"Regina, what the hell are you doing?" Emma says as she walks into the kitchen.

"I'm taking shots." I say as I down another shot.

"Of syrup?" She says as she takes the bottle of sticky goodness.

"I'm pregnant and although I would rather drown myself in tequila I don't want to harm my baby." I say as I grab the bottle.

"Congratulations! Where is Robin and why are you listening to Adele?" Emma asks and I sigh before I take another shot.

"He left after I told him that Leo could be the father of our baby." I say as tears fall down my cheeks.

"Regina, what the hell? What happened? When did this happen?" Emma asks and I frown.

"Long story short Leo and Robin are related. Robin and I had sex then Leo raped me. Now, I'm pregnant and I don't know who the father is. Oh, and Robin left me. Yay!" I say sarcastically as I sit on the kitchen stool.

"Regina, why didn't you tell me?" Emma says and I give her a look. "Never mind that was a stupid question."

"So, in my moment of depression it is your job to make sure I don't hop off a cliff." I say as I stare up at her.

"Okay, let's get some rocky road." Emma says as she claps her hands together.

I smile before I sigh quietly. I get up from the chair and Emma wraps her hands around my waist and hugs me. I smile into her blonde hair as she rubs circles on my back. I pull away and she rubs my shoulder.

"Let's get you some ice cream so you can cry your eyes out and pass out on the couch." Emma says and I laugh.

"You know me so well." I say and Emma scoffs.

"Of course I do. We are practically joined at the hip." Emma says and I nod.

"Can we go now? I am literally starving." I say as I briefly rub my stomach.

"I can't wait until you're good and fat so I can be the thinner one in this relationship." Emma says and I laugh.

"Spoken like a true best friend." I say as I grab her hand. "Now, let's go!" I say as I start to drag her out the house.

"To Häagen Dazs!" Emma yells once we get in the car.

"Just shut up and drive." I say as I get comfortable in the seat.

"I hate the pregnant and cranky you. It's annoying." She says and I laugh.

"I've always been annoying." I say as I rub my stomach.

"Very true." Emma says and then see looks at me. "You're going to be a great mom." She says snd I smile as I look out the window.

"Emma! Watch out!" I scream when I see a cat in the middle of the street and she steps on the breaks.

"What the hell?" Emma says as she stops in front of the fat cat. "That little fucker!" Emma yells and I laugh.

"You never liked cats." I say with a laugh.

Emma honks at the cat and waits for it to move out of the way. Once it does she starts driving again. I look out the window and stare at the clouds. My phone vibrates and I quickly take it out of my pocket. I glance at the caller ID and frown.

"Yes, David?" I say into the phone as Emma parks the car.

"Are you okay? Robin can't just leave you like that. You are pregnant and you can't take care of Rose and Roland by yourself." David says and I give Emma a glare.

"Hold on for a second." I say and then I push Emma's head onto the steering wheel causing the horn to honk.

"Ow, what the hell?" Emma says and I hang up the phone.

"You told David! What the hell is wrong with you?" I yell at her and she squirms.

"I just thought it was in your best interest." Emma says and I scoff.

"My best interest right now is a tub of ice cream and Netflix." I say and Emma laughs.

"I'll go get it and you can stay in the car." She says as she gets out the car.

My hands go to my slightly swollen stomach and I gently rub it. I smile as I think of my little daughter running through the house with her older siblings. I laugh when I picture her looking like Robin. God, I hope she's Robin's.

"I really hope you're a girl because men are really pissing me off right now. You'll be a pretty little baby and Rose and Roland will fight over you. And when you grow up your daddy will chase away all the boys. Don't worry I'll be there to comfort you and to teach you all my secret moves." I say with a laugh. "I just really hope you're a girl." I say as tears fall down my cheeks.

"Oh, great it's crying." Emma says as she gets in the car.

"I've been waiting for my ice cream so of course I'm crying tears of joy." I say as I snatch the bag.

"Geez, can you wait?" She says as I look through the bag.

"And you forgot a spoon. Go get one." I say and she groans as she goes back in the store.

"I'll teach you how to be a bad bitch and how to boss Auntie Em around. I promise you that you'll love it." I say with a laugh.

Emma comes back with the spoon and I immediately start eating. She drives me back hone and we get in my bed. She fills Robin's place and it doesn't feel right. Not having him here is absolutely wrong and terrifying.

"What's wrong?" Emma asks me and I sigh.

"I'm tired and I can't sleep without Robin." I say with a yawn and she laughs.

"Well what does Robin usually do before you fall asleep?" Emma asks and I smile.

"He tells me to go to sleep." I say and Emma nods her head.

"Babe, go to sleep." Emma says impersonating Robin.

"Then he rubs my shoulder." I say and Emma starts doing that. "Usually he kisses me goodnight."

"Yeah, I'm not doing that one." Emma says as she gets off the bed.

"Thank you." I say with a smile as she walks towards the door.

"Whatever." She says as she leaves the room.

I roll over and lay my head on Robin's pillow. His faint scent on the pillow easily soothes me. I just wish he was here laying in bed with me with his arms wrapped around my stomach.

*****

"Regina, wake up babe." I hear a voice say as a hand rubs my arm.

I open my eyes to see his shining eyes. He smiles at me and I immediately drown in his dimples. I touch his face to reassure myself that he's really here. I smile at him and he kisses me softly on my lips.

