AN:This idea came to me last night and I'm so excited for you guys to read it!I think it's really good and I'm really happy with how it turned out and yeah! In which Regina wrote a letter when she was seventeen to her future husband and gives it to Robin their wedding night. I hope you enjoy this :)


No Zelena/baby mess, sorry but the whole thing (in my own personal opinion, of course) ruins the ship, Marian is briefly mentioned but I'm just pretending like 3x22 happened but after Marian learned that Robin was in love with someone else she like choose to somehow go back to her own timeline where Robin actually loved her and accepted her fate. I don't really care because EWWW Marian.


Hawaii of all places, it was perfect. What was a better place to spend their honeymoon. Regina and Robin exit the cab thanking the driver, taking in the beach smell of it all. Looking at what would be their new home for the week.

Although most honeymoons were a minimum of two weeks for most couples, one week would have to work. With Henry and Roland they couldn't stay for long. But with the large house just a mere few feet from their own private beach it wasn't like Robin or Regina were going to complain.

He carries her bridal style over the threshold of the house. It was tradition and wasn't one Robin wanted to forego. They leave their luggage for the time being outside, eager to explore their new home and find the master bedroom.

They of course had sex before but had yet to consummate their marriage and both were eager to. Regina was eager, her last marriage wasn't by choice and the duties of being Leopold's wife weren't consensual nor enjoyable by any means. But with Robin, it was the first sexual experience she had in decades where she felt so loved and wanted.

She didn't have much to do, she waxed her legs before the wedding so that was one less thing to do. She had planned before, all she had to do was wipe away her face of makeup, it was a pity really, Tink had spent at least four hours making sure she looked perfect for her special day.

It was a truly magical wedding, one she used to dream about sharing with Daniel all those years ago. Marrying someone who loved her as much as she loved him, being surrounded by those who loved her. Although her father couldn't walk her down the aisle, Henry did and she wouldn't wish for it to be any different.

She had come along way from her Evil Queen days, Tinkerbell being her maid of honor (although it was more self appointed than anything but she had met Robin because of her so she didn't argue) she was hesitate to ask Snow but it seemed fitting and a step in the right direction. Emma too even, although she would always have her differences with the blonde they had a lot in common, including their love for Henry.

She's pulling pins from the undo Snow gave her and shakes her head letting her dark tresses fall down naturally. Robin liked it better down anyway. She had something for him but she wasn't sure what he'd think. It wasn't like she gave it to Leopold, he would have laughed in her face and thrown it in the fire. But she kept it after all this time.

The amount of time she almost burnt it she couldn't remember. At least three times after Daniel's death, another few times after her marriage with Leopold, once or twice when she became the Evil Queen. A few more before she cast the dark curse, when she adopted Henry. Then it laid forgotten until Daniel came back in the stables. And lastly when Marian came back.

She was glad she held on to it, it would mean more giving it to Robin. And she would.

Regina exits the en suite, clad in the dress she wore to the reception, bare foot, making their obvious height difference seem ever larger.

"You look beautiful, Wife" He says, his eyes all over her figure. She smiles, toady she was his wife and would be for the rest of her life. Just the thought made her smile. "You look handsome husband"

He walks to her, closing the gap between their lips. Regina sighs into his mouth, but before they got in bed she wanted to give it to him before they started. She pulls away, laughing lightly at his groan of protest. "before we start I have something for you, wait here"

Robin sighs but releases his hold on her, placing a kiss on her brow, murmuring an 'I love you' before she leaves the room. She's quick, she knew exactly where the letter was, just in the front pocket of her suitcase. She's back in a minute holding the letter up.

"This is for you, I wrote it when I was seventeen, just a few weeks away from being eighteen" She hands it to him. They sit on the bed and she watches his expression carefully, watching his careful fingers that fired so many arrows from his bow, open the wax seal.


