Sticky Situation

Bigger Responsibilities.

Regina whimpered loudly and gripped the bed sheets between her fingers, taking deep breaths in and out. "Ouch ouch.." She whispered and squeezed her eyes closed tightly. "I'm so sorry baby...it's okay it's okay." Robin whispered, running his fingers through her hair and kissing her forehead.

Regina had gone into labor at around four in the morning. She was feeling so sick, her face was pale and coated in a thin layer of sweat, she had severe pain every three minutes. Contractions. It was almost time for her to push! There was no medication to take for her...this was all natural. The mid wife walked into the bedroom chamber and sighed, taking a deep breath before walking over to Regina. "Hello, Regina." She sighed and bit her lip, pulling on some protective, sanitary gloves. "H-hi.." Regina whimpered with a loud groan, and squeezed her eyes shut, her breath was labored and her body was so tired and she hadn't even began to push yet!

"How are you feeling..?"

"Like I'm going into labor!" Regina cried and took a deep breath, shooting daggers at Robin. "Don't. You. Dare. Touch. Me..ever again!" Regina cried and fisted her hands in the sheets, whimpering softly. She didn't really mean that, she was just in so much pain and didn't know who to blame, so why not the man who actually got her pregnant!

"Baby...I know it hurts-"

"You know nothing!" Regina whimpered, squeezing her eyes closed. "I..need..to push!" She grunted and then mid wife shook her head, "not yet...not yet!" She told her seriously and began to get all the instruments she would need together. She sighed and propped Regina's legs up, "okay...lets feel how dilated you are." The mid wife sighed and laid one hand on Reginas knee, the other feeling her dilation. "Okay Regina...are you ready to meet your baby?" Regina showed her first smile and nodded happily, reaching out for Robins hand. "Oh god.." She grunted, breathing deeply.

Robin took Regina's hand and kissed the top of it gently, "okay sweetie...okay try and breathe, if the pain becomes a lot..squeeze my hand as hard as you can." Regina nodded and whimpered quietly.

"Okay Regina...push!" The mid wife told her, Regina cried loudly and whimpered, pushing with all her might, her back arching off the bed. She slowly fell back down to the bed, whimpering and letting out small puffs of air. "Oh god..." She groaned. Robin smiled and kissed her sweaty forehead, "you're doing amazing, so so amazing." Robin smiled. Regina whimpered and nodded, her eyes slowly closing. "Okay Regina...another big push!"

Regina whimpered loudly and fisted her one hand, the other squeezing Robin's hand so tightly as she pushed, her face crunching up in pain. "Ow! Oh god! It hurts!" She took a deep breath and fell limp against the bed once again, looking up at Robin. "I can't anymore.." She whispered and Robin nodded, taking a deep breath. "You can. No. No you can..." Robin kissed her cheek gently, "one more push and we will see our baby...one more big push!" Regina nodded and sat up some.

She looked down at the doctor and nodded, taking a deep breath before squeezing her fist around the sheets and around Robins hand. She cried out, a single tear falling from her eye and she moaned in pain, suddenly the sound of a loud wail filled the room and Regina gasped, breathing heavily. "My baby...my baby!" Regina giggled happily, taking a weak breath. "What is it? Robin! Boy or girl?" She asked anxiously and smiled lazily.

Robin smiled brightly, tears shining in his eyes and he stood up, walking over to where the mid wife had their tiny new infant. "A girl...it's a baby girl." He whispered with the brightest of smiles. "Oh she's incredible!" Robin whispered, running the pad of his thumb over her tiny foot. She was put into a pink little blanket. She had these deep blue eyes with dark little curls already on her head. She had Regina's skin tone. Her face was beautiful, her skin soft and smooth. She was absolutely perfect.

"Robin.." Regina smiled brightly, a tear sliding down her cheek. "Our baby girl..." She whispered gently.

"Okay daddy...wish to cut the cord?" The mid wife smiled, handing him the scissors to do it. Robin smiled brightly and nodded, cutting her cord gently. "Oh sweet girl.." Robin smiled at her, she was going to be his little princess for sure.

Regina giggled and opened her tired eyes a little bit more, biting her bottom lip. "Okay let me see my baby girl...I did push her out." She giggled and yawned quietly. Robin smiled and nodded, lifting her up, cradling her in his arms. "Regina, we made this.." He smiled, looking down at their little miracle. "Hmm..we did." Regina smiled and slowly leaned up taking the baby from Robin's arms. She gasped immediately and her eyes got shiny with tears. "Oh Robin.." She whispered quietly. "She's so so beautiful..." Regina let out a small cry and smiled happily. She ran her thumb over their baby's forehead and leaned down, brushing her lips over her nose.

"Elleana..." Robin whispered and ran his hand through Regina's hair, his fingers knitting through her beautiful, chocolate trestles. "Elleana..." Regina repeated and looked up at Robin. "She's so perfect..." Regina whispered and sighed.

"I'm a mom!"

"And I'm a dad.."

They both shared some comfortable silence before Regina looked up at Robin. "Babe, call for my mother...she will be so excited to know she got her granddaughter." Robin hummed and giggled, nodding. "Okay...ill be right back." He kissed Regina's forehead and then little Elleana's before walking out of the room and toward their messenger boy, "send this out to Cora Mills-" Regina heard Robin saying as he walked further away from the bedroom.

The next morning Regina laid in bed with her eyes closed, exhausted from the morning before. She was awake, always on guard now to make sure Elleana didn't start crying and that she was okay. Robin sighed and laid down beside Regina, his forehead against hers gently. Elleana was in the crib next to the bed on Regina's side.

They laid there in comfortable silence, just enjoying the warmth of each other...they were parents now, parents to a baby girl, they had a bigger responsibility than to just themselves. Regina heard a loud and authority filled voice coming up the stairs, no doubt yelling at maids and she giggled, sitting up and bringing Elleana into her arms. "Mother." Regina giggled and Robin hummed, sitting up beside Regina.

Cora rushed into the room and gasped, smiling brightly. She set down her bag and took her shoes off carefully, looking at the beautiful little family in front of her. "Oh Regina..." Cora hummed and sat on the bed besides her. Cora laid her hand on Regina's knee, looking over at the baby. "She's so beautiful..." Cora praised, "thank you, mother."

"Would you like to hold her?"

"May I?" Cora gasped and sat up straighter, holding her arms out. "Of course!"

Regina giggled and nodded, setting Elleana in her mothers arms. "What's her name again?" Cora asked, remembering a faint conversation about the names they had selected at a earlier date. "Elleana.." Regina hummed.

"Oh that's beautiful.."

Robin smiled brightly and reached behind Regina, rubbing her back gently in soothing circles. Cora smiled and ran her finger over Elleana's smooth head, taking this beautiful moment in. "She's a perfect mix of the both of you." Robin and Regina nodded at the same time, "she's perfect.."

They all sat there, enjoying the beautiful miracle that had been brought into the early the morning before.
