Hi, girls?

Did you miss me? I hope so!

I'm not going to apologize for the lack of updates because this is inexcusable. I could point a lot of reasons: I'm working too hard, my notebook was down for a long time and I didn't have money to fix it (hehehehe, it's true!) , the lack of inspiration….anyway any excuse wouldn't be enough so I'm just saying I'm sorry and I hope you understand.

I don't know if you'll enjoy this chapter because something really bad is about to happen. But trust me, it's necessary. I want to show that Robin loves Regina and prove his love above anything (and he will), despite the circumstances.

The original chapter had over 20k words so I decided to split in two. So, this chapter is shorter but the next one is already with my beta and has almost 17k of words and I'll update really soon (this time I promise you).

So, enjoy as much as you can and don't judge the story before you know the whole plot I have planned since the beginning.

Love you all and appreciate your patience. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much, Gabi. 3

And thank you "Iludidas OQ forever." I love you, girls. (;

P.S.: I'm not giving up on this story, no matter what! OQ deserves to talk, deserves screen time, development, pov… Despite I'm not watching anymore since epi 4x23, I saw spoilers and OQ fandom getting upset day by day. OQ deserves better and I want to do it, at least this story will be what I wanted to see on the show.

Previously on Fight For Me…

"Emma!" Robin screamed at the blonde, who was already on her cell phone.

"There's blood!" Robin managed to say this between the tears that kept running down his eyes and wetting Regina's face.

The last thing Regina could register was the image of the man in panic, the man she loved, the father of her daughter, before everything went dark.

CHAPTER 9

"How is she?" Snow asked as she entered the hospital's waiting room, followed by David and Henry.

"We don't know yet." Emma answered, concern showing in her voice.

"Mom?" Henry approached her, looking directly at Emma's eyes, as he was trying to figure out if she was aware of the truth.

"We have to wait, Henry." Emma hugged him and whispered these words in his ear. If Regina had told someone about the baby, Emma was sure it had been Henry and judging by the worried look on his face, he knew it.

"I'm sure your sister is going to be fine." She answered his silent question in a low tone, and he nodded his head, still hugging her.

"She is going be to alright, man." David sat by Robin's side, who was staring at nowhere, with his face almost completely hidden between his hands, as his elbows rested against his knees.

"There was blood." He almost whispered these words, but didn't even look at his friend; his eyes still remaining focused on the floor.

"She's strong. She'll make it." He gave a little pat on Robin's shoulder, as a sign of comfort.

Dr. Whale was still checking on Regina and they didn't know the gravity of her injuries. The tension between them was evident, as they remained in silence, waiting for good news, at preference.

"Is Regina here?" Belle entered the waiting room, breathless, breaking their silent thoughts.

Emma nodded and Belle started a private conversation with her.

"Rumpel was desperate and asked me to find Regina. He wants to talk to her." She said in low tone to Emma.

"When I went after her, I heard what happened on the street. Apparently, something important is going on but he refuses to talk to me." Belle alleged, with a concern look.

"Regina is not in condition right now, Belle." Emma said.

"What's wrong with her?" Belle questioned.

"We don't know yet." Emma answered, rubbing Henry's backs.

"I understand… but I know Rumpel, I know when he is serious and I can tell you that I had never seen him like that before." The beauty confessed.

"I'm going to talk to him." Emma decided.

"He said specifically Regina." Belle warned her, remembering her husband's words.

"Well, he will have to be satisfied with me!" Emma replied, kissed Henry's forehead and told her parents she was going to talk to Rumpel. Deep down, she knew something very wrong was happening and no one better than the Imp to answer her questions.

"Are you alright?" Emma hurried as she saw the man's condition and approached his bed carefully. That was definitely not the invincible, fearless and powerful Rumpelstiltskin she knew.

"Not very much well, as you can see." The imp accommodated himself on a sitting position, looking up and catching her pitiful stare at him but he had an idea about how he was different right now.

"Is there anything I can do?" She offered.

