Hi my dear friends,
I am so, so sorry about the delay... But let me be honnest with all of you.
I couldn't write, I lost my inspiration and words were stuck, ideas were stuck and I didn't seem to be able to write something that deserved to be published! I am sorry, but it seems that I really realized that they really did kill Robin ( I had this stupid hope maybe they would bring him back) and I still have trouble getting over this... But I did. Because if I stop writing because of them, then these stupid writers win and that my friends, is OUT OF QUESTION. They've already taken so much from us, they won't take us that. I won't let them! So I took a little time out of writing in order to be able to really think about where I wanted to go with my stories, and now I am back, better than ever and with thousands of ideas ! I wrote a new chapter for almost all of my stories and I have new ideas for future stories... I am full of ideas and I just hope that you're still here with me to share them ! Because OQ will always live as long as we are here!
I love you all, I hope you will like this chapter and I hope you're still there!
Love you xx
Previously in That Day We Met
"Regina?" called a voice outside her tent and she smiled when she recognized the voice.
Robin.
She got up from her bed and walked to the opening of her tent, finding Robin waiting for her. Blue eyes softened when he saw her and a smile lit up his face. God, she had missed him.
Tinkerbell's words rang out in her head,
"Regina, nobody ever managed to break a love curse, not without a kiss of true love. What he did... I can't even explain it !But if you ever doubt his love, think about the fact that only the truest love of all could have broken it"
"M'lady." he breathed, taking her hand in his and kissing her palm.
She bowed slightly, smiling a smile so bright it could lit up the whole forest.
"Robin."
This would surely be one night they would never forget.
Chapter 21:
They were walking in the forest, and Regina had not felt that good in weeks. She was walking by Robin's side, and his hand was brushing hers with each step they took. She felt safe, she felt loved. Finally, Robin stopped and her eyes widened when she realized where they were.
He had set up a romantic dinner.
There was a table set for two, there was candles and flowers and...
"Do you like it?" he asked shyly suddenly and she looked up at him, eyes wide and mouth gasping.
"Are you kidding me?" she breathed, "This is perfect." Robin's eyes softened and then he smiled, proudly. "Is it what you've been doing all afternoon?"
He smiled again.
"Perhaps." then the archer winked. "But I wouldn't want to give away all of my secrets now, would I?"
She chuckled and he was about to move forward the table, but she caught his hand and saw him jump at the contact.
"Thank you, Robin."
Blue eyes locked onto brown.
"For you, anything." he whispered reverently.
From his castle, the Dark One was watching Robin and Regina from one of his mirrors, eyes shining with anger and disgust.
"Enjoy your moment of hapiness, dearies. I am not done with you just yet..."
And then he waved the hand and another scene appeared, one with a blue-eyed woman who was laughing with a young man by the fire.
"Belle..." whispered the imp, frowning slightly.
Robin was looking at Regina and how was it that she was even more beautiful with each passing day? She smiled at him and Robin could have sworn his heart stopped in his chest.
"Are you alright?" she asked, frowning slightly and he nodded,
"I'm perfectly fine as long as I got you."
She blushed, looking down slightly.
"Robin..."
"Regina." he cut her because he felt like he needed her to hear one more time how sorry he was. "I-"
"I know." she cut him softly, blue eyes meeting brown and he gasped at the tenderness in hers.
"But I need you to hear it again." he took her hand and she jumped slightly at the contact, but let him do it. "Regina, I am so sorry for the pain I put you through. I don't know if you'll ever be able to fully forgive me-"
"I will." she cut him softly and once again, he froze.
"You mean that?" he breathed and she nodded, eyes shining with tears.
"I'm already starting to." she admitted and he chuckled happily, bringing her hand to his lips and kissing her knuckles reverently. That was the only physical contact he was allowed in weeks, and he intended to make it last as long as possible.
"I only want things to get back to where they were."
"In time, they will."
They both smiled.
Because they both knew it...
They would be alright.
Belle and Will were sat together by the fire.
"How is he like?" finally asked the young man and Belle frowned slightly.
"Who?"
"The Dark One."
Belle froze.
She couldn't.
Not now.
Probably not ever.
"He is.." her voice broke. A small silence settled and then she sighed in defeat. "I am tired, goodnight Will."
She got up but Will caught her arm and she jumped at the contact, when she looked up he was looking at her intensely.
"I missed you, you know?"
Her eyes softened at that and she smiled.
"I've missed you too, Will. More than I can say."
"Do you think we'll ever hear of Marian again?" asked Regina and she saw Robin tensed and his jaw closed.
"I don't know. For her own good though, she'd better stay away from us." Regina nodded, lost in thoughts. "What are you thinking about, lovely?"
"I would like to ask her why she did this." Robin swallowed. "Why she tried to break us apart."
"Regina..." he cut her. "She was sick and jealous."
"But that doesn't make any sense." she shook her head, frowning slightly. "If she really loved you, she would have let you be happy.." her voice broke and then she looked down. "I was ready to do just that."
"Regina-"
"When you came back from the forest the other day, I had my things packed." Robin's eyes widened. "I was ready to leave if your choice was her. I was ready to leave and let you be happy with the woman you..." a tear escaped her eyes and Robin got up, kneeling in front of her and waiting for her to look at him, when she did, blue eyes were shining with love and devotion.
"Regina, there is only one woman that I love and this is you. You are the only woman I gave my heart to, and even a lovespell couldn't break us apart. That's how strong we are, my love." she nodded, chuckling with tears and damn those stupid hormones!
Oh God.
The pregnancy.
Robin still knew nothing about it.
