Chapter 3

When Robin went back into the room, the scene that was in front of him was one he thought he would never see again; his son cuddling in the arms of his mother, something he has dreamt about but never thought to have again.

Robin was on the phone with his brother Will to ask if he could stay with the kids a bit more because something came up; 'something came up Will so if you could stay with the kids a bit more it would be really helpful' it's what he said had happened to his brother.

Because how do you say to someone that your dead wife isn't so dead anymore? How the hell he is going to tell to his kids that their mother, the one that every time there was the occasion of making a wish they asked for her to came back, was actually alive?

Well at least one of them already knew. Henry knows and while he was really surprised he was also really really happy to have his mother back. And now he has to find a way to tell his daughter and son and while telling Alyson was going to be easier than to tell Roland, it still wasn't going to be a walk in the park.

She could feel him staring and she was torn: looking at him, knowing that if she did she would have to face him or continuing to stroke her son's hair and ignore Robin. That was a really big dilemma. Regina decided to stay with her son until she was sure he was asleep and then she got up from the bed and she went where Robin was standing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to tell him like this, but then he woke up and I just turned around and answered him without thinking. Just like everything I ever do…" the last part was just a whisper but Robin heard it anyway and in any other moment he would have told her that he wasn't true, that she was always rational in every thing she did. But now he couldn't because he was still trying to figure out his feeling.

"It's okay, I'm glad that at least one of them knows. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to tell your kids that their mum is alive. It wasn't easy tell them you were dead either but at least that was it" Okay maybe this wasn't the right way to start this conversation and he hurried to add an I'm sorry to her. But she didn't say a thing; he was right: it would be better if she had stayed dead. "Before telling the other two I was thinking that it could be a good idea talking with the psychologist that helped us when…" he couldn't end that sentence, it's still hurt to much even if she was standing in front of him.

"Whatever you think is best for them, I have no rights to tell what is right or wrong for them." And to that he didn't know what to say.

They stare at each other for a moment before he moved past her and he went to his son's bed to stroke his hair. "I'm going to go. Call me if you need to, if after you tell the kids by some miracle they decide they want to see me or if you decide it's better if I never see them again." With that she wrote down her number and then she went to say goodbye to her son "Bye sweetheart, I love you. I'll see you soon hopefully." She kissed his forehead and she made the move to exit the room when her son's voice stopped her; apparently he wasn't asleep as she thought

"Mommy, where are you going?"

"I have to go home, I have things to take care of, I still have to talk with my mother…"

"You don't want to stay here with me? You don't love me anymore?" And God he sounded so little and so scared "Henry, of cour…" his father began to speak but he was interrupted by his mother "Of course I love you. I love you and your siblings more than anything in this world but I have to go to my house." House and not home, because there's no home without her family.

"But why can't you stay here?! Soon dad will go home and I'll be here alone again" Henry argued.

"But then he will came back with your siblings and we still haven't told them what is going on."

"No, he won't because he never brings them here in the evenings, they always come after school. And dad will leave right after dinner. Please stay, I don't want to go to sleep without you again!" And now he was crying and both his parents' heart were breaking. Robin didn't know what to say but for the first time in three years he wasn't the one who had to try to calm down his son because since the moment Henry saw his mother, it was like Robin didn't exist anymore and he couldn't blame his son since he missed Regina so much too.

"How about this: mum goes to her house and she does whatever she has to do and then comes back after your dinner so when I'll go home she will be here. What do you both think?"

"Works for me. Is it okay for you sweetheart?"

"You promise to came back this time?" "I'll come back really soon and from now on I'll tell you every time I have to go somewhere." With that she made her way out of the room only to be followed by Robin

"Where are you going now? I know it's not my business but…"

"I understand. I have to go to my mother. I have to try to talk to her without giving her a heart attack. I just hope Robert or Neil are there. I'll see you later." And with that she was gone, before Robin could stop her again.

She was standing in front of her childhood home and she didn't know what to do. She couldn't just go, knock and wait for her mother to open the door; doing this would really give her a heart attack. But what she could do? Well someone, somewhere must really love her because behind her appeared her brother and that could solve part of the problem, or so she hoped. "Reggie?"

"Yes..."

"It's really you?"

"It's me"

"How? You were dead, we buried you, I cried… Our parents cried… And now you here, alive and well?"

"Would you believe me of I told you it wasn't my decision leaving all of you, but it was for the best because we all were in danger?"

"That's depends. Are we still in danger? Are you going to stay or are you going to disappear again?"

"No, yes, no." but after she saw his confused face she explained better: "No, we are not in danger anymore, yes, I'm going to stay; no, I'm not going to disappear again."

"You'll tell me the whole story another time but now can I please hug you? I missed you so much!"

"You have no idea how much I missed all of you."

"Have you already seen Robin and the kids? They must be so happy."

"I saw Robin and Henry and while he was happy to see me, Robin not so much..." she said sadly

"That explains your face, you look good"

"I look like shit, you can stop lying. I have to ask you something tough: I have to tell my mother I'm alive but if I'll go in by myself, I don't know what will happen. And since I don't know if your father is in…"

"My father is out now but I'll try to break the news to her. Come in, I'm going to talk to her and you're going to wait in the hall".

While she was waiting, she had the time to think how her mother was: she was a loving mother but also really strict when it was needed; her sister was 12 and she was 9 when their father died and on their mother it was really hard, but they stuck together. She was 11 when her mother introduced them Robert and Neil and the next year they got married; at the beginning, it was strange, but then it was just normal. Like it was normal having her big brother helping her when she was in trouble. And now she was in really big, bad and terrible trouble.

"You are telling me she is alive and you pretend I believe you? We buried her" Regina could heard her mother's voice from the hall

"I know it's hard to believe but it's her. I've talked to her and I've hugged her. It's really our earthquake" and now Regina was crying hearing her nickname.

"I need to see her. If it's true I need to see her with my own eyes. Where is she?"

"She's nearer than you think, wait a moment. Earthquake why don't you join us?" And so she did and she almost gave an heart attack to her mother, thank god to her brother

"Hi mom."
