A small dose of fluff before we get the ball rolling for some drama~! Enjoy the fluff while you can ;D

"I had fun Snowflake." Bloody Mary said at the entrance of the building. Eventually the hours rolled by, the event soon came to an end. It felt so odd, time flew by when she was dancing with Mary.

"I did too..." offering her a small and kind smile to Mary. Snow touched the brooch that was pinned upon her dress. "Thank you for the brooch."

"Don't mention it." Mary mused, crossing her arms she watched a yellow taxi pull up. "Well, that's my ride." she was about to take her leave until Snow quickly yet gently grabbed her arm.

"Excuse me, I was wondering... if maybe..." Snow's eyes awkwardly averted from Mary.

"Yes?"

There was a quick pause, Snow surly didn't want this to be the last time she saw Bloody Mary. Tonight was the most fun she had in such a long while, it would be a rather enjoyable to see Mary again.

"Would you... like to meet up again sometime?" Snow suggested.

Mary's lips curled into a pleased smile upon hearing that question.

"I thought you would never ask Snow."

The subtle scent of flora scented bubble bath filled Snow's nostrils. The bathroom was dimly lit with a few scentless white candles. Her slender fingers fidgeted with a strip of white silk. Once undoing the knot that held her white robe in place, the silk means of the robe fell to the floor. Snow slowly dipped her foot into the bath water, it wasn't pipping hot, basically not hot nor cold.

Once deciding the water was a suitable heat Snow soon fully submerge herself into the bubbly bath.

"How's the water?" asked Mary, clad in a white towel wrapped around her body.

"Just fine, come on in." she reassured.

Her lover let the towel drop to the ground. It was then Snow manage to notice a very faint swell of the stomach, nearing three months it would seemed natural there would be a bit of a curve. Bloody Mary slowly submerged herself into the water.

This seemed like a good way to end Valentines day, a nice bath with soft cloud like bubbles that smelled like roses, a few candles to light up the bathroom. To Snow there was no better way to end tonight.

Once they two finally got settled she rested her head onto Mary's shoulder. A soft smile appeared her freckled face, running her hands through Snow's wavy raven black hair.

"What is with you and my hair?" a small laugh as Bloody Mary put an arm around her.

"You know I would grow mine out if I could."

"Then why don't you? Your hair grows fairly fast." Snow shifted her leg to give her wife more room, or the very least make sure she was more comfortable in the water.

"Yeah, but it's a pain in the ass to deal with." Mary informed, sinking deeper into the water until only her neck remained above water. "I'll take an extra hour of sleep over fussing with my hair thank you very much." she huffed. "God I need this... Most comfortable I been since I woke up."

Mary let out a sigh. "Nausea, boobs are as tender as fuck, and most of my clothes aren't fitting... And I still got seven more months of this bullshit to go through."

"Well... you're almost three months, so it would be more like six months..." Snow gawked at Mary with her big blue eyes. "Jesus, it seems like yesterday we found out." her voice contained nothing but disbelief.

They started trying the in vitro process for what seemed like centuries, and failed round after failed round of in vitro they were used to the disappointment of the end results of nothing happening. But since they made there little discovery in January things were finally going their way for once.

Bloody Mary kissed the top of her head. "Time flies when you're having fun eh?"

"Fun? I'm a goddamn worried mess. It's bad enough I miss the majority of your appointments due to work, we haven't even looked cribs or clothes-" She was shushed when Mary playfully threw a handful of bubbles at her. "Hey!"

"You worry way too much." her tone was playful and teasing. "And you aren't even the pregnant one. Aren't I suppose to be worrying my ass off here?"

Snow's brows buckled as she wiped the white bubbles off of her face. "I'm just worried-"

"Then don't worry, doc says I'm as healthy as a horse. No need to worry your pretty little head." Mary reassured. "Just relax, might not get time to after the little shit is born."

"Little shit? Really Mary?" Snow scoffed.

"Oh shut up, I can't drink alcohol or eat any of the foods I like. I'll call it whatever I want to call it. So I suggest you get used to little shit." she snuggled into Snow. "Let's relax while we can. I want our last valentines day as just the two of us to be special."

A soft smile formed on Snow's lips, her fingers ran through her wife's short, red streaked hair.

"Of course, love you Mary."

"Love ya too Snowy."

Valentines day came and went, three days passed and nothing eventful happened. Mary still worked her job at the clothing department with Beauty and Tiny Tim, both still unaware of there expecting co-worker.

Work was the same as always in Business office. Filling out paper work, dealing with complains, getting Fables set up with glamours. It was nothing all that fabulous, but it paid the bills and helped many Fables in the process.

"Still working?"

Looking up from there stood Bigby, cigarette and coffee in hand.

"While they call it work for a reason Bigby." she informed.

"You missed lunch." he stated polishing off the rest of his coffee.

"I did?"

Glancing at the clock it revealed it was already well past noon.

"You been working your ass off since you got here." he raised an eye brow. "And I suspect there's a reason for doing so?"

