"Oh, I see what you mean. Can't you just tell him about her iron being low and how she needs to take better care of herself?" Mary Margaret offered trying to think of something that would appease Robin.

"Do you think it would work with him?" Dr. Whale asked.

"Are you kidding? No man is going to think about a woman being pregnant because her iron is low." Mary Margaret assured him.

"Unless they were a doctor." Dr. Whale said with a cheeky grin.

"Let's try it on David then." Mary Margaret said. She opened the door and called for David to join them.

"Wait a minute. Why is he allowed to go in?" Robin questioned the now empty waiting room, glaring at the once again closed door.

"What's going on?" David asked when he came into the room.

"David if I told you my iron was low, what would you think?" Mary Margaret asked her husband.

"Well I would think...your iron is low… And that you need to take medicine to get your iron back up," David answered with a confused look on his face.

"See, what did I tell you?" Mary Margaret smiled satisfied with her plan.

"Ok, we can try it, but if he doesn't buy it, you better think of something else quick," Dr. Whale warned, still not wanting to have the wrath of Regina turned on him.

"What am I missing here?" David asked as he looked at his wife for answers.

"Nothing, come on." Mary Margaret said as she led David back into the waiting room with Dr. Whale following. Robin was pacing like a caged lion, but turned to them expectantly as soon as he heard the door open. They could tell from the look on his face he was angry but also scared.

"Tell me what is going on with Regina right now." Robin demanded as he walked over to Dr. Whale. He was about to grab the poor doctor, when David stopped him.

"Hold on Robin, let him speak." David said as he looked at Dr. Whale.

"I'm not supposed to give out this information, but the reason she lost consciousness was because her iron levels are low." Dr. Whale explained. A look of confusion from the thief was his reward.

"How did that happen?" Robin asked, slightly relieved that nothing more serious was wrong.

"Well, she's been through a lot lately. With all she has been through the last few weeks, I have no doubt she had not been taking proper care of herself." Dr. Whale answered as vaguely as possible.

"What does she need to help this from happening again?" Robin asked, wanting to do anything to help her.

"She is going to need a lot rest, better diet and she needs to start taking better care of herself." Dr. Whale answered honestly. He also made a note to himself to get her on some prenatal vitamins before she left the hospital.

"And that's all?" Robin asked, still concerned for Regina.

"Yes, but it wouldn't hurt for her to come by every so often just to do a checkup." the doctor added, already thinking of her OB-GYN visits. She would have to start coming in regularly. This baby was obviously very special. There was no telling what powers it would have or what it could be capable of doing.

"See Robin, she just needs some rest and to change her lifestyle a bit. She will be just fine." Mary Margaret once again reassured him. She was trying her best not to smile, but she was so happy about this baby that her face was beginning to ache from the effort.

"Ok, can I see her?" Robin asked Dr. Whale.

"Give her a few more minutes, then I'll take you to her." Dr. Whale said as he walked off to check in with Regina. He needed to talk to her, before Robin saw her. He knocked on her door before entering. When he entered, he found her sitting up in the bed.

"You are looking much better Madame Mayor." Dr. Whale said as he walked over to stand beside her.

"I feel better, now when can I get out of here?" Regina asked as she tried to avoid his gaze.

"Before you leave, I think we have a few things to talk about, don't you?" Dr. Whale asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

"You know, don't you?" Regina asked as she looked at him finally.

"The test was accurate. Plus there is another symptom." Dr. Whale said as Regina looked at him with a question in her eyes. "Your baby evidently seems to be able to protect you even when you are out cold."

"She did something to you, didn't she?" Regina asked with a slight smile on her face.

"She?" Dr. Whale asked, knowing it was far too early for her to know what the baby's sex was.

"Only a feeling I have," Regina replied while her hand moved to her stomach. "Is she okay? The fall didn't hurt her, did it?" Regina asked, wanting some reassurance.

"Like I said earlier, your baby is your best protector and no harm has come to either of you, but your iron levels are low. I would like to start you on some prenatal vitamins, so we don't have any more of these surprise visits." Dr. Whale said.

"I promise, I will take better care of myself." Regina swore. She had already promised herself as much.

