A/N: Yaaaaaaaay I forgot to update this like a long time ago, my bad y'all!
Regina started laughing, Ella's sobs ceased and she looked at Regina confused, Regina was literally in a fit of laughter.
"What the hell Regina!" Ella yelled, her cheeks were stained with tears, she didn't understand why she was laughing so hard.
"Regina quit it!" Ella said she was getting really pissed off super-fast, "Aren't you supposed to make me feel better?" Ella asked, Regina wiped away her tears of laughter.
"Elizabeth Grace Locksley, look where we are right now and tell me this isn't the most absurd thing you've ever seen." Regina said, she was right, Regina was dressed very professionally in a tree and they were in the middle of the park.
"Nobody told you to climb up a tree Regina." Ella said sternly
"Don't get snappy with me young lady." Regina teased, "Now tell me why you ran out of the car hm? Was it because I didn't allow you to cope with your feelings in a negative way?" Regina asked, Ella sighed and wiped away all her tears
"It's more than that, we both know it." Ella said
"Understood, tell me then." Regina said, Ella went silent, "Can you at least tell me about this officer Bryan then?" Regina asked
"Before you jump to any conclusion I never dated him, his name is Liam. We were great friends when we were in elementary, in fact he was my best friend back then before Kenzi had moved into town, then we drifted, we were both in high school when he had Austin, all he needed was a babysitter." Ella said
"I wasn't going to sweetheart but keep going." Regina said squeezing her knee
"I was still with Jax at the time, I would go over to his house and watch Austin, his girlfriend was much older than us but she was always off working in different places, I would watch Austin until Liam came home then I'd go back to the penthouse, it was a simple arrangement until I started to feel something for him and Austin." Ella said
"Love?" Regina asked
"I didn't know what love was back then but I guess that's what it was, I was young and scared if we did love each other I could never be ready for a kid, being around Roland was hard enough but I was able to sleep while dad took care of him, but I would be that person with Austin and Liam. I was just scared." Ella said
"Dear you have every right to be, just as you are now, you are still a child growing up you don't need a child to take care of when you still are one." Regina said mimicking one of their previous conversations.
"I know. I just don't know all these feelings are so confusing, I mean Jax and I are supposed to get married but he left, and I shouldn't be mad at him or anyone for that matter." Ella said, "I just need to be done with all this drama I caused, I need to grow up Regina." Ella said finally realizing, "I need to stop acting like a damn child, I need to get my life together and live already." Regina nodded slowly
"If that's what you think you need to do; I say go for it dear." Regina said smiling
"We need to get out of this damn tree first." Ella said rolling her eyes, Regina chuckled
"I couldn't agree more." Regina said, Ella went down first, Regina following her, Regina put back on her heels as the pair went to look for Tink and Kenzi. They found them sitting on a bench and walked in front of them.
"Hey bubs what's going on, you good or what?" Kenzi asked, Ella smiled and nodded
"Kenzi it's time." Ella said sternly, Kenzi eyed her suspiciously and crossed her legs and folded her hands on her legs.
"What do you mean?" Kenzi asked curiously
"I mean like time time, no more fuck ups." Ella said
"Jeez, mind your mouth dear." Regina said shaking her head
"Kenzi, I'm so serious it's time to act on our pact." Ella said pulling her up, Kenzi grumbled but stood up then stomped the ground and threw a little tantrum she stomped around the bench cursing under her breathe stood on the bench and yelled "FUCK!" she hopped off and headed towards the car, Regina and Tink just stared confused. Ella broke out into laughter she wiped away her tears.
"What?" Tink mumbled
"Sorry, Kenzi is stressed out." Ella said laughing, "We'll explain later on, we have to get back." Ella said following Kenzi, Regina and Tink looked at each other in disbelief
"With everything that's been going on, we shouldn't be surprised but damn, what the hell was that." Tink said to Regina
"I know Tink, I don't really know how to respond, I suppose we just go with it." Regina said
"Sure." Tink said half laughing
Robin woke up early to find Regina and Ella gone, he knew they were probably talking somewhere about the events that went on last night he changed and went down the stairs to make breakfast for everyone. Roland would wake up at any moment, and Tiffany and her fiancé would probably wake up as well. He hummed to himself while making the food. An hour and a half had passed and the food was all done he placed it in the dining area.
"Good morning." Tiffany said smiling at Robin, her fiancé in tow
"Good morning you two." Robin said
"How did you sleep uncle?" Tiff asked taking a seat next to Robin, her fiancé sitting next to her
"Alright, how about the two of you?" Robin asked
"Quite well." Jay said
"That's great, I wanted to thank you two for helping out last night, I probably couldn't have done it without the two of you." Robin said putting food on his plate
"Of course." Tiff said, "I love you guys, I'd do anything you know."
"I do know that, it's great to have you back." Robin spoke, "So when's the wedding?" Robin asked
"Oh, its-"
"Dad!" Ella yelled from the living room, "Dad!" she yelled again
"Seems like Ella is home." Tiff said chuckling
"In the dining room Ella!" Robin yelled. The three laughed and watched a very determined Ella and a displeased Kenzi followed by Regina and Tink coming into the room
"Dad." Ella spoke she stood up straight with her hands on her hips smiling, "It's time I'm ready." She said
"Ready for what exactly?" Robin asked
"Give it to me." Ella said with one fist in the air, she was clearly pumped
"Give what?" Robin asked smiling his daughter was something else, Tiff chuckled knowing where this was going, Ella started to pretend like she was boxing she hopped from side to side with her fists punching the air
"Yeah daddy-o, we're ready." Kenzi said laughing mimicking Ella
"Give it to us." Kenzi said
"Yes, we are totally ready for it all." Ella said
"Elizabeth." Robin said chuckling, "What do you want."
