Did you miss me?

It's been a long time since the last update. A lot of things happened and I almost gave up on writing this story. But, I promised I'd give an end to this and I will, trust me. But be pacient, please. hehehehehe

Anyway, I really enjoyed to write this chapter. I hope you like it too.

Chapter 10

A week had passed since the incident in the main street with Regina. The citizens were in high alert, and every suspicious wind or change in the skies, were cause for worry. It was like they were waiting for the inevitable, and maybe they were.

Emma, Hook, David and Robin had tried, without luck, to find Zelena and stop whatever she was planning to do for becoming the Dark One. She had failed in the last attempt, but they were sure she hadn't given up and she was trying to find another way.

Robin was confused and lost, to say the less. His friends were haunting the wicked witch, but for him, they were after the mother of his child. He hated her because of everything she had done to him, but he couldn't stop to care about her welfare, after all, she was caring his baby. Only the thought about the innocent life made his heart tight.

What future would have the baby?

Was the baby healthy and well?

He had no idea but he was determined to find Zelena and, at least, try to talk to her and put any sense in her mind. However, he was almost sure she'd never listen to him.

"Where the hell is she hiding herself?" Emma snorted testily, dragging Robin away from his deep thoughts.

"It's been a week and I can't believe we didn't find her!" She muttered anxiously.

"Calm down, Emma. We'll find her." David tried to assure her.

"We're running against the clock, dad." She was discouraged because she was aware they had to find Zelena before it was too late. Once she became the Dark One, no one could stop her… well, not any born person would be able to stop her. She knew if they didn't act fast, maybe this unborn soul wouldn't have a chance to see the light of life.

"How's Regina?" Robin got the courage and asked to Emma.

"Why don't you ask that yourself?" She answered, a bit of bitterness showing in her voice.

"Emma…" Hook approached her and put a hand on her forearm, in a sign for her to contain her reprimands.

"You have no idea how that is." Robin shook his head, chuckling sadly.

"I think I do." Emma barked back.

"Listen, maybe it's not my place to tell you that, but I'll tell you anyway." Emma was saying but Hook interrupted her again.

"Emma, please." Her boyfriend adverted.

"No!" Emma shot a furious look at him and threw her arms away from his touch.

"It's seems Robin needs somebody telling him all the time what he is supposed to do and the right thing he has to do. This time, I will!" Emma was decided to tell some truths, since Robin only worked when somebody else advertise him about the real situation.

"Let her talk, mate." Robin put a hand in front of him, signalizing for Hook to let his girlfriend to tell everything she wanted to say.

"Good." Emma stated.

"I know it's hard for you but it's hard for Regina too." Emma approached Robin, staring at him in the eyes.

"Maybe if you had talked to her, you'd understand the whole situation." She pointed that out, since she knew he was avoiding talk to Regina since the hospital's incident.

"Do you think she was amused when we went to New York, to rescue you…" She pointed at his chest.

"At that time she thought you were in danger and she risked everything for you." The savior said.

"And when we were there, she find out you got pregnant her own sister!" Emma was spitting the whole truth on his face.

"I know it wasn't easy for her." Robin seemed taken aback by the statement, his eyes opened wide and the tone of his voice became louder as he tried to defend himself.

"And it's not easy for me seeing the woman that I love carrying another man's baby!" He blurted, and talked about that subject – the one he was trying to avoid since that day in the hospital.

"Listen, as you said, you love her and you should listen to her, you should talk to her." Emma tried to put some reason in Robin's head again.

"I don't think I can…" Robin tensed and took a deep breath, before shrugging.

"Well, in this case, you'll lose her." It wasn't her place for telling him the truth but that didn't mean she couldn't try to warn him about the mistake he was doing.

"I already did." He almost whispered, admitting his defeat.

"If you're saying…" She responded, folding her hands in front of her and staring at him, as the other did the same, in an awkward silence. Of course she felt sorry and guilty for him and for this whole situation, which by the way, she had caused in the first place, by bringing his dead "wife" from the past.

"Come on, Killian." She finally broke the silence because right now there wasn't anything she could say to Robin anymore. No matter how badly she wanted to fix this mess, she had to get away from there before she'd say something that she could regret later.

"I think we should cover the other side of the forest." She motioned towards a trail in the middle of the forest, on their left side.

"Of course." Hook agreed and started to follow her, leaving Robin and David alone at their previous path.

"I'm so sorry for Emma." David said, as Robin and he started to walk again.

"Don't be. She's right." Robin admitted sadly, breathing deeply.

"I swore to live my life based on a code of honor but I don't know where my honor lies anymore." He completed, looking down and not knowing about what he supposed to do.

"It's complicated, I understand." David nodded.

"Do you? Because I don't!" Robin exclaimed.

"I'm being weak, David… I know I am."

"No, you're not." David tried to comfort him and continue his speech:

"You didn't do anything on purpose… everything just happened and you got lost."

"But I did it anyway, and yes, I'm lost!" Robin said and rubbed a hand over his face.

"I don't know what to do." He chuckled sadly, admitting out loud his frustration.