"And now we come to a trickier subject." Dr. Whale smiled at her words, but they still had to deal with the man in the waiting room.

"Robin's here, oh my god is Roland okay. I need to go see him." Regina was surprisingly flustered as she moved to get out of her hospital bed.

"Regina you need to..." Dr. Whale started to warn her as he moved to keep her in the bed, when another flash of white light came at him and sent him back a few steps.

"Your little one sure doesn't care for me." Dr. Whale frowned, collecting himself.

"Can you blame her? After what you did?" Regina snapped, her mind automatically picturing her last encounter with Daniel.

"I am sorry about all that." Whale apologized again, before changing the subject. "Roland is okay. Little John happened to be at your house. He brought you and Roland to the hospital," he continued, explaining what had happened.

"I feel so bad that Roland had to see that. He must have been so scared." Regina whispered, thinking of the precious little boy.

"Are you up to visitors?" Dr. Whale asked.

"Yes, yes I suppose." Regina said, straightening herself up in the bed. Dr. Whale left and went to tell Robin and the others. A few minutes later, her door opened and in ran a little boy.

"Gina!" Roland said as he jumped up in the bed beside her.

"My little knight." Regina said as she hugged him back.

"I was so scared. Are you better?" Roland asked. Regina looked up to see Robin standing there looking at her.

"I'm fine. I am sorry that you were scared though, Roland." Regina said.

"I'm just happy you are okay now. Daddy was worried bout you." Roland said as he looked back at his father.

"Yes, I was indeed. I'm very happy to see you are doing better." Robin said as he came and sat down beside her. Just then, Mary Margaret and David came in the room.

"Regina, we are very happy you are doing better." Mary Margaret said as she looked at Regina and gave her a knowing smile. It immediately made Regina suspect that her stepdaughter was somehow in on her secret, but she would have to deal with that later.

"I'm ok. Everyone is just over-reacting." Regina insisted, though a surprisingly large part of her was pleased that so many people cared what happened to her. It felt good to think that these people cared about her.

"Roland, why don't you and I go and see if we can find a donut?" Mary Margaret offered figuring that the adults would like a moment alone. She took Roland's hand and left the room with David.

"Are you really alright?" Robin asked as he took her hand.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Regina said.

"I am worried. If anything happened to you…" Robin started, but floundered not wanting to finish the sentence much less the thought.

"I'm sorry that Roland was scared," Regina said trying to change the subject.

"He's fine. He was just worried about you. He is very attached to you. As is his father." Robin said as he leaned up and kissed her lips. It was just a simple kiss. One that stemmed from relief that she was safe. And one that contained all the love he felt for her. In other words, it was rather overwhelming.

"How long do you have to stay here?" Robin asked when they separated. As she answered, he kissed her hands, causing her to stutter a bit.

"I'm sure I can leave… today. I just need to… speak with Dr. Whale one more time."

She needed to get the vitamins Whale wanted her to start taking. She needed to go to the store and get some healthier groceries. She needed a nap. And just when she was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed again, she felt a flutter in her stomach. Before she could stop herself she let out a gasp and her hand was on her stomach instantly.

"What's wrong?" Robin asked, instantly alarmed.

"Nothing. Everything is ok. I just had a cramp in my leg is all." Regina said as the flutter continued.

"Then why is your hand on your stomach?" Robin asked, not sure he should believe her.

"It is nothing. I need to rub my leg." Regina said as she moved the covers and started to massage her leg hoping Robin would believe her.

"Allow me." Robin offered, moving her hands and starting to massage her leg. She sat back and enjoyed the massage. The flutter started again, stronger this time. She thought that her daughter, because yes now she knew in her heart she was having a little girl, and she knew her daughter knew her father was around and it was making them both feel better.

"Better now?" Robin said when he looked up at her. She had her hand on her stomach again and a smile on her face of pure joy. He wondered what was causing that look.

"What is it?" Robin asked, he had to know. "Why do you have such a look on your face right now? What is going on in that beautiful head?"

She looked him right in the eyes. He saw her lips part, but no words escaped and then they closed again.

"Tell me, please." Robin pleaded, wishing with all his heart that she would tell him her secret.
