Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Once upon a time. The OC character is mines. This is my first SQ story so I hope you guys like it. I'm just clearing this idea out before I write my next novel. Thanks for reading. xoxo
"So a guardian? A guardian of what may I ask?" Regina questioned.
"Wouldn't you like to know. You will know soon enough who I am, my Queen. I wish you know harm. I know full well your story. I have seen your…bad days first hand. I am not judging you, your life was unfortunately manipulated. Yet soon you will see your reward, of that I am sure. I know for a fact that you are destined for great things." The stranger said, noticing that the woman seemed to relax some after hearing it.
"And you know this how?" Regina returned to her breakfast waiting for the explanation of her confession.
"Soon enough my Queen, soon enough will you know everything." Robyn was sure of it.
Robyn could feel the dark ones powers in the area. She felt it the minute she stepped over the line. Robyn knew Rumple felt it to. Why hadn't he come to her yet?
Ruby laid the check down in front of the Mayor, but before Regina could open her purse Robyn instructed the waitress to put the Queens tab on her bill.
"Bribing the mayor already? You haven't even been in Storybrooke for one day." Regina pointed out.
"I may have been here only for a few hours but I've been around for a while. I'm just hoping it'll buy me enough time to allow me to walk you to your car."
"It has, but I didn't drive. I walked from home and was about to walk to work."
"Working on a Saturday? I thought I was the only one." Robyn chuckled.
"Well, it seems like the Mayors job is never done, but I usually take a half day on Saturdays. Sometimes if all is quiet in the town then I stay home."
They finished they're coffee and on the way out Robyn held the door open for her. Robyn connected eyes with Emma on the way out and mouthed, 'goodbye.'
Tinkerbell smiled brightly at the entire exchange between the two and realized that this just may be Regina's soul mate after all. Fairy dust was tricky at best. Maybe Regina's happy ending was closer than she thought.
However, no one saw Emma blush at the wink Robyn shot her on the way out.
"Would you like to take my truck or would you like to take a walk?" Robyn gestured to the large SUV in front of them.
"Even though its cold, its a beautiful day. I would like to walk if you dont mind."
"As you wish."
Regina pulled her gloves over her hands and crossed her arms. Her hands were always cold. She could've have just used a warming spell, but truthfully on the inside she was already feeling a little warm. Unexpectedly, Regina felt a hand tug at hers and let the woman tuck one of her hands into the crook of her arm. Regina had to admit the body heat of the other woman made her warmer. Very warm.
"So um, Henry is your son?" Robyn asked.
"He is." The Queen brightly smiled.
"So, why is does he call Emma, ma, as well?"
"That is his mother also."
"Oh, so are you two...?"
"Oh no, no. I'm Henry's adoptive mother. I raised him as a baby, but she is his biological mother. We kind of do the whole co-parenting thing." Regina nodded.
"So nothing going on romantically then?"
"Not remotely." Regina didn't know if that was good or bad. Her feelings on Emma were muddled at the moment. Well, to be honest her feelings on Emma were very clear.
"Really? Because it looks to be like you are secretly in love with each other. I know the looks when I see them. Her magic reaches out to yours and strengthens you when you are near her. Your magic comforts her, grounds her. What you two have is very rare. True love is staring you both in the face, yet you both bury it. Two of the most powerful natural born witches I've ever met and you are scared of an imagined rejection!" Robyn shook her head. Mortals.
"How did you—fine. I'm in love with her, but she's…taken. Not to mention the bad blood between her parents and I. It would be impossible, it couldn't happen." The Queen said as she looked off into the distance.
"Secrets are never meant to be kept unless it comes from the highest power in the land. You, my Queen have managed to live three lifetimes, but you are still mortals. Time is short. You two should talk. " Robyn said.
Regina was shocked. She was visibly stunned into silence. Just who was this Stranger?
"So how long will you be staying?" Regina asked, preparing herself for disappointment. Robyn was quickly growing on her. She didn't have many friends in the town.
