A/N: So, there was a mixture of hatred and non-hatred at the fact that they didn't kiss ;) I hope this chapter makes up for it!

"Do we have to go?" Emma whined as Regina dragged her along to the antenatal class. Emma had been protesting since they had finished lunch about not going. She had given birth once she didn't feel like she needed to attend a class to tell her how. She knew how, push like hell and try not to scream.

"Humour me." Regina pushed open a door and waited for Emma to walk in first. The blonde huffed but walked inside anyway. They followed the signs and walked into a big room with posters about babies and pregnancy placed around. There was yoga mats on the floor with pillows and they spotted some baby dolls on a table at the front.

"Hello!" A frizzy haired woman smiled at them. "I'm Francesca, you must be Regina and Emma?"

"Hello, yes, I hope it's okay that we drop in for just this class. We thought while we were in town." Regina shook hands with the woman.

"Of course!" Francesca smiled widely. "How far along are you my dear?"

"Uh, six months." Emma subtly took a small step behind Regina. This woman was far too cheery for her. She had obviously never given birth before.

"How wonderful! Well, take any mat that you like. We're just waiting for a few more couples and then we'll begin." As quick as she appeared, Francesca turned and made her way over to another couple. Emma chose a mat at the back of the class and Regina rolled her eyes at the blonde.

"Is this your first?" A young woman smiled at Emma from the next mat. "This is my first." She rubbed her stomach with both hands as her boyfriend wrapped his arms from behind her.

"No," Regina answered quickly. She could see the look on Emma's face and knew a sarcastic retort was on the tip of her tongue. "We already have a son."

"Oh, how lovely! Do you know what you're having yet? We're having a boy."

"No, it's going to be a surprise." Regina shook her head and wished the girl would shut up. She had been spending far too much time with Emma, she mused. She was finding the people here far too cheery.

"I just had to know." The girl gave a laugh and looked at her boyfriend. "I've bought everything in blue. We're so excited."

Emma was just about to open her mouth when Francesca clapped her hands at the front of the room to get everyone's attention. She instructed the couples to sit on the mat with the women in front of their partners. Emma and Regina shared a look before Emma sat in between Regina's legs and leaned back against her chest. Regina placed a hand either side of Emma's bump and felt the blonde rest her head against Regina's shoulder. Emma realised that she had never felt so safe before in someone's arms. She knew that Regina would always protect her, Henry and the baby. Of course they would have their disagreements but she knew that Regina would always be there for her no matter what, just like she would be there for Regina. Even in her mother's arms she never felt as safe as she did right now.

The blonde wasn't really paying attention to what Francesca was saying at the front of the room, instead she was enjoying the feel of Regina's heartbeat against her back. The brunette's cheek was resting against Emma's hair and her breath was tickling her cheek.

The class started off with different breathing techniques which Emma rolled her eyes at. She felt silly sat on the mat practicing her breathing but to her surprise Regina coaxed her and joined in as well. The brunette's actions instantly calmed Emma and she found it was much easier to do the breathing techniques when you had someone there to support you. After the breathing techniques Francesca taught the partners how to massage the women's backs during labour to help ease the pain.

Emma's eyes fluttered closed as she felt Regina's gentle hands on the small of her back. "Wow, she's right, that's amazing."

Regina couldn't help but laugh. "And you're not even in labour."

"No, I'm just growing another human inside of me." Emma tilted her head so she could see Regina over her shoulder. "Thank you, Regina, for being here for me. I really appreciate everything that you've done."

"That's what I'm here for." Regina gave a soft smile as she rubbed her thumbs in circles over Emma's lower back. She was relishing the fact that she got to touch Emma's body like this. She didn't want to stop.

"You've gone above and beyond, really. I can't thank you enough. I've never had someone care about me like you do." Emma could feel the tears that threatened to fall. She swallowed to keep them at bay and turned her head forward so that Regina wouldn't see her watery eyes. Regina watched her friend trying hard not to cry and stopped moving her hands. She hesitated before wrapping her arms around Emma from behind and giving her a hug.

"Thank you for not giving up on me, Emma," Regina whispered into the blonde's ear as she felt her relax into the hug. The brunette pulled back after a while and went back to giving Emma a massage.

The class was over before the pair knew it and Regina helped Emma to her feet. They were just about to leave when Francesca made her way over to them.

"I hope you enjoyed today and learnt something new."

"We did thanks." Regina smiled and glanced at Emma out of the corner of her eye.

"I hope you don't mind me saying but I have never met a couple as comfortable with each other as you two. You just have this bond that I've never seen before, it's magical to watch. Your children are very lucky to have you both as their parents. Good luck." Francesca beamed brightly before she turned to another couple to say goodbye. Emma and Regina shared another look before they left quietly. Both women were lost in their own thoughts as they made their way to their hotel to get ready for dinner.

