"I still can't believe that we're actually going to have a baby." Regina said while she traced random patterns on his bare chest with her index finger. They were still in bed, lying safely oin each other's arms.
"What about the wedding?" She asked. "Do you want to do it after the baby is born or before."
He looked down at her and smiled. "Perhaps we could do it in a month or 2?"
"Really?"
"Too soon?"
She smiled at him. "No, it's perfect. Let's just hope I won't be showing so much by then."
Daniel laughed and kissed her forehead. "I must say that I can't wait to see you showing."
Regina gave a snort in response and they fell into a comfortably silence.
"I made an appointment with my OB/GYN, would you like to come with me?" Regina spoke up again after a couple of minutes.
"I would love to."
Regina smiled. "What time is it, by the way?"
"Almost 10. Would you like some breakfast?"
"Maybe some other kind of breakfast?" She said with a wicked smile. "The more pleasurable kind."
She rolled on top of him and gave him a bruising kiss.
"Mmm. I can agree with that." Daniel said, winking at her.
Regina let out a shriek when he quickly turned them over.
"I must admit that I'm kind off hungry." And he started sucking her pulse point.
...
"Madam mayor, the town meeting from 3 pm is postponed to 3:30 pm."
Regina groaned, this was going to be another long day and she was already exhausted and feeling nauseous. "Thank you Susan, please note that I don't want to be interrupted until then."
"Yes, Madam mayor." Her assistant said before she scurried out of her office.
Regina got up from behind her desk slowly and walked over to the couch. Maybe just a little nap. She pulled off her jacket and kicked off her heels. She groaned when she laid down, this couch certainly isn't the most comfortable. Regina laid her arm over her eyes to make the room dark and cleared her mind.
That's how she spend the next 2 hours, lying on her couch. Regina awoke by the sound of her cellphone. She groaned and stood up slowly, when she pulled her cellphone out of her purse she saw that Emma had texted her.
'Where are you? You're late. - Emma.'
Regina looked at the time. Shit, it's already 3:40!
She quickly stepped into her heels on pulled on her jacket, fortunately the conference room was close.
...
"Sorry I'm late."
She saw that Snow and Charming visibly flinched when she said it. It must've brought back some memories and she couldn't help but smile at that.
"It's alright Madam mayor." Emma said.
Once Regina was seated they continued.
"As I was saying," Snow started. "We need some funds for things like new schoolbooks, new art materials like paper and pencils."
Regina wasn't really listening, she was mostly concentrating on keeping her lunch inside of her stomach. "What, uh... yes I can agree with that."
Snow looked at her with a confused expression. "Are you alright, Regina? You look a little pale."
"What? Yes, I'm fi-." Regina stopped abruptly with talking and practically ran out of the conference room with her hand over her mouth, leaving behind a very confused group of people.
Emma quickly got up from her chair. "I'm gonna check on her for a moment."
Charming wanted to protest but Emma was already out of the room.
"Regina?" Emma asked when she stepped into the restroom. She walked over to the stall Regina was occupying and saw the former evil Queen squatting -of course Regina didn't want to get her knees dirty, even when she was heaving up her lunch- in front of the toilet, having a terribly case of morning sickness.
Emma took her hair and held it backwards. She kept rubbing Regina's back until the mayor had nothing left to throw up. Regina stood up slowly and flushed the toilet, she then closed the lit and seated herself on top of it.
"Why do they call it morning sickness when it lasts the whole damn day?" She asked while she used her left hand to wipe the cold sweat of her forehead.
Emma chuckled. "I remember asking that question a lot too."
Regina smiled a little. "I've always wanted to ask this, how was your pregnancy with Henry?"
"It went actually quite smooth, except that I had terrible morning sickness in the first 2 months. I seriously had my head in the toilet for like, most of the day."
"I'm sorry you had to go through that alone, Emma." She said with a soft voice.
Emma looked up to Regina and saw the guilt in her eyes. "It was not your fault, you're not the one who knocked me up."
"Yes but, if I hadn't casted the curse you would have never grown up in the foster system and you wouldn't have gotten pregnant at the age of 18." Regina said while her eyes filled with unshed tears.
"It wasn't your choice to put me in the wardrobe. And if you hadn't casted the curse Henry would never had been born."
"You're right, I don't think I would have found the strength to try and be good again if it wasn't for Henry."
There fell a comfortably silence between them until Emma started laughing. Regina
looked at her, confusion clearly evident on her face. "What?"
"Nothing, it's just... it's so typically us to have a really emotional conversation inside of a public restroom."
Regina looked at her for a moment longer and then bursted into laughter too.
After a couple of minutes they both fell silent again.
"So, are you ready to head back in?" Emma asked.
"Yes, I think so dear."
"Good."
