No one loves you more than me chapter 14
When 3 o'clock comes around Robin grabs the house key and goes outside, locking the door behind him. He was going to pick up Henry from the bus stop. The first time he would ever do it, and he was so excited. He gets to the bus stop and as soon as henry sees him he runs to give robin a hug. How could life get any better? Robin thinks to himself. They only way it would be better was if they had Roland there with them, but Robin knew they woukd get him back. He takes henry home and they decide to make dinner so that it will be ready for when Regina gets home.
"So, when will you teach me to shoot?" Henry asks eagerly, there was no better instructor than the infamous Robin Hood, he was so excited to learn. He boils peas and takes out chicken to give to Robin, who lays it on a pan. "Well, we could start tomorrow if you'd like?" Robin felt honored to be asked by his soon to be stepson to teach him how to shoot. They already had such an amazing bond. Robin seasons the chicken and puts it in the oven.
Meanwhile Regina was packing up in her office and getting ready to come home, making sure everything is locked up as usual then heading out to her car and starting it up. She was dreading making dinner, but would be so happy when she finds out she doesnt even have to.
"Can we go after supper? Im positive mom wont mind, pleeaase?" Henry begs, practically on his knees. "Only if your mother allows, then yes I'll take you" Robin grins and ruffles his hair before going to mash the potatoes "think your mom will want some pickles?" He raises his eyebrows then notices the funny look from henry. "Never mind forget I asked that" he laughs and gets them from the fridge and sets them on the table.
Regina finally pulls into the driveway and gets herself organized in the car before coming out and waddling her way up to the house. When she gets inside she immediately kicks her shoes off and sighs with relief. "Honey I'm home! You here?" She calls out and goes by the hallway mirror and fixes herself up and smiles at her ever growing baby bump. "Well baby, lets go find daddy" she smiles and waddles passed the mirror and further inside.
Robin takes the chicken out of the oven just in time and smiles over at henry. "Mom we're in here!" He calls from the kitchen. Robin goes ahead and makes her plate and sets it ag her spot at the table and henry sets down a glass of apple juice for her since he knows thats what shes been craving lately. Regina comes into the kitchen and gasps happily when she sees her boys workimg hard in the kitchen to make supper for her and now making up their own plates. "you made dinner!? Thank you! Do you even know how amazing you are!?" She exclaims and goes and attacks robins face with kisses all over while thanking him profusely. "So I've been told" he chuckles and hugs her. "Welcome home my love" he whispers and places a soft kiss on her lips. Henry runs over to her and nearly tackles regina down with a big hug."welcome home mom!" He says happily.
Regina laughs, he had never really done that before."Well thank you, I missed you guys today. Work felt like forever... and baby's been giving mommy a hard time haven't you." She looks down and pats her belly. She had been feeling sick ever since robin left after visiting her at work. She was just so happy to be home now. "She just missed her daddy and bubby" robin says softly as he rubs her round belly. Henry pulks out her chair at the table for her and robin smiles. "Here, have a seat, and have some supper okay? Youll feel better" he tucks her in when she sits, then sits next to her while henry sits across from them.
"Mmm it looks delicious. Breakfast AND supper? Don't let me getto used to this or I may never make another meal" she chuckles and kisses robins cheek as a thank you and starts eating. She was starving for sure. Henry slides her the pickles and starts eating too along with robin. He was so happy to have her home, it had been a long day without least for an hour he had henry with him. "I wouldn't mind cooking every meal for you my love" he flashes a smile at her.
"Oh but I love cooking for you too, maybe dinner can be a team thing" she chuckles and fishes a pickle out of the jar but yelps and quickly pulls away, dropping it. "ow!" She exclaims, making henry jump. Robin quickly looks at her. "My love? What is it? Are you okay?" He asks concerned and takes the hand that apparently hurt. "I have a paper cut" she pouts, probably from violently flipping through her paper work. Today was not her day, achy back, sore feet, miserable baby, cranky phone calls, she was so glad that tomorrow was saturday. "awe, let me get you a bandaid" he says softly and gets up from the table to go find one. He goes and looks through the medicine cabinet in their bathroom and comes back with one. He sits at the table and take her dainty hand and covers the tiny cut with the bandaid and before giving her hand back, she places a little kiss on her finger and smiles. "There. All better?" he says softly. Regina was just exploding inside now. That was the single sweetest thing she'd ever seen. "yes, thank you" she says softly with rosy cheeks. She couldn't put it into words just how much she loved him, he was complete perfection in her eyes. Once they're all finsihed Robin takes their plates to the sink and washes them. He couldn't wait to have family dinners like this every night, and they would only get better when coraline and roland were with them. Regina goes to the kitchen to at least help with dishes since he cooked, getting all the small ones into the dishwasher and drying and putting away, she was having fun surprisingly enough, just washing dishes with her fiancé. It felt like just real family time. When they're finsihed Robin turns to her and pulls her closer by the hips. "How does a hot bath and a foot rub sound? You've had a hard day, so you deserve it" he murmurs between peppering soft kisses along her cheeks. "No honey, I couldn't ask you to do that, Mm a hot bath, if you join me, is more than enough for me" she smiles. There was nothing she adored more than his cheek kisses, and his whiskers tickling her smooth ivory skin almost always made her giggle.
"Regina... I want to make up for the six months of swollen feet that I missed. I dont want to miss another single thing of your pregnancy whether it be your odd cravings, your swollen and achy feet, your aching back, or your morning sickness. I want to be there for you, and I will be there for you, for everything, because I love you so much." He moves his hand to his cheek and caresses it "... and a bath sounds wonderful" he whispers and smiles wide while his sparkly eyes lock with hers.
She smiles. The first part of what he said broke her heart, but the second part fixed it right up again. She was so grateful that he was so eager to participate in her pregnancy. She thought herself so incredibly lucky to have him, he made her so beyond happy. "I love you too" she whispers and pecks his lips gently a few times. "I'll go start the water" she nods then waddles her way up the stairs to their master bathroom to fill the tub. They had never bathed together like this before, and she couldn't wait. Robin smiles to himself then finsihes off what was left of cleaning the kitchen before making his way up to their bathroom. As he walks in he smiles seeing her running the water and bites his lip while smiling wider. She was just so gorgeous, even when she wasnt trying. He found himself questioning a lot how he ever got so lucky. She tests the water on her wrist then looks over her shoulder when she hears him come in. "hey sweetheart, its almost ready. I'll go get our towels" she smiles and goes down the hall to get her regular fluffy towel, and now one designated for Robin. She comes back and sets the towels on the edge of the big bathtub, complete with jets. After all she was the queen. "This is going to be lovely" robin says with a sigh of content. He wasnt excited about the bath per say, but he was ecstatic about having it with who as far as he was concerned his wife. Regina finishes off the bath with bubbles then slowly slips her dress off and lets it pile in a heap around her ankles. She tests the water one more time then turns it off and removes the last of her clothing then first dips a toe carefully before stepping in and slowly sinking down into the hot water. Robin watches her while peeling off each layer of his own clothing and getting into the tub with her, getting in behind her so she sits between his legs and rests up against his chest. It was only a bath, but it was so much more than that now that he was with her. Everything they did together had meaning now, and he had never been more happy than he is now, soaking in the hot soapy water with his stunning and pregnant fiancé.
