Hey Guys. This chapter is most certainly M rated, so prepare for smut.

"Hey Henry, I need to talk to you." Snow stated as Henry opened the door and led them into the living room, Roland clung to Henry's leg.

"Grandma what's going on?" he looked past her "Where's my mom?"

Snow exchanged a glance with her husband.

"What's going on, where are they?" he looked at her wide eyed.

"Henry, where is Gina and Daddy?" Roland asked, staring up at him with a terrified look on his face. "Snow, where's my mommy?" He questioned with tears in his eyes.

"Roland, um. Henry you might want to sit down." He complied.

"Grandpa?" He looked towards David.

"Your mom, she, um she absorbed the darkness."

"I don't understand." He shook his head. "What are you saying?"

"Regina, she knew that the darkness was loose, and she decided the only way to get rid of it and protect everyone was to become the Dark One."

"Are you kidding me?" Henry asked, standing up. "You let my mom become the Dark One! How could you do that! You know how hard she worked to escape from the darkness before and now you let her absorb the darkest magic there is! What were you thinking?"

Roland looked up at his brother "Where are they?" he asked "Henry where is mom?"

"That's a good question Ro, where is mom?" He turned back to look at his grandmother. "And Robin."

"When the darkness took her over, she disappeared."

"Disappeared where?" he narrowed his eyes.

"Then Enchanted Forest."

"Oh well that's just great, so my mom's in another realm."

"Robin and Emma have gone with the others to rescue her; they think they know a way to get rid of the darkness."

"So both my moms are in another world as well as the guy who is practically a father to me."

"They think that true love's kiss might break the curse, Regina thought that it was worth a shot." Snow shrugged her shoulders.

"Mom did? Right okay, we need to come up with a plan, what if they can't get back, what if they are stuck in the Enchanted Forest forever?"

"They have the wand, both your mom and Zelena have the power to open the portal."

"Zelena went with them?"

"She was rather adamant that she was going to save her sister."

Regina had told Henry about the memory that had come back to her and about how Zelena had changed, but that didn't mean that he felt they should trust her yet, he was still rather wary around her. He really hoped that his mom was right, and that true love would fight away the darkness, they had seen the power that true love's kiss held before and he knew that his mother was capable of possessing such magic, she had demonstrated it when she had broken the second curse. He just hoped that she would be strong enough to fight the darkness, after all though she was a fighter, it was in her blood, she wasn't going to give into something like that so easily, not when so much was at stake if she did.

Regina was sat outside on the balcony; she was practically hugging onto the door, as far away from the edge as she could possibly get, but she had desperately needed the fresh air, some time to think. The cool breeze whipped around her and the shadows of night had settled in, she looked up at the stars and sighed. Then she spotted the archer and shook her head, why did that have to be the one constellation she could always find, no matter what, seemingly she had a thing for a man with a bow and arrow. Laughing at that thought, she remembered Robin's reaction when she had given him his new bow, she had endowed it with the same magic as his old one, so that he would never miss his targets, she wondered if he really needed the magic anyway though, she couldn't believe that he did. However, she had seen him play darts and when it came to the small arrow like things and hitting a target that wasn't moving she had to admit, he was quit shit; although she may have been partially responsible for distracting him, especially the one time she brushed past him and whispered something in his ear, the dart had nearly hit granny who was walking through the door balancing a tray of soup.

Suddenly her day dream was broken, when she heard the little girl scream, she shot up and rushed back inside "Giselle, I told you they can't…" She wasn't prepared for what she was met with and when she saw him stopped dead in her tracks, she reached out to hold on to the wall for support, before she could stop it she felt herself falling to the floor and blacked out.

"Regina" A hand waved in front of her face and she saw coloured spots; slowly her eyes began to flicker open, she needed to clarify her location, as far as she could tell she was still laid on the bed in her bedroom, had it all been a dream? Had she imagined him being there, had she fallen asleep, despite Rumple telling her that it wasn't possible? "Regina." She focused on the figure hovering above her, the source of the voice. "Regina." He called again moving her hair behind her ear.

"Robin?" She asked weakly.

"Hey." He chuckled.

"You came; you are here? Are you really?"

"Yes, I'm here." He lightly caressed her cheek, grinning down at her.

Tears began to pour from her eyes running down her cheeks, tears of relief as she pulled him down onto the bed with her, hugging him tight.

"I've got you, you're okay, it's alright." He began rocking her gently as he held her tightly.

