I dont' even know what is this but I hope you like it anyway. Be prepared for many feels.
All mistakes are mine.
On with the show.
Emma is slowly trying to get up after something had woken her up. She rubes her eyes, trying to take away the fuzzy feeling in her eyes and turns her head to the clock on the bedside table and read 3:46 in the morning. She pads her hand towards the other side of the bed where Regina is supposedly to be on but finds it empty.
It is then that she realizes that most likely their three-months old baby girl had woken up for a feeding and Regina had gone to feed her. She doesn't know what woken her up but normally she wouldn't be awake at this hour, even if Regina had gone to feed their baby; there could be an apocalypse and most likely, Emma would probably don't even know.
She gets to a sitting position to wait for Regina and then, they can cuddle up for another couple of hours of sleep until their baby needs a diaper change of another feeding. She loves to be the big spoon but lately, Regina hasn't allowed to touch her stomach, or have sex for that matter, and Emma knows it is because Regina feels insecure with the weight she gained during her pregnancy.
The worst part of all, is that Emma hasn't found a perfect time to show Regina that she will always see the most beautiful woman in her, no matter if she hasn't been able to lose all the baby weight.
The door finally cracks open and Emma sees a sleepy Regina making her way towards the bed, her shirt is slightly ridden up and Emma can her stomach. It's that moment that Regina sees that Emma is awake and her eyes widen.
Normally, Emma is always asleep when she goes back to bed after the 3 am feeding and she is less careful on making sure her shirt covers all of her upper body. She looks down and sees her shirt ridden up and Emma surely had seen her stomach. She quickly covers it and turns her back towards Emma, because she can't bare to look at her wife and see the face of disgust that will surely be there. She covers her stomach with both of her hands because how is her wife going to find her attractive when she hasn't lost any of the pregnancy weight? She is so ashamed because now Emma will not touch her and there's a few things that can top the loving touch of her wife.
Tears are threatening to spill from her eyes. God, why hadn't she made sure that her shirt covered her?
"I'm sorry Emma. I'm really trying to lose the weight. I really am. I promise I will try to work out harder." Regina says between sobs. "I understand if you don't want to cuddle. Or touch me for that matter." Regina added with a sad sigh. She knew this would happen sooner or later, but it didn't make it hurt less knowing that your wife didn't see you as the attractive woman you once were.
Regina never regretted the fact that she had been the one that had gotten pregnant and certainly not their beautiful daughter. She knew Emma loved them both, but she was also self-conscious of how her body had changed during and after her pregnancy. She heard the sheets being thrown over the bed and the mattress cringing a bit and Regina knew that Emma had gotten up.
The next thing she knew was that there were a pair of strong arms encircling her from behind and covering her own arms. She felt Emma's head on top of her right shoulder.
"Let me show you something." Emma whispered and led Regina to their daughter's nursery. Regina furrowed her brows in confusion. Emma opened the door, and they both carefully stepped in. they didn't walk all the way to the crib, fearing that they would wake up their daughter.
Again, Emma hugged Regina from behind and this time her arms were touching Regina's stomach. Regina almost shrugged them off but Emma kept them there.
"You see that little beautiful baby girl? The one that has blonde hair but those hazel eyes I love so much? The one that we made because we have True Love? Thanks to the changes of your body, she was able to grow, to nurture herself for ninth months before she was ready to meet her mommies." Emma softly whispered.
Regina was openly crying, hearing the beautiful words Emma was saying. What did she do to have Emma by her side?
"Come." Emma whispered and Regina let her lead her wherever they were headed. When Regina saw the bathroom, she tensed up and Emma felt it. The blonde just wished that Regina wouldn't put all of her walls.
They stood silently in front of the mirror for a couple of minutes. Regina might have accepted that the changes were necessary but it didn't make her feel any less insecure about them. Reflected in the mirror, she saw how Emma began to roll up her shirt just below her breasts.
"Do you see these stretch marks? I don't feel ashamed about them, even if they remind of when I was in prison and had to give Henry up. Do you think they make me less attractive?" Emma softly asked.
"No, you're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Regina answered.
Emma walked behind Regina once more and started rolling her shirt up. Regina closed her eyes but let Emma uncover her stomach.
"Open your eyes Regina." Emma said and Regina opened them. "You are beautiful and you'll always will be to me. It's true that you haven't lost the baby weight but I don't care. Because even if you didn't lose any of it, you would still be as attractive and as beautiful to me as you always have been. But your body isn't the only thing that makes you beautiful; the spark in your eyes when you're looking at our daughter or at Henry, your intelligence, your sass, everything about you, inside and outside is beautiful."
Regina turned around to see directly into Emma's eyes. "Thank you." Regina whispered and hugged Emma with all her might.
"You're beautiful Regina, always remember that." Emma whispered, while drawing soothing circles on Regina's back.
They went back to bed, cuddled up and slept, both of them with a soft smile on their faces.
Thank you for reading and don't forget to review :) And to the last guest that left a prompt, I'm working on it, I promise I'll try to upload sometime this week.
