Hi, girls.

As usual, I'd like to thank my friends Monica, Gabi and Nikki for reviewing this story. You're amazing!

So, they already have an actor to play King Arthur. What do you think? Well, I think my Arthur is better! Hahahaha I'm kidding! The guy is really handsome too.

I still can't believe it but I heard that Zelena's baby will be born in Season 5. Yeah…prepare yourselves for that!

Finally, Robin and Regina are having a sincere talk here but not THE final conversation, the big one is on the next chapter. Let's have some smut before the storm.

Anyway, thank you for your reviews. It means a lot to me!

I hope you enjoy this chapter. *-*

CHAPTER 4

"Robin…Robin…" Regina said in a low tone close to his ear, stroking his hair softly.

"Hm…" He mumbled and tilted his head a little.

"You're late." He said in a sleeping voice, rubbing a hand over his face.

"I'm sorry!" She muttered softly.

"That's a lot going on to the town. Some people just appeared here out of the blue."

"What?" He asked her straightening his posture on the chair.

"We don't know almost anything about it yet. We just know they are from Camelot. Tomorrow we'll try to gather more information."

"Did you do that for me?" She said with eyes softening, gesturing at the scenery surrounding her.

He nodded sadly and forced a smile to his face.

"It's beautiful, Robin. I loved it; nobody ever did something like this for me." She said with tears in her eyes.

Regina awkwardly cleared her throat and rubbed her hands together nervously before speak again.

"And now that you did, I screwed up! I'm so sorry."

He stood up immediately and hugged her tied. She buried her face on the crook of his shoulder and hugged him back.

"Hey, it's not your fault! You were managing with some town's issues; I understand it." He said lifting her chin with his finger and looking into her eyes lovely.

"I just wanted to enjoy it but now it's too late!" She said softly, not been able to contain her tears anymore.

"There's no need to cry, my love." Robin cupped her face as he wiped the tears away with his thumbs.

"I know…" Regina trembled at the intensity she saw in his eyes. She was feeling too sensitive lately, maybe because she was repressing a lot of confused thoughts in her mind.

"Well, maybe we can eat something before sleep. Of course, if you are not too tired." He said with his gorgeous dimpled smile and kissed her softly.

"Besides, it'd be a shame for the snails!" He gave her a mischievous grin.

Regina raised one brow eye, genuinely curious about his answer. When she understood what he was implying, she laughed loud, throwing her head back and making him smile with her.

That was good; it had been a long time she didn't laugh sincerely like that with him.

"I can't believe you did that! And I told you they're not snails, they are called escargots!" She missed that: the flirting and funny moments. She missed them, the real them.

"Oh, fancy snails then!" He replied with his eyes shining with join.

"No more than your suit." She could see he had missed them either and she decided to play along as long as she could.

"Actually, I think this is the first time I'm seeing you dressed like that." He was really handsome and she couldn't resist but touch his chest and start to play with his tie, giving him a mischievous smirk.

"Easy, milady. You have to eat some snails and if I know you well, you don't eat anything in a while, right?"

Just now Regina realized how hungry she really was. He was right; she had barely eaten a sandwich with him on lunch.

"Alright but before I'm risking to eat that, I have to know how you cooked your snails!" She said, still playing with his tie.

"Well, the internet helped me a lot but I can't deny that I had extra help!" He chuckled.

Regina frowned.

"Belle, she helped me." He admitted.

"Of course! Let's eat some snails then!"

Regina was really tired but she couldn't miss this moment; she'd enjoy everything he had done for her. Especially because it had been a long time they didn't have a light and funny moment together. She was tired but happy, really happy. Maybe things would come back to the way they were before, the way they supposed to be.

"The cushions were a great idea." She said lying down on a blanket that was outstretched on the ground, her head lying on his chest.

"I never thought I would like to watch the stars. It's so slushy!" She was feeling ridiculous but at the same time she was in peace. This was everything she needed for now.

"Indeed it is"! He smiled brightly, pulling the blanket to their chest and nudging her closer to him.

"It's perfect, Robin. Thank you." Regina lifted her head, gave a quick but lovely peck on his mouth and kept staring at him.

