Emma and Regina had been home for about a month and everyone had more or less fallen back into their everyday schedules. The school year had started again so Henry was back at school during the day while his mothers were both at work. This particular morning Emma was trying to catch up with her paperwork and she was just about to take a break to grab lunch and possibly peak in on Regina. Bringing her wife lunch was a good way to Emma to sneak a few minutes alone with Regina everyday and the last few days Regina had been acting…well odd. Emma couldn't pinpoint what Regina was doing that struck her as odd, but she knew something was most definitely up with her wife. Regina claimed that she was simply fighting off a cold and that that could easily explain her fatigue. Emma knew better than to push Regina on this, because in all honesty, Emma had no other explanation for Regina's odd behavior so she figured she would wait and see if things got better on their own.

The phone rang at the office and shook Emma out of her daydreaming as her father answered the phone. "Sherriff's Office, how can I help you? Oh hey Ruby. Sure, hold on." David hit a button on his phone and pointed to the phone on Emma's desk.

"Ruby on line 1 for you, sounded important." Emma picked up the receiver and nestled it between her shoulder and her ear.

"What's up Rubes?"

"Is Regina feeling alright?"

"She's been feeling kind of off the last week or so, but she thought she was just fighting off a cold or the flu or something. Why?" Emma was concerned as to what had prompted her best friend to call her and ask after her wife's wellbeing.

"Well she came in to grab lunch about 20 minutes ago and in that time she's run to the bathroom twice and every time I ask her if she alright she bursts into tears." Emma threw her jacket on and started searching for her keys while still talking to Ruby.

"Is she still there now?"

"Yep, I gave her some ginger ale to help her stomach, but Emma are you sure she's ok because I have never seen her this pale before."

"I'm on my way to come get her, just keep and eye on her till I get there." Emma hung up the phone and immediately found her keys.

"Everything alright?" David questioned as Emma started to leave.

"Sounds like that flu finally caught up with Regina, I'm gonna go take her home." Emma made the quick drive over to the diner in record time and as she walked in the front door she didn't even have to ask Ruby where her wife was because as soon as she stepped into the diner Emma could see her wife sitting in the corner booth with her head resting in her hands. Emma went over and crouched down next to the booth and rubbed Regina's shoulder to get her attention. Regina turned her head slightly, just enough to see Emma looking very concerned.

"Hello dear."

"Hey. Ruby called me and said you weren't feeling very well."

"Not to sound dramatic, but I am quite positive I'm dying." Emma felt bad for laughing, but Regina was the worst patient when she was sick.

"Well, how about we get you home then?" Emma stood up and helped Regina out of the booth. Regina took a few steps before reaching out and grabbed Emma's arm. Emma saw Regina stumble in her step slightly and before she had much of a warning Regina's legs gave out and Emma was left to catch her wife before she hit the ground. Emma was quick and managed to gather Regina up in her arms before she hurt herself, but that fact that her wife was now basically unconscious in her arms was alarming to say the least. By now Ruby was standing next to Emma asking if she could help.

"Help me get Gina in the car and then call the hospital and tell them I'm coming in with her and she unconscious." Ruby help Emma get Regina into the car and as she speed away Ruby was already on the phone with the hospital. Emma came screeching into the hospital loading bay and with no regard for the car, she grabbed Regina and stormed into the ER yelling for help. Dr. Whale was waiting for her and quickly helped Emma get Regina on a gurney that was quickly wheeled into an exam room. Emma watched as they put an oxygen mask on Regina and got ready to hang fluids. Whale ordered blood work to be done and once he gave Regina the once over he turned to Emma.

"We'll know more after the blood work gets back, but it looks like she got severely dehydrated. That coupled with the exhaustion just caused her body to shut down. Nothing too severe and after we get her levels back up I'm sure she'll feel much better."

"Thanks." Whale left to go run the blood work and Emma sat down in the chair next to the make shift bed Regina was still laying on. She had called her parents and told them they would need to grab Henry and take him home. Emma assumed that they would be allowed to go home once Regina woke up so she didn't feel the need to tell her parents much more about what had happened.

"Emma?" Emma shoved her phone back into her pocket and stood next to Regina and ran her fingers through her wife's hair.

