The Nanny

Summer Fun

Regina padded out of the bathroom and into the sundrenched bedroom. It was earlier than she had wanted to wake up but it seemed her bladder had other ideas. Or rather the two Beans sitting on it did. She rubbed her small bump. "Mommy didn't need such an early wake up call," she told her unborn children.

She studied Robin, who was still sound asleep. He laid on his back, one arm stretched over her empty side of the bed and the other resting on his stomach. His hair shone like a halo from a few sunbeams falling across their bed. Regina smiled at the angelic sight before climbing back into bed, curling next to him.

They had gone to see Dr. Espenson the day before to talk about what had happened at the confrontation. She was proud of Regina and happy that she was ready to move on. Robin expressed concern over how angry and violent he almost got, but Dr. Espenson believed it was just due to the extraordinary circumstances. She offered to talk about it further with him in private sessions and he had accepted. Regina had agreed with Dr. Espenson's belief, feeling absolutely safe with Robin, but she knew his response had bothered him, so she supported his wish to talk about it with Dr. Espenson.

Regina had then said she wanted to work on restoring the intimacy between her and Robin. He told her not to rush but she knew it was time. Removing Leopold from her life took away that distraction. They could then focus on their relationship and she knew the intimacy they once shared would return—hopefully better than before.

She rested against his side and he curled his arm around her as his head rolled to face her. There was movement under his eyelids and she knew he was waking up. Regina tilted her head up, kissing under his jaw.

He moaned, kissing her forehead. "What time is it?" he asked, voice hoarse from sleep.

"Early," she replied. "Nature called."

"Oh, I remember that. It's only going to get worse." He kissed her forehead again as she groaned. "So, do you want to go back to sleep?"

She shook her head, tracing his lips with her finger. "I was thinking we could take advantage of being the only ones awake."

He hummed, sucking her finger in his mouth and swirling his tongue around it. It sent a hot jolt straight to her core as she grabbed onto his shirt with her free hand. With a good tug, she pulled him with her as she rolled flat onto her back.

Robin hovered over her, arms on either side of her body. He kissed her hand after releasing her finger, smiling at her. "Are you sure about this? I thought we agreed to go slow."

"I'm fine," she assured him, running her hands down his strong arms. "I'll let you know when I'm not. I promise."

"Okay," he said, nuzzling her nose.

She almost laughed at the situation. He was worried that some kisses and maybe some petting would be too much for her while she carried his children. Yet she knew their situation wasn't a normal one and bit back her laughter, grateful that he was so understanding.

He kissed her and she wound her arms around his neck, playing with the soft hair at his neck. She moaned into the kiss, opening her mouth up to him easily. Robin slipped his tongue in, sweeping her mouth.

Regina bent her knees as Robin's body sank closer to hers. His hands toyed with the edge of her t-shirt, warm fingers brushing against the skin underneath as their tongues now battled for dominance.

She broke the kiss, panting as she said: "Go ahead. You can touch me."

"I don't want to hurt you. I know...I know breasts can get sensitive during pregnancy," he replied, voice hoarse as his breath ghosted over the skin on her neck.
