Robotic Hand

Note: Robin is not dead. Scarlett is the name of baby Robin.

Robin came in their bedroom to find Regina already in the bed, with her back against the headboard and the blanket on her stomach, staring at the phone between her hands.

"Ok, Roland and Scarlett are both soundly asleep and Henry has just turned off his laptop and he's ready for bed. I'm a superdad!" He annunced proudly, crawling on the bed toward Regina.

"Well done, superdad!" Regina smiled, kissing him when he reached her.

"What are you doing?" He asked then, while slipping under the blankets at his side of the bed.

"Some research about wedding gifts.."

"For Emma and Killian?" He asked, peering over the cellphone screen.

"Of course, who else?" She snorted, watching at him "I really have not ideas. You know.. I'm not very good at doing presents, it's not something I did often in the past.."

"Why did you not ask me? We are a couple, we aren't? We have to do this together.."

She glared at him, wrinkling her mouth "No offense, love, but you're not very expert in this world's costumes.."

"Maybe not but I have a lot of immagination.."

"You have?"

"Yes!"

Regina smiled, then she dropped her phone on the blanket "Ok, tell me.."

"What about a robotic hand?"

"A what?"

"A robotic hand. His wedding night is coming up and there are some things that you can do better with two hands.."

"Robin!" She admonished him, with a frown on her face.

He just shrugged his shoulder trying his best innocuous expression "What?"

She shaked her head "You're disgusting!"

"Why? I'm just saying that usually the groom carries the bride on their new home during their first night, and with two hands it's would be easier.."

"Yes, sure, that's exactly what you mean!" She snapped, but couldn't hide a little smile.

"Of course! What did you understand?" She just gave him a obvious glare and he smiled with a mischievous grin "Oh, you have a very dirty mind!"
Regina opened her eyes wide "Me? Seriously?"

"Yes, but you know.." The man reached for her and bit his lower lip "I like it!"

She laughed but pulled him away with a hand on his chest "Shut up, Robin.. I'm serious.. We need a gift, a good gift and we need it soon!"

Robin shrugged his shoulders, turning to the nightstand to catch the copy of "The story of America" he was reading "I still think that Killian would love a robotic hand!"

"And I still think that you watched too much science fiction movies with Henry!"

"I'm just trying to learn about this world.. and robotic stuff is cool!"

"We're not going to gave to Emma and Captain Guyliner a robotic hand, Robin."

"Why not?!"
"First of all because we don't know where to find one!"

"Oh, now you have a point.."

"Thank you!" She answered, starting again her research on google.

They spent some minutes in silence, Robin with his book and Regina with her smartphone, until the man spoke again "Regina?"

"Mhh?"

"I have two hands.."

She didn't move her eyes from the phone, but smiled "Yeah, I noticed.."

"Do you want to see what a man can do with two hands?"

He was expecting another witty retort, but istead the woman turned to him and smiled flirtatiously "Perhaps.."

Robin didn't wait for a second and moved on the top of her "I'm sure that when I'm done you will love the idea of the robotic hand!" He said kissing her playfully.

"Stop talking about robotic hands!" She told him between kisses "You have just here some flesh and blood stuff that I think you could enjoy.."

"I enjoy it!" He answered, kissing her neck and starting to slip his hands under the nightgown she wore "You can't know how much I enjoy it!"

Both his book and her smartphone fell poorly on the floor, but none of the two noticed.
