The family's first Mother's Day.

Things were still awkward between Regina and Robin ever since that night, but he knew that he had to shove that aside. Mother's Day was coming up and it was going to be the first he'd actually get to spend with one of the mothers of his children. He had given Marian flowers and a necklace when she was pregnant with Roland, but since she died in childbirth, they never had another. When Zelena took off, it wasn't like he was going to be sending her cards or Bryony's handprints. So, normally he took the kids to visit Marian's grave, they'd get lunch and then the rest of the day would be normal.

Now, things were different. He had Regina to celebrate. He wasn't sure what they did, so he turned to Henry for help.

"Evie and I normally make Mom breakfast in bed," he said. "Then we watch T.V for a bit. When Grandma was alive, we'd go out to lunch with her, but now we normally go out with Aunt Mal and Lily. They're not in town this year, though."

"Well, maybe this year we could all go out to lunch as a family. And I could help you with breakfast in bed."

Henry grinned. "That sounds good."

The third Sunday in May, Robin woke up early with Roland, heading down to the cemetery. Bryony was always too young to get what was going on and she had her mother this year, so it was nice to have it just be him and his son. They laid the flowers down and Roland started talking to the headstone. Robin wasn't sure what his beliefs were, but it brought comfort to his son when he talked to his mother, so he never said anything about it.

"Daddy's married again," Roland said, which caught Robin out of his thoughts. "She's really nice and she gives good hugs, her name's Regina. I call her Mommy sometimes and she says that's okay…'cause you're not here. I hope that's okay."

Robin rubbed his back. "Of course it's okay. You know Regina loves you, same as Bryony, Evie and Henry."

"It's okay to have two mommies?"

"Of course it is."

Robin began to wonder to himself if it was okay for him to let go and fall in love again. He hadn't loved Zelena and Regina had been the first person he had been with since then. Was it really okay to let go? To be fully committed to her and love her in the way that a husband loved a wife? Was it fair to Marian?

God, he loved Regina. There was no doubting that, he just wasn't sure if he was ready to let go.

They went back to the house in time to greet Henry and the girls when they woke up. They all huddled in the kitchen, making breakfast together. Henry and Robin were on French toast duty, while Roland helped the girls with the juice and fruit. Robin looked around the kitchen, smiling at Bryony and Evie actually working together, joking around with Roland, calling over to Henry to see what they were doing. They were like an actual family.

"Alright," Robin said as he poured the coffee into a mug. "Why don't you guys go get the stuff you made for your mom in school and then we can go up there?" He had a feeling that Regina was awake, with the amount of noise they made that was inevitable. However, she had been a mom for nearly 11 years at that point. She knew better than to ruin the surprise.

Once they had gathered up their handmade crafts, Robin slid his own box into his pocket and grabbed hold of the tray, following the kids upstairs. Evie and Bryony pushed open the door, jumping onto the bed. Regina pretended to wake up, forcing a yawn.

"What's all this?" She asked.

"Happy Mother's Day!" All the kids shouted.

Regina grinned. "Well, this is quite the surprise."

The kids gave her the gifts, different cards and macaroni necklaces or drawings. Henry had sketched up a pretty realistic looking portrait which made Regina smile extra hard. Robin settled the tray down on top of her lap and she looked up at him with a small smile.

"Thanks," she said, cuddling Evie and Bryony closer to her.

He shrugged. "The kids helped, I was mostly there to use the stove."

"No pop tarts or cereal this year, Mom," Henry cut in with a smirk.

"Well this smells delicious," Regina smiled. "Did you all eat already?"

The kids talked about their own breakfast while she ate and they all watched some cartoons. Robin sat at the edge of the bed, taking it all in. It was their first Mother's Day as a family, Bryony and Roland's first Mother's Day period and it felt…right. The kids were happy, acting like the siblings they were. Regina was smiling fully for the first time since that night and it was like nothing was wrong.

Eventually, Regina sent the kids to get dressed, saying she wanted to take a nice walk. As she got out of bed, Robin walked in front of her, causing her to pause for a minute.

"I um, I got you something," he said.

"Oh…Robin, you didn't have to…"

"I wanted to. You're the mother of my kids. It's what fathers do, right? At least it's what mine did."

Regina chuckled a bit, remembering her own father attempting with Cora a few times over the years. She had been so ungrateful, saying that she wasn't Henry's mother. Heck, she hadn't exactly been very grateful with the gifts that Regina gave her either. It was why Regina treated each and every gift she got from her kids with great care and excitement. She'd do the same with their father, despite how awkward things were between them.

She accepted the box from him and flipped it open. Inside was a silver locket, with an arrow on it. She flipped it open and gasped. Inside were near identical pictures, taken obviously right after the girls were born. One had Henry holding Evie, while the other was Roland holding Bryony. She traced the two pictures, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I had a little help with Henry for the one of him and Evie," Robin explained. "The other one…it was always my favorite picture of Roland and Bry."

"It's perfect," she whispered. She looked up at him, smiling. "Thanks. This is…this is really nice, Robin."

"No problem. Happy Mother's Day, Regina. And thank you. You took care of my daughter when I couldn't."

"Well, you did the same with mine."
