So I haven't updated in FOREVER and I am truly sorry. Just lack of imagination I guess. Well here is Chapter 7! –L

The past few days had been amazing. The boys stayed with the Charmings so Robin and Regina could have the house to themselves and just relax from all the excitement of the weekend. They decided that they were going to wait until Regina was farther along to announce the pregnancy, in risk of something going wrong. Her appointment with the OB appointment was coming up tomorrow and Robin could tell Regina was nervous. Even though she was okay during the day just being with Robin, at night was a different story. She had been having nightmares since the wedding and it was making Robin nervous. Most of the time she would just toss and turn mumbling something that Robin couldn't quite understand. But this night was different…

It was around 2:30 in the morning when Robin was woken with a blood curdling scream. Luckily the boys were still at the Charmings till tomorrow because Robin and Regina were going to pick them up after their doctors appointment. Robin turned over to see Regina sitting up in bed one hand clutching her stomach and the other over her mouth as she was crying. Robin immediately took her in his arms as tried to calm her down. He put her head on his chest trying to get her to listen to his heart beat because he knows that that's one of the things that has always made her relax. Once the shaking stopped and her breathing was going back to normal Regina let out a long sigh.

"Are you okay?" Robin asked rubbing her back in soothing circles. "what happened?"

"I-I dreamt…. I- Lost it," Regina said casting her head down not being able to look at Robin.

"This isn't the first time you've dreamt this is it?" Robin said pulling her even closer feeling horrible for not knowing what was going on with his own wife.

"No," Regina said. "Ive been keeping something from you and I just don't know how to explain it," Regina said pushing herself away from Robin.

"Whatever it is darling, you know you can tell me," Robin said taking her small delicate hands into his.

Regina took a deep breath and explained how she was supposed to be barren. That when she was the Evil Queen she took a potion to make it so she could never have children because of her mother. "I am just terrified that what if this is a fluke and something goes wrong. These dreams Robin are so real. I can feel the horrible pain of miscarrying. What if that happens to this baby Robin," Regina says as tears are free flowing down her face again. Robin didn't know what to say. They were still very early on in their pregnancy, only about 9 weeks, there is still a very good chance of losing the baby.

"Whatever happens Regina," Robin and tilting her chin up to look into her tear filled eyes, "We will get through this together. We have that appointment later with, um, what you do call her in this land?" Robin said trying to remember

"An OB/GYN," Regina said with a slight chuckle. Robin may have been here for a while now but there are still many aspects of this world that he isn't quite familiar with.

"Right, that. Just explain to her what happened. She can probably help calm down any fears." Robin said. He cupped his hands on her cheeks and gave her a gentle kiss. Regina felt more relaxed from her talk with Robin and moved back down to lay on the bed with her head on Robin's chest listening to his heart beat, lulling her into sleep. Regina slept through the rest of the night without moving a budge. But now Robin lay awake processing all of what Regina just said. He promised himself that he was going to do everything in his power to keep Regina and their baby safe.

It was now 10am and Regina and Robin had arrived at the doctor's office. They signed in and filled out the necessary forms, which Robin was shocked as to just how much they wanted to know, and now were waiting for their names to be called. Not long after they handed the forms back a woman came through the door asking for Mrs. Locksley and brought Regina and Robin back to their private examination room.

"Welcome. So I see this is your first visit." The woman asked. Regina just nodded her head as she sat on the exam table holding Robin's hand. He could tell she was nervous be the death grip she was giving him. "Well then, I am going to ask that you strip everything from the waist down. The doctor will have to do a vaginal examination today since you are still in the early stages of pregnancy. And you said you should be around 9 weeks, correct?" Regina just nodded again. When the woman left Robin helped Regina off the table and took her folded clothes and put them on the chair. She placed the paper thin blanket over her lower half and laid back on the pillow.

"It's going to be fine," Robin said pushing a piece of hair behind her ear and kissing her forehead. Regina gave him a smile as the doctor walked into the room.

