Set after 07x06. Regina tells Robin that they had a daughter during the missing year.

Robin runs his hand down Regina's naked back, a stupid smile not leaving his face. He feels butterflies fluttering in his stomach with every breath he takes, and Gods, he couldn't be more in love with this woman.

Though, when she had stormed into his apartment a few hours ago, he was confused. They weren't on good terms, Roni and he, she avoided him, didn't want to see him at her bar so she was the last person Robin expected to see at his doorway.

But when she kissed him, Robin knew she was awake.

They didn't talk all that much, shared a few breathless I love you's and that was it. It was one of those times when actions spoke louder than words.

She's muttered that she's so relieved that he is alive and awake and that she's so damn sorry she was a true bitch towards him all this time and then she was kissing him again, stealing his breath.

She's been smiling so brightly at him, her eyes were shining with happiness as she kissed him over and over again, as she thanked all the Gods above that he was brought back.

That was an hour ago.

Now… Now she's laying on her stomach, her face turned away from him as she stares at the dark wall of his bedroom. Her muscles are tensed under his hand as he moves it from her shoulders to her lower back and up again.

Robin's hand stops in the middle of its way, and he leans over and pecks her shoulder, asks, "Love, is something wrong?"

Regina doesn't reply. The only response he gets is her eyes squeezing shut and a single tear running over the bridge of her nose and falling on his pillow.

Robin frowns and moves a bit closer to her so he can see her face better, and asks again, "Regina, please, tell me what's wrong?"

She inhales shakily and quickly wipes her tears away from her cheeks, as if not to show Robin that she's weak (but she must know he's never seen her as a weak, and he never will) and finally she turns around to face him.

She pulls the sheets closer to herself, covers her glorious body from him as if she's ashamed of it, as if she's ashamed of herself.

Robin feels even more confused.

"Regina?" he prompts and wants to take her hand in his but she wraps her arms around herself, moves away from his touch when he tries to touch her.

"I have to tell you something," she whispers, her voice barely audible. Robin nods in encouragement. "Ivy-" Regina starts but the words die down in her throat as a knot of tears stops her from speaking. She looks away from Robin then, instead focuses on the wall behind him. "Drizella, she's-" but her voice breaks again and she buries her face in her hands as a quiet sob leaves her.

"Drizella?" Robin asks, confused. He's meet the young woman, and she's the Evil herself. But she could never be stronger than Regina, she could never do something what would make Regina act like this.

"I-" She whispers before wiping her tears away again and lifting her head from her hands. She focuses on the wall behind him again, her eyes wide, expression determined and when she speaks again her voice is mechanic, it feels as if the Evil Queen is here and not Regina. "I found out that I was pregnant during the missing year. Zelena stole our baby from us and erased our memories of it."

"What?"

"Killing me wasn't enough of a revenge, Robin. She wanted to torture our child for the rest of her life when she was done with me," Regina continues to speak, staring at the wall behind him.

Her voice is emotionless, but her face… It looks like she's being tortured in the worst ways possible.

"We have a child?

"Zelena sent our baby to another realm, the Queen of that realm raised her as her own but she was never loved. Our daughter had a mother worse than mine, can you believe that?" she asks as a single tear runs down her cheeks.

Robin wants to say that he cannot believe any of this, he doesn't remember Regina being pregnant in the missing year, God damnit, he doesn't even remember kissing her in that year, she hated him back then, just like Roni did.

But Robin trusts her. Of course he does. Zelena, that witch could do that, she could do that. Now Robin hates her even more (if that's even possible).

"I failed our child, Robin," Regina whispers, snapping Robin out of his thoughts. When Robin looks at Regina again, he finds her staring at him, her eyes full of tears. He feels like crying himself but she needs him right now, he needs to be strong for her, so he sucks it up, swallows down the knot of tears and asks, "Regina, who's our daughter?"

"Our child is purely evil."

"Regina, who is she?" he asks again in a low voice, and he doesn't want to get mad or anything but he needs to know. He has to know.

"Drizella."

It feels like his whole world collapses as he registers the words. Drizella. The woman who threatened to kill him if he enters Roni's bar again, the woman who told him that he'll watch Regina suffer for the rest of his life.

Oh Gods.

"When I taught her how to use magic, I saw that her magic was purple, just like mine. And these things don't just happen. Everyone's magic has its own color, only those who are related in blood can have the same color." Words seem to be flowing out of Regina now. "I made her cut her hand in one of her lessons, and I took her blood, did a little spell and it proved that she's mine. When I told Zelena about that, she confessed that she took our baby, Robin. I remember it all now."

"Are- are you sure?" Robin asks, still not being able to believe what he's just heard.

"I'm positive," she confirms and then a few more tears are rolling down her cheeks. "She's evil, Robin, pure evil," Regina continues, "I was always afraid that my children will be just like me. Looks like my biggest fear turned out to be true."

"Regina, listen to me," Robin fights over his shock and forces himself to think. "She's our daugther and no matter what happened to her or what she did, we'll bring her to the right path. You found your way to redemption and so did Emma. Even Rumple. We will help Drizella do the same, Regina" he assures her, and takes her hand in his, squeezes in encouragement.

Regina only shakes her head sadly, before putting her head in her hands again, a sob escaping her. Robin sighs in defeat and moves closer to her, wraps his arms around her and holds her close to his chest as she silently cries.

He doesn't know how much time it will take to find light in his daughter but he's sure that they're not going to give up until they succeed.
