Hey guys! First of all, I want to apologize for the grammar mistakes in the last chapter. I don't see them for some reason until I read it on my phone! So yeah. There may be some in this too, but I've read over it like three times so hopefully not! Hahaha.

I also want to apologize for the somewhat short chapter. It's still 2,250 words, but it's short :( I had to leave off here, though, because I'm moving on to a different piece of the story that wouldn't fit in well with this chapter. But I'll try to get the next chapter done, and hopefully it'll be longer! :)

To my reviewers:

Guest: He really wants a bird apparently...

merylmoore: Lol! Oh the questions little kids ask... :)

Thank you to my reviewers!

Enjoy!

G.

A few more weeks had gone by. The morning sickness faded away, the bump started to grow. I was beginning to get more and more excited with each day that passed by, and so was Robin. Today, at fifteen weeks, we're finding out the gender.

"Dear?" Robin called out from behind me in bed.

"Yes, my love?"

He wrapped his arm around my swollen stomach and gently rubbed it with an open palm, "Good, you're awake." He said.

I turned over to look at him, his hand never left my stomach. I smiled at his sleepy face, "I am." I replied.

He smiled back at me, and snuggled as close to me as he could get, "I love you." He whispered through a smile.

I leaned forward and wiggled my nose against his, "I love you too, sweetheart." I said softly. I gently placed my lips onto his, taking in all of the love he was putting off.

"Today is when we find out, isn't it?" He asked, rubbing my belly slightly.

I nodded and grinned, "I can't wait." I whispered to him.

"Me either." He replied. "What do you think it is?"

"I don't really know. Everyone says they think it's a boy, but I think it's a girl. What do you say?"

"I say it's a boy." He smiled and tickled my stomach, resulting in me buckling my body in half and laughing.

"Jerk…" I teased.

He made a shocked expression, "Am not." He whined.

I smiled, "Am too." I replied.

He winked, "Maybe, but you still love me."

I nodded and smiled again, "Of course." I finished off with a long, slow kiss. His fingers ran softly through my hair, and mine ran through his.

All of the extra hormones I had lately made me…a little more desiring. I constantly felt needy, but Robin was always glad to help. Obviously.

Our tongues danced on each other's, it was like we explored something new each time. I pulled away from him, grabbing his bottom lip gently in my teeth. I took a deep breath and looked into his eyes, "Is it too early in the day, or too late in the morning?" I asked in a low tone.

He raised a brow confusedly at me, "What are you…" His voice trailed off.

I winked at him, that's all I needed to say, and he got the clue. He smirked and looked over me at the clock on the nightstand, "I wish, but your doctor's appointment is in an hour. Let's say we did that for twenty minutes, it takes twenty minutes to get there, and that means we would only have about ten minutes to get ready to leave." He explained.

I made a pouty face, with big, puppy dog eyes and cuddled in to him closer, slightly digging my nails into his bare back.

About twenty minutes or so later, we were rushing to get dressed. My hair was in a sweated mess, and so was Robin's. We quickly got our clothes on, he wore a beanie and I wore my hair up for the first time in a long time.

"Race you." Robin taunted.

I looked at him as if he had gone insane, "You're telling a fifteen week pregnant woman to race you, isn't that a little unfair?" I joked.

He shrugged, "Maybe."

We were racing each other down the stairs at 10:45, only fifteen minutes until we had to be there. Laughing the whole way down, because I couldn't run like I normally could. I could still run, but it had already turned into a little bit of a waddle.

"Hey, running duck, are you coming?" He said as he got to the front door.

I rolled my eyes, "I can turn you into a running duck with a flick of my hand." I warned playfully.

He pursed his lips, "Now that would be a story for the child, wouldn't it? 'Little one, your father was simply being competitive and I turned him into a duck…'" He mocked.

I laughed and pushed his shoulder, "We're going to be late, Donald Duck."

"How are you feeling today, Regina?" Dr. Whale asked me as I laid back on the table.

