I am so sorry for the long wait was extremely busy over these last couple of weeks but I should be able to update a little more. I hope y'all continue to enjoy it.
Robin, Roland, and the baby had come to stay at Regina's house for a while. Regina had let Roland stay in Henry's room till they got a better place ready. The baby was staying in Zelena's room...although Robin was a bit weary with this decision. Regina told him that she trusted Zelena with her own life and that he had nothing to worry about. And though he was worried he let the baby stay in the room with Zelena.
"Regina I will be right back I am gonna go tell the Roland goodnight." Robin told Regina.
"Okay, Robin. I am gonna go talk to Zelena."
"Alright," he said.
As they both walked down to the hallway Robin went to go tell Roland goodnight, while Regina went to Zelena's room.
"I be in there in a few minutes." Robin said.
"Okay." Regina watched Robin disappear into Henry's room. She then walked a few more feet to Zelena's room. She knocked on the door and then waited.
"Come in." She heard.
She poked her head in and said, "are you free to talk?"
"Yeah come in!" Zelena answered.
Zelena and Regina had a few hours earlier in the day, using magic to turn Zelena's room into somewhat of a baby's room. They had put a rocking chair in the corner of the room and crib at the end of her bed. There was a changing table on the wall next to the bed and a little dresser next to that full of baby clothes. They had chosen midnight blue, purple, and a dark pink for the baby's things. Zelena was sitting on the bed with her knees pulled up and the baby was sitting in her lap. Regina gently sat on the bed and scooted next to Zelena. Zelena was talking to the baby and Regina started laughing when the baby started to gurgle at her mother.
"You have a very beautiful daughter Zelena." Regina said, putting her hand on Zelena's shoulder.
"And she has a very beautiful and wonderful Aunt." Zelena said, looking Regina in the eye.
They had a moment of silence then Regina thought of something. "You know, you and Robin are gonna have to name her sometime!" Regina chuckling.
"I know. I have been thinking of names." Zelena laughed with her sister.
"Oh...You have?" Regina asked, getting curious.
"Yes but you know I can't tell you till l I tell Robin." Zelena said laughing at her sister.
"I guess that's fair enough." Regina said pouting. Regina put her head Zelena's shoulder and just closed her eyes. She felt so at peace in this moment. Henry was safe, Robin and Roland were down the hall, and here, was her sister and niece. She trusted Zelena maybe more than anybody. Everything was starting to feel okay. She felt so comfortable just laying on her sister's shoulder. Zelena slowly untangled her hand from the baby's hand and put it on Regina's head. She started playing with her sister's hair hoping it would relax Regina. It did. Within minutes Zelena looked down and saw Regina had dozed off. She smiled. How could her life get anymore perfect? She knew there was still things she needed to work through but she knew that she would make it. With Regina's help she would make it.
Lost in thought, Zelena didn't see Robin come in the door.
"Oh they both fell asleep." Robin said drawing Zelena back.
Zelena was somewhat startled but didn't show it. "Yeah Regina was out within minutes."
Robin laughed, "that's because she feels comfortable with you...she feels safe.
Zelena didn't respond. She knew Regina had been through a lot and had many reasons not to trust people. She understood what Regina was going through. they had both grew up never knowing what it felt like to feel safe. She knew that she could never give Regina reason to doubt her. Trust is built over the period of time but it can be easily broken. All it takes is one act or one word. She loved Regina more than anyone in the world and trusted her more than anyone in the world. She never wanted to lose her sister. She needed to be there for Regina in anyway possible.
"Regina is a very reserved person. It took me a long time to get her to open up to me and trust me. And it took her even longer to feel safe with me. But with you...it was like she had known you her whole life. When everyone despised you, said you were past the point of no return...she never gave up on you. When everyone thought you had taken our daughter and weren't coming back... She believed you were only trying to protect her. And every time...she was right. She saw something in you that nobody else could see. She saw herself. She saw that all you wanted was someone to love you for you. She saw all the years of pain you had been through. She saw the loss you felt over so many things. She saw the hole that was in your heart. And all she wanted to do... all she wanted to do was stop the pain. She wanted to fill the hole. She wanted to replace the loss you felt with love. She wanted to be your sister. So...no matter what you do never hurt her. She loves you. She needs you. Our daughter needs you." Robin then slowly walked over to Regina and kissed her on the forehead.
"Regina, my love." Robin tried to wake Regina from her sleep.
All he got from her was a, "hmmm."
"Roland wants you to come say goodnight to him." Robin smiled as she didn't even open her eyes but just pulled him closer and whispered in his ear, "I love you thief." And with that she stood up and walked out.
"Goodnight Regina." Zelena said.
"Goodnight." Regina replied
Robin waited till Regina was out of sight and then walked over to his daughter. "Good night my little archer." Robin said, as leaned down and kissed his daughters forehead. Zelena smiled at the sight. Robin went to go walk out but Zelena stopped him.
"Robin," she said.
"Yes," he said turning back around to look at Zelena.
"I think I know what a want to name our daughter." Zelena said looking back at the little girl laying in her lap.
"Roland." Regina said walking into the room.
Roland came popping up from behind the other side of the bed and barreling towards Regina.
"I am right here!" Roland said as he bear hugged Regina's legs. Regina burst out laughing at the little boy's excitement. Regina then picked him up and hugged him back. "I heard someone wanted me to come tell them goodnight." Regina said playfully.
Roland shook his head as a yes.
"Well then, lets get you tucked in." Regina said.
"Papa already did but I got up because I wanted you to tuck me in." Roland said, smiling.
Regina started laughing. "I don't think your Papa would like it that you like me better then him."
Roland gave Regina a big smile and said, "I don't think he'll mind."
"Well alright." Regina said giving in to the little boy's smile.
"Lets get you to bed." Regina said, walking over to the bed and helping Roland under the covers. Roland laughed and snuggled under the covers.
"I love you my sweet Roland." Regina said, as she leaned down and kissed the his forehead.
"I love you more Mama." Roland then kissed Regina's cheek and then turned over and closed his eyes. Regina turned off the lights and walked out of the room with tears in her eyes.
As she closed the door to Henry's bedroom Robin was walking down the hallway.
"Is he asleep?" Robin said walking up behind her, placing his hand on her back.
Regina turned around to answer him but before she could Robin saw the tears in her eyes.
"Regina are you okay?" Robin asked worried about her.
Regina just smiled as the tears continued to roll down her face and she let her arms fall to her side. "He called me mama." Regina said barely above a whisper.
Robin just laughed and brought Regina in for a hug. "Well of course he did! You are the closest thing he has to a mother and you love him like a mother loves her child. He knows you love him and he loves you." Regina just started to sob in her soulmate's arms. Neither one of them said anything just stood there enjoying each others comfort. After a few minutes Regina pulled away and ran her fingers under her eyes and then smiled at Robin. "Thank you Robin."
"For what?" Robin asked smiling back at Regina.
"For loving me. Trusting me to love your son. Being there for me when i need comforting. For excepting my sister after all she's done...For being you" Regina just stared at him.
Robin smiled and put one hand behind him and the other in front of him and bowed. "It's an honor milady."
"Well I am gonna go take a shower." Regina started walking away.
Robin smiled and called out, "Can I join you milady?"
Regina stopped and halfway turned her head and said, "at your own risk...thief."