"What?" He frowned in confusion.

"I just wished things were less complicated…I just wished this, being ridiculous with you!" She let out a quickly laugh.

"Me too." He admitted.

"Just…don't leave me again." She said with a timid voice and swallowed hard.

"Regina…" He made his way to a sitting position taking her with him and took her face between his hands, caressing her cheeks lightly.

"Is that what you are afraid of?" He asked her but before she could answer, he continued.

"You know I never left you because I wanted to; it was necessary. It was the only way I could save Marian." After saying that he closed his eyes tightly and shook his head, smiling sarcastically.

"If I knew at that time she wasn't Marian, I'd never had left the town. I was wrong; if I hadn't done that, none of this would have happened. I should have let her die." He nodded his head and screwed his eyes shut.

"Robin, don't say it, that's not you! There was no way we knew about that at the moment and even if we did, we wouldn't let her die."

"I know…I'm sorry! I never thought things would become like this between us." He chuckled sadly.

"Today I was walking on the woods and I saw our log. Do you remember it?" He asked her and she nodded in affirmation.

"Things used to be so good at that time. We were falling in love and I hadn't screwed up everything!" He added quietly.

"Things just…happened! Zelena did set up everything and she used you to get her revenge against me. I'm not blaming you about that but…" She was sighing loudly and running a hand through her hair.

"It's just…I wanted to be sure."

She knew they had to have this conversation but that wouldn't make things easier for her. How could she say some things to him? He was a victim too but at the same time, he had given up on her so fast and easy. She didn't want to ruin their perfect night. She was conflicted.

Did he have forgotten about her so fast? Would she tell him about that? But how?

"Sure about what?" Robin asked her with wary eyes, taking her out of her thoughts.

"About you not giving up on me again…" She said and blinked away the unshed tears.

"Regina…"

"No, let me finish this!" She said, cutting his words.

"I know you have your code of honor and I understand that but what if Zelena needed you by her side because of the baby? Your responsibility is towards to the child now, Robin…and Zelena is carrying it." She inhaled deeply and continued.

"I just want to be sure if something happens, you won't leave me again, you won't give up on me again so easily, you won't put your honor above me, above us again!" The words were out before she could stop them. She finally could say loudly and clearly the words that were unspoken until now but were in her mind, bothering her for a while.

"Regina, trust me…I won't." He cupped her face and she closed her eyes at the sensation of his touch against her skin. He felt his throat begin to constrict as he saw the hurt in her face and he knew he had caused this.

"I already made this mistake and look what we got! I won't do it again! I won't choose my honor over you again. Please, believe me!" He said looking directly at her eyes.

"But you know I have to be there for the baby, don't you? There's no way I'd let that insane woman take care of that child! She has no condition for it; she doesn't want the baby, Regina. The baby is only a part of her sick plan against you but it's not the baby's fault!" He completed with some angry in his voice.

"I know…I know! It's not the baby's fault!" Regina said looking down and bit the inside of the cheek.

"Is there something else you want to tell me?" He took her chin in his hand and lifted her head up.

"No, there's not." Regina tried to avoid his eyes and turned her head away from him.

"Regina, tell me, please. What is it?" He held her head gently and turned her face to him again.

Regina was trying to tell him about her situation for a long time but she couldn't do it. Since New York, she gave him some clues about this delicate subject but she had never touched on it again. It was too painful for her. She knew it was her fault, she had done that to herself and she had regretted about it since ever. But now it was too late; there was no way to come back and reverse it. If only she could…

"I can't have children! I took an infertility potion a long time ago." She blurted and couldn't control her tears anymore.

Robin hugged her tied, trying to comfort her.

"Regina, we don't need more children; you have Henry and I have Roland. We're trying to build a family together." He caressed her hair softly as he slid a hand on her back up and down.

"Of course it's not easy since Roland is constantly bothering Henry and stealing his favorite comic books! And oh…add the fact that Roland always wants to change the TV channel when Henry is watching his movies. And the most important thing: we still have to learn how to be more careful about…you know about what!" He tilted up an eyebrow and lifted her head to face him.

