Chapter 8
Ruby tried so hard to convince them to let her plan them a huge wedding, with a huge reception afterward. She wanted them to have it all. The flowers. The cake. The huge dresses that cost more than Emma's car. But in the end, all they wanted was a small quiet ceremony in the backyard, surrounded by Ruby and Granny. That's where they found themselves, a few weeks later, standing in their backyard wearing simple white dresses, the afternoon sun warming them, white flowers braided in their hair, the grass tickling their bare feet, with Ruby and Granny already crying behind them.
"Do you, Regina, take thee, Emma, to be your lawfully wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward? Do you promise to love, honor and cherish her, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?" The Justice of the Peace asked Regina.
"I Do." Regina said, her voice catching in her throat.
"And do you, Emma, take thee, Regina, to be your lawfully wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward? Do you promise to love, honor and cherish her, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?" The Justice of the Peace asked Emma.
"I Do." Emma whispered. Behind them, Ruby and Granny gasped, as they continued to cry.
"And now, it's time to exchange rings." The Justice of the Peace said, motioning for Ruby to deliver the rings. Rushing over, Ruby opened the small velvet bag, placing two rings in the Justice of the Peace's open hand, before rushing back to Granny, a new set of tears falling on their faces. "Regina, would you like to go first?" She asked, as she held her hand out for Regina, who took Emma's ring.
"Emma, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love and faithfulness to you." Regina said, grabbing Emma's left hand. "Wear it as a sign of my love and dedication to you. Just as this circle is without end, my love for you is eternal. Just as it is unbreakable, my commitment to you will never fail." She said, as she slipped the ring onto Emma's finger, pushing it up to the second knuckle. "With this ring, I thee wed." She said, kissing the top of Emma's finger, pushing the ring the rest of the way onto her finger, Granny crying out behind them, causing Regina to laugh slightly.
"Emma?" Asked the Justice of the Peace, holding her hand out for Emma to take the remaining ring.
"Regina, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love and faithfulness to you." Emma said, grabbing Regina's left hand. "Wear it as a sign of my love and dedication to you. Just as this circle is without end, my love for you is eternal. Just as it is unbreakable, my commitment to you will never fail." She said, as she slipped the ring onto Regina's finger, pushing it up to the second knuckle. "With this ring, I thee wed." She said, kissing the top of Regina's finger, pushing the ring the rest of the way onto her finger. This time Ruby cried out, startling them, and she reached to cling to Granny for support.
"With the power vested in me, by the state of Maine, I now pronounce you…joined in matrimony. You may now kiss your Bride!"
Time stopped once again, as Regina and Emma kissed for the first time as Wives. It felt like magic, as they stood there, lips together, arms wrapped around each other, as their family cried behind them.
"Congratulations Ladies." The Justice of the Peace said, when they eventually ended their kiss. The sound of a cork being popped from a champagne bottle caught everyone's attention, as Ruby poured five glasses of champagne, toasting the newlyweds. A little while later, as the sun began to set, they sat down to a wedding feast prepared by Granny, just the four of them, with an amazing wedding cake at the end. Ruby made sure the top tier was safely placed in the freezer for their first anniversary before insisting they smash the cake in each other's faces.
Two days later, they stood in the same spot once again, this time Ruby standing before them, as the light of the setting sun began to light the sky with orange and pink colors.
"We stand here together…"Ruby started to say, taking a deep breath before continuing. "…at the very spot you stood a few days ago, after joining together as Humans, to forever join you as the Wolves that live inside us all." Ruby said, shifting slightly, as the familiar tingle sensation of the incoming full moon washed over their skin. She unrolled the braided cord, holding it out in front of the women. The cord was made of three smaller cords, braided together to make one large cord, one black to symbolize the Black Wolf inside Regina, one white to symbolize the White Wolf inside Emma, the middle a warm grey color, the perfect combination of the two.
This time, neither of them wore a dress. There were no flowers in their hair. This time, the three women stood before each other wearing jeans and t-shirts, keeping things simple.
"This cord of rope symbolizes so much. It is your life, your love and the eternal connection that the two of you have found with one another. The ties of this hand-fasting are not formed by these ropes or even by the knots connecting them. They are formed instead by your vows, by your pledge, your souls and your two hearts, as you become bound together as one." Ruby said, as she began to wrap the braided cord around Regina and Emma's joined hands, crossed in front of their bodies, the ends of the cord resting in the middle of the intricate wrapping.
