"Hmmm." I said to myself. There must really be something wrong with me then. The test showed negative.

I shrugged and through it into the trash, wondering if I should try another one. I needed someone to talk to about it, I needed to know what I should do. The only woman I could think of was Emma, she's the only mother I'd feel okay asking.

I went downstairs to grab my cell phone and dialed her number, it rang a few times before she picked up.

"Hello?" She said in a sleepy voice.

"Emma? Hey. Did I wake you up?"

She groaned a little and yawned, "Um, yeah. What'd you need?"

I stayed silent a few moments, feeling a little embarrassment that I was asking my son's birth mother about this. But I needed someone to ask, and Emma knew. "I...Emma, I think I may be pregnant."

"What?! That's great news, Regina! I'm so happy for-"

"But wait, I don't know yet. I feel as though I am, I've been sick a few days now. But I took a test and it said no."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, "Oookay? So what do you need?"

"I just needed someone to tell me how. I don't know if I just used it wrong or what. I just got the cheapest one I could find, I didn't know what to buy."

"Okay, if you still think you are, then go back to the store and buy the most expensive one. It may seem expensive, but it'll be accurate. Buy more than one, just to make sure too."

I said okay then we gave out goodbyes.

I went outside to where the boys were, "Robin, I forgot something at the store. I need to go back, okay?" I said, peeking out the door.

He nodded, "Alright. We'll be here!"

I smiled and waved at him, then grabbed the keys and went back to the store. I did as Emma told me and bought three of the most expensive ones, I wanted to be sure. I checked them out and went home once more, going upstairs and taking each one.

I went to my bedroom and paced around the floor. I was glad for this, but I was nervous. I hoped that I was, I wanted a child from my blood. Henry has always been my child, but I never experienced the "fun" of all of this.

The timer I had set on my phone went off and I walked back to the bathroom. I picked up the first test and squinted, then looked at the other ones. All three were positive. All three had little plus signs.

I put my hand up to my mouth and began to cry happy tears. All I did was stare at them, smiling the whole time. I put it down on the counter, then laid my hand on my stomach. I was a mother. I really was a mother.

I suddenly heard footsteps coming up the stairs, opening the bedroom door. I panicked and hid the tests in my jacket pocket. I didn't want to throw them away just yet, I had to take it in. I heard Robin's voice call my name, "Are you up here, dear?"

I opened the door quickly and smiled, "Right here." I said, walking from the bathroom.

He looked at me curiously and wrapped his arms around my waist, "You okay, dear? Your face is all red, have you been crying?"

I panicked again. I didn't want to tell him just yet. "I...I was sick again." I lied.

He tilted his head over and looked at me sympathetically, "I'm sorry you're getting sick. You should just go to the doctor."

"You know? I think I might call and ask if I can come in today. You've talked me into it." I said, patting him on the back gently.

He grinned at me, "Good. But why the sudden change?"

My expression changed to worry, "What? What change?"

He chuckled, "This morning I had to make you promise me you'd go on Monday, now you're willing to go today? I mean I'm not complaining..."

"Oh. That. I just figured I should get it over with..." My voice trailed off.

He nodded a little, his eyes never leaving mine, "Okay." He said. I could tell by his tone he didn't believe me, but he let it slide.

I smiled at him largely and patted him again, "I need to go start lunch." I said, beginning to walk around him.

He grabbed my arm lightly and turned me back to him, "Hey, Gina? You okay, for real?"

I nodded, "I'm fine, dear. Just need to go to the doctor, okay?"

He nodded suspiciously and let me go. I winked at him as I walked out the door.

I grabbed my phone and immediately texted Tink.

"Can you call and make me an appointment at the doctor? I'll give u the #"

I waited a few minutes for her reply, and then sent her the number. She texted back and told me to go in at 3:30, I replied with a thank you.

I went on with my day until it was time to leave. I told Robin I was going and that I'd be back later. I drove to the doctor's office and filled out my papers, then went into a room soon afterwards.

"Hello, Regina! What brings you here today?" Whale said as he came in, ignoring my papers apparently.

I tilted my head and rolled my eyes, "I'm pregnant." I said.

His eyes widened at me and his mouth fell open. He was speechless. "What?! Well congratulations, Regina."

I nodded my head, "Thanks." I said, rubbing my sweaty palms together.