"I don't think is a good idea to give a potion to ours sons every time they caught us in the act!" He chuckled.

"Unless, of course, you have a secret desire to build a forgetting potion's shop here on the backyard!" He said with a smirk, trying to make her feel better; he couldn't stand to see her sad like that.

Regina couldn't resist but smile loud and hit his chest playfully.

"You're an idiot"! She said still laughing and shaking her head.

"What I'm trying to say is we're still adjusting into this new life, Regina. I won't lie to you that I had never dreamed about a little girl with raven locks and blue eyes running after her brothers and conjuring some kind of weird magic on them." He admitted it and her smile fade away.

"But you know what? If one day you want more kids, we can adopt one…or ten if you wish, like you did with Henry." And he continued:

"But we don't know what the future has prepared for us. Maybe you can reverse that, maybe…"

But she did cut him before he could say anything else.

"No, I can't! It's impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible, Regina. We live in a town with magic, there's always hope." He replied determined.

"Are you sure you're not Snow's relative?" She joked.

He was right, they could adopt a child and she would love that child as she always loved Henry and this thought made her smile again. Since she decided to have this conversation with him, she though it would be difficult and sad but he had the ability to make her feel good even on the hardest moments. With him it was just normal and simple.

"But there's a problem!" He said with a serious look, raising his eye brow.

"What?" She answered, already expecting another problem coming up.

"To make a baby, we have to…you know, practice! He said, making her chuckled.

"What are you suggesting, Locksley?" She said and started to play with his tie again, nibbling her lower lip provocatively and in a fast move, she was straddling him.

"Regina!" He adverted her as if she was a dish child but let out a quickly laugh.

"What? Don't you miss me?" She whispered in his ear and started to rub her sex over his pants.

"Hm, I can feel you do!" She said in a provocative tone, still rubbing her wanting sex over his already half hard member.

"Did I tell you I loved this suit?" She completed and kissed him hard.

"Milady, you stop with this now or…"

But she did cut him, twitching her fingers through his tie and bringing his face really close to her.

"Or what, Outlaw? Will you fuck me hard? Will you make me scream your name when I come senseless?" She tilted her head in a flirtatious manner to him and said in her most alluring voice.

He breathed in her words in his mouth, biting his lower lip and grabbed her arse firmly, bringing her even closer to him, if that was even possible.

"It's been a while, Regina. What were you trying to do? Tease me, test me or drive me crazy? You did let me feel you warm on the bed every single night, let me breath your scent but didn't let me be inside you?" He said with hungry eyes as he started to tease her nipples with his thumbs over the fabric of her dress.

"Hmm…" She moaned at his touch.

"Maybe I was teasing you, maybe I was mad at you, maybe I was just testing you…who knows?" She said and kept rubbing her wet bundle of nerves over his pants.

He wanted her badly; he had missed her badly but that damn dress and his pants were on his way.

Damnit! Where the hell was the zipper of that damn thing?

He'd never know.

"Regina…" he begged her and she knew exactly what he wanted but she decided to play forward with her evil game.

"Tell me, Locksley! What were you doing with your morning trouble?" She asked, feeling his evident hardness. Suddenly she grabbed it over the fabric of his pants and squeezed it firmly.

He threw his head back and moaned.

"Regina, please!" He begged her.

This woman was impossible!

"Show me what you can do, Locksley." She whispered these words really close to his ear and bit softly his ear bone.

Robin looked at her teasing face and couldn't control himself anymore; with a dashing movement, he grabbed the handles of her dress with all force and he ripped her dress in half, leaving her exposed to him for the waist to above.

Regina froze but loved his boldness.

"You will pay for this"! She said touching his mouth with her fingers, playfully.

"Gladly, milady!" He said as he nipped and placed wet kisses along her jaw.

"And thank you for not wearing that beautiful but weird thing you called as bra on this land." He said and she grimaced but grinded against him, tightening her legs around his hips and making him moan.

Robin let out a soft groan as her lips moved hungrily against his. Her tongue darted out touching his lips, seeking permission to enter which he granted. He buried one hand on her hair as the other was cupping her breast and teasing her nipple with his thumb.