"I believe there's not, Miss Swan." He said and she could see sadness showing on his face for the first time.

"I believe while the darkness is still surrounding here and there's not a new Dark One, my condition will remain the same." He clarified.

"Do you know what happened?" She asked, approaching his bed.

"I don't know exactly but I could hear the screaming and I could sense the darkness."

"Do you still feel it?" Her brows knitted together as she asked.

"I had lived with darkness inside of me for a long time, Miss Swan." He said and she nodded in understanding.

"Belle said you wanted to talk to Regina."

"I still do." He replied.

"You can tell me." She suggested.

"I rather talk to her in person." He croaked out.

"That's not possible…" She said, shaking her head no.

"She's in the hospital." Her voice dripping with anxiety.

"What?" He asked, frowning his brows.

"The darkness almost caught her."

"Almost?" Rumpel's eyes narrowed.

"Yes." She responded, bringing suspicion to the man's mind.

"How did she escape?" He was curious because he knew the rules about the darkness, he had lived by them for a long time.

"Did someone else take her place?" He asked, a small bit of distrust showing in his voice.

"No, she did that by herself." Emma lied, trying to not sound suspicious.

"It's not how it works." He pointed it out, nodding his head in negative.

"She must have had help of someone really powerful." He affirmed.

"She managed it."

"I don't have magic anymore but judging by your reaction, I guess you know who helped her." Right now he knew there was definitely something the savior wasn't telling him.

"Who does have this strong magic in Storybrooke?" He insisted and Emma felt her muscles tensing up.

"It doesn't matter, she made it." She said in a firm tone, with no desire to discuss a topic that it was not her place to tell, it was Regina's privacy and she'd respect that.

"What did you want to talk to her?" She asked quickly, avoiding his answer and trying to change the subject.

Rumpel went silent for a moment, only glancing at her.

"Listen, if there's something you're hiding, it's better if you tell me right now. Especially if it can put the town in danger." Emma advised him.

"Zelena can use magic!" He blurted quick.

"What? How?" Emma almost screamed her questions.

"I helped her." He admitted.

"You did what?" She widened her eyes and shook her head incredulously.

"Are you crazy?" Her tone was stiff, showing her indignation. She couldn't believe the imp had helped the witch, she thought he had changed, but apparently, she was wrong.

"She threatened me by using Belle's heart." He explained, noticing the distrust and disappointment on her face.

"And you, as a sheriff, should have kept an eye on her."

"I knew she was too quiet…" She said for herself, looking down at the floor and wondering the consequences of Zelena having magic again, especially because of Regina's condition.

"Does she have anything to do with what just happened?" The blonde asked, an implied concern etched in her voice.

"I believe so, she has Merlin's wand and my dagger."

"Shit!" Emma exclaimed and swallowed hard this time. How could she have been so stupid and didn't suspected that Zelena was up to something - and something bad, by the way? She felt guilty and angry at the same time.

"She's trying to become the new Dark One." Rumpel finally told Zelena's plans.

"Oh my God!" Emma whispered, one hand coming to her mouth.

"You have to stop her before it's too late." He warned.

"We have to find Merlin, maybe he can help…" Emma started to make plans in her head: she had to find Merlin, maybe he could stop the craziness that Zelena was planning to do.

"She has him too." Rumpel cut her words and her hopes.

"Shit!" She cursed again, shutting her eyes close.

"She'll use him to conjure the darkness and to put her name on the dagger."

"Maybe today she failed but I'm sure she won't give up so easily…" Rumple was saying and remembering she was trying to become powerful since a long time ago.

For a time, Emma stood quietly listening and thinking until she finally broke the silence.

"What if she succeeds?" She asked and continued.

"You must know something able to stop the Dark One!" Whatever Rumpel had done in the past, the most of that he had done by the influence of the darkness. Still, she didn't trust him entirely, but right now, he was the one that owned the knowledge required to stop Zelena's agenda.

"I advise you to stop her first." It was his initial advice.

