So I keep starting a chapter with an idea and then it never works out like that. I wanted to get this finished and posted cos soon enough, there'll be weeks between updates. I'm so ridiculously tired, at least I have a few weeks off for Easter starting after the weekend.
February 28th 2017
After a deep, personal conversation with her son and her son's other mother, Emma had gone to visit her parents, figuring now her son knew, it was time to involve them. One thing she would never admit to her son was how worried she was that when she returned to the hospital for further tests the week after, there would be something genuinely wrong.
Of course her parents reacted the way she thought they would, and after telling them numerous times that she did not need them to attend the appointments with her, they insisted she spend the rest of the evening with them seeing as she'd be going back to Regina's and probably not returning for a while.
She spent a couple of hours watching movies with her brother and when he was in bed she spent time with Snow and Charming, talking about everything except what they wanted to talk about. Before long Emma was yawning repeatedly, and it took little convincing from Snow to make her stay the night. With a quick goodnight text to Regina she settled into her old room and closed her eyes, almost instantly asleep, only for her to be woken moments later as the scent of apples filled the room. She didn't say anything as Regina appeared in front of her, instead moving from the centre of the bed so the mayor could slide in with her. They were both silent as they lay facing each other properly for the first time in over a week. The brunette placed a careful kiss onto the blonde's lips as Emma pulled Regina closer to her. No words were spoken as they fell asleep in each other's arms.

"No… No… Gina, no…!" Regina startled awake as she heard her name, sounding somewhat pained as it fell from Emma's lips. When she opened her eyes she saw her faces was inches from the blondes which was scrunched up in pain. A quick glance at the clock showed it was around 4am and that they had been almost 5 hours.
"Emma…" She muttered the name softly, raising her arm to push the hair from her face, noticing it was matted, and the sheriff was too warm for her liking. She spoke louder, pushing her shoulder gently, still receiving no response. "EM!" Her tone this time was harsher, but she was not loud, not wanting to wake anyone else up.
Emma's eyes shot open, and they were panicked until they registered the woman in front of her. They instantly calmed and swam with love as she removed the mayor's hand from her forehead and placed a kiss to her palm. She smiled lightly, noting Regina's concerned look.
"Emma, you're burning up, we need to get you to see a doctor…" Emma shook her head and pulled Regina closer, laying her head on her shoulder.
"Gina, I'm just a little warm. You're a very warm person. Calm down." She snuggled closer and soon the blonde was back to sleep. Regina watched her for a number of minutes, grinning as Emma began to mutter in her sleep. He inane nonsense mumblings made the older woman smile, until her face dropped at the first clear sentence spoken.
"Why won't you just marry me Gina?"
