True love

Regina

I wake up in a tangle of sheets my head pounding loudly like a drum against my skull. I sit up carefully but quickly regret the sudden movement and grab the bowl that's beside me, hurling into it violently, slightly confused as to what's going on.

After a few minutes, it finally subsides and I shrink back into the pillows, frowning in confusion as to why I'm so sick. Then I remember earlier, what seemed like a dream, isn't a dream, it's reality. I was hoping it was a dream- that I wouldn't have to do this alone, without Robin, without my soulmate. Do I tell him? Or do I keep it from him and just avoid him? Hell all I want to do is avoid him, let him get on with his life with Marian and Roland- that would be the right thing to do, to let him be happy. But his child, what about his unborn child? Do they have to grow up without a father?

My thoughts are interrupted as the door opens, Zelena walking into the room, a gentle smile on her face.

"Hey" she whispers, placing a glass of water on the side

"Hey" I whisper back, my voice croaky from sleep

"How are you feeling?" she asks

"Like I'm living a nightmare" I sigh

"Come on, don't say that, everything's going to be okay" she reassures me

"How do you know? I don't have Robin, I lost him to Marian, I'm alone with his unborn child, unprepared and I don't know what to do! I can't do this, I was an awful mother to Henry, I made so many mistakes and that drove him away, what if I make the same mistake with this child?" I blurt

"Regina, you don't need Robin, you can be a wonderful mother without Robin, being pregnant may be scary when you think you're alone, but you aren't alone, not while I'm around! You raised Henry perfectly well on your own and he loves you with all his heart, you didn't drive him away and you won't with this child! You know why? Because you're strong, you don't need anyone to be a mother, you understand me?" she whispers

I sit up and wrap my arms around her tightly, my tears staining her shirt.

"I love you" I sigh

"I love you too" she sighs back

"Now get dressed, we have some food shopping to do" she adds, standing up

"Food shopping? There's food in the kitchen" I frown

"Not ice cream" she giggles, walking out, leaving a smile on my face as I stand up to get ready
