Thanks for all the support.
Regina
"Pull over," She couldn't do this.
"What."
"PULL OVER!" Regina yelled. The rental car quickly swerved off the road on to the dusty should. She couldn't breathe and she felt her stomach on the verge of vomiting. The hot dry air was not helping her current state.
"Regina!" her mother yelled and was quickly by her side.
"I – I can't – can't breathe," Regina gasped. Panic started to set in.
"Robin," had gotten out of the car and was next to them, "get some water and call 911." Robin quickly jumped in to action. In no less than 5 seconds later robin was handing Cora bottle of water has he did his best to give their location to emergency services. "Sweetheart you having a panic attack," Regina just started panicking even more. "You need to try and breathe normally. Here." She took her daughters hand and placed it on her chest, "try and fallow my breathing."
Emma
"Whoa," Emma sat up a little straighter in her seat.
"What?" she looks out the car window to see an ambulance and fire truck on the side of the road, "Whoa."
"Right, I wonder what happened," you could see the group of EMTs assisting someone onto the gurney. "Hope they are okay."
"Yeah," with one last look they continued on their way.
Regina
"Hello," the Doctor flipped through the chart,"Ms. Mills, I hope you're feeling a little better."
"Yes, thank you. How is my baby?"
"That's good," he checked her vitals, "and the baby is a little stressed, but alright. Breathe deep for me." She did what he asked. "Have you been experiencing an abnormal amount of stress?"
"More so today," the doctor just looked at as if waiting for her to continue, "I just flew thousands of mile to tell other parent to my child that I am pregnant." She let out a tired giggle.
"That will do it," he said pity evident in his voice. "I want to keep you overnight," the stress instantly rising, "it's only cautionary. Just to make sure there are no complications, but I doubt that will happen as he seems very strong." She smiled that small compliment took so much weight off her shoulders. He wrote down a few more notes. "Everything looks great. Just relax and I will be back to check on you in a few hours." With one last smile the doctor left the room.
"How are you feeling sweetie?" Her mother asked worry evident on her face.
"Stressed obviously." Regina rolled her eyes.
"You're stressed?" Robin joked. She wasn't the mode.
"Could you guys leave please I just want to be alone." It wasn't a question it was a demand.
"Regina–," her mother tried to protest.
"Mother please. I am in a hospital where I am sure there are plenty of qualified people who can help if something happens. You both look tired and hungry; knowing that it's due to me freaking out is stressing me out more. And while I appreciate you being around and supporting me, I feel overwhelmed and smothered and I just want to be alone for a little while." Her mother wanted to argue with her but the disheveled look of her daughter made her reconsider. With a conceding nod her mother gathered her purse and Robin.
"Would you like me to bring you something to eat?" She asked before exiting the room.
"Yes, please, anything but a salad or you know healthy."
"Okay," Cora wanted to argue. A salad would keep her grandson healthy and no better time to start then when children are in the womb. After today though she didn't see the harm in being a little unhealthy as long it destressed Regina even for a little bit.
Emma
"Grandma!" Emma yelled through the house. Her grandmother comes rushing out of her room.
"Hi honey," she kisses her granddaughter's head. "I am running late. I put $30 for pizza on the coffee table."
"Wait, where are you going?" Emma fallowed her grandma out the door.
"To the hospital. I Volunteer their once a month. Your mother got me into it." It was true her mother volunteered weekly at the hospital back home. She had been a pillar of philanthropy ever since she was younger but Emma never knew it rubbed off on her grandmother.
"Oh okay. What time will you be home?"
"10" her Grandmother rushed out the door. Checking the time on her phone Emma assets that she had 5 hours give or take on her own. With phone in her hand she flopped down on the couch. Quickly she typed out a text.
E: Hey got the house to myself want to come over
H: Sure…like an actual d8?
E: It's just you coming over if you want
H: Y do I feel like I am going to have my 3 brokn?
E: It can only be broken if have fooled you self into believe there is more.
H: Is ther mor?
E: Nope…
E: are you coming over or not?
H: Yea… be ther in 30
She hated doing this to the girl, but she had needs. Plus she told Hailey what this was and if feeling were caught by her. Emma would stop this arrangement. Quickly she instinctively flipped through her facebook and found the once person she wanted. Clicking on Regina's profile she smiled. It was her guilty pleasure. She would routinely go to Regina's profile and skim through all her post. Lately though she hadn't posted anything new this was upsetting. Sometimes Emma would get the courage to write a post or IM but would ultimately delete it. She noticed recently Regina had recently been silent on her profile. While scrolling down a post caught her eye.
Found this on amazon thought it was super cute! Hope the little guy loves it!
Attached was a picture of super hero onesies. She was shocked. What the heck did that mean? Was Regina Pregnant? No not her Regina. Regina was to smart and would never let that prick get her pregnant. No impossible it Regina isn't like that. But what if?
E: Hey are you pregnant?
Emma waited. The little green online status circle appeared. Regina was looking at the message. Emma waited. Nothing. Only once did the little typing message notification showed up, but still nothing.
"Hey," Emma looked up to see Hailey standing there looking at her. Emma looked back down at her phone and the green status circle was gone and there was no message.
"GOD DAMN IT!" Emma flipped out kicking over the coffee table.
"Whoa Emma," Hailey said slightly scared for the first time in the awkward relationship.
"That stupid bitch!" Emma seethed. She turned around punch a wall which happed to be brick. Emma didn't feel the pain though.
"EMMA STOP!" Hailey tried to restrain the other woman, "Stop. What the fuck is going on?" It was only then that her emotional pain made sense.
"She – she may be pregnant and starting a family with her – her boyfriend." Emma Dropped to her knees. Now the pain in both her hand and heart were present.
Regina
"Hello," Regina looked up from her phone. In her room stood a older woman with piercing blue eyes and Platinum blonde hair. She had a cart of flowers she pulled along with her.
"Hello," Regina stated politely.
"So what are you having?" Seeing the confusion in Regina's face she continued, "A boy or girl?"
"Oh a boy." She smiled.
"Boys are amazing." The old woman placed the flowers down. "Girls are too. I had two boys. Twins actually."
"That sounds like a hand full. Sit please." The old woman sat. "I'm Regina."
"Nice to meet you, I am Ruth. So do you have a name yet?" she smiled happily. It was a relaxing smile that melted away some of Regina's anxieties.
"Yes, I haven't told anyone yet, because I am waiting to see if the father wants to be in his life." She smiled sadly at the thought of Emma rejecting him. Especially when she knew he would be a sweet loving boy. "He will get her last name is she want to be a part of his life, but if not he will get mine.
"Oh that last name thing is over rated you should just go with whatever name you like better." Regina smiled at the and open nature of this old woman.
"I guess. I just really want everything to go smooth and for her to love him," she could imagine the adventures they could get into then shook her head to clear the fantasy away.
"She would be a fool not too," Ruth comforting words reassured her, "What's his name?"
"Henry Daniel."
