Short little Easter chapter for this verse. :) Hope you enjoy!


Regina looked down at the sleeping baby in her arms and closed her eyes as she laid back on the couch, drowning out any noise around her, she was so tired, all the sleepless nights meant that she was drained, it didn't help that Robin was at work all the time, sometimes he was on the night shift, meaning that she had to do everything for the baby. Not that she minded, she loved her daughter fiercely and would do just about anything for her, she was just tired.

She reached for the television remote which was sat on the arm of the sofa and flicked off the TV before pulling her legs up and reclining back with her baby on her chest, her arms holding onto her securely as she slept. Regina made sure that she was safely positioned before laying her head down on a cushion placed on the arm of the couch and pulling the light cover over herself and her daughter. It didn't take long for her to drift off into a much-needed sleep.

A couple of hours later she awoke to the feeling of little fingers touching her, she rubbed her eyes groggily before opening them and looking down to see blue eyes staring back at her. Smiling, she stroked her daughter's back gently before sitting up and pulling Summer closer to her, ghosting her lips over the baby's cheeks. Summer had grown so much since she was born, Regina could scarcely believe it, she seemed to be growing up too quickly. Her baby fussed in her arms, clearly wanting to be fed, Regina glanced at the clock, noticing that it was around the time she usually fed her, so she slowly unbuttoned her shirt before readjusting Summer and allowing her to latch onto her breast in order to feed.

Regina smiled as she gently stroked her daughter's dark spiky hair, listening to the suckling noises she was making and chuckling to herself. It was only then that the scent of food caught her attention, she furrowed her eyebrows and looked over the back of the couch, noticing that Robin's jacket was on the hook and his shoes were on the floor in the hallway. He'd clearly come home from work whilst she was asleep and didn't want to wake her. Just as she was about to call out to him, his head popped around the door from the kitchen and he grinned at her.

"Hello there sleepy head," he chuckled as he walked over to the couch and sat down right on the edge so he could brush a hand over Summer whilst she continued to drink the milk from her mother. "Did you get a nice rest?"

"For the short time it lasted yes," she nodded, her spare hand coming to find his as she joined their fingers, "what time did you get home?" Regina whispered as she brought his hand to her lips and kissed it gently.

"Around twenty minutes ago, dinner will be ready in ten."

"Oh I'm sorry Robin, I should have had it ready…"

"No, you should be relaxing, you're tired, besides I am capable of shoving a pizza in the oven."

"What would I do without you?" she hummed, sitting up properly and adjusting their daughter so she could carry on feeding.

"Probably starve to be honest," he laughed, standing up and kissing the top of her head, "I'm going to bring your food to you, then we'll eat and I'll run you a bath."

"That sounds lovely," she smiled, letting go of his hand as he moved into the kitchen. She looked back at the baby in her arms, her strong sucks were slowing as she grew tired against her. "Are you as sleepy as your mommy?" Regina chuckled, watching as Summer stopped and snuggled against her, her hands gripping her mommy's dark hair. "I'll take that as a yes then shall I sweet girl."

Robin had taken Summer whilst Regina took a much needed relax in the bath, when she got out, both her daughter and fiancé were asleep on their bed, the baby snuggled against his chest as she television blared in the background. Regina Chuckled and flicked off the television before carefully scooping Summer up and moving over to the crib, she gently lowered her inside and tucked her bunny against her. She hoped that they would all get some sleep that night.


The next day was much the same, however today was Easter Sunday and Robin had to go to work, Regina had painted his face that morning, making him into a bunny before sending him off to the hospital to do his shift. She and Summer were in the kitchen, the baby was strapped into her car seat as Regina made some sandwiches and Easter buns, Summer just played happily with her bunny, babbling quietly to herself.

"Which do you like better?" Regina asked, holding up the iced cupcakes for her daughter to look at, one was iced as a chick and the other was a bunny. Summer reached towards the chick one and Regina chuckled before placing them both in a tupperware and placing it in the bag with the little lunch she had organised.

"Okay then little one, I think we have everything we need," she smiled kissing her baby's cheek before lifting up the car seat and heading to the car with full arms, "bye Lola," she called out, watching as the cat sprawled out on the couch making Summer giggle happily, "I don't think she'll miss us, do you?" Regina locked to house up before securing her daughter in the car, making sure she was fastened in properly.

They pulled up outside the hospital, Regina parking in her designated spot before climbing out of the car and lifting her daughter out of her seat and into her arms, Summer hung onto her like a little monkey. "Let's go see your daddy," the little girl squealed loudly and kicked her little legs, "come on bubba," she went through the doors hearing the receptionist coo over her baby.

"Look at you! Oh my god Dr Mills she's beautiful."

"She is," Regina nodded in agreement as she bounced her baby gently on her hip, making her laugh as her fingers grasped onto Regina's shirt. "Have you seen Robin?"

"Yep, he's in cubicles."

"Thank you, I think we'll go pay him a visit," the brunette smiled as she headed off to find her fiancé, she spotted him as he just came out of a cubicle, "look Summer, who's that?" she pointed to Robin and her baby let out a happy squeal as she extended her arms towards him. The noise caught Robin's attention and he turned to look at them, a huge smile lighting up his face as he moved towards them.

"Hiya baby," he grinned, lifting Summer up and kissing her face causing her to wriggle in his arms and pat his cheeks with her little hands. "Look at you," he pulled back looking at the fluffy yellow chick costume Regina had dressed her in, "god, Gina she looks so cute!" He hugged her tight and buried his face against her hair.

Regina watched on and smiled at the sight before moving towards them, "hello there Easter bunny, I don't suppose you have time to have something to eat with your two-favourite people."