"Regina was the only one able to provide something to stop her, but if Zelena is right, Regina can't do that anymore."

"What do you mean? How possibly Regina could do that?" Emma argued, really curious about his answer.

"A baby." He answered reluctantly and then they eyed each other.

"Excuse me?" She asked, narrowing her eyes and intrigued by the suggestion.

"The only thing able to stop the Dark One is a product of soulmates." He answered and she quickly darted her eyes away.

"Emma?" He called, seeing her expression changing into a worried and pinched one.

"Does Zelena know about that?" She asked after she shook her head, trying to focus again.

"What do you think?" He insinuated and the pinched look was back around her eyes.

"If Zelena know I told you that, she'll kill Belle." He shivered and rubbed his hands together as he wondered the pain Zelena could inflict in his love.

"I'm going to protect her." Emma promised with sincerity.

"Stop Zelena before it's too late." He said, fear in his eyes.

"She'd come after Regina first but who knows what else she has in mind if she became the Dark One?"

"What if she became the Dark One? She is pregnant…"

"I warned her, while she's pregnant, hardly the darkness would come for her. Unless, of course, the darkness feels her or her baby as a threat, but it's not the case. Summing up, she can lose the baby."

"However, she has everything to conjure the darkness and I'm sure she'll succeed. She had always been persistent and I think she doesn't care about what'll happen to the baby. She wants power."

Hearing the answer, Emma shifted uneasily in front of Rumpel, not having a clue about how they were supposed to defeat Zelena. She knew about Regina's baby, but it was still an unborn baby.

How could a baby defeat the Dark One? Despite that, she didn't know about Regina's conditions right now. Was the baby fine? She really hoped so.

She only nodded to Rumpel, with her mind full of bad scenarios, backed out of the room and closed the door as she left.

"Did Rumpelstiltskin tell you what he wanted?" David approached Emma as she entered the hospital.

"Zelena can use magic." She breathed the words out.

"How?" This time was Snow questioning her, getting up from the chair.

"She threatened Rumpel and…." She made a brief pause and took a deep breath.

"She's trying to become the new Dark One!" She stated.

"Can she do that?" Snow's concern was evident.

"Yes. She has the dagger, Merlin and his wand!"

"Oh my God!" Snow exclaimed, widening her eyes in panic and letting her hands to her mouth.

"How's Regina?" Emma had to know if she was fine and especially her baby. However, she couldn't ask about it to her parents.

"Dr. Whale told us she's fine, still sleeping, but fine. She just has to stay under medical observation for this night. Robin is with her." David said, approaching his wife and hugging her as he noticed the tension about the situation.

"Where's Henry?" She asked, turning around and taking a look around the waiting room.

"Hey, mom." The boy greeted her, as he entered the room and Emma approached him.

"Is she really alright?" She asked in a whisper, her brows knitted together.

"They are…" Henry responded with reassured eyes and a little smile on his face.

"Good." She said, hugging him in relieve.

"Let's rest." She patted his shoulder.

"I want to stay with her." Henry was really concerned about his mother and his sister. He had to see with his own eyes if she was fine, he wanted to be there by her side when she woke up to reassure her.

"Henry, Robin is with her and I need you." Emma tried to convince him. She understood his worries but they had to find a way to stop Zelena as soon as possible. And Henry was smart, he was the one who figured out about the first curse and found a way to break it.

"There's something big going on and we have to create a plan as soon as possible."

"But…" He started to complain but she cut him off.

"You're good at these things, kid." She squeezed his shoulders, looking at his eyes and trying to show him the seriousness of the situation. She needed his help.

"Regina is fine for now and we have to assure that she and your sister remained that way." Saying that, she noticed his face expression changing into a more worried one, if that was even possible.

"Alright." He finally gave up.

"What's going on?" He asked, as they walked toward the hospital's door.

"Come on, I'm telling you on the way home."

"Dad, mom." Emma called her parents.

"We have to go home and start to think about our next move. I know Regina is the one good at these things but right now we don't have her. Henry is helping us."

