A Mistake?

The OB Appointment

I sit in the waiting room with Robin next to me. My leg is bobbing up and down. He puts his hand on my knee, and my leg stops. I fiddle with my hands.

"God, this is taking way too long." I whine.

"Be patient, love." He smiles.

"Regina Mills?" I nurse calls and I hope to my feet and follow.

We get back to the room and the nurse asks a few questions. "When did you find out?"

"Thanksgiving." I answer nervously.

"When was the baby conceived?"

"Halloween." I whisper.

"No need to be nervous, hun. We are just gonna take a look and see what's up." She smiles. I give her a weak smile. "The doctor will be in momentarily." She leaves.

I look at Robin, and he gives a reassuring look. He kisses my forehead. Dr. Whale walks in and shakes both out hands.

"Is he the father?" Whale asks.

"Yes." Robin and I say in unison.

"Alright. Please lift your top. The gel might be cool to the touch, so bare with me." Whale states. He puts the gel on my bell and puts the stick thingy on my belly and moves it around. He points at a dot on the screen and says that it is my child. I stare at the screen with fear and excitement all at the same time.

"I'll leave you two a lone for a bit. I'll print you a picture." Whale says and leaves.

"That's a child. My child." I say in astonishment.

"I can't belive we are having a child, Regina." He whispers staring at the screen. "Regina, I think you should move in with me and we can raise it together." He says out of blue.

"I am perfectly capable raising this child myself." I say offended.

"I didn't mean it like that." He looks at me.

"We barely know each other." I state, "What if your crazy?"

He gives me a look, "Fine, but I want to be fully involved with this child."

"Why?"

"Because I planted that seed." He says pointing to the screen.

"What if I don't want you involved?" I ask, and by his facial expression, I hurt him.

"Well, sucks to be you. I'm going to be involved."

I groan and roll my eyes, "Fine." I cross my arms. Whale walks in and hands us both a picture of our dot.

"Alright we will see you again in three weeks." Whale smiles. I nod and follow Robin out to schedule the next appointment.

We walk out the car and we hop in, "Why don't you want me around?" He inquires.

"Because everything is better when I am alone." I grunt.

"Well, sometimes that isn't true." He starts the ignition. I nod once and look out the window.

"I'm sorry, Robin. I'm not used to people like you." I confess.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I mean, nice and sincere. Generous. The only person I know who is like that, is Mary Margaret." I reply.

"Oh."

I rub my belly and look down, "I can't believe I am pregnant. I'm dead if my mother finds out."

"Why?" He asks.

"Because she's a bitch and will find anything to hold against me and ridicule me."

"Who says you need to tell her?"

"Well if shows up 7 months into my pregnancy and sees my stomach."

"Well, you have a place to stay and she won't be able to find, at least after the baby is born." He replies.

"I'll move in with you." I say and take is hand.

"Good, we can pack tomorrow. You need some rest, today was a big day." He smiles.

"Yeah, tell me about it." I once gain rub my belly.

We ride to my apartment in comfortable silence, we exchange glances at each other. We arrive and he helps me out of the car, like the gentleman he is. He walks me to my door and I open it up, "Will you come in with me? I don't want to be alone." I whisper.

He nods and follows me up the stairs to my actual entrance. I throw my keys into a bowl in the hallway and walk into my bedroom with Robin behind me. I changed into more comfortable clothes, as he walks around looking at my stuff. I finally crawl into bed and he follows my moves on the other side. I roll into his chest and cuddle close. His arms is under my neck, and I feel him reach for something. Shit, he found my stuffed animal!

"You still sleep with a stuffy." He laughs.

"Mock all you want, Sammy is awesome." I grunt, but can't stop smiling. I grab my Sammy and hold him while cuddling into Robin.

"You're too cute." He laughs,  "Who  knew the Evil Queen slept with a stuffy." He mocks.

"You tell anyone, I'll rip your heart out."

"There's the bad ass I know." He smiles and kisses me forehead. He rubs circles on my back and I fall into a deep sleep.