I shrugged my shoulders, "Fine I guess. Tired feeling, of course." I said.

He nodded, "That's good, that means you're right on track." He said with a cheesy smile.

He finished preparing his things, then put his gloves on and turned the monitor next to my head on. He spread the gel all over my stomach, then grabbed the wand and placed one end on me.

I looked over at the screen as the image began to appear, then I looked over at Robin with a big smile. He gave me a thumbs up.

"See this? This is your baby right here." Whale said, pointing to the screen. I looked at the baby, trying to see if I could tell the gender, but no luck.

"Is it a boy?" Robin asked excitedly.

Whale laughed, "Hold on, I have to get it positioned to see..."

We both waited impatiently, waiting to find out.

Whale stopped moving the wand and squinted closer to the screen, "It looks like it's a girl!" He said.

I smiled, "A girl! I knew it."

Robin looked over at me and smiled as well, it looked as though he was about to cry, "A little girl..." He whispered.

I nodded and held back tears of my own, "She's perfect already." I said softly, a large smile covering my face.

Dr. Whale finished measuring her and everything, then we were allowed to leave.

"What's on the agenda for the day, my queen?" Robin asked as we walked down the side of the street.

I swung his hand back and forth we each step, looking down at the ground. "I don't know. We have a while before we go to pick Henry and Roland up from their sleepover...any suggestions?"

He shrugged his shoulders, "Lunch at Granny's?" He asked.

I nodded, "Great idea."

We walked to Granny's diner and got a table.

Red walked up to our table, "Hey guys! What can I get for you today?"

I leaned back into my seat and put one hand on my stomach while I waited for Robin to order.

Red then looked back at me, "And what can-" She stopped. Her eyes suddenly dropped to my midsection.

"Red?" I asked.

"Regina! Are you..."

I rolled my eyes, "I'm surprised you haven't heard yet. Apparently Grumpy hasn't heard, otherwise the whole world would know by now." I said, a little irritated.

"I'm so sorry I didn't know..." She paused and smiled, "That's great news." She said softly.

I gradually smiled just a little, "We're both happy." I replied.

She smiled and took my order.

"I would like a burger with mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, lettuce, and onion." I said.

Red stopped writing and looked up at me after I said pickles, "Ew?" She said, raising her brows.

I shrugged, "So?"

She shook her head, "You really ARE pregnant." She silently chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and huffed. Robin was trying to hold in a laugh from across the table, I shot him a glare and he stopped.

Our food came soon after, we ate and talked, then started walking back home.

Robin's fingers were entwined with mine as he gently swung our hands back and forth, "How are we going to tell the boys?" He asked out of the blue.

I looked at him confusedly, "What do you mean? We already told the boys?" I paused and looked down at my stomach, "Besides, I think they'd know by now. Or they'd think I'm just eating too much." I chuckled and looked back at him.

He rolled his eyes and smiled, "No, no. I mean tell them what it is."

I made an "oh" shape with my mouth and looked back down at the ground. A smile suddenly came across my face and I let out a giggle.

"What is it?" He asked.

I looked up at him still smiling, "I think Roland will be a little disappointed when he finds out it really isn't a bird."

He laughed and shook his head, "Maybe. The boy has an imagination, I do have to say that."

I stopped walking and turned to him, "And he has a great father." I said, holding both of his hands now.

He smiled, "And a great mother." He added, finishing his sentence with a kiss on my lips.

I smiled through the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hands wrapped around my slowly fading waistline. Suddenly, I quickly pulled away from the kiss and looked down at my stomach.

"What's wrong, dear?" He asked worriedly.

I smiled and let out a breath, like a small laugh, "She's moving…I think…"

"You think?" He raised his eyebrow.

"It's either that or gas. But I'm going with it's her moving."

He laughed loudly at that, "Are you sure you were once a queen?"

I furrowed my brows, "Yes? You should know, you stole from me…" I teased.

"I mean because of your flatulence reference there, dear."