"Well hello everyone, my name is Gisselle and I look forward to joining you on this journey together for the next eights months or so," Robin took her hand and gave it a shake and Regina gave a timid smile. It wasn't like her to be standoffish when it came to this kind of action. He could tell just how nervous she was with this whole situation. "Okay lets go through some questions then," Gisselle said sitting on her chair. "Have you been having any nausea yet?"

"Uh thankfully no, not yet," Regina said quietly looking for Robin's hand again.

"Any cramping or bleeding?

"Um no…" Regina said as Robin took his free hand and rubbed her shoulder.

"Its okay to be nervous Regina. This is your first pregnancy right?" Regina nodded. "Do you have any concerns you want to share with me?" Regina looked up at Robin, not wanting to open herself up.

"We are just nervous of a miscarriage doc," Robin said. "She keeps having these dreams of having them and as you can tell it has shaken her up a bit," Robin explain as he kept rubbing her back in a soothing matter.

"And that can be normal. Some woman have fears of losing their baby early on. Is there any specific reason as to why you are so nervous about this? We may be able to look for early signs if someone has happened to you in the past."

Regina took a deep breath and explain to the doctor just like she did to Robin how she took a potion long ago to be barren and how this was never suppose to happen. She explains that she-they are ecstatic but there must have been a flaw somewhere. The doctor nods her heads.

"Okay then, lets take a look and see what we have and go from there." Regina lays back. The doctor had explained to Regina and Robin that for a better image they were going to do a transvaginal ultrasound. Robin was horrified when he saw what was ultimately going to go into Regina and almost flipped a lid. Regina saw him start to freak out and just took his hand and gave him a reassuring smile. She had to admit it was a bit uncomfortable at first but once there was a picture they couldn't keep their eyes off the screen. Gisselle stared intently at the screen, pressing buttons and writing down notes Regina couldn't read.

"Is everything okay?" Regina said nervously. Gisselle takes a moment before answering, making Regina start to panic and look into Robin's eyes as they started to tear up.

"Well…" Gisselle took a deep breath. "From what I can see your baby is in perfect health. The right size and weight for a 9 week old."

"That's good news isn't it? Why does it feel like there is something you're not telling us." Robin says.

"Okay. So everything with your baby is great. However it looks like you have scarring in your uterus."

"Scarring?" Regina said. "But h-" she begins to say but then remembers what she did to her own body all those years ago.

"Is it dangerous for the baby," Robin says snapping Regina back into it.

"Well this is where it gets tricky. Normally I would say to a regular woman that they would be fine. But with you, your majesty, I do worry." This causing Regina to sit up straighter, squeezing Robin's hand. "I worry that with the extra stress of using magic and when something attacks… I know you have changed to be good and want to protect this town. The only way I believe you will carry to term is if you stay away from any impending villains attacking, and not using any magic." Regina remained quiet as the doctor was explaining what she need to do, or in this case not do, to have a successful pregnancy. Gisselle gave them a prescription for some vitamins and sent them on their way with some sonogram pictures and told them to be back in one month or if something comes up to come in right away. Robin could tell that Regina was upset from their visit. They were walking back to the house, hand in hand, when he heard her let out a sigh. He turned his head to see that there were tears streaming down her face. He stopped and pulled her into an embrace. He hadn't realized they were just outside he manor so he held her close, kissing the top of her head and walked her inside to house bringing her right the to couch sitting down laying her head on his chest.

"What have I done," Regina sobbed.

"Darling it's going to be okay," Robin rubbed her back.

"You don't know that! Because of me we could lose our child!" Regina sobbed.

"Honey this isn't good for either of you. Remember what Gisselle said, she didn't want you to be stressed out so much."

"How am I possibly suppose to be less stressed out when she told me that likelihood of this baby surviving is basically zero to nothing because of the damn potion I took all those years ago! How am I suppose to be less stressed knowing that at any moment I could miscarry and lose our baby Robin! I can't lose another person in my life because of my poor actions Robin!" Regina just buries her head into Robin's chest. He just lets her cry knowing there wasn't much getting through to her now. After a couple minutes her feels her breath even out. He looks down and sees that she has fallen asleep. He picks her up from the couch trying not to wake her. She mumbles something about Roland and eating something he shouldn't. Robin chuckles a little and bounds up the stairs, going into their room and laying her down on the bed. Her tucks her in knowing how exhausted she must be. He kisses the top of her head and goes downstairs to get the phone to call the Charmings.

