Third chance at love

Dig a little deeper Pt2

Pacing back and forward in the front gardens of Mansion Regina needed space to think. Coming to his family mansion was bad idea. It had only been couple of minutes and her mind was racing. His mother hated her just like she predicted and it seemed nothing could change her mind. However what made it worst was that his mother wanted him to marry someone else. A woman it seemed he had been betrothed to for quite awhile. This made Regina's blood boil. Why hadn't he told her about this Anais and they had been in a relationship for many years but not once had he told her about mother's matching. Taking a seat on the garden bench as she wasn't able to keep pacing. Resting her sore feet all Regina wanted to do was to leave. If Raphael's mother couldn't approve their relationship then how could Henry. The idea of losing Henry made Regina feel weak and nauseated. Henry was everything, her first baby. Looking down at her small round bump Regina wondered what this baby would be. She had always wanted to another baby but now she wondered if it was too soon. Bring a newborn into such a stressful environment was not ideal but to the look of things the next seven months would still be as stressful. Trying to clear her mind in the afternoon heat Regina's thoughts began to drift to Her Son's Birthday. Next week Was Henry's birthday and everyone was coming. She was hoping to Henry about her pregnancy couples after it but now she was terrified of the results if she did. As Regina continued to worry about the possibility of everything going wrong she suddenly felt a massive pull in her stomach. Letting out a gasp of pain Regina had no idea of what was going on. There was no way she could be in labour as she was only two months along. placing a hand on her stomach another strong wave hit her again. "What is going on?" The pain was in tense and it was making Regina panic. 

" Calm yourself child. The baby is letting you know your stressing too much for it to bare." Mama Odie had wondered into the gardens to find her. She wanted to comfort Regina and to put an end to her negative thoughts but when she finally found her she was doubled over on the bench crying in pain. Helping Regina back into the seating position on the bench Mama Odie instantly knew what was wrong. She could feel the strong magic radiating off Regina and Mama couldn't believe how strong it was. " Take deep breaths and just relax. Your child wants you to relax Regina." Mama Odie said Rubbing her back to encourage Regina to relax. " How do you know this?" Regina with confusion. 

"Because your child has magic and when your pregnant with a magical child things are a little different compared to a normal pregnancy. First your unborn child can feel your stress levels or pretty much any emotion you have. The more extreme the more stressful it is for the baby." Mama Odie could feel the magic Regina was giving off slowly decreasing which was good.  " Thank you I feel a lot better now. May I ask how you know that?" Regina was really curious of Mama Odie. She had lived over a hundred years had so many stories and knowledge to share. 

" I too had my share of magical pulls with my pregnancy many years ago." Stopping her back rubs Mama Odie wanted Regina to know it wasn't her fault or mistake of the outcome today. Taking Regina's hands in hers Mama Odie explained Her daughter's behaviour. " I Know my daughter demeanour affected you and I just wanted you to know it wasn't your fault. Celine only wants the best for her only son but she forgets that what she wants isn't always the right thing." Understanding where Mama Odie was coming from Regina was more focused on this Anais woman. 

" Understand that Mama Odie but what bothers me is this Anais woman was Raphael betrothed to her?" Regina was nervous. She wanted to know the answer but at he same time she didn't. "Yes Raphael was Betrothed to Anais many years ago but ended it which infuriated his mother. However Anais wasn't the one for my Grandson. When I see you with him I knew you where the one."  

" So you approve of our relationship?... What about tradition?" Stuttering, Regina was taken back by Mama Odie words. " Yes of course child and as for Traditions some times traditions need to be broken especially when it keeps two lovers apart." Regina's Smile returned and Mama Odie was glad."
