A/N Two updates in less than a day. It is still a bit short, but it is left on a cliff hanger.
I hope you like and don't forget to let me know. Thank you.
It had been a day since her and Robin had split up, two nights of tossing and turning. Of near constantly crying. Regina had hardly eaten as the sadness consumed her and she barley felt the will to live. She just wanted to curl up and die. The day before had literally involved her sitting in her Livingroom, on the sofa staring into space. She couldn't do anything as pain filled her being. How could she be so stupid? Of course she trusts Robin. She was angry, upset.
So, the next day, the day after one that had involved her sitting there doing nothing. Regina woke up, another sleepless
night. And had a shower before going downstairs and making breakfast. She knew she had to eat, her mind becoming slightly more clear for the baby. After she lightly applied some make up, just enough to cover the bags of lack of sleep under her eyes, and the weakened complexion she now had.
Robin had gone to his parents' house the night of the argument, he had hardly talked or done anything. Spending most of his time by himself. He just felt like everything had been taken from him.
Robin sat in his room, his old room. The room he spent his childhood in. Staring out the window as he sat on the sofa next to the window. A knock on the door and his mother walked in, and sat next to him.
"What happened Robin?" She asked softly as he looked toward her, his face filled with dried tears.
"Regina, she um, she got upset and, we um, had a fight." He said stuttering, trying to control himself with the threat of crying.
She nodded. She didn't want to know too much. It was their business and if he wanted to tell her, he will.
"What is happening between you two?"
Robin shrugged his shoulders before he spoke. "I don't know. I mean we split up, so I guess that's it."
"If you love her, you fight for her." Her voice remained calm, gentle, loving, caring as she spoke to her only child. Her comforting words and ways trying to show him there was still a chance for him and Regina to work this out. But he shook his head.
"What it was about, I don't think we can work through it. And besides I cancelled it." He said.
"You cancelled the ring?"
"There's no point proposing if we are not together."
"And the place your father was arranging?" She asked with seriousness, a bit of authority rather than motherly concern temporarily taking over.
"He is cancelling it." His mother sighed.
"I know you love her. Fight for her, don't give up. You two want to be adults, having your own home. You have been planning this engagement for months. If you break at the first sign of trouble you will never truly be an adult." She spoke honestly, trying to get Robin to realise. And maybe a bit of him did as he looked at her, an idea seeming to form in his mind.
"I am not ready to see her yet, but could you do something for me. Please?"
"What is it?"
Knock, knock, knock.
Regina rushed to the door, maybe it was news about Robin. She ran to the door as fast as she could, and to her delight Robins mother was at the door.
"Mrs Hood ho-."
"I am getting some of Robins stuff." The older, light brunette answered as she waited for Regina to let her in. Mrs Hood was a kind woman, and she had always loved Regina and been welcoming to have her in the family. She always smiled and always helped people. And despite knowing what had happened between the couple she still smiled warmly at Regina and spoke in a soft and gentle voice.
"Of course, come in." Regina said quietly as she stepped to the side to let the lady in, Mrs Hood stepped into the house and walked through the foyer as she said "Thank you." To Regina, who closed the door and followed her through the house and into the dining room.
"How's Robin?" Regina continued to speak quietly, not having the energy to speak properly, and the sadness she was feeling consuming her.
"He is doing okay, if I am honest he is more worried about you." The woman said as she turned to face Regina, the similarities between the two ladies were incredible. They both had brown hair, even if Robins mom had lighter, they both had dark orbs. And their personalities were of the purest of kindness.
"Did he tell you about what happened?" Regina asked, not knowing the details, and he probably told them but she didn't want to say anything that they didn't know. She hadn't even told her parents what had happened just that they had split up. To which Regina's mother was surprisingly upset about, but there again Robin was probably the only boyfriend Regina had ever had that her mother accepted.
Regina's father was a different story, he had always been fine with her boyfriends, even if he kept an eye on them. And Robin was his favourite, they use to spend time together, Robin wanted to know Regina's family so the two men use to go out to the woods sometimes. And quickly Robin had been accepted into the family.
"He told us you two had an argument and that you split up, but I am guessing there is more to it. If it was so bad for you to split up." Regina looked down, she didn't know if she should tell her. It kind of was Regina's fault.
"I said I didn't trust him. He said he had been spending time with his father. But he was coming home with the smell of alcohol."