The feel of him hardening underneath her made her pulse quicken. She wanted him and if he kept kissing and teasing her like that, she could come over her panties.

A devilish grin appeared on her face as they parted to catch some breath. He knew she was up with something but he didn't expect what was coming next: with a bold and quick motion, she did the same with his shirt as he previously had done with her dress, making the buttons flying away over the air.

"Milady, I think David wouldn't like what you did to his shirt." He said to her trying to keep a serious tone.

"Really? I guess he wouldn't like what I'm about to do with his pants too!" She was smiling provocatively, biting her lower lips as she started to work on his belt, rubbing her fingers on his hard length intentionally.

"Be gentle with his suit or else you'll pay for this." He said, mimicking her owns previous words.

"You know I'm not gentle!" She slid down his pants with his boxers hastily to his thighs and then to his feet, pulling them off and dropping them somewhere on the floor.

She got up and pulled down the dress she was half wearing, slowly and in a provocative way, never breaking eye contact with him. When she was only with her white lace panties, she straddled him again.

"I like white." He said, playing with the bows of her underwear.

"I know." She said, putting her hands on his chest, caressing it softly and feeling his hard muscles and his heart beating fast.

"I've missed this." She confessed and trembled at the intensity she saw in his eyes.

"And I've missed you badly." He said, stroking the sides of her body with his fingerprints until he reached her face, cupping her cheeks with his hands and putting a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"I love you." He mumbled these words against her cheek, his lips making their way to hers and she began to rock against him steadily, making him groan inside her mouth.

She wound her arms around his neck and kept kissing him passionately. They kissed hard and long, as she kept rubbing her sex against him. He held her close, caressing her and running his hands over her sides.

His blue and hungry eyes looked down at her, noticing her straining nipples and grazing them lightly with his thumbs. He felt himself even harder, seeing her moaning and arching her back, as he snapped one of her breast in his mouth. He sucked hard, twirling his warm tongue around her erect nipple. Regina moaned again and grabbed his head firmly, pulling it to her chest. He ran his hands over her hips and slid them beneath her underwear.

"Fuck!" He groaned as he felt how wet she was for him.

He kept teasing her wet and warm clit with his fingers as he sucked her breasts even harder. She couldn't wait anymore, she wanted him desperately and she needed him now!

"Robin!" She groaned lowly in his ear and bended her torso to him, grabbing his face and making him look directly to her eyes.

"No hush, milady. I want to savor you properly." He smirked as his fingers kept working in her wet sex.

"Well… so savor me fast!" She commend to him, letting out a growl of frustration.

"Stop tease me, thief! Or else I…" She pointed her finger at him and he wanted to keep teasing her but he couldn't wait anymore; it had been a long time since he had felt her, he was desperate and hungry to feel her again.

"Robin…" She groaned but he lifted her hips a little, pushed her underwear aside and filled her completely with one rough movement.

They both moaned, enjoying the feeling of the encounter of their warm sexes.

"Oh…this is good! I missed you inside of me." She moaned and started to move slowly up and down around his shaft.

"And I you…" He said and gripped her hips firmly but let her set the pace, up and down.

His heart was fit to rush wide open and a lock arousal shot through him as he took her mouth in a passionate kiss, their lips never parting once.

She felt him tremble as she started to straddle him faster.

"Oh…." She moaned, biting her lips and pushing harder against him, supporting her elbows on his shoulders and nailing her nails on the warm skin of his back.

Regina threw her head back; her breathing became quicker and shallower. She was getting close, so close that she could come right now! Her lips parted in a groan when his thumb rubbed circles over her bundle of nerves and his fingertips teased her belly.

"I'm close!" She managed to whisper after a few moments, before latching onto his neck and sucking at the right spot just below his jaw.

"Not so fast, milady!" He groaned lowly in her ear.

"I want to taste your cum in my mouth!" He said and spun them around, leaving her beneath him.

"What the hell are you…" But before she could complain his head was between her thighs and his mouth inside her entrance.

Regina sucked her breath and grabbed his hair tight. He was sucking and licking her folders with his hot tongue as his thumb moved fast over her clit, keeping friction on it. His tongue kept working inside and off of her. He grabbed her arse, arched her up, bringing her even close to him. She gave a low cry when he sucked her clit more firmly, scrubbing his teeth softly against it.

