Sorry for any mistakes.
Chapter 1: part II
When Robin left the room, Regina stood there staring at the door for a while. What was he doing to her? How could she feel something for thief? For someone she barely even knew? Was it because of the tattoo? Was he really her soul mate? The one she was distant to be with?
She went over and sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at the gift she still had in her hands. It was a small box. It was wrapped up in a nicely, making it seem like he had spent lots of time wrapping it up. Regina sighed for a moment. What could he possibly had gotten her? She didn't know wheter she wanted to know or not. What if it could make her even more confused or if he was just teasing her?
She breathed out, she hadn't even realized she had been holding her breath. Slowly she unwrapped the gift. Of course it was another box. She slowly opened the box and inside it where a ring. It was plane silver. Why would he get her a ring? Was this a joke? She picked the ring up and noticed there where something engraved inside it.
"When you doubt most, simply take a look at your destiny," It was written with an old language, but she understood right away what it meant. It was a very powerful ring. One that could only service you once. It was called the future ring. It was said that whoever had it on could see the future. Just for a day. See whatever they wanted to. But they had to be careful, cause even though they could see the future, they could not chance it. what Was going to happen, was going to happen. That was why it was a ring for broken souls. People who had lost hope and needed a reason to fight. Just like she did.
After she had lost Daniel she had looked everywhere to find it. But no matter how much she had tried or how powerful her magic had become she never could find it. How could Robin find it? Had he stolen it? Did he even know of its powers? She thought. She flipped the ring in her hand, tempted to just put in on and see if she would be with Henry again. Had Robin used it? Had he seen in the future? The questions all became too much and she decided to go find them out herself.
First she went to his room. But no one answered so she started searching around in the gardens. After looking for him for an hour, she finally gave up and sat down on a bench beside her apple tree. The moon where big and bright on the sky. The stars where shining just as bright.
"A little late for a beautiful queen, to be outside. Wouldn't you say so milady?" She jumped hearing his voice behind her.
"Robin?!" She screamed at him, when she was startled. He smirked and walked towards her.
"Didn't know an evil queen would scare so easily," He said sarcastically with a playful tone.
"I wasn't scared! A bit shocked, that's all," She defended. Robin sat down beside her.
"I thought I could expect you out here, when you had opened the gift. Sometimes we need think things through before we get out answers, and the moonlight always seem to help solve it a bit," He said. Regina took a deep breath.
"I was actually looking for answers from you. Seems that when search for you I can't find you, but when I'm not you are always there," She didn't even know why she said that. She let herself rip her walls down a bit.
"Well you can ask me anything, milady?" He said. She nodded.
"Where did you get it? I take it that you didn't just buy it from a shop," She said. He shocked his head.
"No I didn't. I have actually had it with me for quite a long time. You see when I lost my wife, I was desperate, I needed a reason to go on. And so I had heard of the ring. And so one day, when I was… Doing my job, I actually found it. Lying on the ground, it had been dropped," he said.
"Guess that answers my next question," She said. He looked confused at her.
"If you had used it." She said.
"I didn't. I remembered that all magic comes with a price, and when I was starting to realize I already had a reason to go on, I didn't want to pay the price," He said.
"And what made you think I am?" She asked him silently.
"I'm not sure if you are. but I thought I'd give you the opportunity to actually have the choice. Since I won't need it," he said with a smile.
"Thank you," She said and took a deep breath looking at the ring.
"Are you going to?" He asked her, at first she was confused by his question, then he continued. "Use it," she didn't take her eyes of the ring.
"I don't know." She said honestly.
"I'm afraid that it might do more damage then it'll do good," She admitted. Robin was taken aback by her reveal of her feelings. But it only took him a second to respond.
"Just know that whatever you chose to do, I'll be right here milady," he said putted his hand on hers to show his support. Regina looked down at their joined hands, her heart beating faster. Why did he make her feel like this? Without any of them even realizing their heads was moving closer to each other's. Until they could feel each other's breaths.
"I know this is wrong, giving that you are the queen and I am just a theif. But you make it so hard, and right now I really want to kiss you," he admitted.
"Why?" She asked. He looked confused at her. "Why would you want to kiss me?" She asked again. This time he was confused by her question, was it a trick? But then he saw how honest her question was.
"You are the most stunning and sexy woman I have ever come across, and the way you are around my son. There is just so many sides of you that makes you so delicate and so beautiful," He said. There eyes never once breaking contact.
"I…" She didn't know what to say. Never before had someone called those words without wanting something from her or being afraid of her.