"You're Regina's prince Charming?" the little girl asked, she was now in a chair across the room, sat awkwardly.

Regina sniffed "Yes." She nodded swiping the tears from her eyes and flashing him a bright smile. "Yes he is."

"Hi, sorry for scaring you." He stated sitting up on the bed, Regina still clinging to him.

"Oh that's alright." Giselle nodded, shuffling somewhat.

"Regina are you feeling okay?" He asked.

She shook her head "No, I'm not. To be honest, I think I need to go and throw up."

"Throw up?"

"Yes, one minute." She stood and rushed into a room just off the main one.

Robin heard retching and followed her in "Regina."

"Robin don't look at me." She stated from her place knelt on the floor, before throwing up again.

"Hey." He moved beside her and collected her hair, holding it up. Then he began to rub comforting circles on her back.

Her throat was burning and she was beyond embarrassed that he was witnessing her empty her stomach in the bathroom. But then she was thrilled that he was there with her, holding her hair. It was only a small gesture, but to her it meant everything, he was the only person that could make her feel happy to be throwing up. Not that she was, she was just happy that he was there and that he was caring for her. "Thanks." She sighed, leaning back to rest on her feet and he past her something so she could clean herself up a little. "So this isn't embarrassing." she huffed, closing her eyes, wiping her mouth.

"Do you feel better now?" He asked, his hand still on the small of her back.

"Marginally." She nodded.

"What's going on?" He asked squeezing her lightly.

She shook her head "I don't know, but whatever it is Rumple said that I'd find out soon enough." She laid her head on his shoulder.

"Rumple?"

"He's the nasty spirit that Regina can see." Giselle stated from her position by the door.

"You've been seeing Rumple?" He asked looking down at her, she might be the dark one, but at that moment she looked more fragile than she ever had.

"Yes, he keeps trying to make me use the powers." She stated "but I haven't Robin, I swear I haven't used them."

"Well the real Rumpelstiltskin said that you wouldn't realise that your own powers are connected to the darkness."

"What? No, I used my light powers, my light magic can't be connected to the darkness, can it?"

"It's been corrupted."

"But it's light magic Robin, don't you think I'd notice if it had been corrupted. It would undoubtedly change colour for one."

"Didn't it?"

"No, I'm sure it didn't."

"Oh he came how sweet." Rumple chuckled appearing in the corner of the room.

"I thought you'd gone." She huffed looking directly past Robin.

"No dearie, afraid not."

"Regina?" Robin asked.

"You will disappear Rumple, all it takes is true love's kiss."

"Is he there?"

"Yes." She nodded "Robin please help me get rid of him."

He leaned in to kiss her before she put her hand against his mouth. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Do you have any gum?" She asked.

"Really? You want gum?"

"Yes, well I've just been throwing my guts up, so I'm guessing you don't really want to have to kiss me."

"Oh." He chuckled, reaching in his pocket. "It seems you're in luck milady." He passed her a pack.

"Oh good, and I don't really want to do it in the bathroom either." She placed a piece of gum in her mouth before he helped her up off the floor.

"I see the darkness hasn't stolen your dignity."

"Oh never." She laughed, shaking her head, as they wandered back into her room. "Giselle dear, could you give us a moment please?"

"Yes of course."

"You can go see if you can find some other adults, they'll be in the castle somewhere." Robin instructed.

She nodded "okay." Leaving the room.

Regina lay back on her bed, grinning at him she stated playfully "the King would have your head if he found you in the queen's quarters."

"Well, it's a good job the Kings dead them isn't it." He quipped. "Because I don't think he'd like to know what I've been doing to that queen."

"Oh I think the King would turn in his grave of he if he knew what dirty and uncivilised things his queen gets up to with a certain thief."

"I don't know what you speak of milady." He sniggered as he lay down next to her.

"I'm sure you don't." She cast him a sultry look. "But maybe we could try some of them out in this very room." She bit her bottom lip.

"I would love that, but right now, I think I'd prefer to rid the woman I love of the darkness."

"If we do get rid of the darkness, do I have your word that you will make love to me right here, in this bed?" She asked. "Immediately after?"

"Unquestionably." He nodded, smiling at her.

"Well then, I can't wait for this thing to be gone." She sat up somewhat, leaning against the head rest.

"So I just kiss you?"

"That's generally how it goes yeah." She swallowed.

"Nervous?" He asked.

"Just a tad, what if this doesn't work? What then?"

