Short chapter but I hopefully you like it. Sorry for any spelling mistakes. Let me know if you like it.

Thank you for the support you have given so far and the continued support you give. This chapter is rubbish. But hopefully you will like it.

It had been a few days since Regina had been living in the Locksley's house. The first night Robin had let Regina sleep in his bed while he used the spare room that was full of rubbish and no covers due to the fact they were in the wash. However, the next day while he had asked Roland to show Regina around the area surrounding the house, he got to work on moving the stuff into the other spare room. The one without a bed in it.

They spent the evenings cooking together and then having a meal with his son, it hadn't really been anything special. But Regina felt that at least she had people to be around, that she had the company of another human. And for the first time in weeks, since the saviour had ruined everything. Regina felt happy.

She sat up in bed with a start, her breathing heavy, sweat falling down her face. Heart beating like it was going to burst out of her chest, and then the running of feet up the stairs. And then knocking on the door before Robin walked in. His breathing like hers, but probably from the fact of running up the stairs.

"Are you okay?" He asked through breaths as he tried to gain back his original pace.

Regina nodded before speaking. "I just woke up with a start." She looked down at her hands that where now tingling. Then Regina looked up at Robin with a frown across her features.

"There was this smoke, it came over the whole forest. Me and Roland are fine, but I thought I would check to make sure you were."

Regina thought for a minute, allowing a silence to occupy the room before she once again spoke having come to conclusion.

"My hands-." She stated before continuing. "They're tingling, and a smoke cloud-." She paused for a moment. "I think magic is in town." Robins look of confusion made Regina stand out of bed and look out of the window, like she was trying to look for something to explain to him that what she was saying was true.

"How is that possible?"

Regina turned back around to look at him. As she then shrugs her shoulders, the real world wasn't meant to be able to hold magic, but this town wasn't exactly 'the real world' it was made from magic.

"This town was made from magic, I guess the town can have magic in it." She said before walking toward her bedroom door.

"So, what does that mean for you?" He asked slightly weary, if the town had magic… which meant Rumple had magic and then in turn towns people could get hold of magic. Then there could be a war about to happen.

Regina turned around and smirked at him, one of her famous Evil Queen ones that knew people were in trouble.

"It means I can get my revenge." And with that the brunette made her way down the stairs and out the house, Robin following her. He had to get through to her somehow.

"Regina, no. I won't let you. You're different." He tried, he needed to get it into Reginas mind that killing innocent, and not so innocent people was not the way to go. She needed to be assured that she did not need magic and that no matter what he would be there for her.

"Maybe I am not, maybe all I needed was my magic." She said turning around to face him in the silence of the forest, the air was different around them. One all too familiar to the both of them who had both been in the presence of the thing they could feel… magic. Regina took a deep breath, closing her eyes. She turned around to a tree, drew her hands back once again taking a deep breath and temporarily closing her eyes, before pushing her hands forward and opening her dark orbs.

Nothing.

Where was her magic? She was meant to damage the tree, why wasn't it working, Regina tried again, nothing. She grew frustrated as she turned to Robin, an angry brow furrowed as she stormed her way back into the house. Robin huffing and once again following her into the lounge of the house which had pretty much became theirs over the last few days.

Regina had said she isn't a guest, and should be treated like she lived here. Which meant she wanted to help out around the house, clean, and Robin had offered to let her spend family time with them. Regina had declined that until a few days later, saying their daily 'family time' was for Robin and Roland, but when the boy kept asking for her to leave her room and join them Regina after a while agreed and now she spent her evenings with the boy and his father. Not as long as the two to three hours, she still thought they should have time for just the two of them. But she did spend some of it with them.

But it worried her, the boy was becoming close to her and was calling her his 'other mommy'. Regina didn't want to let him down if something happened and she couldn't stay. And she and Robin where not together so she couldn't say she was a mother to him. Plus, would Robin even want a relationship? His wife had passed away and Regina knew the last thing you want after the love of your life passes away is move on to somebody else. She had never fully accepted Leopold, couldn't. And instead let the Evil Queen be born.

