Hi everybody! This is my first fanfiction here and i don't know how to feel...excited? Probably.

This idea comes from one of my manips. One day in February i decided to make a Robin and Regina manip as doctors and when i saw it i told myself, "Why not write something about it?"

I also noticed that a lot of people on Twitter liked the idea of a medical version of OutlawQueen so...here i am, writing a story. I really hope you'll like it!

I didn't write it alone, i did it with the help of a dear friend of mine, my sis Valeria. You can find her on twitter as _hugmeLP

As i said, it's my first story so please, be kind! xD

Three minutes. Only three minutes left and that hellish day would be over. She couldn't wait to go home and take a shower.

Her job was the hardest job in the world, never-ending shifts, prescriptions over prescriptions but despite everything, it was a job that gave her plenty a satisfaction, but most importantly a job that she loved.

Regina Mills was a doctor, more specifically she was chief of Pediatric Surgery in one of the most prestigious hospitals of all New York City.

Her passion for medicine started when she was five, thanks to her mother who worked as a nurse. She used to steal her stethoscope and pretend to hear her favorite doll's heartbeat. Since that day, she was sure she would have worked as a doctor and nothing could make her change her mind.

She heard her wrist watch ringing and she realized it was 8 o'clock. She stood up from the chair she was almost falling asleep in, when the door to her room opened.

"The time has come!".

Regina jumped realizing who that was.

"Yes, finally! I can't take it anymore. Today was not an easy day. Gold had the brilliant idea to assign me both morning and afternoon shifts. I had to work for fourteen hours, take part in two surgical operations and assist two new surgery residents. Don't ask me how I made it through the day because I have no clue whatsoever." Regina said looking at the mirror trying to comb her messy hair on her shoulders while removing some black pencil from her eyes that made her look like a panda.

"14 hours? Really? That sounds awful, I wanted to ask you to go out and gran a bite together but it seems you're not in the mood". Mary margareth looked at her while she took off her white coat and put on a black overcoat.

"I'm so sorry but I'm exhausted, the only thing I want to do is crawl into bed and die".

"Don't worry, I totally get it" said Mary Margareth walking arm in arm with her towards the exit.

Mary Margareth and Regina had known each other for years. They met during the matriculation exam, one wanted to study to be a doctor while the other wanted to be a nurse. Their roads were different but this didn't prevent them from keeping in touch during the academic years. Afterwards, Regina specialized in pediatry while Mary Margareth was promoted and became a head nurse.

Their friendship was sincere, they were always there for each other but some times, they had tiffs too.

Everytime they walked towards the hospital's private parking, they would meet some collegues, patients and even their time, they also met the only person that Regina wanted to avoid. To be honest, everytime she met him on ward, she tried walking in the opposite direction. She couldn't stand him but in that moment there was nothing she could do to avoid him if she wanted to get to her car

No, please no. Not him.

"Goodevening collegues" he said making eye contact.

"Good evening doctor Locksley! You are working a night shift, aren't you?" Mary Margareth asked smiling.

Robin Locksley was the best neurosurgeon in the entire hospital and he would always brag about it. His exuberance didn't bother Mary Margareth as it didn't bother the other doctors either. All of them knew how good he was and they were infinitely grateful to him for saving many lives. On the contrary, Regina didn't like him. In the past, they had the chance to chat, to cooperate and to take part in several meetings but their relationship had never gone beyond professionalism.

"Yes, tonight I have lots of work to do. Where are you two going?" he asked looking at Regina.

That woman with the hair as black as night and dark eyes fascinated him. Everytime he met her he couldn't help staring at her. She was beautiful and he really wanted to know more about her, maybe by getting coffee together. He wanted to get to know her better, investigate her life and not just talk with her about their working issues. Who knows, maybe sooner or later he would have asked her out. Or maybe even now.

"Our shift is over. We're going back home." Regina immediately replied smiling with insolence.

"What a pity, I thought we could spend some time together" said Robin pretending to be sad.

"Oh really? And what makes you think that I want to spend my time with you, Locksley?"

"Come on, I know deep down you like me"

"I wouldn't go out with you even if you were the last man on Earth"

Meanwhile, Mary Margareth was looking at them, amused. She loved when they teased each other. They really looked like a true couple.

"Maybe you don't like me now, but I'm sure that sooner or later I'll manage to take you out for dinner" Robin blinked at her.

