Regina wiped her sweaty palms on her knees. Henry would be there soon, and she was nervous about what she was going to tell him. Robin was next to her on the couch, his hand soothingly rubbing her back, trying to ease her nerves and assure her that everything would be alright.
The door opened and Henry came in. He sat down across from them.
"Mom? What's wrong? You sounded nervous on the phone."
"Henry, I... We have something to tell you," she said, glancing at Robin.
"Okay, what is it?"
"I... I'm pregnant."
"You're... Having a baby?" Henry said, awestruck.
"Yes. But, Henry, this in no way changes us or the life we've created for ourselves," Regina said, sounding rushed, trying to console her son.
"Mom! This does change everything! I'm going to be a big brother!" He said happily.
"Y-you're excited?! I was so afraid you'd be angry with me," Regina confessed.
Henry said nothing in response, but got up and hugged his mother and Robin, smiling all the while.
"I'm gonna go tell Grandma and Grandpa, okay?" He said, rushing out the door.
Robin wrapped his arm around Regina's shoulders and she leaned into him.
"Well, that went quite well. See, I told you there was nothing to worry about," Robin said kissing her head. When she didn't answer, he looked down at her and saw that she was crying.
"Darling, what's the matter?" He questioned, holding her tighter.
She sniffed and said, "nothing. Happy tears." She smiled and so did Robin. Regina let her hand drift to her stomach and their unborn child as she thought about the years to cone with her soulmate and their children.