"Zelena is carrying my child…" He gulped at the absurd of those words caused on him. He still couldn't believe in what was happening to him, how his life had turned upside down in a blink of eyes.

"Listen, there was a time I was in your position…" David started to talk about his past in Storybrooke, but comparing his situation at that time and Robin's right now, he smartly added:

"Without impregnating Snow's sister, of course."

"Oh, man!" Robin closed his eyes and breathed deeply, trying to control his concerns.

"Sorry. I was trying to comfort you but this situation is surreal." David said graceless.

"And it was only once." Robin confessed.

"Once what?" David asked.

"Marian…I mean, Zelena and I."

"Really?"

"Yes." The archer answered.

"I was trying to move on, but every time she started something, I just couldn't... Regina was always in my mind."

"Marian kept pushing me, saying she was my wife and I had to fulfill my obligations as her husband." Robin was telling about his life in New York and David was listening quietly until he asked:

"Then, how happened?"

"One day, she brought whisky. I got drunk."

"I don't even remember…that night is still a blur for me."

"But you and her did…I mean..."

"Well, we wake up together in bed and naked. She's pregnant so…"

"I'm so sorry, man."

"Thank you. But right now it's too late to regret."

"Oh!" David exclaimed as they continued to walk and he caught the sight of something in front of them.

"What?" Robin asked, but following the line of his friend's vision, he felt his throat begin to tighten.

"That house." David pointed at the place.

"It was abandoned but right now it seems someone is living there. Look at the house's improvements." David was motioning towards the house in the middle of the forest and started to approach the place, with curious eyes.

"No!" Robin stepped forward, putting a hand on David's chest.

"Nobody is living there!" He huffed, demandingly. He didn't want to explain what that place meant to him right now, he was really frustrated for that.

"How do you know?" David asked, really enquiring about his friend's reactions.

"Trust me. Nobody's living there right now. Let's turn around and walk to our original path." Robin started to walk at another direction but David was persistent.

"Robin…" David looked over his shoulder and Robin stopped.

"Do you know this place?" David asked and Robin shook and leaned his head up, looking at the beautiful place, as the bittersweet and hopeful memories started to cross his mind.

*** FLASHBACK ON ***

Storybrooke, 2 months ago

"I still don't understand why we are here." Regina complained as they were walking on the forest, while even the sun hadn't show up its face yet.

"There's no reason, we're just wandering on the forest." Robin squeezed her hand and smirked.

"Urghh!" She complained again and stopped, as she stepped false and lost her balance.

"I told you to take off these heels and put a comfortable shoe." He said and held her by the shoulders, helping her to straight the posture.

"Yes, but you didn't tell me we'd walk in the middle of the forest at this hour of the night!" She kept complaining.

"It's almost morning." He replied.

"Come on, Regina. Look how beautiful the place is." He tried to calm down her nerves because he had something really important to show her and he couldn't wait anymore, he needed to know her opinion.

"I just see trees." She stopped, rolling her eyes and waving her hands in the air.

"Exactly." He teased her, even knowing that was a dangerous thing to do at that time of the day. He knew how cranky she could be if she had to wake up early in a Saturday morning.

"And birds singing." She replied to him sarcastically, raising one eyebrow.

"This is called nature." He inhaled deeply, breathing the clean and fresh air into his nostrils.

"I'm sorry but I can't appreciate the nature with these heels at 5 in the morning of a Saturday." She was acting like a sulky child who had no desire to wake up and goes to school.

"I ratter preferred my bed." She complained again and Robin couldn't help but think about how cute she looked in that moment. Of course he was not crazy for telling her that but his mind was screaming to take her right then and there against the next tree.

"Regina, I just wanted to show you what I love." He contained his urges and tried to explain how beautiful the nature could be, ignoring the reactions of his body at seeing her so infuriating and stunning – and bluffing, of course – in front of him.

Since the Missing Year, he felt in love with that image of her, and since then, he was always pushing her buttons only to have her like that again. Of course, he'd prefer her in those tight, sexual and inappropriate dresses, but he could picture her in one of those clothes right now. However, he had to restrain himself and be a gentleman, after all, they were in Storybrooke… he couldn't press her perfect body against the next tree and make love to her senseless right now.

He shook his head, trying to astonish his inappropriate thoughts and tried a different approach.

"I didn't know you wouldn't like it… I'm so sorry." He said that and because he had something special for her to see it. So, he decided to use the reverse psychology with her.

"No, I'm sorry." She apologized and he smirked proudly, since his plan had worked. He was playing dirty with her, showing to her his puppy eyes and his sad dimples. It wasn't fair but if he wasn't doing that, she wouldn't be there with him right now.

"I just hate to wake up early in a Saturday's morning." She stated and he stole a quick peek from her beautiful lips, making her snort, but smile.

"I know, but there's something I want to show you." He said excited.

"Alright. Let's start again and I promise you I'll try to relax." She gave up because no matter her hindrance right now, she loved him and she wanted to make him happy.

"Thank you." He smiled at her, appreciating her efforts and loving her even more for that.

"We're almost there." He took her hand and started to walk again, leading the way.

"There where?" She frowned in curiosity but he didn't answer her question and kept walking until they arrived in a place near to the lake.

