next to Ruby reading a book.
"These two are worse than The Queen of hearts." Ruby said letting out a heavy sigh.
"I kind of like them. I just wish there was some way to help them." Belle said while turning the page in her book.
"Yeah, Muzzles." Ruby said taking her pillow and placing it on her head.
The bickering outside continued.
"We have to get them outside of the house." Belle said determined.
