Chapter 18
Regina looked at her reflection in the mirror seven months she had been going through this she read all the books and articles saying that pregnancy was a beautiful experience and how you would feel a bond to your unborn child who ever wrote those things had to be high sure she loved her babies with all of her being and she couldn't wait to meet them but pregnancy was anything but a beautiful experience she was bloated and she retained water in the oddest places she was gassy and the weight gain...she had to buy a whole new wardrobe she knew she was complaining a lot more lately but did she care? No you want to know why? Cause she earned that right here she was seven months pregnant wider than all of Texas and she had two more months to go if she carried the babies to term she was short with everyone lately even Robin scratch that especially Robin she heard him walk in the room she hurried and put her robe on
"Hey" he smiled "since when did you become so shy?"
"Since my weight quadrupled its getting harder and harder for me to get out of bed let alone go to work I'll just be glad when this is over and I can see my babies"
"Sweetheart I don't understand why you won't just go on maternity leave? They already offered and its paid leave"
"Babe its not about the money it never was I like my job I'm good at my job and I want to work until the end"
"Just promise me you'll take it easy?"
"I promise my love" she caressed his cheek "quit being such a worry wart " she gives him a peck on the lips but her lips hover over his for a moment " I've missed this" she says then buried her face in the crook of his neck
"What" he says rubbing her lower back
"This...us being close to you I've just been so...I don't know uncomfortable lately I don't feel desirable I mean look at me I'm huge I can't even give a proper blow job anymore"
He laughs "well at least you try"
"I can't wait to have these babies then you and me mister...we're having a sexathon "
" Honey you sound like you're in heat"
"I am! It use to be so easy I was so flexible! "
"Oh yes I very much remember" he says with a smirk
"Now I can barely do missionary" she pouts "I'm so frustrated"
"Lay down..." Robin says
"What why?"
"We're about to fix your little problem"
"Baby I can't I have to get ready for work"
"Well I guess your going to have to show up late then" he picks her up and she yelps
"Robin are you serious!?" He throws her on the bed "hey be gentle!" He climbs on top of her and begins leaving a trail of soft kisses around her neck she starts to giggle "whatever you're about to do please don't scar my children"
"You're beautiful Regina" he stops and looks up at her "please let me see you"
"Rob-" he shuts her up with a kiss and he begins to caress her face
"I love you Regina and I think I love you even more because you are carrying a part of me inside of you" he starts toying with the strap of her robe "your beautiful my love you have nothing to be ashamed of let go Regina ...its me"
A tear fell down her cheek falling into her hair Robin truly loved her he wasn't ashamed of how fat she got or how far her skin stretched he fell in love with her soul she breathed deeply and sighed "okay" she said in a quite whisper and watched as Robin untied her robe and slowly opened it and took in her naked body she could feel her face getting hot as she felt his eyes roam over her body just as she started to become overwhelmed with embarrassment she felt him press kisses against her swollen stomach
"You're my favorite masterpiece you know that I love every inch" he kisses her hip " every angle of you" he begins placing kisses down her hips getting closer and closer to her center he stops hover over her folds "aw and we are at my most favorite body part I just can't get enough of "
"Honey?" She grabbed his face and looked at him genuinely "I love that you love to worship me and all but I can't be late for worrrrk" she tossed her head back in ecstasy
"Then I guess we better get moving" he said and made good on his promise
Regina hurried into work as fast as her four inch heels and swollen stomach would allow her "I know I know I'm late!" She yelled at her secretary April as she ran into her office slamming her purse on the table readying herself for her work load April followed close behind her "so what's on are agenda today hmm?"
"Okay well at 12 you have a meeting with the firm partners I guess one of them is stepping down and someone will need to be made partner"
"There's an opening for partner!?" She sat up as quick as she could
"Mhm" April smiled
"April? Do you know any gossip!?"
"Well...people have been hearing some chatter about the partners considering certain people "
"Really? Who?"
"Well Tom down the hall"
"Toms a dick...next?"
"And you...but some people don't think you can handle it with the babies coming"
"Well lets prove them then okay what else is on the agenda?" Regina said slipping her glasses on her face
"Right 2:30 you have a deposition and 4:00 you have a meeting with Daniel Wells to wrap up the paperwork on his divorce"
"Great is his wife going to be in attendance this time?"
"Yes I do believe so"
"Great hopefully this will all be over with today"
"And Robin called to remind you that he has to work later today so he'll need you to go pick up Roland"
"School or home?"
