I decided to write a light chapter before Robin and Regina's wedding. As you can see by the title this chapter is mainly an Outlaw Queen focused one.

Oh, and I also added a quote at the beginning of each chapter, I hope you like!

Happy reading, dear readers (:

I knew I did from that first moment we met. It was… Not love at first sight exactly, but - familiarity. Like: oh, hello, it's you. It's going to be you ― Mhairi McFarlane

Four weeks later

Two years ago Regina never thought that she would be in this situation. She was at her house surrounded by women. Emma had surprised her with a bachelorette party. Regina had insisted that it was not a good idea, since Emma's life was literally at risk already but the Savior totally ignored her advices.

The Queen was also worried that her bachelorette party would also be a total failure. She was not exactly the friendliest person in town so she was not sure that the women of Storybrooke would want to be stuck with her for an entire night. Emma and Mary Margaret were the exception but a party with three people wasn't exactly a party, right?

It turned out that Emma and Mary Margaret weren't the only women who decided to celebrate with Regina her last night as a single woman.

Regina was sat on one of the couches, looking around the living room, trying to make sure that she was indeed awake.

Mary Margaret was talking enthusiastically with Kathryn. It seemed that the two women had forgotten about the Dark Curse and were now good friends.

On the other side of the room she could see Ashley, Ruby and Ariel laughing as they drank what seemed to be a gin martini with orange bitters. Emma and Belle were in the kitchen, making popcorn.

"Are you even listening to me?" – a voice startled her. Regina turned her head and saw Tink frowning – "Do I have to use poppy dust and put you in a cave so I can have your attention, again?"

"Funny" – Regina said, narrowing her eyes, remembering their time in Neverland. A lot had changed since then and she was glad that she had won Tink's friendship again.

"Are you getting cold feet?" – Tink teased, making Regina smile.

"Never" – the Queen said – "I've wasted too much time already, don't you think?" – she added, remembering all the times she had ran away from Robin.

"It only took you two curses for you to finally realize that pixie dust never fails" – Tink said, caressing her friend's hands – "I'm glad you found love again, Regina" – she said kindly.

Regina blinked her eyes, trying to compose herself. Lately she had been feeling a little bit emotionally vulnerable.

Emma and Belle returned to the living room. They were carrying two popcorn buckets.

The women sat on the couch so they could watch a movie. They chose The proposal.

After laughing and crying they decided to share some stories and eat ice cream. Ariel was the best storyteller. She told them about the realms she had been, the people she had met and some curiosities about the ocean. Emma caught herself wishing that she could be a fish so she could see all the things that Ariel talked about.

"I'm thirsty!" – Ruby declared, approaching the table where the bottle of champagne was –"What do you say we make a toast?" – she asked, starting to fill the cups with champagne.

She handed Emma a glass of champagne but the Savior shook her head.

"Right" – Ruby said as Emma pointed at her round stomach – "Orange juice?"

"One of the downsides of pregnancy" – Emma sighed.

Ruby handed Regina a glass of champagne. The Queen hesitated before grabbing the glass. After the toast Emma noticed that, once again, Regina hesitated before drinking the champagne. Regina tried to disguise it but Emma saw the subtle snap of fingers and the way Regina's champagne changed to what it looked like orange juice.

Odd – Emma thought as she watched her friend drank some of her drink.

As Regina drank her orange juice a memory invaded her mind – the day Robin proposed to her.

"I brought your favorite" – Regina said, grabbing a bottle of red wine and showing it to Robin.

"You mean you brought your favorite" – Robin teased, after tasting some of the food in the pan.

Regina approached him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I always forget …" – she said, walking towards the kitchen counter – "Where do we put the opener?" – she asked, starting to open one of the kitchen drawers.

Robin's eyes widened as soon as he saw what Regina was doing.

"No, no, no. Not that drawer" – he said and almost let the wooden spoon fall – "Not that one"

Regina turned her body to him and arched an eyebrow.

"Why?" – she asked suspiciously – "Why can't I open this drawer" – she insisted as Robin approached her.

"Because … I … just …" – Robin tried to find the right words to say but he was already too nervous to give her an explanation – "Just don't open that drawer"

"Robin, what are you hiding from me?" – Regina asked, trying to hide her discomfort.

"Nothing!" – he immediately said – "I just … the opener is not in that drawer"

"How do you know that? You don't even know where we keep the cutlery" – Regina stated as Robin ran a frustrated hand across his face.

The smell of burnt food caught the thief's attention, making him turn his head to the cooker. Regina reached the drawer and opened it. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw the small box. She bit her lip, trying to hide her enthusiasm. She could hear her own heart beating inside her chest, then an idea invaded her mind. She closed the drawer.

"I'm going to open this drawer" – she stated, catching Robin's attention. He was trying to save their dinner but apparently the universe was conspiring against him.

"Regina, don't …" – he tried to say, letting the wooden spoon fall into the pan.

