After I dragged Regina into the lingerie store, she just looked around while I picked everything out. It was quite amusing. Every time I picked something, if she didn't like it, she would give me the face. After about an hour, I finally picked a few things out and we went home.
I cooked dinner that night. She insisted that she needed to shower before dinner. I was finishing up her favorite. Marinated pork steaks with carrots, mashed potatoes, and corn. I was turned around facing the stove and I heard the sound of her feet. She came up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"Whatcha cooking?" She asks kissing my cheek.
"I am making my wife's favorite. Marinated pork steaks with carrots, mashed potatoes, and corn." I say turning around. "You look amazing." I say smiling.
"Thank you." She says smiling. "Had to put on what my husband just bought me."
"I'm glad I got it in red, blue, and black." I say chuckling. "I have to say the black is just sexy." I bought her a baby doll top with matching panties. She didn't want a thong so I just got a pair of panties that showed a reasonable amount of her ass. The top was silk and showed a little sliver of her belly. "And how am I supposed to eat with you dressed like this?"
"You'll have to figure out a way." She says smirking.
"Mhmm gimme a kiss since I have to wait take this off of you." I say lifting her into my arms.
"Fair enough." She says smiling. She kissed me so sweetly.
"I'll never get tired of this." I say smiling.
"Me neither." She says hugging me tight.
"Dinner is almost ready. We are eating in the living room while we watch a movie." I say carrying her to the living room. I lay her down on the sofa and kiss her one more time. "I'll be back." I say smiling.
I grabbed a bottle of wine and two glasses. I bring them to the table then head back to the kitchen. I bring out our plates and set them on the coffee table.
"Okay babe. Dinner is served." I say smiling.
"Thank you, hubby." She says smiling. She scoots on the floor and sits in front of the table. I put on the tv and put the DVD in. "What are we watching?"
"It's a surprise." I say smiling. She chuckled and started eating. I hit play and came sat next to her.
It started playing and she dropped her fork. "Are you serious?" She asked looking at me.
"Yeah. You had to know we were going to get a video of the wedding. I thought tonight would be the perfect time to watch it. After we eat, we can cuddle on the couch and watch it." I say smiling.
"Sounds great." She says smiling.
We ate and smiled the entire time. We were finished eating by the time we got to the vows of our wedding. Regina was snuggled into my side and I covered us with a blanket. She ended up crying at my vows again. She was smiling, but tears were sliding down her cheeks. I hooked my finger under her chin making her look at me.
"I love you." I say smiling.
"I love you too." She says smiling. She kissed me sweetly and chuckled into it. "Always making me cry."
"Not on purpose." I say smiling. "But I am glad that when you do cry, I am always going to be the one to wipe your tears away." I say wiping under her eyes.
"One of the reasons why I married you." She says smiling.
"What's the main reason?" I ask curiously.
"I married you because I am so madly and completely in love with you. You have given me something I have always wanted, that beautiful little girl that we made, together." She says smiling. "My little princess."
I smiled and pulled her into my lap. "My Queen is the absolute best."
"My King is pretty amazing too." She says smiling.
I kiss her quickly then smile. "Look, our kiss is coming."
She chuckles. "Babe, we kiss all the time."
"Yeah but that was our first kiss as husband and wife. Totally different."
She smiled and we finished watching the DVD together.
Regina ended up falling asleep in my lap about an hour into the reception part of the video. I let her sleep for a little while longer while I watched some more of the video. It just made me smile and I wanted to keep watching it. There was about an hour left of the video when I started to get tired. So, I scooped her up and headed upstairs. I placed her on the bed and cover her up with a blanket. I put on some comfortable pants before I laid down next to her.
"Robin." She says sleepily.
"I'm right here, babe." I say walking to the bed. "What's wrong?"
"I'm really cold. Can you get me a pair of pajama pants please?" She asks.
"Yeah, babe." I say kissing her forehead. "Babe, are you feeling okay? You're really warm."
"I'm just really cold and my throat kind of hurts." She says sitting up.
"Hold on. Don't sit up. Let me go get the thermometer to check your temperature." I say covering her up. She nods and gets comfortable again. I go into the bathroom and find the thermometer and come back out. I sit on the bed next to her and she scoots closer. "Alright, love. Let's see if you have a fever." I put it in her ear and hold down the button. I wait for the beep and pull it out. "Yes, my baby, you have a fever." I say putting the thermometer on the nightstand.
"What is it?" She asks looking up at me.
"101.2." I say caressing her cheek.
"So much for a honeymoon." She says sadly.
"No worries. We have the rest of our lives to be together. Plus, I like taking care of you. I mean of course I wish you weren't sick, but it happens. I will be here until you get better." I say smiling.
"Thank you." She says smiling.
"You are welcome, beautiful." I say kissing her forehead. "Let me go get you something warmer to put on." I say getting up and going to the dresser. I grabbed her a pair of sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt. "Here babe, put these on."
She sits up and takes them from me. She takes off the top I bought her and puts on the shirt then stands up and slips on the sweatpants. Before she has the opportunity to sit back down, I scoop her up in my arms bridal style. She chuckled as I laid her back down. I covered her up and made sure she was nice and warm.
"Is there anything I can get for you, besides some medicine?" I ask.
"Just some water." She says yawning.
"Okay I'll be right back." I say heading downstairs. I fill up her water bottle and then get some medicine from the bathroom. "Alright, babe. Take this, it should help. And here is water with ice, just how you like it." I say smiling.
