Not alone anymore

Chapter 29

Time jump 3 months

Sitting in Granny's office I'm supposed to be doing paperwork but I'm totally spacing out. I'm really worried about Regina. She's been really sick all the time over the last 2 months. Everything from vomiting to night sweats. She barely has an appetite. It's such a struggle to get to eat anything lately. I believe she's also becoming depressed from all this. Other than going to sit out on the back patio she doesn't want to leave the house. It really scares me, not only for her health but our wedding is supposed to be next month. I keep thinking that it's her nerves acting up because maybe she's not ready to get married yet or ever, but I won't make matters worse by asking. Thankfully she agreed to go to the doctors today to get checked out. I really wanted to go with her but she didn't want me to miss work just for the flu. I really hope that's all it is. I finally found someone that loves me just the way I am and I love her with everything I am. I really hope it's nothing serious. I look down at the invoices that I should be making checks out for but I just can't concentrate. I've got so much on my mind and I'm starting to get upset and a little pissed off that I don't know what's going on. I take the pen that's in my hand and throw it across the room as hard as I can and it bounces off the wall.  "Well what did that pen do to you?"   I didn't see Granny standing there.  "I'm sorry Granny. I'm just not myself today. I've got a lot on my mind. I'll try to refocus".   I'm still in her chair behind the desk so she sits across from me and asks. "Would you like to tell me what's going on?  Are you getting cold feet with the wedding coming up?"   "No it's nothing like that. I don't want to talk about it but I should because it'll probably only get worse in my head".   "What is it Emma?"   "It's Regina.  She hasn't been feeling well for a while now and she finally went to the doctors. She's there now. She didn't want me to miss work so she went alone but I can't stop thinking about what may be happening. I told her you would understand if I asked to switch a shift or come in later tonight to do the paperwork but she said not worry that she'll be fine. Granny what if it's something really serious?  I also think maybe this is Regina's not wanting to get married. Granny what do I do?"   "Emma I wish you would have told me this I would have sent you right home, and that's what I think you should do. Is that where Regina is now?"   "No she's at her appointment".  "Then my child go to her. Wait for her by her car or inside the waiting room but you need to be by her side now. You love each other and your place is by her side".  "But Granny I haven't even started on any of this yet".  I say motioning to the paperwork. "Don't worry about all this Emma. Paperwork doesn't love you but Regina does. Go to her and be there for her no matter what's going on".  "Granny are you sure?"   "Emma Swan get the hell out of here before I fire you for being stupid". We share a small smile and then a hug. "Thank you Granny. I let you know what's going on if Regina is ok with that".  She kisses me on the cheek and says.  "Emma.  Goooo".   I quickly leave the room laughing as I say.  "Thanks Granny".    I go to the break room. I get my keys out of my locker and go to my car as fast as I can.  I drive by the house first and her car isn't there. Then I go to where her doctors office is located. I drive though the parking lot and see her car. I pull in next to it and shut off the engine. I take a few deep breaths, get out of the car and start walking into the building. I get on the elevator and go up to the floor where the office is and walk in. I look around the waiting room and don't see Regina. I go to the reception desk and say that I'm Emma Swan and that I'm the fiancé of Regina Mills and that that I'd like to know if she's still here and apologized for being late. "Miss Swan I'm sorry but I wasn't aware that you would be joining her".  "Ya sorry about that. I wasn't sure if I could get off of work. Could you see if Regina would want me in there for moral support or to just wait out here?"  She looks me over and I don't pose any threats so she says.  "I suppose I could see what's going on. Please have a seat.  I'll be right back".  She leaves and I take a seat but keep my eyes on the reception desk waiting for her to come back. It seemed like forever but she she finally called me over. "Miss Mills is almost done with her exam and asked if you'd wait out here for her".   I'm a little disappointed but I thank her and sit down in the waiting room. About 20 minutes later I see Regina walk out.  "Babe are you ok?"   "Yes I think so my love. Let's go home".
