Song Used: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas – Johnny Mathis
Couple: Regina Mills & Robin Locksley
"Does the mayor have a lot of tasks to do, or can she fit in time for her handsome & loving husband?" Regina Mills Locksley heard this murmured in her ear and she let a smirk curl her lips.
"Oh, I think she can make all the time in the world for him if she knew what he was up to," she replied. Her slender hands worked to decorate the tree in the town hall and Robin goes to help her. Regina's smile is genuine as she watches him. Who would have ever thought that the Evil Queen would let happiness come into her life, let alone with an outlaw?
"What are you thinking over there, wife of mine?" Robin asked as he stood with a Christmas ornament in each hand.
"How lucky I am to have found you," she replied. Robin grinned then set the ornaments down before taking the ones in her hands to set them aside.
"I don't think it's possible for you to be lucky because I'm the lucky one," he said before taking her into his arms, dipping her and planting a firm yet coaxing kiss onto her lips. It made her dizzy but she met each stroke of his tongue against her own before she was brought back upright, the two of them still exchanging heated kisses for a few minutes.
Robin finally brought a stop to their kisses with sweet & gentle pecks to her lips, each one shorter than the last. "You can still make me dizzy," she murmurs, gripping his shoulders in a gentle manner.
"Good. I'm glad to know that I have that affect on you, Your Majesty," he said with a smirk and Regina shakes her head at the name.
"You are incorrigible," she muttered, stepping away from him to finish her decorating. Robin just continued to grin as he watched her.
Chatter filled the air later on as assortment of happy couples filled the main room of the town hall; some of the men wearing Santa hats with little jingle bells around the white above their foreheads. Kids ran around screaming that it was Christmastime and their excitement made their parents smile. Robin & Regina exchanged conversation with two other couples, Anna & Killian and Emma & Neal. Anna giggled as Killian whispered something in her ear then grins at him as their hands join at the gentle swell she was now sporting. "Have you two found out the gender yet?" Robin asked as he stood with his arms wrapped around Regina from behind.
"Aye," Killian replied, looking at Anna for permission. She nods her allowance and smiles as she felt the gentle & swift kicks their babies delivered across her stomach beneath their hands. "It's twins."
"Congratulations, mate. That's exciting," Robin said, holding out one hand toward the pirate. Killian grins and shakes the outlaw's hand with a fierce grip.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
