Thanks so much for all the great reviews, I appreciate you all for taking the time to leave them.
"Please answer me, Regina. Are you pregnant with my child?" Robin asked as he turned her around to face him. He wanted to see the truth in her eyes.
"Yes, yes I am Robin," Regina said as her eyes started to water slightly. Damn hormones, she thought.
"How long have you known about our child? Why didn't you tell me?" Robin asked.
"Only a few days, I was just coming to grips with it myself," Regina answered quietly.
"Why didn't you tell me as soon as you found out?" Robin asked. A little part of him was bothered that she had kept something so big from him.
"I didn't want you to think I had planned this," Regina said. "How did you find out about it anyway?"
"These," Robin said, rattling vitamin bottle. "And I know you didn't plan this Regina."
"You went through my purse?" Regina asked a little shocked he had done so.
"Not me, but who did doesn't matter, what matters is this baby," Robin said as he placed one hand on her stomach. "So, this is why you have not been feeling well?"
"Yes, evidently I'm destined to suffer morning sickness, evening sickness and all day sickness it seems," Regina grumbled.
"Feeling pretty bad I take it?" Robin said. Regina nodded.
"It seems our child likes to play tricks on me as well," Regina said. When she saw Robin's confused look, she explained further. "A few days ago when we saw each other near my house, our daughter froze my feet to the sidewalk until I talked to you."
"It really did that? I knew for some reason you were acting different that day," Robin said with a smile on his face. "Wait a minute, it's a girl?" Robin asked as he rubbed her stomach slightly.
"It's way too soon to tell, but it's just a feeling I have," Regina said with a smile on her face.
"And the day John brought you into Gold's pawn shop? You were sick then as well, I assume," Robin said not as a question but a statement.
"Yes, that was the day I found out about the baby," Regina agreed. "Gold could sense the baby's powers."
"She has powers already?" Robin asked. "Can't you control them?"
"No, as it is I have no control over them. Evidently she is quite powerful already, but I assure its only light magic," Regina said. "The baby has only used it to protect me or when she wanted me to talk to you."
"Protect you from what?" Robin asked worriedly.
"For some reason she doesn't like Rumpelstilskin or ," Regina answered with a small smile on her face.
"I don't blame her on that, but how does it protect you?"
"She is able to send a blast of light magic to ward them away from me."
"Then remind me when she is older to thank her," Robin said with a smile on his face, glad that their child is able to protect Regina, especially if he wasn't around to help.
"So, now what?" Regina said after a few moments of silence passed between them.
"Now we have to discuss everything between us," Robin said. He took her hand and sat them down on her bed.
"This sounds promising," Regina said with a small smirk on her face.
"First of all, I want you to know how happy I am about our baby. It was made from our trust of one another and most important it was made from our love," Robin said with his heart in his eyes. "Regina, I love you. You, Roland and now this baby mean the world to me. There is nothing I wouldn't do for any of you." He could see her emotions in her eyes and knew there was something else she needed to know.
"You need to know that Marian and I are no longer married. I went to Dr. Hopper and filled for a divorce. Archie helped finalize the paperwork." Robin answered the question she couldn't ask.
"I didn't want you to do that for me," Regina said, thinking of how she, once again, had broken up a family.
"Regina, I didn't do that for you. I did this for me. I'm no longer the man that was when I was married to Marian. We are not the same people anymore. A part of me will always love her. Just as a part of you will always love Daniel," Robin said as he saw the flicker of pain flash through her eyes. He didn't wish to bring her pain, but he had to explain. "You must know that my heart belongs to you and nothing will ever change that. Now, tell me how you feel about me."
"After Daniel died I never thought I would find someone to love, or that someone who could love me. So, I gave up on love for the longest time, my anger is the only thing I had left," Regina admitted. "Then one day I was looking for a witch, only to have a man shoot an arrow at me, and that man changed everything I had ever thought about love. I love you too Robin, body, soul and heart."
Robin leaned over quickly and kissed her lips deeply upon hearing all her words. This was what he had wanted since this nightmare had begun that night at the diner. For the woman he loved with his whole being to open her heart back up to him.
Regina responded to the kiss happily, putting everything she had into it. It had taken so much for her to open herself up to him again, to open herself up to a chance at love again, but now that she had, she was diving in head first. Regina's arms wrapped around his back and pulled him closer to her, his arms were already encircled around her.
Robin lips were consuming hers. He opened his mouth to seek hers. He licked at her tender lower lip with his tongue to seek entrance. She responded immediately and opened her mouth to him, their kiss deepening further.
Robin pulled back slightly knowing they had to stop before things got too out of control. Both of their kids were downstairs, so they might walk in on them at any second. Robin took her face in his hands and rubbed his forehead against her, letting their noses rub slightly against each other.
"I love you Regina, never doubt that," Robin said as looked at her face, at her eyes in particular. He knew he would always get lost in them, the way her long black eyelashes encircled her eyes.
"And I love you." Regina said with a small laugh. It felt right to finally allow herself to be happy and let the anger that she had held onto for so long go.
"I want to love you for the rest of my life Regina. Will you marry me?" Robin asked as Regina's eyes open wide.
"Did you just ask me to marry you?" Regina asked completely stunned by his words.
"I have lost too much time with you already. Since you came into my life, my world makes sense again. I know why people wake up in the morning and can get through the ordeals that life throws at them," Robin said by way of explanation for his proposal. "Until you came into my life, I had given up on finding someone to spend my days with."
"Robin, you don't have to do this. We can work something out with custody," Regina said.
"I didn't ask you to be my wife because of our child. I want to go to bed at night as your husband and wake up next to you as my wife," Robin said. A few moments of silence passed between them.
"Yes," Regina finally whispered out the word.
"What do you mean yes?" Robin asked as he looked at her, hope in his heart.
"Yes, I will marry you," Regina explained, returning the intense eye contact.
"Say that one more time," Robin commanded, but as Regina started to say those words again, he stopped her with a kiss. They had spent too much time apart and alone without the other one, the other part of their soul. Neither was going to go back into that lonely state of not having their other half anymore.