"Emma, here is my love, take it. Here is my soul, use it. Here is my heart, please don't break it. Here is my hand, hold it and together we will make it forever." Regina said, as Ruby tied the first knot over their joined hands.
"Regina, across the years I will walk with you, in deep green forests; on shores of sand. And when our time on earth is through, in heaven, too, you will have my hand." Emma said, as Ruby tied the second knot.
"Upon this day, our hands we bind. A symbol of our hearts entwined. To witness this, we ask of thee, our union forever blessed be." They said, in unison, as Ruby tied the final knot.
"These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow and forever. These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind. These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow and tears of joy. These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children. These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And lastly, these are the hands that, even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch." Ruby said, as she held their hands in her own, tears rushing down all of their faces. "By the light of the setting sun, as the fullest moon approaches, I declare you two bound together, heart, body, and soul, both as Humans and Wolves, from now, until the end of time." Ruby said, hanging on by a thread. "Now will you kiss already before I lose it!" They laughed, as Regina and Emma kissed, the Wolves inside them bound as one.
With Ruby's help, they shifted out of their bounds, leaving the knots tied, with ten minutes to spare before sunset was complete, giving them just enough time to secure their cord inside the house and quickly slip out of their clothes before shifting. Regina's howl was louder than usual, her happiness spilling through, as she waited for Emma and Ruby to join in. They listen for Granny's howl across town, before taking off into the forest for the second night of Wolf's Time.
A few weeks later, Emma went into heat again.
"Sheriff's Office." Emma said, answering the phone with a yawn.
"Deputy Swan-Mills, it's Mayor Swan-Mills." Regina's deep Mayoral voice said from through the earpiece, causing Emma's heart to race.
"Good afternoon, Mayor Swan-Mills. What can I do for you?" Emma said, unable to control her smile.
"I have some very important paperwork that requires your signature. I would very much like this matter to be resolved before today's Council meeting." Regina said.
"I'm on my way!" Emma smiled, as she hung up the phone, making her way to the door, stopping at Graham's office door. "Hey, Regina just called. She said there's some paperwork I need to fill out before the meeting, so I'm going to head over now. I should be back around four-fifteen." Emma said, hurrying out of the station, practically jumping into her car. Ten minutes later, Emma walked into Regina's office, closing the door behind her.
"Lock the door." Regina said, without even looking up from her desk.
"So where's this paperwork I need to…" Emma started to say, interrupted by Regina's lips against hers.
"There is no paperwork, Darling." Regina said, wrapping her arms around Emma's neck, pulling her close again. "I needed to see you."
"Thank god!" Emma smiled, kissing Regina. "I thought I was going to lose my mind." Emma said, as Regina moved her slowly towards the couch off to the side, pushing her down as soon as her legs hit the edge, climbing slowly onto Emma's lap.
"I don't think I'm going to make it through this meeting." Regina said, shifting to kiss Emma's neck. "You're so close to your peak…"
"Let me help you." Emma smiled, pulling Regina's blouse out from where it was tucked into her dress pants. "Switch spots." Emma whispered, as Regina climbed off her lap.
As soon as Regina sat back down, Emma unbuttoned her dress pants, pulling them off her legs in one swift movement. Regina's panties were soaked with slick, as she pulled them off as well. Kneeling in front of her Wife, Emma lifted her legs over her shoulders, immediately diving in, licking the length of Regina's soaking folds, running her tongue up the length of Regina's shaft, before taking her into her mouth, bobbing her head a few times as she took more and more of Regina. Regina grabbed the back of the couch with both hands, as Emma slowly made her way back down to Regina's throbbing core, slowly moving her tongue into Regina, her hips began to move with each thrust of Emma's tongue. With the heightened arousal of Regina's rut, it didn't take much for her to bring her over the edge, her legs squeezing Emma's head tight, trapping her between Regina's legs. She never stilled, thrusting her tongue deep inside Regina, her walls closing tightly around Emma's tongue, as her second orgasm began to build.
"Emma!" Regina cried out, a little too loud, as she tumbled over the edge a second time. She reached between her own legs, grabbing Emma's head lightly. "Come here, My Love." Regina whispered, as her heart thumped in her chest, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath.
"I can keep going." Emma smiled, as she climbed to sit next to Regina on the couch.