We went through the typical things as we always do at the doctor's, then he told me to sit on the table and lay back. He pulled my shirt up to just below my breasts. He rubbed the cold gel on my bare stomach, then turned the monitor on that was beside my head. He grabbed the stick that was hanging from it, then placed it on the center of my stomach. I winced from the coldness of it, tightening my body up.

Dr. Whale looked over at me and smiled, "It's okay. Don't be nervous." He said reassuringly.

I grinned slightly at him and tried to relax. He kept moving the stick around on my stomach, then stopped.

He pointed at the screen, "See here, Regina?" He said, pointing at a tiny spot on the monitor.

I looked over at the screen and smiled at the little bean inside of me. Immediately, I felt tears want to come to my eyes. I didn't want to cry in front of Whale, so I held them back. Inside, I was overjoyed. Outside, I smiled.

"That's your little baby. Congratulations, Regina." Whale said.

I smiled at him.

"From the way it's growing, I'd say you're about six weeks along. How long have you been feeling nauseous?" He asked, sounding surprised.

"Only a few days. Why? Is that good?"

He nodded and raised his eyebrows, "Many women can't say that. You're lucky."

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders, "I am." I said, referring more to my wonderful, growing family.

We finished up, and he sent me home with pamphlets for the thirty-four weeks or so ahead. I was beaming the whole way home, and continued to beam when I walked inside. "I'm home!" I shouted, closing the door behind me.

"Momma!" Roland said, running up to me.

I wrapped him in my arms and ran my fingers lovingly through his dark, curly hair. "My goodness, why are you so sweaty?"

"We're playing, mom!" He said, as if I should've already known.

I chuckled at him, "Oh okay. Have fun then." I said, letting him go. He ran back outside to join his father and brother. I smiled and crossed my arms, admiring my little family.

I went to the kitchen, thinking of how I'd tell Robin. I wanted to surprise him in some way, but I didn't know how. I stirred the pasta around in the boiling water, staring into it and pondering. I smiled into it when I thought about Robin's face when I'm going to tell him, he'll be so…surprised. The thought made me chuckle, then I turned the stove off to drain the water from the pasta. I set the pot down on the edge of the sink and got distracted by looking out the window, watching them chase the ball around. The sight made me smile, seeing them all get together so well. It made me even happier to think in a few years, this new little boy or girl will be joining them.

I finished the dinner and put their plates on the table. I called them inside to eat, and they were at the table pretty quick.

"Did you have fun playing all day today?" I asked.

They all nodded.

Roland smiled, "A lot of fun!" He said, digging into his spaghetti.

I smiled and chuckled, "That's good, I'm glad."

Robin looked at me curiously, "How did the doctor go today, good I hope?"

I smiled and nodded, taking a bite of my food. I felt like bursting out with excitement, but I kept it all in. "It was okay."

"Okay? What was wrong?"

"Apparently I just had a little food poisoning or something. He said it'll go away soon."

Robin smiled, "Good."

We finished dinner, then I went into my study. I had thought of the perfect way to tell him. I went to the storage closet and got out a slick piece of paper. I wrote something on it, then went into the kitchen. My plan was complete, now I just needed to get him to fulfill it.

"Hey honey? Will you come here for a second, I forgot to put this spaghetti sauce on the shelf and don't want to get back on the chair." I said, lying partially and snickering.

"Yeah, hold on." He said. He walked into the kitchen and asked me where the jar was. I pointed to it sitting on the counter.

"New kind of sauce?" He asked, not being close enough to see what it said.

"Still the Prego brand. But they changed the label apparently, it says something kind of peculiar above it." I answered, trying to hold back my smile.

He walked closer to the counter and picked up the jar. He squinted his eyes to see what it was, then his expression changed. "Regina?"

I smiled, "What is it, Robin?"

"The words above it say, 'I am'. Regina, are you…" His words trailed off, tears welled up in his eyes.

I nodded my head excitedly, "Yes Robin! Yes! We're going to have a baby!" I exclaimed.

His mouth fell open, partially smiling, "Are you serious?"

I nodded again.

"Regina! That's wonderful news!" He exclaimed. He ran over and picked me up off of my feet, spinning us around. "I'm so happy. I can't even believe it!" He exclaimed once more.

