This Is my take on what happened after Regina made that comment too Robin In Rumple's castle (Where you come from people bathe In the river and use pinecone's for money) Regina, Snow and Charming went straight to 'The dark forest' after that. Robin declined to go 'WHY'. This Is what I'd like to think happened except they are already sleeping together. I'm a hugh fan off *The Missing Year* I love reading story's from *The Missing Year* between Robin and Regina because we haven't seen much off *The Missing Year* so we can let our imagination's run wild. I've been thinking off this for a while so I thought I'd write It down. I hope you like It, and please Review and let me know what you think.
Ok I'm gonna stop rambling now, so hear you go x

"I still don't think that this Is a good Idea" Regina voiced as Snow, Charming and Regina where on their way back from the dark forest.
Regina didn't like this plan at all. After all she was the one that had to do the task, did they not know what this would do to her (how alive she would feel ripping out someone's heart) Regina was afraid that she would enjoy It too much and go backward's Instead off forward's.
The only reason she was staying grounded was because off her little prince that was far from her reach. She was missing him so much and If she was going to see him again with this new curse, she didn't want to be the 'Evil Queen' which she was thinking If she was to rip out Charming's heart that Is where she might end up and she has come so far and she was afraid, but the only person she would tell that to was Robin. Regina was hoping he could give her some council and tell her that everything was going to be ok and that he would be there for her.
Right now there was a little dimpled boy whose life she saved from a flying monkey that she has come to love. Little Roland reminding her so much of her little prince Henry, and that she would also not like Roland too see her as 'Evil' She had so much to lose this time.
And not too mention his father. 'God she was so In love with him' Those bright blue ocean eye's and those dimples and that smile that he would love to show her and make her knee's go weak everytime. The blue eyed man has told the dark haired beauty that he loved her numours time's but the chocolate eyed woman has been afraid to tell him her true feeling's.
Regina just keep's thinking he doesn't really love her... Because who can love the 'Evil Queen' was what kept going through her mind, but she was so In love with him and she had yet to tell him and yet for some reason she felt so comfortable confiding In him. She felt like she could tell him anything.
Regina kept going over In her mind about what happened today In Rumple's castle thinking that she has too apologize to him because It did hurt her when she made that comment. She seen the hurt on his face but Snow, Charming and Belle where there and the Queen didn't want to sound weak, so she would wait till she got back to the castle and then apologize to the man that she was In love with but has yet to tell him.
She can still remember the first time she saw his Tattoo. The first time they almost made love. She freaked out when she saw his Tattoo and done what she knew best and that was to run away without any explanation. Deep down In the core off her stomach she just kept feeling that he was blinded by her beauty and that he didn't and couldn't love her. Robin was an honourable man and she has killed and tortured so many people over vengence's.
Every time she would push that feeling to the back off her head someone was alway's there to remind her that she was 'Evil' weather It was Blue or one off the Dwarf's, even the Merry Men where there to remind her that she was 'Evil' and not to be trusted. There was alway's someone to put that thought back to the front off her mind. Who could ever love you she kept hearing them say even though no one actually voiced the word's out loud but she knew they where all thinking It.
Robin was after forgivin her when she came to her sense's and apologized for her behaviour but she never told him why she freaked out. Regina started to think that maybe she can have what everyone else has and that Is a 'Happy Ending' so she bit the bullet (so to speak) but the chocolate eyed woman has yet to tell him that they are SoulMate's. Robin never asked her what happened that night In his chamber's, he thought she would off told him but has yet too. It was hard for her, Regina was not like her step-daughter (Snow White) she was not one to show her feeling's because she thought that that would make her seem weak.
"Regina, there's no other way" Charming plainly said glancing over at Snow seeing that she was not happy with her husband's plan.
Regina was about to reply when Charming called Snow's name seeing the pissed-off look on her face but she just kept walking "I'm not decussing this now" The Princess just said.
"But I think we need too" The Prince returned.
Yes, I'm with Charming on this one" Regina jumped In hoping that she and Snow could change the Prince's mind then said In a sarcastic tone "God I never thought I'd say that". Regina knew that they had to discuss what was going to happen, the Prince and Princess hadn't even asked the Queen If she was ok with this plan they just asumed she would be even though she was not.
Both Snow and Charming rolled their eye's at the Queen's statment but Regina didn't care because that was the person she was. Putting on a front but hiding the fact that this was hurting her also. She was the one that had to rip out the heart and truth be told she was afraid to do so but would not voice that Infront off the uncharming's.
"We'll talk about this later" Snow just said In a stern voice.
The Queen and the Prince finally agreed for now, Snow's hormones were all over the place because off her pregnancy. So they both decided to leave It for now but this converstation was far from over.