They nodded, following Emma and wondering about the best way to stop the witch.

The first image she saw when she woke up was the blinding white of the hospital walls.

She blinked slowly, trying to compose herself and got the stinging out of her eyes before opening them fully and looking around.

"Regina?" Robin said happily, moving from where he stood in front of the window, pulled a chair to her bedside and reached for her hand. He could see her scrunching her eyebrows and fluttering her eyelids.

He let out a trembling breath in relief, grateful to see her eyes open, to see her chest rise and fall showing her breathing.

"Robin…" She whispered, barely able to speak and tried to sit on the bed.

"Try to save your strength, milady." Robin said with a small and reassuring smile on his face, holding her shoulders gently, making her lie on the bed again.

She rested her head back on the pillow with a deep sigh. Her whole body was aching, her head was spinning and she was trying to put the confused thoughts together in her mind. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath and trying to remember what had happened.

The darkness.

It was the first thing her mind could process at the time. But then she started to remember…

She remembered the screaming, the darkness attacking and dragging her through the air. She remembered the blue blast of magic that started to emerge from her whole body. She remembered Robin putting her head on his lap and touching every inch of her body, searching for any injury and then…

There's blood!

Robin's voice was the last sentence she could hear that day. The urge to cry and let desperation took over her was tremendous, as she remembered the fear she felt before everything went black.

She remembered the pain, not only physically but mainly the pang in her heart at that moment because of the thought of losing her child.

Did she lose her daughter?

The panic seeped back into her. Her mind was in full speed with all sorts of scenarios going through it. Her heart was about to jump from her chest. With widened eyes, she sat up suddenly on the bed again and let protective hands over her stomach, trying to feel a glimpse of life there.

Nothing.

She didn't feel anything and if she thought she had passed through pain in her life, she was wrong… that was the most terrible pain she ever felt.

She led her hands to her face, trying to control her sobs but it was inevitable. Her vision was blurred and her mouth was dry. She wanted to scream, run away for nowhere, but she couldn't move any muscle of her body.

She was in shock.

Immediately, Robin took her hands in his, desperate to tell her everything was alright but he felt that was something more. Her hands were cold and her facial expression was unread. She was staring at nothing, not even blinking her eyes at the moment. The woman he knew had never felt so scared like that before, he knew something was wrong, really wrong.

"Regina, please."

He tried to comfort her with nice words, but apparently, nothing could take her back to reality. He turned his head to the monitor and watched her heat beat quicken faster and her hands went even colder.

In her trance, the only thing that her mind could process was the burden of losing her child. She deserved that, she had been the great Evil Queen for so long, she had taken a lot of lives without a reason, and now, the destiny was charging its costs.

But why an innocent child? Why her child?

She deserved pain, but not her daughter. She couldn't bear the pain of inflicting harm on her own baby.

No! No! No!

She kept screaming internally, in a battle against herself, but her voice couldn't reach any ears. Despite her condition, she was aware of her body's reactions and the panic attack she was having right now.

"Doctor Whale! Doctor Whale!" Robin screamed stronger than he could, as he heard the beeps of the monitor getting stronger, and ran towards the door's room. His screams echoed to the corridors and when he saw a few nurses coming to his direction, he pleaded to them for calling the doctor immediately.

"Calm down, my love. The doctor is coming." He sat on the bed by her side again and tried to assure her, putting his hands above hers and squeezing them.

For the first time, she lifted her head and looked directly at his eyes, staring at them.

Robin, I lost our child…

Her mind said that but not her mouth. Seeing him, with desperate eyes staring at her, made her start to come to reality.

She had been weak and coward for not telling him the truth, and right now, it was too late. She was thinking about how she was supposed to tell him about their baby and she hadn't figure out a way. How, right now, she was supposed to tell him she was pregnant, carrying his child, but she had lost it?

No! No! No!