I laughed, "I'm not queen Regina with you, I'm just Regina Locksley." I said, giving him a quick peck on the lips.

He smiled again and looked down at my belly, "I take it she's just barely moving, then?"

I nodded, still looking down, "Yes, like little butterflies in my stomach."

He looked up at me with a fake surprised face, "Just one butterfly…" He teased.

I smiled, "Right."

He laughed and held each side of my stomach, reaching down to plant a kiss on top of it, "I love you." He whispered to it.

This was the first time he'd kissed my stomach, it sent a whole wave of warmth through me. Including to my eyes, which ended up being small tears. Hormones. Stupid hormones.

He looked back up at me and stood up straight, "I love you, too, my queen."

I smiled, "I love you too, my thief."

"Thief? Still?"

"You've stolen my heart."

A few days had gone by since we found out the gender. We hadn't told the boys yet, we were waiting for the right opportunity, and today seemed like the right day. We had decided to take them out for ice cream again, and they immediately knew something was up when we ordered them everything sundaes again.

"Alright mom and dad, what's going on?" Henry asked bluntly, raising his eyebrows like I do when I'm being sarcastic.

I pursed my lips and tilted my head over to one side, "When did you get so sassy?"

Robin turned his head in a quick movement and gave me a bewildered look, "What? When did he, the son of the queen of sass, get so sassy? Regina…come on…" He smirked.

I playfully pushed his shoulder over, "Whatever." I huffed. "Anyway," I said, directing my attention back to the two boys, "We've come to tell you some news."

"It is a bird?!" Roland asked excitedly.

Robin and I both laughed and shook our heads, "No, it isn't. Sorry…" I said softly.

"Different news." Robin stated.

Henry raised his brow and smirked, "As in?"

"As in," I tilted my head down, "As in what exactly this little baby is going to be." I replied.

Smiles strapped across both of their faces.

I looked at Robin, "But I don't know, they don't seem very excited? Maybe we shouldn't tell them?" I said sarcastically.

"No no no! We want to know!" Roland shouted.

I laughed and looked at them inquisitively, "Are you sure? You just don't seem excited…"

"WE'RE EXCITED! Now tell us…please, please, please!" Henry said, on the edge of his seat.

We both laughed again, "Maybe they are excited enough." Robin said.

I nodded, "I guess so." I paused and took a bite of my giant sundae, "We went to the doctor the other day, as you know." I stated, taking another bite.

Roland and Henry inched forward, "And?" Henry asked.

"And…he said the gender." I replied.

"And?" He asked again.

"And…you're going to have a little sister." I said, beaming.

They looked at each other with huge smiles, "A little sister!" Roland said.

Henry high-fived Roland, "We're gonna have a little sister." He said.

I nodded, "You are."

"In a few months, though." Robin added when he saw how excited Roland was.

"Awww." Roland said, a little disappointed.

"You have to wait for it, sweetie. They have to stay in there and get ready to see the world!" I said, trying to cheer him back up.

He still looked pretty disappointed.

I looked around slyly to see if anyone was watching us. I turned back to Roland and snapped my fingers, "See this?" I said, holding up the photographs from the sonogram taken today, "Here's your baby sister. Now, be careful with these okay? We don't want to lose them."

He took them and looked at them curiously, "Are you sure she isn't a bird?" He asked, furrowing in his brows.

I laughed and shook my head, "Definitely not."

"She doesn't look like a baby…"

"She won't for a little while still. That's why she has to stay in there, you see." I explained.

He nodded his head slowly, then handed the pictures back, "Just let me know when she's out." He said.

Henry, Robin, and I all laughed, "I will." I said sarcastically.

So what'd you think? It was mostly just a cute, fluffy chapter, but hey we need those too! Lol. Especially for what I'm preparing for...hehehe.

PLEASE REVIEW! I write based on your reviews, that means if I don't get enough of them, i don't write. Okay? Okay :)

Much love,