"It's your turn." Regina smiled, as she shifted to kiss Emma passionately, tasting herself on Emma's lips and tongue.
"I can't. I'm too close to peaking." Emma said, as she ran her fingers over Regina's face. "I could smell you the minute I walked in the door."
"We're so close." Regina smiled, knowing any moment Emma would peak, which would mean their first mate.
"Is it bad that I'm a little nervous?" Emma asked, as she ran her fingers through Regina's hair.
"No. I'm nervous too." Regina said, pulling Emma close to her. "What if I'm not good?" She whispered, her voice so small.
"You're kidding, right?" Emma asked, shifting to look at Regina fully.
"We've never has sex with…this…" Regina said, pointing to her penis. "What if I don't know how to use it? What if it doesn't feel good for you? Oh god, what if I hurt you?" Regina asked, tears forming in her eyes at the idea of accidentally hurting Emma.
"Shhhh…." Emma said, placing her finger over Regina's lips. "It's going to be amazing…for both of us. Do you know why?" Regina shook her head no. "Because it's you and I. Together. It's going to be amazing because we'll be mating…together…whether it's the first or hundredth time…and we're going to make a new life. A pup that's part me and part you. It's going to be amazing because I love you with every fiber of my being." Emma said, wiping the tear from Regina's eye. "It's going to be amazing because YOU are amazing."
"I love you, Emma Swan-Mills." Regina said, her eyes bright.
"I love you too, Regina Swan-Mills." Emma said, tucking a piece of hair behind Regina's ear. "You need to put your pants back on though. I think those stuffy men will all have heart attacks if you lead the Counsel meeting with no pants." Emma laughed.
"Then again, they might finally take me seriously when they find out I have a bigger dick than they do." Regina laughed, causing Emma to snort with laughter.
Regina quickly pulled her pants back on, shifting a little uncomfortably when she put her soaking wet panties back on, before stepping back into her heels. After refreshing her makeup, and making sure all remnants of red lipstick was removed from Emma's lips and neck, they walked together, hand-in-hand towards the meeting room, sharing one last kiss before they walked into the room.
"REGINA!" Emma screamed, as her orgasm crashed through her, her back arching all the way off the bed, as Regina continued to thrust her tongue into Emma's soaking core, insisting on returning the favor from a few hours earlier. They barely made it through dinner together, insisting on sitting at opposite ends of the table, their scents too strong. As soon as the dishes were done and the dishwasher started, Emma dragged Regina upstairs, ripping her clothes off the moment the door was closed. Regina pushed Emma onto the bed as soon as they were completely naked, spreading her Wife's legs wide, licking the length of her folds, drinking in the taste of her Wife. She never stilled, until Emma orgasmed a second time, screaming Regina's name so loud she thought the neighbors could hear. And then, it happened.
"Emma…" Regina whispered, her voice nervous. "It's time." She said, as she looked down at her erection.
"Yeah?" Emma asked, just as nervous as Regina.
"Are you ready?" Regina asked, her voice shaking. "Wolves mate for life. Once we mate, we mate for life."
"I'm ready!" Emma answered, smiling. "Are you ready? We can wait if you want." Emma said, meeting Regina's nervous eyes.
"I've never been more ready." Regina smiled, as she slowly climbed back up to Emma, kissing her softly.
"Go slow." Emma whispered, as she spread her legs, giving Regina access to her.
Regina shifted slightly, as she reached between them, guiding the tip of her penis into Emma, thrusting slowly until the remainder of her shaft was inside. Emma inhaled deeply with the feeling of Regina inside her, a soft moan escaping with her exhale.
"Is this ok?" Regina asked, as she slowly started thrusting, her voice soft, her head swimming with the feeling of being inside Emma.
"It feels amazing, Regina." Emma whispered, guiding Regina's face to her, kissing her sweetly and deeply. "You feel amazing." Emma whispered, as she kissed Regina's neck softly.
Emma's skin burned underneath her, as they fell into a rhythm together, speeding up gradually. Regina's arms shifted under Emma's back, as Emma wrapped her arms and legs around Regina's back, holding each other tight. They were drawn to each other's neck's, kissing the junction of the neck and shoulder, as they continued to move together as one.
Suddenly, it felt as if there was an explosion deep within them, starting in their core, traveling through each of them, as they climaxed together, Regina ejaculating deep within Emma. As their powerful orgasm shot through them, neither noticed when they bit down hard on each other's necks, so hard they tasted blood.
