Prompt from Little Missus (Enjoy): Disney movies with Robin
"Look Papa! This one has your name on it!" Roland squealed.
They started a tradition on Friday nights of movie marathons. Regina wanted to introduce her thief to more pop culture, even though he was still rather weary of the magic box more commonly refereed to as the television.
Henry was at Emma's for the week and it was Roland's night to pick. Naturally he went over to the extensive collection of Disney movies Snow had insisted Regina have in her home. It had all the classics, except for Snow White. Knowing what that movie entailed the former Evil Queen had it charred to a crisp. There was no way she was letting her new family know how that story played out.
Regina and Robin were in the kitchen making popcorn and pouring drinks for everyone when they heard their little merry man.
"Look Papa! This one has your name on it!" Roland squealed.
A big smile came to Regina's face. She was waiting for the day that Robin would watch this movie. Seeing the look on his face while watching was going to be priceless.
Robin walked over to the prince of dimples. He bent down to the child's level and eyed what his love called a DVD with suspicion. "That it does lad." He looked to her to see the dazzling smile that she only had for him. "How did he not notice this one earlier?" Surly after all the times they had done this, Roland would have seen this one first.
Regina smirked. She may have purposely left that one hidden until she thought they were ready to see it. Roland especially. He was confused for a while after Marian had shown up and she did not want him to become upset by watching a movie with his birth mother in it. So she made some adjustments. "It was meant for a special occasion." She joined her boys with popcorn in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. "Pop it in Sweetie." Roland had taken to technology faster than his father and could properly work the DVD player by the second movie night.
The Mills-Hood family settled down on the couch in their usual spots. Roland between Regina and Robin, popcorn bowl happily placed on his lap.
It took a total of thirty seconds for Robin to start making comments. This was always the best part for Regina.
"Is this another where they have all been cursed?" He still did not understand why Disney used talking animals. Regina shook her head. "No dear. They are just animals. You make quite a fine fox if I do say so myself."
"Who is this Prince John? I was never in that kingdom." No matter how many times she explained it, he could not grasp that these movies were not based on facts. Lilo and Stitch was a fun one to explain. He went around the house for days wondering if they could get an alien for a pet. "No you only stole from me." The Queen smiled and he placed a kiss on her hand which was wrapped around Roland. "And I'm pretty sure you keep doing it." He gave her a sideways glance. "My heart has been stolen as well."
His face turned into an smug one. "As I recall, you can't steal something that has been given to you. Or is that no longer true?" Her giggle in response to him parroting her own words gave him all the answer he needed. When the female fox comes onto the screen Robin sends a worried look over to his love. They had talked about how Roland should not be around when Maid Marian was mentioned. His worries were pointless, however, for when the character introduced herself it was as Lady Regina. "Now that's not how I remember it." He was glad for the change, but still poked fun at her.
Roland perked up. "That's Mama!" His smile brought forth the dimples that Regina loved so much. "Yes it is sweetie." After everything with Roland's birth mother happened the little boy had honored her with the decision to call the Queen, Mama. At first she tried to discourage it, but Robin encouraged it. He thought his son needed a mother who truly cared for him. If that person also happened to be his True Love, that was not his fault. Just a perk.
"How on earth did that work as a disguise?" Robin comments as the archery tournament scene plays out. Regina lets out a laugh while he sits dumbfounded. The same happened when they watched Toy Story and the toys went across the street as traffic cones. It was a long conversation about how there was no way they would be successful because they can't see and questioning how no one noticed moving cones.
The family falls into silence while the rest of the movie plays. When the cartoon Robin jumps into the moat, Roland snuggles into Regina. "Don't worry, your daddy is much smarter than that." She whispers into his ear and presses a kiss to his forehead.
Robin leans over to his love. "That I am. However I would like to know how he survived that jump. It's quite a large fall." It took a moment for Regina to realize he was being serious. "Oh Robin. When are you going to learn that you cannot question Disney logic?" She presses her lips to his to silence any question he might have come up with after that.
As the movie comes to an end Roland asks a question that neither adult was expecting. "Papa are you are Mama going to get married like in the movie?" Both sat in stunned silence.
