What if?
Chapter 2!
Six weeks later and they are still taking back the kingdom. They have defeated a lot of the King's army already though. The Queen has decided to make herself scarce for a while, that can't be a good thing.
A few days ago Snow started feeling sick, in the mornings mainly. Charming and everyone are very worried about her. This is the sixth time that she has thrown up this morning. Charming and Red are with her. Charming is rubbing her back in circles and Red is holding out a bucket for her. They are on Snow's and Charming's bed. "I hope you're going to be alright Snow!" Red said.
"I'm going to be fine. It's probably just a stomach bug or something." Snow said.
"A stomach bug doesn't usually last five days Snow." Charming said, worried for his wife.
"Look, if it makes you two feel any better I will go and see Doc ok." Snow said, uncovering herself and getting out of bed. She starts walking over to the exit of the tent.
"Where are you going?" Charming asked following Snow to the exit.
"To go and see Doc. He is back at the cottage right?" Snow asked turning to face her husband.
"Yes he is back at the cottage. But you're not going there on your own, I am going to come with you." Charming said.
"Charming, I am going to be fine. I'm just going to go and see Doc and I should be back here in a few hours. You have work to do. You can't spend all your time worrying about me." Snow said.
"I worry about you because I love you and I don't want anything to happen to you." Charming said placing a kiss to her forehead.
"I know. But Charming, I am going to be fine. I might feel better with a bit of fresh air. So please, let me go alone." Snow said
"Fine, but you have three hours ok. If you take any longer than that I will send out a search party to find you and bring you to me." Charming said causing Snow to laugh. "I mean it. I will actually send out a search party." Charming said laughing with his wife.
"Fine. See you later." Snow said, giving Charming a short but passionate kiss on the lips. She leaves the tent and gets on her horse. She rides off into the forest to the cottage of the seven dwarves. Charming watches her leave. Red comes up behind him.
"You really do care about her, don't you?" Red asked with a bright smile on her face.
"Of course I do. I love her more than anything." Charming said.
"I know. It's a good thing she's got someone like you in her life. After everything she has been through it's good to see her happy again." Red said.
"I know. It's good to see her happy again. She wasn't that happy the day I met her though." Charming said.
"Yeah but she barely loved you then. She loved you more and more every day that she spent being apart from you. I saw the effect not being with you had on her. It was probably one of the most painful things that she has ever gone through. Probably more painful than losing her father." Red said.
"Well, she will never have to be without me again. I am going to make sure of that." Charming said.
"I know you will. We should probably get some work done." Red said. Charming nods and they go to the war council tent where Lancelot, some of the dwarves and Granny are trying to work out a place to attack. They look at Red and Charming as they enter the tent.
"Where's Snow?" Granny asked.
"She's gone to see Doc." Charming said.
"Alone?" Grumpy asked.
"Yes. She forbade me to go with her. So I told her she has to be back in three hours otherwise I will send out a search party to find her and bring her back to me." Charming said. Everyone laughed. "Shall we get some work done?" Charming said as he stood between Granny and Grumpy and looked at the map on the table.
…
Half an hour has gone since Snow left. She has now arrived at the cottage. She knocks on the door and Doc answers. "Snow. Come in." Doc said.
"Thanks Doc!" Snow said as she walks through the door into the cottage.
"So, what seems to be the problem?" Doc asked his dear friend.
"How do you know that there is a problem?" Snow asked.
"Charming sent a bluebird telling me you were on your way and you were ill." Doc said.
"Of course he did." Snow said, a bit annoyed at her husband for doing that.
"So, what's the problem?" Doc asked.
"Well, I have been throwing up for five days…" Snow trailed off.
"Really? Would you lie down for me, on the bed?" Doc said.
"Yeah sure. Why do I need to lie down on the bed though?" Snow asked as she did as she was told.
"I just have to examine you. Now, tell me, what time of day do you usually get the sickness?" Doc asked as her felt Snow's stomach.
