I laid in bed, holding the blankets tight as i took deep breaths. i just finished throwing up. it's been three weeks since graduation. Regina's at a meeting for the company today. i closed my eyes as i tried not to think of the one possibility that keeps popping back into my brain. i tried to sleep but i couldn't, so i turned a movie on. I watched it but didn't really pay attention. i couldn't really focus at all. All i could think about was the possibility that i could be pregnant. What would Regina say? Are we ready for two kids? what if she doesn't want it? Oh jeez what if she doesn't want it. I teared up and covered my face. Then Henry ran in the room and climbed on the bed. "Mommy?" he asked and climbed on top of me. i smiled and held him close. "yes bud?" i asked softly. He reached up and wiped my tears. "Why you cry?" he asked in a soft little voice. "I'm okay bud. I promise." I said softly and he nodded. "I miss daddy." He said and I sighed. "I do too. How about you hang out in here with me and we watch Clifford?" I asked and he nodded excitedly, laying down with me. I put Clifford's Puppy Days on and he started singing along with the theme song. I smiled brightly and kissed his head.

I woke up to someone playing in my hair and i looked over to see Regina sitting beside me, Henry still snuggled into my side asleep. I smiled. "Hi." I said softly. She hummed and smiled. "Hi my love." She said quietly and I bit my lip. "I love you so much." I said and she pecked my lips. "I love you." She said and I nodded.

The next day found me standing in the bathroom over a line of five pregnancy tests. I figured it was worth it to see. I bit my lip as the timer went off and I looked down at all of them and teared up as they all said pregnant. Fuck what am I going to do. I ran my fingers through my hair and teared up as I laid a hand on my belly. I quickly took the pregnancy tests to the trashcan outside and threw them away before going back to the door and my eyes widened as I realized I locked myself out. In a t-shirt and thong. I rushed to the flowerpot by the door and looked under it, groaning that the spare wasn't under there. No ones home. I don't have my phone. And my ass is only covered by my baggy t-shirt. Regina was taking Henry to daycare. Fuck I hope she hurries it's cold.

I waited on the porch and finally she pulled into the driveway. I swear I've been out here for an hour. She parked and got out, looking at me funnily. "My love.. what are you doing out here?" She asked as she got closer. "I had to bring something to the trash can and I locked myself out without my keys or phone." I said embarrassedly. She chuckled and pulled me close when she got to me and then gasped. "Baby you're freezing." She said and i nodded. "Yeah." I said and she quickly unlocked the door. "Come on. Let's get you in a nice bubble bath hm?" She said and I nodded as we went in. We went upstairs and to our bathroom. I followed her in there and she started running the warm water. She added bubbles and I smiled as i watched. "Alright love. It's ready for you." She said and stopped the water when the tub was full. I nodded and noticed she was walking to the door. "Are you not joining me?" I asked softly. She smiled. "Yes I can join you baby. I just didn't know if you wanted me to." She said softly and I nodded. "I always want you to join me." I said and she smiled as we both started undressing. We got in and i leaned back against her and she wrapped her arms around me. Maybe she'd be okay with it...

I watched Friends on Netflix in the middle of the night while Regina slept. I couldn't sleep. I rubbed my belly as I watched The One Where Rachel Has a Baby (part one). I was so nervous. But happy at the same time. I'm pregnant... and I'm not married. I always thought when I got pregnant, I would already be married to the love of my life. But I guess things never work out the way I want them to. "What are you doing up?" Regina asked sleepily. "I.. just couldn't sleep." I mumbled. "Baby why didn't you wake me?" She asked softly. I sighed. "You were already sleeping happily. I didn't want to wake you." I said softly. She hummed and pulled me closer. "You should've. I don't ever mind if you wake me up." She said and I nodded. "Why are you awake love? I know you can't ever just not sleep." She said softly and I bit my lip. "Guess there's a first time for everything." I mumbled. She sighed. "You know why you're not sleeping." She said. "No I don't." I said and closed my eyes. "Emma." "Regina I just couldn't sleep okay?" I snapped. "Fine. Whatever." She mumbled and I sighed. I snuggled into her and she held me closer. No matter what, she holds me tight. Even if she's fed up with me. I closed my eyes and she kissed my head. I fell asleep quickly in her arms.

I sat in the room with tears on my cheeks as I looked at the ultrasound pictures. How could something grow like that? I wiped my tears and the doctor came back to lead me out. I put the pictures back in the envelope before leaving. I set up my next appointment before leaving and going home. I was exhausted. Mentally and physically.

I parked in the driveway and got out before going inside. "Regina?" I called out. "In the kitchen!" She shouted and I went to the kitchen. She smiled at me before looking back at what she was making, for lunch I assume. "How was your doctors appointment?" She asked and my breathing hitched. I didn't know what to say. "I-i have a tumor... a-and he says it could be cancerous."