After he sat me down, I looked into his eyes with my teary ones, "Are you really happy, Robin? Are you happy that our family is growing? I know this wasn't quite planned but-"

He stopped me with a passionate kiss on the lips. One of the nicer ways to tell a person to shut up, if you ask me. "Regina! Of course I'm happy. I don't care if it was planned, it doesn't matter. It would've been planned eventually anyway, right?"

I nodded and smiled up at him.

"See? We just got ahead of ourselves." He stated giddily.

I laughed at that statement, "I guess we did." I said before kissing him again on the lips. I pulled away from him and stared into his joy-filled eyes, "I love you." I whispered.

He smiled, "I love you, too."

Another week had gone by. No one knew except Robin, Emma, and Tink. And Dr. Whale, of course. Today was the day we were going to tell Roland and Henry. We were telling them both at the same time, hoping to get a good reaction from the duo.

"Ready?" Robin asked, grabbing the keys.

I nodded, "I feel like we're bribing them."

"What do you mean?"

"We're taking them for ice cream to tell them that they're going to be big brothers." I paused and chuckled, "Doesn't that sound a little bribe-ish to you?" I asked, laughing.

He shrugged his shoulders and smirked, "I guess so…a little." He said, chuckling as well.

I laughed, "Oh well. I guess we're just going to be the parents who bribe their children, aren't we?" I asked with a wink.

He nodded, "I guess so."

We gathered the boys and went to the ice cream shop. We ordered them both sundaes with everything on it.

"An everything Sunday? Really mom?" Henry asked, taking a bite into it. "What is it this time?" He asked teasingly.

I smiled and Robin and I looked at each other. Roland was happily tearing through his sundae, he already had ice cream all over his face. I chuckled at him, resulting in Henry looking over at his little brother. "Roland…here." He said, handing him a napkin.

I waited until his face was clean, then Robin and I looked at each other again. "Boys…" I started, "How would you feel if…if we maybe grew our family?"

Roland's face immediately brightened, "Like planting a seed?!" He asked excitedly.

Robin laughed, "Well…sort of. Yes, actually." He said, thinking differently than Roland currently was. He laughed again and stuck to the subject, "More like…you and Henry become big brothers." He explained to his young, curious son.

Henry looked at me and smiled, his mouth was hanging wide open. "What?! Mom…really?!"

I nodded, "Yes, Henry." I said, smiling.

"I'm confused!" Roland complained.

Robin got up from his seat and took Roland in his arms, sitting him back down on his lap. He snuggled between us and looked up at Robin, "What are you talking about?!" He asked curiously, wondering why he didn't understand.

Robin smiled, "Roland, son, your mommy, Regina, she has a baby growing in her belly." He said softly, never losing his gentle smile.

Roland's face brightened again, "Ohhh…" He said. He then directed his attention to me. He poked his finger gently on my belly, "It's in…there?" He asked naively.

I laughed, "Yes, dear. I have a baby growing inside of there. He or she is going to be in there for a while." I explained.

Roland's mouth dropped, "How'd it get in there?!"

I felt my face immediately get red. I looked over at Robin who was currently trying not to fall out of his seat from laughing. "Robin? Would you like to help here?" I whispered over Roland's head.

He tried to gather himself, "Yes…yes dear." He whispered back. "Roland, that's what happens when two people love each other…a lot." He said calmly, though you could tell he was still trying not to laugh.

"Oh. Cool." He replied, his wheels were turning in his head.

I looked over at Henry across the table, he rolled his eyes and had a wide smile strapped across his face. "Right." He said in a sarcastic face.

"Henry!" I said, playfully shocked, "You know, when two people kiss…" I said, teasing him and acting like he didn't know.

He rolled his eyes again, "Yep…" He said, taking another bite of his sundae.

I shook my head, "You grew up too fast." I said, stroking the back of his hand.

He smiled, "I'm not grown up yet." He said. He put his spoon up to his face, it had chocolate all over the end of it. He wiped it on the top of his lips, "Now…now that I have a mustache, I'm grown up." He said, laughing.

I rolled my eyes, "Oh, never mind! I take my statement back." I said, laughing.

Roland finally came back into the conversation after being lost in thought. "What is it going to be? Is it going to be like a baby bird?" He asked curiously.

We both laughed, "No honey, it's going to be a baby. A real baby." I said.

"Ohh. I was hoping for a bird." He replied.
