Day 6 for #OQPromptParty is Prompt #197 'Midnight Snack', I struggled with this one initially but I'm really happy with how it's turned out. Shout out to my bestie Abbie for helping me bring this idea to life, this one's for you!

It was the tenth night running that he'd woken up at midnight to the smell of apple and cinnamon drifting up the stairs. The tenth night he'd padded into the kitchen to see his wife, dressed in nothing but her favourite tshirt of his and some fluffy slippers, slotting a bath of freshly made apple turnovers into the oven.

"This appears to be becoming quite the habit, sweetheart." Robin chuckled lightly, his voice still slick with sleep – not that he'd been getting much of that over the past two weeks.

Regina blushed, "What can I say, I really like apple turnovers."

"I've just never seen you bake with such vigor before." He said, wrapping his arms gently around her waist, "I know they're your specialty and everything but isn't this a little bit of overkill?"

Regina shrugged, "I just really fancied one or two."

"At midnight?" Robin said.

"Apparently my baking skills are best at this ungodly hour."

Robin let go of her and headed over to the fridge, pulling out the milk carton and taking a swig, earning a raised eyebrow from Regina.

"Any chance you could be pregnant?" He said nonchalantly.

Regina snorted, "I beg your pardon?"

Robin shrugged, "What normal person bakes apple turnovers every night for 2 weeks, at midnight?" He said, "You're clearly craving apple turnovers, and it's normal to crave certain foods if you're pregnant."

"I suppose you have a point." Regina mused, "But I don't think so, I had my period this month."

They were silent for a moment whilst contemplating the possibility of adding another person to their family.

"On second thought…" Regina said quietly, "It was late."

Robin swallowed hard, "Regina?"

Regina hesitated for a moment, "Maybe… maybe I should take a test?"

Robin agreed, both of them suddenly forgetting about their midnight snack, "Why don't I go to the 24hr drug store and get you a test, babe? Just to be sure."

Regina nodded in agreement, pressing a kiss to Robin's temple as he headed out the door.

"How much longer?" Robin asked from the other side of the bathroom door.

"A couple of minutes." Regina said, absolutely terrified about what might appear on the stick she'd just so ungracefully peed on.

"Regina…" Robin said softly, pressing his head against the door, "Whatever happens, I love you."

Before Regina could answer, two lines appeared on the stick right before her very eyes. Opening the bathroom door she looked up at Robin, tears in her eyes.

"I guess we're having a baby!" Regina said, those same tears now running down her cheeks.

Robin couldn't help but cry himself, "Regina, we're going to be parents... Again!" He grinned.

Regina smiled and kissed him softly, her arms wrapped around him tightly as they processed what was to come.

After a few moments, Robin broke away and looked at Regina with a glint in his eye.

"Shall we have an apple turnover to celebrate?" He smiled.

Regina chuckled, "I was just about to say I think it's about time for that midnight snack."

"I love you so much Regina, always." Robin smiled, kissing her softly once more.

"I love you too Robin, always."
