It had been a month. Regina was trying to focus her life on Henry. As much as she was trying to hide her sadness, he knew her too well not to see it. He was therefore even more motivated to get operation mongoose going. Each day Regina picked him up at Emma place and walked him to the bus stop. Then, she was helping Snow with her Mayor duties. She did as much as she could even though she often felt tired and even dizzy. It was not surprising since she was crying herself to sleep almost every night.

That morning she had not been able to eat breakfast. She grabbed a crescent and a yogurt before she left the house, thinking she would regain her appetite at the office. When she arrived and met with Snow, she wasn't feeling well at all.

- Regina, are you okay? Asked Snow.

- I don't know, Regina said putting a hand on her forehead. I have this huge headache.

- You can go home if you're not feeling well. I'm pretty sure I can handle a day alone here.

- It's okay, it's just… I didn't eat this morning. I'll just eat and I'm sure I'll be fine.

Snow sat down and took out the recent files that they were working on as Regina took a bite of her crescent. "Henry's new teacher says he looks distracted at school, said Snow. I think he is a little worried about you. I told him you were able to take care of yourself but maybe if you had that talk with him…" As Snow lifted her eyes from the paperwork she noticed Regina was getting pale. "Are you okay? She asked again with a concerned look." Without saying a word, Regina flew out of the room and locked herself in the bathroom. She was definitely sick. Snow knocked on the door. "Do you need help? Maybe you should go home… You know, it's been a while since you're not feeling so well. Maybe you should see a doctor." After a moment, Regina opened the door. "I'm fine, she said as she was fixing her hair." Snow frowned and stared at Regina for a moment.

- Do you think… I mean, is it possible that you might be pregnant? Snow asked with a tiny voice.

- No way! Regina cried. I mean… No!

She could no longer shake that idea out of her head. What if Snow had guessed right? At the pharmacy she stared at the pregnancy tests for a few minutes. She was scared and unsure if she was prepared for that answer. Tom Clark approached her. "May I help you?" His eyes widen when he noticed what she was looking at and he started sneezing uncontrollably. Regina quickly grabbed one of the boxes and walked past him. "I don't need help from a sneezing dwarf, thank you."