"Thank you. I want you to let the kids come home too tomorrow. I miss them." She says laying back down.
"I will go pick them up in the morning." I say happily. "But right now, you need to rest. I will be right next to you if you need anything."
"Okay." She says closing her eyes. I crawl in next to her pulling her close to make sure she stays warm. She turns towards me and lays her head on my chest. I've learned that my heartbeat lulls her to sleep. She is honestly the cutest woman in the world.

Just like she asked, I went to get the kids the next morning. I let her sleep while I went to get them, but I left her a note just in case she woke up.
"My beautiful wife, Went to get our children. Be back soon. Hope your feeling better. There is medicine and fresh ice water on your nightstand. Love always and forever, your husband."
I told the kids on the way home that Mommy was sick and that we needed to help around the house this week and be extra quiet when we got home. Then Henry and Roland talked about all the things they were going to do for Regina around the house. We stopped at the store because they insisted on getting their mommy flowers. The end of this trip costed me about $45 because they each wanted to get her something different. When we got home, they made cards for her. Even Brooklyn colored one. Of course I couldn't leave me out, so I wrote a little note in a card. While they were coloring, I went check on her and she had taken the medicine and fell back asleep. So, I didn't disturb her and went back downstairs. At about 11, I wanted her to get something in her stomach. So, who better to wake her up than the princess herself. I grabbed Brooklyn and she grabbed her flower and card. Brooklyn chose a single, bright yellow sunflower. I walk into the room and place her on the bed. She taps her Mommy's arm, but Regina didn't budge.
"Babe, wake up." I say moving hair out of her face. I kissed her forehead and she was still burning up. I shook her a little bit and that woke her up. She opened her eyes slowly and smiled. "Someone insisted on seeing you right now." I say smiling.
"Momma." Brooklyn says softly.
"Hey, sweetheart." Regina says smiling. "What's this?" She asks sitting up.
"Fower." She says with the biggest smile.
"That was so sweet of you. Come see." Regina says picking her up. "I love it." Then Brooklyn holds the card up in the air. "Is that Mommy's too?" Brooklyn nods really fast. "That's so pretty. So, colorful. Give mommy a hug." Brooklyn stands and squeezes her so tight.
"How about something to eat?" I ask smiling.
"I'm sorry, babe. I have no appetite." She says sadly.
"You have to eat a little something. Maybe toast or fruit. Please, you need your strength." I say.
"Toast is fine, but plain. Nothing on it." She says.
"Okay. I'll be right back. Brooklyn you going to stay with mommy?" I ask.
"Yes." She says laying on her mommy's chest.
"Want some fishies?" I ask smiling. She nods then snuggles back against her mommy.
I head downstairs and tell the boys that mommy is awake and they rush upstairs so fast.
After I get Regina some toast and Brooklyn her gold fish, I made lunch for everyone. I head upstairs to see them all sitting on the bed while Regina reads her cards.
"To mommy Gina, hope you feel better soon. Love always Roland." Regina reads aloud. "Thank you sweetie. I love the tulips. They are so pretty." She says giving him a hug. She grabs Henry's card next. "Mom, hope these flowers bring a smile to your face and love in your heart. Love always Your little prince." Regina says smiling. "Thank you Henry. The lilies are beautiful." She says hugging him.
"Alright lunch time." I say smiling. "Grilled cheese and fishies for Brooklyn, turkey and cheese for Henry, ham for Roland, turkey and ham for me, and plain toast for my love." I say handing everyone their plate.
"Thanks." Henry says smiling.
"Thanks daddy." Roland says with a mouth full.
"Thank you, Robin." Regina says smiling.
"You are all very welcome." I say sitting next to Regina.
Brooklyn is in between Regina's legs, Roland next to Regina, and Henry laying at the foot of the bed. I slip in everyone's favorite movie, Finding Nemo. It's more like Brooklyn's favorite, but we all watch it just to see her smile and hear her giggle. About an hour into the movie, everyone was asleep except Regina and I. I kissed her cheek and she looked over and smiled.
"I have a surprise for you." I say smiling.
"What's that? Medicine?" She asked chuckling.
"No." I say chuckling. I lean over and grab a vase full of roses. "Do you really think I wouldn't get you flowers too."
"No." She says smiling. She grabs the vase and smells the flowers. "You know how much I love roses. Thank you. They are beautiful." She says kissing me.
"Not as beautiful as you." I say smiling. "Plus, I made you a card too." I say handing her a card.
She smiled and read aloud. "To my beautiful wife." She smiled and opened it. "Regina Mills Locksley, your smile brightens my day more than the sun. Your hand in mine feels like heaven. Your eyes are my favorite thing to get lost in. And being with you has been the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I hope that everyday is a new adventure just like it has been. Now that we are married, my smile has never been bigger and my heart has been filled with even more love. I love you more than words can say and cannot wait to see what every day holds for us. I love you forever and always Mrs. Locksley. Hope you feel better soon, babe. Love always your husband Robin." She finishes with a smile. "Thank you Robin. I love it. I love our adventures more than anything in the world. Hopefully, soon we can start a new adventure with another little one."
"I could not agree more. I vowed that I would always make you smile and give you the world. And I will do that till the day I die." I say smiling. "Now, as your husband I am making you get some rest so you can feel better and we can continue our adventures." I say chuckling.
She chuckles and lays her head on my shoulder. "I love you." She says smiling.
"I love you too, beautiful." I say smiling and kissing her forehead.
Before I knew it, my family was fast asleep. Nothing could be better than this.
