Next chapter, and we finally enter the second trimester! So their will be doses of some fluff, but drama will be coming eventually.

Blue eyes lazily gazed at the night sky through the taxi's dusty window. Just another date with her girlfriend Bloody Mary. Christ, that felt so odd to say let alone think. It's been awhile since she been in a relationship, it was still something Snow was getting used to. It felt so odd to have someone bring her flowers, take her out to dinner, and hold her hand. It took her awhile to realize she was in fact dating someone after the divorce with Prince Charming.

She accidentally let out a sleepy yawn, Snow didn't get much sleep the night before, and now it was rather late.

"Tired?" Mary asked.

"A little, sorry." Snow apologized.

"Snow, you been looking like you might pass out for the past hour. Look why don't you just crash at my place? It's closer anyway."

Not feeling like she might vomit was like winning the lottery to Bloody Mary, she eventually got around to reading the books and apparently this was what was glad the honeymoon period of pregnancy. And sure enough it was the best she felt in awhile. Nausea was VERY rare, so that meant no more sour foods to suck on , which was sure as hell fine by her. The taste buds on her tongue we're beginning to hurt. And it was great to not have to worry about if her clothes could conceal a little curve.

A small sigh left her mouth as she folded yet pair of jeans, course once news got around she was more or less forbidden from heavy lifting. Although nice it made work rather boring , just folding articles of clothing for hours on end until it was break time or time to leave.

"Need a break? I can cover for you." offered Beauty.

After the little Greenleaf incident as soon as she and Snow White made up Mary made sure to apologize abd assure Beauty and Beast they did nothing wrong.

"No, I can manage." Mary replied as she folded yet another pair of jeans.

"Did you bring the pictures? I been dying to see them." her co-worker gushed.

An amuse chuckle came from Mary, not only was Beauty the most nosy about the whole ordeal but she was also the most happy for them.

"Of course I would, you been asking to see then for ages." digging into the pocket of her pants she retrieved an ultrasound picture.

"He? It's a boy?!" Beauty asked going over the picture.

"We're keeping it a surprise, but me and Snow betted on the gender. I think it's a boy."

"Your idea?"

"Yup."

"Of course, only you would bet on your child's gender." Beauty chuckled.

"You want in?" Bloody Mary offered. "I could always use the extra cash you know."

"Really?"

"Don't act like you don't want too." she teased.

"Oh alright..." Beauty dug into her pockets and pulled out a couple crumpled bills. "Stand up for a second."

"Why?" Mary raised an eye brow as she stood up, already wanting to sit back down, compared to the last month she certainly grown. Half the time she was expecting Swineheart to declare there was two little shits.

Beauty circled around Mary , as if inspecting her.

"Beauty, what the hell are you doing? " Mary asked, barely able to contain a snort of amusement.

"They say if your carrying high it's a guy, and wide for a girl... Still a bit too early to tell though..." Beauty's brows buckled as she paused to think. "Okay I'm betting on a girl.. . No wait boy... Girl... No wait, yeah a girl." her co-worker finally confirmed handing the wad of cash to Bloody Mary "I'm betting it's a girl."

"Snow thinks the same thing." Mary scoffed sitting back down then glanced at the clock. "Tim said he was coming with lunch right? I swear to god if you guys ordered-"

"Anything with garlic, we know Mary."

Despite her nausea going away greatly the very scent of garlic still made her feel like vomiting.

"Ugh, even saying the word makes me feel sick." Bloody Mary groaned then noticed Tiny Tim entering the store. "Speak of the devil." she mused as Tim slid a cardboard container her way.

"Cinnamon bun for you, and that new Sushi place that opened for me and Beauty." Tim said handing Beauty a plastic container containing a vast variety of sushi and a pair of wooden chopsticks.

"A cinnamon bun? For lunch?" Beauty raised an eye brow as she open the lid on her container.

"Snow's trying to get us on a health kick, and I can't live on just carrot sticks." Mary explained picking at the pastry. "And just when I got a sweet tooth."

"I thought you weren't a picky eater though?" Tim brought up through a mouthful of California roll.

"I'm not, but seriously Tim, which would you rather have? A apple or a slice of bundt cake?"

"Good point."

"Besides, not like there's much I can eat or drink anyway. No alcohol, deli meats, runny eggs, sushi." with that final one Tim and Beauty glanced down at their food, rather guilty expressions on their face.

Bloody Mary let out a amused chuckle.

"It's fine guys, really. I never cared much for sushi anyway."