Regina leaned back against the pillows on the bed in their hotel room as she waited for Emma to finish in the bathroom. She let her mind wander back over the events of the day. Before today she was sure that the blonde didn't feel the same as she did, but now Regina was starting to wonder. Emma had nearly kissed her in the café, she had happily leaned into her during the antenatal class and the teacher had believed that they were a couple. It had happened during Emma's first scan. Could everyone see it but the two of them? The mayor let out a sigh and ran a hand through her hair. Maybe Zelena was right and Regina needed to tell Emma about her feelings.

The bathroom door opened slightly and Emma popped her head out. "Uh, could you close your eyes?"

"Why?" Regina frowned.

"Because," Emma sighed, "my pyjama tops are too tight so I've been sleeping in just a bra." Her cheeks pinked slightly. "So, could you close your eyes?"

"Fine." Regina closed her eyes and placed a hand over them. She waited until she heard the bathroom door open more to open her eyes behind her fingers. There was a small slit between her fingers so she could see Emma making her way to the bed. She was indeed wearing a cotton sports like bra and a pair of short shorts. Regina fought her hardest to keep her lips from curling into a smile at the sight. All she wanted to do was pull the blonde into her arms and hold her tight.

"Okay, you can open them now." Emma was in bed and under the covers. She was on her side facing Regina when Regina dropped her hand.

"Why don't you just buy a bigger top?" Regina asked with a smirk on her lips.

"Because usually no one sees me when I'm in bed so I can sleep like this. Plus, I'd have to buy a really big top to fit me for another three months and then I wouldn't use it again." Emma gave a one shoulder shrug before she gave a yawn. "Thanks for coming with me today." She gave a smile before she pulled a pillow closer and closed her eyes. Regina switched the light off before she lay down to sleep as well.

xXx

Regina awoke during the night to find a chill over her body. She gave a small shiver before she realised that the covers were bunched at the bottom of the bed under Emma's feet. The blonde had obviously wriggled and pulled the covers off both of them. There was enough light coming in from the window for Regina to see Emma's sleeping form. Even six months pregnant Emma had a great body. It could have been from lack of light but Regina couldn't even see any stretch marks on the blonde's swollen stomach. Emma was completely perfect to Regina. A small sigh escaped Regina's lips as she watched her friend sleep. Emma was the first woman to ever capture Regina's attention. During her reign as the Evil Queen she had flirted with women but that had been to get something she wanted from them. She had never felt anything more for them. She had believed that Robin was her true love at the beginning but she realised that as much as they loved each other, they weren't the true loves that Tinkerbell had believed them to be. Regina was sure that her true love was sound asleep in front of her.

"Oh, Emma," she whispered. "How do I tell you how I feel? How do I know if you feel the same? I don't want to lose you. You make me feel complete." Regina reached a hand out and placed it against Emma's warm stomach and she felt a small flutter from the baby as they moved. Regina smiled instantly and she softly caressed the blonde's skin with her thumb. "Don't leave me, Emma, please," Regina whispered and closed her eyes as she willed herself off to sleep again.

When Emma began to stir the next morning she felt a weight resting against her hips. She blinked a few times to focus on her surroundings and found the weight to be Regina's arm draped over her hips. The brunette had shifted closer in her sleep so that their stomachs were touching and their faces were only inches apart. Emma smiled and studied her friend's face while she slept. Emma couldn't help but reach a finger out to trace along Regina's lips as she slept. A soft murmur escaped the brunette's lips and her eyes fluttered open.

"Morning," Emma whispered and felt her cheeks flush at being caught. Regina stared back at her friend in wonderment and blinked a couple of times. Emma's finger was still resting against her lips but neither woman moved away from their close embrace. In fact, Regina began to lean forward, her eyes never moving from Emma's. Emma felt her breath hitch in her throat and she closed the remaining gap between them to capture Regina's lips with her own. The brunette tightened her arms around the blonde's waist to pull her closer as their mouths moved against each other. This is what Regina had been waiting for, for so long and now she didn't want to let Emma go. Her thumb made gentle circles in the middle of the blonde's back as their lips parted to let their tongues explore. Emma's hand had found its way to Regina's side and was slowly moving upwards to cup a breast. A small gasp left Regina's lips at the sudden touch and she began to deepen the kiss between them. When the need for air became too much they pulled away and looked at each other until the baby shifted onto Emma's bladder and the urge to pee was too great to ignore anymore.

"I have to pee," Emma spoke softly as she shifted her body out of the bed. Halfway across the room she turned and looked back at Regina. "I just…what was…I mean…I need to pee," she began to ramble before she turned and made her way into the bathroom. Emma placed her head in her hands as she sat on the toilet. What had just happened between them?

"Shit," Regina murmured and rolled onto her back. That was not how she was expecting things to go. "I shouldn't have kissed her. Oh god, what have I done?" She ran her hands over her face in frustration. She had gone about the situation completely the wrong way. In fact, she may have just screwed things up instead and she had no idea how to make things better.

A/N: So, I did not intend for this kiss to happen. Emma and Regina really wanted it to happen. There was a lot of debate with them about if it would happen or not. They eventually won out but then wouldn't co-operate with me for a while so I apologise for any crappiness at the end here or in the upcoming chapter.
