I know! Sorry for the wait! It's the end of semester on my college and I'm going insane! But I would never abandon this story. 3 lol
I do have a little struggle writing it, but I do my very best.
Disclaimer: nah, still not owning OUaT, David, Regina, Josh or Lana. Damn, life would be GOOD if I did.
4 1/2 months later
"For the love of God, Regina, if we don't leave right now, we're gonna be late for our doctor's appointment!", David yelled, while he picked their coats and her purse.
"I can't go!", Regina yelled crying from upstairs.
David sighed, dropped their things on the couch and went upstairs. He loved Regina, there was not a single doubt about that. But the last few months of her pregnancy were driving him crazy with these emotional burst outs... He actually enjoyed all of that, maybe because of the fact that she was carrying his child, he didn't really cared.
Regina had stopped working a month ago and since then, she had spent her entire days at home, wich was, cleary, driving her crazy aswell. One time or another she would go out, but on rare occasions. When David wasn't at home, Henry took care of his mother, making all her wished, that sweet boy.
"What is it, baby?", David ask still at the hallway, getting to their bedroom. As soon as he turned, he found Regina, only in her lingerie, sitting on the edge of the bed, crying with a bunch of clothes around her. He smiled at the funny view.
"I don't have nothing to wear", Regina said, lifting her head to look at him. She got up and went to her closet. "I'm so huge, nothing fits me anymore!"
"Oh Regina, c'mom, that's not true. If there's one thing that you have way too much is clothes", David said while getting closer to her.
"Yeah, all my beautiful and expensive dresses and skirts from when I was thin and could wear them!", she said, mad at him. He laughed. "Why the hell are you laughing? Do you think this is funny?", even more mad, wich made him laugh even harder.
"Come here", he took her by her hand and led her to a full mirror. He placed her in front of the mirror and stood behind her, holding her belly with both his hands and placing his chin on her right shoulder. "See that?", he asked, smiling.
She stopped crying, but remained quite.
"You look incredibly beautiful. You are the most beautiful in the world."
"Really?", she smiled between tears, looking at their reflections. "Do you really think that?"
"Regina, I tell you how beautiful you are every single day. Why today would be any different?", he simply asked.
She turned to him and hugged his waist, placing her head on his chest. "I'm sorry, David", she said, turning to look at him. "I'm sorry that I make you suffer so much", they laughed. "And thank you, for being you."
"Hey, I love you", he gave her a light kiss. "Now go get ready before we lose our apointment", he laughed.
She laughed too and entered the bathroom. He went back downstairs to wait for her. 10 minutes later, she was ready and they left the house.

After the doctor's appointment, Regina and David dropped by Granny's to eat come lunch. He opened the door for her and lead her to a booth. They sat and soon Granny came to take their orders.
"Oh boy, should I be boiling water?", Granny joked, looking at Regina's big belly.
Regina laughed. "Oh Granny, maybe you should! The doctor just told us that any minute now!", she said, excited.
"Yeah, it seems about that. How are you feeling?"
"Well, pretty tired, back sored and frustated because I don't have any clothes that fit me", she laughed and David joined her, remembering the events this morning.
"Well, that just seems like a normal 8-months-pregnant woman to me", she smiled. "So, what can I get you two lovebirds?", she said, looking to both of them.
"I'll have pasta and a diet coke", David answered and looked at Regina.
"And I want chicken with rice and salad and a orange juice, please."
"Okay, be right back", Granny said, leaving.
David brought his hands up the table and reached to grab Regina's.
"You know, I can still hear her little heartbeats", David said with a big smile, like his whole heart was melting. "It's funny because back in our land, we didn't had any of these tecnologies, and now, being able to enjoy all this, is amazing."
"Yeah, I completely agree with you. I mean, I never got pregnant back there, but this is a first for me too, so, is pretty amazing. Although, she's really tiring her mother out", she joked, looking at her belly, "I'm loving all this. It's an amazing experience, one I never thought I would go through it", she looked at their hands.
"Well, I'm happy we're going through it together", he lifted their hands and smiled. She smiled back. God she loved this man.
The door bell rang, suggesting that someone had just entered the dinner. And there it was Snow, Emma, Neal and Henry. David was with his back to the door and was to focused on the woman in front of him to noticed anything else. Regina saw the four of them and opened a big smile. They went in her direction.
"Hi everyone!", she said, making David look at them for the first time.
"Hi there! Guess we all had the same ideia, huh", Neal joked.
"Hey, why don't you join us?", David asked.
"No offense, grandpa, but I don't think we're all gonna fit here", Henry said.
"Nah, don't be silly, we'll put another table together", David smiled, already getting up.
Neal helped in with the table and the chairs, while Regina stood up so Henry would sit in the corner. The two of them soon sat down and Regina hugged him sideways, kissing his forehead and smiling at him. He kissed her temple and then her belly, telling some secret to his sister, wich Regina thought that it was really adorable.
Snow sat in front of Henry, with Emma and Neal on her side, while David took this seat next to Regina.
"Sorry we already ordered, you guys, we didn't knew you were coming", David, said.
"Oh, that's no problem at all, David. We decided to come here from last minute", she laughed with them.
Ruby came to their big table.
"Well, this is a scene I never thought I would see, but hey, glad I was wrong!", Ruby said. Everyone smiled at her. "So, what do you want?"
They all quickly ordered.
"So", Snow begun, "how's the pregnancy treating you, Regina?", she smiled.
"Oh! I think I've reached the limit!", she joked. "The doctor said that she can come anytime now!", she said, excited.
"Wow, that's great!", Emma said, equally excited. "We better watch out know, everyone!", she joked and they laughed. This was indeed, a happy reunion.
