"Pregnant? There is no way I'm pregnant!" Emma flashed back to when she found out she was pregnant with Henry she'd had strange dreams too but now just like then she dismissed them.
"When I was pregnant with you I dreamed for several nights about a blonde haired, green eyed little girl named Emma," her mother said Emma's eyes widened
"How long did it take you to find out you were pregnant?" Emma asked
"A few weeks your father had to practically drag me to Doc so he could check me out." Snow said Emma shook her head
"There is no way I'm pregnant," Emma said finishing her hot chocolate and heading back to her room pregnant? Ridiculous!
Weeks passed and despite the dreams, morning sickness, cravings, mood swings and Snow's insistence that she was Emma refused to believe she was pregnant. She just couldn't be, her and Graham... it just wasn't possible... was it?
Emma's mother wasn't the only one watching her closely, Graham was too he was worried about his wife she was moody, she craved cinnamon constantly, and often became sick after eating it. One day Graham went to Doc for advice.
"Doc?" Graham called poking his head into the healer's little workshop. The short, cheerful physician emerged form behind a wall of books he smiled when he saw Graham
"Ah, Prince Consort are those ribs giving you any trouble?" Doc asked Graham smiled
"No, thanks to you they've healed wonderfully," Graham said
"Well how can I help you today your Highness?" Doc asked
"I'm worried about Emma" Graham said
"She's been moody, and craving foods that make her violently ill afterwards." Graham explained Doc smiled
"If I were you Prince Consort I'd speak to your wife" Doc said Graham nodded
"Thank you Doc" Graham said nodding in the dwarf's direction before rushing off to find Emma. He found her in the gardens smelling the roses.
"Emma!" Graham called as he approached Emma smiled when she saw him
"Graham!" Emma said hugging him
"What are you doing here?"
"I've been worried about you so I went to go see Doc" Graham smiled
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Graham asked Emma frowned trying to recall if she had anything to say to him
"No... I don't think I do." Emma said Graham frowned
"Emma, are you pregnant?" Graham asked Emma gasped
"Did my mother tell you that?" Emma asked
"No, are you?" Emma sighed
"I don't know, my mother keeps insisting I am but... Gods Graham I think I am!"
"Why didn't you go to Doc to check?" Graham asked
"Because I'm scared Graham! What if we're not ready? What if something goes wrong?" Emma started to cry
"Hey," Graham said hugging her tightly
"Everything's going to be fine, come on lets get you to Doc" he said leading Emma back the way he'd come praying to the Gods for a child.
"When are we going to tell them your pregnant?" James asked Snow
"When Emma woman's up and announces her pregnancy" Snow said as James gently planted a kiss on her crown. They sat in her husband's study glad for some privacy. Just then there was a knock at the door Snow groaned as James got up to answer it. He returned with Emma and Graham a moment later
"We have something to tell you" Emma said smiling softly
"I'm pregnant."
"Yes! I knew it!" Snow cheered James cleared his throat
"Oh right, so am I!" Snow said
"Since when?" Emma asked
"Same as you, I just didn't say anything" Snow said shrugging
"This is going to be so great!" Snow cried
"My little girl, your little boy growing up together!" Emma cried
"A girl?" Graham looked at Emma skeptically
"What if it's a boy?"
"Graham, trust me never argue with the women of this family about the gender of their children." James said
"Why?"
"Because that's one argument you'll never win" James said
"What? Are you saying we'll over react?" Emma asked
"No not at all" James said quickly
"Sounds like it" Snow said scowling
"You guys are over reacting this is a huge misunderstanding" Graham said
"HUGE!" Emma cried
"You think we're fat!"
"No-"
"Well I guess you two won't mind finding somewhere else to sleep tonight!" Emma snapped before her and Snow stormed out Graham groaned as the door slammed behind the two infuriated women
"How did that get so messed up?" Graham asked
"Beats me" James said pouring two glasses of mead and handing one to Graham
"A toast to fatherhood, shall we live yo see it" James said
"Hear, hear"
"We're dead men" Graham said taking a sip of the drink and sitting in a leather easy chair
"That we are" James agreed.
