Locked Up

~Emma's POV~

"Emma gimme your hand!" Regina says excitedly. She puts my hand on her belly. Something presses against my hand. "Did you feel that?"

"Yeah." I smile.

"They're awake papi." We're both excited about our our girls. We had to let the family who was going to adopt them down. They were pretty sad but they understood. "Look they both like to press both feet against my womb." She takes my other hand and puts it on our second baby's feet. "Lately– and this may sound crazy– I feel like there's been an extra set of feet in."

I look at her thinking no way. "Well maybe it's just their hands. Wouldn't the doctor have seen if there were another baby?"

"I don't know," she shrugs. "Maybe."

"We can ask tomorrow, since that's your next appointment."

-the next day-

"Regina aren't you supposed to be having twins?" The doctor asks my girlfriend.

"Y-yes." Regina chuckles confused.

"Well I'm sorry to say that I was wrong. You're having triplets. Baby C was hiding for nearly the whole pregnancy."

"I told you Emma." Regina playfully smacks my shoulder. "Doctor I could feel her in there. Her feet were pressing against me."

"Well a mother is always right. So how did you guys get pregnant? Was it a sperm donor?" Well got damn? Could you be anymore invasive?

"No these are our biological children." Regina says. The doctor raises an eyebrow.

"So you have a boyfriend or husband coming in?"

"No." Regina starts to get frustrated. "They're ours."

"I have a penis." I say. "I'm intersex." The doctor reaches out to wipe the gel off of Regina's belly, but Regina takes the wipes from her.

"We don't have to explain ourselves to you and we sure didn't come her the be judge. We came to see if our babies are healthy." Regina day frustrated. This is not good for the babies.

"I-I'm actually sorry. I should not have assumed anything or said that. I was in the wrong and I'm sorry." The doctor corrects herself.

"Thank you. I appreciate that. Let's just agree to move on." Regina says.

"How could a baby be hidden for this long?" I ask.

"I honestly don't know. I thought they were twins and now they're triplets." The doctor says. Regina tried to sit up. "Woah woah. Take it easy. I want you to stay home until the end of your pregnancy. Now that we know it's three babies, we know that there will be more stress on your body." We nod and ask more questions.

-Regina's place-

"So babe?" I ask.

"What papi?"

"Can you move in with me when I get an apartment?"

"Yeah."

"I was thinking I buy a big house for our girls, with lots of room. It'll have a big kitchen for you to cook in cuz you said you like cooking. Ooh remember when you brought me some of your lasagna when I was locked up? It was so good." I rub my belly and smile.

"I do remember papi." She kisses my cheek.

"I loved our appointments. Just talking with you was nice. Now it's even better." I smile and kiss her nose. An idea pops in my head. I keep it to myself because it's gonna be a surprise for Regina.
