Regina Mills couldnāt yet tell if moving away from the big city and into the mountain area of Colorado was the best or most stupid decision in her life. Although, the most stupid decision she ever made was possibly what caused her to move so far away in the first place. A lying, deceptive nostalgic ex who was full of lies and empty promises. Not that she regretted it, now that she was carrying the result of a reckless, passionate reunion with her high school sweetheart during one weekend sometime eight months ago. She hated Danielās guts for making her believe they could have a future together, but couldnāt regret the fact that she was about to become a mother. One thing was clear to her then - she couldnāt stay in the city. Daniel would never get to have any part in her life again, or her childās life, and while he no longer lived in Boston, Regina couldnāt risk another chance meeting with the man who broke her heart in more than one way. It was an extreme decision, the drastic change of environment, but one that Regina made with a clear mind. But her new life took a massive turn when she finally settled in: she was becoming a mother of two, and that was a twist she never anticipated. Life would surely be busy and hectic, but sheād find a way to cope, as always.
But as the weeks went by and the closer she got to the birth of her children, the terrified realization hit her... her life had just changed so drastically, and it was about to go under a massive change again. Not even the nursery was ready yet, because every time Regina tried, she was taken by an overwhelming feeling and it was difficult to breathe.
If that wasnāt enough, anxiety gripped her hard these past months. SeveralĀ braxton hicksĀ have sent her to the hospital and making Regina seem like an overly anxious mother-to-be (which, she was,) over these common false alarms. And yet, there she was again, just under three weeks after the last time, Regina rushed through the door of her apartment as she grabbed her hospital suitcase on her way out. Having twins, knowing she could go into an early labor was always a risk, but it was still a littleĀ too early even for an early labor and these false alarms were scary enough to cause Regina such a fright of a real emergency. Still, she attempted to remain calm this morning, when Regina woke up with an uncomfortable pain. She would have called her doctor, just to make sure this time, but something was different. It felt different, and the pain didnāt seem to cease. Damn, she was already that kind of stressed mother-to-be and it was embarrassing enough, but Regina didnāt want to risk wasting any more time on phone calls and waiting on the line to speak to her doctor. Her instincts kicked in and she simply grabbed the suitcase and walked out, anxiously waiting for the elevator as she nervously and protectively caressed her belly while the pain gradually increased. It felt like forever before the elevator was there, and Regina stepped inside and pressed the ground floor button.
