Repellent
Late that night Regina was getting ready for bed in the en suite. She stared in the floor length mirror holding her stomach. She wept as she pictured Daniels lifeless body on the hay in the stable. Nobody knew or cared he was dead but her and her mother. Regina then pictured Snow's face at the wedding. Regina didn't want to hurt Snow by keeping her unborn child but the child would be her last memory of Daniel.
A nock came at the bathroom door. "Regina? Sweetie?" It was the King and Regina's newly husband. Regina quickly put on her robes and fastened them. "Regina?" the King said again from behind the door. "Coming." Regina unlocked the door and opened it. She falsely smiled at the King who was now by the bed. He smiled back at her beautiful face. Her long hair cascaded down the right side of her face and chest. Her dark purple robes made her look even slimmer. "Your look so beautiful Regina" the King beamed. "Shall we dance?" The King took Regina in his arms and danced with her around the room.
Near the end of the piece of music there came a nock at the bedroom door. The King stoped the music and opened the door. Standing there was Snow and her Nanny. "She wanted to give you these, your majesty" Snow's Nanny said as Snow handed a bunch of flowers to her father. "Thank you for this special day and thank you for becoming my mother." Snow said to the King and Regina. "Thank you Snow" the King cheered as he hugged Snow tightly. "Good night" he finally said. "Good night father" Snow skipped down the hallway with her Nanny. The King closed the door and put the flowers in a vase by the bed. "Where were we?" the King asked Regina. He took Regina back into his arms and finished the dance. When the music had ended he placed both his hands either side of Regina's face, like Daniel used to. He kissed Regina passionately but Regina tried to resist. "What's the matter?" the King asked Regina after their kiss. "I…" Regina gulped. "I think I'm going to throw up!" Regina ran to the en suite and threw up into the toilet. When she finished and cleaned up she thought, was I sick because of the baby or was the King's kiss repellent?