She felt a build of heat growing inside her stomach and started to rock her hips to him. Her thighs began to shake, her back arched off the ground and she couldn't wait anymore.

"I miss your taste in my mouth, Regina." Robin whispered to her with his warm breath in her sex.

That was it.

Regina arched up even more as she was taken away hard by her climax.

Robin paused for one moment and stared at her twitching. She was still with eyes closed and breathing heavily. She was beautiful. Stunning in every way. Especially when she came undone like that for him.

She opened her eyes after a moment and met his gaze; a smile crossed their lips and she pulled his head to her. She cupped his cheeks and brown eyes met blue. Her mouth met his in a slow kiss and she hummed when she taste herself in her mouth.

"We seem like horny teenagers making out on the backyard!" She gave him a mischievous grin and he let laughter overtake him.

"Thankfully the boys are not here today." He whispered, their foreheads meeting and he couldn't resist but rock his still hard member against her.

"You're insatiable!" She joked.

"We have to make up for lost time!" He said with his gorgeous dimpled smile and guided his rigid member to her folds, filling her with one thrust, making them both moan.

He began to move slowly, sliding in and out of her gently. She wrapped her legs around his waist and thrust her hips to meet his, holding him by his shoulder.

"Faster!" She breathed and pushed her hips back into him.

He increased his pace and started to pound harder into her. He hooked one hand down her leg and brought it to his shoulder, driving himself deeper into her body and reaching her right spot.

Their bodies were on fire; they could hear the sounds of their skin meeting and feel a tiny layer of sweat started to form between them. Their groans and moans were echoing off on Regina's backyard as Robin kept thrusting even harder and deeper.

She ran her hands along his arms over his chest and into his hair, tightening her grip with each thrust and feeling herself being carried on another wave of desire.

Robin was gasping in pleasure watching her coming for him again, crying out his name as her orgasm took over her body. The burn inside his belly was building and swirling wildly; his balls were begging to release as her inner muscles clamped down on him. He let out an anguished groan and thrust deeply again and again, as the orgasm overtook him and he spilled his seed inside of her.

He slumped down his body on to her and she started to caress his hair softly; they stayed like that enjoying their moment.

He pulled out and laid down, bringing her with him and dragging the blanket up to their bodies. They laid on each other's arms, caressing, touching and breathing each other in, trying to calm down their heart beats.

"Wow! That was…" Robin was the first to break the silence.

Regina laughed, almost closing her eyes as the tiredness was taking her body.

"Yes, it was." She said and gave him a sweet kiss.

He ran a hand though her hair and pressed his lips to the top of her head, wrapping his arms around her tighter.

"I love you, my Queen!" He said with love in his eyes.

"I love you too, my Thief!" She laid her head on his chest and placed a hand over his heart. She closed her eyes as the sleep took over her, feeling his heart beating over the palm of her hand.

The morning was coming and Regina groaned in frustration as the first sun lights started to hit her eyes. She opened her eyes slowly and confused; her head was lying on Robin's chest and their legs were interlaced underneath the blanket. She lifted her head a little and smirked, as she noticed the smile on his face. Was he dreaming about her? She wanted to know. She lifted her head and looked at her surroundings, noticing their clothes were spread on the grass.

Wait! Grass?

Oh god! They had hungry sex on the backyard and slept there.

Slowly, she pulled away from his arms and reached for her clothes.

"Honey…" Regina widened her eyes and froze as she heard a well-known voice coming from behind her.

Regina closed her eyes and breathed deeply before turned around and face that person.

"Mother." She whispered with a trembling voice, her whole body was shaking and she tried to hide her nudity with the blanket.

"I missed you, darling." Cora said approaching her with slow steps.

"What are you doing here? You are dead!" She said, eyes full of concern and fear.

"Does it look like I am dead?" Cora smiled from the corner of her mouth and cupped Regina's face with her hands.

"But…" She breathed out but didn't seem convinced.

"I know…You thought Snow White had killed me."

