Prompts:

8 I don't want to hear it

15 You knew and you did it anyway

25 Are you even listening to me?

27 I have every right to be angry

Robin slammed the front door as he entered the house, he'd already been in a bad mood but he'd found out something that had made it even worse. He tried his best to provide for his family, tried to make sure they had everything they needed, but it seemed he'd been failing and his girlfriend hadn't even thought to let him know about it.

He was going to college in the day and working at night bar tending, so between the two jobs he barely even got any time to spend with Regina and Heidi. He was working his ass off to provide for his girls, but seemingly that wasn't enough.

Regina appeared at the top of the stairs and wrapped her bathrobe around her as she walked down them, "hey, what's with the slamming? You'll wake Heidi," she whispered, moving past him and into the kitchen. "I only just managed to get her down she was being a stubborn madam tonight."

"Sorry, I'll try to close it quietly in future," he scoffed, rolling his eyes, his tone making her turn around. He could sense an argument coming, he didn't see any way around it, they needed to talk about things. He hated arguing with her.

"Bad shift?" She asked, pressing a hand to his chest in what he assumed was an attempt to calm him down.

"Regina, we need to talk."

She furrowed her eyebrows before nodding and sitting at the kitchen island, "okay, what is it you want to talk about?"

"You borrowed money from your parents again," he stated fixing her with a serious look.

"Yes I did, but I don't see why that's such a problem. It wasn't as if it was a lot of money and I'll pay them back when I get my salary from the bakery," she shrugged.

"What did you even need money for?"

"Groceries, the electricity bill."

"Regina I told you I was handling all that! I was making the money for the electricity bills."

"I know you said you were but..."

"I don't want to hear it Regina! We can't rely on your parents to pay our bills for us. You knew how I felt about your parents giving us hand outs, you knew and you went to them anyway."

"Come on Robin! You're being unreasonable, it wasn't a lot of money and they like to help us out. You need to stop being so proud and let people help us," she spat, glaring at him. He could tell that he'd hit a nerve, she was getting angry and so was he, it wasn't a good combination. "We're only twenty! How are we supposed to cope with all this on our own? I hate it when you do this Robin, it's like if I try to help you just freak out on me."

"I have every right to be angry."

"Are you even listening to me? Robin it's okay to ask for help now and then. We have Heidi to support, our parents understand. You're making yourself ill Robin, you're working too hard and you're going to end up sick, Heidi and I never even see you anymore," she whispered looking down at her hands, immediately making him feel guilty for yelling at her.

"Sorry, I know you're right, I just want so badly to make sure that you and Heidi have everything."

"What we need is you Robin, Heidi needs her daddy and I need my boyfriend." She stood from her chair and moved over to him, he knew that she'd diffused her anger and was trying to do the same to his. He had to say that it was working and he felt himself feeling bad for even brining it up.

She sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around him, in turn he held her close, pressing his lips against her shoulder. "I'm sorry for yelling at you, I'm a stupid idiot."

"You're tired, it's understandable, and yes sometimes you are a stupid idiot," she grinned pressing her lips to his cheeks, "but you're my stupid idiot and I love you so much," she hummed, rubbing her thumbs across his face in a way that relaxed him immediately.

"I love you too," he sighed, hugging her tightly.

"I hate it when we fight."

"Me too. I'm so sorry I yelled at you."

"You already said that," she chuckled, playfully ruffling his hair.

"I know but I meant it."

Regina shook her head and stood up, weaving her fingers with his and leading him towards the stairs, "how would you feel about sharing a bath?" She asked, biting down on her bottom lip as she moved towards the bathroom.

"I think I would like that a lot," he grinned, moving her hair over her shoulder and pressing his lips to the side of her neck, "mmm."

"When was the last time we had sex?" She whispered, moving one arm over her shoulder to wrap around his neck, practically trapping him against her.

"You wanna do it?"

"Hmm, it's been a while since we've had makeup sex."

"I think we should..." he was cut of by a loud cry coming from the room down the hall. "I swear our daughter is like the sex police. She doesn't want her parents to get any," he chuckled. Truthfully he didn't mind Heidi's interruption, he would actually be happy to have some time with her.

"Seems as though sex is off the table," Regina laughed as they walked into their daughter's room, finding the little girl sat up in her crib with tears rolling down her red cheeks. "Oh sweetheart, what is it?" She asked, lifting her out of the cot. As soon as her blue eyes landed on her father she let out a delighted squeal, the tears soon being replaced with pure joy. "Seems she was missing her daddy," Regina grinned handing the little girl over to Robin.

"Hello sweetheart," he smiled pressing a kiss to her small cheek and allowing her to scrunch his shirt up in her tiny fists. Regina wrapped her arm around him as they both talked to their daughter, for the first time in a while, he felt calm and realised that all the work he was putting in was well worth it. His family was his everything and they deserved the world. Arguments over little things were pointless, from now on he would try to make sure that his girls were as happy as they could possibly be.
