Regina waltzed into her sixth month gracefully, and Emmett was happy that he was there to witness it all. The tone had a bit of a hard time, adjusting to this softer Regina, who teared up when she didn't receive her latest craving, which could range from PBJ sandwiches and pickles to Granny's burgers and fries with a chocolate milkshake.
"Babe I have your food." Emmett, found his pregnant fiancé sitting in the kitchen waiting for him.
"I thought you forgot ." Regina sniffed, her lower lip quivering slightly.
"I didn't Ruby was chatting up a storm about baby names. I'm sorry I took so long."He kissed her pout and handed over the food.
Regina rubbed her belly thoughtfully, as she chewed a bite of the burger," She's kicking."
"Oh, it's a she now? " Emmett chuckled, placing his hands next to hers. "Gina if it is a girl, will you let her play soccer? She's gonna have some strong legs."
"No daughter of mine will be playing soccer, Henry is already in football, God knows how you convinced me to agree to that.."
"You know exactly how ." Emmett wiggled his eyebrows suggestively." Well, it could be a boy, but somebody doesn't want to know. And I could always teach Becca."
"No, You will not. I don't want any of my daughters participating in tactical sports. " Regina glared at Emmett, her cheeks puffed with food.
"Okay, Gina." The woman went to war in dresses for god's sake! She looked too cute to argue with." I'm gonna go take a shower, we'll talk about this later."
"Mhmm." Regina was content to sit and be alone with her food.
"Hi, Momma !" Rebecca squealed as she hopped into the kitchen, with crayons and colouring pages.
"Hola mija."
"Hola Mama . Como estas?" She stopped in front of Regina's stool, her face scrunched up cutely as she tried to pronounce the words correctly.
"Muy bein peqino!"Regina clapped, congratulating the child. "What do you have there?" She asked, as she took the colouring paraphernalia, and placed it n the counter.
"I coloured the baby, Momma, see." Rebecca giggled, pointing to the blue and red squiggles drawn across the page. "That's you, Momma, standing next to Henry and Papa, and the baby is in your tummy here."
"Ah, I see. And we are very colourful too. " Regina chuckled, looking at the blue stick version of herself.
"Yeah we're colourful because we're happy Momma, like a rainbow," Rebecca informed, bobbing her head up and down, causing messy curls to bounce around her cherub-like face.
"Momma ? " Rebecca tilted her head to the side in question.
Regina smiled at the girl's inquiring pose, "Yes baby? "
"Can I feel the baby ?"
Regina popped her last fry into her mouth before she took the toddler's hands and placed them on her protruding abdomen.
"The baby's moving Momma! " Rebecca gasped in awe, " It feels like waves."
"That's because of the baby's turning around ."
"Is she getting comfortable?" Rebecca asked, pressing her hands into the woman's stomach.
"Mhmm."
"Okay. Adios. " Rebecca waved scampering off with her colouring things to some corner of the house.
"Regina !" Emmett yelled from upstairs.
The woman in question rolled her eyes. Impossible.
Regina slipped off the stool and waddled upstairs and into their bathroom.
"Gina !"
"There is absolutely no reason good as to why you could be screaming my name like that." She placed her hands on widening hips.
"I need help with something." Emmett pouted.
"You are too old to pout, especially whilst naked," Regina smirked.
"I'm cute." He grinned, flicking wet hair out of his eyes.
Regina playfully rolled her eyes." What do you need help with dear? "
"Can you come to wash my back?" A tongue darted, licking slick bottom lip.
"Hmm. You do realize that both our children are in the house awake ?" She quirked an eyebrow.
"Yeah, but that's not stopping you from taking your clothes off now is it ?" Emmett counter saucily.
Regina shed her clothing and stepped carefully into the shower with Emmett's help.
"I'll be quick. "He smirked, " and hopefully you'll be quiet.
"We don't want you to be too quick no do we dear?" Regina watched him heatedly.
Emmett nipped a pebbled nipple in response. "Of course not ."
Emmett kneeled down in front of Regina, ready to worship his queen when their names were called.
"Mom !"
"Nana and Pop-Pops are here !"
The brunette woman groaned, slamming her head none too gently against the tile wall, while her lover chuckled against her stomach." Did I tell you how much I hate your parents?"
After getting dressed, with much grumbling on Regina's part, the couple found themselves in the living room, where she glared daggers at Snow.
"Uh - Regina? Is there something wrong?
Yes, your incredibly sexy son was about to worship me and you showed up. She rolled her eyes.
"Be nice," Emmett whispered, before greeting his parents.
"Hello, David . " Regina hugged her future father-in-law and smiled smugly at Snow. They had come to an understanding and all was forgiven, but Regina still liked to rile the woman up.
"Have you guys found out what you're having ?" David asked, his hands resting on her belly.
"Momma doesn't want to know. It has to be a surprise. "Rebecca piped up, from her perch on her grandmother's lap.
"That's right Becca and a surprise it will remain." Regina glared at Snow in a warning. Snow pouted.
"We're going to take Neal to the park. We just wanted to stop by and say hi. " David pulled Snow off the couch, where she seemed to be stuck.
"Momma ! Can Henry and me -ah I, go with Nana and Pop-Pops to the park? "
Regina's mind was already set. "Yes dear, you may go, if they allow it ."She replied a bit too enthusiastically.
Snow's eyes narrowed suspiciously while Emmett muffled a laugh.
"Sure Boo-bear, you guys can come ."David agreed, taking the children out of the house. Snow remained.
Regina, ever the Queen of Snark said, "Dear, you are on the wrong side of the door."
Snow was confused by the darker woman's behaviour, and said as much." I thought we were becoming friends ?"
"Snow my dear, that was before you ruined my shower. But now that the children are going with you, I can and will be thoroughly f-"
"Okay then! " Emmett cut Regina off. This conversation wasn't funny anymore, his mother did not need to know what he was thoroughly doing to Regina.
"I did not need that image. " Snow shook her head scandalized.
Regina rubbed her belly absolutely satisfied with herself. She turned to Emmett, "Now that she's gone, I do believe that I am to be involved in a thorough activity ?"