"It will work; did you see the inscription?"

"On my ring? Yes, I just hope you're right."

"I'm pretty much certain of it."

"Okay then, let's get rid of this thing."

She closed her eyes in anticipation, this had to work, it was the only option they had, the one other way she knew to get rid of the darkness, was to be stabbed with the dagger and that wasn't happening. She didn't know what they would do if this didn't work.

His palms were sweating, he was extremely worried that kissing her wouldn't be enough, what if it wasn't, what if they had to find some over way for her to get rid of the darkness. The day had started out as the best of his life, waking up with her in his arms, his ring on her finger. But it has quickly turned into the worst, when he came faced with the reality that he might lose her, something that wasn't even an option in his eyes. If he lost her, light would disappear from his world, it would become a darker place without her, without her strength, her sarcasm and her love. He didn't know how he would exist without her anymore, was it even possible?

He lovingly ran his fingers through her hair, before entangling both his hands within it. Slowly he moved closer towards her lips, which were slightly parted, grinning he licked her bottom lip, causing her to shudder. Then he pressed his lips to hers in a passionately, love confirming kiss. A shock ran through them, jolted them and a green light lapsed across the entire Enchanted Forest. They pulled back and Regina looked at him wide eyed "Did you feel that?"

"Yeah."

She closed her eyes and all of a sudden the darkness was swirling from her, as though it couldn't escape fast enough, bouncing off the walls. Then the images off all the previous dark ones flashed in front of them, Nimue, Zoso, Rumple and all the rest of them, they seemed to crumble to dust as screams sounded out through the whole castle. Robin immediately reached out and grabbed her, pulling her close to him. They watched as the black smoke turned to a deep red colour as it swarmed around the room, like an out of control fire. Whipping past them in a whirlwind, before coming to a stop and exploding, leaving the two of them staring in amazement. "It's gone" she gasped a smile creeping onto her face "It's gone; Robin we did it! We did it!" She flung herself at him.

"You chose me over power." He grinned.

"Did you ever doubt I would?" She asked. "Robin, you are everything to me, you are my everything, I love you so, so much." She kissed his face, every inch of skin she could attach her lips to. "I am never, ever letting you go." She placed a kiss on the tip of his nose. "Ever!" Her thumb caressed his cheek.

"Good, because I'm never going anywhere ever." He kissed her lips again, a warm feeling shooting through them, igniting the usual flame.

"Oh I think you may have promised me something." She stated, biting her bottom lip.

"What was that?" He asked knowingly.

"How long are you going to make me lay here in this dress?" She asked.

"Well, I am rather fond of the way that dress looks on you milady."

"Wouldn't you prefer the way it looks on the floor?"

"Now that you mention it." He chuckled. His hand moving up the inside, running along her leg, thrilled to find that she was in fact wearing nothing underneath that dress. Moving the dress further up, he lowered his head down to kiss her inner thigh, before moving up higher, nibbling her slightly, causing her to let out moans that were music to his ears. He licked and kissed making his way towards her clit, causing her to move somewhat further down the bed. His hands then moved to the hem of the dress and was just about to pull it up over her shoulders when they heard a knock on the door.

Regina groaned "Nooo."

"Oh, I almost forgot that they'd come with me." He stated his breath ghosting over her sex.

"Who's they?" she asked shuddering.

"Em and Killian, my brother and your sister."

"Oh."

"Robin, Regina!"

"Zelena?" Regina moved the dress a little, conscious that her sister was outside the door.

"Regina." Without any warning the door flung open and Robin almost flew out from between her legs, as she grabbed the duvet and covered herself. "Holy crap, I am so sorry." Zelena's hand went to cover her eyes. "Wow, well I'm guessing that jolt we all felt was the curse breaking?"

"Yes, well." Regina was blushing madly.

"Well then, I suppose I'll let the two of you finish, doing that. I'll tell the others that we'll head home in a couple of hours."

"Okay thank you, but Zelena, not a word."

"Oh I wouldn't dream of it, enjoy." She smiled, leaving the room and closing the door tightly behind her.

"Were we just caught by my sister?" Regina asked as a smile crept onto Robin's face.

"Yes, you'd think we'd have learnt to lock a door by now."

"Yes, you would wouldn't you." She chuckled.

"Now where was I before we were so rudely interrupted?" he asked.

She rose her eyebrows and flicked her wrist at the door, her normal magic working to seal it. Pushing the quilt back down she pulled him towards her. "I think you were about here."

