Later that day, the Charmings took Henry home with them so Robin and Regina could have some time to themselves. They were planning a special family day for the boys but tonight, Regina wanted Robin all to herself. The couple entered Regina's house hand in hand and Robin looked around hesitantly, "So…" Robin began a little awkwardly, trying to deal with the elephant in the room. How were they supposed to proceed as if he hadn't been dead for the past three months? It was a little awkward.
"Honey," said Regina bringing her finger to his lips, "Let's just pretend none of this ever happened." She knew what Robin was thinking; they had always been in sync like that, "So what do you say, I cook us a nice dinner and then we can enjoy some alone time," Robin gave a lusty smirk, "Another time for that though."
"Oh," frowned Robin disappointingly.
"I promise we will have time for that," smirked Regina, "I just…I didn't sleep well last night and I don't want to underperform for my handsome thief," she groaned.
Robin shifted a little and she smiled to herself, knowing that he still found her attractive even in her current state, "You will never disappoint me, my beautiful Queen," he whispered in her ear.
Regina looked down at her belly and then into his eyes, "Even in a few more months when I'm all pregnant and huge, bigger than a small house, and my ankles are swollen and my back hurts…?"
Robin brought his finger to her lips this time and said, "Nothing is more beautiful than a mother pregnant with her child. Our child," he said, laying his hands on her abdomen.
Regina embraced him and reveled the feeling of his strong arms around her. Sure they had cuddled when he had been trapped between the Overworld and the Underworld, but it hadn't been quite the same; it was similar to when she was without her heart. She could love but not fully. But now, now that he was with her, really with her, made her feel safe and secure. No matter what evil forces came their way, Robin was with her and that's all that mattered. The pair just swayed back and forth in each other's arms before Regina looked up into his blue eyes and asked, "You mean it? You still think I'm beautiful? Even though my body definitely isn't the way it was before you died."
Robin stroked her cheek with his thumb and said, "You're beautiful and your body is beautiful because it's your body that turns me on, no matter what shape it's in," Robin whispered, "No matter how much it's changed, you are my still my forever, my soulmate, my beautiful Queen."
Regina smiled and laughed through the tears now streaming down her cheeks, "Even if I do cry for no reason now?"
Robin chuckled lightly and wiped away the tears, "Even that." He kissed her softly and said, "I love you Regina."
She leaned into his embrace and said, "I love you too." She smiled and led him upstairs, stopping at the empty room, "So what do you say thief? Now that you're back, how about we start thinking about what to do with this empty room," she smirked jokingly.
"Well," Robin began, pretending to think hard, "I think Storybrooke might have a new resident in about nineteen weeks who was looking to occupy this room," Regina chuckled as Robin looked around the room and finally stopped in front of Regina, "Oh I found her," rubbed her abdomen, "But I'm honestly surprised you haven't gotten your sister and Emma together to use magic to create the nursery."
Regina shrugged her shoulder and laid her hands on Robin's shoulders, "I thought about it, but once we got closer to bringing you back, I decided we should decorate the nursery the old fashioned way. Where you and I spend hours on end arguing over themes for the room and colors for the walls…"
"And you get to boss me around about where all the furniture is placed. Remember I have been through this once before Gina."
"Hey I decorated Henry's nursery all by myself," Regina protested playfully.
Robin smiled and kissed her, "But this time around, you're doing the heavy lifting. So I think it's better if Henry and I do all of the hard work. Don't worry, I don't mind if you boss me around." Regina bit her lip and gave Robin the cute smile he loved so much, "And there's that elusive but satisfying smile I've been waiting to see in person for a long time," he said stroking her cheek.
"So what do you say thief? How about some dinner? And then maybe if I feel up to it, we can have a special dessert," she groaned.
"Mm. That sounds great love. Can I trust you're making lasagnas and apple turnovers?" he grinned.
"You know me too well, don't you?" giggled Regina.
Robin stopped suddenly once he realized that apples had been making Regina sick, "Wait? Can you actually make an apple turnover without getting sick?"
Regina breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Honestly, I think I'm finally past the morning sickness."
Robin smiled but had the feeling part of Regina's morning sickness was worrying about him and the baby. Now that he was back and Belle was awake, he knew there probably wasn't going to be any more worry, hopefully for eternity, though he never knew with Storybrooke.
Shortly after they finished dinner, Robin smiled at Regina and said, "I'm going to head upstairs. I trust you'll be up shortly?"
"Yeah, just let me clean up," she waved her hand over the table, instantly clearing and cleaning the dishes. Robin eyed her and she said, "That and conjuring objects doesn't hurt."
"Alright milady," he said, trusting that she knew what was good and bad for her and the baby. Regina headed for the stairs when Robin let go of her hand, "Actually, I have to check something. I'll be up in a minute." Regina nodded suspiciously but headed upstairs anyways. Robin quickly pulled something out of a small drawer in the kitchen; he was surprised it was still there and that Regina hadn't discover it yet. He smiled to himself and whispered, "Only the best for you my love." He quickly stuck the object back into the drawer and quickly went upstairs, though Regina's bedroom door was closed. He knocked and said, "Gina?"
He opened the door and was awestruck as to what was on the other side. Candles, arrows, roses, and of course, his beautiful Queen, clad in a nightgown that made no attempt to hide her growing breasts and abdomen. He could already feel his pants getting tighter as his erection formed and Regina gave him a seductive grin, glad to know that she still turned him on despite being very pregnant, "Milady," he groaned.
She sauntered over to him and laid her hand on his shoulder, "Well thief, what do you say we have ourselves a little dessert?"
"If you insist Madame Mayor," said Robin as they both fell against the bed while they kissed each other with the most passion for a long time. Since they knew that this was their happy beginning. Forever.