Would he be upset?
Would he hate her from having kept such a secret from him?
Well, it was his fault so...
Oh God.
The young archer was looking at her like she was everything for him and she felt herself melt.
This was the right moment.
She had to tell him.
"Robin, I-"
"May I kiss you?" he asked out of the blue and her eyes widened.
"What?" she murmured and now he got up, bringing her with him and she felt herself shake slightly in his embrace, but his blue eyes were darkened by love and lust and she was so weak...
"I'm dying to kiss you, Regina. I've been deprived of it for too long.." she opened the mouth but he cut her, "Now, don't get me wrong because I know this is all my fault, but I just need to be with you right now. That's all I ask." he cupped her cheek tenderly and added softly, "I know that this won't mean that everything is forgotten, I know we still have a long road ahead of us... I just want this moment to be about us."
She swallowed and he leant in slowly, kissing his way to her ear and she shivered pleasantly.
"Now the question is..." another kiss to the shell of her ear and she had to bit her lip not to moan outloud. "Do you want me to kiss you?"
She didn't know if it was the right decision.
Her plan had been to take things slowly.
But...
She knew what she wanted.
Her hands got lost on his chest and she took a deep breath before receding slowly and blue eyes locked onto brown in a heated embrace.
"Kiss me, Robin."
He growled lowly and then his mouth crushed on hers. Regina gasped and he swallowed her gasp, before deepening the kiss and her hands were grabbing his clothes, bringing him even closer to her... His were buried in her hair, angling her head just so in order to kiss her even more. They were breathless when they receded, and Robin nuzzled her nose.
"I needed that."
She chuckled and closed her eyes, leaning on him and feeling surrounded by this strong and masculing scent of his.
"Me too." she admitted and felt his heart beat faster under her hands. "I want things to work out between us, Robin." she admitted and heard him gasp.
"You really do, don't you?"
She receded a little so that their eyes met and she saw so much wonder in these blue eyes of his.
She needed to tell him.
They couldn't start this new relationship without him knowing about their baby.
God.
God.
Oh God...
So Regina took a deep breath and receded, trying to compose herself. She saw Robin's eyes widened at this sudden change of behaviour, he tried tor each for her but she flinched. She wouldn't be able to do it if he touched her.
"Regina?" he asked and now, he looked worried.
Great.
Well done, Regina.
"Robin, I really need to talk to you." she took a deep breath, brown eyes deep and sorry. "I think you need to sit down because you may change your mind about me after hearing this. But, if we want things to really get better between us, there can be no more lies."
He swallowed.
Robin couldn't breathe properly.
Everything had been so perfect... Her change of heart could only mean one thing.
There had been someone else.
At one moment during what happened between them, Regina had found comfort in somebody else.
It hurt so badly.
His heart was slowly crashing down.
Thinking about Regina ( his Regina) in the arms of another man; kissing him, making love to him, finding comfort in him ( and that was surely what hurt the most)...
But...
It was his own fault.
He had forced her to do so.
He couldn't be jealous.
He couldn't be angry.
He could only-
"Robin, are you even listening to me anymore?" she asked, frowning slightly and he jumped slightly.
Then took a deep breath.
"I understand." he finally breathed and it was taking all of his courage to say so. Her eyes widened but she didn't talk. "And I am not mad at you, Regina."
"What the hell are you talking about?" she asked, face pale suddenly.
"I know what you're gonna say."
"Do you?"
She was worried.
Could have he seen the signs? Will did.
Oh God...
He had guessed, hadn't he?
Robin swallowed and she was surprised to see his eyes looked pained yet resolute.
"I know that this is my fault."
Her eyes widened.
"Robin..."
"I know you were heartbroken because of me."
Now, there had to be a misunderstanding.
She frowned again.
"I don't understand."
He took a deep breath.
"If you're about to tell me that you've seeked comfort in someone else these past few weeks, know that I don't think less of you. All of this is on me. Not you."
Her heart stopped.
How could he.
How could he thinkg something like that!
How could he...
"Regina?" he asked, worried about her silence.
She only chuckled darkly.
"You are such a jerk, Robin of Locksley."
His eyes widened in shock.
"What-"
"How do you dare say something like that after everything you put me through?" he closed his mouth and only seemed to realize what he had said. "I've waited for you. I've cried for you. And when do you think I would have found the time to cheat on you?"
"That's not what I said-"
"How dare you?!" she exclaimed, tears shining in her eyes.
Another silence and Robin hated himself.
How was it that he was only good at hurting her?
Regina shook her head and muttered something about this being a waste of time and her getting back to the camp, but Robin knew well enough that if she left now, it would be for good.
And he couldn't let that happen.
He had already messed up this relationship enough.
"Regina, wait." he breathed, taking her arm and she tensed but didn't try to escape his hold. "I am sorry." she scoffed and he cursed himself. "I know, I do everything wrong lately between us... But I want you to keep in mind that I am only afraid that I've messed this up for good. You are the best thing that ever happened to me, and now it feels like I don't even know how to make sure you won't ever leave me..." she turned and her eyes were glassy again, but he had to tell her how he felt. "I love you." he whispered. "That never changed. And it never will."
Regina looked down a few seconds, then looked up.
Robin had opened his heart to her.
It was her turn now.
She needed to do this.
She had no choice.
Not anymore.
Blue eyes met brown and then she opened the mouth...
Now or never.
"I am pregnant, Robin."
A/N : So? ;) I promised you fluff, here it went ! haha Also, how do you think Robin will react to Regina finally telling him she's pregnant?
See you all very soon, dearies...
