Sophia pouted as she watched the rain drops beat against her window, she missed him, a lot. It wasn't like she was madly in love with him or anything, they were young. Stealing innocent kisses when her parents turned around, snuck onto the roof at night just to stargaze together. It was the mushy things that got to her, and he clearly loved doing them. She wished she could tell Regina, her mother, everything. But that would open up a possibility of her telling her father, and that would be very bad, she didn't know how Robin would react to the fact that she had a thing going on with his favorite prodigy behind his back.
She continued to stare out the window reveling in her memories, he'd only been gone for two days out of six just to go camping outside of Storybrooke. There was a knock on the door that she didn't hear at all. Regina studied her daughter for a bit, her long brunette hair that she acquired due to Robin's genes cascaded down her back almost past her waist. She was so lost in thought. Regina caught her multiple times in this state. She wasn't worried or anything, just curious to what her eighteen year old was thinking.
"Sophia" Regina said softly, yet the girl didn't budge
"Sophia Rose" Regina spoke a little more loudly, Sophia instantly turned to meet her mother's dark eyes that mirrored hers
"Huh?" she mumbled, she knew whenever her mother called her by her full name instead of her nickname something was up
"What are you thinking about?" Regina asked taking a seat next to her, Sophia rested her head on her mother's shoulder lazily tracing patterns on top of the blanket on her lap
"Nothing much" she murmured
"It doesn't seem like it" Regina said gently smoothing Sophia's hair, she shifted a bit as her mother spoke, she really wanted to tell her about her secret relationship. But it didn't feel like the right time for her, and as her mother told her repeatedly timing is everything in their family
"It's really nothing important" Sophia said letting out a deep sigh
"If you say so Sophia" she said chuckling "How about we go downstairs and make those chocolate cookies you adore"
"Okay" Sophia said smiling, she followed her mother adjusting her sweats so they didn't drag on the floor and unzipping her jacket a bit. She wasn't quite as elegant and sophisticated as her mother when it came to clothes. She'd trade dresses and skirts for a pair of jeans any day, Regina told her that she looked like a hobo sometimes but she giggled each time yet she did accept her mother's request of her wearing a dress or skirt four times a week, once on the weekend and the rest on week days.
"Where did the boys go?" Sophia asked reaching into the pantry for some ingredients
"Roland and Henry?" Regina asked
"Mhmm"
"They went to the Charming residence for the weekend, supposedly they are having some sort of crafting extravaganza. I thought I'd save you the eye roll so I just sent the boys"
"Thank god" Sophia said chuckling "That sounds incredibly boring"
"My sentiments exact"
The two women finally finished their baking and decided to sit in the living room by the fire and just talk for a bit, enjoying their hot chocolate and cookies
"So" Regina said breaking the silence "How's school going?"
Sophia looked up from her mug and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear "It's fine, I can't believe I graduate soon" she said smiling, Regina returned the smile, yet she had a sense of melancholy and Sophia could sense it. "Mom, I'm not going anywhere. You know that right?"
