That night they had celebrated. It had been a quiet celebration (well as quiet as they could be) but a celebration all the same. It had left them both very tired, so tired that they forgot to put something back on and just slept soundly in one another's arms.
Charlotte came bounding into the room, she was awake so decided that her mommy and daddy should be awake to. "Mommy, Daddy time to gets up!" Charlotte said loudly, making both Regina and Robin jump and wake with a start.
Robin dropped the covers slightly exposing his bare chest which wasn't an unusual thing as he only wore pyjama bottoms to bed, however Regina clutched the covers to her body. Quickly remembering what they had done the night before and the fact she had not re-dressed herself. Robin leaned down and picked up his pyjama bottoms from the floor and slyly slid them back on.
Charlotte frowned as she looked at Regina. "Mommy why you not wearing your pyjamas?" Charlotte asked. She hadn't seemed to notice Robin.
"I…" Regina started and then tried to think quickly. "I was too warm sweetheart."
"Is that because you were poorly mommy?" Charlotte asked.
"Yes something like that." Regina nodded. She then looked over at Robin silently asking for help. He nodded and slipped from the bed, now dressed, and walked round and picked Charlotte up.
"Come on princess. Let's go downstairs and start on breakfast. Let mommy get up." Robin said.
"Alright daddy." Charlotte smiled.
Regina sighed and rested back against the pillows. A smile fell onto her face as she placed a hand on her flat stomach. She was pregnant again. Only three years previously did she think she couldn't have children and now she was pregnant with her second child. She couldn't believe it. She sat up and looked down to see her pyjamas lying in a pile beside the bed. She leaned over and grabbed them and pulled them on. She thought she better go downstairs before Charlotte decided to come looking for her again.
She walked downstairs and just as she got to the kitchen a smell hit her sending a wave of nausea over her. A smell of apples. Robin looked up just as Regina placed a hand to her mouth and ran out of the room heading towards the downstairs toilet. He turned the heat on low. "Charlotte don't touch anything okay, I'll be back in a minute."
"Okay daddy." She said as she watched Robin quickly leaving the room.
Robin made his way to the bathroom and saw Regina sitting on the floor, emptying whatever was in her stomach into the toilet. He went over to her holding her hair back and rubbing her back soothingly. "It's alright Regina. I'm here."
"It's…not alright…" She said in between heaves. Once she was sure she was finished she flushed the toilet and rested back on her feet. Running her fingers through her hair she sighed.
"Did something make you feel sick? Or was it just the baby?" Robin asked.
"No it wasn't just the baby." Regina shook her head. "It was the smell of breakfast."
"Oh thanks." Robin said with a little chuckle on the end. "Does it smell that bad?"
Regina giggled slightly. "I am sure on a normal day it would smell lovely Robin. But today not so much. You were using apples?"
Robin nodded. "Yes Charlotte wanted pancakes so I thought I'd make you some apple pancakes. Why?"
"It was the smell of the apples." Regina said quietly. Oh how ironic!
"The smell of apples? That's what made you sick?" Robin asked. He tried to bite back the laughter that was sure to escape. He couldn't help but find the irony funny. Regina loved apples. It was her signature when she was the Evil Queen and now the mere smell of them made her sick.
Regina looked up at Robin and could see he was trying his hardest not to laugh. She rolled her eyes at him. "Don't you dare laugh at me thief! This is your fault."
"I seem to recall you having every bit to blame for this as I do. You were very up for it that night." Robin smirked.
"You got me drunk." Regina snapped back trying not to smile. "Took advantage of me in a weak state."
"I seem to remember you telling me we could take a chance so to speak." Robin added in remembering they had a little problem with no protection in the house but not particularly willing to stop what they were doing.
Regina rolled her eyes. She couldn't argue with that one. She had been the one to say that, she had been more than happy to take the chance that night. "Fine but it is still your fault." She huffed slightly and crossed her arms over her chest.
Robin laughed and he kissed the top of her head. "Oh come on now. No acting like our three year old. Come on let's get some breakfast." He said helping her up.
"I'm not going anywhere near that kitchen until the smell of apples is away. If I do I will be straight back in here." Regina replied. "This baby does not like apples." She said placing her hand on her stomach.
Robin smiled and he bent down slightly so that he was face to face with her stomach. He lifted her shirt up slightly, exposing her stomach and kissing it a little making Regina giggle. "Come on little one, try ease up on mommy. No more sickness, okay?"
Regina giggled some more. "You really think that will work?"
"Worth a try." Robin said straightening up. He then placed a kiss to her cheek. "I will go and bin the apple pancakes and spray some air freshener around the house and you freshen up. What would you like instead?"
"Anything apart from apple." Regina smiled.
"I will see what I can do mi'lady." He said before leaving the room.
Regina walked over to the sink and splashed some water in her face. She then rinsed her mouth out a little. leaning on the sink she looked into the mirror and noticed that she didn't look her best. She still had a terrible headache and the constant nausea but it had died down slightly. Sighing she ran her fingers through her hair and made her way out of the bathroom and back through to the kitchen that no longer smelt like apples which she was glad of. She went over to Charlotte and picked her up from behind making Charlotte laugh. She kissed her daughters cheek and the placed her back down.
"Mommy daddy was teaching me a song that he sung to you when you gots married." Charlotte said happily. "He tolds me the proper one and then the one he sung to you."
"Oh did he now?" Regina asked smiling. She remembered exactly what song she was talking about. "And does daddy still remember all those words?"
"What words?" Roland asked as he walked into the room rubbing his eyes.
"The words to the song daddy sung to mommy when they gots married." Charlotte said running over to Roland. "Do you know it Roland?"
Roland just shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure. Maybe."
"Oh you know it my boy." Robin added.
"Daddy sing it again. Please." Charlotte asked jumping up and down. "Please, please please!"
Robin sighed jokingly. "Alright alright if I must." He cleared his throat and walked over to Regina, taking her hand in his and began to sing which made Roland and Charlotte giggle and Regina roll her eyes but she had a big grin on her face. "Have you ever seen the seagulls a-flying on to heaven? Or the crimson sails on Galway Bay the fishermen unfurl. Oh, the Earth is filled with beauty and its gathered all together. In the form and face and dainty grace of a pretty, pretty girl. Oh, she is my dear, my darling one . Her eyes so sparkling full of fun. No other, no other can match the likes of her. Oh, she is my dear, my darling one. My smiling and beguiling one. I love the ground she walks upon. My darling pretty girl."
Regina couldn't help the blush that crept onto her face. She blushed the first time he sang that to her and she would blush every time he sang it to her. She loved it and his voice was perfect to the song she always felt. Charlotte was jumping up and down happily giggling with Roland.
"I remember that song papa." Roland said.
"I thought you would." Robin smiled.
"Why did you tell her about that?" Regina asked.
"She wanted to know if I knew any songs and that song came to mind." Robin said pulling Regina to him placing a soft kiss to her lips.
"EW!" Roland and Charlotte said at the same time covering their eyes make Regina and Robin laugh.
Robin then pulled away. "Right you two breakfast is ready, so go sit down."
Charlotte and Roland ran out of the room and Regina went over to Robin and kissed him again. "Thank you for making breakfast."
"You're welcome my darling pretty girl." Robin replied making Regina giggle.
Hey guys, if you are wondering what the song is that Robin sings it is called 'My pretty Irish Girl'. It is one of my most favourite songs and I had to include it. As you will have noticed I have replaced Irish with pretty in the version Robin sings to Regina. Here is a link to the song if you fancy listening to it - watch?v=1Rt1MFFuX8s