"Don't…stop…" Emma cried, as Regina continued to thrust harder and harder into her, their hearts beating against each other's chest.
"Never…" Regina whispered, as she continued to move with Emma, slick running down her thigh from her neglected vagina.
Something shifted deep within them, as their second orgasms tumbled through them. Their hearts began to beat in unison, their breathing matched each other, as the scent of the forest mixed with lilacs filled the room, mixing to create one unique scent.
That was the moment they became one.
No longer were they two different people. In that moment, they were one, as their third orgasm together ripped through them, sharing in the sensation. There are no words in the English language to describe this experience, the feeling of becoming completely whole again, becoming reunited with their other half, finally becoming whole again.
They moaned together, their voices becoming one, as climax after climax ripped through their shared body, the only thought in their shared subconscious was each other. With one final deep thrust from Regina, a strong wave of energy shot through them, as they climaxed together one last time. Regina collapsed on top of Emma, falling asleep instantly, as Emma wrapped her arms around her Wife tightly, holding her as their bodies twitched, the electricity from their orgasms still spreading through their veins.
The smell of forest and lilacs slowly began to fade while Emma held Regina. Ten minutes later, Regina stirred, her eyes slowly fluttering open, as she looked deep into Emma's green eyes, staring back at her.
"Hi." Emma smiled.
"I think I fell asleep." Regina said, her eyes still heavy with sleep.
"You did." Emma said, running the fingers through Regina's sweat covered hair. "You're still inside me." Emma smiled.
"I know." Regina smiled. "We knotted."
"We what?" Emma asked, a confused look on her face.
"Right before our final climax, the base of my penis swells, creating a knot. When the knot is inserted during our final orgasm, the walls of your vagina grab onto it, locking us together. It's called knotting. It increases the likelihood of catching." Regina explains.
"Catching?" Emma asked, still a little confused.
"Conceiving." Regina smiled. "Eventually, the swelling goes down and the knot disappears so we can separate. I can try to pull it out before, but it'll probably hurt a lot."
"No. Leave it in. I like being stuck to you." Emma smiled. "Regina…that was…I can't find a word to describe what we just shared." Emma said, trying to find the words. "It felt like…like…"
"…like we became one. One body. One soul…" Regina said, as she gazed deep in Emma's eyes.
"Yes…" Emma said, tears falling from her eyes. "I felt you inside me. But not physically…I…I…I can't describe it…"
"I know what you mean." Regina smiled.
"Is it always like that?" Emma asked.
"I think so." Regina answered, shifting slightly.
"Oh Regina, I think I bit you." Emma said, as she pushed Regina's hair to the side, revealing the deep teeth marks on the left side of Regina's neck, blood still oozing out, as it dripped down her back. "Oh god, Regina, it's bad. You're bleeding!" Emma said, trying to shift under Regina's weight.
"I bit you too." Regina smiled, as she looked at the matching bite mark on Emma's neck. "We marked each other. It's the moment that I became yours, and you became mine." Regina explained. "We are now officially bound to each other in every way possible. Legally, spiritually and physically."
"Forever!" Emma whispered.
Regina fell asleep again, her head nuzzled against Emma's chest, as Emma held her tightly, running her fingers through her hair. A little while later, she felt Regina slip out, a stream of semen and slick leaking out of her. She shifted slowly under Regina, not wanting to wake her, heading to the bathroom to clean herself a little, before returning to the bed, her Wife still sound asleep. She turned off the lights and pulled the covers over their naked bodies, as she settled back next to Regina, who shifted in her sleep to lay back on Emma's chest. Emma finally closed her eyes again, falling asleep instantly, with her arms wrapped tightly around Regina.
They were in the exact same position when their alarm went off the following morning.
"Let's go to Granny's for breakfast." Regina said, her voice still hoarse from sleep.
"That sounds great." Emma said, kissing Regina. "I need to shower. But I can't move." She smiled, feeling a pleasant soreness between her legs.
"Are you sore?" Regina asked, concern in her voice.
"A little. But it's a good sore." Emma answered, cupping Regina's face, smiling wide. "We need to change the sheets tonight. It got a little messy when we separated last night." Emma said.
"I forgot to mention that might happen." Regina said, shifting off Emma. "And there's blood stains from our marks too." She said, looking down at the deep red marks by the pillows.