"Of course I do, I just can't believe how grown up you are"
"I know" Sophia returned her gaze to her hot chocolate, Regina tiled her head
"Something bothering you?" Regina asked hoping she could get a decent answer this time
"Okay, I have a confession" Sophia spat out
"Okay, tell me"
"So-" Sophia started to say before there was a knock on the door, the two glanced at each other
"Who could that be?" Regina asked
"I dunno" Sophia replied, the pair got up and went to the foyer to open the door
"Robin! What are you doing home so early?" Regina asked, Robin chuckled
"It's not even that funny" Eugene said pouting
"What's not funny?" Sophia asked raising an eyebrow, she tried to keep herself calm but all she wanted to do was crash her lips upon Eugene's
"We were in the forest outside of Storybrooke and this young lad reached into a log and got bitten by a snake" Robin explained
"Oh my god! Are you okay!" Sophia asked a little too emotionally, Robin shot her a quick glance before returning his gaze with Regina's
"He's fine, I had to suck out the poison"
"Oh, that's cool" Sophia said, Eugene chuckled
"Okay, well Sophia and I made some cookies. Do you boys want some?" Regina asked
"Of course!" Eugene said darting into the kitchen "Whose hot chocolate is this? It's in a green cup, I'm going to drink it!" he yelled from the kitchen
"Hey!" Sophia yelled "That's mine!" she ran into the kitchen leaving her parents in the foyer
"They are so odd" Regina mumbled, Robin laughed
"It seems so, after all, they are hormonal teenagers" he replied, leaning down to kiss Regina's lips
"Speaking of hormonal, do you think there's something up with those two?" Regina asked
"What do yo mean?" Robin asked, his eyebrows cocked at her
"I mean, they've spent quite a lot of time together. You'd think by now they'd be in a-" Regina paused
"Be in a what?" he asked
"Never mind" she quickly replied, she didn't want to set ideas in Robin's mind because when it came to his kids especially Sophia he was rather over protective. "Let's get some cookies before they eat it all" she said grabbing his hand and leading him into the kitchen
"Wait!" he exclaimed
"What?" Regina replied
"Are you talking about a relationship?" Robin said with wide eyes
"Uhmm… No?" Regina said
"You are! She is only 18! Clearly she's not ready for any kind of boy and girl activities"
"Robin, dear, calm down. Girls from our realm get married when they are 16"
"That's morally incorrect!" he said pacing, Regina just rolled her eyes
"I meant a friendship Robin" Regina lied
"Oh, I see. Sure she can have a friendship with Eugene" Robin said smiling, Regina just shook her head and joined the others in the kitchen. They made their way to the living room after their fill of cookies, Regina and Robin opted to snuggle on the floor against the coach, while the teens sat on separate ends of the same coach. They decided to pop in the movie "This Means War", it wasn't even half way over when Sophia had fallen asleep on Eugene, and he ended up falling asleep as well. Robin hadn't noticed at all, he and Regina were so caught up in the movie. The movie finally ended, and the credits began to roll
"That brings an end to our loving evening" Robin said standing up, then pulling Regina up beside him. He looked to his left and saw the two dozed off he squinted his eyes
"How could they sleep? The movie was filled with so much action!" Robin exclaimed, Regina giggled
"You were the one who picked this movie out dear" Regina said wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her chin on his shoulder, thank god she was wearing heels or that wouldn't have been possible. He sighed and relaxed a bit
"I'll wake them up" he said
"Okay" Regina replied "I'll be upstairs" she said winking, a lopsided grin was plastered on his face as he heard his wife's words
"Sophia" Robin whispered, poking her face. She smiled and opened her eyes, sitting up and stretching she looked around. Then held Eugene's nose, he panicked and shot open his eyes.
"What the heck!" he yelled trying to control his breathing "You almost killed me!"
"Your such a baby" Sophia said giggling, Robin stood there with his arms folded
"Well it's almost 11, it's time for you to return home lad" Robin said pulling up his daughter from the couch
"Yes sir" Eugene said shaking Robin's hand then heading for the door
"Hey, I'll walk you out" Sophia said running to catch up with him, Robin followed the two, stopping at the door while the two walked towards the gate at a slow pace
"How's your wound?" Sophia asked smiling
"Its fine, it's weird though" Eugene said
"What is?"
"It seems like I'm more intimate with your dad then I've been with you. In the way that he sucked out the poison from my hand" he said smirking, she opened the gate then closed it, she leant over the gate
"We should remedy that sir" she said winking, he smiled raising an eyebrow
"Sophia!" Robin called, she turned to her father "I'll be right there" she yelled back, she turned back to Eugene
"My windows open" she whispered
"Then I'll see you soon Princess" Eugene said bowing
"Indeed you will sir" Sophia smirked