"But she did…the candle…" Regina shook her head no, trying to convince herself that that was a hallucination. She felt her throat begin to constrict when she took in the sight of the woman standing right in front of her, cupping her face and immediately took a step back.

"How many times did you think I was dead, sweat heart?"

"Mother…what do you want?" She tried her best to snarl out her words but they ended up sounding more vulnerable than she had hoped.

"Help you. Isn't that obvious?" Cora said and tried to approach Regina again.

"No, mother…it is not!" She bit out sarcastically, forcing a smile to her face.

"You didn't learn the lesson, did you Regina?" She said in a reproachful tone.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Regina felt her blood boil as her mother hit too close to the mark.

"Love is weakness! How many times I have to say that to you, foolish girl?" Cora said, approaching Regina quickly, putting her hands on Regina's neck and tightening.

"No, it's not. You were wrong!" Regina tried to say that, fighting against her mother's grip. She knew her magic was different lately, she couldn't risk using it. She took a sign of Robin still lying down on the ground and was afraid to hurt him.

"Oh…it's him, isn't it? The man with the lion tattoo." Cora said as she followed Regina's line of vision.

"Leave him alone!" Regina said nervously as she saw her mother relaxing the grip of her neck and diverting her attention to him.

"This man will be your end, Regina. I was right when I didn't introduce him to you in the past!"

"You were mistaken, mother!" She reiterates angrily.

"Was I? Look at you now…pretending everything is fine but both of us know that is not!" Cora said, letting out a sarcastic smile.

"That's not of your concern!" Regina snapped angrily.

"Are your sure? I didn't raise my only daughter for this!" She pointed a finger to Regina challengingly, staring at her with a displeasure look.

"As I can remember, I am not your only daughter." She said, raising one eye brow, as she stared back at her mother.

"Right…Zelena!" Cora waved her hands on the air and nodded her head.

"She is making me proud, you know? Look at her: she is stronger, powerful and smarter than you. Maybe I had kept the wrong daughter!" She completed.

"Maybe you did." Regina said with a weak voice, screwing her eyes shut to keep the tears that she felt forming in the corners at bay.

"And do you know why she is the stronger one, darling?" Cora tried to caress Regina's face again but she spun around as if she had been burnt.

"Because she doesn't love!" Cora almost screamed these words on Regina's face.

Regina tightened her grip on the blanket and lowered her head but she couldn't let her mother do that to her, she couldn't sound weak and upset because of Cora's words.

"She is locked in on a mental institution. She lost; that's her end, mother!" Regina managed to say that even she was broken for inside.

"Are you trying to convince me or yourself? This is not the end; you know she'll find a way to get out of there soon or later." Cora replied in a defiant tone.

"I'm not seeing how she could do such a thing!" Regina tried to smile.

"That's your problem; love is blinding you." Cora said and before Regina could answer her, she continued:

"He is blinding you, mystifying your judgment." Cora pointed at Robin again, with more anger in her eyes.

"Are you done? You can go now! Thank you for your advices." Regina couldn't stand that anymore, she needed her mother gone but apparently that was not Cora's intentions.

"Do you think your lovely thief would leave his baby for you?" Cora mocked in her most regal voice.

"Of course he wouldn't leave the baby but we are on this together." She innocently answered.

"Honey, you're been ridiculous!" Cora smiled hard this time.

"Open your eyes, he had never chosen you." She completed, still smiling on Regina's face.

"Get out!" Regina barked back. She couldn't endure over this situation, she wanted her mother disappear from there.

"I'm sorry I'm upsetting you but you have to listen the truth, dear. You know this, don't you?" Cora changed the tone of her voice and tried to sound sweet this time.

"I said get out!" Regina said with tears and anger in her eyes.

"Sweet heart, as I said I'm here to help you." Cora said and stared at her daughter's eyes.

"As I can see, you're here to humiliate me!" Regina retorted sharply.

"I don't need your help, I'm fine!" She completed, trying to avoid her mother's eyes.

"You are not, Regina. You know you are not fine, you need my help!"

"Even if I needed help, you'd be the last person to help me!" Regina said ironically.

"Regina, you need your mother…trust me…I know you do!"

