Regina and Emma had now been together for two months, despite her pregnancy hormones starting to kick in, their relationship had been going great. Henry was happier than ever with his moms being together. Snow and come over to have lunch with them often, and had come to fully support them. Even David, who had resisted it for so long, had found himself more and more willing to accept their relationship.
Emma had another ultrasound today, and she was going to be accompanied by Regina and her mother.
"Emma, we need to get ready," Regina said to her, softly stroking her cheek. Emma groaned in response. She most certainly was not ready to get up from bed. She was so happy and content laying in bed with her girlfriend, that getting up was the last thing she wanted to do.
"10 more minutes," she mumbled, rolling over.
"You've already had your extra 10 minutes," Regina replied, sitting up.
"It's not even 9:00 in the morning yet, why can't I just magic myself there?"
"Because your mother has demanded to accompany us and she wants to pick us up,"
"Well that's a waste of gas money,"
"I know, my love, but we have to go. She's going to be here in 15 minutes, and I'd rather not have her walk in with you still in your pajamas,"
Groaning once again, Emma finally found the strength to get up. She walked to her dresser and grabbed her clothes for the day. Since she was around 20 weeks along, she was definitely starting to show a lot more, so not many of her clothes fit anymore.
The two of them still respectively lived in their own homes, but they would usually spend the night at one another's house. If ever they needed to have a change of clothes, they used to just wear each other's. Unfortunately, now that Emma was showing, they didn't exactly fit into one another's clothes anymore. Thankfully, Regina had come prepared and brought over a change of clothes for herself this time.
"Why the fuck did we schedule an appointment this early?" Emma asked, yawning.
"Because Dr. Whale was the one who had scheduled the appointment with us, and we went with the first time he offered to get away from his pervy ass," Regina retorted. She exited to the bathroom to change into her own clothes.
"Ugh," she groaned again.
Exiting out of the bathroom, Regina smiled at her girlfriend.
"Come on, your turn to get ready now," she told her.
She stumbled to the bathroom, still half asleep. At this point, she gave zero flying fucks what she looked like at her appointment. She pulled her hair back into a simple ponytail, and applied minimal makeup.
The two women made their way to the living room to wait for Snow. The pregnant woman sat in her girlfriend's lap, entangling their fingers together. Regina absentmindedly played with Emma's hair with one hand, and kept their finger together with the other. Feeling her weight on her, definitely wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world. But she didn't dare try to disturb the pregnant woman two times within a matter of 10 minutes.
Turning her head around ever so slightly, Emma leaned in to capture Regina's lips in her own. Deepening their kiss, Regina moved her arms around her neck, pulling her closer. Only breaking apart for a moment, Emma pressed their foreheads together.
"I love you," she said.
"I love you more," Regina replied, smirking. In response to that, Emma leaned back and crossed her arms.
"I don't think so, Mayor Mills," she retorted.
"Oh, I see how it is, Miss Swan,"
Both giggling, the two of them found themselves embracing in the other's touch once again as they kissed.
Unfortunately, their kiss was interrupted all too soon by the ringing of the doorbell.
"Damn it, Mom," Emma muttered quietly. She stood up, then opened the door to greet her.
"Ready?" Snow asked them, gesturing to her car.
They nodded, then walked out together. Seeing as it would be awkward to have one of them in the front and one in the back, the couple just decided to sit in the back together, much to Snow's dismay.
"So... have you guys thought of any names yet?" She asked.
"Mom, we don't even know if it's a boy or girl... or whatever,"
"Well that doesn't mean you can't think of names yet,"
"We'll cross that bridge when it gets here,"
Knowing she was defeated, Snow sighed and was silent for the rest of the drive.
The three of them entered the building, then waited in the office for just a few minutes. Pretty soon, Emma was called up.
Accompanied by her mother and girlfriend, she made her way to the room. Having done this before, she knew to expect the cool gel when it was applied.
"All right, the baby is looking fine Miss Swan," the nurse said to her. She let out a gasp, "It would appear that your baby wasn't very shy today. Would you like to know the sex of the child?"
"Yes ple-" Emma was cut off.
"She would not," Snow said abruptly. "Don't tell us,"
"Mom!" Emma protested. "I wanna know!"
"Me too," Regina mumbled.
"I know, but I want to throw you girls a gender-reveal party." Snow said promptly.
"Would you like me to write it down, then give the paper to just you?" The nurse asked.
"Sure... although I wish I knew where that necklace was from David's mother," Snow said.
"Mom, you really don't have to do this. We can just find out right here and now,"
"Nonsense, I want you to find out in the best way possible. I'll plan everything out, and you can find out soon,"
"Fine,"
Chuckling to herself, the nurse finished the examination and ultrasound. She wrote something on a small piece of paper and handed it to Snow.
"I guess there's no arguing with her," Emma whispered to her girlfriend once they had gotten back to the car. Regina nodded in agreement, mentally rolling her eyes. Snow had also insisted on taking them to Granny's for breakfast. As much as they both protested that it was unnecessary, the woman would not budge.
As they entered the restaurant, it felt like all eyes were on them. Henry was even there, although he was sitting with Belle and a few of the dwarves who all had a copy of the same book in their hands.
Regina's eyes narrowed as she saw David walk up and kiss his wife.
"Emma, Regina," Snow started. "I'm not sure if you noticed, but I took a few detours on our way here so I could give everyone some time to get ready,"
"Get ready for what?" Regina asked.
"The gender-reveal," she said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
A smirking Ruby came from around the corner, carrying a cake that was covered in rainbows.
"All right everyone, if we could have your attention please!" Snow announced to everyone in the restaurant. It seemed that most of them had been invited by her within the last 20 minutes. "We are about to have the mothers cut the cake and find out the baby's sex." She handed the cutting knife to her daughter.
Shrugging, Emma looked to her girlfriend.
"Together?"
"Together,"
With both of them holding the knife, they cut a slice off. They shared a smile between themselves as Snow announced it once again to the rest of the restaurant who couldn't see.
"It's a girl."