Dear Future Husband,

My names Regina Mills, which of course you already know, or at least I hope you know. I really pray that you are not one of the many, considerably older suitors my mother keeps trying to set me up with. I want to marry for love. Mother thinks love is weakness, I don't think it is. She wants me to marry someone with a lot of power, I don't care but it matters to her so I don't say anything.

I can't wait to meet you, or maybe I already have...I really hope is this Daniel Colter reading this. Mother doesn't know of course, if she did she would lose her mind I'm sure but I'm secretly courting him-maybe you. I really hope it you, Daniel, another secret I've been keeping from my mother but...I'm in love with him. But it's hard keeping it a secret.

He's well, just a stable boy and I'm above that (according to my mother) I don't care though, he loves me and I love him and that's all that matters. I don't care that he's a stable boy, I love horses and he's more than that to me. Daniel told me that true love is the most powerful magic of all and I believe him. I of course know a lot about magic, my mother uses it on me sometimes. It scares me and I hope that I never become her.

Daniel and my father too, they say it's not possible, that I'm too kind, that my hearts to pure and light for that and I hope their right. Another thing I've been keeping from my mother but I plan to runaway with Daniel, if this is Daniel reading this it means we made it! That we escaped the clutches of my mother and we are husband and wife and we're happy together.

If this isn't Daniel, then well...sorry, you just heard me gush about Daniel for what seems forever. But because we are married than I love you so there's nothing to worry about. But as of now I am in love with Daniel, I hope you don't mind too much.

I can't wait to meet you, you must know everything about me and I know nothing of you. Sometimes at night I dream about what you must look like, if you are kind and compassionate. It would be strange if you weren't, I would never marry someone who wasn't those things. But then again my mother. Granted if this was an arranged marriage courtesy of my mother I doubt you wold be reading this.

By now you are probably wondering what my mother is like if you've never met her. She can be quite strict but she's my mother and I love her of course. I think she loves me, if she does she's never told me. I think that's why I work so hard for her approval. I want her to be proud of me and love me. Don't worry though, I am stilled loved, by Daniel and of course my father.

My father is a wonderful father, I think it's hard for him, to watch him see his own wife criticize me. He tells me he loves me all the time though. I do still want my mothers love but at least I have his. I don't think my parents love each other, I hear them fight a lot. Well actually its more of my mother yelling at him and him just taking it all. I think that's why I have to marry for love. I can't imagine living in a house all the time with someone I don't love. I'd go mad.

But despite it all I do believe in true love. If this isn't Daniel I hoped you feel the same way as me. Someone once told me that unrequited love was the worst kind of love. I can't imagine. I know love hurts and I know it's unrealistic to hope but I hope that I never have my heart broken. Although i's bound to happen. If this isn't Daniel, my beloved stable boy reading this then well, my hearts been broken.

Last year I stared feeling insecure about something, my mother slapped me, I was just trying to help but I got in her way. She said I deserved it and I think I did. Now everyday I'm paying the price for it. When she it me her ring caught on my lip and made a cut. Now I have to deal with this ugly cut on the top of my lip. It doesn't hurt but having it makes me feel ugly.

It just scared over a few weeks ago...Daniel assures me that I'm still beautiful with the scar and that he loves me no matter what. I don't know if I believe him, I wish I did, and Daniel never lies so he must mean it but that doesn't stop me from feeling this way. Because you're my husband so you've seen the scar, do you think it's ugly? Do you hate it? Do you think I'm ugly because of it?

I hope you like children, I really want a few of my own, at least two. I don't want a girl, and if you do I'm sorry and maybe my minds changed since I've grown up. But I can't be a mother to a little girl. It would be to hard. It would make me like her, my mother. I, of course love my mother but I don't love the way she raised me. I can't raise a girl but I do want little boys!

I haven't really thought of any names yet but I'm sure I have some now that I'm older! I want to raise my kids the way I wish I was raised, with more freedom, and affection. I wouldn't go a day without telling them I loved them. I hope you would too! But I think I have good taste in men and that you guy would be great father.