"I didn't know a neurosurgeon like you would get down to this level and ask a simple pediatrician like me to go out".

"What can I say? You're a nice pediatrician…Have a nice evening, ladies" he said entering the hospital and waving his hand at them.

Regina was surprised by those words. She never thought he could make such a declaration to her. She was struck by that when she suddenly heard him calling her one last time.

"Oh, Mills?" said Robin, turning his head towards her.

"Nice hair!" he laughed, disappearing behind the sliding doors.

Regina remembered how her hair looked like and she blushed widening her eyes. Her reaction was a mixture between anger and shame.

I'll kill him. I swear next time I meet him I'll kill him.

The moment they entered Regina's car, Mary Margareth burst out laughing.

"This is not funny at all" Regina spoke up hitting her on the shoulder.

"Oh come on Regina, he's head over heels in love with you"

"In love with me? He acts like this with all the women he meets!"

"Believe me, I saw how he looked at you, he really X-rayed you!

"I don't care if he X-rayed me or if he likes me, this is not mutual"

"Are you telling me you have no feelings for him at all? You don't like him?

"No"

"Not even a little?"

"I said no"

Regina stop it please, all girls in this hospital fall for him"

"So what? He may be an handsome man but iIcan't stand his attitude. He's so vain about his professionality like he's the only neurosurgeon in all the States! Who does he think he is, anyway?"

"I understand you're feeling like this now but I'm sure you'll let yourself go"

"Are you really sure about this?"

"I'll bet you ten dollars that within next week he'll manage to take you out for dinner. Or breakfast, it depends on what you like the most"

"We have a deal".

You'll lose my friend, I'm sure.

Fifteen minutes later, she crossed her apartment's threshold and found her son Henry sitting on the sofa and playing with videogames.

"Darling, I'm home"

"Hi mum, you're finally back!"

"Let's just say I had a very busy day"

"I knew it, i just ordered two pizzas, they should be here in half an hour. You have time to take a shower and relax for a while" he said, kissing her cheek.

"What would I do without my man of the house" Regina said, removing her shoes and hanging her coat on the stand.

Henry was fifteen years old but he was more mature than any other boy his age. He attended the Art College, he had always shown a great talent for drawing and dreamed of becoming a cartoonist. Regina haf loved his aspiration since the very first moment. She didn't want him to be like her. She knew several mothers who wanted their sons and daughters to follow their steps but she disagreed. All Regina wanted was for him to be happy and and that meant letting him follow his heart.

She jumped in the shower and stayed there for 20 minutes letting the hot drops fall on her body and wash away the tension due to the long hours of work.

She stepped out and wrapped a towel around her body while she walked towards her bedroom where she changed into her favorite and super cozy pajamas with little teddybears on and left her hair wet.

"So darling, how was school today?" Regina asked Henry while they enjoyed their pizzas.

"Good, professor Blanchard gave us a project that needs to be done within the next month. We need to create a story and then we have to draw it in the form of a comic!"

"Really? Sounds fantastic!" Regina said.

"I know, this is such an amazing thing to do and i can't wait to show her. Everything I need is already in my mind, i just need to write down some stuff and then I can start drawing"

While he was talking, Regina had teary eyes. She was so proud of him. He put love in everything he did, she couldn't ask for a better son.

Before going back to his room, he helped her mother washing the dishes they used for dinner.

"I'm going to sleep, mum; tomorrow i'll have a very busy six hour day coming up"

"It's okay Henry, goodnight" she told him leaving a kiss on the side of his head.

Now she was alone in her living room and she sighed. She loved her life, she had a job that satisfied her, a son that she loved to the moon and back and some friends that were always ready to help her when she needed it the most. Despite this, something tormented her. There was something that was preventing her from living peacefully.

She went back to her room and sat on her giant bed planning on going to sleep but before slipping under the covers, she looked at a little picture frame she had on her night table. The picture showed a little 3 year old girl. She had black hair and she was flying on a swing. She was a bundle of joy. Regina looked at her with tears in her eyes while she brought a hand to her lips and she left a kiss on her fingers, before touching the frame's glass.

This is something she would do every night before falling asleep. She's been doing this for ten years and she would continue doing it for many more.

It was a sort of ritual that only she knew the meaning of. She never spoke about it to anyone, not even to her son. She laid down and she finally fell asleep hugging a little teddy bear plush with a pink ribbon tied around its neck.

Opinions? Should i continue it or not? Let me know!
