2 months later...
"Today is your big game!" Regina said happily when she opened the front door where Emmet was leaning against the frame. He grinned. "Yes." He answered and she stepped in his arms and kissed him softly. He smiled amused and wrapped his arms tightly around her. He felt a soft kick against his stomach and looked down. They smiled. He kneeled down and lifted her shirt up and kissed her stomach softly. "Hey, baby girl. I'm so excited to meet you finally." Emmet whispered and stroked over Regina's stomach. He looked up and smiled softly at Regina.
Cora and Henry stood in the door frame of the kitchen and watched them. They smiled softly. "I thought that he would go after a month or two but he stayed until now and still is in love with her like it's their first day..." Cora mumbled and Henry smiled. "He would never leave someone during a pregnancy... we just have to think about how they both can spend equal time with their baby..." Henry answered. "We have two more months... How about we make a guesthouse next to this house..." Cora suggested and Henry thought about it. "You think that they will be fast enough to build a whole house?" Henry asked and Cora nodded. "With enough money... sure." Cora answered and saw that Emmet grabbed Regina's bag.
Emmet wrapped his arm around Regina and softly led her to his car. They laughed about something and he opened the passenger door for her which he also closed after she got in. He looked up and saw Cora and Henry and waved slightly before he got in too and drove off. "He has an important football game today. He could finally attend and is using this directly." Henry told Cora who smiled. "He loves football, doesn't he?" Cora asked. "He loves Regina more and if you would tell him that he has to stop for Regina's sake he would do that without complain." Henry told her.
Emmet parked the car in the parking lot of the school. They got out and suddenly a cold blow rushed over the school ground. Regina shivered and Emmet took off his football jacket and held it out for her. She slipped into it and leaned against him lovingly. "This fits almost like a second skin." She mumbled and he chuckled. "You definitely look sexy in it." Emmet answered and softly stroked her stomach again. Regina smiled and took his hand. He led her to her locker and they stuffed a missing book in her bag and then walked to their first lesson. "Are you nervous?" She asked and he nodded slightly. "My first game since my arm break... Sebastian plays too and I'm a bit concerned... what if the coach thinks he is better than me and then makes me just to a standby?" Emmet asked and sighed.
Regina stopped him and cupped his cheeks. He sighed. "You will be better than him. You are not the captain of the football team because of your good looks. Although they could be quite helping..." She told him and he smiled softly. "Believe in yourself." He kissed her softly. "I love you." He said and she smiled lovingly. "I love you too." She answered and he grabbed her ass. She moaned into their kiss and he smiled. "Tonight I'm gonna give you a massage, ok?" He asked when he felt her tense muscles of her lower back. She nodded and sighed contently until she felt a painful tug in her abdomen. She didn't really thought about it but this tug would change their lives permanently.
The school bell rang and Emmet quickly ushered Regina in her classroom before he kissed her and hurried to his own classroom. She smiled and sat down. She rubbed her bump slightly until Kathryn took her hand and squeezed it softly. "What's going on?" She whispered. "What should be going on?" Regina asked back. "I don't know. You always rub your belly when you are in thoughts or nervous." Kathryn answered and Regina sighed. "Emmet is concerned that Sebastian is taking his place in the football team." Regina told her and Kathryn sighed. "He won't. He doesn't have the head for it. At the moment he tries to win Melanie's heart." Kathryn answered and Regina smiled amused.
After two lessons the game was starting and Regina quickly visited Emmet in the changing rooms. She shocked the other boys a bit with her sudden appearance and they stared at her. "That's the boy changing room." Sebastian commented and Regina studied him. "I'm going to wish my boyfriend luck. The others don't really interest me." She answered and walked over to Emmet who smiled amused and kissed her lovingly. "You're wishing me luck?" He asked her and she nodded. They kissed again and she chuckled. "You're going to win this game. For us." She whispered and he nodded. "I know." He answered cheekily and she smiled lovingly.
He kissed her stomach softly and then her lips again. "With so much luck we will surely win." He told her and she nodded. "I should go. The others seem a bit uncomfortable." She answered quietly and Emmet chuckled. "See you later, love." He whispered and kissed her again before she reluctantly left. She left again and sat down next to Kathryn. "Where were you?" Kathryn asked and Regina nodded to the changing rooms. "Oh... some hotties in there?" Kathryn asked amused and Regina snorted. "Just one and he is taken. By me." Regina answered with a grin and Kathryn laughed. Belle and Ruby came over and sat down next to them. "Hey, you two." They said. Ruby plopped down on Regina's free side and nudged her with a grin. "How is the little bean?" She asked and Regina placed a hand on her stomach.
