ok sooo I didn't exactly know how to continue this... I'm kinda winging it but I think it came together nicely for now. It's pretty much a filler chapter, trying to get some Marian and Robin in there to help him decide, give him a harder choice. I hope you enjoy and don't hate me too much.

Love y'all! Keep the reviews coming. You are all so great and keep putting a smile on my face :D

Chapter 3

Robin walked back into the diner and sat down next to Roland who was sitting across from Marian.

Marian looked at him with a confused grin. "Honey, why did you not sit next to me? Didn't you miss me? I've missed you and the last time I saw you was a week ago. I can't imagine how you must feel."

Robin thought to himself, probably because I'm in shock? You've been dead for so long and you're finally back? It's going to take time to adjust back to how it was before. It was not time for that conversation however. "I'm sorry Marian. Its just a habit." With that Marians smile turned into a sad one.

Robin got up and went over to the other side and placed an arm around her and a hand on hers. "Hey, its been a very long time since you and I have been together. You died, I had to get over you, to move on. And it took me so many painful years but I finally was able to move on because of Roland. He helped me to live again. You just need to give me time to get over the shock of you being alive, being here, with us again."

Marian seemed to be pleased with that answer. She looked up and kissed him on the cheek and nuzzled into his chest. Robin was thankful she didn't press any further. He did not want to tell her that he had also moved on in his love life as well. And that he had fallen in love with the "evil" queen who had her killed in the past. No, that he would save for when they weren't in a public place. Maybe after Marian saw that Regina was no longer that evil woman, but one filled with love for both him and his son.

He couldn't help his mind from wondering about her. He knew he loved her but he also was deeply in love with Marian at a time as well, they we're married for Pete's sake. He shook his head to clear his brain and get his focus back on his wife. He needed to try and figure out his feelings so he could stop hurting Regina.

He watched her with Roland. Gosh, how he missed how warm she is with him. Robin could see that Roland was trying to warm up to this woman he barely knew, and he was. Marian was always lovely especially with Roland as a baby. Watching her smile and feeling her caring touch on his hand, he started to remember how this all worked those many years ago. He had to admit to himself that he could most certainly be able to love this woman again.

Across town Regina had finally returned home. She had sat on that bench for a long time after Robin had left. She just thought about everything that was going to unfold in the days to come.

Would robin tell Marian about their relationship? How would she react? Maybe never want to see him again and leave him, she could only dream. How long will he need to figure it out? Could she wait? What if he chooses Marian?

Regina headed upstairs to get ready for bed and was greeted with the remnants of the night before. Robin had returned her heart and he had made it a point to see just how good she kissed with that wonderful addition. Some of his clothes were still around the room and she was transported back to when they ripped them off from each other's bodies. No care in the world. Just them. Two people over the top in love with one another and not even needing to voice it. Whether it was the right time or not, too soon or not. They knew.

Tears started to fall down her face. She grabbed all of Robin's belongings and threw them in a bag. She couldn't stand the thought of him not being here with her. She went to the bathroom and looked into the mirror. Staring at herself the tears fell at yet a faster pace.

You'll always be alone. You're not good enough for anyone. You don't deserve a happy ending. You're the evil queen.

These were the thoughts filling in her mind. She couldn't handle them, she needed someone to help clear the dark thoughts. And being alone with the memories of last night and what happened today was not safe. She needed to get out of this house. She couldn't be alone tonight. She needed to talk with someone, anyone, really. She didn't want to sleep in fears of dreaming about him.

She took out her phone. Wiped her tears and pressed send.

With a saddened tone she spoke, "Tink? Can we please talk? I think you would be the only one to help me."

I really hate writing her name because I am so infuriated that she's alive but again this is a little therapeutic writing happening so stay with me. I will try my hardest not to drag this out tooo long but I would like it to be more realistic (aka "show realistic") so the next couple chapters may be a back and forth type of style for the characters and their feelings. Don't forget robin still needs to tell M*r**n about his and Regina's relationship...
