This chapter is for Bal09121994 with the prompt: "How about one where Emma is worried how Regina will react to her being pregnant but when Emma does tell Regina, Regina is very happy/excited and doesn't understand why Emma was worried about telling her?"

Emma was fidgeting. She hardly ever fidgeted, and Regina noticed. Something was up. Regina glanced over as Emma fidgeted again. Reaching forward, she grabbed the remote on the coffee table before pausing the movie that they were watching.

"What's wrong?" Emma asked.

"I could ask you the same question," Regina said. She looked at Emma knowingly.

"What do you mean?" Emma asked, feigning innocence.

"Don't act all innocent," Regina scolded. "You're fidgeting. You never fidget. So what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Emma said quickly. "Nothing is going on."

"Okay," Regina said, dropping the subject. She pressed play on the remote, starting the movie up again. They finished the movie with no more fidgeting, and went to bed shortly after.

"That's it," Regina said a few hours later. Emma kept tossing and turning, waking Regina up every few minutes. It was becoming a problem.

"I'm sorry!" Emma said. "I just can't sleep."

"Or sit still," Regina said. "Why don't you just tell me what's going on? It would make things much easier."

"Nothing is going on," Emma said.

Regina rolled her eyes before sitting up. She smirked as Emma slowly rolled over to face her. "Why are you sitting up?" Emma asked.

"Tell me what's really going on, are I'll tickle you," Regina threatened.

"You wouldn't," Emma whispered.

"Oh I would," Regina said. "Now what's going on that's making you so restless? Clearly something is bothering you."

Emma bit her lip. "I don't know how to tell you."

"Tell me what?" Regina asked.

Emma sighed and closed her eyes. She wasn't sure that she wanted to see Regina's face when she delivered the news. "I'm pregnant."

"You're what?" Regina asked. She didn't sound upset or angry, just incredibly shocked.

"Pregnant," Emma said. "I'm assuming from magic."

Regina stared at Emma in shock before smiling and pulling Emma in for a tight hug. "This is wonderful!"

"It is?" Emma asked in surprise.

Regina pulled away from Emma and looked at her in confusion. "Of course! Why wouldn't it be?"

"I don't know," Emma said. "I was just expecting a different reaction."

"What reaction were you expecting?" Regina asked. Emma bit her lip and looked away, not wanting to admit why she had been worried.

"Were you worried about my reaction?" Regina asked.

Emma slowly nodded. "I didn't know what to expect. We're only dating, and it's not like we discussed having a future together, or if our future together would even include kids. Plus I know that you don't like surprises, and this is probably the biggest surprise that you can get."

Regina smiled gently before grabbing Emma's hands. "I can promise you that I'm incredibly excited. I know that we never talked about a future, but I think it's pretty much implied that we're going to be together for quite some time now."

"I don't want you to feel like you're stuck with me," Emma said, pulling away from Regina.

Regina held on tighter to Emma's hands. "That's not what I meant. I love that you're pregnant with a child that is half me and half you. I won't be stuck with you, because I planned on staying with you anyway."

Emma smiled before leaning in to kiss Regina gently. "I'm glad that you're excited about this. Because it's going to be one heck of a ride."

"That it is," Regina said, smiling. "But I have no problem with that. We've defeated everything that this town has thrown at us. Raising a child can't be much harder."

"For you maybe," Emma said. "I've never raised a child. I just handled the pregnancy part."

"And I've only handled the child-raising part," Regina said. "Together, I'd say we make a pretty good team."

Emma laughed. "Okay, works for me. We've got this."

"See?" Regina asked. "You were worried for nothing."