I dream about you all the time, about the little things. Do you hold me at night when we sleep? I hope you do, Daniel did a few times when my parents were gone for a few days ad I loved it. But it's too risky now, I really hope you do hold me. Sometimes I have nightmares and having someone there to assure me that everything okay is the best at making me feel better.

Daniel when he could would tell me a story or sing a song, that would help and I hope it's something you do too. Do you like horse back ridding, I love it. Maybe its one of the reasons I fell for a stable boy. I love ridding bare back, without a saddle, it makes me feel free and like nothing's holding me back. I also never side saddle, you can't jump or race when you ride side saddle.

I hope you aren't like my mother and scoff upon learning of this. Just because I supposed to be a lady doesn't mean I can't ride. I love ridding bareback and sometimes Daniel goes with me on a rare treat alone. We race and have lots of fun. He usually wins but I've gotten so much better. Maybe me and you can go on a romantic ride at night together.

I have another secret, one I hope you aren't mad about, but I'm not a virgin. I know I'm supposed to wait until I'm a married woman but I couldn't. What if my mother makes me marry someone I don't love? I don't want my first time to be with someone I don't love. It was when my parents we're out in some other kingdom for a few days so me and Daniel just did it.

He was very gentle and patient and it meant so much to me. We had a great night together and after that I fell asleep in his arms. He was prefect, and I hope you're not offend because you weren't my first. I don't regret it, I lost my virginity to someone who loves me and I don't regret that. He did make me bleed but I read in some book that it happens to all girls on their first time.

It was a little uncomfortable and hurt at first but Daniel took his time and it stared to feel really good...I hope you're not mad ad if you are well I'm sorry and I wouldn't take it back.

I wish I knew more about you...I am after all going to spend the rest of my life with you. I hope we make each other happy. And that we never fall out of love. I know this sounds like silly ramblings of a love struck girl but..I hope that whenever I see you my heart skips a beat and that you love me even when we disagree. I hope you never raise you're voice at me even when you're really mad. But more than anything I hope that you love me as much I will surely love you.

Sincerely,

Your Wife, Regina Mills.


There's a five minute span of time where the only noise is the sound of them breathing, Robin taking in seventeen year old Regina, sitting with a considerably older Regina. And Regina was watching Robin carefully, watching his facial expressions carefully.

Regina could probably recite the letter from memory if she so choose, she had read it to herself more times than she could count. Each time remembering how naive she used to be, thinking that she could marry a stable boy on her own terms. Of course she couldn't.

She shouldn't have given him the letter, he was probably ready to run away at this point. She hoped he wouldn't judge her ramblings of Daniel, at the time she was so in love with him. She, at the time was fully convinced that she would be eventually giving the letter to Daniel to read. It didn't ended like that.

Robin on the other hand was lost in the thoughts and hopes of young Regina, how easily she opened up about everything she wanted. How much she was different to the Regina was she married. He knew her own mother and her life changed her but he never realized how much until now. He knew what he had to do.

He stands up with out another word telling her "Give me 30 minutes I'll be back, true me please" He leaves the room with Regina wonder what on earth her was doing. But she waits patiently, he asked her too. Time seemed to pass faster than earlier. She reads her own letter again. Was he secretly packing his bags to leave her because she was perhaps too bold in her hopes as a teen?

But he's back before she know it and this time he's holding his own letter.

"I know I can't give it to past you but can you read it as if you were seventeen again?" She raises an eyebrow but takes the letter, reading it.


Dear Regina,

Hi my name is Robin Locksley, also known a Robin Hood and I am your soulmate and now husband. Your future self is reading this as we speak on our wedding night. I am not Daniel, I hope that doesn't hurt you too much. True love is the most powerful magic of all, although it does take you some time to truly believe it. I am not as one would say of your social class.

