Babymoon (Part Two)

Regina pulled her hair into a ponytail before grabbing her room key. She climbed onto the bed and pressed kisses to Robin's face until he opened an eye. "I'm going to the spa for a massage and a facial," she told him.

"Good. Spoil yourself. That's why we're here," he said sleepily. "I'm going to sleep in a bit more and then probably hit the pool."

She smiled. "Enjoy yourself. I'll meet you at the pool when I'm done."

He mumbled a response, no doubt almost back asleep. Regina climbed off the bed and left the room, heading down to the lobby. She stopped at the small café there, ordering a small coffee and picking up a croissant. Another woman joined her, watching as she received her order. Regina raised her coffee cup to her before leaving.

She left the main building and crossed over to where the spa was as she ate her croissant and drank her coffee. Tossing the napkin she had used to hold her croissant, she entered the spa and approached reception. A young woman greeted her cheerily. "Do you have a reservation?"

"I do. A friend made it for me but I think she put it under my name," Regina replied, pulling out her phone to read the text from Ana again. "Yeah, it should be under Regina Locksley."

The receptionist typed it into her computer and nodded. "Yes, I have it right here. It says your room booking is for the parents-to-be package. Do you have any restrictions we should be aware of?"

"Oh, no," Regina replied, looking down at her flat stomach. She then looked up at the receptionist. "We're adopting."

"That's wonderful," the receptionist said with a genuine smile. She finished typing something in before standing up. "If you'll follow me, I'll bring you to the next room where you can change."

Regina followed her into a changing area and accepted a fluffy bathrobe from the reception. The woman then pointed to several cubbies. "You can put your things in number twenty-three. That will be yours all day."

"Thank you," Regina said, looking over the changing rooms. "And I pick anyone of those?"

The receptionist nodded. "And when you're done, you can head into the next room and ask for Astrid. She'll be taking care of you today."

She left the room as Regina headed into one of the changing areas. She took off her clothes and put on the robe, folding everything up. Once she stored everything in her assigned cubby, Regina headed into the next room to find Astrid.

A small brunette greeted Regina when she entered. Regina smiled as she said: "I'm looking for Astrid – Regina Locksley."

"Regina!" the woman exclaimed, her face brightening. She held out her hand. "I'm Astrid and I'll be your masseuse for today."

Regina took her hand and shook it. "Well, that was easy."

Astrid laughed before motioning for Regina to follow her. "My room is only a couple doors down."

They barely entered the nearest hallway when Astrid opened a door. She stepped inside and Regina followed, finding a massage table overlooking the beautiful forest right behind Hotel Olympus. "That's a gorgeous view," she said.

"I know," Astrid replied. "It's very relaxing to work with it as my backdrop, so I can only imagine it's just as relaxing for my clients."

Regina nodded, taking off her robe before climbing onto the bed. "Well, if I fall asleep, I hope you aren't insulted."

Astrid chuckled. "Not at all. I find it a compliment. It means I was able to make you relax enough to do so."

"Good way to think of it," Regina said, getting comfortable on the table. She rested her chin on her arms as she stared out at the trees, Astrid already working out some of the knots in her back.