"Oh yes, I think you are right." He circled her clit with his tongue, her hands fell in his hair. Slowly he edged his way towards her core, his stubble brushing against her causing her eyes to flicker shut as he focused his attention on her. The he entered her with his tongue, causing her to yell in pleasure, one hand slipped up inside the dress to massage her breasts, the other moving to stimulate her clit.

"Oh god." She cried as he worked his magic on her, transporting her to a world of pure bliss. She was about to tell him to move a little to the right when he did exactly that, knowing what she needed. "Robin." She gasped. He was the only man she had ever done this with, he was the only person that she had trusted enough and the first time she had been extremely sceptical. As far as she had been concerned sex was sex, but Robin had taught her that there was so much more to it than that, shown her just how much he loved her, and he did, in a way that nobody had before, he put her needs before his own, put her physical pleasure before his own.

A slight tear rolled down her cheek, one that she was quick to wipe away. She had done it, she had resisted the darkness, their love had managed to defeated the most powerful magic in all the lands! Then all thoughts off that disappeared as his hand circling her clit changed direction. "Robin!" She yelled.

He didn't stop in his actions, just adjusted his eyes so he could see her, god she was beautiful, he always felt so smug when he could get her like this, bring her to her peak this way, something about it seemed more intimate, as though she were surrendering herself to him completely, allowing him to love her. Then he increased the pace and she jerked underneath him at the bolts of pleasure he was sending through her. "Yes Robin!" her eyes flickered shut as she pushed her hips up to meet his tongue. He was quickly pushing her to the brink of insanity, knowing that she was about to reach her peak. When she began to quiver underneath him, he switched, moving his mouth to her clit and slipping two fingers inside of her.

Oh how he adored seeing her this way, it didn't take much more until she was toppling over the edge, shouting his name as she orgasmed, her hips falling back onto the mattress below them.

She lay spent and panting, coming down from her high, he smiled at her, licking her clit one more time before moving to lay next her. "Did you enjoy that lovely?"

She nodded, her eyes still closed "how do you do it?"

"Do what?" He asked, wrapping his arm around her.

"Make me cum like that?" She asked breathing heavily.

"It's a skill milady." He chuckled.

She opened her eyes and took in his smug face "Oh it most certainly is, one that I must say you have perfected quite well."

"Well I aim to please."

"Well that's good to know, because I rather enjoy being pleased."

"I can tell. One could say your majesty is in the mood to be loud today." He laughed referring to her yelling.

"Careful thief, we all know who's the real screamer in this relationship." She joked "And I should hope he wouldn't be foolish enough to test the queen when it comes to her expressing her appreciation of his tongue."

He chuckled and kissed her bare stomach. Slowly he reached for the inched up dress and pulled it over her head, before tossing it on the floor. "There we go your majesty." He stated kissing his way up her body until his lips were hovering above hers. "What would you command of me?" He asked.

This resulted in her crumbling into heaps of laughter "Robin." She smiled.

He grinned rubbing his nose against hers "I'm glad hear you laughing." He stated, running his hand across her skin.

"It's not hard to do when you talk to me like that."

"Like what?" He asked, unsure.

"You just asked me what I commanded you do." She laughed again, thinking it silly to say out loud.

"I know; do you have an answer?" He chuckled as he began to kiss her neck.

"Do what you please my love." She chuckled, running her hands across his back. "But first. I think you are wearing too many clothes and that I'm at a slight disadvantage." She began to untuck his shirt, first removing his green jacket before pulling his shirt over his head, her eyes gazing over his form. He quickly helped her discard his pants before hovering over her.

She looked down and grinned "I see you're prepared."

"Always when it comes to you milady." He laughed, kissing her as she immediately responded, allowing him entrance to her mouth.

"I should hope so too." She smiled against his lips. Needing desperately to be one again with her soulmate she stated "Are we going to…"

As if reading her mind, his hand found her clit again, breaking her off mid-sentence as a delicious sensation ran through her again. His tongue flicked expertly against hers as he continued to rub her, teasing her. "Robin…" She moaned "Please."

"Since you asked so nicely your majesty." He laughed. Her hand came down and clutched him, positioning him at her entrance.

"I need you, now." She shook her head.

Whenever had he been one to turn her down, slowly he pushed into her, a familiar heat returning to them, the feeling that they had both come home, reunited with their soulmate, as though they hadn't just done this the night before as though they'd been apart for months and their need was escalated by the others absence. Her arms where wrapped around his back, every time he would hit a certain spot inside her, she would accidentally dig her nails into his flesh.

