Outlaw Queen: Thievery and Witchcraft

Being Scared

 The next morning Regina woke up considerably early. She as swiftly as she could with her bump got out of the bed and walked into Becs room and was not even surprised when she saw her daughter still asleep so early in the morning. Regina smiled and turned to make her way to the kitchen. When she arrived she heard faint sounds of laughter. As she approached she smiled even more to find Henry talking to Granny whilst helping her make breakfast.

"Mom! your awake!" Regina smiled and unconsciously rubbed her bump. 

"Yeah this one is trying out for the Olympics in here." Both Henry and Granny laughed and Granny helped Regina sit down. "Mom your  hair looks nice long you should keep it like that. Do you know what your going to call the new baby?" Regina had not forgotten how much of a morning person Henry was, he was like her....well her before she got pregnant and could barely sleep. "Henry I have no idea!"

"Well i can help with that." Regina laughed. 

"No offense my love but I think Robin and I will find a name.."

"But Mom! we could name her Apple! or Rhubarb?

"Henry I don't think..."
"KATNISS!!!!!!"
"OK no your done with the names." They all then fell into large fits of laughter and continued to make breakfast.

Later that morning, everybody was in the great hall eating breakfast, Regina and Henry however were yet to enter the room. "Robin wheres Regina? Is she ok? is the baby ok?" asked Snow. Robin looked up from Becs who was refusing to eat her porridge and had the food all down her dress. "She should be here any moment." As he said that the door opened and Regina walked in with her hands on her sons shoulders. "HENRY!!!" screeched Snow. She jumped up and ran towards her grandson and engulfed him in a hug. Soon everybody was hovered over him telling him how wonderful it was to see him.

"Henry wheres Emma?" Asked Snow realizing very quickly that her daughter was no where to be seen. "She lost somewhere in the Forest and we need to find her!!" Suddenly the entire room began to panic. "LOST! CHARMING WHAT DO WE DO!!" Robin was now standing by Regina and spoke to everybody. "We are going to find he so everybody calm down. From what I understand she has been here before, also there is no real threat in the kingdom so all we need to do it find her, and we shall do that today." Charming slapped Robins back. "No time like the present." The two men grinned and soon everybody was off and out in small search parties leaving Regina with Roland, Becs and Marcus.

It was now late afternoon and nobody had returned so Regina put Rebecca and Marcus down for a nap and Roland was baking with Granny. Regina heard a small cry and went in to see her little girl crying. As carefully as she could she picked up Rebecca and went into her bedroom and sat with Rebecca next to her as best she could with her bump on the bed. "Ok honey tell mommy whats wrong." Rebecca sniffled, "Come on honey." "
"There was a monster." Regina gasped and kissed her forehead.
"A Monster! well can I tell you my little princess a secret." The little girls head snapped up to look at her mother. With her cheeks still tear stained she managed a small smile. "Remember its a secret so you can't tell anybody....we all have special powers to get rid of monsters." Rebecca looked slightly confused. "If you ever see a monster in your dreams you just say BOO! and that is a magical word that all monsters are afraid of."
"BOO!" Screeched Becs making Regina giggle 
"That's right baby, BOO!" Regina then tickled Rebecca making her laugh even more. "But one more thing." Rebecca stopped and looked into her mothers eyes. "Sometimes its ok to be scared..because sometimes you have to be a little scared in order to be brave."

"Brave like Daddy?" 
"Exactly!" 
"I love you mommy" Regina smiled and hugged her princess. "I love you more."

Later that night Regina was sitting in bed when Robin walked in looking drained. "Did you find her!" Robin shook his head. "No..we are going to try again tomorrow. I just cant understand where she might have gone if they were in the same portal." Robin sat down on the edge of the bed and Regina got up onto her knees and waddled towards him and began to rub his back." Honey you will find her I know you will! I will have a look around the entire palace grounds with Snow tomorrow." 
Robin smiled and turned taking Regina in his arms and down onto the bed. "I love you Regina." She smiled and pulled him into a passionate kiss. "I love you too." 
"How was this one today? was she restless again?" Regina sighed. "The usual. Im just getting so tired much faster than I ever did with Becca." 
"Well with Becca you had magic, This one is literally draining everything out of you."
"Im just so tired...I just want to sleep without waking up, and be comfortable."
"Not long now babe just one month." Robin kissed Regina again.
"One month."
