A:N This is my way of venting after sundays episode. They'll probably screw this up, but a girl can dream write? I could leave this as a one shot, but if some of you wish to see something else, or any promts im not opposed to them :)
"I'm pregnant"
…
Her sister finally got what she wanted. She had taken one of the things she loved the most and ruined it. Her soul mate was going to have a child with her sister.
The moment the words came out of her mouth, all she could do was to stare into the eyes of the man she thought she loved, the man who had chosen her, the man who held her heart, the man with the lion tattoo who promised her above all else that she was the one he wanted.
Why would he do this? She has spent the last two months with her heart aching for him, there wasn't a moment she didn't think about him, no night she didn't cry herself to sleep over the man she could not have. Life was cruel, she didn't deserve this, not after everything she's done to get here. Why. Why was this happening?
It was all too much, if her heart wasn't broken the day she watched him leave, she felt it shatter now. She was sad, angry, pissed, and all she wanted to do was to run, and get the hell out of this hell hole. She just spent the day in a car with Emma Swan, caught in the midst of a car chase, and stopped Emma from doing the unthinkable all to come a rescue the man she loved from her wicked sister, and now for him to have chosen "Marion." This had to be some sick and twisted joke, the Robin she knew wouldn't yell at her the way he did, questioning the truth behind her words. She just couldn't take it anymore.
Then the room started to close in on her, she snapped out of her haze, and turned around. She didn't know how she made it out of the room, her legs felt like they weighed a hundred pounds each, her head was spinning, she felt Emma and Lilly follow after her moments later, and then her world went black.
Her heart was breaking, and there was no way to fix it this time.

She was absolutely stunned. She has seen some fucked up things in her life, but this? This was just outright cruelty. She felt her guilt rise up, she knew if she hadn't brought this woman back, none of this would be happening, yet here she was, watching helplessly as her once enemy turned only friend was once again ripped away from her happiness. These dam Mills woman sure know how to do revenge she thought to herself. She's seen Regina go through a lot of things lately but she didn't how she was going to deal with this one, she's never seen Regina Mills break, but she was pretty sure this is where she would. How could he have done this? They were supposed to be soul mates, and now he's expecting a child with the woman he didn't choose before he left town? Zelena or not, he made his decision, he choose Regina, and after two months he just threw her away?
She moves forward to Zelena when Regina shuffles out of the room. She pushes Zelena to the wall, pregnant or not this green bitch tried to kill her son once, and places the cuff Regina brought onto her wrist. She looks into the eyes of a shocked Robin and tells him to restrain her.
Now, now she has to reach Regina, and when she sees her down the hallway leaning against the wall, she barely makes it in time for her and Lily to catch her before she's falls to the floor.

She woke up hours later in what seemed to be a hotel room, still dressed in the clothes she arrived in the city with. She didn't get up immediately, the room had a nice view of the outside world, a city bustling with anybody and everybody. The skies were grey, and it looked like how she felt inside. What was she going to do, for the past two months she held onto the belief that she could really have her happy ending, that Robin and Roland would be part of that.
Oh God Roland. Her sweet little boy, he didn't deserve this, the boy grew up without a mother, and now her damned sister has been posing as his. He didn't deserve this, hell Robin didn't deserve this. As angry as she was before, she knew now that this wasn't all of his fault. When he left Storybrooke he never expected to her again, so why wouldnt he try and make amends with the woman he thought to be his wife. It hurt like hell to admit this but she knew this was the truth. She couldn't blame him, it had been two months with the woman he thought was his wife. But the thought of them together is enough for her stomach to turn, and her heart to break once more.
She felt the tears pool in her eyes, ones she couldn't help but let fall, she turned into her side, pulled her knees to her chest and cried for the ending she'll never had.

