Star
"Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are," Regina sang. Roland's head lulled to the side and his eyes finally shut for the final time that night. She smiled and tiptoed to the door. She shut the door quietly behind her.
Robin leaned against the frame of her bedroom door, grinning. She tied the sash of her satin robe tighter. When she was close enough, Robin pulled her in for a kiss. The heart locket around his neck pressed against her skin.
Once they were inside her room, he put a few more logs on the fire before they settled on the bed. The picnic blanket overtop her comforter caught the crumbs from their late night snack. Robin wiped his mouth with the back of his sleeve.
"You've got to stop making these pies. I'm going to grow as round as Little John."
Regina smirked as she cut herself another slice. "I thought it was my home cooking that kept you coming back," she teased.
It was the second night she and Robin were trying out the new living arrangement. The first night, Roland said he couldn't get comfy in his new bed and whined until Robin and Regina let him stay in their bed. Hopefully the lullaby would work and he would stay there. Lullabies always worked on Henry. Speaking of her son, the woman glanced at her watch. Twelve more hours until he was going on a hike with Robin. She remembered the conversation she had with Robin about the trip.
"I still don't see why you need to take him hiking. I'm sure he's gotten better things planned for his weekend with Emma."
"He's a young man, Regina. He needs someone to take him hiking, fishing, and do other manly activities."
Regina didn't consider any of those things very manly, but she let it go. After all, if she and Robin were going to be a real family, she needed Henry's approval. It was obvious he liked the pirate, but it was important to Regina he get along with the thief.
As she bit into her second slice, she stared out the window. The stars were as clear as they used to be in the Enchanted Forest. She had to admit, if the curse had to create a town, it picked a great location.
Robin finished his slice then leaned back on the bed. Regina slid off the bed and stared out at the window. She closed her eyes. Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight. She swallowed. Let me keep this happy ending.
Regina took a deep breath. She felt Robin come up behind her. When she turned around, she nearly collided with his chest. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against him. Robin's hands went to her waist and he began to sway along to inaudible music.