"See? The sunrise." He pointed at the sky with his finger.

"It's beautiful." She said as she looked at the image emerging on the horizon.

The yellow shining sun was starting to rise from the ground. It filled the sky with mighty colors of red and splashed the clouds with endless rays of pink. It was bright and mesmerizing as it inviting to stare it forever.

"Come on." He invited her to follow him again, squeezing her hand, but she didn't move and kept looking at the sunrise. She had never noticed its beauty before.

"I've never seen this side of the forest." She admitted, completely relaxed.

"It's the other side of the lake." He said, smirking at her and feeling proud to bring a sincere smile on her face at that time of the morning.

"I found it during a patrol." He explained.

"There's a house there." She observed as she turned her head to the other side.

"Yes." His smile opened even wide.

"Who does live there?" She whipped her head around as she asked to him.

"It seems abandoned." He answered.

"I guess it is." She had never seen that place before and as the mayor of the town, she felt neglecting her position; she should know about that house and its dwellers.

"Let's find out." He suggested with a mischievous grin.

"What?" She raised her eyebrow in confusion.

"Let's break in." He suggested, enthusiastically.

"You have got to be kidding me!" She scoffed and raised her eyebrows. If she was honest, she was enjoying his suggestion. The adrenaline of a young girl (who couldn't do anything like that at her youth because of her mother) started to run through her veins because of the silly invitation and she couldn't hide a little smile.

"No, I'm not." He sealed his lips to hers quickly and started to head her towards the door's house.

"We can be under arrest for it." She warned him but she was enjoying the situation as much as him.

"I really doubt that." He shook his head; he didn't even need to look behind at her. He was sure the expression she was carrying on her face.

"First of all, you're the mayor of the town and I work at the police station." He pointed that out as they were walking towards the house with fast steps.

"Second, judging by our pasts, if we're not in jail until now, I'm sure we're not going to be locked up there for only breaking in an abandoned house." He teased her and she left out a loud laugh.

They continued to walk towards the door until the great thief found the lockand some problems within it.

"I guess the lock it's wheezy." He frowned his eyebrows, trying to work with the lock's door and the damn thing was not collaborating with him.

"Well, you're the thief here." She teased, smirking and looking down at him.

"And maybe it's not the lock that is wheezy but you." She gave him a teasing smile while he was working hard to open that thing and he just huffed.

"I'm not wheezy, My Majesty. I'm Robin Hood! I can do this with one of my hands." He said and kept working with one hand while the other one pushed her body to him with one motion.

"Prove it." She challenged him, giggling at his action.

For a long time she hadn't felt that way, well…. maybe never. Doing something illegal with a man she loved and who was bringing a lot of exciting feelings for her was something she had dreamed about it but never had a chance to experience it. How much she'd like to had met him in the past... If she had entered that damn tavern, maybe they had shared a lot of experiences like that together… but she was too coward at that time, she was scared and had ran away from him – at least it was what she was thinking.

"See? My skills are intact." After a few seconds, the door opened for them, revealing the inside of the mysterious house.

"After you, Your Majesty." He mentioned at her in reverence and she couldn't contain the young girl inside of her anymore.

"Your? Not My anymore?" She said, smirking and walking inside the place, touching his chest with one finger, sliding it down on purpose until it met his waist pants as she passed by him.

"Whatever you like it." He swallowed and slowed his words as he felt her hands travelling on his body.

She stepped forward into the house, turned around and threw her arms around his neck. She pulled him close to her inside the house, making him smile and kissing him eagerly.

"Oh!" She exclaimed as she broke the kiss, looking around at the place.

"This place is huge." She said, as she recovered her breath.

"And there're bedrooms upstairs." He seemed excited to showing her the place and she noticed it by the tone of his voice.

"Have you already been here?" She was walking around the living room and touching the fireplace.

"Follow me." He approached her and took her hands in his once more, gently.

She followed him, as asked. He made his way to the upstairs, with a very curious Regina behind him. He looked over his shoulder and couldn't explain what he saw: the youth showing on her face at that moment, the brightness of her eyes…. He was sure he had seen it before. Of course the thought was crazy, but for the moment, the image was very familiar for him.

"What?" She noticed his behavior, frowning her forehead, and stopping on the steps.

"Nothing." He lied, shaking his head in negative and started to move again.

"I think that's the master room." He pointed at a specific room as they walked on the corridor at the second floor.

The place was wide, with a lot of dust, indicating the lack of cleanliness and habitation, but she didn't care, she could fix everything with a flick of her wrists. Despite, the house was warm, cozy and the view of the master room was breathtaking.

"Robin…" She said as she stepped outside the room, stopping at the balcony and admiring the view.

The air felt fresh and new and a gentle breeze caressed her skin. She watched as ribbons of golden sunlight spilled into the forest and reflected on the lake. The pine trees were a black silhouette against the brilliant gold sky. The dew drops, adorning the forest, seemed to glow with their own golden radiance.

She exhaled with relief and it was that moment that she registered his strong arms wrapping around her body from behind and his chin resting on her shoulder.

"Do you like it?" He breathed out the words close to her ear, as a whisper.

