A week past Regina's due date and still no baby. Regina was over due and miserable. She was driving everyone crazy with her mood swings. Regina was desperate she was looking for natural ways to help start labor. Her and Cora were out on a walk. They went on quite a few walks during the day to see if they can jump start labor. They were already on walk number 3 today.
" Are you getting tired do you need to stop? " Cora asks
" Lets go a little more." Regina says
They walk until they get to the park. Cora helps Regina sit and hands her a water bottle
" Thank you" Regina says as she takes a sip
" Something on your mind? " Cora asks sitting next to her
" Hmmm what could be on my mind could it be the fact that Granny's stopped serving lasagna. Maybe the fact I cant drive anymore. O I know maybe it's because this baby hasn't come yet" Regina shouts.
" I know the waiting can seem like forever"
" She was supposed to be born a week ago mother. " Regina says trying to sit comfortably . Her sore back and bulging belly make the task impossible.
" It will be over soon. It will be worth it once you hold your daughter." Cora says preparing for another mood swing.
" Was it this hard with us? " Regina asks.
" We'll with Zelena I didn't get attached I knew I wasn't keeping her. The labor was rather quick . Even though it was quick it was the scariest." Cora says.
" Because you almost had her alone?"
Cora nods " With you the labor was longer but being married to a prince I had the luxury of having the best physicians and midwifes. " Cora tells her.
" Were we this late?
" Zelena was right on time. You i think you were a week early. Your child will come soon Regina" Cora says looking at Regina putting her hand on her shoulder.
" I think I'm ready to walk back home" Regina says. Regina get up with the help of Cora. They then walk back to the mansion hoping the walking will help induce labor.
At the mansion Zelena is in the kitchen with Robyn. Robyn sits in her highchair watching Zelena cook.
" Mine!" Robyn says
" No green bean this is for your auntie . Hopefully this will make your baby sister some" Zelena says cooking spicy Mexican food hoping this would jump start Regina's labor.
Regina and Cora walk in to the kitchen to where Zelena is.
" Here ya go sis eat up" Zelena says looking at Regina handing her the plate.
" Zelena what the hell is this?"
" This is all the spicy food i could muster up. If the walking didn't help this sure will" Zelena says
It sure didn't help . That night Regina got sick from eating all that spicy food.
" Sorry sis" Zelena says trying to make Regina feel better.
" Go to hell Zelena!"
Zelena walks downstairs to the dining room with Cora.
" Is she still sick? " Cora asks
" That baby is stubborn. Its going to come out when it's good and ready." Zelena says sitting down.
" Regina's birthday is next week. Do you think the baby will come before than? " Cora asks
" Hopefully it comes before than." Zelena says.
6 days later still no baby. Cora is in the kitchen putting a few ingredients together mixing them
" Mum what are you doing ?" Zelena asks
" I'm making this remedy to help induce Regina's labor" Cora says mixing.
" Mum the baby cant be exposed to magic." Zelena reminds her
" I'm aware of that and this is not magic. This is an old herbal remedy that was the best way to induce labor in the Enchanted Forest.
Regina walks down stairs and waddles into the kitchen.
" Here drink this " Cora says handing her the drink. The baby uses magic to make the drink disappear.
" Sis we need to talk your 2 weeks overdue"
" Yes I'm quite aware of that Zelena" Regina spats
" What I mean is I'm worried the baby may not be able to come on her own. If you don't go into labor in 3 days i want to induce you myself. " Zelena says
" At this point I'm ready to get this baby out of me" Regina says messaging her bump.
" It should be anytime now . Last i checked you were dilated 2cm" Zelena says.
Regina then gets hit with a wave of pain .
" Regina are you alright?" Cora asks
" I'm fine yes " Regina says thinking its just the baby kicking and being active.
Zelena looks at Regina unsure .
" I'm going to go sit in the living room" Regina says waddling into the living room.
Roland runs in the living room sitting next to Regina .
" Hi mommy can we watch a movie please" Roland asks
" Sure sweetie get Aunt Zelena to put the movie in."
Zelena puts the movie in " The Secret Life of Pets". She walks in the living room with a bowl of popcorn.
" Thank you Aunt Zelena " Roland says taking a handful of popcorn.
Zelena then rests the bowl on Regina's bump
" Really? " Regina says glaring at Zelena. Regina gets hit with another wave of pain. " Zelena can you help me up " Regina says. Zelena then helps her up. Regina walks into the kitchen. She goes to get some water, but she stops when she feels water dripped between her legs. She pauses not sure what to do. She looks at Cora .
" Mother can you call Snow for me " Regina asks
" Why?"
" I think my water just broke" Regina says to Cora.