He leaned forwarded breaking the space between this, his lips on hers. She was even more stunning then he had imagined. He felt like a thousand butterflies was going crazy in his stomach and he had never experienced a kiss like this before. Any man that had gotten the chance to kiss her lips whenever they wanted was the luckiest in the world. He thought to himself. She parted their lips again and opened her eyes.
"I am so jealous of the king," He said. "Such a lucky man to have had you as his wife," He said. Regina smiled, but the thought of the king made her upset. It didn't take long for Robin to notice.
"I am sorry milady, for making you upset," He said. Afraid he shouldn't have kissed her. "I shouldn't have kissed you," he said. She immediately putted her other hand on his.
"It wasn't your action, it was more the mention of the king," she said.
"I'm sorry I overstepped," He said.
"No it's just that, the king never really loved me. He used me," She said. Robin was shocked by hearing that.
"I was so young; I didn't want to be queen. I had just lost the love of my life. He was too old for me and he loved his first wife. I was just there for his needs and because he wanted a beautiful queen beside him and a young one as well. He never ever tried to love me," She didn't even know why she said that.
"how old were you?" he whispered.
"just turned 17," she said looking Down.
"I can't believe it..." he mumbeld angrily... "he used you like that," He said and stood up. Regina was surprised by he's reaction. He hit the tree hard. But it seemed to backfire pretty bad. Still he kept going.
"Stop it," She said and walked in between the tree and Robin.
"That tree never really did anything to hurt anyone," She teased him and he seemed to calm down. He closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breath. Then he put his hand softly and lovingly on her cheek. Which made her smile.
"It's just I hate when men use women. And especially you. How could he not realize how lucky he was to have you? I would have given everything to have known you back then. You were alone… It just pisses me off that he could be so kind to everyone, but so evil to the most beautiful woman in all realms. If I was to ever be that lucky, I would remind you every day… It's just so hard to understand," He said softly and calmed down. Regina was so stunned by his words. Not even Daniel had said anything near that.
"You are the first person to ever say that to me," She admitted. He shook his head, but only to realize she wasn't lying.
"Well then every man you have come across are fools," He said. She leaned forward and kissed him. He responded the second her lips was on his. He putted his arms around her waist pulling her in tighter; she moved her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. Regina started pulling up in his shirt as he pushed her against the tree he was punching before.
"We… Can't…" He said between kisses. She was making it hard to resist. She just kept going and the kiss got more and passionate. Until Robin finally got the strength to pull away.
"As much as I'd love to be with you in every possible, making love to you now after all that has been said. I would feel like I had used you or persuaded you into doing it," He said. He was so noble.
"Even if it was your only chance?" she asked. He still didn't let go of her.
"Even if my life deepened on it," he said and smiled. Which made her smile. She was so beautiful when she smiled and it made Robin feel so happy. And wanting her even more. But this time instead of kissing her he pulled her into his arms to a warm hug.
"What did I ever do to deserve such a beautiful woman in my life," He whispered in her ear making her chuckle.
"Well I know what I didn't do to deserve you," She said ironically. Which made him smile. Instead of responding he lifted her up and spun her around. At first she panicked, but then she laughed with him. Until he put her down and kissed her.
"Daddy?" He stopped kissing her as he heard his son's voice. A bit embarrassed they had been interrupted he turned to look at his him.
"My boy. What are you doing out of bed," he asked. Roland had the monkey Regina had given him in his hand. He looked really tired.
"I heard John say you were looking for Gina, so I wanted to help you. I thought she was lost," He said. He was so cute, she couldn't even stop herself from laughing.
"Well that was very sweet of you my boy, but you can't just wonder around the castle gardens in the middle of the night. It could be very dangerous," He said.
"But you are out here and maybe Gina needed my help." He said. This time Robin couldn't stop him self from smiling. He picked his son up.
"Well I am much older then you my boy and I was out looking for the queen myself. Just ask John next time okay Roland?" Roland nodded.
"Are you okay Gina?" He asked her. Reaching out for her. Robin gave him to Regina who kissed his forehead.
"I am now that the bravest and sweetest night in the castle just saved me," She said. Roland laughed and looked really proudly at his dad.
"Even braver and sweeter then daddy?" He asked. Regina looked at Robin, he smiled at the scene in front of him.
"Well your daddy is brave himself, but you my little man are the bravest of all," She said. Roland looked proud again and hugged her. She putted him down and they all started walking back towards the castle.
"Daddy did you and Gina make love?" Roland asked innocently, Regina's eyes widened and she looked shocked at Robin. But he looked just as shocked by Roland question.