"I've never seen the sunrise for this angle." She admitted, taking a long breath.

She marveled at the glistening reflection of the sun on the lake and a thrilling feeling of awe swept over her. Brilliant gold and orange hues bled like fire in the east over the lake and beyond the town.

"It's beautiful." She was in need for a moment like that, a moment of peace, with him, only and alone.

The past few months seemed to disappear from her mind and the bitter moments of those bad times, had washed away with the soft lullaby of the waves of the lake singing along as the sun finally showed up in the sky.

"No more beautiful than you." He leaned his head to her and gave a soft kiss on her cheek, tightening his body against hers.

Since he had come back to the town, they didn't have the chance to be alone, to enjoy each other's company. It had been more than a week now, but every time they thought they could be alone, something or somebody had interrupted them. She missed that badly - being alone with him - and she could affirm, judging by his body reactions, that he had missed her as well.

"Thank you for showing me this, I guess I've never stopped to fully appreciate that kind of thing before."

Honestly, they had never had the opportunity to enjoy each other's company. It had always had a threat, a curse, a villain or a wife… and then Zelena. The only moment they shared any intimacy with each other until now was the time on her vault. And even at that time, there was a wave of guilty hovering on their minds.

"I'm glad you liked it. When I found this house, I couldn't wait to show it for you." He ran his hands softly over her shoulders and looked down into her eyes.

"I know you've always dreamed on living in a place like this one." He completed, looking at the horizon.

"Who told you that?" She turned around as the realization of his words hit her, staring at him in confusion.

"You did." His answer was short and resolute.

"No, I didn't." She frowned, trying to remember about telling him her old dreams.

"I think I guessed it…" Honestly, he didn't remember her telling him that, he just had some unknown and strange feelings.

Maybe he had dreamed or imagined about it, or maybe she had told him and forget. But observing the resolution in her eyes, he noticed she was sure she hadn't shared anything about that with him. However, he was feeling a sense of déjà vu and he couldn't explain the reason.

"I don't know." He mimicked her, frowning in return and trying to remember from where that statement had come from.

"When I was young…" She started to talk, seeing the confusion on his face, and feeling she had to explain her thoughts to him.

"I tried to run away with Daniel. I had a dream of living in a simple and quiet place… a place like this." She waved her hands to the place around her.

"Don't you like your mansion?" He asked, but already knowing her feelings about it.

"Yes, of course." She wetted her lips and looked down.

"But?" He tried to make her to expose her feelings.

"But…"

"That house belongs to the mayor and to the Evil Queen." She stated.

"It's just… I'd never had a place for me, for…" She tried to admit, shyly.

"For Regina." He completed.

"It's stupid." She chuckled, sadly, shaking her head.

"No, it's not." He nodded his head and put his palms on her cheeks, making her looking at him in the eyes.

"You deserve a place for yourself and for your family, a place you can call home." He comforted her and she smiled in return, throwing her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly.

"What's that?" She asked, looking over his shoulder, as he hugged her back.

"A stable." He said, as he turned his head around and followed the line of her vision.

"Oh!" She exclaimed, in excitement and sadness at the same time, while some memories were crossing her mind.

"I used to ride a lot when I was young." She said, remembering the time in Enchanted Forest, when she was a young and happy girl, learning how to ride a horse.

"I know it." He caressed her hair softly.

"How?" She was confused again because there was no way he could know those particular and private things about her past.

"I don't know…" He said gawky and she raised an eyebrow.

"I just have these feelings… I can't explain." He laughed but the sensation of sharing a moment like that with her before was still playing in his mind, but of course it was just a feeling.

"Maybe we had met in another life." He suggested and she scoffed.

"Or maybe you were stalking at me when I was young." She accused him playfully, frowning.

"We are soulmates, right? We are supposed to meet one another." He said, with a proud smile showing on his face.

"I think no matter when, you're supposed to be mine, milady." He teased, holding her waist, bringing her close to him and making her rolling her eyes.

"I'm glad you're enjoying the view." He looked deeply into her eyes and she couldn't help but smile back.

"You know what could make this really enjoyable?" He suggested, with a playful and suggesting smile on his face, the one that she knew really well.

"No!" She adverted him.

"Don't even think about it!" She raised her eyebrows and put her hands on his chest, trying to put some distance between their bodies.

In fact, she wanted him as well. She wanted him badly, if she was honest to herself. The environment was perfect: the warm of the room, the lights of the sun rising, his firm grip on her waist, the mischievous dimples showing on his face, the characteristic smell of him invading her nostrils and the growing urgency between her thighs…

"Why not?" He leaned his head and bit the skin of her neck softly and teasingly, bringing an unexplainable urge to her whole body.

"Are you scared?" He let one hand travel to her spine, making her shiver, until he reached her ass and squeezed it softly, making her desire increased.

"Really, Regina?" He breathed into her mouth, biting her lower lip, squeezing her ass harder and bringing her body even closer to his.

"Hmmm…" She moaned as she felt his evident arousal through his pants rubbing against her stomach.

"Where's your sense of adventure?" He looked imploringly at her and all she could do was nod her head before he crashed his lips against hers again.

