16th of December:

"Regina?" he called and she hummed but he knew she was falling asleep, naked and sated in his arms. "Regina?" he said again.

"What ?"

He nuzzled her hair and took a deep breath. Because since his talk with Killian a few days ago, he had thought a lot about it and had realized that he had never really told her that she was the only one for him…

So he smiled.

"There is something that I need you to know."

She groaned and he knew she was slightly annoyed.

"And it couldn't wait until tomorrow?"

He combed his fingers through her hair.

"I don't think so. It's rather serious, you know."

She shifted in his arms until she crossed her hands on his chest and their eyes met.

"Tell me, then."

But he wanted to mess with her a little first.

"Well, if you'd rather sleep..."

She slapped his chest softly.

"I am awake, now. Tell me."

He laughed.

"So bossy, my Queen."

She smiled at the nickname he had given her back when they were students.

"I am starting to think you had nothing to tell me, and just wanted to mess with me." she raised an eyebrow and he laughed again, blue eyes twinkling.

"That does look like something I would do..." he chuckled and she bit her lip, figthing back a smile. "But just for once, I do have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

He smiled tenderly and cupped her cheek, she leant into his hand, brown eyes warm and trusting.

"I don't know why I never told you before. I've been feeling that way for so long..."

"Are you going to tell me that you love me?" she raised an eyebrow and it was his turn to bit his lips and stop a smile.

"I know how long you've been expecting it." he teased and she laughed.

"Come on, stop making me wait!"

"Then let me talk!"

She chuckled.

"Fine, I won't interrupt you." he raised an eyebrow and she added. "At least, I'll try to."

He laughed and brought her closer to him, kissed her lips softly.

"I was saying that I don't know why I never told you before, but… You already know that I love you." she nodded, smiling. "I love you so much and I know our wedding was one way to show you that, but… I feel like you need to hear it, especially after all that we've been through lately..." he smiled again, heart beating fast and he felt shy suddenly. "You are it for me, Regina." her eyes widened slightly , "You are the woman I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. My soulmate. The only woman for me. You're it. You're always gonna be it. Forever. I know you already know that, but I wanted you to hear it, too."

When he had finished, her eyes were shining with tears and she tried to open the mouth but no words came out.

"Are you speechless, my love?" he chuckled and she sniffled before getting up slightly and he was about to ask her where she was going when she climbed into his lap and kissed him passionately, he moaned slightly and he kissed her back.

"Oh God, Robin." she nuzzled her nose with his and his hands found her waist. "I … I know you're always gonna be the one for me, too. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I knew it when we met but I understood it when I was so heartbroken away from you and when I came back, you were waiting for me. And Henry called you daddy. This look in your eyes when our eyes met? It told me everything I needed to know."

He smiled, touched.

"I knew it when we met, when our eyes met and I knew I just had to have you." he admitted. "But I understood it when I came home one day after a long day of class and you were home, soothing Henry after he got bullied at school. This feeling in my chest? I still feel it everytime I lay my eyes on you, everytime I see you with Roland, everytime I see you with Henry, everytime we're together..."

A tear rolled down her cheek and he wiped it tenderly.

"I just love you so much more than you could possibly understand…" she whispered fervently and he was about to answer when she leant in and kissed him again.

And he made a mental note to thank Killian later,

Women did like this kind of talk.