When they arrived back at the castle Regina was so excited to see Robin that she went straight to his chamber's hoping to take refuge In those loving arm's that she knew he would give In any time. Robin would also take her and Snow's side and try to convince Charming that this was a bad Idea even though she so wanted to see her little Prince again (but not at this cause)
Regina stood at Robin's door a good five minute's knocking and there was still no answer so she decided to enter to see If everything was alright. Regina just thought that he was sleeping and couldn't hear her knocking. When she entered the room was empty, she checked the en-suite and that was also empty. Regina started to worry so she decided to make her way to the the Merry Men. If anyone knew where he was It would be them.
The Merry Men where all out In the courtyard 'Training' with either a sword or a bow and arrow, being watched over by Little John when It was Robin that used to do the watching over when his men were training. Regina was confused (where was he).
Little John noticed his men (well Robin's men) all freeze up and look over his shoulder making him turn around seeing the Queen coming toward's him.
"Your Majesty" Was all Little John said as he walked the rest off the way toward's the Queen.
"Where's Robin"? The Queen just flat out asked when they reached one another.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you that" Little John answered.
"Why not"? The Queen asked In her 'Evil Queen' tone.
"Because Robin told me not too your Majesty" Little John replied with disdian In his tone. He was not fond off the Queen at all and Regina new that, but she was hoping he would reveal something so she prodded a bit more.
"Well then... When will he be back"? Regina asked wanting so much to rip his heart out and find out where her SoulMate was but Little John was Robin's best friend and she knew that It wouldn't go well If she did do what she was thinking.
"A couple day's or maybe never" Little John answered without hesitation which the Queen hated.
'He's loving this to much' Regina thought to herself.
"What do you mean maybe never"? Regina asked In a very serious tone.
"I'm sorry your Majesty" (he's not really, he's loving her pain) "But that's what I was told to tell you" Little John then said.
"So you do know where he Is then"? Regina then asked trying to keep her emotion's In check.
"Yes, but I'm sorry I can't tell you" Little John then said.
"Where Roland? did he go with him"? Regina asked two question's In one.
"No, he's sleeping In my chamber's at the moment" Little John answered.
"So Robin will be back then"? Another question came from the Queen's mouth. Regina knew that Robin loved his son more than anything and would not leave him for long and that he'd have to be back soon but (when) was the question.
"I don't know because Robin said he'd let me know If I've to bring Roland to him" Little John just planly said. He didn't care If he was hurting the Queen, she has killed and tortured friend's off his and he hated her for that and never understood what his best friend saw In her. Little John was the only person that knew about the Queen and the Thief. Snow didn't even knew she was to caught up with Zelena threatening to take her baby.
"So where did he go then"? Regina asked again hoping that Little John would just give It up and tell her where he was.
"I'm not allowed to tell you your Majesty" Little John said again "But whatever It was you did, just let me tell you this... you have really hurt him" Little John then added with poison In his voice.
"What do you mean"? The Queen asked knowing full well what he mean't but she didn't want to voice It herself.
"I told him that you would evenutally hurt him, but he wouldn't listen to me" John then said not caring what she would do to him for telling her what she already knew.
Regina felt hurt at Robin leaving but would not voice that In front off anyone so she thought she would just change the converstation not letting on how much she was hurting. Was It the comment that she made at Rumple's castle but not only that comment, she hasn't treated him right from the moment she first set eye's on him. Regina was just hoping that he wasn't giving up on her. Has she finally pushed him to the brink where he didn't want anything to do with her anymore. Thinking back on every hatefull word that she threw his way she could feel her eye's filling with tear's.
Regina held her tear's back and cleared her throat "Ok then" Regina voiced with a little crack In her tone which Little John noticed. Regina just brushed It off and continued after she cleared her throat again "I'll just poke my head In to see how Roland Is"
"No" Little John just said In a stern voice.
"Excuse me" Was all the Queen said.
"Robin" Little John found that he had to stop to collect his thought's then started again "Robin said that It would be best If Roland got some distance from you".
"Why"? Regina asked yet another question (god this Is turning Into Question's and answer's) Regina thought to herself. Regina loved Roland and Robin knew that, so why would he stop her from seeing the little dimpled lad. Robin know's that she would never hurt him.
"Your going to have to ask Robin that Your Majesty" Little John just said with a little smirk forming across his face (he was loving this a little to much)
"Ok... well tell me where he Is then and I'll ask him" Regina thought she'd try one more time.
Little John just flat out said 'NO' then turned around and made his way back over too the rest off the Merry Men who where talking amongst themself's.
Regina was puzzled she just turned and left and she made her way to her chamber's trying not to shed a tear until she was behind closed door's where no one could see her cry over a 'Thief' off all people.

A knock came on the Queen's bedroom door the next evening. A smile grew on Regina's face hoping that It was Robin coming back to her and that smile faltered as she opened her door and seen Snow standing there on the other side.
"Regina are you ok"? The Princess asked with concern seeing that the Queen had bag's under her eye's and they were red and puffy over the crying that she has done through-out the night not getting a wink off sleep at all.
"I'm fine" Regina just said as she walked away from her door leaving It opened and went to sit down on her bed.