"That too." Emma smiled, reaching to touch the bite mark on her neck, as she stretched and climbed out of bed. "Shower with me, before we're both late." She said, reaching out her hand for Regina.
Thirty minutes later, they were both showered and dressed, and Regina was back in the bathroom, plugging in the hairdryer as her flatiron warmed up on the counter.
"Leave it curly. Just for today." Emma said, walking back into the bathroom. "Be Regina today, not Mayor Mills."
"Ok." Regina smiled, as she turned off the flatiron, grabbing a little hair gel to make sure her natural curls didn't frizz during the day.
They made their way to the diner, taking their usual spot at the end of the counter, ordering quickly, choosing healthier options over their usual Wolf's Time breakfast.
"What happened to your neck?" Ruby asked, when she saw the bandage on Regina's neck, while refilling their coffee. "Emma get a little too frisky last night?" She winked, causing a look of terror on both their faces.
"Ummm…yeah that's it." Emma said, trying to pull the attention away from Regina's neck.
"Wait…" Ruby said, when she finally noticed Emma's matching bandage, her face lit up. "Family meeting…NOW!" She yelled, dropping the coffee pot on the burner, rushing out from behind the counter, signaling for Regina and Emma to follow her, leading them into the back office where Granny was seated behind the desk, working on orders.
"What are you doing?" Granny scolded when Ruby slammed the door behind them.
"OH MY GOD! YOU GUYS DID IT, DIDN'T YOU! THAT'S WHAT THOSE MARKS ARE!" Ruby screamed, ignoring Granny behind her. "YOU MATED!"
"Yes." Regina said softly, reaching for Emma's hand, a wide smile falling across her face.
"When?" Ruby asked, enthusiastically.
"Last night." Emma answered, looking over at Regina.
"What was it like? Do you think you're pregnant? Do you feel pregnant? Why didn't you call me?" Ruby asked, shooting question after question.
"We were a little preoccupied." Regina said, a deep blush working it's way across her face.
"Tell. Me. EVERYTHING!" Ruby said.
"That is a conversation for a different time and place." Granny said, standing and making her way to Emma and Regina, hugging them both separately. "Congratulations to you both." She said, turning towards Ruby. "However, the three of you are grown women, and all have jobs to get to. Talk of private bedroom activities can and should be done at a more appropriate time and place. Get back to work!" Granny said, pushing the three of them out the door.
"Fine. But this conversation is not over!" Ruby said, as they made their way back into the diner, Regina and Emma shared a look as they both knew there was no escaping the nosiness of Ruby Lucas.
A week later, Emma curled up to Regina, as they laid in bed together, a deep sadness in her eyes.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Regina asked, running her fingers through Emma's hair, a move she knew would calm her.
"I have bad news." Emma said, tears already in her eyes.
"What is it?" Regina asked.
"I got my period today." Emma whispered. "I'm so sorry, Regina. I'm not pregnant."
Four months later, Emma walked into Regina's office, a bag of food in her hand.
"Emma? What are you doing here? Did we have plans today?" Regina asked, shocked to see her Wife unexpectedly.
"Nope. I just wanted to surprise you. Your secretary told me you were free at this time." Emma said, making her way over to Regina's desk, dropping the bag. "I got you a kale salad." Emma said, unpacking the food, pulling out her usual grilled cheese sandwich.
"You eat like a child." Regina smiled, as Emma took a large bite of her sandwich. "Is that a root beer?" Regina asked, noticing the bottle sitting on the side of the desk.
"I got you one too." Emma said, grabbing the bottle, trying to twist off the top. "Thought you could use a break." She said, handing the bottle over to Regina.
"You do know me far too well." Regina smiled, taking a sip of the sweet liquid.
"So…" Emma started to say, taking another bite. "I'm late." She said, shyly.
"It's ok. Just tell Graham you were in a meeting with me." Regina laughed, taking a bite of salad.
"No, Regina…" Emma said, raising her eyebrows. "I'm Late !"
"Really?" Regina asked, her eyes wide with excitement.
"Yeah. A week actually." Emma said. "Which means we can take a pregnancy test." Emma smiled, her heart pounding. "I stopped at the drug store outside town and picked one up. I was thinking maybe tonight after dinner…"
"Not tonight. I can't wait that long." Regina smiled. "As soon as we get home."
"Even better." Emma smiled, glancing at her watch. "Now I better go. If I'm late Graham will think we're being naughty again."
