A/N: So Robin comes in this one, there's chaos trust me. Also TRIGGER WARNING for mentions of miscarriages, rape, drug use and alcohol use as well as suicidal thinking.
Anyways here it is guys..
Tori sat by the fire and told her two girlfriends everything, when she finished she waited for their response.
"You're sure he didn't take advantage of you? Because that's still pretty messed up Tori." Ally spoke, "I can kill him if you want."
"No, I mean I was joking but can you believe my dad!" she said rolling her eyes
"Well, I guess that's the kingly thing to do but parent wise that's really messed up." Dylan said
"I know." She huffed, "He's coming you know."
"Your dad? Why?" Ally asked
"I don't know John called me, his best friend and loyal servant, he just wanted me to know." Tori said
"You told your mom?" Ally asked
"Yup, she kind of freaked then called Tink."
"Oh, okay. Well there isn't much for you to do but just wait and see what happens. How are you feeling about them meeting and all?" Dylan asked
"I'm excited for them to make it work and all well I can only hope, but I swear if he even makes my mum cry I'm going to flip." Tori said
"I would too, poor Regina." Ally mumbled
"Seriously." Dylan added, half an hour later, James came back with the boys they were all smiling and joking around.
"I take it you had fun?" Tori asked
"Yes, I love these Americans." James said
"Well thanks buddy." Morgan said with a grin
"Yeah, you brits are pretty cool too." Neal added
"It's getting late guys, we gotta head home." Tori said
"Same." Neal said, they all said their goodbyes and headed home.
"So what did you guys do?" Tori asked
"I can't tell." James said, Tori rose her eyebrow
"Why not?"
"Bro code."
"Bro code?" Tori snorted, "Okay."
They got home a little after two in the morning, the mansion was dark and quiet, Tori and James changed into more comfortable clothes, James took the floor and Tori on the bed, he respected her too much to do anything else. Tori sighed, tomorrow was going to be a crazy day, she closed her eyes and let sleep take her.
*NEXT MORNING*
Regina opened the door half expecting Tori, who always forgot her key and refused to stick her hand under the stairs to get the spare because there may be spiders. She wasn't expecting him.
"Tori you-" she paused shocked, there he was standing there like he didn't even age. Perfect jaw structure, dazzling blue eyes and those dimples that still have that effect on her.
"Hi." He said with a soft smile
"Hi." Regina said a bit breathless, "I wasn't expecting you so soon."
"I know." He said, "I really want to talk to you if that's alright." He said, Regina nodded and opened the door wider, she led him to the living room and sat on one side of the couch him on the other. They sat in silence, not knowing what to say.
"Where's Tori?" Robin asked breaking the silence
"She's with her brothers bringing back breakfast." Regina said straitening her posture
"You have more kids?" Robin asked
"Yes." Regina said
"Well I'm sure they are absolute delights." Robin said
"They really are." Regina said looking down at her hands.
"I want to apologize Regina." Robin said scooting closer to her, that was dangerous she thought to herself as a whiff of that forest scent hit her.
"For what?" Regina asked quietly
"Everything Regina, for the way things ended when you left, for keeping Tori away, for leaving again five years ago. That isn't what I wanted to happen, I wanted you back those few years ago." Robin confessed, Regina's breath hitched.
"But then something came up and I had to leave so suddenly, that isn't the man I want to be, I didn't want to just have a quick romp with you then leave, I couldn't bring myself to call you after that in fear that you would think that you were a quick romp and-"
"Still I deserved to know what was going on Robin, how could you even do that?" Regina asked not bothering to pretend to not be hurt, "That type of situation, what did you think was going to be the outcome if you hadn't even bothered to explain? You made me feel worthless, that you came here just for sex and when you got it you left."
"Regina, that isn't-"
"Then explain to me, what the hell you were doing that night? What type of phone call would make you leave me again?" Regina asked
"It was about Victoria." Robin said
"Tori, Robin. You could have told me I would have understood; she is our daughter." Regina said
"You wouldn't have understood the trouble I had to do to keep her from affecting the Locksley name." Robin said, Regina rolled her eyes
"Quit with that Robin, I don't give a damn about damaging your perfect family name, what matters is her. How she feels, maybe you should have asked her for a reasoning behind it instead of sending her to her room." Regina said sternly
"Don't you think I tried?" Robin asked they both were getting quite heated
"Not hard enough obviously, look how damaged she is Robin, I had nothing to do with that because you thought she was better off living that life even though I pleaded but because you were the king and all I didn't get a say." Regina said, "Our daughter is something special but I know she's dealt with some very bad things, I see her reliving it when she sleeps, she tosses and turns, have you noticed that?" Regina asked, Robin didn't answer.