The kiss was full of heat, passion and desire. She had never felt so wanted before. She was on fire, in need of his wet mouth travelling and leaving hot paths of saliva though her body.

"I'm not scared." She said breathless, lips swollen, after they broke the kiss. He chuckled at the sign. Even at those moments, she tried to be sassy and brave, but he knew she wanted him as much as he needed her right now. They needed to release, together, feel their bodies perfectly fitting against each other.

He lifted her into his arms and walked towards the balcony, supporting her whole body with his strong arms and sat her there.

"I just don't want anyone catching us in the act." She said, but wrapped her legs around his waist, bringing his body to hers, and kissed him hard once more.

"We're not teenagers anymore for…"

"Hmm" The previous words were an attempt to stop his actions, but she hummed as he started to unbutton her shirt, ghosting her skin with his fingerprints. She swallowed hard her words as he pushed her bra aside.

"For what?" He asked and then took one nipple into his mouth, alternating between sucking and biting before soothing it with his tongue.

"We…" She bite her lower lip hard when he moaned in satisfaction and twisted her nipple with the tip of his warm tongue.

"Making out…" Her voice was becoming impatient and her breath irregular.

"In public…" Beside her protests, her fingers were threading in his hair, gripping and commanding for him to keep his movements.

"In some else's house." She pointed that already giving up and closing her eyes, as he sucked her nipple eagerly, letting his free hand travel down to her body, until his fingers found her clit over her panties, and started to rub there.

He moved his lips back to hers again, keeping his fingers at her entrance, teasing the soft and already wet area. Her tongue was in his mouth, savoring and twirling around his, as her hips started to meet his fingers involuntarily.

He put her feet on the floor, with her body still sitting on the balcony and began to kiss her neck, his thumb quietly and deliciously rubbing her clit.

"Hmm…" She whispered and she was about to protest when she felt his fingers leaving her body. But then, she saw him kneeling down before her, spreading her legs apart slightly.

"This is not about adventure! It's…" She swallowed her final attempt to protest and gasped when she suddenly felt his fingers lifting up her skirt to her waist and pushing her panties aside.

"You were saying…" He teased, looking up, his hungry eyes meeting with hers chocolate ones.

Before he broke eye contact, his tongue licked at her bundle of nerves with a lot of despair that she had never felt in her life. A naughty smile showed on his face as her hold on his shoulder tightened and her nails burrowed on his skin.

"God!" She inhaled deeply as she felt the tentative licks of his tongue as he parted her folds, seeking her aching bundle of nerves.

"Oh!" She swallowed hard, reaching her hands down and placing them on his head now.

"Robin…" She begged, desperate for more friction and contact.

"Hmm?" He murmured and she felt the vibrations of his chuckles between her legs, tilting her head back with a sigh.

"We have to stop." The voice of the reason was screaming inside of her head but she wanted this, she needed this… right now!

"Hmm…" She closed her eyes again as she saw him kneeling right down with both knees in front of her. He pushed her hips down to his face and changed the angles of his advances.

"Oh…" She wrapped one leg around his neck, making his mouth crashed against her sex.

He continued to flick his tongue over her most sensitive spot, tickling and teasing her with quick, but soft motions. Now, she was holding tightly to the edges of the balcony with both sides of her hands curled into tight fists as her tension mounted. Long strings of moans mixed with words felt from her lips, mostly unintelligible, except for Robin's name.

"Robin… we have to stop!"

Robin sensed she was getting close to come because of the way she was wailing and writhing around.

And then… he stopped.

"Why did you stop?" She widened her eyes, totally frustrated, and made him to look up at her by grabbing his hair – harder than she intended to do it – but who could blame her?

"You asked for it." He licked her clit once more, looking up to her and smirking.

"Don't you dare to stop it right now, thief!" She complained and he couldn't help but chuckle.

Bastard!

"I thought you said we were not teenagers anymore for making out in some else's house and in public." He knew he was frustrating her, pushing her out of the lines, but it was a beautiful kind of torture and he could see it through her blushed face.

"And I thought you could use your tongue for better things than peep talks!" She shouted back at him and forwards her hips to his face again, rubbing her waiting sex at his mouth, parting her lips and begging to him for continuing his sensual ministrations. If he wouldn't do that, she promised for herself to burn him alive with one of her fireballs.

And it seemed worked. The next thing she sensed was he moving her panties down to her feet – which she kicked away fast – and licking her folds like a starving man at a feast.

He chastised her when she jumped up, as if she didn't know that already. He chuckled and she shivered as she felt his hot breath on her again.

"Oh!" She exclaimed as his sudden movement surprised her.

"Right there!" Her knees were almost straddling his head, clenching his ears as her legs trembled when she felt his mouth on where she was needing it most.

"For God's sake, Regina." He groaned as he felt her wetness and she felt his words more than hear them.

She spread her legs open wider and moved up to hover on top of him. He stared up at her bundle of waiting nerves before she covered up his face up with it.

He held on to her thighs tightly, kissing her over the folds chastely at first, then looking up at her with his heavenly blue eyes as one of his hands drifted up to grope her breasts over her clothes.

"Robin!" She cried out.