There was that as well, being the infamous Evil Queen. One of the reasons everybody wanted to kill her. Would he want a relationship with somebody who held him hostage? Somebody so bad? She knew he had forgiven her for sparing his life, but she still took him. But something told her to let him go. She could have killed him if she wanted to. But Regina let him go. But she had felt something.

Regina knew the feeling she felt toward him, one she had been trying to push back the last few days. One that made her beg in her mind, that he would be willing to let somebody into his heart. Because despite the small amount of time, she did feel something, something strong and powerful. A connection.

She felt…

Love.

Regina walked over to Robin, a face a more softer way now as she looked into his deep pools. She could get lost in them if she wasn't careful.

"If I get my magic back- I- I won't go after revenge for it." She spoke honestly, in a quiet soft voice as she continued with her honesty with a seal of fact. "I promise." And with that, Robin smiled. Took her hands in his and then spoke.

"You do not have to do this alone, I will be with you. I have said you can stay here as long as you want." And with that Regina smiled warmly, and looked down at their connecting hands. And that's when she seen it, how hadn't she seen it all those years ago. How hadn't she seen it the last few days.

The 'Lion Tattoo.' The symbol of her soul mate. Regina gasped and broke their hands apart, Robin clearly confused looked down at her hands and then his noticing she had been surprised by the black ink on his wrist.

He held the arm up to present it, Reginas brown eyes following his action until the arm was shown clearly to her. And then he spoke.

"My tattoo, I got it when I was younger-." She broke him off.

"I- I have seen it before." She explained with a stutter of her voice, Robin looking at her with curiosity and confusion, his eyes asking her to continue. Voicing his look with a 'please continue.' He didn't see how she looked so shocked by it, if she noticed it last time they met she wasn't surprised by it last time. But this time it was like something about the tattoo meant something, like she had found out something massive about him.

"A fairy, called Tinkerbell. Helped me find my soulmate, but I was too scared to see him." She paused, Robin looking at her with such interest and devotion to hear what she chad to say. "I never seen him, but I seen his wrist." She continued, surprising herself that she was telling Robin this. She wouldn't if she didn't trust him but now it made sense why she did.

"It was yours." She said, looking at his blue eyes. He listened to her contently, only speaking now.

"Me?" Robin asked with a mix of happiness and confusion at the same time, Regina nodded.

"You." She then asked. "May I?" Asking for permission to touch the part of his wrist where the tattoo laid. Robin silently nodded and she moved her right hand onto the ink. Her hand tracing over it, sending tingles across his arm.

She then looked up at him, hand dropping down. They looked into each other's eyes, seeing love for one another. And then they were leaning forward, lips brushing against one another, lips beginning to press as Robin wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. One full of true love and the connection of soulmates.

And that's when they felt it, a force over them. They both pulled away as Regina felt a strong presence of magic flowing through her. He had done it, he had given Regina her magic back. Just to be sure she held her hand in front of her, conjuring a fire ball, closing her fist and stopping its warmth and glow as soon as it had been made.

Regina looked at Robin and smiled, before speaking.

"You got me my magic back." A whisper from her.

Robin knew she wanted her revenge before. But this time Regina looked like she was just happy to have it, like the last thing she wanted to do was hurt people with it. But he wanted to make sure.

"What does this mean?" Regina knew what he meant and wore a genuine look as she shook her head.

"I won't go after them." Robin smiled back at her saying a thank you before she spoke again.

"But, if you will have me still. I want to stay here. With you and Roland, maybe I can use my magic to protect me to see Henry, show him I have changed and if he wants to see me. If it is okay with you-." He stopped her.

"Henry is more than welcome here."

"Thank you."

"And you are welcome to live here, Roland adores you. And me, I think you already know that. I, I have feelings for you." He admitted, knowing that she wouldn't have her magic back if she did not feel the same. Everything felt right, like she was in the right place being here. And having Robin here and Roland and if she could prove to Henry she had changed, she could be happy. Regina could be honestly happy.

What she didn't know was, that kiss. It didn't just give her magic.

Will she get a happy ending. Or is the rule that Villains don't get happy endings going to play out for her. Only time will tell if Regina can be happy.