"I don't care about what happens to us but she deserves more, yes, she deserves a father but she sure as hell doesn't need to be in the royal limelight to know that she is gifted and wonderful." Regina said tears falling down her face, "For once just do the right thing, do what's best for you and not your country. I want the truth" Robin felt his own tears fall down his face he cupped his mouth and wiped away the tears and stood up bringing Regina with him, he looked straight into her gorgeous brown eyes.
"You want the truth?" he said to her, "Here it is, the day you left my mother reassured me that you would be back, but you didn't come back. I shouldn't have listened to her but she is still my mother, I did things wrong and I wasn't the person you met in college and I'm sorry for all of it, if I could take it back I would, I was in love with you the moment I met you and I still am, the day you become my wife and our child, our beautiful baby girl. I was the proudest husband and father but life got in the way and I let the power get to my head. I have never stopped loving you Regina Mills never. I know things between us isn't the best but I don't want to live another decade knowing that you are on a different continent living without me, I want you, I want it all. If you'd just-" he was silenced when Regina buried her face into his neck and sobbed, his heart broke right there. He hugged her tightly.
Tori walked in to the house happily with her two brothers in tow as well as Tink. They all laughed about something Roland had done, James had gone to the store to buy something. She walked in hearing a choked sob, her eyes flickered up to Tink.
"Godmum, why don't the boys show you their toys huh?" Tori said, Tink nodded
"Of course, I'd love to see them, come along now, I'll race you both, ready, set, go!" she yelled, the three thundering up the stairs. Tori immediately placed the food in the kitchen then ran to the living room, her father was there, and he messed with her mother.
She saw her mother crying into him, she was confused and her heart broke seeing her cry like that. She went to her father and yanked them apart.
"What?" Robin said stumbling backwards, Regina wiped her eyes she was now behind Tori, she was clearly shocked.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Tori screamed at him
"What? Tori, just let me explain, I didn't make her-"
"No!" Tori yelled, she was fuming with rage, he made her mum cry that was the bottom line, he always hurts people.
"Leave her alone, leave dad. She is the first good thing in my life, I was willing to let you try and get back together, but I walk into the house and hear her sobbing, I've never heard her cry like that, that pain. How fucking dare, you." Tori said
"Tori-"
"What? What could you possible say? How can you not feel for this beautiful woman? How could you make her sob her heart out?" Tori asked
"That isn't what I was doing." Robin said, "Just listen to what I'm saying, let me explain Tori." Robin said
"No, I won't hear it, you've always messed up the good things in my life, you always have."
"What, I've never done that to you intentionally!" Robin said sternly
"Oh really are you sure about that? Think about it before you answer me father." Tori said, "If you can't think of one thing, that's so rich coming from you and I can't believe you, you think you're perfect or something? That you win a fucking best dad of the year award?"
"Tori please." Robin said
"No, father. No. here's the most recent fuck up from you, you send a spy or something to watch me. How could you?" Tori asked
"Tori, I was doing it to protect you." Robin said
"Protect me since when do you care about me? All you care about is your stupid last name and what your mother thinks." Tori said angry tears spilling from her eyes
"Tori." Regina said placing a hand on her shoulder, Tori shrugged it off
"No mum." Tori said
"Tori don't speak ill about your grandmother. Tell the truth Tori." Robin said
"Are you joking right now?" Tori asked
"What?" Robin asked
"Well mum you wanted to know about my past? Here it is." Tori said, "Your fucking mother, dad, your mother, all she cared about was your stupid throne, she did everything in her power to keep you there. Your mother forced me to have sex with one of the people who made you king, she let a man triple my age rape me, I was only thirteen." Tori sobbed, "You wonder why I go out and get so intoxicated and drugged up? I do it because I want to forget all those nights, she made me keep quite because she knew I loved you so much and that you wouldn't love me back if you weren't on the throne she said you'd send me to my mother and I was so scared and the day you did, I'm so glad because my mother is amazing and wonderful, she is everything I needed, she helped me through my dark times in my head she was everything I wanted you to be, she cared about me and loved me for who I was."
But I wasn't enough for you, she told me that, my grandmother told me I was worthless all I could do was bare a child for our family name but I didn't want to, she forced me, and I had several miscarriages and I'm barely an adult. After that I couldn't deal with myself and kept sleeping around trying to feel something, the moment I do I find out that he works for you, do you know how traumatizing this is? I would never wish this life upon anyone, I haven't told anyone about this, no one." Tori said "I wished my life away countless times but whatever god there is didn't want me, I'm alive and breathing, I don't know why but I am."
"There's your truth." Tori said