"Robin, where were you?" I ask and he sighs.

"It doesn't matter babe. I'm here now and I took care of some things. I was scared that our child wouldn't be mine. I know that I shouldn't have left and I know that was wrong. I'm sorry Regina, I truly am. I just hope that you still want to marry me." Robin says snd I nod.

"Of course I want to marry you. I understand I kinda freaked out too. Emma had to calm me down." I say and he chuckles.

"Well Emma slapped me and so did my mother." Robin says and I touch his cheek and he groans.

"Why were you at your mother's?" I ask him and he sighs.

"I had some business in England." He says as he holds up his bloody hand.

"Robin, are you okay. I can clean that up for you." I say as I get up.

"No, it's not even my blood." Robin says as he sits up.

"I don't understand." I say as I sit down next to him.

"My fist ran into Leo's face." He says and I sigh. "I wasn't going to let him get away with that. I wasn't going to let him hurt you without a punishment. You're going to be my wife and no one lays a hand on my wife." He says as he cups my cheek.

"Robin, you didn't have to do that." I say and he shakes his head.

"Of course I had to. He deserved it for hurting you. I'm sorry I left the way I did but I was so mad when you told me and I just had to do something." Robin says and I nod.

"I love you Robin but I probably won't forgive you for leaving me like that. I was alone and hurt and I thought you were never coming back." I say as tears run down my face and Robin quickly wipes them away.

"The past is in past babe. I'm here now and I'm not leaving you." Robin says as he hugs me.

"Do you promise?" I say and Robin pulls away from the hug.

"Yes, I promise. Now, where are the kids?" Robin asks and I smile.

"The kids are at Mary's house. I was kinda a mess and I didn't want them to see me like this." I say and Robin nods.

"I'll get them later. Now, let's just have time with the three of us." Robin says as his hand is placed on my stomach.

"We can cuddle after you wash that disgusting hand of your's." I say and he laughs.

He gives me a kiss before he stands up and goes to the bathroom. I sigh as I fall back onto the bed and stare up at the ceiling. Robin is back and we can finally move on and conquer this challenge together. Robin gets out the bathroom and plops down next to me.

"Take off your shirt." Robin says and I turn to look at him.

"Why?" I ask him and he smiles.

"Just trust me." He says and I take my shirt off and throw it at the end of the bed.

Robin lays on my chest and he starts to rub my stomach. He traces patterns on it with his fingers as I smile like an idiot. He hugs my stomach gently as he kisses it softly. He looks up at me and gives me a kiss.

"I can't wait until you're bigger and I can feel our child kicking my hand." Robin says and I laugh.

"At least one of us will enjoy the kicking. I know for a fact that I'll be complaining about our little one sitting on my bladder." I say as I run my fingers through his hair.

"I can't to see your eyes on our child. He or she will be beautiful." Robin says and I smile.

"We can call them Rocky for now." I say as I rub my stomach.

"Does this have anything to do with the gallon of Rocky Road that I may or may not have eaten?" Robin says and I giggle.

"Maybe. Wait, you ate my ice cream?!" I ask and he just laughs.

"We'll call the baby Peanut and I'll buy you more." Robin says and I laugh.

"Well me and Peanut are appalled that you even ate my ice cream. We were looking forward to it later. You ruined our plans you heartless monster." I say and Robin laughs.

"I'm not heartless at the moment and I said I would buy you more. I can make you some mac and cheese later." Robin says and I hum.

"I am a sucker for some cheesy goodness." I say and Robin smiles.

"Yes, I know. Would you like dinner in bed?" He says and I nod.

"Dinner in bed sounds divine." I say with a smile.

Robin goes into the kitchen and I spend some quality time with Peanut. I stay quiet as I gently rub my bare stomach. I smile as a few tears fall down my cheeks. I'm pregnant and I'm happy. I can smell the mac and cheese from here and I smile. I frown as my stomach starts to churn.

"You have got to kidding me." I say as I get up and run to the bathroom.

I clap a hand over my mouth and drop to my knees. I empty the contents of my stomach into the toilet. A comforting hand rubs circles on my back. Robin holds my hair back as I vomit. Once I finish I loudly sigh.

"Regina, are you alright honey." He says and I laugh.

"I'm suddenly not hungry anymore." I say and Robin chuckles.

"We can have the Mac and cheese for breakfast." He says and another wave of nausea hits me.

"Sorry I mentioned it." Robin says as I empty my already empty stomach.

"It's alright. Just pass me some mouthwash." I say and he chuckles.

I flush the toilet and Robin helps me stand up. He gives me a small smile as he hands me the mouthwash. I take a generous swig and instantly gag on the overpowering mint taste. I spit into the sink and Robin gives me a kiss.

"Since dinner is cancelled do you want to cuddle?" Robin says and I laugh.

"You silly man, we are still eating dinner." I say and he laughs.

"Well you go get comfortable and I'll get the dinner." He says as he wraps his arms around me. "I love you." He says and I give him a kiss.

"I'll love you too once you get me food." I say and he shakes his head.

"I better go get it then." He says with a smile.

He leaves the bathroom and I lean against the bathroom counter. I smile to myself as I think about my future husband. We'll be happy with my new baby that we'll love regardless. Everything is going great.