"Hello?" Snow answered the phone.

"Hey Snow its Robin. How are the boys?" Robin asked.

"They are fine. They are wondering when you guys are coming to pick them up. I thought you were coming over this morning?" Snow questioned.

"Yea about that.. Regina didn't feel well this morning so I wanted to give her some more time to sleep before the boys come home." Robin said hoping she wouldn't ask anything more. Of course he was wrong…

"Sick! Still? You should take her to the doctors or something!" Snow exclaimed.

"You know Ill talk to her about it thanks Snow. I can come by around 3 to pick them up is that okay?" Robin said

"Of course. Hopefully Regina feels better. I'll see you around then." Snow said and hung up the phone. While he was in the kitchen he cut up some fruit and was going to bring up to her. It had been a couple of hours and it was getting close to having to pick up the boys from the Charmings. As he opened the door to the bedroom he saw her start to stir. He walked around to the end table next to her side of the bed and sat down on the open space. With her eyes still full of sleep he takes his hand and swipes some of her raven locks behind her ear placing a kiss on her forehead.

"I brought you some fruit. Are you feeling better?" He said moving his arm to rest of her waist. She lets out a breath and started to sit up in the bed. She took the bowl with the fruit and placed it in her lap taking a piece and putting it in her mouth. "Look I know those weren't exactly the words we wanted to hear, but she did say the baby was perfectly healthy. We just have to be extra careful for the next 7 months. You've been light on the magic the past couple months so not using it shouldn't be that hard right?" He said swiping his thumb over her stomach.

"You're right. Our baby is healthy that is all that matters," She said giving him a kiss. "Hopefully this peacefulness we have had the past couple months will stay that way a little longer."

"I couldn't agree more," Robin said leaning in for another kiss. "We do have to get ready soon to pick up the boys. We can stop by the pharmacy and pick up your vitamins then swing by the Charmings to pick them up." Regina nodded, finished her fruit and got out of bed to change. They left the house, picked up her vitamins and were at the door at the Charming's apartment. "Oh and Snow thinks you aren't feeling well…" Robin said. Regina just looked at him, took his hand a smiled.

"I love you," Regina said giving him a kiss. At that moment Snow answered the door.

"Regina! Are you feeling better?! I figured it would just be Robin to pick up the boys." Snow said letting them in.

"I- um. I'm feeling better. I think it was just something I ate last night. Didn't sit well," Regina said leaning into Robin a little. "Are the boys ready?"

"Gina!" Roland said sprinting towards his new mother. He jumped up causing Regina to catch him mid air, knocking some of the wind out of her.

"Roland be careful!" Robin said. No one still knew about the baby so Robin's outburst was a little odd. "Just… mommy hasn't been feeling well okay son," Robin said in a lighter tone. Regina kissed Roland's head and placed him back on the ground.

"Sorry mommy," Roland said looking down.

"It's okay honey. Did you have fun with Snow and David?" Regina said fixing Roland's hair. Roland then went on and on about all the games they played and visiting the park. Henry comes out of the room with all of their stuff.

"Hey mom! Feeling better?" Henry said putting down that bags and giving her a hug.

"Much," Regina said kissing the top of his head. "Ready to go home? I thought I would make lasagna tonight."

"Yes!" Everything exclaimed. Regina chuckled.

They had stopped by the store to get the necessary ingredients, and a few extras Regina saw that she just needed to have (Rocky road ice cream claiming it was just and extra treat for everyone being home). While in the store they were turning a corner when Regina bumped into an older woman by accident.

"Ompf…" Regina said. "Oh I am so sorry I wasn't paying attention"

"Yes well next time you might want to do that," The older woman said to her. She looked familiar to Regina and finally realized she was Roland's teacher.

"Excuse me?" Regina said giving her best evil queen glare.

"Well darling, maybe you should pay more attention to your surroundings. Teach your son the same," the woman said. Regina saw red at that comment.

"How dare you! I said I was sorry. It was an accident. I suggest you move along on your way," Regina glared.