"Trust you? You have got to be kidding me!" Regina sarcastically scoffed.

"Mother, you destroyed me…you and Rumple made me the Evil Queen!" She inhaled deeply, wondering why she felt the need to explain herself.

"Don't put the blame on me, Regina!" Cora approached her again.

"Really? Get out!" Regina sharply turned her back to her mother.

"I know I was wrong, I admitted it but you caused a lot of suffer to yourself!" Cora caressed Regina's shoulders softly and made her turned around.

"It was you who drank that potion, dear! It was not my fault, I told you to not do that but …" Cora tried to speak to her daughter again but Regina was unwilling to hear.

"Stop it! I don't want to talk about that now!"

"I'm here to help you! Please, listen to me!" Cora was almost begging for Regina's attention.

"Help me? I think you already helped me enough!" Regina's eyes narrowed, glancing at her mother challengingly.

"You have to protect the girl, Regina." Cora said with concerned eyes.

"What girl?" The former queen asked but she had a feeling she wouldn't like to know the answer.

"The baby girl, my granddaughter." Cora admitted.

"It's a girl…" Regina whispered to herself and shook her head no, felling her throat begin to constrict and her knees getting weak but she couldn't show it to her mother.

"I had never done anything good for you and I regret that! Let me help you now." Cora tried to sound as sincere as she could.

"I really don't want to talk about that." Regina's heart was beating quickly, she couldn't control her emotions anymore and a single tear dropped from her eye.

"Why are you doing this, mother?" She questioned quietly.

"Because you have to know…" Cora took Regina's hands and continued:

"Don't let your sister hurt the baby, Regina. Trust me; she will try to hurt you and the baby!" She said, squeezing Regina's hands firmly.

"Go away, mother. I think you should talk to Zelena, not to me." She gulped and pulled her hands back to her body, bracing herself over the blanket and staring at the ground.

"You don't understand…" Cora shook her head and stared at her daughter.

"I do, mother. It seems I can't be entirely happy! You're here just to point to me the obvious! You won! Are you happy?" She lifted her head and bit out sarcastically.

"I'm not! That's why I'm here. I made a lot of mistakes with you but I'm not letting your sister hurts you or the girl."

"Let me talk to you and you'll understand!" Cora completed.

"No! It's torture!" Regina refused to listen whatever her mother was trying to say to her.

"Why? Because now you can't have children? Because now you sister is pregnant? Because now she's carrying a baby of your soulmate? But Regina…"

"STOP!" Regina yelled and whirled around, anger seeping through her.

"Honey, listen to me…" But before Cora could say any other word, Regina harshly cut her.

"Get away from here….NOW!" Regina yelled and closed her eyes shut, felling a burning and new sensation taking over her body.

She tried to open her eyes but the wave of lighting surrounding her body was too strong and hurt her pupils. She knew her magic was unlike lately but she had never felt anything so strong like that before, especially because she didn't have the intention of using magic right now. A sense of panic invaded her; she tried to control it but she had no idea of how she was supposed to do that. She could sense it was a different kind of magic, a stronger one, stronger than light magic and it was completely unknown to her. She tried to control her breathe and fell down to her knees, she had to stop whatever she was doing; Robin was still sleeping on the ground, she could hurt him, she could hurt herself.

After a few seconds, she could open her eyes and turned her attention to him who was still sleeping peacefully. She took a deep breath and mentally thanked he was fine and she hadn't hurt him with her magical collapse or whatever it had been that. Unconsciously, she turned her head around and the picture she saw made her heart stop: someone was laid down on the ground and she could hear weak moans and could see a line of blood streaming down the woman's face.

Mother!

Regina gasped at the realization; she had hurt her own mother. There was a time she couldn't care about that but right now she was a different person, she was not the Evil Queen anymore, it was not her intention to hurt Cora. She knew her mother never really cared about her. Her mother just thought about what it was the best for herself. Never stop to think, not even for a second, about how Regina felt. But seeing her mother dying, again, in front of her, made her remember the last time this same thing happened. It made her remember that no matter what, she was her mother. Deep down, even if she didn't want to, she would always care about her, simply because she was her mother. She ran as fast as she could towards her mother and kneeled at her side, taking her head and lying it on her lap.