"Hey there. You know if you wanted me to sweep you off your feet, there were easier ways."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pull you away from work."

"It's not a big deal, besides I kind of have an in with the mayor." Emma winked and Regina rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Yes, well, I think the mayor would like to go home now." Emma had to push Regina back don toward the pillows as her wife tried to get up.

"Not until they are done getting fluids in you and besides Whale is still running the blood work. He said that if nothing is wrong we can leave after that, but for right now you need to relax and rest."

"Henry?"

"Is with my parents at the house."

"Emma, really I feel much better and I want to go home." Regina sat up in the bed and was about to reach for the IV when Whale came back in.

"Hold your horses Regina, no need to get dramatic and start ripping out IVs."

"Well then perhaps you would be so kind as to let me go home. Tell my wife I'm fine so we can go make sure my in-laws haven't let Henry make popcorn for dinner again."

"Once Regina, they did that once." Whale waved both women to settle down and after marking a few things down he looked at Regina.

"I want you to wait until those fluids run out and then you are free to go, but not a second before then."

"Wait, if she can leave so soon, why did she faint to begin with. Healthy people do not faint." Emma questioned and Regina had to admit she was mildly curious as to why she fainted as well.

"It's what I said before, mix of dehydration and exhaustion was the perfect storm. The full blood panel won't be back in to me until tomorrow, but the basic tests that I can run right away ruled out a lot of scary things, so rest assured Regina is perfectly healthy."

"See, I told you I was fine." Emma rolled her eyes at Regina and thanked Whale for his help.

"I'll send a nurse in to undo the IV in a few minutes. Take care of yourself Regina and watch the dehydration. Pregnant women need to drink a large amount of water." Whale walked out of the room and Regina shot a pointed glare at Emma.

"Wonderful, I'm not dying so let's get the nurse to get in here so we can go home." Emma was still in a state of shock, as most women would be if they were told their wife was pregnant.

"Regina. Darling. Love of my life. Did you hear what Whale just said?"

"Yes he said that once I was done with IV we could go home and to stay hydrated because pregnant…oh." Realization finally hit Regina and she looked to Emma for an explanation. Emma wordlessly dashed into the hallway and saw Whale walking towards his office. The blonde ran up to him and grabbed his lab coat and spun him around to face her.

"Did you literally just walk in, announce that my wife is pregnant and then walk away?"

"I assumed you knew."

"How is that even possible, we're both women?"

"So I gathered Sheriff. You should ask your wife how things like this work in our world. Love is a very powerful thing, especially when both parties have magical capabilities."

"You're telling me that I got Regina pregnant."

"So it would seem. Congratulations Sheriff. Have Regina call my office for prenatal appointments when she is feeling up for it." The doctor walked away from Emma like this was average, everyday news. Emma staggered back to Regina's exam room to find her wife putting her jacket back on.

"What did he say?" Emma didn't know what to say as she was still in a bit of a daze, but her first instinct was to grab Regina by the collar, pull her to her feet and kiss her hard.

"I take it the talk with Whale went well then."

"You're gonna have a baby." Emma let her hand rest on Regina's still flat stomach and Regina swore the smile on Emma's face would cause her alabaster skin to crack under the pressure.

"No, we are going to have a baby." Regina put her hand over Emma's and neither of them could hide the tears in their eyes.

As they walked back to the squad car Regina was the first to say anything more on the matter.

"Can we make one promise about this baby before we start getting caught up in baby fever?"

"Name it."

"We aren't naming it after anymore family members. Henry is the only child I want us to have that shares a family name."

"You just are afraid it's gonna be a girl and my mother would want her name in there somewhere."

"I neither admit nor deny that such a thought even crossed my mind." Emma rolled her eyes and got in the car, quickly putting it in gear. "Let's go home and get you settled while we try and think of ways of telling people about this that won't cause them to faint."

"It's not my fault that you mother fainted after we announced our engagement."

"Regina, they caught us in bed together and you blurted it out, how is that not your fault."

"Maybe it's a little bit my fault, but in all seriousness, they should have knocked."

"Whatever you say babe, whatever you say."