Robin tried to reach her arm but it was too late, Regina was already opening the drawer. He stood in silence with his eyes closed, waiting for Regina's reaction.

"There's nothing in this drawer" – Regina said, making Robin open his eyes.

"What?" – he exclaimed, leaning his body so he could inspect the drawer.

It was empty. The box had disappeared.

He shook his head, trying to understand what was happening. Why wasn't the box in there? He had hidden it in there. How was this possible?

"Yes" – Regina said.

Robin looked at her confused. She was smiling at him. He looked at her hands and saw the small box.

"You should have seen your face" – she murmured in his ear.

"I told you not to open that drawer" – Robin sighed.

"Sorry" – Regina said, trying to stifle a laugh – "Don't look so grumpy. I said yes"

"You didn't let me ask" – Robin pouted.

"Because you don't even have to ask" – Regina said, caressing his cheek.

"You stole the ring" – Robin insisted.

"You can't steal something that's been given to you" – Regina stated. Robin smiled after hearing the same words Regina had told him years ago.

"Technically I didn't give you the ring" – Robin started to say, making Regina arched an eyebrow – "Yet" – he added.

Regina brought her hands up to whack him but he grabbed her hands before they could land on his chest. He brought them up to his face and brushed his lips across her knuckles.

"Marry me" – Robin said.

Regina smiled and looked at her right hand. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw that the small box had disappeared.

"You should have seen your face" – he murmured in her ear, repeating the same exact words Regina had used minutes ago.

He grabbed the small box and took it out of the pocket.

"How did you …" – Regina started to say – "Of course, you're a pickpocket … maybe I should consider this whole marriage thing …"

"I won't allow a change of heart. You already said yes" – Robin said, pulling her closer – "No take backs"

Regina took advantage of his proximity and kissed him. Her hands trailed up his arms and encircled his neck. Robin's arms moved around Regina so he could press her body fully against him. She was pinned between the hard kitchen counter and his body.

Her hands moved from his hair, down his broad shoulders, one moved lower to grab hold of his ass. Robin pulled away from the kiss and looked down into her eyes. He immediately saw a sparkle in her eyes that made his heart beat a little harder against his ribcage.

He managed to open the box and place the ring on Regina's finger.

She looked up at him and smiled. Robin reached down and grabbed her thighs before lifting her up. Regina wrapped her legs around his waist and crashed her lips against his.

With her securely against him, he carried her up the stairs. Robin moved towards their bedroom, opening the door as he pushed her against it.

Their kiss was full of desire and passion. Robin groaned as the kiss deepened.

Regina backed away a bit, disconnecting their lips. Her hands moved to his shirt and tugged it up, then she flung the shirt into the room. Her lips pressed against the newly exposed skin, marking it gently.

Robin moved them away from the door and found his way to the bed.

Hours later, when Robin entered in their bedroom she saw Regina sat on their bed with a huge grin on her face. She was wrapped with the thin, white sheet that left too little for imagination. The Queen couldn't stop looking at her engagement ring. It was a classic halo diamond ring – it was perfect. She remembered Robin's proposal and blushed. It had been so unpredictable. One minute they were in the kitchen cooking and the next …

The sound of footsteps caught her attention and she took her eyes from the ring so she could look at the bedroom door. She immediately saw Robin entering in their bedroom, carrying a tray with two glasses of red wine – her favorite. He was shirtless and the dark sweatpants hung low and loose on his hips.

He approached the bed and sat across from her.

"I've been trying to think of a way to make this day really memorable and I had an idea" – Regina said.

"Another idea? What are you going to steal now?" – Robin teased her.

"Funny" – she said, narrowing her eyes. Robin remained in silence, waiting for her to continue –"What if we don't have sex until we get married?" – Regina finally said with a big smile on her face. Robin's eyes widened – "Do you still love me?" – she added, seeing Robin's reaction.

"You're joking, right?" – Robin said, trying to stifle a laugh. Regina shook her head and bit her lower lip. She wasn't joking.

Robin kept looking at her, waiting for her to change her mind but Regina remained in silence. Not even a day had passed since they had sex and now she wanted to stop? That didn't make any sense. How could they not have sex until they get married?

"Hmm, okay … " – Robin said, after a few seconds of silence – "But does that means that I can't kiss you like this?" – he hoarsely said, leaning his body so he could kiss the side of her neck. He had to make her change her mind.

"No…" – Regina managed to say as Robin found a spot behind her right ear and lingered there until her breath grew ragged.

Regina had to bit her lower lip to stifle a soft gasp as she felt his lips kissing her delicate skin. Robin found the most sensitive spot on her neck and she was incapable of controlling her own body.

"Okay, maybe we can just start on the no-sex thing tomorrow night" – she said, pushing him backwards on the bed.

Regina finished her drink and then looked at the empty glass, thinking how different things would be if they had, indeed, started the no-sex thing.

When the dice game paused for a break, Robin headed straight to the bar. He gave his order to the bartender then turned around and surveyed the room. Will had actually managed to throw a normal party at the Rabbit Hole.

