Dedicated to Agapi because she pushed me to update ;)
Six: A Change In Events
"Papa?"
Robin placed the last of the pancakes on Roland's plate, "Yes, lad?"
"Is Mama ever going to come back and live with us?"
Regina froze in her position, her eyes widening and then flashing towards Robin.
"Why? Do you not want to live here anymore?" Robin asked.
Roland shrugged and ate the rest of his food, "I love it here; I just miss her a little."
"Well, you can go back and live with her if you want to-"
"No, no. I want to live with you, Papa."
Robin let a large smile form on his face as he brushed his fingers through Roland's lively curls, "Whatever you want, m'boy."
Regina smiled and started to clean her area, "Are you excited to hang out with Snow tomorrow? You haven't met her yet."
"Why am I going to see her again?" Roland asked as he followed her with his dishes.
Regina turned to meet Robin's gaze - they both knew that they didn't have the truth to tell him. She sighed, "Well, your Papa and I have a very important meeting with your Mama so we can figure out some things."
"And why can't I come?"
Robin passed his dishes to Regina and took the boy in his arms, swinging him around and propping him onto his hip, "Maybe next time, but not tomorrow, alright?"
Roland nodded and let Robin see a toothy smile before he placed him back down in the ground and rubbed his head. Regina turned around and cleaned the rest of the table while Roland ran out of the kitchen, calling for Robin to come play with him.
"I'll be right there, Roland!" Robin yelled through the house.
"Okay, I'll be in my room!" Roland yelled back.
When Roland was no longer running up the stairs, Robin turned and trapped Regina in the corner of the kitchen. Both of his hands found each side of her body and he leaned onto the counter, so that she was forced to lean back and against the wall cabinets. He smirked at her, flicking an eyebrow up quickly and licking his lips, before she couldn't help but let a smile trickle forth upon her mouth. He leaned even closer - just close enough so his lips were ghosting above the soft spot on her neck, right under her ear - and he whispered, "We can play with our toys a little later, but for now-"
"For now, your son is still awake." she let a low laugh out of her mouth before her hands found his chest. Regina stared into his eyes, which were and most likely would always be from now on, full of desire for her, and said, "But what he doesn't see can't hurt him, right?"
He bit his lip and pulled her chin up so that their lips met, simple and slow at first. She passionately wrapped her arms around his back, pulling him towards her and deepening the kiss, while at the same time his hands found her hair and began to run through the morning knots. His tongue begged for entrance into her mouth and as soon as she granted him it, Roland called for Robin again.
Robin groaned as he pulled away from the kiss, sending Regina a pouty face as he pushed off of her body and swaggered back a few steps, "Later?"
"Later." she promised.
He nodded and let his cheeks fill with rosiness - an act of embarrassment for himself. Then, he trudged out of the kitchen, getting another laughed out of her, and headed up the stairs to play with Roland.
Robin stepped into the bedroom and shut the door, locking it and eyeing her down. She was lying on the bed with a magazine, in her pajamas - which happened to be a set of silk shorts and a tank. Her head shot up at the click of the lock and she raised an eyebrow at him.
"And you're here because?"
"Roland," he clicked his tongue and folded his hands behind his back before strolling towards the bed and stopping right in front if it, "Has fallen," Robin fell onto the bed and crawled over to her, leaning over her body and stealing the magazine from her hands, before throwing it to the floor, "Asleep."
She pushed her body down so she was right under him, "So, does that mean we can play now?"
"If that's what my Queen requests," he smirked, "Then, that's what she shall receive."
In seconds, he crashed her lips onto hers - something he had been yearning for and thinking about the entire five hours he was playing with Roland. Suddenly, every sensation that they had ever sparked, every kiss they had ever shared, and every limit they had ever reached, ignited his energy. He pulled her body up towards him and held her tight to his chest, one hand holding her back, while the other roamed her front. Robin had promised himself to make her feel worshipped, which was exactly what she deserved. In moments like these, nothing else in the world mattered except the two of them, their aligning breaths, and the speed at which they'd be moving. She tugged at the tie of his pajama pants, letting it loosen and untie in seconds. Then, she yanked at them, pulling them down past his hips and just above his knees before taking his jewel into her grasp. With her free hand, she felt up his chest and pushed him so he landed on his elbows as she worked her tongue on his jewel. Robin had never seen her so anxious to take him into her mouth before - it was like she had been waiting her entire life for this.