The food arrived and they ate while talking about all kinds of things. It seemed like a desk of madness, since everyone was talking at the same time. It was pretty beautiful to see, actually.
"Well, everyone, this is been a lot of fun, but we really should get going", David said, already getting up.
"Yeah, I wish I could stay, but my feet are all swollen and I'm really tired, already. God, this is annoying", Regina said, sad because she didn't had the same energy has before.
"Hey, don't worry, I felt the exact same way when I was pregnant", Emma said, with a sympathetic smile.
Regina smiled and stood up aswell. While David went to the balcony to pay their bills, Regina stayed to say her goodbyes, kissing especially Henry, that had stood up too.
"Hey, Ruby, the table's on me, ok", David said at the balcony.
"Wow, that's really nice of you, David", Ruby said with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm in a pretty good mood", they laughed.
David failed to notice a man that was getting closer to him and was a little startled when he heard the voice from behind.
"David, right?"
"Yes?", he said, turning around and getting shocked to see who it was. "Oh! Is it.. Greg, right?", he asked, not sure if he liked what we was seeing. Afterall, Greg was na outsider who came to Storybrooke, stayed for no reason and then left misteriously.
"Yeah, that's me", Greg smiled.
"What happened to you? You left town without anyone knowing it", David said, trying to hide his curiosity.
"Yes, I had to take care of some business, but now I'm back. And I'm feeling I'll stay for a while", Greg said and somehow David didn't liked it the way it was said.
Regina came to join David and was startled to see with who he was talking to. She slowed her pace, but got to her husband, linking their arms.
"Ready to go, honey?", she whispered at David, without looking at Greg.
"Regina! The mayor of the town, isn't it?", Greg said. "I have a feeling you remember me", he gazed at her.
"Mr. Mendell", Regina swolled. "What brought you back?", she said, gazing him.
"I guess I just missed this", Greg said with a smile that didn't fooled anyone. "But wow, things have changed, huh! You are with Mary Margaret's husband?", he said, making fun of it. "And with child?", he stared too long at her belly. "It's been only two years."
David didn't gave time for Regina to answer, he could see her getting uncorfotable. And quite honest, he wasn't liking the way this Greg stared at his wife and their unborn baby. "Well, if you'll excuse us, we have to go", he grabbed Regina's hand. He pulled her and she gave one last look at Greg, warning him to stay out of their lifes.
David and Regina left Granny's without looking back. Both of them felt a little strange after this encounter. Regina, especially, was feeling extremely unconfortable and David could see it.
"I don't like that guy. There's something about him that is not right", he said.
Regina stopped in her tracks and let fo of his hand. She sighed and looked at the ground, holding back tears. Immediatly, David ran to her, putting a hand on her neck and other on her stomach.
"Hey, what's wrong? Is everything okay?", he panicked.
"Yeah, don't worry, is nothing with the baby", she look at him, crying.
He sighed a sigh of relief. "Then what is it, babe?", he gently asked.
"I- I have to tell you something", she closed her eyes.
"Okay. Let's go home and we'll talk there, okay?"
"No, it has to be now, I have to tell you this now", she said and David knew he couldn't tell her otherwise.
"Fine, let's go sit on the bench in the park", he smiled to her, trying to get some confirmation.
She nodded and a few steps later, they were sitting.
"David", Regina started.
"This is about Greg, isn't it?", he interrupted her.
"How did you knew that?"
"I had a feeling, by the way you two were treating each other, that there is some history between."
"Yes, well", she breathed. "I thought I would never speak of this again", this was difficult for her. "On the first week of the curse, 30 years ago, I was surprised when this little boy and his father appeared in town. No one should know about Storybrooke, it was invisible for outsiders. So of course, I didn't knew what to do, I freaked out. I tried to get rid of them, but something about that boy stopped me. He was the first person to treat me kindly since as long as I can remember", she looked down at her hands. "We got a long really well, the three of us. But when I suggested that they stayed for good, his father didn't accept it. You see, in my twisted mind, I wanted us to be a family, so I did the only thing I thought I could do to keep that boy to me", she started crying now, embaressed by her actions. "I locked his father aways for no reason at all. David, I was trying to force this boy to stay with me. That little boy left, without his father. I swear I let go of him as soon as the boy was taken by the police."
"What happened, Regina?"
"That boy is Greg. He, rightfully, blames me for growing up without a father. He thinks I still have him locked somewhere in Storybrooke."
Davis was shocked. Not he felt that Regina was in danger. He putted the pieces together.
"I'm so sorry, David. I never told you this because I thought I would never see him again. I thought he had left for good two years ago. You must be thinking that I'm a horrible person now."
"Hey", he held her hand, making her look at him again. "That was the old Regina, with hints of The Evil Queen still inside her", he joked, wich made her laugh. "You're different now. And if you say to me that you don't know about his father whereabout's, than I trust you."
She smiled, holding back more tears that were about to come.
"But I didn't liked it at all the way he was looking at you and how he was talking to you", he clenched his jaw.
"I think he's still obsessed with that idea. I think he wants his revenge, David", she said, fear all over her eyes.
"I won't let anything happen to you, Regina. I can't let anything happen to you. Don't worry, okay. We'll keep an close eye on him. Everything is going to be fine", he lifted his hand to caress her face. He brought her face to his and kissed her, tenderly.
From an distance, Greg watched the whole scene. "How sweet", he thought. "The Evil Queen is happily married to Prince Charming. You'll just wait, Regina, you'll just wait. Your time will come. You'll pay for what you did to me."
So there it is! I wasn't really happy with this chapter, especially that whole 'reunion' scene, but whatever.
Please review, I want to know what's on your mind! :)