Normally Killian should have been the one responsible for throwing his bachelor party but with all that was happening in his life Robin decided to give him a break and let Will be the one in charge.

He had expected a different party but was glad that Will had opted for a simple party with an open bar.

When he turned to retrieve his drink he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

"Enjoying your party, mate?" – Will asked, hitting playfully Robin's arm.

"Surprisingly yes" – Robin replied as Will stole his drink – "I'm glad you listened to me for once"

"I tried to hire a couple of stripers, also known as exotic dancers, but once I told them the name of your bride they ran away like I was casting some curse" – Will said, before motioning to the bartender for another drink – "Regina's reputation precedes her" – he mumbled.

"Well, she would probably curse you if you had indeed hired those exotic dancers" – Robin stated as he looked over at Killian who was a couple of bar stools away.

Killian was talking with David and Eric. The pirate and the prince were sharing some stories about their sailing trips while David tried to understand the nautical terms that Killian and Eric kept referring to.

The Merry Men were playing darts and the dwarfs were drinking and playing poker.

"As you can see there's nothing in this party too wild that can piss off Regina" – Will said, rolling his eyes – "Besides I couldn't risk her to call off the wedding with less than twenty four hours to go" – he added – "And I'm a man of the law now, so…"

Will continued to talk but Robin was so focused on his phone that after a few minutes he stopped listening to him.

Just because it was bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, it didn't mean that it was bad luck to text the bride before the wedding, right?

"If you don't stop texting I'll be forced to burry your talking phone" – a familiar voice startled him – "And you know that there's no one better than a pirate at burying treasures, so …" – Killian said, extending his hand to his friend. Robin gave him the phone reluctantly and Killian gestured him to approach the table were some of the men were playing a dice game.

"I'm pretty sure that the dice are loaded" – Robin said, looking at Killian – "That's why you keep winning"

"What?" – David exclaimed, startling both Killian and Robin – "You're cheating?" – the prince asked, making the men look at him.

"You're supposed to be at the game table" – Killian said.

"You're cheating" – David said, narrowing his eyes. This time it wasn't a question.

"Well, it's your fault" – Killian said, realizing that there was no point in lying – "You should know better than to play a dice game with a pirate"

"He has a point" – Robin murmured.

"Says the thief" – David protested, crossing his arms over his chest. Before Robin could open his mouth David spoke again – "We're playing cards now" – he said, walking towards the game table.

Killian watched Robin following David, then he looked at the phone on his hand.

"Stop texting your fiancé. He's in a middle of an important cards game. David"

Killian smirked after sending the text. Not even a minute later Robin's phone received a new message.

"Give Robin back the phone and go get the regular dice, KILLIAN" – Regina replied.

Killian shook his head. How did she know it was him and not David who sent the message?

A new message appeared on the phone screen.

"NOW, KILLIAN!"

Killian could practically hear Regina yelling those words at him and decided to follow the Queen's orders.

He approached the game table and put the phone next to Robin. The thief looked at the phone and tried to stifle a laugh. A few minutes later a memory invaded his mind:

She touched her toe to the water, testing the temperature. She lay back in the tub and closed her eyes, picturing in her mind what tomorrow would be like. She stood like this for a few minutes until the sound of someone clearing his throat made her open her eyes. She immediately smiled as her eyes met Robin's.

"What are you up to?" – Regina asked. Her dark hair was tied back neatly, giving him amply view of her face, the curve of her neck.

"Just enjoying the view" – Robin said with a tilt of his head, leaning against the doorframe.

Regina was in the water surrounded by bubbles. She scooped up a bunch of bubbles and blew them into the air, teasing him.

"There room in there for me?" – Robin asked, walking towards the bathtub. He kneeled beside the tub and kissed her.

"I thought you'd never ask" – Regina whispered after their kiss.

Robin entered in the tub still in his clothes, making Regina laugh.

He sat across from her and traced his hand along her leg under water. Regina shifted closer to him. He locked his arms around her back, bringing her even closer to him so she was sitting on his lap.

They were so focused on each other that they didn't even notice the water splashing over the edges.

"I can't believe that the wedding is in less than twenty four hours" – Regina said smiling as she caressed his cheek.

"I can't believe we're going to be apart for almost twenty four hours" – Robin said.

"It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding" – Regina stated.

"You really believe that?" – Robin asked, arching his eyebrow.

"Better safe than sorry" – Regina said, placing a kiss on his lips. Before Robin could deepen the kiss she spoke again – "And you need to change those clothes. Killian and David must be on their way to pick you up so …" – Robin leaned his head and placed kisses along her throat. She could feel his hands rubbing gently on her back – "Just because you convinced me to forget about the no-sex thing, doesn't mean that you can convince me to be late to my own bachelorette party" – Regina said, before stepping out of the tub.

Robin lay back in the tub and watched Regina wrapping herself in a towel.

"I'll meet you at the altar" – he said.

"I'll be the one in white" – Regina said, winking at him.
