Prompt from butterflykisses0: Regina gets sick (throws up) in front of Robin and Robin has to take care of her / Regina tells Robin she is pregnant
"Please tell me this isn't happening." Regina moaned.
She had never been late in her entire life. Like clockwork, every twenty-eight days her period would come. That is except for this month. She was over a week late and beginning to worry. They had been careful always using protection. Well almost always. There was that one night when they both had a few to many drinks. Damn! She knew whiskey was a bad idea. Now she was waiting in the doctors office for a test to possibly change her life.
The signs were all there of course. The past few days had been filled with her trying to keep her food down for more than one meal. She thought it might be the start of the flu, but now there were other signs. Her and Robin started getting intimate the night before. He was massaging her breasts, something she normally enjoyed thoroughly, but it hurt. Not to the point that she told him to stop, but it was a dull pain that added to her suspicions.
Then there was the six pregnancy tests she had taken. The first one she was sure was a false positive. The second: a mere fluke. Defective. By the fourth one she began to cry. A baby was not something she or her thief had planned. More importantly how on earth would she tell him? After the sixth positive test she called the doctor. She needed to be 100% sure before she even thought about telling him.
Whale came into the room with a smile on his face. "Well congratulations Regina. You are pregnant." He started to talk about vitamins and other things that she should be doing but the Queen had stopped listening. When he told her to lie back to do the sonogram she was not even in control of her body. All that was running through her head was how the hell she would tell Robin. "There is your baby." That statement pulled her out of her mind. It was a dot on the screen, but it was there. Her baby.
"Please tell me this isn't happening." Regina moaned.
It was just after 1 pm when she left the office. After making sure Whale kept him mouth shut or else he would be relieved of his arm once again. Her phone buzzed and the caller ID let her know that it was Robin. Her stomach dropped. Swallowing hard she answered. "Hello?"
"Hello darling. Care to meet at Granny's for lunch?"
She should have expected this. They had been apart all day because of him working at the sheriff station with David and Emma. "Uh sure. See you there." She hung up without another word. Once she was in the car she had to ask herself if she was really ready to face him. It took a few moments, but she decided that she would wait to tell him. No point in bringing it up now. He was in the middle of his work day and she had a few things to take care of at the mayor's office anyways.
Her stomach was doing somersaults when she entered the diner. All she needed to do was act like nothing was wrong. It shouldn't be that difficult right? He was at their normal booth and waved her over as soon as they locked eyes.
"Are you alright Regina? You seemed distracted on the phone."
She had not even said much on the phone and he knew something was wrong with her. That was one of the things that Regina loved about him. No matter what he could see right through her. "I'm fine. I was just in the middle of a meeting when you called." She covered. It was not exactly a lie.
They both ordered food and she listened to him talk about his work while they waited. When Ruby came by with their lunch Regina immediately regretted ordering the grilled cheese. Robin gave her an odd look when she said that was what she wanted, but she was hoping something light would stay in her stomach. However, the smell of melted cheese was making her stomach churn. A smell she had never noticed before now invaded her nostrils and waged war with her gag reflex. She refused to get sick here.
Robin took notice of her pale form. "Regina your pale. Are you sure nothing was wrong?" He knew better than to take her word for it. She would be dying of the plague before admitting that she was sick. He had noticed that she was suffering for the past few days. Roland had come home with the sniffles a week before so he assumed she must have caught his cold.
She tried so very hard to ignore the bile rising in her throat. A nod was given to her love in fear that if she opened her mouth then it would betray her. A few more minutes passed and she could no longer stay in the same building as that melted cheese. Without explanation she bolted to the bathroom. Hearing him follow, tears started to come to her eyes. Being pregnant was not a secret that she was going to be able to keep. There was no point in locking the door behind her so she didn't. Despite that it was a women's room she heard him come in and call out her name. Instead of a response she emptied what was left of breakfast into the porcelain bowl.
He followed her with worry etched on his brow. This was not normal behavior for her at all. When they reached the restroom and he heard her puking he shook his head. The woman was so stubborn. Gently he tried the stall that he heard the offending sounds coming from and found her. He bent down without a word and massaged her lower back while holding her hair out of the way. "Roland needs to learn that there are somethings that he should not share." A small laugh left his lips as she sat back on her knees.
The tears started and refused to stop. She didn't know what to make of his Roland statement because it made her want to laugh but all she could do was cry. "It's not Roland's cold."
Now he was confused. She was crying but it made no sense at all. He had heard of various illness that could be quite serious if not taken care of. Maybe this was one of them. "Regina it's alright. We can handle what ever this is. We will get you the proper treatment and everything will be fine." Robin pulled her onto his lap for comfort.
She had to laugh a little at that. "No Robin. I'm not sick." She hesitated and looked up into his beautiful green eyes. "I'm pregnant." She waited for him to let her go. To run away from this news. Instead he only held her closer.
"Thank God!" He let out a breath that he did not realize he was holding. "Darling that is wonderful! Why are you crying?" Robin could not understand her reaction. She was carrying his child and he could not love her any more at that moment.
Regina also breathed a sigh of relief. "Your happy?" She didn't really answer his question because her relaxing gave him an answer.
A vibrant smile broke across his face. "Immeasurably!" With that he leaned in and kissed her deeply.
That is how the show should go! Happiness all around! Part two will be up in a few minutes!
Hope this is what you wanted! It was want I did :)