I am a thief but I steal form the rich and give to the poor. You are not you're mother and never will be. And although I am not Daniel I can assure you that we are similar in how much we love you. I can assume you that you indeed married me for love as did I. I hate to say it though but love does it hurt, and it has hurt you way too much.

I don't have many regrets but one of my biggest regrets of my life is breaking your heart, but we're stronger because of it and I won you back. Love for you is harder than it is for others but it makes having it mean so much more.

But you've become stronger because of it an all the more deserving of love. Although you have been hurt by love you have been blessed by it. Daniel, although you two didn't get the life I'm sure you dreamed about but it's okay because you got a second chance. You changed after his death but you became the woman I fell in love with.

I for one love your scar, I think it makes you ten time more beautiful and I can promise you that Daniel wasn't lying to you. Your scar alone made me fall in love with you. And Regina, my dear, you could never be ugly, you are beautiful on the inside an out. I promise. In fact out of fear you won't belie me I will list all the reasons you're beautiful.

One, your hair, it's shorter now but still just as beautiful, I love playing with it and you often comment on my lack of self control with your hair. It's soft and silky and I love running my fingers through it. I think I might be obsessed with touching it, whenever we are together I tend to gravitate towards it, it always, always looks beautiful even of you just let it be.

Two, your smile, when you smile, a real genuine smile I swear its one of the most beautiful things in the world. In fact one of my favorite things to do is whenever I'm with you, try to find a way to make you smile. I like to think I'm really good at it too. You have been hurt in your life and there was a point in your life when you couldn't smile but now I see you smile much more. Good. You deserve to be happy, seeing you be happy and smile is one of the most beautiful thing in the world.

Three, your lips, I love you lips, they look and taste delicious. Kissing you is my drug, without it I can't seem to function. And you of course know it and love to tease me by painting them different tempting colors every time we go out. A dark plum, a wine red, this irresistible bright red that you redid I believe it was three time? Just because I couldn't stop kissing you because your lips looked delectable in the color. But even when you don't have lipstick on I love kissing you.

Four, your eyes, they are beautiful, they really are, the are the color of whiskey and I love them. They way you look at me with love in your yes, it's sight I will never get bored of seeing. Although to be fair I could never get bored from any part of you. It's sort of tragic really how beautiful your eyes are, sometimes I get lost in them and I forget that your talking to me. Usually you just swat me a little and I break from the trance of your beautiful eyes.

Five, your scar, your scar is a more physical reminder of all that you've been through, but it healed like you have. I love your scar, I love touching it with my fingers before I kiss you. I don't think you're insecure about it anymore, I tell you that your beautiful so much that it drive you cray but I know you secretly love it. I love the scar because it's part of you and I love you.

I could go on and on I'm sure about how beautiful you are although I can't because future you is waiting for me to come back. I just read your letter to me and I needed to write to you. Although I couldn't list everything thing that makes me you beautiful because I'm sure the world doesn't have enough paper for that but do know that you are beautiful inside and out.

About children..I love children and although you're scared that you couldn't raise a little girl I promise you, you could. Although you don't have to worry about that. You adopted your son Henry fourteen, almost fifteen years ago and you love him more than anything. He is your saving grace and he loves you so much. You guys have a beautiful mother son relationship that I love.

Although he isn't your biologically it never bothered you, you will always be his mother and whatever any one else says against it I can promise you they are wrong. When you lost him for a year you're world stopped turning, you guys love each other so much and you would willingly lay down your life to save him. You did raise him the way you wished to be raised.

You always tell him you love him even when you guys fight, you however him with affection and praise, you raised a prefect child. He's kind, sweet, brave, smart, unique and has one of the purest hearts. That was all you, you taught him to be kind ad sweet and he had the childhood I'm sure you dreamed of.

