AN: This is just going to be a place where every now and then I'm gonna upload some OQ drabbles/oneshots .. So therefore there's mostly no timeline whatsoever. Just brief moments that might one day happen or may have happenend.
This one is set a bit in the future. Disclaimer: Not owning anything .. I'm just playing a little.
1. Apple Turnovers
3.47 a.m.
„Wonderful", she thought. It was way too early to even think about getting up. But nevertheless she did get up.
She grabbed the nearest cardigan like item she could find and put it on. Which happenend to be his shirt still laying on the chair in their bedroom from last night.
Then she quietly made her way downstairs, put on her slippers and grabbed a basket before heading out to the garden.
As she made her way back into the kitchen a few minutes later she was met by an almost panicking Robin.
He stopped her and tried to take the basket which was now full of apples from her arm, „what are you thinking?"
Regina didn't reply just stared back at him.
„You shouldn't be carrying that around", Robin said now taking the basket from her arm and placing it on the kitchen counter.
She eventually got where he was going with it, „I'm very well capable of carrying a basket full of apples, Robin. I'm not a child anymore."
„No you're right, you're not", he said, „but you're with one."
Regina rolled her eyes at him. She had to admit she loved this side of him, being all caring but in the last couple of days it was also annoying her a little bit, „It's fine, I can carry a basket of apples."
„But-", he was trying to say but was cut off by the look she threw at him.
She was playing with him. They both knew that but even at 4 a.m. in the morning with his shirt over her pyjama bottoms, her Queen like and challenging, „do you want me to char you to a crisp?", made him shut up.
„But next time you could just ask me and I'd be happy to help", he said giving her a quick kiss on her lips before she could come up with a response.
„I didn't think you wanted to get up before 4 a.m. just because I'm craving Apple Turnovers", she said, „but if you wish then I will."
He smiled at her, „ah maybe just maybe I was hoping to one day being able to steal that receipe."
Regina was laughing now, „forget it. That's the one thing that's never gonna happen. It's a Mills women thing. So no man will ever get it."
„Well maybe I'll send a search party for the kitchen and find it then", he said smiling playfully at her.
„Good thing then that there is no written version of it", she said.
„Damn", he said, „so you're saying if this little one", he placed his right hand on his wife's stomach, „is going to be a girl then she will one day get to know the receipe and I still won't."
Regina nodded, „exactly. No matter how much you're trying to charm your way into getting it you won't."
„But-", Regina added after seeing his sad face, „there's one thing I can promise you. For as long as we will live together you shall get as many Apple Turnovers as you want. When you want them."
„Now that's a deal I can live with", Robin said kissing her again, before adding, „how about now?"
Regina laughed, „well I'm starving so I'll work on that now. Could you...", she trailed off.
„Could I?", Robin asked.
„Would you mind getting us some ice cream? I'm kind of craving some Häagen Dazs Mint Leaf's and Chocolate, right now."
„On my way", he said almost running to the front door.
„Robin!", Regina called for him one last time, „maybe you should put some clothes on first".
He muttered something under his breath before he headed back to their bedroom. He had almost left the house in his underwear.
