Chapter 5
Lets not talk about that.
A/N: This is a continuation from Chapter 4Enjoy and Please review and thank you for all who have read this story
A nauseous feel in her stomach woke Regina up this morning. Rushing to the bathroom she emptied her stomach content into the toilet.
That morning started off as same as any other morning except that this morning Emma had been woken up by her wife's frantically throwing the covers of their bed which had lumped themselves onto her side of the bed. Seeing Regina rushing to the toilet and hearing the sound of her wife throwing up into the toilet seemed a bit odd.
Getting out of bed and making her way to the bathroom she Knocked on the door softly, "Regina, honey are you feeling all right" feeling concerned as her wife had not taken a sick day as long as she had known Regina.
"I am all right. Just a stomach bug or something I ate" trying to alleviate the concerns that Emma started to feel.
Still feeling a churning in her stomach and making her way down to the kitchen. Sitting waiting for his moms to arrive and steered at her mom when she entered the kitchen. It is unusual that Henry is at the kitchen first as normally Regina or Emma always had to get Henry up as he longed for the comfort of his warm bed.
"Morning Henry had a good night."
"Sure mom I…" hesitating a little but plucking up the courage to ask her a question, "Mom are you ok. I heard that you been sick this morning."
"There is nothing to worry about just something that disagreed with me."
Emma arriving in the kitchen and giving her son a pick on the cheek, "Morning Squirt."
Rubbing his cheek furiously and feeling a tiny little embarrassed, "Ag ma not that."
Regina started to make breakfast and Emma turning on the coffee machine to make a fresh pot of filter coffee. The coffee smell drifted through the kitchen.
Regina liked coffee but today everything seemed to be different. Instead of savoring the smell of a freshly brewed pot of coffee the weirdest thing happened. Her stomach still felling queasy the coffee smell trigged a reaction not even Regina could understand. The coffee smell seemed to make her even more nauseous than she already was. Running to the downstairs toilet and empting the content of her stomach yet again.
Emma rushing to the toilet with Henry not far behind. "Gina, honey are you alright? Do you want me to make an appointment with the doctor?"
"No Em' everything is alright it is just something I ate." After washing the vomit taste out of her mouth.
Let the incident slide with Regina for a week without any sign of improvement. It look like Regina instead of improving from the phantom bug started to get worse especially in the mornings and also have this strange reaction to coffee that her wife enjoyed.
Sitting at her desk in the Sheriffs office and thinking that Regina needed to see a doctor a programme popped into her head. Thinking about the programme and remembering that it is called 'I didn't know that I was pregnant.'
Thinking about the programme the female in this programme seemed to connect that there was something odd about their body functions but took no action to have them checked out.
A chuckle and a small toothy smile came on her face. Remembering an episode where a young female in her twenties wearing a bikini. She was almost nine months pregnant and had a tummy that did not look, as she should be pregnant. Her tummy was flat as board.
She now connected the dots. Regina had been consistently sick and had a peculiar reaction to smell of coffee. She knew what she had to buy.
That evening Emma decides to pull Regina into her office for a private chat. Looking at Henry, "Henry I would like to speak to your mom in private. Once drying up the dishes either read or watch some TV."
"It there everything ok between you two" feel concerned that this might become an argument or something like that.
"Everything is fine. I just want to have a chat and there is nothing to worry about" said Emma.
Walking into Regina's office and closing the door after them, "Gina please take a seat. We need to talk about you feeling nauseous and having a strong reaction to coffee."
Sitting down next to Emma and steering into her eyes, "I told you it is a bug or something like that."
Taking hold of Regina's hand Emma continued, "When I was pregnant with Henry I felt nauseous especially during the evenings and what made the nausea even worse was apple sent."
A slight smile came over Emma as the sent of apples waffled through her nose. A trigger thought popped into her head. With a laugh, "Regina in prison I could not get away from the apple sent as the shampoo the prisoners used was apple scented shampoo."
Regina seemed to connect the dots but still there is a linger of doubt, "I told you that Leopold and I tried to have a child without any success."
"I know that you said that you were unable to conceive a child but I think that there could be another explanation to why you could not bare children."
"Em' what other explanation can there be other than that I cannot get pregnant" with small amount of confusion and skepticism about what Emma had said.
"Well Gina have you considered that King Leopold might have been the problem."
Thoughts filtered into Regina's mind that Leopold had Snow and it made sense that he should be able to bare more children. Tears started to trickle down her face and looking hopefully into Emma's eyes that what she had said might be true.
Moving closer to Regina and pulling her into a hug she rubbed her back softly, "Gina, honey I know that men some times become impotent and all the signs point to you been pregnant."
"I cannot be disappointed again", she whispered.
Releasing Regina from the hug and picking up her bag she scrabbled through her bag looking for something. Pulling out the pregnancy test kit and focusing on her wife again, "We need to make sure Gina, either way."
Looking at Emma in disbelief and shaking her head, "I can't", still feeling that if the test turned out negative her heart would break a little more.
Placing the pregnancy test kit on the table and comforting her wife, "I Know that you have been disappointed over the years but you need to trust me on this" as she empathize with her wife's feelings.
Nodding and picking up the test kit and turning the box over to read the instructions, "I will do this for you Em'" happy about how the pregnancy test kit worked.
Feeling satisfied that Regina started to come on board, "That's good. I spoke to the pharmacist and he said that the best results when doing the test is when you wake up in the morning.
That night Regina a night of anxiety thinking the test would be negative and all her hope dashed. The next morning she opened the Pregnancy test kit, did the deed and waited the allotted time with Emma.
"Well is it time", Emma seeming more excited than usual.
"No Em', another 30 seconds", with a little bit of annoyance toward her wife.
The time came to look at the stick, "What does it say?" looking at Emma for an answer.
"Well", looking at the stick closely and checking for the correct interpretation on the box, "it is a smiley face, you are pregnant."
Taking the stick and the box and examining it herself, "I'm pregnant " with a broad beaming smile on her face.
"We're pregnant" shouted Emma in excitement.
"Shhh, you wake up Henry" interjecting that her wife's voice was a little too loud. It was too late as Henry bustling in with all the commotion and seeing the white sticky thing in his mother's hand. The colour drained from Regina's face as she realized that she was still holding onto the pregnancy stick.
"Did I hear that one of you are pregnant", uncertain which of his mothers is pregnant or not.
Handing the stick back to Emma and kneeling down next to Henry, " Henry I am pregnant."
"Wow mom you mean that I might have a little brother or sister" feeling just as excited as Emma is for their little family to grow a little bigger.
"Yes Henry it could be a little brother or sister but we need to go to see the doctor to confirm the pregnancy", placing her hand onto her tummy.
Over the next couple of days Regina confirmed that she is pregnant. The doctor sent the Swan-Mill's family to an OBGYN and the Regina discovered that she is carrying twins as the scan of her womb showed to pea size smudge black spots.
It is time to tell Emma's parents David and Snow that they would become grandparents again. Both David and Snow had been waiting in the apartment as Emma has something import to tell them. After entering the apartment and telling them the happy news that Regina is pregnant.
All of the Charming/Swan-Mills family is happy with the news except Snow with one question on her mind. 'Why Regina could not get pregnant with her father and here now Emma getting her pregnant without any fuss. Things did not make sense at all.'
A/N: I totally enjoyed writing this chapter and had loads of ideas. I may use some of them in other stories.
