AN:

Good day my Apple Heads.

A bit longer of an update, thanks to my finger getting better. YAY!

Enjoy!


Nine

Regina had dreamt pleasant dreams. After the night she'd just had with Daniel –whom drove her home and told her what great night they had. The smile she woke with did not leave her face.

"How about some apple pancakes, my little knight," she said to a half asleep Roland –who snuggled his head on her shoulder as she carried him down to the kitchen.

"Ok."

Regina had just set Roland down, when the doorbell ringing had caused her to leave her little sleeping tot and head to the door. She usually didn't get visitors in the early morning hours and by way of Mal's text, she wouldn't be seeing her friend until evening hours, when she would untangle herself from whomever she's with.

"Ugh, you. What do you want?" Regina said, amongst having opened her door.

Robin grinned. "I come bearing the gift of breakfast."

Before she could toss him out, Roland had caught his father's voice and ran into the hallway.

"Daddy!"

"Hello Roland. I bring breakfast."

Regina fumed but kept the smile on for her son's sake. She didn't want Robin in her home, it was enough that she had to watch for half the night as he conversed with that Tinkerbell. Daniel had not noticed Robin within the restaurant and that had been a good thing for her.

"Yay! Are you going to be staying daddy?" asked Roland.

Robin looked to Regina, as though mentally saying, what are you going to tell him this time. Regina rolled her eyes, taking Roland by the hand and leading him back into the kitchen, no cooking for her at the moment.

"Yes, daddy will be staying."

Hearing Roland cheer once more broke her heart. All she's ever wanted for her son was a happy home, two parents and lots of love. He had lots of love, never lacked in that department but never did he have two stable parents at home.

"So where did you and Coulter get to?" Robin asked when Roland had been immersed in Sunday morning cartoons. Regina rolled her eyes, she knew he'd come to ask about the night before.

"He took me behind a tree and had his way with me. And I let him," Regina said with as serious an expression as she could muster.

Robin remained slack jawed. Regina looked in Roland's direction being sure that he heard nothing of their words and stared animatedly at the television. They weren't speaking in the same room but one never knew what kids listened to when adults spoke.

"Cat got your tongue," she husked, enjoying his taken back expression. Robin remained silent. In his mind did he try to understand if she stood serious or had been joking but the thought of someone else touching her, it bothered him.

"That is not funny Regina," he hissed.

Regina smirked. "Ah, so he's alive. And it was to me."

"He is not to touch you!" he bellowed.

Regina spun on her heels, jabbing him in his chest. "You are not to yell in my house nor tell me whom I can and can't be around."

Robin breathed in harsh pants. Anger encircled him. He could not control what's pouring out of his mouth.

"I don't want him around Roland. You are not to bring him into this house."

Regina shook her head, she couldn't believe the nerve of Robin. His jealousy was way out of proportion. Nor could she believe, that he had the audacity to think she'd introduce her son to a man –whom she's just gone on one date with.

"Do you think me so stupid, hmm Robin? So stupid to bring another person around my son. I am not and this is my house."

"No this is –"

"No, this is MY house. It would have been ours had you not gone off."

Robin bit his lip. He pissed her off. He could see it in the way her chocolate brown eyes glinted and darkened. He had allowed jealousy to overpower him and enraged Regina.

"And stay away from me. You cannot literally pop up in every space we are in."

Robin once more did not think but spoke. "Oh no. Watch me."

He knew his words did not do anything better for him but he'd show her she couldn't be rid of him that easy.

"You are an infuriating being Robin Locksley!" she hissed.

"And you Regina Mills…you are just pushing me away and I will prove it. I will prove how I will always be there. ALWAYS!"

Regina growled in frustration. She had a big problem and his name happened to be Robin. She couldn't shake him. All these years he's hurt her, made it seem at times that he wanted nothing to do with her and the second she happens to step out with another is he in her way. How fate seemed to hate her for some reason. And sadly Robin was proving she'd never be able to get rid of him. Beginning with his jealous stalker routine.

Day One Of Jealous Robin.

"Are we still on for horseback riding?" Daniel asked.

Regina had been surprised when Daniel entered her office with lunch. From her office windows could she see Mal giving her a thumbs up before winking at her and walking away.

"Yes, we are still on," she said.

"Great. See you Saturday."

Regina nodded as he walked out, heading for a meeting, leaving her alone in her office. She grinned at the prospect of horseback riding, she's not rode in a long time and hoped that when she did ride, she didn't get as sore from lack of riding. Her thoughts were disrupted when of course entered her least favorite person, though her heart told her otherwise but she's shut it up long enough.

"Another date with Danny boy," he said, taking a seat in her office.

Regina rolled her eyes. "It's Daniel and yes, we've another date."

"Seems a bit desperate, don't you think?"

"No, not as desperate as you dear," she said.

"I'll let that slide Gina."

She groaned. "Don't call me that."

Robin rose from his seat. "Well I must get going. Meeting with Gold. See you soon Gina."

Regina stabbed her pen onto the paper. She wouldn't dare say it aloud but he's sure proving to always be there. Damn, she thought, wondering just how long could she deal with him.