"She is doing great actually." Regina answered and felt her baby kicking. She took Ruby's hand and placed it on top of it and heard her gasp. "Aaww... that is feeling really cool." Ruby said and Kathryn and Belle looked at them. They quickly placed their hands on it too and all cooed over it. "How does that feel?" Ruby asked and Regina smiled lovingly. "Weird but on the other hand really wonderful. She moves... that means she is alright... That's all I want." Regina answered and they smiled softly. "Soooo cute." They said and then music started. They looked up and saw how Emmet and the football team was running on the field.
They cheered happily and Emmet's eyes found Regina's. She blew him a kiss and he 'caught' it and patted his chest with the hand directly over his heart. He winked at her and she shook her head with a big smile. He focused on his team mates again and then got into formation. Regina started to feel unwell. She placed a hand on her lower back and hissed slightly. Ruby looked at her surprised and placed a hand on Regina's shoulder. "Are you alright?" She asked and Regina shook her head. "My stomach hurts..." She answered and Ruby's eyes widened. "Kathy... Something is wrong with Regina." Ruby said to Kathryn who directly looked at them concerned.
Regina's breath was too fast and Kathryn directly felt for fever or anything else that could indicate an illness. "I think...my water broke..." Regina panted and stared at them shocked. "Oh fuck... Someone needs to call the ambulance!" Kathryn shouted and they saw how Regina toppled over slightly. She winced and Kathryn quickly steadied her. Ruby got up and hurried to the field. The game got paused when Ruby ran on the field. The coach tried to pull Ruby from the field but she shrugged him off and ran over to Emmet. "Regina's water broke maybe." Ruby said and Emmet gasped. He pulled his helmet off and ran off the field. "Where are you going? You can't go now! There are a few people who wants to see you!" The coach said.
"I'm going to be at my child's birth!" Emmet just answered and quickly joined Kathryn in her quest of bringing Regina to the soon arriving ambulance car. He was quickly by her side and wrapped an arm around her. "She is too early, Emmet..." Regina breathed out and looked at him shocked. He nodded and quickly picked her up. She gasped shocked and he carried her down the stairs and then towards the parking lot. The ambulance car arrived and Emmet smiled relieved. "What's wrong?" Emmet got asked from the paramedic. "She obviously got in labor..." Emmet snapped slightly annoyed and Regina squeezed his hand assuringly. "How far along are you?" The paramedic asked. "30th week." She answered and they nodded slowly.
The couple got into the car and drove over to the hospital where Dr. Wilde greeted them. "How long are the contractions already?" Dr. Wilde asked and she shook her head. "I didn't really count..." Regina answered and Emmet held her hand softly. Dr. Wilde studied him and smiled. "I felt a tug this morning..." Regina answered and Dr. Wilde looked at her surprised. "And you didn't fell bad at all?" He asked and she shook her head. Dr. Wilde nodded slowly. She got brought into a room while he talked with his staff what they would do. Normal birth or a c-section.
"She has not really the best hips for giving birth to a child..." A nurse said and Dr. Wilde nodded. They walked into the hospital room where Regina was laying slightly with Emmet sitting by her side holding one hand while his other stroked over her hair. He smiled lovingly at her. "Everything will be fine." He whispered softly. "She is strong. Just like you." "And we are going to bring her now." Dr. Wilde said and Regina looked at him surprised. "We are going to make a c-section if the baby isn't already too far along... when was the tug?" Dr. Wilde asked and Regina closed her eyes shortly. "7.50 am?" She answered. "Well... in 5 hours... she should be pretty far along already... let's have a look I guess..." Dr. Wilde said.
"Could they..." Regina started to blush and Dr. Wilde looked at the nurses. "I'll call as soon as I need you." He told them and they nodded. They quickly left the room and Dr. Wilde sat down in front of her. She was a bit embarrassed when he checked how far along she was and Emmet kissed her softly. Dr. Wilde looked at her concerned. "You up for it?" He asked. "There is a choice?" Regina asked and moaned in pain. Dr. Wilde smiled softly. "Not really... She is not that far along anymore... An hour at most." Dr. Wilde said and Regina slumped against the bed. She looked at Emmet who smiled lovingly at her. "Don't worry... I will be here the whole time." He promised her and Dr. Wilde smiled. "An hour and she is there or until I have to push?" Regina asked weakly.
