Hey my dear and lovely and loyal friends!

As I promised, I do have a surprise for you and I hope you'll like it as much as I am impatient to share it with you! So, one or two years ago, I made an OQ Advent Calendar and a lot of you had loved it, so I thought... Why not doing one again this year? :D

So, this is with the greatest pleasure that I officially declare this OQ Advent Calendar 2.0 open! We'll wait for Christmas together, my friends ! :D 3

Now, I do hope you're happy and I hope you will enjoy this !

I love you all, this is a gift to thank you for always being there, for your love&support.

PS: This has no link with the show ( as I already said, I'm not watching it anymore. As far as I'm concerned, the show ended after 5x02.) but this is in our time, Robin and Regina had their fair share of troubles in the past ( and you'll learn more about it, I promise ;) ) but now they are learning how to be a family with their sons and loving every moment of it !

Hope you'll like it !

1st of December:

Regina was asleep when she felt the bed dip and two warm arms settled around her waist, she hummed sleepily and heard the low chuckle of the man she loved, heard his whispered Go back to sleep, my love. It's rather late.

"Where have you been?" she mumbled and he nuzzled her neck tenderly.

"Roland was having a nightmare." she started to raise and he smiled lovingly but kept her on the bed, adding. "He has fallen back to sleep, don't worry."

She let herself fall back on the bed, and a minute passed.

That was something she still had not dared to ask him.

She was too afraid of the answer...

They had been married for two years now, together for more than that even after all the heartbreak they had to go through.

He had broken her heart more times than once, she had broken his, too. She knew it.

They had had some difficult talk, talks she wished never to have again..

And yet,

She had never been more scared than right now.

For this particuliar talk.

"Robin?" she whispered and she was awaken, anxious about what she was about to ask him.

"Hm." he hummed and she realized her was ready to fall back to sleep.

"Do you think I'm overstepping with Roland?"

And then,

She felt him freeze.

He actually froze.

"Regina..." he started and she turned around in his arms, saw him frowning.

"Let me explain myself, please."

He hesitated but then nodded and she raised a hand to stroke his stubbled jaw, finding comfort in the natural of the action as he leant slightly into her hand.

He kissed gently her hand and she smiled at the action.

Her foolishly romantic thief.

"What I mean is ... I know he is your son, and I don't want to steal that away from you. You're his father and you're taking the decision that you think are good for him, and I feel like maybe I shouldn't-"

But she had no time to finish.

Because Robin had crashed his mouth on hers, and she whimpered slightly while he deepened the kiss.

They were breathless when they receded.

"I don't ever want to hear such nonsense again..." he breathed and she smiled sadly. Robin took her left hand and kissed it, fingers stroking her wedding band and her eyes were shining with unshed tears. " Do you understand me? We are a family, Regina. You, Henry, Roland and I. A family. With all that it involves... That also means that we take the decision together concerning our children and our family. End of the discussion."

A tear escaped her eyes.

She had not realized that it was exactly what she had needed to hear.

Just to be sure.

"I love you." she let out and he smiled, dimples deepening.

"And I love you too, so bloody much..."

She laughed and kissed him back,

They wouldn't always agree on how to raise their children after that, they would even sometimes argue and shout...

But they would do it together.

And that was what mattered the most in the end.
