Black, it was all he could see. Pain, all he could feel. He made a promise to his wife, but he wasn't so sure if he could keep that promise. He heard her, of course he did, that sweet voice, now full of pain.

"Robin" he heard her say, her voice sounded like she had and was crying "Please wake up, we need you"

Regina, his Regina was in pain because of him, he tried, but his eyes wouldn't open. 'I love you and our child, Regina' he thought before consciousness left him once more.

Next time, he heard another voice, her father's. Henry Mills was whispering something to him.

"Robin, you need to come back" the man started "Regina needs you, your child needs you. I know you are a stubborn young man but you have to wake up and when you do, I'll kick your ass for being so stubborn" Henry said chuckling but Robin could heard a sadness in his voice.

'I'm trying Henry' he thought and lost consciousness once more.

"Robin, I know you and I started the wrong way" he heard the woman start "You are older than my daughter and I thought you wanted to take advantage of her. But now I know that you love her and the way she's suffering tells me that she loves you back" Cora Mills let out a sob, she was crying, she never cried "I hate to see Regina like this Robin, you have to wake up, you need to bring that goofy smile to her face and that shine in her eyes. I promise to cook all of your favorites foods if you wake up now"

'Cora, I want to, I really do' he thought. Unconsciousness called him again.

"Honey, I'll give birth soon, you know what?" She asked hoping he would say What? But he never did "Apparently our little one was hiding his little brother or sister. Twins, Robin, can you believe it?" She said the last word crying, oh, how much he hated to hear her cry "I'm so scared, what am I going to do with two babies? Please come back to me, come back to us"

'I'm trying, damn it, I need to open my eyes' he thought, but this time, instead of letting unconsciousness take him away he made an extra effort.

Light, a really bright light was the first thing he saw. Then, his beautiful wife with her head hidden by her hair next to him on the hospital bed, she was sitter on a chair that was lying next to the bed.

"So, twins?" Oh God, his voice sounded so bad, he needed water.

Regina's POV:

He made a promise to me, I need him, his children need him. Life was so unfair.

Tears were running down her face.

"So, twins?" She heard and suddenly she felt scared to look up, what if it was the product of her imagination? But when she looked up, she saw those blue eyes she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Robin?" She whispered.

"My love" he whispered back "water"

"What?" She asked confused.

"I need water, love" he said.

"Oh" she simply said, reaching for a glass of water. She should call a doctor "Here, but don't drink it too fast"

She watched him drink the water and then she made a move to leave and bring a doctor but he stopped her.

"Please don't go" he pleaded "I need the three of you here"

"Oh Robin" she said and started to cry "I missed you so much, I thought I was never going to see you again" he made her lay down next to him on the bed, it was awkward but he needed his family close.

"I missed you too, so much" he said kissing her head and with one hand caressing her belly "We're having twins, how come I left and we were having one baby and now we're having two?"

"It was too soon to see and later one was hiding the other" she laughed a little, and then growing serious "I need to go for a doctor now babe"

"Okay, but come back soon" he said and watched her leave but before she went through the door he said "Told you I was coming back love"

"Indeed you did" she smiled and left.

Months later:

The twins were already here, a boy and a girl, Henry Roland Locksley and Hope Cora Locksley.

Robin was discharged from the hospital a week and a half after he woke up from his coma. After his recovering Cora was true to her word, she cooked everything he liked. Henry, luckily, didn't, he celebrated, hugged him, thanked him for coming back to his daughter. Regina was more than happy, she had her husband back and thankfully he wouldn't be called back.

Now, now he was able to hold both of his children, his little thief and his little princess.

"Do you think they know?" He asked to his wife "What happened"

"Maybe, they cry all night and only calm down when you sing to them" she said from the rocking chair holding little Roland.

"I'm so thankful I didn't missed all of this" he whispered looking at his wife and son and then to the little girl in his arms.

"Even the diaper changing part?" She teased "I'm thankful too, I love you"

"I love you too" he said going next to her, the baby safely tucked in his arm "I love the three of you, and now I'll make another promise"

"Which one?" She said looking at him.

"I'll be with all of you, always" he promised.

And he kept it, he was always with her, with their four children and with all of his grandchildren. Death came like an old friend when both of their hair were grey, it came to take one and a few minutes later the other. They loved each other so much, they lived a very happy life. Now, now their souls are dancing together and loving each other even in another life.

The end...