She couldn't admit that. She had even imagined her daughter's face: her eyes, her dimples and the raven hair swinging at her shoulders while she was running on the backyard's mansion to hug his father after a long day at work. She had dreamed about her daughter a few times, she was sure her child was meant to be. She shook her head in an attempt to expulse the bad scenarios away from her mind, but it seemed impossible. She'd never see the face of her precious little baby even once, she'd never fed her, never rock her in her arms, she'd never…

"NO!" It was the first thing she managed to say after she had woken up from her trance. She took her hands away from Robin's and tried to get out of the bed, taking the sheets with her.

"Regina…" Robin tried to control her movements, but she fought hard, avoiding his grip.

"Please, calm down!" It was his last attempted to control her before Dr. Whale entered the room.

"Calm down, Madam Mayor." Victor went directly to her and forced her body back to bed gently.

"Everything is fine, I assure you." The doctor squeezed her shoulders and she laid down on the bed again, with widen eyes and her whole body shaking.

"Everything?" She was able to ask, praying for him to understand what she was implying.

"You…" He said, looking at her eyes and then to her stomach.

"You are fine. Don't worry." He nodded his head and she could see a little smile appearing from his mouth.

"Trust me." The doctor noticed her doubts and fears and approached her even more, giving a firm grip on her shoulder. He didn't know if she had told him about her pregnancy, but he decided, just in case, to not speak about that out loud, unless she touched in that subject in front of the others.

"No one got hurt." He completed, looking at her eyes and trying to assure her once again. As soon as Regina saw Victor's look, she knew everything was fine with her and, especially, with her daughter.

Listening that, she really rested her head on the pillow for the first time since she was awake and breathed deeply. Her little girl was fine, she was still there, fighting for her life and Regina couldn't be more grateful for that. All the bad thoughts left her mind in an instant and now, she started to cry, but they were tears of happiness.

"Why did she bleed?" After a time and noticing the circumstances, a strong British accent invaded the room.

Regina widened her eyes. Robin was still there, sitting on the bed, with a wary expression, and probably, really confused about the whole situation. However, she couldn't say the truth for him right now because of her emotions and the adrenaline that were still running through her body. She had to set her emotions first and then, talk to him.

She turned her head and saw Victor still staring at her, waiting for any signal. Noticing the panic showing on her face, he decided to clarify her condition as long as he could, without touching in the real cause. But how could he do that anyway?

"The bleeding was normal. It happens to the most women in her condition." Victor said, but regret on his words immediately as he saw the archer's face.

"What condition? Is she sick?" Robin widened his eyes, looking directly at the doctor and waiting for a reasonable explanation.

"Robin…" Regina intervened and squeezed his hands.

"Can you please, take some water for me?" She requested, with begging eyes.

"Of course." Despite his suspicions, he squeezed her hands back and stood up, walking towards the table on the corner of the room to put some water in a glass.

"Are you sure the baby is fine?" Regina whispered to the doctor.

"Completely healthy and stronger than ever." Doctor Whale nodded his head.

"Can you please give us a moment?" She asked, signalizing towards Robin, who was managing to provide some water for her.

"Of course, take your time and don't stress yourself like that anymore. It's not good for you and you know…." The doctor followed her stare and understood the situation.

"You have to start your prenatal." Dr. Whale advised her.

"I know and I will." She confirmed to him because she'd do everything possible to take care of her brave girl properly.

"Good. You need some rest and good feed. Try to not use your magic because we don't know what that could cause on it." He said and pointed at her stomach.

"Tomorrow morning I'll prescribe the advices for you and the baby." He completed in a low tone, especially the word baby.

"Of course. Thank you." She nodded and he left the room, leaving a thoughtful Regina behind him.

It's now or never, Regina! Tell him!

"Robin, I want to tell you something for a long time but…" She started to speak and he turned his attention to her, with the glass on his hand.

"Regina!" Suddenly, a panic voice, belonged to a scared man, invaded the room before she could say anything else.

"Are you alright?" Arthur sat on the bed and squeezed her hands tightly.

"I failed on you." He apologized.

"I promised to protect you but I left you because of my sword!" The king regretted.