He pressed the tip of his tongue from top to bottom, in and around, out and in, pressing his tongue flat and then in between the crevice of her folds. As he did that, she kept grinding against him so that she almost felt his nose rub against her clit, and he kept fondling her everywhere he could.

Her entire body quivered when his other hand squeezed her ass. His mouth speeding up its movements and adopting a pattern: lick, nibble, and suck, as she rotated her hips faster.

She clasped his hair with both hands, messing up his perfectly combed blond curls.

He sucked hard her swollen clit between his lips, flicking it gently with his tongue while his finger curled into a come-hither motion inside her.

She couldn't take it anymore. She wouldn't last much longer with his altering speeds and motions, or his penetrating stare.

He added another finger, curling, hitting her sweet spot and she started to fall apart. Her legs were shaking violently. She hold his head against her and rubbed her sex against his mouth, trying to enjoy the burning and delicious sensation that was taking control of her body.

Robin twined his free arm around her leg and held her upright. His fingers thrust in and out of her faster and faster, sucking her clit as deeply as he could until she began convulsing. His other palm started to rub her erect nipples as her juices covered his face, dripping from the corners of his mouth and chin as she gripped at his hair even harder (it was that even possible?).

A wave washed over her, drowning her in it. She squeezed her thighs tighter around his face as she came, harder than ever in her life. She felt her tremor expand from the tips of toes to the ends of her fingers, while her vision blaring white and the only thing she could do was scream his name.

She couldn't feel her knees, her breath was as irregular as her heartbeats and she almost collapsed after her orgasm if it wasn't for Robin's hands bringing her trembling body to his lap.

She could feel his lips touching the top of her head softly and his hand enveloping her small figure as she was recomposing herself.

"I love you."

Those three simple but meaning words, almost whispered in her ear, made her eyes widen, her heart stopped and her whole body tensed up.

Since the town line, deep inside, she knew he'd say it to her, but at that time, the words were gone unspoken. She stopped to believe in love for a long time and she wasn't waiting to love again, but then, Robin happened in her life and she began to believe once more. Still, she thought she wasn't worthy after everything she had done. However, she had waited to hear it again. The young and hopeful Regina had remained inside her even in her darkest days as the Evil Queen. Now, the man she loved, her soulmate, was saying these words to her for the first time and she couldn't trust in her ears.

A miscellaneous of emotions washed her mind: her sister was pregnant and he was the father. He had moved on with other woman, got her pregnant, but he had been deceived by her, by her dirt game. He was a victim, right? And he was there right now, telling her what no one had been capable of since Daniel. And she knew it was true. She knew he loved her, she could feel it. He loved the person she was and had been, he loved all of her.

She looked up at him and met the honesty coming from his eyes. The feeling brought tears in her eyes, tears of joy she wasn't able (and didn't want) to stop.

They were perfect in their imperfections. They were a match. They were soulmates. That weird fairy was right after all. That damn dust worked and not only because it was magical, but because her heart and soul was screaming her feelings for her.

The man she ran away for a long time was right now in front of her, saying he loved her. It wasn't coincidence, it was destiny, and it had been prophesied, despite the real life's obstacles.

Was she ready to say that words out loud to him?

She knew she was, but she was still scared. So instead, she leaned forward and crashed her lips on his, trying to show her feelings to him though her acts.

He reciprocated her kiss while he wiped the tears away from her face at the same time. He knew they had a lot to discuss, but right now, they just had to feel each other again.

"I love you, Regina." He assured her, cupping her cheeks with his hand and his eyes found hers, after they parted softly, ran out of oxygen.

She leaned into his touch, closing her eyes and enjoying their moment. The warmth spreading from him was intoxicating, vicious, and she couldn't resist on that. When she opened her eyes and met him staring at her, she managed a small chuckle at that. After all this time, she loved someone and she was loved back.

"What?" His lips pulled into a frown.

"Nothing." Shaking her head, she leaned forward and kissed him again.

At first, it was supposed to be an innocent kiss, and it was, but when their tongues started to dance together in a fast rhythm, a heat started to grow inside her belly again.

She sat up, straddling him. She could feel his hard length through the fabric of his pants and then, she grounded herself against him. His hands settled on her hips pulling her to him even more.

She kissed him back clumsily as his lips guided hers patiently until she granted his tongue permission into her mouth so that she could taste herself on him. She pulled his head closer and rubbed her hips against him desperately.

She leaned forward and kissed along his neck, biting it lightly with her tongue as she suckled on it, then teased and glided along the skin beneath his ear until reaching his lips. An electrifying jolt passing through her as their lips reunited.

"Regina." His voice was slow and heavy against her lips.

She ground her uncovered sex against him even harder and her hands started to work on his belt and then on the pants zipper. She freed him and took him in her hand. She gave his sex long and slow strokes, and she grinned as she saw his head fell back against the wall with a "thud".

"I need you inside of me." She leaned forward, whispered it in his ear and he swallowed hard, firming his grip on her hips, as she kept stroking him with one of her hands while the another were working with the buttons of his shirt.

