OQ Fix It Week - Day 1: Robin never died day
Hey guys! I am so sorry I haven't written anything in a year, my laptop has been broken for that long (I had to use my brother's all last school year) and I thought I got it fixed for OQ prompt party but it crashed while editing the first prompt :( However, I have a new hard drive so now it's fine! This is not beta'd so there might be mistakes. Somehow this took an hour and a half to write but is still short haha.
This weeks prompts will all be in the same verse, let me know if you want this verse to be continued! Zelena's baby will NOT be Robin's, in any of these prompts.
Disclaimer - I do not own Once Upon A Time or any of it's characters. I only own the new parts of this storyline and any new characters that come along with it ;)
August 2016
Everyone coming back from the underworld, in one piece, was all Regina wanted since the day they went down there. Her son, sister, and her soulmate were all stuck there with her, and that was what scared her the most. What if they couldn't get back? Obviously she would do anything for her son to get back to Storybrooke, no matter what it took. Zelena could hold her own, and Regina never doubted that she would, before Hades took her magic, at least. Regina would try to do the same for Robin, but she doubts he would let her. As she lays next to him that night, she thanks all the gods that she has an amazing man like him in her life. She can only hope it can stay that way. She coasts her hand over her still flat abdomen, knowing she should tell Robin sooner rather than later about their expanding family, but, she just found out today, and it's a lot to take in. As she falls asleep, she realizes how important it is to trust others now, as she will be more on the sidelines for the next 9 months; not will to let anything possibly harm her unborn child.
The next day, they depart the underworld. As Hades kidnaps her infant niece, Regina takes it upon herself to rescue her. Robin is angry that she would willingly put herself in danger, even if it's for a child, and follows her into the tunnels under her mayoral office. She walks toward the tunnel opening with purpose, silent tears trailing down her cheeks. Robin follows behind at a safe distance, knowing she needs her space. As she reaches the opening she turns around and grabs Robin's hand, twirling the ring that sits on his ring finger.
"I'm sorry you're mad that I came down here," she sniffs, damn hormones, "But Robin, she's only a baby and Zelena can't do much without her magic…" she trails on.
"Hey, hey," Robin shushes her with a whisper, grabbing her waist with one hand, wiping her tears with the other, "There's no need to cry, my love, I could never be mad at you. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten upset with you, I just worry. We barely escaped the underworld and now you're headed into another round with Hades, I don't get it."
"Robin, she's only 5 months old, he could hurt her so easily. Maybe even kill her, just to spite us." Regina's eyes well with tears again, at the thought. "She's a child, barely older than our baby."
"Our what?!" Robin exclaims, pulling his wife into his arms, "You're pregnant?" He asks, with a whimsical gaze.
"Yes." Regina cries into his shoulder. "And this baby will only be a little bit younger than her, I just can't let anything happen to my niece, okay?" She says after the sobs died down.
"I understand milady, just stay behind me, I'll protect you both." He proposes.
"Deal." Regina smiles, a hand laid protectively on her abdomen, happy to know her job was to protect the little one inside, while Robin got the little one on the outside.
After another battle, they get to go home. All of them. Regina likes that they think of Storybrooke as that now, home. They pickup Roland and head back to the mansion. Hades didn't use the crystal because Zelena walked in just in time, grabbed the crystal, and obliterated Hades with it. She was furious that he would put her daughter in danger by using a weapon like that around her. Luckily for Zelena, she had her daughter's father and the love of her life now, Neal, so she no longer loved Hades.
Regina smiles as she unlocks the door to the mansion and ushers her sons in. They were finally home, all of them.