He groaned at her actions - all of which had been perfect beyond words - and let out her name quietly until he knew he was coming close. He pulled her up towards him and ripped the top of her pajamas over her head, before throwing it to the floor and exploring her chest. Not only had he felt like there were new things to be explored, but he knew he wanted to make her feel all the more pleasurable. He quickly lead his tongue to her nipple, taking it in and sucking it roughly, occasionally nibbling it with his teeth to get out low moans. She fell back into the pillows as his hands found the waistband of her shorts and his fingers slipped inside them to work her core at the same time. Soon, she was arching her back and moaning his name more frequently, and all she wanted was the feeling of him inside her immediately.
"Robin-"
"What, my love?" he said breathily, "Ask and you shall receive."
"I need you."
At her words, he took claim of her lips once more, sucked roughly and biting her flesh as if she was a meal for him to eat. Then, he moved to the spot on her neck and whispered to her before sucking that tender area, "Where do you need me, Gina?"
She let out a shallow breath beside his ear, trying to keep her moans inside of her, "Inside me, now."
"It would be my pleasure to fulfill your request," he said as he flung his pants to the ground and slowly entered her, "Literally."
Regina moaned as his full length made its rook inside of her before he started a steady pace, "Faster, Robin, I'm already so close."
"As you wish."
He obeyed her commands and fasted his speed, crashing into her like she wasn't the precious glass figure he'd normally classify her as.
They both reached their limits exactly at the same time, making him fall to his side and wrap his arm around her wet body. Them both - sweaty and happy - stared up at the ceiling for a few minutes and caught their breath. Only Regina turned to look at him, a smile on her face, which made him turn to look at her and lean into her space to steal another kiss - one that was loving and time stopping. She smiled into the kiss and propped her head onto her elbow, "Are you ready for tomorrow?"
"As long as you're with me," he smiled and brushed her hair behind her ear, "I'm ready for anything."
"I'm with you," she kissed him again, "Always."
They sat there for a good twenty minutes, staring at eachother and memorizing their happiness in that moment - a moment where there were no worries or pain, and a moment where there was only light and joy.
Regina stood to grab their clothes, flinging his towards him, before they got dressed and got back in bed to lie down. She folded her arms under her pillow and turned towards him so that she could fall asleep looking at him, which only made him feel even more happy to be there in that moment.
"I love you." he said.
"And I you." she whispered as her eyes fluttered shut. She hummed as she fell asleep, hum following her not too soon after.
Robin stirred in his position and turned onto his side, letting his one arm slide underneath his pillow and the other over Regina's body. His head was pounding like there had been an earthquake of its own happening inside and it was no match for the speed of bloodflow in his heart. Yes, he was nervous - the trial was happening in seven hours, 8AM. It was happening that day and nothing made him more nervous than the possible loss of his son.
His eyes flashed open, and he noticed the time on the clock - 1:20AM. With a quiet sigh, he closed his eyes and scooted closer to Regina - who was a beautiful image crawled up in a ball. She lied silently and peacefully, her chest rising and falling at a steady rate and her lips quivering occasionally. Robin pulled the comforter over her shoulders, and she grabbed it, wrapping it up to her neck and humming quietly. He let his one eye peek at glance at her, the angel at rest for once, and he let himself smile even though inside he was battling a war he didn't think he could win. His heartbeat began to steady at the sight of her peacefulness and once it did so, his eyes finally fell shut and he hummed.
In minutes, he was at rest.