"My share!" Ella said shooting one hand into the air and paused, Kenzi laughed and did the same
"Your share hm?" Robin asked
"Yes! I have plans for it." Ella said resting her hands on her hips
"And what are those plans?" Robin asked
"I can't tell you yet, but I'm done being this little wreck dad. I want to grow up, I need to." Ella said
"Is that right?" Robin asked
"Yes daddy-o, Ella said she wants to act on our pact, I'm ready for my share too!" Kenzi said smiling
"Kenzi." Robin said laughing
"Come on! I'm practically your child too and you know it." Kenzi said winking
"Fine, if you two are serious about this and I mean it, I will give you what I see fit." Robin spoke sternly
"Okay." Ella said smiling big
"Yes, yes, yes." Kenzi said flinging an arm around Ella
"Kenzi, you will go back to your original plan then?" Robin asked, Kenzi groaned
"Yes. I promise, but that means I won't see you guys a ton, unless you wanna stop by my shows that is." Kenzi said
"We will drop in once in a while to see how you are doing, I will give you one million dollars for your tour bus and the rest is for your road expenses you got it?" Robin asked, Kenzi's smile widened
"Yes!" she practically screamed
"Okay, now sit down and join us." Robin said, Kenzi nodded
"Ella, your turn." Robin said, Ella nodded
"Now, I was informed that while we were in Beijing you met with some people to jump start your art career." Robin said
"How did you-" Ella began to ask
"I always know love." Robin said, "You will need a team of five perhaps, the actual building for your very own art gallery is roughly 500,000 to 1.5 million dollars, to keep it up it will be at least 100,000 dollars a month to run it which means the art you sell will have to be around 15,000 to 20,000, now that is your first show. For your own art, I'd like for you to just showcase it so see how much people are willing to pay for it, after a few shows I want to set up a meeting with other gallery owners to help you a bit more, do you understand Ella?" Robin asked, Ella smiled and nodded vigorously, "Now this is a one shot type of situation, I won't be able to monitor all the time, I am giving you a lot of responsibility and trust Ella, if you can do all of this then you may have a bit more of your money." Robin said
"Yes, dad thank you so much!" Ella said she wrapped her arms around her dad and showered him with kisses
"You're welcome." Robin said hugging his daughter back, "You may sit and eat with us after you get your brother."
"Okay, I'll go get him." Ella said quickly leaving the room
"Wow." Tink mumbled, Tiff chuckled
"That's the Locksley wealth for ya." She said, "Why don't you two join us for breakfast hmm?"
"Sure." Regina said smiling, she took a seat next to Robin and smiled
"You look lovely this evening; however, you have a leaf in your hair." Robin said plucking it out, Regina's cheeks reddened a bit
"Oh." She said
"Why is that?" he asked
"It's a long story." Regina said chuckling
"Seriously." Kenzi said laughing, Tink joined, Tiff, Jay and Robin laughed along knowing it had to do with their morning shenanigans with Ella.
"Roland, buddy?" Ella softly called pushing open his room door, she walked to his bed and pulled the sheets he wasn't there, she began to panic a bit and went to check the other rooms and bathrooms skipping the dining room where everyone was, she knew he wasn't in there or they would have said something. She went back to his room.
"Roland?" she yelled, "Bud are you hiding? If you are can you please come out?" Ella said, all she heard was silence
"Roland!" she began to scream, "Where are you?" she was met with silence once again, had he left or something? How could they all not notice, when did he get up and leave he was a six-year-old for goodness sakes.
"Shit." She mumbled tears began to flood her eyes, she rocked back and forth.
"Think Ella, think." She whispered to herself, she searched her thoughts and racked her brain. What would you do at this point?
"Call Jax." She mumbled, but that was totally out of the question. She pressed her hands to her eyes hard trying to force herself to think of something else.
"Ella!" Regina's voice rang from down the stairs, Ella didn't move she continued to mumble to herself trying to formulate some sort of plan, Regina walked up the stairs to Roland's room, she saw Ella with her legs crisscrossed her hands on her eyes she was rocking gently, she saw tears falling from her cheeks, she looked around for Roland but he wasn't there.
"Where is Roland Ella?" Regina asked rushing towards the girl
"I don't know, I looked everywhere but he's gone." Ella sobbed
"Okay dear, calm down, does he have some sort of tracker on him or something, I know some people place those things in their kids stuffed animals or-"
"His necklace!" Ella practically screamed, she hopped up and pulled out her phone
"His necklace?" Regina asked
"Yes, god you're a flippin genius!" Ella spoke she began tapping on her phone like a mad woman, she looked at her screen and saw the little circle wasn't too far, he was at a park
"Can you drive me to him?" Ella asked
"Of course, let's go but tell your father first okay?"
"Okay." Ella said, she ran towards the dining room with Regina and explained the whole situation to her father, the three immediately went down to the lobby to talk to the guard, he explained that Roland was going to the park and someone was already outside, after a million apologies, the three headed towards the park.
"I'm sorry for freaking out and not being able to think of that. God, I just panicked." Ella said softly to Regina, Regina turned around from the front seat and smiled
"It's quite alright, I know you're trying to grow up but even adults need help sometimes." Regina said glancing at Ella.
"Thank you." Ella said, Regina smiled
"Of course, dear." Regina said sitting normal now, Robin smiled a little at the two and headed straight for the park.
