Robin's POV
I woke up in the middle of the night. Or should I say early in the morning. Regina was still fast asleep on the couch but something didn't seem right. I felt someone else's presence. I sat up quickly scanning the dark room. I heard footsteps in the kitchen softly knocking on the ground. I got up slowly and quietly.
"Who's there?" I whispered stepping into the kitchen.
I turned the other corner turning on the kitchen light. I found the man rushing as he went through Regina's drawers.
"Hey!" I said loudly.
He turned around taking his gun out quickly.
"Step away." He ordered.
"Like that stopped me before?" I quickly remarked.
"Robin?" Regina asked walking in finding him and I.
"Regina, go back." I whispered.
She shook her head no.
"What do you want from me?!" She shouted.
He chuckled.
"All that matters is that you die." He replied coming towards her.
I pushed him back as he went to approach her with his gun. I quickly took the gun out of his hands as he tripped over my foot.
"No!" He shouted.
I pointed the gun at his head quickly standing in front of Regina.
"Robin don't." She said taking my arm.
"The police took you! How did you escape?!" I asked him.
He smirked evilly.
"You know your friends?" He replied turning to Regina.
"They're.. Gone." He added.
She let out a small gasp and her face went into shock.
"Kill him." She ordered.
"Regina no, this isn't right." I said turning over to her.
"He might've hurt my son!" She replied with anger in her voice.
"And he might've not." I added.
Her eyes were still full of anger and fright.
"And you, your not getting off the hook." I said turning to the man.
I hit his face hard with the back of the gun knocking him out.
"Robin, we have to find the others." She said grabbing her coat and opening the front door.
I nodded and followed her quickly.
Regina's POV
"Hurry up!" I shouted eagerly at Robin turning on my car.
He jumped in and caught his breath. I drove off quickly on my way to Granny's.
"I'm sure they're all fine." He said.
"Are you certain?" I asked sarcastically.
He sighed.
"I'm sorry I'm just worried." I added pressing the gas pedal harder.
He nodded silently.
"There's Emma!" He shouted a couple moments later.
I slammed my breaks.
"Regina!" Emma shouted approaching my car.
I got out quickly.
"Where's Henry?!" I asked impatiently.
"He's been missing all morning!" Emma added with a worried tremble in her voice.
"We'll find him." Robin said approaching us both.
"You brought your boyfriend?!" Emma asked.
"He's not!" I paused calming myself down.
"He's not my boyfriend." I said calmly.
"Right." Emma said sarcastically.
Robin chuckled.
"None of that matters right now! Henry is our main focus." I stated.
"So, you are dating?" Emma said with a tiny innocent smile.
I rolled my eyes.
"Your impossible." I mumbled under my breath.
"I'm sorry it's just it's good to see you happy.." Emma said.
"We're just friends!" I snapped.
She rolled her eyes.
"You go check the park and Robin and I will check the forest for awhile." I said.
Emma nodded and ran back to her bug. Robin and I got back in the car and we drove off again.
"So.." He said.
"Hmm?" I mumbled.
"What time is it?" He asked.
I checked my phone.
"6:30 am" I replied.
"I need to pick up Roland around 10:00 am." He said.
I nodded and continued to drive faster.
"What are you so worried about?" He asked.
"I'm worried that, that man hurt him or even worse killed him." I admitted.
"You can't think like that." He reminded me.
I sighed and each time I felt stressed I pushed the gas harder.
Minutes later we arrived at the entrance of the forest.
"Come on." I said getting out quickly.
He followed quickly and soon enough caught up with me.
"Still worried?" He asked.
I nodded at his comment and went faster.
"We'll find him, I believe in you." He added.
My phone started ringing seconds later. It was Belle.
"Hello?" I answered.
"I found Henry." Belle started quickly.
I stopped in my tracks.
"Is he okay? Is he hurt?" I asked.
"No No, he's fine." She replied.
"Where the hell was he?" I asked.
"He said he remembers blacking out and nothing else." She added.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Where are you guys now?" I asked.
"At Snow's apartment." She responded.
"I'll be there in a few." I finished clicking my phone off.
"They found him?" Robin asked.
I nodded with a smile.
"I told you he'd be fine." He quickly remarked.
"Thank you." I said.
"For what?" He asked.
"For believing in me." I replied with my smile growing smaller.
He smiled back and looked into my eyes which made my legs weak. And right there, was when I finally let myself believe, I was seriously in love with him.
"I- Let's go." I stuttered.
He nodded and we started walking.
Robin's POV
We got out of the car and went straight through Granny's to Snow's apartment.
"Mom!" Henry cheered approaching her for a hug.
They both hugged tightly.
"You scared me." Regina admitted to Henry putting her hand to his chin.
"I'm okay." Henry reminded her squeezing one of Regina's hands which urged Regina to smile.
"Who's this?" Snow asked looking at me.
"Oh, I'm Robin, I moved next door to her a couple days ago." I said reaching my hand out for her to shake
We shook hands.
"We're all gonna go down to Granny's tonight, you both should come." Snow said warmly.
Regina and I nodded.
"Hey I need to pick Roland up." I reminded Regina.
"Right, I'll see you guys later." Regina replied.
We both walked out and I waved.
We arrived at the camp and I quickly ran back.
"Papa!" Roland cheered running and crashing into my arms. "I missed you Papa!" Roland added.
"I missed you too." I said closing my eyes.
"Gina!" He cheered finally spotting her behind me.
I put him down and he ran to Regina.
"Up Up!" He cheered.
She looked at me for permission and I nodded.
"You don't have to ask." I whispered.
She picked him gently and he hugged her tightly.
"Are you feeling better?" Roland asked tugging her sleeve.
"Yep." She replied.
"Did Papa take care of you?" Roland asked looking over at me.
Regina smiled and nodded.
Roland looked at me and then Regina. He whispered something in her ear that made her laugh. She set him down and he ran to the car.
"What was that about?" I asked approaching Regina.
"He wants to get icecream." She replied with a slight chuckle.
"And then what?" I asked stepping a bit closer to her.
She paused.
"That part is entirely up to you." She said.
How bad I wanted to kiss her, right then, right there, those stained red lips with a warm smile spread across them. But she turned away before I could. She walked back to the car and I followed slowly behind her lost in my own thoughts.
Regina's POV
He decided he wanted to drive to the icecream place. We entered the shop with the new worker who was working there.
"Can I have chocolate with sprinkles?!" Roland asked cheerfully.
"Of course you can!" The worker said scooping the icecream and putting it in the cone.
"And would you two like anything?" The worker asked adding sprinkles onto the icecream.
Robin and I looked at eachother.
"I'll get a salty caramel icecream please." He said.
She nodded.
"What about you Regina?" Robin asked.
"I don't eat icecream that much." I lied.
"Come on Regina, I know you have a dirty little secret." He teased.
I rolled my eyes.
"I'll have chunky monkey." I said feeling a bit embarrassed.
Robin chuckled.
"Don't be embarrassed." He said laughing a little more.
"Ass." I mouthed to him so Roland didn't hear.
His laugh continued and it became contagious so of course I laughed.
"Here you go." The worker said handing Robin and I our icecreames.
"Thank you." Robin said paying the lady and leaving one dollar tip in the tip jar.
We left the shop and I decided I needed to get some work done at the office. I finished the last bit of icecream and threw my napkin away.
"I gotta go guys." I said.
"Aww!" Roland pouted.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked looking up at Robin.
He nodded.
"Bye Gina." Roland said hugging her legs.
My hand rested on his hair.
"Goodbye." I replied.
"See you later." Robin said.
I nodded and we both broke into different directions.