Letting out a defeated sigh she finally set her pen aside. Of course he would noticed...

"I just want to leave work earlier tonight." she confessed.

"Let me guess, you want too see Mary more?"

"Yeah, that's it." Although not the only reason it would most likely be the only one to get Bigby off her case. "I just want to spend more time with her... you know? I know it sounds selfish but I can't even make most of her doctor appointments. She says it's fine, she knows I'm busy... but I can't help but feel guilty." her lips shifted into a frown.

"It's not your fault Snow, and you deserve to spend time with Mary." Bigby adjusted his tie. "Speaking of which how is she?"

"Pretty good, those sour candies Swineheart recommended for nausea really does the trick. What were they called again?... Preggie pops I think?" Snow gave a small smile. "Only problem is now she's craving sour things like crazy. Either sucking on warheads candies or eating grapefruit like its going out of style."

"That's good, but shouldn't you be thinking about yourself?"

"Excuse me?"

"Did you even eat breakfast this morning?"

Her cheeks flushed a bright shade of scarlet. She was too busy preparing a nice breakfast of French toast and a small side of bacon for a nice little breakfast in bed for Mary. Snow had completely forgotten about herself.

"Oh...ummm no... I guess?"

Her stomach gave a rather loud growl, this only made her cheeks go redder. Bigby chuckled and put his cigarette out in a nearby ashtray.

"Come on, we still got forty five minutes till we got to be back. Let's go to the Cut above, my treat." he offered.

Normally she would offer to pay, but since Snow gave her wife her credit card to buy some new clothes she could fit and grow into, and she forgot to bring a lunch from home she might as well take that offer. Plus it's been awhile since Snow been to The cut above, maybe because Bloody Mary couldn't eat deil meats currently.

"Sounds nice, just let me finish up this last paper."

Bloody Mary couldn't had been more out of her element if she tried. She was never much of a shopper when it came to clothing. Normally she would just go to whatever store and buy a pair of jeans, shirts , or whatever else she needed. Long as it fitted her and wasn't pink she was fine. But things were a tad different now...

Mary shuffled awkwardly in her spot, standing before her was a maturity store. Snow White had suggested that she should go out and buy some clothes that she could grow into and be comfortable in. Easier said then down, now Bloody Mary really regretted not reading more of those books sooner. Maybe they could had given her some insight about what to buy. Of course the urge to just leave and wait until Snow had a day off was tempting, but the constricting waistline of her pants kept her from doing so. Rather then feel like an overstuffed sausage for a few more days Bloody Mary decided just to suck it up and venture around town for clothes.

The place Snow suggested seemed far from any run of the mill store. It seemed for more of the classy types of folks, like Snow herself, with it's white theme, and mannequins clad in evening dresses, and big pearl necklaces wrapped around their headless necks. All she wanted was one or two jeans that fitted...

"Just go in, find a decent pair of jeans, then leave." whispering herself up a little pep talk. "Can't be that hard..."

At long last Bloody Mary entered the store. It was fairly large, seemingly endless rows of clothes that ranged from dresses and pants to lingerie and pantsuits.

"Hello."

Snapping out of her trance like state Mary then noticed a woman in front of her. She was a tall Asian woman, her black hair done into a neat bun, she bore a big and happy smile on her face. Clearly this woman worked here judging by the name tag which read 'Natalie'.

"Looking for anything? Perhaps I can be of service?"

Her voice was laced with nothing was pure eagerness, it reminded Mary of a playful puppy.

"I'm just looking for jeans..."

Why did that sound so awkward? Maybe she should has waited until Snow had some time off...

"Perfect!" Natalie clapped her hands together. "We're having a buy two get the next one half off. We're also having a fifty percent off sale on swimsuits, we want to sell the ones from last summer and make way for out new ones for this summer."

Yup, an eager puppy alright. But it was rather nice, Natalie didn't make Bloody Mary feel like fool, but she seemed a bit too friendly.

"Do you need any help with selections? It's can always be confusing for a first timer."

"First timer? And yes some help would be great."

"First time mothers, our jeans are just down to the back of the store. Come along now."

Sure enough Mary was shortly in a changing room with at least five pairs of the most simple jeans the store stocked, as well as a black tankini. Just because Natalie was gushing about how cheap they we're compare to how pricey swimwear would get in the summer. Plus it came in black, bonus.

Setting her findings on a chair she undid her pants, relived when she slide them off. Now for the rather awkward part... Hanging on a sterling silver hook was a velcro strap, attracted to it was a pillow like bump. Apparently it helps to know how maternity would fit once you grow into them. Natalie reassured her that everyone's a bit different in their pregnancy, some carry high and some carry wide.

Feeling rather silly she strapped the pillow around her waist, once the bump was secure she couldn't help but chuckle. She felt ridiculous, this pillowy thing certainly wasn't helping. Undoing the strap and removing the pillow type of thing from her waist she glanced at her own little stomach. There was certainly a curve slowly starting to form, it was anything to dramatic but it was there. Idly her fingers drummed against the subtle swell, hard to believe this was actually happening, to think she and Snow were about to give up. She couldn't help but feel a little proud of herself.

