She was always snapping all of a sudden. She wasn't even sure why. Henry had asked her the other day if he could stay over at a friends and she had yelled at him about how he didn't care about his school work. And the stupid thing, Henry was a straight A student. Then Robin, who had only tried to cook her dinner, and she had yelled at him saying that he was trying to take over in the kitchen which they all knew was her domain. Even little Roland had drawn the short straw with her temper when he refused to go to bed. Regina let her face rest in her palms as she sat at the counter at granny's waiting for her pancake order. She nodded with thanks at Red when her food was brought to her. It was a lot of food. 3 pancakes, 4 rashers of bacon, 2 fried eggs, 3 slices of toast, mushrooms and a pint of orange juice. She tucked in and half an hour later the plate and cup were squeaky clean. She smiled meekly at Red when she came to collect the plate and gave Regina a shocked glance. Regina payed her bill and got up to leave, as she was exiting she bumped into snow. "Regina!"
"yes..."
"I was actually coming to find you." Regina formed her familiar frown,
"Why?" Snow pulled Regina towards a chair outside granny's and sat them both down.
"I bumped into Robin, and he said that you had been acting really strangely recently. and I ve been watching your eating and you seem to be eating an awful lot." Regina scowled.
"Your point being?" Snow smiled and leaned forward, "Well I kinda had the same issues...ya know...when I was pregnant with Emma, and Neal. Do you think you might be..." Regina stood up, "No. so leave me alone." She stormed off leaving snow looking puzzled. She couldn't be pregnant, she was barren, but it would explain a lot. On her way home she stopped by the drug store and decided to pick up a test. She knew it wasn't possible, but still, it would put her mind at ease as to why she was acting so weird.
She left the bathroom door open, nobody was home. Regina sat down and peed on the stick and sat waiting. Everything was going through her mind. Why was she doing this? What if it was positive? What if it was negative? How would she tell Robin if it were positive? Where they even ready to have a baby? Regina looked down at the stick waiting gingerly between her shaking fingers. A plus. Regina's worried scowl turned into a giant grin and she giggled slightly as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Regina!" Robin shouted as he ran and crouched down in front of Regina who was still crying, with a worried expression on his face. Using one hand he lifted her chin slightly exposing her tear stained smiling face. "What's wrong?" "I'm sorry I've been so...horrible this past week." Robin smiled slightly and shook his head. "It's fine, honestly, but what's wrong? what's that?" "Its the reason I've been acting so strangely." Robin still looked confused. "Robin...im pregnant." Robins concerned expression turned into a giant smile. "Your what?" he whispered, picking her up and twirling her around the room. "Pregnant! hahaha IM PREGNANT!" she shouted with glee as she spun round staring into Robins eyes. They both were laughing hysterically prompting Henry and Roland who had come in with Robin to run into the room. "Mama! Papa!" squealed Roland. They both looked over at their two children and Robin kept Regina in the air. "How do you both like the idea of being big brothers!" Henry smiled and then whispered a translation into Roland's ear. Roland screamed and ran and wrapped his tiny arms around Robins legs, joined promptly by Henry. That night they all sat around the fireplace enjoying the happiness that was their growing family.