"Of course, I do, I haven't taken my break yet, so I can have it now," he wrapped one arm around her after lightly kissing her lips and balancing their daughter on his hip. They headed to the Regina's office, sitting on a blanket laid out on the floor so that Summer could crawl around and move on her own.

Regina leant against Robin as she rested her head on his shoulder, smiling as they watched their daughter playing with a little chick that Robin had given her from the children's basket, "it's hard to believe that this time last year I was telling you that I was pregnant with her and you were asking me to marry you."

"I know, I can't believe it's gone so quickly, I can remember it like it was yesterday."

"I'm afraid I have no surprises to tell today," she chuckled, looking down at the ring on her finger and biting her bottom lip, "when do you think we'll get around to getting married?" Regina asked, glancing up at Robin as he leant in and kissed her gently.

"When do you want to get married?"

"Preferably before next Easter," she smiled, brushing her lips over his, "I'd rather like to have the same last name as the rest of my family, I feel slightly left out of the Locksley club," she giggled, scooping up her little girl who was trying to chew on her toy, she took it out of her mouth and placed it where her daughter couldn't reach it, she instead looked up at it longingly.

"Harsh," Robin laughed as he grasped Summer's hand and played with it gently. "And as for your request, we can get married whenever you want."

"Good to know," she nodded as she took a couple of the cupcakes out of the lunch bag and passed one to Robin before holding the other in front of her little girl. Her eyes widened as she reached out for the cake, she wouldn't be able to eat it, not properly anyway due to the fact that she had gums and no teeth. "Robin, would you be able to take off her costume, I don't want her getting icing all over it."

Robin nodded, unzipping the feathery yellow outfit to reveal the bunny dress she was wearing underneath, he reached for her bib and fastened it around her neck. Regina chuckled at the way Summer didn't even notice what her daddy was doing, she was too busy watching the bun that her mother was holding. Once she was changed, Regina passed her the cake and watched as she stuck her little fingers in the buttercream.

Robin and Regina tried to hold back their laughter as she played with the icing, looking at her hands before putting her fingers in her mouth, her eyes widening and little legs kicking happily as she reached out for the cake and almost smashed her face into it, sucking on the icing and humming as she did so. The chocolate smeared all over her face as she tried to bite into the bun using her gums. She squealed before pulling the cake apart with her hands and smushing it into her mouth.

Regina grinned at Robin as they both chuckled at their little girl, "messy madam," Regina cooed as she reached for the packet of wet wipes so she could wipe her face. When she was finished all that was left of the bun was smashed up sponge and a soggy wrapped, Robin dropped it in the bin whilst Regina cleaned her daughter's hands. Once she had finished Summer clapped playfully before rolling over and laying with her head against Robin and her bottom on Regina. "Excuse me miss," Regina laughed, earning a bought of playful giggles from the little girl.

"As amazing as this lunch was, I have to get back to work babe," Robin stated with a sigh as he leant over and kissed her lips before lifting Summer up onto her mother's lap.

"Yes, you do," she agreed, beginning to tidy away the remnants of their lunch, "I'm making lasagna tonight."

"Mmm, yummy, looking forward to it, I suppose I will see my two-favourite ladies later."

"Love you," Regina smiled.

"Love you too," he grinned as he pushed the door open and went back to work.

"Okay then sweetie pie, let's go home, we can go see Lola."

"Ola!" The baby clapped, making Regina's eyes widen in shock, what did she just say?

"Summer, say it again," she tilted her head at the baby, she and Robin had been in a competition for their little girl to say their names first, but she had remained quiet apart from the odd gurgle, but that had certainly sounded like a word. "Summer, do you want to go see Lola?"

"Ola!" she smiled, falling onto her side as she laughed happily, "Ola! Ola!"

"You said Lola!" she cooed, lifting her up and kissing her face, "do you love Lola Summer?"

"Ola!"

"Well then, let's go see Lola," she carried placed her on her hip and headed out of the room, finding Robin, "Robin!"

"Hey, I thought you were heading home."

"We are, but Summer just said her first word!" Regina stated happily as they both looked to the baby who was clinging to her toy bunny.

"What?! God it was mama wasn't it," he groaned.

"Nope," she shook her head, she was rather glad that it had been neither mama nor dada, "Summer, who are we going to see?" Regina asked watching their daughter tilt her head at them, "are we going to see Lola?" She said nothing in reply and Regina furrowed her eyebrows, why wouldn't she say it now? She had been more than eager to say it before.

"What is she supposed to be saying?" Robin chuckled, "what does it have to do with Lola?"

"Ola! Ola!" Summer clapped, causing Robin's mouth to drop open in shock.

"She just said Lola," he gasped, "oh my god, baby, you just said Lola didn't you."

"Ola!"

"Well, I think we know where our little girl wants to go, she wants to see Lola," Regina laughed, bouncing her gently, "see you at home," she winked at Robin before heading out of the hospital towards her car. Once Summer was strapped in to her car seat, she took her place behind the wheel.

They arrived home and opened the door only for Lola to run towards them, letting out little meows as she did so, she rubbed against Regina's legs happily, Summer reached out and babbled happily, "Ola, Ola." Regina grinned as she made her way into the sitting room and placed her daughter down on the rug, watching as her cat nuzzled up to the little girl and Summer reached for her, patting her gently as Regina and Robin had taught her.

The cat purred as she curled up against the baby, Regina couldn't help but take a picture of them, they were so adorable. She couldn't believe how lucky she was, she had everything, a beautiful daughter, an amazing fiancé and the most perfect life she could have hoped for.
