#OQHappyEndingWeek - A series where Regina and & Robin finally get there happy ending!. Sorry for hopping in so late. | Pre-curse - Cora gives both Regina and Robin her blessing to be together as a real couple.|

"Mother please listen to me." The young brunette plees to her mother Cora when she spots her daughter with the outlaw peasant with the lion tattoo. She was less than thrilled to see her child with a thief. She expected more out of her, 'foolish' and 'naive' little girl that never learns.

Robin stood by Regina's side, holds her in his embrace. He saw just how much she was losing to her own mother. He wanted her to fight with kindness and courage that sparked deep in her throat.

"Love is weakness Regina!." The red headed mother yells in objection to her child's non-stop whining. She had no problem crushing the stable boys heart, she will crush this peasants heart into sand if necessary.

"Stay strong Regina." A strong voice firmly whispers in her ears. She was tired of fighting for her mothers approval. She wasn't interested in the boys that were arranged by shady deals and trades.

"I love him." The brunette hisses through her teeth, hoping and praying that someone would listen. She loved him with her whole soul, there love was pure magic. Something that she had come to find once she opened up to him.

Robin just held onto her slim waist trying to help her in way he could. He wasn't a fan of her mother from the awful stories she would tell him. He saw the rough life she lived day by day in a split second.

Cora paused in the middle for 2.5 minutes to see the love that was in her daughter's eyes. She didn't want to lose her forever. She put away her magic and lets out a small sigh "This will make you happy?."

"It already has."

A glimmer of hope sparkles in Regina's hazel eyes as her mother finally calms down and pays attention to what she says. Cora glances back towards the young boy who faced her head on without running like a coward spoke loud and clear that maybe she was to harsh on them.

"Maybe I have been rough on the both of you. I only want what is best for my only child. To see her so happy with you is rare, I would hate to stand in the way."

Regina removes Robins tightly knit grip and goes over to her mother, hugs her. She fell into her warm chest as Cora stroked her hair. She was proud of the young woman she was becoming. She was proud in her own ways one that were shown differently than most parents, on the flip side she would never be a spitting image that reflected the darker sides of the moon.

"Thank you mother."

"You're welcome sweetheart. I hope you can forgive me."

Robin smiles warmly at Cora, pulls the older woman into his arms. He finally won the beast who turned into a stunning queen instead of a prince that learned how to love after it was earned in return. Regina walked back to her boyfriend, leans on his shoulders and listens to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.