His hands were running across the whole of her body, exploring each and every area, he knew her body by heart, knew every part of it, but that didn't stop him from his expedition. One of her hands slipped between them as she began to touch herself as he sped up their actions, thrusting into her deeper and faster, "Oh God Robin!" She had to remove her hand to hold onto him.

"Regina." he moaned in her ear before beginning to kiss his way up and down her neck. She yelped on one surprisingly deep thrust and so did he when her nails dug in harder than before, this deterred neither of them, if anything the noises spurred them on. She moved her legs up somewhat, meaning that he was hitting the spot each and every time, over and over again, her mind spinning. Her breath was now coming in sharp gasps, as was his, they were matching each other in both noise and reactions.

"Robin." She gasped "Robin." When his lips came into contact with the spot just below her ear that was it, she felt herself clenching around him. "Oh god, oh god." She cried. Then it hit her and he rode her orgasm until he too came, dropping to the side and pulling her to lay on top of him.

"Wow." He laughed hugging her, still inside her, wanting to maintain their connection as long as possible.

She shook her head smiling "I must say thief; I think that might have been even better than yesterday night."

"How?" he chuckled "I don't know how it could have been, yesterday night was perfect."

"So was that." She breathed.

"Yes, I think, every time we are together we get better."

"Definitely." She nodded against his chest. "But I don't know how we'll top this."

"I can think of a few ways."

She let out a loud and completely unroyal snort and immediately covered her face as she continued to laugh. "Oh I think I have well and truly lost the right to call myself royalty."

"You might be right there." He nodded, she looked up a scowled playfully at him. "I think you may have advanced into the divinity section and I don't think god's care how you laugh."

She cast him a wide smile. "No, I'm no goddess, trust me."

"I think you're playing me for a fool, you're secretly a goddess sent to tempt me."

"Did it work?" she asked playing his game.

"Yes I think it did."

She was about to offer him a reply when a loud roar vibrated the castle. "What the hell was that?" She asked, shooting up, forgetting about the lack of clothing and heading to the balcony.

They suddenly heard yelling and Robin began to wiggle into his pants. "Regina?"

"Ogres." She shook her head "They aren't supposed to be this far into the forest.

"Ogres? Here, well I think we better be quick and open a portal back to Storybrooke."

"Yes, come on." With a flick of her wrist, she was dressed in the skinny jeans and checked shirt from their trip to New York. "Let's go find the others and get out of this hell hole."

Rushing downstairs, they immediately found the others. "Geez about time you two." Emma scoffed. "How'd it feel being the Dark One?"

"Horrid, at least no one will be able to access those powers again." Regina shook her head, looking up at Robin.

"Yes, that's all very nice." Killian interjected "But if you hadn't noticed, there are ogres outside."

Regina nodded as she looked at her friends, then suddenly something came to mind "Where's Giselle?" She gasped "Zelena where is she?"

"She said she had to get something from her tree house, I dunno." Zelena waved it off.

"She's out there?" Regina asked beginning to panic. "She's an innocent child, how could you let her go out there alone? Emma?"

"Zelena was watching her, don't blame me."

"Well we need to go and find her." Robin stated, adjusting his bow.

"Can't we just leave, I'm sure the street urchin will be fine." Zelena rolled her eyes.

"You're going to be a mother, how could you say that, she's a little girl." Regina shook her head, appalled at her sister's attitude.

"I know, I know, I'm only kidding, let's go save the child." Zelena threw up her hands. "But I'm not putting my own baby at risk."

"No, you're right maybe you should stay here."

"I said that I'm not putting my own baby at risk, not that I'm not coming along for the ride, this will be my first chance to join the heroes on a proper heroic quest." She said with a slight sarcastic tinge to her voice.

Regina knew that really Zelena wanted nothing more than to join the ever growing side of the heroes, she was just like her in that respect.

Now though, they had another problem, finding one little girl in the abyss that was the Enchanted Forest, while trying not to be eaten by Ogres, at the same time avoiding various forest traps, all in the dark. What's not to love about that?

So what did you think? I always get so nervous when writing smut, I don't know why. Haha.

I thought that Regina needed to believe that true love's kiss really was the most powerful magic and that Robin would always save her, which is why I only kept her as the Dark One briefly.

Please let me know what you thought, I was so worried about this one. xx