I also have a son, with someone else but you look at him like a son and he calls you mom so you are his mom. Blood or not. His name is Roland and you love him. He lived his first few years of his life without a other ad then you came in and you gave him a maternal figure he quickly latched on to. He adores you and you love him. Henry and Roland play all the time together and consider each other brothers.

I do hold you at night if you must know, and don't worry I always soothe your nightmares. Although I've never sang to you or told you stories now I know that it works for you and you like it, I'll be sure to try. I do like horse back ridding, not as much as you though. Although after a bad experience you told me about you haven't been in the stables for awhile but I want for you to be able to soon.

I know you love ridding and I would never judge you for preferring to ride bareback, I would love to race you although I'm not too the best and you would easily win any races. But for you anything. I would love to ride with you at night, that would be very romantic, now that you mention it and get to planning right away.

And don't worry I don't mind that you're not a virgin, I'm not either and there's no shame in that. I'm glad your first time was with someone who loves you, who took care of your needs above their own. I try to do the same to you because you deserve it. even though you move on after Daniel's death you never forgot him, your son's full name being Henry Daniel Mills, you still have the ring he gave you.

I still see you hold it ad it never makes me mad. You put it on a chain and wear it as a necklace sometimes. He's always in your thoughts and sometimes talk of him. He never left your heart and you still love him with everything you have you just aren't in love with him anymore.

And it's not silly, trust me whenever I see you my heart skips a beat, I never yell at you and I always tell you I love you. We fight sometimes but it's okay, it's over small things and we know we love each other. I love Regina, and it will take you a long time for us to be together when we finally are I promise you it's worth it. Remember I love you.

Sincerely,

Your husband Robin Locksley


She can't stop the flow of tears that fall, only Robin would do something like this. It was a small gesture that meant the world to her. She wished she had this letter she held in her hands while she was in her forced marriage, while so was dealing with Daniel's death. She loved how he never said bad about Daniel, he knew how much he meant to her at the time and even now.

He was so honest about his feeling for her and reassured all her own fears. Could he be anymore prefect?

She hugs him, tears spilling out of her eyes, crying even harder when she feels a wetness on her shoulder. She wasn't the only one crying. She was glad that she gave him the letter and even happier that she got her own in return. It was therapeutic almost.

They soak up the moment and only pulling away when the tears have stopped. She holds his face in her hands, wondering how she was so lucky "Thank you"

"Anything for you" He says, kissing the tip of her nose. This certainly wasn't what either of them expected of their wedding night but it was perfect. "I love you, wife"

"I love you more, husband" She tells him, closing the gap between them. The shared more then sex that night. And when the couple returned to Storybrooke the following week both of them kept their letters in safe keeping, reading them to each other before they had went to bed become a nightly routine for them.


AN:AHHHHHHHH So fluffy I can't even function. And I fun fact have been writing this for the past three hours and I really, really wanted a snack but I was on a roll so I couldn't get one. So after I publish this the first thing I'm doing is going to get some food because I am so hungry. Anyway I think this was a super cute little one-shot, I just love the idea of Regina writing a letter to her future husband. I love fluff but I feel like I rarely write fluff, If you've read some of my work you'll notice I am kind of obsessed with angst.

I really loved this and I hope you did too, I worked really hard on this and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I love outlaw queen and the fact the they A killed Robin off! And B we didn't get an outlaw queen wedding is a crime on it's own. If you also love outlaw queen you should totally check out some of my work because most of it centers around them anyway!

Thank you so much for reading I worked really hard on it. I hoped you enjoyed it too, if you did please, please, please favorite, and review. I love hearing other peoples feedback it means the world and I read all the reviews that come in. It doesn't even have to be long, like just a sentence saying that you thought it was good, any and all of it means so much to me. So review! :)

P.S. There might be a few grammar mistakes I'm aware, but like I need some food but tomorrow I'll probably fix them all so yea. I'm to lazy and hungry to fix tem now but it will be all good tomorrow.

xoxo,