Not wanting to take up the dressing room forever she grabbed the velcro strap again. And after placing it back on she tried on the stack of clothes.

By the time Mary left the shop she was now the proud owner of two pairs of maternity jeans, and a tankini.

It was such a relief to finally eat something that was crossed off of the stuff her wife could eat. Funny since Snow never cared for deli meats much, but it was nice to eat something at last.

"By the way, I been meaning to ask you, what did you and Faith do for Valentines day?" Snow asked after she swallowed a mouthful of her ham and cheese sandwich.

The two of them were back from there little trip to the Cut above. Johann always kept the best sliced meats, perfect for great sandwiches. Now they were back in Fabletown office.

"Rented a few bad movies, got a bottle of red wine, got Faith some flowers and ordered take out, nothing too fancy." he explained through a mouthful of his sandwich.

"Sounds nice," Snow commented patting her lips with a napkin.

"So, you planning to tell everyone about... You know what soon?" he asked.

"Bufkin's isn't here, you don't have to worry."

You know what was clearly referring to her wife's pregnancy. It was nearing the last of her first trimester, and March was coming up in a short while.

"And we're planning on telling people around March. " she added. "Maybe have a few friends over for dinner, haven't done that in awhile. Plus me and Mary been wanting to have a few guest over for dinner sometime before the baby's born."

"Bring me whatever's left over in a doggie bag." Bigby joked polishing off the rest of his lunch. "Well Bluebeard got me hassling Fables about glamours, so see you later Snow." he got up and left.

Now it was just her alone in the office. A sigh came from her as she wrapped up the remains of her lunch in plastic wrap. Her appetite was lost with the sudden thought of Auntie Greenleaf, her mother in law.

This whole situation was pretty bad. She and Mary been trying to start a family for ages, but thinking of family was pretty depressing right about now. Snow haven't heard from her sister since god knows when, and Bloody Mary's mother loathed her with a deep passion of hate. It sadden her to think that their child wouldn't know anyone other family outside of its mothers. And to make matters worst depending on who's egg it was one of the wouldn't actually be related to him or her.

Regardless they would both love the child dearly, she knew that. But it filled her with dread that the child would never have a grandmother or aunt... Unless.

She glanced at the phone, surprised it haven't rung yet, normally it never stopped ringing. With a sad sigh she reached into a drawer if her desk and retrieved a phonebook.

Bloody Mary folded around box of blouses, thank god all the store's valentines day stuff sold. Looking at nothing but pink and hearts were getting rather annoying and becoming a great deal of an eyesore.

She supposed her shopping trip was fairly successful, even knowing that two pairs of jeans wouldn't be enough to survive the rest of her pregnancy. But it was something at least, maybe next time Snow could come and help her out a little.

Beauty came and placed another large box on the table.

"God forbid another one?" Bloody Mary huffed.

"At least it's not our valentines day line." Beauty sigh looking at the various boxing of clothes. "Never thought I'd see the day I would hate hearts so much..."

"That's makes both of us." Mary added.

Her hazel eyes took a moment to glance down at her stomach. Still surprise Beauty haven't noticed yet, it was a good thing it was still cold to hide in a blazer or any other type of oversized clothing.

"Well at least with March coming up it will get warmer, it's something to look forward too." Beauty stated.

It was the mentioned of March that got Bloody Mary thinking. She would three months along, and she and Snow were planning on inviting a couple Fables to dinner, figuring they could reveal the news like that.

Out of all the Fables Beauty has been the most nosey about the whole process, it was sort of cute really. She always been the most encouraging and excited for them, it would make sense to tell her first seeing that she and Snow that basically no family to reveal too.

"So, you and Beast got any plans for march?" she asked.

"Not really, out calendar's looking pretty blank for March ." Beauty replied.

"Perfect, you two free for dinner then?"

"Yes, of course!" she clapped her hands together in excitement, like that way Natalie did. "Beast has been craving your homemade dinner rolls since he had them at that potluck held at the cut above for the holidays."

A pleased smile spread across Mary's face. Perfect, they were free.

"I'll be sure to make them, any other requests?"

"Oh no, anything you cook is great." she reassured.

"Oh come on, give me some ideas. I still have no idea what me and Snow are cooking." Bloody Mary encouraged.

"That pea soup you made was great, oh and then the tiramisu you made was also great.

Tiramisu was clearly off the menu for her, brandy and coffee soaked cake was a big no. Pea soup though gave her a few ideas on the other hand.

"I'll keep that in mind."

"Awesome, call me when you two got a set date."

And here is chapter ten, hope you're enjoying this tale. XD Then again what's not to love about Snow White X Bloody Mary. Gotta love these two. Next chapter a little hell will be raised, hopefully these two can manage that.