"Home you know you're not allowed at the school for the rest of the year " April shook her head and smiled
"Eh some people are just so touchy" Regina said and waved her hand "okay then is that all?"
"Yep that's should do it"
"Alright thank you April"
"No problem " April smiled and spun on her heels and headed out the door to continue answering phones
As the meeting for the firm came to a close Regina thought it would be a good idea to talk to the firm heads to see where their heads were
" , " Regina nodded friendly greeting them in a professional manner
"Awe Regina look at you you're about to pop" said with a smile
"Yes well not quite still have a little while to go what I came over here to ask was which direction are you two stirring in for partner?"
Gold and Davis share a chuckle " Regina we knew you'd be interested " his smile started to slip away from his face " however we're not sure if you're the right fit"
Regina looked at them surprised "and...may I ask why?"
"Well dearie you see you're about to start a family you're time is not your own anymore we need someone that can spend late nights at the office someone who's extremely dedicated" spoke up
"And that's not me? Excuse me gentelmen but I am damn good at what I do I haven't let this pregnancy slow me one bit I haven't even took maternity leave regardless of what my doctor and boyfriend have been telling me I have been here and that's not going to change you want my full attention you have it"
"Well that was a very nice speech Regina I guess your performance the next couple of weeks well help us make our decision lovely speaking with you" Mr. Davis said as he and Gold went on their way
The nerve of them! Regina thought to herself as she stormed down the hallway towards the conference room where Daniel awaited for her. Questioning her dedication she loved her children but she had goals she couldn't wait for them to come into the world but as much as she was excited that still wasn't enough before she had them, Roland and Robin all she had was her job sure it didn't keep her warm at night but she excelled there sometimes she even surprised herself she had to think she had to get out and think but first she had to handle Daniel. She walked into the conference to find him waiting
"Regina Hi" he smiled at her she quickly dismissed him with a glare "oh no I know that stare far to well...what did I do?"
"What?" She hissed out
"You use to glare at me like that all the time"
"Who says you did anything" she rolled her eyes and folded her shoulders
"Okay and now you're pouting what's wrong"
"Nothing is the matter okay"
"Regina I know you come on talk to me"
"What? How can you say that? You don't know me"
"Oh but I do you're forgetting that we were in a relationship for three years"
"Yeah which ended so well"
"Regina...you look like you need some air come on let's go for a walk"
"What!? We're finalizing your divorce today I can't go for a walk! "
"Yes yes you can my divorce can be finalized tomorrow you look like you could use a change of scenery"
"Yeah well how do you know what I need"
"Let's call it a hunch come on live a little"
She stated at him for a long time then sighed "fine but we can't be gone long I have to pick up my step son at five I have to tell April to cancel the meeting"
"Okay so you got me out here, you got me to cancel your meeting there are you proud of yourself do you feel accomplished?" Regina said as they ate a pretzel walking through the park
"I also bought you a pretzel" he smiled getting a little chuckle out of her "there we go we're making progress so are you gonna tell me what the hell was bugging you today?" They take a seat on the park bench
"God...today the partners had a meeting today telling us that one of the partners are stepping down and they'll be look for someone to feel their spot so when I approached them about considering me they basically said I'd have my hands full with the babies coming and that I wouldn't give my undivided attention and that I'd have to prove my self"
"They didn't say they wouldn't consider you Regina you'd just have to work for it"
"Is that what you heard out of that? They are not going to consider a woman with two kids over a man with none"
"Well then you've already lost "
"What? How could you say that"
"Me? Regina how can you sit there and give away that position with out fighting for it if you lose at least you know you've tried your best Regina I've heard great things about you over the years and I guarantee that if this firm won't appreciate what a gem they have then I bet you there are plenty of others who will Regina New York is a big place you'll get there" he grabs both her hands and looks at her with endearment
"You really think so?"