"Please, forgive me!" He completed.

"Arthur…" Regina looked at him with begging eyes, praying for him not to mention her pregnancy, but she didn't know how she was supposed to say that with Robin inside the room.

"Are you alright?" Arthur noticed her hesitation but he was so focused on her that he didn't notice the archer standing still on the corner of the room, staring at them carefully.

"Yes…" She sighed deeply and closed her eyes, already knowing his next question.

Please! Don't mention the baby… please!

"Is the baby alright?"

That was it. She knew what was coming next but hearing his words out loud, brought a chill to her spine.

It wasn't his fault, but at the same time, she couldn't stop blaming Arthur for bringing out the delicate subject; the one she was trying to explain to Robin herself. She wanted to tell him in private, only her, because no one else had that right but her.

However, she saw the king's worry, the sorry in his eyes for not protecting her as he had promised, and more important: she was sure if Arthur was aware of Robin's presence in the room, he would never have done that on purpose.

"The baby?" Robin's voice was emphatic.

Recollecting all strength that remained in herself, she lifted her head and got the courage to look at Robin. What she saw in his eyes, made her gasp. He hated her, she was sure about that. She had seen him angry before, but now was different: he was regretting of once meting her, he was even disgusted of her. That was not the reaction she was expecting from him. He was meant to be a father. She thought he'd like the idea, she thought he'd enjoy having a baby with her, but his face expression was implying another story.

Maybe she was wrong, maybe he was thinking about her past, about her dark days.

After all, what man would like to have a baby with the great and heartless Evil Queen?

But she thought he was different. She thought he loved her. He was her soulmate and he was supposed to understand and forgive her past. She was different now, she was trying to prove that for a long time and he knew it.

But why was he so confused and upset right now?

Right, he knew she couldn't conceive a baby, she cursed herself and her pregnancy have been a shock for her too. So, maybe she'd only have to give him some time to process the news.

But…he was off. Why?

She'd tell him about their baby and after one second everything got torn and confused.

Oh no! Maybe he was thinking the baby was not…

"Robin…" She succeeded to say his name under her breath as she comprehended the wrong thoughts that were surrounding his mind at the moment. However, judging the look she saw on his face, he wouldn't listen any explanation.

The whole situation was a mess, now she could see it. She was afraid of him never forgiving her for not telling him the truth before, but right now, she was certain he was thinking the baby was not his, but Arthur's.

"What baby, Regina?" Robin approached the bed in slow steps, staring at her and frowning.

"You're here…" Arthur closed his eyes and then looked at the panic woman in front of him. He muttered I'm sorry for her but he knew his apologies wouldn't be enough to fix the situation he had caused.

"Of course I am here!" Robin shouted, snorting all his rage through his breath. He wanted to kill the king. He'd kill him if it wasn't for Regina, and if that man wasn't the father of her baby.

The father of her baby.

Arthur was the father of Regina's baby!

Robin couldn't believe it. She shook his head, in an attempt to expulse his demons or wake up from this nightmare but when he opened his eyes again, there they were: a soon to be family. The woman of his life, the one that had told him she wasn't able to create a life, was with child. She was pregnant, and it was not by him.

"What baby, Regina?" He swallowed hard the words because even knowing the answer, he needed a confirmation.

"I…I'm…" Closing her eyes, a lonely tear was dropped from Regina's face.

She had wondered about many scenarios and ways to tell him about their miracle, but she had never imagined a sad one between them. Perhaps a complicated and messy scenario, but not that. That's why she was waiting, looking forward the right moment. Maybe she shouldn't have waited for so long…

"You are pregnant!" Robin completed the words she wasn't able to speak.

"Now I understand why you were so scared…" He continued to express his wrong thoughts out loud, while she could only remain her eyes shut, giving up on fighting against her tears.

"You were not scared about you, but your baby…" The noise of the glass falling from his hands and reaching the room's floor, shattering its pieces on it, brought her to the reality.