She knew it was him before she felt him. She knew his scent, city or not he would always smell like forest. His touch felt like fire on her face as he brushed her hair to the side, and she cried harder. The weeks she spent craving his touch, and now she didn't even know how to feel. But the need to have him close, the need to apologize for ever having feelings for her, for loving her won. She blamed herself, her sister swore vengeance on her, and in the process took Robin down with her.
She turned her body to face him, and when brown eyes met blue, they showed the same story. She curled into him and cried, while he held her in a vice grip. She felt his tears dampen her hair. There was no need for words at this moment, they just needed to feel each other, and to take whatever comfort they could.
They spent the last hour just holding each other, the tears had stopped, and they just relished in their embrace. But the silence was become louder and suffocating. She withdrew from his embrace, and sat up on the bed with her back to the headboard as he did the same. Both just staring out into anything but their faces, their gazes moving to the outside world.
"You should stay here. With Roland." She spoke.
"...wh...What? How could you possibly expect me to do that?"
"Because this is better, it's safer than if you were to return to Storybrooke. You and Roland would be safe here."
"Regina, I can't do that, I, I …"
"Robin," turning to face him, "The only reason you're in this mess to begin with is because of me. Because you were part of my life, because…. because I loved you….. Zelena, what she did, she did to hurt me, and in the process took you and Roland with it. All in order for her to get her vengeance. And I won't let it happen again. Robin, I can't let anything happen to you or Roland. I've already put you through enough. The people I love will always get hurt, and i cant do that to you both. Not when you can stay here and away from me."
He shot up from bed, and went to kneel in front of her on the floor. He took her hands, and his eyes bore into her soul. The intensity of it was enough to bring the tears to bay again.
"Regina, listen to me, I am the one who should be sorry here. Today, I doubted you, for god's sakes Regina I yelled out you, but worst of all I let you down. I swear I don't even know how she's pregnant, I have spent the last two months in misery without you. Marion or at least who I thought was her, I just couldn't bring myself to touch her. She wasn't the woman I had married long ago, but most importantly, she wasn't the one my heart and soul screamed for. I remember the morning I woke up, she was laid out next to me, undressed. When I jumped out of bed she said I came home piss drunk. Regina, I don't remember ever going out and getting to that state. Roland, he had not taken well to her, she was rude and often cruel to my boy, so I made it a point to always be home. You know I would never let anything happen to him, I couldn't bring myself to leave him alone with her. And now I know why. Regina, please you have to believe me, I never intended to do what she claims that I did. I called you many times, but you never answered, I saw you everywhere, but yet you weren't there. I can't lose you again."
She stared at him with her wide brown eyes. The whole time he spoke, she bore into his eyes, searching for any hints of a lie, or denial, but there was none there. She knew she could trust his words, but would she ever fully believe him?
"Robin, it had been two months, you left thinking it would save your wife, the woman you thought was Roland's mother was back, the woman you'd 'walk through hell and back' was right in front of you, I wouldn't blame you for what you may or may not have done. You have nothing to be sorry for, you though she was Marion."
"Please, you have to believe me. Marion or Not. There hasn't been one night I haven't spent here without thinking about you, about telling Roland our story for him to go to sleep. He hasn't stopped asking about you, you know. Whenever he and Mar-Zelena would fight, he would always cry out for you, waking from a nightmare he held onto his monkey screaming for you, and it only fueled Zelena's Rage. Regina I couldn't never be with her, not willingly, not while Roland disliked her so much not when my entire being screamed for you.."
At the sound of her little knight's name, she crumbled. She threw herself onto him and cried. Cried for him, for Roland, and for her. For the Happy ending that is always just there, but never for hers to take. He held her, while whispering sweet nothings into her ear, telling her that they would make it through this together, begging her not to give up on him that time will heal. But she's known nothing but time, and knows well enough that time simply isn't enough to heal all wounds. But the little bit of hope in her heart tells her to listen to his words.
Minutes later and they hear a knock on the door that joins the room to the one next to them.
"Hey, sorry its me, Roland he woke up and is hysterical, I can't get him to calm down." says Emma as she holds frantic little boy screaming for his Papa. She walked over to Robin who still holds a crying Regina in his arms, and lowers herself with the boy still in her arms.
"Hey little buddy, look who's here." She says while trying to coax the boy to look up to the people in front of him. He turns his eyes, and lunches forward to Robins arms and clings onto him for dear life. The sight in front of her fuels to her anger, and guilt. They could have had this all along if it wasn't for Zelena. Its then that she knows more than ever, that she will protect this sight in front of her, and their children. She takes one last glance at Regina, and gives her a small smile as she begins to walk out of the room.
"Roland honey,"
His frantic cries suddenly stops as he hears her voice, and whips his head around to see the woman he has spent weeks begging to see.
"Gina?" The moment the words leave his little mouth, Regina opens her arms and Roland launches into them. They hold onto each other, the little knight for fear if he lets go then she will disappear. She feels Robin rise from where he was, then she feels herself along with the little boy in her arms being lifted, and re-positioned onto the bed. Robin shreds himself of his shoes, and jeans and joins them on the bed. He wraps his arms once more around Regina while Roland settles in between them, while maintain a tight grip on his Gina.
Everything is wrong with their worlds, but right now, in that moment, secured in their embrace, they know they will be ok. Sleep eventually finds them, and hours later when the Little Knight wakes his Queen, they too will be ok.
Tomorrow will be another day, but today? Today they have each other.
Let me know what you think!
