Hi everybody! After the last episode, I know we all were dying to see more of the scene between Robin and Regina in the hospital when Robin is holding his newborn baby girl. This is just my take on Regina's thoughts during that short scene, all written from her point of view. Again, this is just a short one-shot on my take of Regina's emotions. I love to hear all of your thoughts and reviews. Hope you enjoy!
"It's all gonna be okay," I whisper to myself, throwing a fake smile over my shoulder to the former princess, who stood readily worried about me.
"Together," He'd said, squeezing my hand as he sat across the diner booth.
We'd get through it together. We could face anything together.
But that simple word didn't bring much comfort right now...
My hand reaching for the knob to the door is shaking, as if preparing for an electric shock the metal would shoot through my arm. The turn of the knob, the push of this door, and I will be left to face what I can no longer deny.
The love of my life, the man deemed my soulmate by magic is beyond this door. So why does my body feel paralyzed?
Pulling in a sharp breath, I force my hand forward, turning the knob slowly to ease my racing heart. I peak my eyes around the doorway, and spot him.
The now blond haired man, blue scrubs, passing the tiny bundle of new life into my love's arms. The smile on his face... That beautiful smile, like the sun amiss the clouds.
A soft click of my jet black heel, daring to shorten the space between him and I, catches his attention. That same paralyzed feeling trying to overcome me again, but I force another step further into the room.
Why does a part of me feel proud? And why does another part feel as if my entire world has stopped? My heart dropping out of my chest, to the floor, and shattering to a million tiny bits?
But that dimpled, vividly bright smile, forces one of my own that I cannot deny. Even through the stiff, wide smile, I am proud, in some way that I can't understand.
Yet I also feel as if I'm breaking apart, in these few short moments, and Robin would never know.
There is no denying that this man, with his precious baby girl curled close to his chest, was a sight anyone could swoon at. A sight that nearly brings tears to my eyes. To see him so unmistakably happy and proud, it's something that brings happiness into my own heart.
But these tears, stinging in the back of my eyes, suddenly hold a new meaning.
That beautiful, one of a kind smile that adorns Robin's lips is something that I can never be the cause of. Never can I give him what he holds in his arms now. Never can I share that same feeling, holding your own beloved bundle of joy for the very first time.
It'll be okay. I try to tell myself again. It's all gonna be okay.