"Of course I do and the Regina I used to know thinks so as well" she gives him a hug and feels him kiss her cheek
"Why weren't you this comforting when we were together?" They shared a laugh
"I guess time changed me"
"It's nice to know I've got a friend through all of this"
"I'll always be your friend Regina"
She pulled away and looked at her phone "shit! It's 5:30! Robin is going to be pissed I'm late to pick up Roland I have to go! "
"Well come on I'll drop you back off at the office"
"Thank you again Daniel I appreciate it"
"No problem now come on we can't make you even later"
He saw them together Regina hasn't been answering her phone all morning and when he finally finds her he sees her sitting in the park hand and hand with a man who broke her heart he was furious he could still see him kissing her cheek as if he had not a care in the world how could she do this to him she's pregnant with their children he loved her with all of his soul and she could just throw away what they have well he'd show her he wouldn't be the only hurting
He walked up to Marian's house and banged on the door she answers furious
"Robin I dont mind your little girlfriend coming to get our son! But she needs to be on tim-" he shuts her up with a kiss pinning her against the door she throws her hands around his neck and he hoists her into the air and lays her own the couch and they start to kiss deeper and deeper until Marian breaks off the kiss "Robin wait...wait" they're breathing heavily " get up please" he slowly gets off of her and they're sitting side by side "now what's this all about?"
"Regina...I think she's cheating on me"
"And you know this because?"
"I saw her in the park holding hands with another man"
"And your sure they are romantically involved?"
"No...I don't know but they were once upon a time"
"And you thought instead of asking her if she's cheating on you you thought it would be a great idea to come here and cheat on her back with your ex wife?"
"It does sound rather silly when you put it like that"
"Robin I may not know Regina that well but she doesn't seem like the kind of person to throw everything you guys built together I mean hell she got banned from Roland's school! She loves our son because she loves you do me a favor Rolands going to stay here tonight go home and work things out with your lady I'm sure its a huge misunderstanding your a great guy Robin don't do anything to make her think otherwise"
"Thank you Marian"
Her heart felt like it was about to fall out of her chest she saw them! She saw them together when she went to go get Roland how, why would he do this to her! She gave him everything! She gave him her heart willingly and blindly and he just shitted on everything they had she sat there in the apartment in the dark waiting for him to come home so her heart can break all over again she heard the key turn in the lock and he walked inside
"Regina? Why are you sitting in the dark?" He said turning on the light
"Funny...I just thought I'd try sitting in the dark cause that's how I've been living."
"Have you been crying?"
"Where were you?" She stared into his soul trying to figure out when he became this way
"I...I went to go get Roland"
"Oh really okay" she gets up and walks toward him and stopped halfway and leaned against the table "well where is he?"
"Marian wanted him to stay with her tonight"
"Ohhhh okay okay was that before or after you stuck your tongue down her throat" a tear fell down her face
"You were there? " he looked at her shockingly
"Oh you bet your ass I was" she turned her back to him not wanting him to see her cry when the tears started to come streaming down "why Robin! How could you do this to me!"
"Oh please Regina don't act so innocent" she turned around quickly
"What did you just say!?"
"I saw you in the park all cuddled up with Daniel! I saw he kissed you and held your hands what the hell was that about!"
"First of all you fucking prick! Daniel saw I was having a bad day after the partners told me I hadn't a snow balls chance in hell making partner! He saw I was upset and took me on a walk! I needed a friend and he was there! Nothing happened he gave me a pep talk that I severely needed! And I told him thanks for being a friend! That's its that's all! We left after I found out that I was thirty minutes late to pick up Roland! But was surprised to find you there with your tongue down Marian's throat!"
"I was hurt I thought you we're cheating on me!" He stepped closer to her "Regina it just happened!"
"BULL SHIT!" Tears violently pouring down her face she picks up a glass vase and throws it against the wall "things don't just happened! You were pissed cause you thought I cheated you deliberately tried to hurt me! I'm 7 and 1/2 months pregnant with your children! Why! Huh? Why would I risk what we have funny thing was when I said I loved you I meant it!"
"I meant it Regina I still do I love you!"
"No...no I can't ..I won't be made a fool out of not again!" She started towards the picture shelves and started throwing glass picture frames of them on the floor "this is what you wanted right! You wanted to break us! Well congratulations you did it!" He grabbed her from behind and held her "get off of me you son of a bitch!" He let's her go and she turns around slaps him in the face
"Regina please calm down you're going to hurt yourself!"
She laughs maniacally "to late you already did" she grabs her lower back and begins to pace but then stops and looks at him " do you remember awhile ago when I told you if you ever hurt me this way again that it's over"
"Regina please wai-" she silence's him by putting up her hand
"No...I can't do this " she gestured between the both of them " what ever this is anymore it's over...I'm done you can get your stuff but after that I want you gone...take care Robin " she walks into the bathroom and closes the door and begins to cry she feels her phone vibrating and sees its her sister "hello" she answers with a hoarse voice
"Regina I need you right now I'm at the hospital I'm in labor!"