"Let him think what he wants." Regina said, making her way over to Emma, kissing her passionately. "I love you, Emma Swan-Mills." She whispered, her forehead resting against Emma's.
"I love you Too, Regina Swan-Mills." Emma whispered. "I'll see you at home."
Four hours later, Emma walked into the den and flopped down next to Regina, both still dressed in their work clothes, Regina still wearing her heels.
"You would think they would make these things easier. Peeing on a stick is harder than it looks." Emma said, placing the pregnancy test on the coffee table, setting a timer on her phone. "Five minutes." She said, sitting back into Regina's arms.
They sat in silence, while they watched the numbers count down, their hearts pounding in their chests, Emma's leg shook nervously as they waited. They both jumped, as the alert sounded when the timer hit zero. They took a collective deep breath, sitting forward, as Emma grabbed the test, results facing down. Regina grabbed Emma's remaining hand between both of hers, as she watched her Wife turn over the test.
Emma cried when she saw the single line on the other side. The test was negative.
"There must be something wrong with me." Emma said, as she covered her face in her hands.
"There's nothing wrong with you, My Love." Regina said, prying Emma's hands from her face. "These things take time."
"I know." Emma said, tears rushing down her cheeks. "I really thought I was pregnant this time." She added.
"Maybe it was too soon. If you don't get your period in the next couple days, we can take another test." Regina said, wiping the tears from Emma's face. "When the time is right, we'll have our baby." Regina said, failing to hide the disappointment in her voice.
"Yeah. I guess you're right." Emma said, falling into Regina's arms.
"Why don't you lay down, I'll get dinner started." Regina said, pulling away from Emma, making her way into the kitchen.
She broke down completely as soon as she made it to the kitchen, her tears falling on the granite countertop as she clutched to the counter for support.
Emma got her period the following day.
"Swan, you look like crap. You ok?" Graham asked, stepping out of his office.
"It's Swan-Mills…" Emma said, walking out of the bathroom, having just emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet. "…and no. I feel like crap. I think I picked up that stomach bug that's going around." She said, flopping back into her desk chair, not entirely sure she was finished throwing up.
"Get out of here and go home." Graham said. "You're no use to me if you are throwing up every five minutes."
"You sure?" Emma asked, doubling over, feeling the second wave of vomit coming up.
"Yeah. It's a slow day. I can handle it. Go home and rest." Graham said, as Emma bolted for the bathroom again, heaving into the toilet.
"Ok, I'm leaving." She said, her skin clammy, walking slowly out of the station to her car.
She barely made it into the house before she threw up again in the downstairs bathroom, before moving slowly to the bedroom, kicking her boots off before flopping onto the bed. She tossed her badge and gun onto the nightstand as she stared up at the ceiling for a few minutes, before rushing to the bathroom once again.
She must have dozed off at some point, waking up to the sound of Regina's voice calling for her, as she walked into their bedroom.
"Hey, are you feeling ok?" Regina asked, sitting next to Emma on the bed, her hand immediately feeling Emma's forehead for signs of a fever.
"Not really. I feel like I'm going to puke." Emma said, shifting towards Regina.
"Let me change my clothes and I'll make some ginger tea. I'll go pick up some of Granny's chicken soup for dinner. Her soup is practically penicillin." Regina laughed, kissing Emma lightly on the forehead, before standing and making her way to her dresser.
"So, when I was throwing up this afternoon, something told me to take a pregnancy test." Emma said, rolling over to face Regina.
"What were the results?" Regina asked, trying not to sound too excited.
"I don't know. I couldn't bring myself to look. I didn't want to get my hopes up, because we only mated last week." Emma said. "It's on my dresser."
"May I look?" Regina asked, shifting her eyes from the pregnancy test on Emma's dresser and Emma, still laying on the bed. Emma nodded.
Regina's hand was shaking, as she reached out for the test on the dresser, inhaling suddenly as she turned the test over, her hand immediately covering her mouth.
"Emma…" she whispered, tears streaming down her face as she spun around to face Emma. "…you're pregnant!"
A/N: Sorry, not sorry for the little cliffhanger :D
I did a ton of research and based their hand-fasting ceremony on actual hand-fasting ceremonies, adding a Wolf twist, of course.
And once again, I got misty eyed while writing it. I love these two so much!
Let me know what you think so far!
