hey everyone, I apologize about how long it's been since my last upload. I had an idea of how I wanted this story to go and then I saw another story that had the same concept. I finally decided how this story is going to go, and it will now be completed. I've changed the bio to hint toward what will happen, I hope you enjoy. :)

"Mmm," Regina mumbled half asleep feeling a soft brush against her cheek. "Robin?" She mumbled again. "Good morning," He grinned. "Did you sleep well?" Regina nodded sleepily as she turned toward him, nuzzling into his side. She didn't want to get up, never wanted to move. "The Queen looks so different after her night of beauty sleep. Especially like this." He smirked pushing the sheets farther down her body as she moved closer to him. "Robin..." She groaned. "Stop it." Robin chuckled softly as she buried his face into his side. "What? Come on Queenie, get up." Regina jerked the sheets up around her, "No!" Robin got up, looking at her body wrapped in the sheets as he pulled his underclothes on. "Must I get you up?" Regina turned the opposite direction, a strip of her flesh showing as the sheets rose up. "Fine, you asked for it." Robin reached over the bed pulling her closer before he lifts her and holds her onto his shoulder. "Come on," He chuckles, "You've got clothes to put on." Regina pushed against his chest until he sat her down. She couldn't help but smile up at him as she stood, completely exposed, in front of him.

Robin smiled back, wrapping one of his arms around her waist. He pulled her into a deep kiss, caressing the small of her back. "Robin," She started to giggle as his actions begged for more, "Stop. You got me up, now you have to wait." She pushed him away, giggling the entire time as his hand slid off her. "That hardly seems fair," He protested, watching her open the enormous closet on the opposite side of the room. "Do I care what's fair, dear?" Regina flipped her way through her old dresses. "No, I guess you don't." He grinned, sitting himself back to stare at her as she dressed in tight black pants with a red over coat. "Good, then no more complaining." She walked back to him, leaning down to kiss him one more time. Robin pulling her down onto the bed as she laughed kissing back.

After their morning meal, Robin, Regina, and Roland had all decided on a day enjoying the small open area around the back of the castle. Regina had poured glasses of wine for Robin and herself, and walked out with both of them. Roland instantly ran off into the open field, playing with the wooden toys Robin had brought back for him after his trip. Regina, having been trying to avoid the subject, Robin wasn't going to let it slide. "So are you going to explain to me what happened last night? What frightened you?"

Regina glanced over at him, both sitting in chairs that Robin had moved to be closer together. Her eyes moved down to the tattoo, but only for a moment. He reached for her hand, pulling it into his lap. "Regina, what happened?" She tried to let the feeling of his fingers tracing patterns along her skin sooth her, but the ideas of her sister and the meaning of that tattoo wouldn't let her. She let out a small whisper, her eyes focused on their hands, "Your tattoo."

Robin turned his arm over so the tattoo was now visible. He couldn't understand, was this somehow bad? "What about it?"

"It's..." Regina hesitated, sighing softly as the frustration behind her own words grew in her mind. Why was this so difficult? She did love Robin, and this only proved that they could be happy together. But... With the threat of her sister, how could she ask him to be with her? "When I was younger, I met this fairy, Tinkerbell. She tried to help me before I hit my darkest days. She swore she knew exactly what I needed and could help me find it. Tink said that I needed to love again, so she used her pixie dust to lead me to this tavern. I'd never been there, but..." She stumbled over her words, trying to finish smoothly. "Tinkerbell told me that the man I was meant to be with was inside, my soulmate. I didn't ever see the mans face, but she told me what to look for. The lion tattoo..."

Robins eyes grew with shock, moving between her eyes and the lion tattooed onto his forearm. "I was the man she showed you to? It was me!?"

Regina laughed quietly at his happily surprised tone, "Yes, Robin... It was you." Robin grinned, he'd fallen in love with the woman before him, and this proved it was truly meant to be. "Then why didn't I see you that night?" Regina looked down sadly, "I was too afraid to go in, I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I ran. I never went back to find you."

"Oh..." Robin locked his eyes to the tattoo. "Then, why did it upset you last night when you saw it?" Regina leaned in closer to him, relived to know the idea of them mean to be together did scare him, but now she had to come clean about what had really happened the night he'd returned. Now he would know that the greened skin woman wasn't just some simple threat.

"The cut on my hand the night you returned, it wasn't an accident." Her eyes barely looked up to meet his. "Someone was here that night." Robin was at full attention now, "Who?"

"I... I didn't even know the woman, but she claims to be my sister. I wouldn't believe it, but she spoke of my Mother and so many other things..." Robin slowly shookthis head, "What did she want?"

"She didn't exactly say, but she made it clear she didn't like me. She said I could say goodbye to my happiness."

Robin understood, he could understand everything. Why she'd trurs to get up last night, why she'd been so hesitant with him since that night. "You think she was talking about me?"

Regina looked into his eyes sadly, "What else could she have meant? You and Roland are the only thing I have now. I didn't have anything in Storybrooke other than my son, and he's gone now." Her eyes started to tear up at the though of Henry, "I don't know who this woman is, Robin. I don't know how dangerous she could be, how powerful she could be. If you and Roland stay... You're putting yourselves in danger."

Robin reached for her hand, lacing her fingers with his, "I'm not going to let you face this woman alone, Regina. Whoever she is, whatever she wants. We found each other for a reason, is wasn't just some mishap. I'm not going anywhere."

Regina leaned into him, resting her head against his shoulder. She wouldn't let anyone hurt him or Roland. "I don't want you to leave..." She let herself say the words, as selfish as she knew they sounded.

"I don't want to leave," Robin whispered back and placed his arm around her.

Regina had leaned back against Robins chest as the minutes had passed, both of them watching Roland run through the grand open field with a toy in each hand. "He looks so happy." Regina commented, but before Robin had the chance to respond they both heard the nay of multiple horses.

"Daddy! Daddy! Miss Gina! Miss Gina!" Roland had swooped up all of his toys and made a run for them.

Robin and Regina both stood, looking out as far as the could to see a group of horses with people they couldn't make out riding toward them. "Who would be coming to my castle?" Regina asked, glancing back at Robin who had placed one hand on the small of her back his other on the head of the boy clinging to both of them.

"I don't know, but we've got visitors." Robin squinted trying to make them out.