"Oh thank god," Beauty sighed in relive. "Garlic is one thing but I doubt I could survive without my salmon roe." she replied while applying a hefty amount of wasabi. It was unknown how Beauty out of everyone she knew seemed to have such an immunity to spice.

"I feel you, it's hard to even picture my life without my usual cup of coffee, and for nine months plus whenever the little shit's done nursing? I envy you right now." she pulled off a chuck of the pastry and popped it in her mouth.

"Speaking of the 'little shit', have you two picked up any names for her or him? I know it's early but still." Beauty asked.

"Not really... We both kind of like David and Lynn for middle names, but we never really talked much about first names." Mary gave a shrug of her shoulders. "Chances are if I bring it up the first thing she'll do is spend at least two hundred dollars on baby name books." she scoffed.

"She's just nervous, you know how she is. Always wanting to be prepared." Tim pipped in, pouring soy sauce on the white rice that held the filling together.

"Chances are she's more worried then me." Mary licked some frosting off her finger.

"You can't blame her, it's your guy's first kid... And well for Snow..." Beauty trailed off.

"Go on, trust me. I may be loaded to the brim with hormones but I can take it." Bloody Mary reassured.

"Okay then..." Beauty took a deep breath, like she was about to give a long speech. "Has it been...hard for her?"

"She isn't the pregnant one so I doubt it."

"That wasn't what I meant... Look, I know it's none if my business and if it's too personal I understand... But what I meant was, Snow's been through in vitro quite a few times trying to get pregnant... And when she had no luck you finally gave it a try and on the first shot it worked. Has she showed any... Jealously? Or sadness over it?" Beauty glanced away from Her. "If it's too personal I understand."

Now this thought caused her to think a bit, it haven't struck her that Snow might feel like that. Trying to think from Snow's point of view it did seem rather heartbreaking and unfair, Snow having no luck over and over again while she managed to on the very first try. But Snow always seems happy about the whole ordeal and was constantly worrying about every detail.

"I think it doesn't matter who carried the child, long as we're getting a kid in the end we're both good." Mary replied.

"Well I'm happy for you two, knowing you two make one hell of a couple I know you're be one hell of a set of parents." Beauty said, a warm smile on her face. "I can't picture you two with anyone else."

An relief sigh came from Snow White as she made her way back home. Another long day at work, all she wanted to do was hit the sack and sleep, and enjoy her day off when it came. Once the elevator came to a stop she walked quiet hallways until she reached her apartment.

"Finally you're back!" Bloody Mary mused happily, getting up from the couch.

"You seem more excited then usual." Snow raised an eye brow, setting her blazer aside.

"I'm bored without you." she whined like a child while hugging Snow.

"You won't be saying that five months from now." a soft chuckle as Mary nibbled on her ear.

"Not tonight, I'm too tired and I had nothing but microwaveable food all day at work."

"So much for you're little health kick." Mary chuckled. "Come on Snowball, let's get you to bed."

"Whatever you say preggers." Snow mused as they left the living room and entered their rather messy bedroom. They were still in the process of rearranging the furniture to make room for a crib, which Bigby promise to come over and build.

Snow stripped herself of her clothes and then slipped on a blue night gown.

"Hey Snowy," Mary called, clad in a pair of dark purple pyjamas bottoms and an black oversize T-shirt with a band logo on the front. She rolled the the shirt, revealing the small bump that was her belly. "you got to check this out." taking ahold of her hand she brought it to her stomach.

Snow await for whatever gotten Bloody Mary enthusiasm up at this hour. Her bright blue eyes widen one she felt... a pulse like movement, shortly fallowed by another one afterwards.

"Hiccups, read it in the books you got." Mary explained as as Snow smile.

"You finally got around to reading them?"

"Well duh, I would actually like to get a good sense of what's the fuck is happening to my body." she rolled her eyes.

Snow drew her hand back and the two slipped under the satin sheets.

"You had an appointment with Swineheart today right?" Snow asked as Mary rested her head on her shoulder.

"Yeah, at the fourth month mark you can finally tell the little shit's gender." she replied.

"Did you?"

"Did I what?"

"Find out the gender?"

"What?! Of course not, we agreed to keep it a surprise, remember?" Bloody Mary reminded. "You think I would lie to you?"

"Of course not, be it is rather tempting." Snow muttered and glanced at the swell of her lover's stomach. Curiosity was starting to eat her up, it felt like waiting for Christmas presents.

"Well four months from now we're know. Night Snowball."

"Night Mary."

Okay NEXT chapter we're know the gender, I know you all been waiting for that. :D
