So here it is, chapter ten. Hope you enjoy.


Emma woke up not long after falling asleep, it seemed like their daughter had other plans than to let her sleep. Right now, their baby, was decided to have its own personal dance party on her bladder.

"Okay, okay kidlet I'm going potty, just give me a second," Emma whispered down to her unborn baby as she struggled to get up, "uhm… let me wake up mommy to help me up," rolling over Emma nudged Regina awake, "Regina, wake up, I need your help to get up. I have to pee."

As Regina slowly realized she was being nudged awake in reality, not just in a dream, she also realized it was Emma waking her up, "Emma? What's wrong?"

"I really need to pee, but I need your help getting up."

"Okay I got you." Regina said as she helped push the blonde woman up to a sitting position and then got up herself and went around to the other side of their bed to help her get to the bathroom.

As the blonde sat down on the toilet still partially asleep she looked up and the messy haired brunette and whispered with a smile, "Thanks."

The next morning, after several more bathroom trips throughout the night, Emma and Regina lay in bed cuddling with each other as they watched a few episodes of Friends on Netflix, "this is nice. We won't get to do this too much for a few months soon enough. The baby will be here soon."

Regina smiled at the mention of their baby being with them soon, "Yes, our baby will be here soon. Speaking of me and Henry have a little surprise for you. When he's awake we'll show you okay?"

Emma beamed at the thought of a surprise, not just because it was for her but because it was from her wife and son, "A surprise? I can't wait to see it."

"I think you're really going to love it. We worked so hard on it for you."

"I bet you guys did but I also meant what I said, I can't wait to see it. Can we wake Henry up?"

"No silly, we aren't the only ones that are going to lose sleep because of our baby, Henry will too."

Emma smiled at Regina, "I guess you're right. So, two more episodes of Friends and then we'll wake him up?"

"Yes, that sounds reasonable. I have to admit I'm excited to show it to you," Regina smiled at Emma before kissing her on her forehead, "now turn Friends back on."

Flashback

"Are you sure she won't wake up?" Henry whispered as him and his mother snuck past the master bedroom.

"Oh, I'm sure she won't wake up. She had a very large breakfast and a very good bath to help her fall asleep and stay asleep." Regina chuckled, "And I told her I was in meetings all day, so she won't call me, so my phone won't ring."

Henry laughed quietly as they started to paint the room a light shade of yellow, "Good thinking mom."

A few hours later and the room was drying with a second coat of paint as both brunettes sat almost head to head reading directions on how to assemble a crib with a changing station attached to it, "Why does this have to be so difficult? I'm going to pull my hair out and I regret promising not to use magic with or around the baby or anything to do with the baby until she is born."

"You know she wouldn't know if you used a little bit of magic, these directions are so confusing," the younger brunette said as he scratched his head.

Regina laughed at her teenage son, "you do remember that your mother can tell when we're lying right? And, a promise is a promise, right?"

"Yeah I guess."

After hours of slowly putting together a very confusing crib/changing station and then finishing setting up the room Henry and Regina hung the final thing on the wall above the crib, the ultrasound picture that showed their little girl. This is how they were surprising Emma about the baby's gender. They couldn't hold it in any longer and had to surprise the blonde later that week and this is how they were doing it. They had set up the baby's room, keeping it gender neutral because they knew that's how Emma would want it. The crib was against the wall closest to their room and away from the window on the other side but in the corner next to the window. And on the wall that was next to hallway was a bookcase already filled with books to be read at any age and next to that was a toy chest filled to the brim with toys old and new ready to be played with.

Henry and Regina smiled at the room as they stood in the middle appraising all their hard work. Before looking at each other both grinning from ear to ear, "I think we did an amazing job and I definitely need to surprise your mother with this soon."

Henry somehow smiled even bigger and pumped his fist in the air as he excitedly but quietly said, "Yeah I can't wait."

Both brunettes smiled as they appraised the room last time before the looked at each other again before giving each other a high five. That's when they heard Emma calling for Regina, "It must be after four o'clock. I told my assistant that if Emma were to call that I was in meetings all day unless it was after four then he was to tell her that I had already left for the day. Let's go see how she's doing, shall we?"

"Yeah, let's go."

End flashback

"Ready to go wake Henry up?" Regina asked the blonde after they had watched not two but four more episodes of Friends.

Emma smiled up at her beautiful wife, "Hell yes! I want my surprise!"

"Well come on then," Regina chuckled as she helped her glowing pregnant wife out of bed and to the bathroom for a quick bathroom break along the way to their son's room down the hall. The brunette couldn't suppress the grin on her face as they walked past what used to be the spare bedroom, but Emma didn't know that, yet.

"Henry, Henry, it's time to get up. It's time to show Emma our surprise." That last sentence got him up quickly. Before either of them could register he was walking down the hall.

Before he could open the door Regina stopped and stepped in between her son and the door looking at her blonde haired wife, "Emma, I know you wanted to help decorate and set up the baby's room but since you were put on bed rest that couldn't really happen so Henry and I took it upon ourselves to put it together for you. So, cover your eyes," Regina waited for Emma to cover her eyes before she opened the door as Henry and herself led the blonde into the middle of the room, "okay you can look."

Tears sprang into Emma's eyes as she looked around the lightly colored yellow room, taking everything in and when she moved closer to the crib to look at the ultrasound hanging above it, the blonde could no longer hold back the tears or control the gasp as she saw what it said on the frame, "we're having a girl? We're having a girl! Oh my God, Regina, we're having a girl! I love you so much. I love you both so much, I love this little girl growing inside me, and I love this room. I love everything. Please, give me a hug right now."

The three of them hugged for a while before Regina decided that Emma needed to go back to bed much to the blonde's chagrin, "Just think Emma it's almost over. We'll get to meet our little girl very soon and then you can spend as much time in the nursery or in here or where ever you would like for as long as you would like."

"I can't wait to meet her and Regina, I think I have a name for her, but I want to make sure you're okay with it first."

"I'm sure I will love whatever you have picked out as long as it is not Snow White." Regina said making them both chuckle.

"It's not, I promise," Emma said as she bit her lip and looked at Regina, "I like the name Haven. What do you think?"


Like I said at the beginning of chapter nine I'm so sorry this took me so long. A lot of things have happened to prevent me from writing but I'm hoping I'm back in it now. I'm already working on chapter eleven, so you won't have to wait too long before you know Regina's reaction to the name. Please let me know if there's anything you would like to see before I start to wrap up this story. Thank you so much to anyone who has waited for an update to this story. I'm still here and I'm still a fan of SwanQueen.