"Usually in the mornings, though I do get it in the afternoons and evenings as well sometimes. Why? Is there something wrong?" Snow asked.
"Usually the mornings you say. Well, I have a diagnosis then." Doc said with a smile on his face. "Congratulations Snow, you're having a baby!" Doc said.
"What?" Snow said.
"You're pregnant Snow." Doc said smiling at his friend.
"Really?" Snow asked, placing a hand on her stomach.
"Yes Snow. You are pregnant." Doc said. Snow sits up and embraces Doc in a hug. Doc hugs her back. "Congratulations Snow!" Doc said. Snow has now started crying.
"Thank you Doc!" Snow said through her tears.
"That's alright Snow. We should get you back to the tent. We wouldn't want Charming sending out a search party now, would we?" Doc said causing Snow to laugh.
"Well actually I would quite like to see him send out a search party. But, I suppose we should get back." Snow said, this causes Doc to laugh.
"Yeah, we should. Come on Snow." Doc said. The pair leave the hut and head back to camp.
…
Back at camp Charming, Red, Granny, Lancelot, Grumpy, Sneezy, Happy and Bashful are still gathered round the table, looking at the map. It has been almost three hours since Snow had left. Charming was getting worried now. But he didn't have to be worried because Snow and Doc have just entered the tent. Snow rushes over to Charming and pulls him into her embrace. "Hey. How are you feeling?" Charming asked hugging his wife back. Snow pulls away.
"We need to talk!" Snow said, taking her husbands' hand and dragging him away from the tent. She then drags him into their tent.
"What's the matter? Is everything ok?" Charming asked Snow, worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just. I need to tell you something…" Snow trailed off. Charming looks at her with a worried expression on his face.
"Is it something bad? Why have you been sick these past few days?" Charming asked, concerned for his wife.
"No, it's not something bad…" She trailed off, placing a hand on her stomach. "How do you feel about being called daddy?" Snow asked with a smile on her face. Charming looks at the hand on her stomach and realises what she is telling him. He smiles.
"Snow, are you pregnant?" Charming asked.
"What do you think?" Snow answered with a smile on her face and tears trying to force their way out of her eyes. Charming has tears in his eyes too as he picks Snow up and spins her around. She squeals as he does so. He puts her down.
"I love you Snow, and our baby." Charming said.
"I love you too." Snow said as she kisses him with passion. He kisses her back with passion and love and joy. They both start crying at the same time. He then breaks the kiss.
"You know what the baby is going to be right?" He asked Snow.
"Yes." Snow answered.
"Are you going to tell me what it's going to be?" Charming asked.
"No. It's still a surprise." Snow said.
"Fair enough. We're going to take back the kingdom Snow, as a family." Charming said placing a hand on her stomach.
"Yes, yes we are." Snow said placing a hand on top of his. They kiss again not realising the crowd of people that have gathered in their tent. There is Lancelot, Red, Granny, the dwarves and everyone else that is helping them take back the kingdom. They are all watching this moment with smiles on their faces. They all cheer and Snow and Charming break the kiss realising they have company.
"I think this calls for a celebration. Don't you?" Charming said as he faces the crowd of people with his arm wrapped around Snow. Everyone cheers again and Red rushes over to Snow and pulls her into an embrace.
"Congratulations Snow!" Red said.
"Thank you Red!" Snow said through her tears.
"Let's go and celebrate." Charming said. They all leave the tent and celebrate the news of the baby that is on the way. After everyone else is asleep Snow and Charming go and celebrate in the more private way of having sex in their tent. They are going to be a family and that is all they can think about right now. The news of the baby has taken all of the worry of taking back the kingdom out of their head and they will be happy for the next few hours. Only thinking about them and their baby. But will this baby change things? Will it stop them from taking back the kingdom? Will it stop them killing Regina? You will have to read on to find out.
