SubTitle: Truth Serum

Queen Regina woke from her sleep, to be greeted by Andrew. Remembering the events of the prior day she asked if it were all a bad dream. Andy assured her it was reality. It saddened the Queen, who immediately picked up the phone to drop the charges she filed against Old Tymer.
Word came to the castle of the Mick's return. Regina seemed to light up at the mention of his name. In her eight month now, she could hardly get on her feet without help. Without Old Tymer around she found it difficult to maneuver through her daily routines. She hadn't realized how much her dear friend did for her. After struggling with a shower, and dressing herself, she slipped her feet into her slippers (there was no way she would be able to get her foot up close enough to put her shoes on).
She waddled to the almost completed nursery. She just couldn't understand why OT decided to put so many rockingchairs, and bassinets in it. OT (know for her ability to stretch the truth) convinced her it was to help stimulate the baby's development.
Regina's back really was bothering her. Soon it radiated to her abdomen. She called Doc S. from the basement. He spent a lot of time down there doing what, nobody knew. He checked her. They were contractions, he confirmed. Now the Doc in no way wanted the Queen to deliever....not yet. He felt he was close to discovering where the treasure may be. He placed her in bed, and gave her some powerful sedation. There had been times when this medication would completely stop the labor in some of his "clients" when given.
As the medication took effect Regina started to mumble. At first she talked about daily events, then she started to reveal her deepest darkest secrets. Being alone in the room with her doc started questionong her about the treasure. Since she didn't know where it was there was no information she could share about it. Suddenly she blurted out something about a ring. It was difficult to understand her, due to slurred speech. After talking about the writing engraved in it , she told how it dissapearred,that it may hold the answer to where the treasure may be, and how she got regained posession of it, by buying it for 20.00 from a guy on the street. She grew more and more groggy, making it harder to interpert what she was saying. he tried to get her to tell its present location but. she was saying something about..what was that...the King may not be father of her unborn child. The Doc put his ear closer, as he asked who might the father be...MMMM was all she could muster, before falling into a deep sleep. The labor had stopped.
