Chapter 38: Two minutes

Two minutes.

Regina tapped her hands against the bathroom sink as she waited for the result of her pregnancy test. She had woken in a panic when she realised she was at least a week late for her period. Her anxiety spiked when she rummaged through her bathroom cupboard and realised she hadn't taken her pill in three weeks. With everything that had happened, it was something she had plain forgotten.

She let out a little gasp when she saw two pink lines on both tests, and suddenly she couldn't breathe. She wasn't ready for this. She wasn't sure she would ever be ready. God, what was she going to do? She and Graham had barely started to be with each other, and now she had gone and ruined everything. She wiped back the hot, angry tears from her face and made her way back to her bed, hoping to crawl under the covers until she had to deal with the world again.

Graham stirred awake, and immediately looked concerned when he saw Regina's fragile state. "Regina, what's wrong?" He asked, propping himself up in bed.

"Graham, I'm…." She could barely choke out the words. "I'm pregnant"

Graham blinked his eyes for a few moments, letting it all sink in. "Regina, that's wonderful." He said when he was able to speak.

"Really?" Said Regina. "It's just so soon, I mean, with everything that's happened. I can't believe I was so irresponsible, I forgot to take my pill."

Graham kissed her forehead. "Oh, Gina, with the couple of weeks we've had it's understandable."

"You're not mad?" Regina's voice quivered.

"No Gina, not at all. I'm beyond happy. I've waited my entire life for a family, and that's what you've given me. You're incredible."

Regina let out a little cry as he held her. He was truly the man who loved her no matter what. This was never going to be a repeat of Daniel.

"I know it feels a little soon, but in reality, we've been waiting for this for a long time." He pulled Regina back onto the bed. "You know I love you more than anything, right?"

Regina responded by wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply. Graham instantly pulled flush against her, never wanting to let her go. She gasped as he ran his hands over her stomach, and she turned so he was pulled on top of her.

"Regina, are you sure?" Graham whispered, realising he had never been on top of her before.

Regina nodded. "Please Graham, I want you. I trust you."

Graham needed no further encouragement. He cradled her in his arms and peppered her face and neck in little kisses. "You brilliant, wonderful woman." He breathed, tracing his hands over her body as if he was trying to commit every detail to memory. She arched into him, pulling him close, loving the feeling of being pressed against him. She let out another moan when Graham began to kiss the base of her earlobe. Graham had lifted himself up long enough to rid himself of his shirt, diving back down the lathe his wife with kisses.

Grahams' phone started to go off, the noise startling them both. "Don't answer it." Regina groaned, trying to pull Graham closer.

"It might be important." Graham said, pulling himself up, then raised his eyebrows when he saw the caller ID "Its Killian. He wouldn't call if it wasn't important."

"Yes?" He breathed, realising his voice probably sounded ragged.

"Sorry, did I call at a bad time?" Killian asked tentatively.

Yes. He thought, looking down at his almost naked wife. "No, It's ok. What's up?"

"I just-I just wanted to check if that deputy position in Storybrooke is still available."

Graham sat bolt upright. "Yea, it is. Hang on, Regina's here as well, I'll put you on loudspeaker."

"Yea sure, give me two seconds and I'll step outside. I don't want to wake Belle up."

"Wait, she's there with you?" Regina almost squealed. Graham squeezed her hand.

Killian swallowed. "Yea…sorry for the overshare. My mother found her after the speech she gave at the university and invited her to dinner. One thing just…led to another." He said sheepishly.

"I'm beginning to love your mother." Joked Regina, and Killian groaned.

"Wait, so does this mean you're moving here to be with her?" Graham asked.

"Well, yea. New York isn't right for me anymore, not after everything. Besides, my home is wherever Belle is, if she'll have me. I just wanted to check I actually have a job to go to."

"You know, no-one ever applied for the position, and I'd say everyone would be pretty thrilled to have you back." Said Regina.

Graham had to laugh. "You know this would mean I'm your boss, right?"

Killian rolled his eyes. "I'm willing to live with that."

"You're really serious, aren't you?" Said Graham "You won't miss being a detective in New York?"

Killian side. "I think a part of me will miss it, but I'm not that person anymore. Walking away from Belle seems so much worse."

"I…can't even tell you how happy I am right now." Stammered Graham.

"Me too." Said Regina.

"Alright, mate, I better go…I have a lot to do this morning." Said Killian.

"Me too." Graham smiled as he looked at Regina. "Talk soon?"

"You bet." Killian said, hanging up the phone.

Regina sighed as Graham turned off his phone "So…what now? Should we get ready to pick up Belle from the Airport?"

"Nah." Graham smiled "it's a couple of hours yet before we have to leave, and I want spend that entire time making love to you." He curled forward and began to kiss his wife deeply.

"I love you so much." Whispered Regina.

"I love you too, my beautiful, beautiful wife." He began to trace her arms and shoulders as she relaxed against his hands. Just being able to touch her without being recoiled away from, without fear.

It was perfect.

She was perfect.

And now they were about to become a family.

Regina arched up into him as he kissed her deeply, and he wanted to savour every moment of it. "Regina, are you sure?" He asked breathily.

