Doc Knows Best
Regina was sick on and off all night. Every time she would just drop off to sleep she had to move quickly to the bathroom. This was not the night the King had planned for him and his new wife. Regina was worried as ever that something had happened to her baby because this was not normal pregnancy sickness.
In the morning the tired King called for the Doctor to tend to his unwell wife. "Doc, please find out why Regina has been so ill. I can't lose another wife" the King pleaded to Doc. "I will do my best your majesty" Doc replied. Doc entered the bedroom where Regina was laying in bed. He closed the door and walked towards Regina. He placed his medical briefcase next to Regina and opened it. "A few questions, your majesty." Doc said. "Please Regina is fine." Regina winced. "Of course, Regina." Doc smiled which reassured Regina. "Now, any chance you could be pregnant?" Doc continued. Regina looked down at her lap afraid she would throw up at the thought of somebody knowing. "Regina?" Doc asked after a while. Regina couldn't answer. The words stuck in her throat.
A tear dropped into Regina's lap as she sat there thinking about her baby. "Regina, this is totally confidential." Doc held Regina's hand. Regina looked up into Doc's face and whispered "Yes. I am pregnant." Doc's face lit up. "The King and you will be excellent parents." Doc beamed with glee. Suddenly Doc's face fell confused. Regina shook her head in guilt. "The King is not the father." Regina started to flood her eyes with tears. Doc let go of Regina's hand. "Then, who is?" He questioned. "My forma love, but he is dead now." Regina sobbed. Doc held Regina as she sobbed softly into her hands.
After a while Doc broke the sobbing. "Regina, does the King know?" She shook her head. "I don't know if I should get rid of it." Regina struggled. Doc sat next to her on the bed and looked straight into her eyes. "You mustn't. The King will understand." Doc assured Regina. Regina felt slightly better. "Your baby is fine. Probably stress." Doc stood up, closed his medical briefcase and picked it up. "He will understand." Doc said before he opened the door. Doc stepped outside the bedroom where the King and Snow waited patiently. "She is fine. Just stress from her wedding. That's all." Doc shook the King's hand and walked away. The King bust into the bedroom and hugged Regina tightly and soon after Snow followed. "I thought you were dying" the King said almost crying. However the King didn't know Regina had already died inside when her mother ripped out Daniels heart.