"Well, I can say he was with his father." Regina looked up at her, a confused look on her features. She just didn't understand why Robin wouldn't tell her why. What was the big secret?
"What was he doing then?" Regina asked.
Mrs Hood sighed, not knowing if she should tell Regina or not. Maybe half the truth would be good enough.
"He was planning something for you. He had been for months. He needed his father to help."
"Oh-." Was all she could say, the realisation hitting that maybe she had been too harsh on him. Overreacted and now they were split up because of her. because she didn't trust him. But that was the problem, she hadn't trusted him. She hadn't when it had been innocent. Because she thought he was off drinking and leaving her by herself, because she thought he was going to leave her.
Relationships were on trust and honesty, Regina knew that. And that scared her because now, because she did not trust him she didn't know how it could be fixed. If she didn't have trust in him. How much she had hurt him. Would he even want to be with her? Would it even work anymore?
"The thing is now though, could you make it work?" Regina shrugged, a few tears threatening to leave her eyes. She honestly didn't know.
"I didn't trust him; can it really be fixed?" She asked, and his mother just gave the saddest of faces. And really that said it all.
"Relationships are based on trust, when that's gone, well I know a lot of people who didn't trust each other and they didn't last long." Because she wasn't going to lie to Regina, she wasn't going to tell her that everything was going to be fine. Because she was a grownup and this was the reality. She knew people who had separated from lack of trust and very rare to see people she knew get through that.
"Well I guess that is our answer."
"I should go, are you going to be okay?" She asked and Regina nodded. Mrs Hood walked toward the door before Regina spoke up.
"Didn't you want to get some of his stuff?" Regina asked, to which the older woman turned around before opening the door.
"It's not important, he has enough."
"You didn't come for clothes, did you?" Regina felt her emotions change from sadness to anger. He was checking up on her.
"He was concerned."
"Concerned? Ha! I bet this was the plan wasn't it, dig it in a bit more that me and him were over." She said, jumping to the wrong conclusions. A trait Regina had when she got angry.
"It's not like that. He was worried about you." His mother remained calm, a gentle voice trying to calm Regina, she had seen Regina be angry before and she knew getting angry herself was not the way to calm things.
"Tell him, that yes I am fine. And he had his wish. We are well and truly over. And if he thinks that there is anything he can do to get me back. It won't work." She said meaning the baby. She wasn't going to get back with him just because of that, or tell his mother, that was up to him to do. And with that Regina walked up the stairs of their house, leaving his mother to stand in the foyer, before she opened the door and left.
Upstairs Regina slammed her door shut, of the bedroom, throwing herself onto the sofa that laid by the window, tears streaming down her face. She was angry, upset. How dare he send his mother to check on her. Whatever his intentions where he shouldn't have done it, they are over and that is it. Just because she was carrying his baby did not give him the right to keep a watch on her. This is her baby too, in fact she is the one carrying it so whatever she wants to do she will.
That when she had a plan, one that would truly hurt Robin. Picking up the phone she phoned her doctor, she had arrangements to make.
At Robins house, Robin was still in his room. Waiting for his mother to arrive home and tell him how it went. He had asked her to speak to Regina, he wasn't ready yet. But he wanted to know she was okay. Not just for the baby's sake, but because he cares and loves her and he wants her to be okay and to know how she felt about all of this.
His mother knocked on the door and walked in, walking over to where he was still seated on the sofa. He looked up at her, waiting answers, hopefully good ones. But by the look on her face, he could tell they wasn't.
"What happened?" He asked, because he wanted to get to the point. There was no point sugar coating it and making everything appear better than what they were.
"You never told me she didn't trust you." She spoke quietly. And just as he was about to answer his phone lit up with a text.
"I have an appointment at the doctors at four about the baby." It was Regina, and she knew he wouldn't be able to make it. Because he was an hour away, and four was in half hour.
"You know I cannot make it in time." He replied.
She didn't reply. And it angered Robin.
"I cannot believe she would do this."
"Go, you might still get there in time." She said, because even if it was a long shot he should still try. Because he loves her.
Robin stood from the sofa and ran out of his room. He could try. And even if he missed the appointment at least he made the effort.
Robin got in the car, and as fast as he could drove to the doctors. He must have been going too fast but he didn't care he had to get to her.
4:10PM. Robin got out of the car as fast as he could and then he rushed into the doctors. But the question was, was he too late?