She got the courage and bite the side of his jaw, making him left out a guttural moan and bucking his hips hard and fast into her hand. She started to rub her sex against his length back and forth, as her hand didn't stop the ministrations. Her hand and hips at the same rhythm: rubbing, scratching, wetting his cock and abdomen with her juice.

She couldn't get enough of him; she wantedmore, she needed more. She rose up on her knees and lowered herself completely, making their sighs became heavy. They hummed together at the feeling of him filling her after all that time. She moved slowly at first but she couldn't keep teasing him, it wasn't time for games. She was desperate for more, for releasing again, and this time, with his cock buried deep inside her.

He managed to open his eyes and took the sign of her: the most stunning woman, the woman he loved, was straddling him hard, taking him completely, gasping and with her head falling backwards. Her blouse was half open, her bra pushed aside, her beautiful breasts were shaking as she was taking him up and down. Her nails were ingrown hard on his shoulders, her skirt was pushed at her waist and her cheeks were blushed. He was sure he had never seen something so beautiful in his life, so he squeezed his grip on her.

Once she opened her eyes and saw him staring at her with lustful eyes, she placed her hands on his chest and pushed him down onto his back, making their sexes lost contact at the action. He almost started to complain about that but with a flick of her hand, she undressed them completely.

Every part of him was perfect, from his ruffled blond curls and brilliant blue eyes to his thick baker's hands. She licked her own lips as her eyes followed the contour of his broad chest, down his just visible six-pack, traversing the fine muscular V of his taut hip muscles until they fell upon the center of his pleasure and she imagined that thick, veiny thing shoved deeply into her mouth. The thought of it made her clit throb between her sodden lips. But right now, she needed to come. She could do that another time.

So she rose her body a little again, before taking him completely into her and riding him hard and fast as never before.

She moaned brokenly as he digged his fingers into her hips, holding her to him like a lifeline. He thrust his hips back to her and buried himself in her to the hilt. Their moans were breaking the stillness of the surroundings.

"Regina, I'm…" He tried to say after a time, but it was too late, her walls fluttered around him, calling out his name and bringing his release with hers.

She collapsed onto his chest, nothing but a sweaty pile of quivering limbs and racing hearts. Slowly, like waking from a wonderful dream, it dawn on her where they were and she chuckle at first, but started to smiled hard against his chest. He, as always, seemed to read her thoughts and smiled with her, making their chest join with the ups and downs of their laughs. They were two idiots making love like teenagers in someone else's house in the light of the day. But they didn't care. The moment was perfect. They were perfect for each other. Life was being a villain to them, but they'd find a way to stay together. They deserve to share their feelings, desires, worries and happiness with one another.

"I love you too." She lifted her head, supporting herself on her hands against his chest and looking deeply at his eyes.

"We'll make it work, my love." He kissed her forehead softly and breathed deeply in relief as he enveloped his arms around her.

"We will." She replied, resting her head on his chest and hearing his heartbeats becoming regular again.

It was clear for them the challenges they'd have to face. The real life was waiting for them outside that house, knocking constantly on their minds, but they love each other. Love could break any dark curse or undo the effects of any potion. After all, true love was the most powerful magic at all, wasn't it?

If only they knew they had just made a precious and unique soul together right now, maybe things could be easier… or not.

Life isn't easy, especially for those who want to live and love intensely and had this right denied for a long time ago. However, as that beautiful fairy told Regina in the past, they were destined to be together, no matter what. They were destined to create a new life, a new magic whisper of hope.

At the end, despite their damage lives and the attempts of their enemies to separate and prevent them from creating that little miracle, here she was: looking for a place inside Regina's womb, in a house they had dreamed to live together for a long time ago, even if they couldn't remember it. But their little girl was brave and she was trying to make her appearance into the world… and in that day, with the love her parents felt for each other and despite the cruel destiny and circumstances, she made it.

*** FLASHBACK OFF ***

"No. I don't know that house." Robin lied.

"I'm just guessing." He tried to convince David but his eyes gave him away.

"You're lying." David said as he saw the expression on his friend's face.

"What does that place really mean to you, Robin?" David frowned, looking at the beautiful house, knowing his friend was hiding something important from him.

"It was supposed to be our home…" Robin admitted after a long pause, remembering the time when he brought Regina there and showed the house for her, without telling her his future plans. He wanted to make a surprise, but right now, everything was useless.

"I'm sorry?" David raised an eyebrow, trying to light the mood of his friend, but knowing exactly what he was implying.

"Regina's and mine… for our family." Robin raised his head and looked at the balcony, feeling his heart tighten in his chest.

"I bought the house when I came back to Storybrooke." He decided to tell the truth for his friend. He was planning to tell Regina at that day but he thought it was better to finish the repairs first and then tell her. It was supposed to be a surprise and since she liked the house, he was excited to show her the place they could call as their home one day.

"I found it on a patrol and I thought it was the best place for us to start all over again." He should have told her at that time because right now he couldn't do it anymore.

"Our new beginning, our second chance…" The second chance that now it seemed more like a bittersweet and really distant dream to him.

"The foundations are really conserved." David observed as they were walking around the place.

"I negotiated with Marco, the original owner, and I'm still paying for it, but right now it's useless… everything it's over." Robin shook his head in defeat.