"John told me when someone kisses, they are making love, that's why kisses are serious thing. He told me," Roland said and smiled at them. Not even knowing what he had just said.
"Well John is right that it is sort of a love, and that it is serious thing." Robin said trying to teach his son what kiss meant.
"So are you and Gina getting married?" Again Regina's eyes widened and she looked shocked at Robin. He didn't seem to know what to answer his boy.
"You'd like that?" Regina asked with a smile, trying not to get eye contact with Robin. Roland nodded and took Regina's hand.
"Yes cause then I would be a prince," He said. Regina laughed and picked Roland up.
"I don't have to merry your dad for you to become a prince, If you want to I can just make you one," She said and she could hear Robin laugh with her.
"Did you hear that dad, I'm gonna be a prince," He said in excitement. She looked at Robin who was wearing a big smile glad they had moved on from the earlier conversation.
"Well you are a very lucky boy. The queen most like you," He said.
"Indeed she does. After all I would be lonely if I didn't have a little prince to share my kingdom with," She said. Roland laughed.
"But you have to promise me as my prince, that you won't just run off again. I would be very said if I ever lost my prince," She said. He nodded excited.
"I promise you, maybe daddy can be your new brave knight then," He said.
"That sounds like a plan," she said. Roland yawned. And she could see he was struggling keeping his eyes open. He didn't want to miss a single thing.
"But you do know that there are big expertasions to princes. Like listening to you dad, going to bed so you are fresh for the next day, and eating as many pancakes you can when you wake up tomorrow," Roland clapped excited.
as they walked Roland feel asleep in her arms. They made their way to his room and Regina slowly laid him down on his bed and kissed his forehead.
"Goodnight my little prince," She said and got a flashback to when she had called Henry that. It wasn't that she was replacing him or anything, but Roland kept her mind of how unhappy she was and she loved the little kid already.
"Thank you," Robin said as they closed the door to Roland's room.
"For what?" She asked him. He smiled and putted he's arms around her waist.
"Being so good with my son, he absolutely adores you," He said. This time she smiled.
"Well I do adore him myself and he's a very sweet kid and even if he's father can be a stubborn ass, I'd like him to be happy and I'd like him to have a friend," She said.
"Who Roland or his father?" He asked playfully.
"Definitely Roland. He's father I have a different plan for," She answered playfully to him. He smiled pulled her closer.
"Is that so?" He asked and kissed her. She nodded while kissing him.
"I do believe we were interrupted before," He said.
"Don't you dare," She narrowed her eyes at him, but he just laughed and lifted her up bridal style and started spinning her. So she screamed and laughed.
"Robin stop! We are going to wake the entire castle, including your son," He stopped spinning her, but didn't put her down. Instead he just kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck deepening the kiss. But Robin broke it seconds after.
"Now my queen, I do believe you have to get some sleep as well. After all being a queen you are expected to listen to me and sleep and apparently eat pancakes tomorrow morning," He teased her.
"Those where for Roland, I for one only have to listen to me," she said. He started walking towards her bedchamber not putting her down.
"Well my queen, as you said I am very stubborn, and I think it's time for you to get some sleep." He said and laid her down on her bed. She sighed as she actually started to feel tired.
"Will you stay?" She asked him. He stood for a moment wondering what her motives where. She crawled under her big double blanket and waited for an answer. He went over to the door making her heart ache. But then he closed it.
"Only if you will promise me, not to tempt me," He said seriously. She smiled at how nice he was being. And it was nice to know that she could tempt him.
"I promise," she said and in a purple smoke she had changed from her clothing to a nightgown her, curls down her shoulders and she was laying on the bed. Looking even more beautiful than before.
"And you already broke that promise" he said as he took of his shoes and jacket off.
"I didn't." she said. He nodded.
"You look even more stunning when you have your hair down, it's not fair," He said and lay down beside her, crawling under the blanket.
"I know I promised not to tempt you, but don't you think it's going to be really hot when you are wearing all your clothing?" She was trying to sound serious and not playfull. And before he could even answer he was wearing what he always slept in. A pair of short and his boxers of course.
"Much better," She said trying not to laugh at his eyes widening and his blushing.
"Now let's get some sleep," He said and closed his eyes. She moved closer to him and rested her head on his bare and warm chest. The sound of his beating relaxed her. She laid one of her arms around him. And before he got to say something she closed her eyes. He putted and arm around her and the other resting on her hand. And tangled up in each other they both feel asleep. And that was the best night sleep they had ever gotten.