An hour later - 2:20AM - Robin's eyes opened once more. It wasn't because of his nerves though, it was because of the annoying knocking on his front door. He was surprised that Regina hadn't woken up from it since it was so loud. He turned his head over his shoulder to make sure she was still peacefully asleep and warm before he stood from the bed and rubbed his eyes. Never had he gotten a visitor this early in the morning. Robin sighed as he tied his pajama pants and trudged out of the bedroom, leaving the door open just enough for some light to peek through. When he made his final steps down the stairs, the banging become more ferocious and he heard a firm voice yell, "Robin Locksley?"
As his hand fell on the doorknob, he saw Roland's shadow in the corner of his eye. Robin turned and saw his son, who was wrapped in a thick, red blanket and was sucking his thumb. His curls were a thick mess and he seemed frightened. Robin bent down and held out his arms, "Come here, m'boy."
Roland shuffled across the floor and into Robin's arms, letting his head fall on Robin's shoulder. As Robin's arms wrapped around Roland's small body, his trembling lip was calmed and his tears were dried.
"Why are you up, Roland?"
"The noises scared me."
"No need to be scared, you're a hero, right?"
Roland nodded before their moment was interrupted by another loud knocking. Robin put his finger to his lips, which told Roland to be quiet, before Robin stood and turned to the front door. He grabbed the knob and slowly opened the door, revealing a tough-looking policeman.
"Are you Robin Locksley?"
"I am."
The policeman shoved his hand into his pocket and pulled out a picture. He handed it to Robin and said, "You know this woman?"
As Robin scanned the picture, noticing that it was indeed his ex-fiancée Marian, Regina came down the stairs and let her hands find Robin's waist. She leaned her head on his shoulder before noticing the policeman outside and quickly bolting into a bucket of energy, "What's happening here, Robin?"
"I'm not sure," he said as he turned to the policeman, "This is Marian, yes?"
The policeman nodded, "Yes, we have her up at the station."
"Why?" Regina said, crossing her arms.
"Can I speak to you alone for a second, Mr. Locksley?"
Robin shook his head and wrapped his arm around Regina's waist, "Anything you need to say can be said in front of my wife."
The policeman nodded and sighed, "I'm just not sure it's appropriate for the little one, sir."
Regina turned and finally noticed Roland, who was now sitting on the floor with wide eyes and still sucking his thumb. Her mouth dropped before she turned back to the two men and nodded, leaving them to grab Roland's hand and bring him back to his room. She led him out of the living room and up the stairs.
"What's wrong with Marian?" Robin asked.
"She's been arrested, Mr. Locksley," he sighed, "Is it alright if I come in? You may want to sit for what I have to say."
Robin invited the officer in and shut the door behind him, before following him to the couch and preparing himself for the worst, "Well?"
"She has been taken into custody for constructive manslaughter-"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I understand this is hard for you to hear, but I can tell you the truth and only the truth."
Robin felt a drop in his heart that he never thought he'd feel for Marian again. However, being in this situation made him regret anything bad he ever said to her, "What actually happened? Did she hurt somebody?"
The officer nodded, "She was driving home from The Rabbit Hole at 1:12AM. We have a witness in custody as well and he is being interrogated as we speak. Apparently, from what I know so far, she left the bar extremely drunk and was offered a ride home but refused. Just a few minutes from her house, she ran through a red light and crashed into a car."
"How many were hurt?"
"One man was killed, sir."
"Oh my god." Robin's hand covered his mouth before he felt Regina's hands on his shoulders.
She rubbed them and sat down next to Robin, "Roland's asleep, what happened?"
Robin turned to her, "Marian was arrested; she killed someone."
"I also need to inform you that the custody trial is now undetermined as is Marian's fate. We have scheduled to meet up with a judge a week from now, but until then, she shall remain in the department's custody. The boy, on the other hand," the officer sighed, "Will have to go into the foster system unless-"
"Unless?" Regina cut in.
"Unless you agree to take full custody right now."
A/N: Long time since an update! HEY LISTEN, so I changed the direction of this story, and I'm sorry if you were really looking forward to the trial. I'm not saying that it isn't going to happen, but it just isn't going to happen right now. I thought that Robin and Regina were in a good place for what is going to happen in the next few chapters, and I hope you all stick with me and enjoy what I have started for you.
Review this if you don't mind.