"Maybe it's not." David tried to encourage him.

"Do you really love her?" David stopped to walk and stared serious at his friend.

"Excuse me?" Robin widened his eyes because, at this point, he thought it was an obvious answer. He thought no one should have a doubt about it.

"Of course I do love her!" He was trying to prove at all costs his love for her, even in public.

"Then fight for her, no matter the circumstances." David stated.

"But I did…" Robin cringed at the words, his eyes narrowing and his head down, trying to figure out what else he had to do to prove his love for her.

"Do you think my relationship with Snow had never had obstacles?" David remembered their time in Storybrooke at the first curse and even their time at the Enchanted Forest had not been a fairytale. Despite the magic and curses, they were a real couple, with real problems.

"The fairytales books are wrong, man. Trust me." David said and Robin chuckled.

"Regina doesn't want me anymore." Robin rubbed a hand over his face.

"But she still loves you." David stated and noticed his friend tensed and took a deep breath, glancing down the whole time.

David was almost sure the reason behind Robin's behavior but he felt he had to touch in the delicate subject soon or later, deciding that right now it was the best time. They were friends, weren't they? And friends have to stay together in the goods and the bad moments.

"Don't you think you can love her baby as your own?" David finally blurted, wishing his friend wouldn't scold him for his audacity.

There was a pause, a brief moment where the two friends stared at one another down until Robin exclaimed.

"Of course I can!" Robin waved his hands through the air, totally frustrated. He had no desire to discuss this topic but he knew he could trust David and maybe he was the only one that could understand his feelings right now.

Robin knew he was neglecting her calls and attempts to talk to him the whole week, but he had his reasons. She was pregnant. She was waiting a baby and it happened that the baby was not his. He needed time to process everything. He hadn't even slept the last few days because of it, trying to understand how their situation had got at this point.

"Then, why are you struggling about that?"

"I wished the baby was mine..." Robin finally admitted his frustration, blinking away the unshed tears he was trying hard to not them fall.

How much he wanted to have a baby with her, a product of their love. He was confused since she had told him she was barren.

How would she be pregnant right now? That was impossible!

Maybe it was not, maybe she found a way, but that only could have happened to him, to them, and not to her with another man.

"The baby can still be yours, my friend." David tried to assure him, as he saw the internal struggles of the man in front of him.

"If you raise, take care and love the baby, it'd be yours." David said, seeing Robin shifting uneasily in front of him, placing a supportive hand on his shoulder.

"And she's not with Arthur, you know?" Yes, David was gossiping, like his wife, but he didn't care. At this moment, he only wanted to bring some comfort to his friend.

"Are you sure?" Robin raised his eyebrows and for the first time, David saw a bit of hope on his face.

"Yeah. I heard her talking to Snow." David finished his gossip. His wife would kill him if she found out he was telling Robin about her private conversations with her step mother. But to be honest, he didn't care, he knew how much Robin and Regina loved each other and maybe they only needed a push. He'd explain to Snow later, in case she knew about his big mouth.

"I didn't tell you that, alright?" David pointed at a finger to Robin and he nodded.

"Right." Robin assured his friend with a small smile that started to appear on his face.

"I didn't hear one word about it from you." Robin completed and David was sure he could trust his friend.

"Nice house." David stopped at the front door, looking at the building sit. It was indeed a huge place, like a little farm, with a lot of green areas and fresh air. It was a little hidden paradise at the city.

"I know." Robin smirked, his eyes softening, remembering that Regina had loved the place, even not knowing at that time it was theirs… hers.

He had brought that for her, for their family to live together, for their new beginning. A new beginning he had given up last week, but David's words had brought a flame in his heart again…they still could do it, they could still be a family.

"Do you need help with the repairs?" David interrupted his thoughts.

"Are you applying yourself as an assistant?" Robin asked, with a playful smile.

"Maybe. I have to check on my magical agenda." David answered and they both laughed.

"Then yes, thank you…and not only for the house." Robin became serious and extended his hand for his friend, being surprised as he felt David's arms hugging him.

"Let's finish the house for your family, Robin." David said as he hugged Robin tight, patting his backs. David really wanted Regina to be happy with Robin, more now than ever. He chuckled as he thought that maybe Snow's influences were hitting him hard at this moment.

"Yes, for my family." Robin said that and couldn't control a wide and hopeful smile growing on his face, as the friends released from their rare display of affection.

Yes, his family. They could be a family: Regina, Roland, Henry, Regina's baby and the baby Zelena was carrying (apparently she didn't want the baby and she had definitely no conditions to take care of a child, but he would).

They could do it, Regina and him. Maybe it wouldn't be easy and traditional, but the most satisfying and beautiful things in life are never easy. He only should get courage and talk to Regina, straighten things right, have a serious conversation with her once for all. No matter the impediments their lives were bringing up to them, they still love each other.

They still could be a family and start their lives all over again in that beautiful house. And he hoped that one day, they could call that place as their home. The voice of hope was screaming hard to his heart that, one day, they would.

I promised I'll post the next chapter very soon, maybe next week.

Next chapter: more of page 23 and Robin will see Regina again in SB (lot of feels).

Mwah *-*