"Yes, I'm sure." She said, sliding her hands down his stomach. "I want you so much."

"Jesus." Graham moaned as she gently stroked him, and he bent down to lathe his tongue over her taught, sensitive nipples.

"Please don't stop." She whispered.

He grinned and continued to kiss down her body until he reached her wet centre. He looked up at her, as if seeking permission.

"Yes. Please!" She practically squeaked.

Graham tried to maintain his focus as his tongue was working itself over her swollen clit, but Regina was becoming distracting. Watching her moan and writhe underneath him as she neared her orgasm was perhaps the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He gently slipped two fingers inside her, pumping slowly until he heard her squeal and her entire body shake.

"God, Regina, you are so beautiful." He breathed as he gently released his fingers. He was so hard he could barely stand it.

"Please, Graham. I want you." Regina said, her body covered in a thin sheen of sweat. She had never smelled sweeter to him.

Graham wasted no time, and leaning forward he cradled her in his arms and gently guided himself inside her. They both let out a loud moan as he entered her fully.

"Are you ok?" He whispered.

"Never better." Regina smiled as she wrapped her legs around him, keeping him close.

Graham continued to rock against her, keeping himself as close to her as possible. He gently slid one hand above the point where they were joined and began stroking in firm, deliberate circles. "Please Regina, I need to feel you come again." He moaned.

Regina gasped and continued to buck her hips against him. He could feel she was getting closer, already feeling little spasms as her body worked towards an orgasm. She had stopped speaking, her breathing coming out as heavy pants as her fingers gripped his arms tightly.

"Just like that, Regina, God you feel so good." Graham purred, hoping he would last long enough.

"Graham, I'm…" Regina never had time to finish that thought. Within that moment, her orgasm crashed around her and Graham could feel the powerful contractions around his cock, and it was too much for him. He gave three final, powerful thrusts and he was lost as well, feeling completely physically and emotionally spent.

"I love you so much, Gina." He said as he kissed her.

"I love you too." Regina whispered as her eyes fluttered closed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Killian snuck back into bed after hanging up the phone, hoping he hadn't woken Belle. She looked so peaceful with a sheet draped over her naked body. She instantly rolled over as the mattress dipped.

"What time is it?" She asked groggily.

"A little after eight." Replied Killian. "Sorry for waking you."

"No, don't be. I need to be at the airport in about two hours anyway." Belle leaned over and kissed him. He helped her up and they snuck into the shower together, both needing the hot water to wake themselves up properly.

"I feel like I'm always saying goodbye to you." Said Killian as he stroked her back.

Belle smiled and curled into his arms. "I could learn to love New York again. Maybe I could come visit more?"

"I had another plan in mind. What if I joined you in Storybrooke?"

"What?" Belle exclaimed as she almost dropped the shampoo bottle.

"I'm serious. The deputy position in Storybrooke is still open." Said Killian.

"You would do that for me?" She asked, tears welling in her eyes.

"I would do anything for you." Killian replied earnestly, kissing her on the shoulder.

"But…what about your family?"

"They'll understand. Besides, Eventually Liam and Elsa will need to move somewhere like Storybrooke if they're ever going to afford a house big enough for six people, and you know wherever they go Mum will follow. You'll never get rid of us." He smiled.

"I'd like that. More than anything." Belle smiled as Killian pressed her into the wall of the shower, getting a little lost in so many tender kisses.

"I'm starving." Said Killian as he broke the kiss and turned off the water. "It's too bad I never have any food in the place. Maybe I have some juice or something."

They dressed and padded into the kitchen, Belle sat up at the counter while she tied up her hair. She startled when Killian exclaimed "Elsa!" as he slammed the fridge door shut.

"What?" Belle asked.

"My dear sister-in-law decided to restock the fridge." Killian grinned.

Belle got up and went to the fridge. Killian was right. There was fresh juice, eggs, bacon, fruit in the fridge, and a loaf of sourdough bread on the counter.

"She must have done this yesterday when your mum organised dinner." She observed.

"God, am I really so predictable? It's as if they knew we would….." Killian scoffed.

Belle pulled him into a hug. "I don't think so at all. I just think they want you to be happy."

Killian kissed her again. "I think I am happier now than I've been in a very long time."

"Alright, alright." Said Belle as she pulled away. "I had better get cooking or I'll never get away on time."

"You would cook for me?" Said Killian.

"Of course." She smiled.

Belle got to work in the kitchen, quickly putting together a bacon and eggs feast that was quite possibly the best Killian had ever tasted.

"That was amazing." He said.

"It was just bacon and eggs." Belle said simply.

"I know, but the fact you cooked it for me made it special." He kissed the back of her neck. "Are you sure you want to sign up for…all this? You know I'm a bit useless at housework with one hand."

Belle turned around. "I said it last night. There's nothing I know about you that could turn me away. I'm all in, Killian. For better or worse. For everything."

Killian immediately pressed her into the kitchen bench. "God, I want you again." He said, kissing her furiously.

"We'll have to hurry if I'm going to make my flight." Belle giggled.

"Not a problem." Killian grinned.