"Mother, I'm so sorry…" She said with a trembling voice and tears running down her cheeks. She caressed her mother's face and tried to wipe away the blood with her thumbs but it was too much blood on her forehead; Regina was desperate, she didn't know what to do.

"You have to find Merlin. Don't let your sister get to him first!" Cora gave a sad smile and tried to reach her daughter's face.

"Merlin? What does Merlin have to do with that?" Regina was confused; maybe her mother wasn't speaking coherent words anymore.

"He's powerful…he can make anyone powerful too." She strove to say those words between gasps for air.

"If your sister…don't let your sister have control on him…" Cora used her last breaths to warn her daughter and tried to continue:

"If she had, nobody could stop her…only the girl!" Said that, Cora closed her eyes and Regina felt her mother's body relaxing against hers.

"Protect the girl, Regina!" It was the last thing Cora was able to say before her last breathe left her body.

"Mother?" Regina shook her mother desperately. She couldn't believe her mother was dead and it was her fault.

"MOTHER!" She yelled, panic in her voice, tears in her eyes.

"MOTHER!"

"Regina, wake up…wake up! Shhhhh…."

She opened her eyes and met his blue orbs staring down at her, his hands caressing her cheeks softly, her head lying on his lap and she noticed a worried look crossing his face.

"What happened?" She asked and tried to sit down, rubbing a hand on her forehead, still dizzy and confused.

"I think you had a bad dream…with your mother!" He helped her to sit down and put the blanket over her shoulders, pulling her head gently on his shoulder and caressing her hair.

"What was it?"

"Nothing…just…a dream. I'm fine." She lied because for her it had been more than a dream. She could still feel the sensation of magic taking her over and her mother dying on her lap. But she didn't want to talk about that; he was right, it had been just a dream, a bad dream.

"Are you alright?" He asked with concerned eyes.

"Yes, don't worry." She breathed out, trying to convince him.

"We slept on the floor and apparently naked as well"! Regina glanced up, her eyes locking onto Robin who was staring at her carefully. She forced a smile to her face as she tried to change the subject.

"Hmm! Are you complaining, milady? As I can remember, you ripped my shirt off!" Robin knew she had been really affected by that dream but didn't want to upset her or push that subject further. The best thing to do now was letting that go.

"David's shirt!" She corrected him and lifted her face up, pointing her finger to him.

"And as I can remember as well you did the same thing with my dress first." She completed and tilted up an eyebrow.

He rolled them down and stayed on top of her, kissing her passionately.

"Good morning, beautiful." He said, playing with her hair.

"Good morning." She answered with that smile that only her was able to give him.

"I think is still early in the morning. What do you think about us repeating last night?" He started to plant kisses in her jaw and her collarbone.

"You're insatiable, aren't you?" She brought his mouth to hers and started to tease him, biting and licking his lower lip.

"Oh, is that true? Apparently I'm not the only one!" He couldn't resist but bit her lip a little, making her smile again.

Suddenly, between their kisses, they heard a ring.

"Oh no…let that thing ring, Regina!" He complained.

"As much as I want to continue this, I have to answer it. Maybe it's about the people who appeared here yesterday. I'm still the mayor, remember?"

"Shit!" He frowned and made a spoiler child's face, lying down on the ground and rubbing his hands over his face.

"Regina Mills." She answered her phone.

He was hearing the conversation and saw Regina's face becoming pale. She sat down again and he noticed the change of her expression. She didn't say too much over the phone but he could sense that something was really wrong.

"What?" He asked her as she hung up the phone.

She was with her naked back to him and stayed quiet for a moment, not even saying a word or turning around to face him.

"Regina, love…is there something wrong? What is it?" After a moment he asked her again really worried.

Regina took a deep breath and with a sad tone and not even turning around to face him, she said:

"It's Zelena!"

So… Zelena's baby is a girl?

Please, don't kill me (despite that I think they'd do that in OUAT) before you know exactly what I'm doing. Sometimes, things are not exactly what they appear to be!

Wait and see it!

See you!
