A/N: Thanks for all the reviews you leave me. It inspires me to update more often!

Regina sighed as she leaned back against Emma's sofa as she waited for the blonde to get ready. Emma wanted to go baby shopping but she wanted to go out of town to do so. Regina had reluctantly agreed and they had decided to leave at 9am. Regina had arrived early so she could say goodbye to Henry before he went to school. Henry had hugged both his mothers before he left for school. The mayor was shocked to find the blonde nowhere near ready for the day. They were going to spend the night at a hotel and then drive back again tomorrow. Emma hadn't packed and was barely dressed by the time Henry left. The blonde had gone upstairs nearly forty minutes ago to get herself ready but there had been no sign that she was done.

Regina glanced at her watch to see that it was nearly half past nine before she made her way to the base of the stairs. "You must be packed by now," she called up.

"Five more minutes!"

Regina shook her head and placed a hand on the banister as she began to make her way up the stairs. "Why didn't you pack before this morning?" She paused at the top of the stairs and looked between the doors to try to figure out which one would lead to Emma's bedroom. She decided on the one that was slightly open. "You're nowhere near packed!" Regina exclaimed as she pushed open the door to see Emma's nearly empty overnight bag open on her bed.

"Uh," Emma stood in the middle of the room and looked at the brunette.

Regina huffed and put her hands on her hips. "I don't even see why we need to leave town for this. We have stores here that you can buy everything you need from."

"I thought it would be fun?" Emma tried with a shrug. The mayor glared daggers at her friend. "Okay fine." The blonde sighed and sat down on the bed to take the weight off her feet. "When I was younger I would always see this baby store and I would see the parents go in all happy. They'd look around in wonder and then lovingly pick out clothes and toys for their baby. I always dreamed that I would have someone to do that for me, but I never did. I just want to be able to do that for my baby." Her hands had wrapped themselves around the front of her bump as she looked up at Regina with watery eyes.

The mayor dropped her hands from her hips and sat next to her friend on the bed. She gently placed a hand on top of Emma's on her bump and tilted her head slightly. "I'm sorry I took that away from you, Emma, truly I am. We can go out of town to go shopping. We can buy as much as you want from the store. Well, as much as will fit in the car. We can do it all, I promise. You will get to experience this pregnancy properly."

"Thank you," Emma whispered and gave a small smile.

"Come on, let's get you packed and we'll get going." Regina stood up from the bed and walked over to the blonde's closet.

"So, I was thinking," Regina started carefully as they walked down the street. Emma was leading them to the store she wanted to go to but her memory was a little fuzzy and Regina felt like they were going round in circles. "Maybe we could go to an antenatal class this afternoon? I found a good one on the internet and I booked us in. I know you didn't want to go to one back in Storybrooke but I though while we're here it might be a good idea."

Emma turned around and frowned. She hadn't attended any while she was pregnant with Henry and she didn't intend to go to one now. She didn't need to be told how to breathe.

"Think about it," Regina urged. "No one here knows us. It's just the one class. I'll come with you and if you're not enjoying it we can go."

"Fine," Emma sighed and relented. "But you owe me." She pointed a finger in the brunette's direction before she turned and started walking again. It only took a few more minutes before Emma found the store that she was looking for. "Here!" She beamed widely and pushed open the door. The atmosphere was calm and neutral as they walked in. Both women looked around wide eyed and wandered over to the cot section.

"There's so many to choose from," Regina murmured as she let her fingertips graze along the tops of the cots.

"Too many." Emma frowned as she looked at all the different style of cots. Surely they were all the same? "This could take us a while."

A few hours later and they stopped at a café to grab some lunch. Emma had found them a table while Regina went to order some food. Emma had just finished sending a text to Henry when she heard someone talk to her. She looked up to see a guy smiling at her.

"Hi," she replied and then glanced away again.

"Are you eating alone?"

"No." Emma bit back her sigh. She wasn't in the mood to be hit on. She was tired and her feet hurt.

"What a shame, we could have shared lunch together? Maybe we could grab a coffee together some time? My name's Jackson."

"Uh." Emma looked up at him with a frown. She needed a good excuse to say no and she needed a good believable one.

Regina was paying for their lunch when she noticed the guy at their table. She turned around and watched as he chatted to Emma, a smile on his face the whole time. Regina knew he was obviously interested in Emma and the fact that he was still at the table must mean that Emma hadn't blown him off. Her heart dropped at the thought that Emma would eventually find someone else and Regina would be pushed to the side. The day would come when Emma no longer needed or wanted her to be around. The brunette wasn't sure she could handle that. She wanted so much for them all to be a family but she just couldn't bring herself to say the words to Emma. Regina was about to head to the bathroom when she noticed Emma shift uncomfortably in her chair and her eyes dart around the café looking for someone and their eyes locked. Emma was silently asking for help. Instantly Regina began to stride across the café before she pulled a chair close to Emma's and sat down. She draped an arm around the blonde's shoulders and placed a kiss on her cheek before she smiled at the guy.

"Hello, can we help you?"

Emma was shocked. She was expecting Regina to storm over and tell the guy where to go. She wasn't expecting her to kiss her! Granted, it was only on the cheek but to Emma it was still a kiss. The blonde was amazed at the warm feeling that surged through her body from that small kiss and she found herself suddenly wanting more from the other woman. It took all the willpower she had to not turn her head and kiss Regina on the lips. Emma blushed at the sudden thoughts she was having about the brunette pressed into her side. The guy mumbled an excuse before he turned and left the café. Regina let out a laugh and slowly moved her arm from around Emma's shoulder.

"You looked like you needed saving." Regina smiled and turned her head to look at her friend. She hadn't moved her chair away so their faces were very close together. Emma felt her breath catch in her throat as she looked into Regina's warm, brown eyes. Suddenly it was only the two of them in the room and Emma couldn't tear her gaze away. Slowly she began to lean forward and she noticed Regina doing the same.

"Here are your drinks," the waitress announced as she placed their glasses down on the table, breaking them from their moment. Both women cleared their throat and looked away. They mumbled a thank you as the waitress left. Regina reached for her drink and took a sip to calm the butterflies in her stomach. She had nearly kissed Emma in a café. What was she thinking? Clearly she hadn't been thinking. This was not the way to tell the blonde about her feelings.

"So, Zelena finally found an apartment," Regina told her friend to break the silence that had settled over them.

"Oh, that's good. The house must be quiet now." Neither of them had moved their chair away from the other and they were avoiding eye contact. "Bathroom trip, this baby is lying on my bladder." Emma pushed her chair back from the table and made her way to the bathroom.

"Damn it, Regina." The brunette cursed under her breath as she watched the blonde walk away. She couldn't tear her gaze away from the curvy figure. Even pregnant Emma was sexy as hell and she certainly made Regina hot under the collar.

Emma splashed some water onto her face in the bathroom to try and calm herself down. What had come over her out there? She was about to kiss Regina. If the waitress hadn't brought their drinks then she was sure they would have been locked in a heated embrace. What confused Emma even more was the look in Regina's eyes. It was a look of desire. Regina had wanted to kiss Emma, she could see that in the other's woman's eyes. But what did that mean? Emma let out a breath and pushed herself off the sink. She couldn't spend too long in the bathroom or Regina would think she was avoiding her. By the time she reached their table again their food had arrived and there was space put between their chairs. They fell into an easy conversation about Henry and the tension began to fade. By the time they had finished their lunch they had forgotten about their near kiss.

A/N: So, how much do you hate me for not letting them kiss?
