Authors note: You didn't see this one coming, did you? ;)
"Are you sure you want to go back to work already, Regina?" Daniel asked concerned while he watched her getting dressed.
After 2 days of sitting home, Regina really yearned to get back to the office. "Yes, Daniel. I'm sure." She smiled at him, "I appreciate the concern, though."
She walked over to the bed and gave Daniel a soft kiss. "I'll be back at 5."
"Alright, fine. I'll find some way to entertain myself, probably end up at the stables."
Regina chuckled. "I love you."
"I love you too."
And Regina was out of the door.
...
Regina was seated at her desk with her hands in her hairline. She was breathing deeply in and out, trying to keep the nausea at bay. She flinched in surprise when she heard her assistant talking over the intercom.
"Madam mayor, Sherrif Swan is here to see you about the budget."
"Thank you Susan, please let her through." Regina said, trying to keep her voice steady.
"Regina." The blonde said when she had closed the door behind her.
"Emma." Regina said while she eyed the bearclaw in Emma's hand.
Emma saw Regina staring at her bearclaw. "Sorry, I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Oh, it's fine, dear."
Emma seated herself down on one of the chairs placed by Regina's desk. "Henry told me you and Daniel are engaged, congratulations." She said with a smile.
Regina smiled back "yes, thank you."
"He also told me that you were sick." Emma's brows furrowed in concern.
"Yes, I think I might have caught some sort of stomach bug. I'm fine now though."
Emma's expression didn't change. "Are you sure about that? You're very pale."
"Y-yes, could you please get rid of the food." Regina said, breathing deeply again when she felt the bile rise in her throat.
"Sure."
Emma quickly folded the bearclaw in the napkin and put it in the pocket of her coat.
"Thank you." Regina said, feeling better now that the food was no longer in sight. "I don't know what it is, just the thought of food alone makes me nauseous."
"Maybe your pregnant." Emma blurted out.
Regina looked at her in shock. Pregnant... She grabbed her purse and pulled out her agenda, starting to count from the last time she had had her period.
Emma stared at Regina who was frantically counting. "Regina, I was just joking."
Regina looked up in shock. "I'm late."
"What?!"
"I'm late."
"No I heard you the first time. I just meant, what?!"
Regina felt tears fill her eyes as she stared in wonder at her flat stomach. "What if I'm pregnant?"
Emma smiled, "there's only one way to find out. We're buying a test."
Regina frowned her brows. "Now? I'm at work."
"Yes now! This is much more important than some stupid budget."
Regina smiled. "Alright."
She grabbed her coat and purse and followed Emma out of her office.
...
"I have absolutely no idea which one to choose." Regina said while looking at the tons of different pregnancy tests.
Emma took one of the shelves. "Maybe this one? It says that it will even tell you how far along you are."
"Okay, let's take that one then and that one." She picked another one of the shelf. "Just to be sure."
They got over to the counter. The man behind the counter looked at the pregnancy test and then up to Regina.
"I'll trust you keep this discreet, dwarf." She said in a warning voice.
He quickly looked down, fear evident in his eyes. "Of.. of course, Your M-Majesty."
"Good." Regina handed him the cash and took the tests.
"Did you really have to threaten him, Regina?" Emma asked with a sigh once they were outside again.
"Yes. I wouldn't want any rumors about me being pregnant spreading across the town before I even have the chance to tell Daniel." Regina said before she got in her car.
"What are you doing? You have your own car." Regina said when Emma got into the passenger seat next to her.
"I'll pick it up later. I'm coming with you."
"Why?"
"Oh, you know, call it moral support."
"That's preposturous! I don't need moral support."
Emma looked up to her. "Believe me, you do. Whatever is going to be the outcome, you'll need some girly support. You know, like crying in happiness."
Regina snorted. "Do I really seem like the type that would cry in happiness."
"No, so we'll skip that part, good. I'm not really the crying type either."
Regina let out a nervous breath. "Let's just do this. We can do it at my house."
"Fine with me."
...
"How long do we have to wait?" Regina asked while she washed her hands.
"The box says 3 minutes."
"Alright." Regina went to sit down on the edge of the tub. After a minute she stood up and started pacing. "How long?"
Emma smiled. "2 minutes. It's alright to be nervous Regina."
"I'm not nervous!" She snapped back, immediately regretting in by the hurt look on Emma's face.
"Sorry, Emma. I didn't mean it. I might be a little nervous."
"It's alright, I understand. 1 minute to go."
"It's taking so long." Regina whined a little. "And I know what long is, I've lived in a town where time stood still for 28 years."
Emma laughed. "The waiting is over, Your Majesty."
Regina walked over to the 2 tests and took a deep breath. She took the tests and turned them around.
"And?" Emma asked, walking over to Regina who had actually stopped breathing.
Regina turned around slowly, a soft smile on her lips and her left hand on her still flat stomach. "I'm pregnant."
Emma smiled a bright smile. "Congratulations, Regina! I'm so happy for you, you deserve some happiness."
Regina was so in shock that she didn't even register it when Emma pulled her into a hug.
Pregnant...
Regina felt some tears escape her eyes and roll down her cheeks.
Emma let Regina out of the embrace and looked up at the clock. "Shit it's already 2."
Regina looked up at her en wiped the tears from her cheeks. "That's alright, dear. I think I need to go to the stables anyway."
Emma smiled at her and then left the bathroom.
...
"Daniel!" Regina screamed at her fiancé who was riding his horse around in the field.
Daniel looked up when he heard the sound off his name and saw Regina standing by the stables. He steered the reigns and galloped her way. He jumped off the horse when he was closer to her.
"Daniel." Regina said once again when she embraced her fiancé.
"Regina. Aren't you suppose to be in work?" He asked confused but with a smile on his face.
"Yes, but I really needed to tell you something." She answered with a bright smile.
"What is it?"
She took his left hand and put in on her stomach. "We're going to have a baby." She said with a teary smile.
"Daniels first expression was one of shock but then he smiled brightly. "Really?"
Regina nodded. "Really."
Daniel pulled her into his arms and spinned her around.
"Daniel!" Regina shrieked in surprise.
He out her down again. "I'm going to be a father!" He screamed to no one in particular.
He pulled Regina into him once again and kissed her passionately.
"We're going to have a child." He whispered.