"Well initially I came to find someone. I won't be leaving until I found him. Hopefully, I'll only spend a week or two here before I head back to my Realm. But now that I've met you, well, it depends on how much of chance of getting to know you and Emma better."
Robyn didn't want to spook the protective mother, but she felt a connection with Henry, almost…familial in nature. She needed to know more about the boy. Robyn missed a lot of history being in New York, she needed to catch up to speed.
"Getting to know us? So you want us to be friends."
Robyn shrugged, "Yeah, you know, getting to know you better, going on dates, maybe things like that. Of course, unless I've completely read you wrong and I've offended you."
"I'm not offended. I'm the Evil Queen, even if you did get a chance to date me, why would you want to?"
"Because obviously you aren't the Evil Queen anymore. Because I'm a good person, I can be a great friend and more. Because I have a big heart, I know you don't need protection, but maybe you want someone to defend you without a shadow of a doubt. I see Regina, a beautiful, powerful, intelligent woman. I never met the Evil Queen, but if she ever had a glimmer of the possibility of returning then I'd try my best to bring this Regina back. I am a powerful ally, who you might possibly have already wrapped around your finger." Robyn smiled shyly.
Then ended up in front of town hall, but neither knew the proper way to part.
"Since you walked here maybe I can pick you up and we can grab some food?" Robyn asked.
"I'd like that." Regina smiled.
"Great." Robyn smiled back cheesier than she intended. "Here's my number just call me in a few minutes before you're ready to leave. I don't want you to have to wait."
In the distance they heard the yellow bug pull up prompting the Mayor to take a few steps back.
"Sheriff Swan." Regina smiled.
"Madam Mayor." Emma smiled back. Regina could have sworn that she saw something in the look of Emma's eyes. How had she ever missed it?
The Mayor took one last glance at Robyn and smiled before turning to walk into the building.
Emma stood outside with the stranger for a few minutes before going in to drop of some paperwork for the Mayor.
Regina sat down at her desk and turned toward the mirror. She waved her hand and then commanded the mirror, "show me Robyn."
Appearing in the mirror Regina saw the newcomer and the Sheriff out of the side mirror of Emma's car. She listened as they talked.
"So would do you think about Regina?" Emma put her hands in her back pockets.
"She is quite extraordinary. I honestly had no idea how amazing she was." Robyn patted her heart. "You are amazing as well Emma. You are every bit of her Knight."
Emma shook her head and looked to the ground, "So you've noticed. Yeah, she's amazing, and out of my league."
"I told her how you felt. It wasn't hard to guess. Our aura's go crazy when are in the same proximity. You are in love with each other. Why hold back?" Robyn was thoroughly confused at this point. Did they not get it?
"Did she tell you who she was back in your world?" Emma sighed. "She, she already has a soul mate. He's gone but…but…I don't know.
"I already knew, but I don't care about that. Everyone has a past, but everyone deserves a second chance also. You both do."
"Well, if she didn't set you on fire then I'd say you've got a good shot." Emma laughed. "So far you are good with me. My super power hasn't went off since I met you. Which is odd, because everyone lies."
"Right. Well, I don't have to lie to because I have nothing fear from anyone." Robyn shrugged as if that was nothing. "Regina told me that you two share Henry, would Regina and I dating be a problem?"
"Not for me. Well, unless you hurt her, then I'd have to kill you. But uh, likely she'll probably want to keep it under wraps around the kid, 'cuz she'll be worried about how he'll react. She tends to overthink and worry a lot about stuff like that." Emma said.
"I will keep that in mind."
Although Robyn had to admit Emma was very beautiful as well. With a nice little butt and beautiful eyes to boot.
"I have to go before she throws a fireball at my ass." Emma smirked.
"Somehow I highly doubt that. You seem to think that she doesn't care for you the way you care for her. I think that is a grave mistake on your part, Miss Swan." Robyn winked.
The Stranger turned and walked back to Granny's.
Regina waved the mirror turning it back normal and wiped the water from her eyes.
