"Sooo my love what do you want for dinner? The boys ate earlier in case you were wondering." Robin said as he sat down next to Regina who was reading a report on the sofa. She smiled and pulled his face towards hers and kissed him, and then grinned, "Whatever you feel like," "In that case milady may I tempt you with something new?" Regina raised an eyebrow, something new, how was it that she had been in this world for almost 30 years and he still managed to find new things for her. "Like what?" she purred. "mmmm I was thinking caviare and sushi." eekk fish, Regina wasn't the best with fish but he was excited and she loved that about him. "Sure." Robin smiled and lept up and out of the house to collect their meal. Soon they were both sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by candles, It was blissful. They laughed and joked and spoke about their sons. Soon they were both nestled in bed arms around each other sleeping peacefully with Roland and Henry asleep in their rooms.
At 3 am something began to stir inside Regina's tummy. " holy shit!" she thought as she lept up and ran to their en suite bathroom. She made it just in time to vomit into the toilet. "sushi.." she thought "I should have bloody known." she slumped down at the mercy of the toilet and began throwing up again. Robin hearing all the noise woke ten minutes later and ran to the bathroom where he found Regina sobbing her eyes out and vomiting uncontrollably into the toilet. He knelt down and pulled her hair back whilst softly rubbing her back. Regina vomited again but this time to the comforting sounds of her loving husband. Her throat burned and her tears felt like acid, but no matter how much she thought she had finished emptying her stomach more came. It was soon 3:45 and Regina was still vomiting into the toilet. Robin was starting to get worried. "I guess sushi is off the menu from now on" he whispered jestingly making Regina painfully smile slightly. "Robin.." she managed to say in between vomits. "I just want it to stop." her face was streaked with tears and she looked tired, "I know love, I know," he whispered as he sat down on the floor with Regina with her in between his legs with her back against his chest and her head resting on his shoulders, still facing the toilet. She retched and then leaned forward and clutched the edge of the toilet seat and began hurling once more. Robin then decided that maybe this was getting slightly more serious. He lent over and picked up the bathroom phone and called doctor whale. A few minutes later he was back to rubbing her back as she retched and heaved.
Soon he heard a car pull up and heard the door open. He had told whale where the spare key was so he wouldn't have to leave reginas side and soon he heard footsteps walk into the bedroom and towards the toilet. He smiled at Robin and began to speak to Regina, who was now limp and still sobbing over the toilet. "Regina its me, doctor whale, can you tell me how long you have been vomiting for?" Regina wasn't able to make a sound so Robin began to answer for her. "Its been nearly an hour now." Whales face suddenly began to look concerned. "Right...has she had any fluids since this began?" "No no, she's been like this." Robin rubbed reginas back as she began to hurl once more. "Right, Regina just nod your head for me, does your throat feel as though its on fire." she limply nodded her head and whale got up and went to the tap and poured her a glass of water. "Ok I need you to try and drink some of this." Regina shook her head and began to throw up again. Once she stopped she lay back slightly into Robins arms and he wrapped his arms round her gently. "Regina, darling you need to have some water, please." robin said calmly to Regina. Regina felt as though someone was punching her in the stomach and she was starting to feel dizzy from all the sobbing caused by the amount of pain she was in. Whale slowly moved towards her and coaxed the glass to her dry lips and she began to drink slowly. "Good Regina." said whale encouragingly. However moments later the water travelled back up and she was back to hurling in the toilet. Robin looked at whale."Regina," began Whale, "we're going to try that again ok." He looked at Robin and then said,"Its really important that we try and get some fluids into her, Regina are you ready." Regina had her eyes closed and was back to resting on Robins chest, her face buried slightly in his neck. Robin turned her face towards whale and whale began again to get Regina to sip the water. After Whale was satisfied with how much she drunk they both sat waiting and looking at Regina. "I think..." began Robin until he was interrupted by Regina who couldn't hold the water down any longer. Whale looked up at Robin, "This looks like a really serious case of food poisoning and she is loosing a lot of fluid so I'm going to need to take her to the hospital to try and stabilise the vomiting and get more fluids into her." Robin nodded and gently lifted Regina and rushed her down the stairs and into whales car with a bucket. Robin then rushed back to Henry's room waking him gently. "Henry your mum is really ill and I'm taking her to hospital, if I'm not back in the morning can you and Roland go to emmas?" Henry nodded and Robin smiled and rushed out the door and sat in the back of the car holding Regina as she continued to vomit into the bucket.
They were soon at the hospital and Regina was soon in a bed hooked up to fluids and was vomiting far less. Robin say next to the bed holding Regina's hand as she lay worn out. He pecked her forehead and watched as she slowly drifted to sleep. A couple hours later it was was early morning and Robin had awoken to find Regina smiling meekly at him. He grinned and kissed her cheek. "How are you feeling?" Her voice was all cracked and croaky but she managed to smile and say, "Better thanks to you." Doctor Whale then walked in and checked Regina over before pulling up a chair and sitting down."Well you will be pleased to know that your fluid levels are back to normal. Now you did have food poisoning but it was a very mild trace." Regina and Robin looked confused at each other. "How can that be? she was vomiting for an hour and a half?" asked Robin. Whale began to smile, "Well you had something called hyperemesis gravidarum, and that combined with the food poisoning caused your excessive and painful vomiting. an..." "Wait." interrupted Robin, "What's hyper,,," "I was just getting to that, Its basically, severe morning sickness. Congratulations you two! your going to have a baby." Robin and Regina looked lovingly at each other grinning from ear to ear. "But Robin..." began Regina, but Robin knew what she was going to say, she was supposed to be infertile, he lent over and kissed Regina, "It looks like true love can undo anything." She smiled, he was right, and now she was having his baby.