"Robin…please…listen to me!" Her whole body was shaking, her hands were trembling and her throat was dry, but she tried to explain, she needed to explain the situation for him.

"We were about to talk about something important." She tried to leave the bed and reach him but her body deceived her, she was still too weak and dizzy. The consequences of her daughter (their daughter) magic was still preventing her from being the strong woman she was, that she had to be, but right now, she couldn't.

"I understand..." Robin was furious, but determined, trying to be as colder as he could.

"No, you don't!" Regina voice's between her sobs was louder and supplicant.

"I do." He nodded his head in affirmation, giving a little scoff at her.

"Congratulations, to both of you." He gruffly said, starting to turn around and leave that damn room as fast as his legs could. He had to leave there because the room felt so small and it was too hard for him to even breathe.

"Robin…please, listen to me!" Tears gathered in her eyes and ran down her cheeks. Her heart was hammering in her chest.

She didn't know what to do. He was so resolute about his own conclusions and she had no idea about how she could explain everything to him. He had seen Arthur sleeping over her house once and she understood why he was misreading the actual situation. She sensed that she couldn't convince him right now and putting the things properly on the table.

For God sakes! She and Arthur hadn't even shared a kiss. How, on earth, she would supposed to be waiting a baby of him?

"I'm happy that you and your baby are fine…" Robin stopped, scoffing and looking over his shoulders.

"I really am." He finally huffed.

"No, please…" Regina tried to stand up again but her body wasn't ready, she had to laid down and rest on the bed again.

"Man, I think you should listen to her…" Noticing Regina's condition, Arthur tried to intervene. He stood up from the bed and tried to clear the situation, he owned that for Regina, because after all, he was guilty and everything that was happening right now was because of him. He didn't want to put her in this position: he knew she loved Robin and she was waiting a baby of the archer, not his. He was Regina's friend, he promised to protect her and her baby, but he never wanted to hurt her badly the way he was doing right now.

"Shut up!" Robin furiously replied, stepping forward and putting a hand in front of him.

"I already said my congratulations…" The compulsion to cry, scream and let the desperation take over him was tremendous. But, Robin signed, clenched his jaw a little whilst looking at her in the eyes. He really had to hold himself back, and somehow, he was able to restrain himself as he shouted again:

"It was not that enough?"

"Now, I don't have anything to do with it." He dismissed with his hand and started to make his way to the exit again.

"Be fine, Regina… and take care of your child." He said his last words before he left the room.

"Robin!" She yelled as much as her lungs could bear. But it was too late: he was already gone and maybe gone forever.

When Regina heard the doors slamming strong with a bang, she gulped hard but couldn't control her tears again. So she let them fall willingly.

"I'm so so sorry…I didn't know he was here." Arthur tried to apologize but he knew it was useless….he had screwed everything.

"I know…" She truly knew it wasn't his intentions but maybe, he had made her lose the man of her life and the father of her child forever.

"She's fine, alive and healthy. That's the only thing that matters to me right now." She lied to him, rubbing her hands over her stomach but not even looking at the king in the eyes, she just couldn't stare at him right now.

Feeling her daughter's response for the first time after her shock, she smiled. Her baby was still there, and somehow, was trying to communicate with her, trying to assure her she was fine and alive. And then, Regina thought that maybe now she'd have to focus her attention and energies on her miracle and try to forget about her feelings and frustrations. Because not matter what, her daughter was the most important thing at the moment, she deserved to be well cared for, no matter what Regina's heart was screaming right now.

Soooo…don't hate me, please!

If Robin knows right now he's the father of the baby, his choice and actions will be committed on the next chapters. And I want him saving Regina only beucase of herself.

Wait for the next chapter and see Robin proving his love for Regina despite the shock. I promise that everything I'm doing is for making him the hero of this story. Why? Well, I'm trying to do what Robin Hood and OutlawQueen deserve, since we don't have that on the show.

Just….trust me. I know what I'm doing.

See you soon and this time I promise it.

Big kiss! Xoxo.
