Prompt 142- Robin Doesn't Get There In Time, Crystal Gets Their Unborn Baby

T/w for loss, adult content, and miscarriage

Robin

I watched on in horror as a bright blast of magic swam out of the crystal, making both Zelena and I scream out in shock. I watched as the witch hastily picked up the dagger from behind her, shoving it into Hades' back, but the damage was already done.

I set the baby down in her carrier as gently as humanly possible while trying to rush over to Regina, but the magic was already striking her. I waited for her soul to split and vanish before my eyes, but there was only a crash of thunder, followed by the destruction of the dagger and Hades.

"Regina!" I screamed, instinctively catching her in my arms as her legs crumbled from beneath her. Her eyes were frantically looking around the room as her hands clutched her stomach where the magic had struck her.

"Did it hurt you?! Did it stab you?!" I cried frantically, trying to undo her complex belt that cinched her jacket around her waist, without avail. "No, she's pregnant!" Zelena cried from behind me, making my heart sink to my toes. She blinked momentarily, to grasp her bearings before snapping back into reality. She immediately cried out in pain, her hand gripping onto my wrist for dear life.

"It hurts! Something is wrong!" She cried, making me pull away slightly and look down, blood pooling through her thick leggings and onto the white marble floors. It was gushing in incredible amounts, spilling into her boots and pants.

"It's going to be okay! Everything is going to be okay!" I cried, now feeling her sob in my arms while Zelena hastily called an ambulance. I felt denial wash over me as I held my soulmate closely in my arms, using every ounce of strength to try and comfort her.

"How long has she known?!" I demanded of the witch, who jumped from my sudden outburst, my eyes now trailing down to Regina who's panic was increasing by the minute, her face growing paler and paler by the minute.

"I don't know! Four months? Maybe five? She's a tiny thing, I didn't know you hadn't noticed!" Zelena cried, making me think back to our night spent together while Marian was stuck in her frozen coma. I hastily began to untie the belt on Regina's coat to reduce some of the pressure, revealing the maternity spanks she had been wearing to conceal her curvature in her figure.

"I'm losing it, aren't I?" She wept, looking up at me with pure hopelessness in her eyes, as if her body were betraying her. I swallowed and gripped her tighter, shaking my head adamantly as I placed a gentle hand on her bump. "No. We are going to get you some help and everything will be good as new." I assured, my own voice shaking with terror.

"You're going to be fine."

...

I anxiously paced in the waiting room with my wretched sister in law while they worked on Regina, her audible cries making it impossible for me to stay still.

"Sit down, Robin. You can't help her by worrying yourself to death." Zelena grumbled, making me whip my head around and glare at her angrily, my emotions going a million miles a minute.

"Shut up! This is all your fault! I can't believe you were going to let your deranged boyfriend kill your sister- your own flesh and blood!" I shouted, making her blue eyes burn with anger and fury, causing her to shoot out of her seat and charge towards me.

"You never should have come then! The baby was just fine with me! I can be trusted with her, you know!" She retaliated, but I just scoffed and paced in the other direction, to prevent myself from piercing her with one of my arrows.