"Now don't get flustered dear. Wouldn't want something to explode now would we," the woman said leaving the family to check out. Regina was more than pissed. Who did she think was. And why would she bring Roland into it. She remembered Roland said something about not liking his teacher.

"Relax honey," Robin said into her ear. "Lets just get out of here and go home. Ignore that old hag." Regina let out a breath and paid for their groceries and left for the house to start dinner. The boys ran into the house dropping their stuff in the foyer and ran up to their room to play video games before dinner. Robin and Regina brought the groceries into the kitchen. Taking out all the items in the bag he noticed the ice cream. "What's this?" Robin asked.

"Umm, the baby wanted it?" Regina said with a smile. "Can't deny something our child wants now can I."

"Never!" Robin said wrapping his arms around her. "What did the boys say. They were probably surprised."

"I just said that since were are all back together as a family it's a little treat. They bought it," she said giving him a kiss. The kiss lingered a bit before Regina pulled back and said, "Did I ever tell you how happy I am."

"I love you and our little miracle," Robin said placing a hand on her stomach. He kissed her and again and helped to start dinner. An hour later dinner was ready. Everyone was sitting at the table digging in to the lasagna except for Regina. The usual heavenly smell was replaced by something not so pleasant. She tried to pretend to eat something knowing she had to for her child. She just pushed the food around her plate hoping no one would notice. The boys were in a deep conversation when Robin looked up noticing she wasn't eating. He nodded to her plate silently asking why she wasn't eating. She just looked down and placed a hand on her stomach. Robin instantly understood. He felt bad. Normally she would probably eat if they were alone, but he knew she didn't want to make the boys worried. Once she noticed they were don't she gathered their plates to put on top of hers and went into the kitchen.

"Can I make you anything?" Robin said as Regina was packing up the left over food.

"For some reason I could really go for a cheeseburger from Granny's" Regina said giving him a look.

"For you my queen anything," Robin said already getting his coat to go get her some food. Hopefully she will still want it when he gets back. She sent the boys upstairs to finish their homework. Robin had gotten back just in time because she was starving.

"I thought you would never get back!" Regina said taking out the box and taking a big bite of the juicy cheeseburger.

"That good huh," Robin laughed.

"You have no idea. Hopefully she likes it too." Regina said taking a fry and dipping it into some ketchup.

"She?" Robin said. "You think it's a girl."

"I-well…I guess. I don't like calling our baby it." Regina said placing the burger back down in the to-go container. "What do you think? Would you be okay with a girl?"

"Of course!" Robin said taking a step closer to his wife placing his hands on her waist. "She would be our little princess. She would have me wrapped around her little finger…She already does," he chuckled.

"Can you check on the boys and make sure they are ready for bed? I'm going to clean up her quickly before the baby decides she doesn't like what I just ate."

"Of course," he said. "I'll see you upstairs. Robin went upstairs, made sure the boys homework was done and they were in bed. When he was just about done with Henry he heard some quick shuffling into their room and the door slam. Oh no Robin thought. He said goodnight to Henry and went into their room. He could hear her gagging in the bathroom. He opened the door and found her with her head in the toilet and tears running down her face.

"Oh honey," Robin said grabbing a face cloth and put it under some cold water and placed it on the back of her neck. Once she stopped throwing up she sat back and rested her head on his shoulder. "Are you okay? I'm guessing the baby disagreed."

"It's normal. Eventually it will go away," Regina said as Robin helped her up. She brushed her teeth, changed into her pajamas and got into bed curling up into Robin's side. "No stress and no magic," Regina said looking up into Robin's eyes. "I don't know how that's going to work. We are always getting attacks by some form of monster and some times I don't even realize I am using my magic. I just want to keep her safe," Regina said.

"I know it's going to be hard but you have to have hope that we can get through this together. I love you and I will go to hell and back for you. Nothing is going to happen to this baby. She is our little miracle and I will do anything for her. Now get some rest. I'll always be by your side. I promise," Robin said kissing her on the lips and holing her tight. They both drifted off into a much needed sleep because the challenges that are ahead of them…well their going to need it.