"You don't look fine" Snow voiced as she walked Into the Queen's chamber's and closed the door behind her. "Is It Henry"? Snow then asked.
"No" Regina just said then asked when she was sure her voice wouldn't break "Why are you here"?
"We where worried when you didn't show up for breakfast and then dinner" Snow answered as she set down on the arm-chair that was In the corner off the Queen's chamber's and rested her hand's on her growing stomach.
"Well as you can see I'm fine, so you can leave now" Regina said with tear's In her eye's.
Snow's heart was breaking at seeing her step-mother In this state. "Regina please talk to me, what's wrong If It's not Henry"? The Princess begged for Regina to talk to her.
Regina looked down at her hand's on her lap and cleared her throat "It's Robin" Regina just said as a single tear rolled down her cheek.
Snow looked at Regina with a puzzled look "Robin"? She repeated with a question mark.
"He left" Regina just said as another tear fell.
Snow looked at Regina still with that puzzled look wondering why Regina would be so upset over the Thief leaving. "Yes John told me, but Regina why are you so upset over him leaving"? The Princess asked seeing a few tear's leave the Queen's eye's.
Regina finally looked up at her step-daughter but didn't say anything and seeing the pain her her eye's Snow had to ask "Regina are you and Robin sleeping together"?
"Yes" Regina answered truthfully. 'What was the point In hiding It anymore' The Queen thought to herself.
"Oh... Ok" Was all Snow could say.
"Well... It doesn't matter anymore, he's gone now" Regina said with her voice full of pain.
Snow heard the pain In the Queen's voice and also saw pain In her eye's. The Princess knew that there was more to this because Regina was not one to get upset over a man that she was just sleeping with. She was the kind off person that would just brush It off and then move on to another, but that was the old Regina. She was no longer that person anymore and Snow knew that.
"Regina are you In love with Robin"? Snow had to ask.
"Yes" Regina answered finally confessing her feeling's outloud for the first time as she wiped away more tear's.
Snow let out a little light chuckle, not at the Queen's pain but that she has finally found love and that Is what Snow has wanted for her step-mother for the longest off time's. Snow still felt so guilty over what happened to Regina's first love (Daniel) and she blamed herself for letting Cora manipulate her Into telling her Regina's secret even though she was only Ten when It happened.
"Does my pain amuse you Snow"? The Queen asked In an angry tone. 'Why would Snow laugh at her like that'
Snow stood up from the arm-chair she was sitting on and made her way over to Regina and set down beside her step-mother on the bed and took her hand In her's and reached her free hand upto Regina's cheek and wiped at her tear's.
"No, Regina It does not" Snow said In a soft voice as she felt Regina move away from the Princesses touch. Snow had tear's off her own seeing Regina like this nearly at breaking point.
"Regina I have wanted you to find love ever since" Snow paused for a moment to clear her throat then continued "I got Daniel killed"
Regina's gaze shot up to Snow's and seen that she had tear's off her own then asked "If you have wanted this for me then why did you laugh, when you are the only I've told this too"?
"Regina, I laughed because I'm so happy that you have finally found love" Snow said with a wide smile at hearing that she was the first to know about her step-mother's feeling's for the Thief.
"Well It doesn't matter now because I've done what I alway's do, and that Is to push away someone that could probabley care for me" Regina said In a cracked voice as she wiped away more tear's.
"Regina go to him and tell him how you-" Snow started to say.
"I don't know where he Is" Regina cut the Princess off.
"Well... Did you ask John where he went"? Snow then asked.
"Yes and he won't tell me" Regina answered In a sad voice.
"Why"? Snow asked another question In an angry tone wondering why John would keep Robin's location from Regina.
"Because" Regina paused for a moment and looked down at her hand still In Snow's then continued "Robin told him not too"
"Can't you do a locater's spell or something" Snow said not as a question. Snow really wanted to help Regina with this she didn't like seen her like this.
"I tried, but my magic Is being blocked" Regina answered with sadness In her eye's.
"How"? Snow asked wondering If Zelena had something to do with that but she would not voice her fear's not wanting to upset Regina more than she already Is. Regina saw Snow's expression change and Immediately knew what the Princess was thinking.
"It's not Zelena Snow, he's covered by light magic" Regina said reassuring her step-daughter.
"Blue" Snow just said and Regina nodded.
Snow stood-up letting go off Regina's hand "Clean yourself up Regina, your leaving shortly to go see Robin" Snow said walking toward's the bedroom door.
"Snow" Regina called and the Princess turned to look at the Queen "Blue Is not going to help me" Regina planly said knowing that the only fairy that would help her would be Tinkerbell but she was off In another kingdom trying to find out some Information about the Wicked Witch.
"I'm not going to see Blue, I'm paying Little John a visit" Snow said with a smile.
"But-" Regina started to say.
"He'll tell me where he Is" Snow cut the Queen off and left the room.