"The latter..." Dr. Wilde said and Regina groaned. Both men chuckled amused. The door opened and Cora and Henry got in. Dr. Wilde got up and explained everything to them. They nodded and Cora sat down on her other side. "Mom..." Regina said weakly and Cora kissed her forehead. "You will feel better soon... the pain will be forgotten as soon as she is here." Cora told her lovingly. "How do you know?" Regina asked and looked in her eyes. "I had a... a stillbirth..." Cora answered saddened. Regina sighed. "I'm sorry, Mom..." She answered and Cora shook her head. "It's alright." She answered. "Just let welcome your daughter... my granddaughter to this world." Cora told her and Regina nodded. Emmet smiled softly.
A few hours and endless pain on Regina's and Emmet's side later they welcomed their little daughter to the world. Regina slumped back against the bed and looked at the little pink bundle in Dr. Wilde's arms. He walked over to Regina and placed the little girl in her arms. "We don't have long. We need to check on her but I thought you want to hold her first." Dr. Wilde said and Regina nodded. Cora had been right. All the pain was forgotten as soon as she held her little baby in her arm. Emmet looked at them lovingly. They both directly fell in love with the bright green eyes which looked at them with curiosity. They chuckled and Emmet placed a kiss on the still wet head.
"Hello, Lana... We are so happy to see you." Emmet said and Regina smiled. Cora gave Henry a camera and he made a few pictures of the two of them cuddling Lana. Dr. Wilde had to take her away though and Regina got cleaned up and stitched up again before she was brought back in her room. Kathryn and the group visited a few hours later. They brought them burgers and fries which got directly devoured by Regina and Emmet. "How was it?" Kathryn asked and sat down at the end of Regina's bed. "Painful and exhausting... but it's all worth. She looks perfect." Regina answered and Emmet smiled. "And when can you take her home?" Ruby asked.
"In two weeks. Earlier is a bit risky because she needs to grow a bit more. She is a bit too small and they rather want to keep an eye on her." Emmet explained and the group nodded slowly. Graham and Robin revealed a small package and held it to Regina who took it with a soft smile. "You didn't have to." She said and they shrugged. "We saw it and thought that it will be looking perfect on her." Robin said and Graham nodded. He wrapped his arms around Robin's waist from behind and they watched how Regina unwrapped the package. She gasped and lifted a small baby onesie out of the package. Emmet looked at his best friend gratefully. "Princess Lana." Regina read out aloud and looked at them happily. "Thank you, guys." The onesie was in a royal red. Cora and Henry entered the room and saw the many people.
"What are you doing here?" Cora asked confused. "Gratulating us." Regina answered and lifted the onesie up. "Look what Graham and Robin bought for Lana." Cora smiled at her enthusiasm while Henry nodded approvingly at Graham and Robin. "We were with Lana." Henry said and Regina smiled. "Is she alright? I would love to see her..." Regina said and yawned. "You, my dear, are going to sleep. You can see her tomorrow. We will watch over her." Cora ordered and Regina huffed. "You will need the strength." Emmet smiled and Regina scooted a bit over so that he could lay down next to her. The group said goodbye to them and left with soft smiles.
Henry kissed Regina's forehead and squeezed Emmet's shoulder softly before he left too. "We are building a guesthouse for you two, so you can raise Lana together without missing out. We talked already with Martin and Ruth and they agree with us." Cora told them and they nodded gratefully. "Thanks, Mom..." Regina said and hid her yawn behind her hand. "Sleep. You are going to need every minute of sleep until you are through the infant phase." Cora said amused and Regina chuckled. "Sure, Mom..." She answered and leaned against Emmet and was fast asleep. He held her and kissed her head.
"Lana is doing fine?" He asked Cora who nodded. "She is a strong little girl. And really beautiful... You didn't screw it up." She said with a cocky smile and Emmet chuckled. "I'm a blonde. We always have hot daughters." He answered and Cora snorted amused. "Sure..." She said. "Don't fuck that up, Emmet. Regina loves you dearly and your child needs you. Both need you." "I love Regina too. Don't worry. You got me for at least 18 years... probably until you are dead. I won't leave Regina. Never..." Emmet answered and they locked eyes. Cora saw the truth and promise in them. She nodded softly. "Tell her that I love her, when she wakes up." Cora said and Emmet nodded.
TBC...?
