Hey everyone. So after this chapter there will be 2 more and an epilogue to round things off. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

They all sat down at the table awaiting for what Cora had cooked for them. Regina had offered to help her mother but Cora insisted she would be fine. Cora brought through a couple of dishes and placed them on the table. Regina smiled as she looked to see her mother had cooked lasagne, a dish Regina had taught her. "Smells lovely mother." Regina said giving Cora a smile.

"Thank you dear." Cora replied sitting down at the table. Everyone dished up some lasagne onto their plates and silence took over the table for a moment as everyone started eating.

"Cora this really is lovely." Robin said as he finished a mouthful of his lasagne.

"Why thank you Robin. This is the first dish of this world that Regina has taught me to cook, and about the only dish I can actually pull off without burning." Cora replied with a slight laugh.

"Well she has taught you well." Robin chuckled.

Silence took over them again and Rumple looked up studying Robin for a moment. He had been pretty quiet, taking everything in, listening to all of Robin's answers as Neal questioned him and he had to admit so far he was impressed and he liked the young man. He wouldn't totally admit that right now, still wanting to put a little bit of fear into the boy, he was Regina's father after all and he wanted the boy to be scared to even think about hurting his daughter.

"So do you enjoy your gardening job Robin?" Rumple asked.

Robin looked up, a little surprised at Rumple asking him something. He hadn't really spoken to him the whole night and he was worried he didn't like him. "I do yes. I love working outdoors. I suppose I am used to it…from the Enchanted Forest."

Rumple nodded. "I would say you would be. Do you miss the Enchanted Forest?" He asked.

"I suppose there are aspects of it that I miss…but there is so much of this world that I'm not sure I could live without now. Indoor plumbing being one." Robin said and everyone laughed a little.

"I share that one." David added in. "I'm not sure I could go back to how it was in the Enchanted Forest now I have experienced this world. Even though I do miss it a little."

"Every time I have been there I have been in danger." Emma added into the conversation.

"Yea but that's because every time you have been there you shouldn't have been there." Henry said causing everyone to laugh again.

"He has a point." Regina smirked.

"Alright so I have had a couple of magical mishaps. It happens." Emma shrugged. "Anyway I have no idea how you guys coped over there."

"We didn't know any different before." Regina shrugged her shoulders. Regina glanced over at Robin and then she reached over and placed her hand in his, giving it a light squeeze causing him to look of to her. She gave him a small smile which he returned.

"Do you think you and Robin would be dating if you were still in the Enchanted Forest mom?" Henry asked.

Regina tucked some hair behind her ear and looked over to her son. "I'm not sure Henry. Probably not."

"Why not?" He asked frowning a little at her answer.

"Well…If we were still in the Enchanted Forest I don't think we would be anything like we are today. I would probably still be annoyed at Mary-Margaret…we would probably still be feuding…Your Grandmother would probably still be in Wonderland…" Regina explained.

"And probably without my heart."Cora added.

Regina nodded her head and then continued. "Robin would be with his merry men, doing what he did…"

"Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor." Henry grinned and Robin chuckled.

"That's right." Robin smiled.

Regina rolled her eyes at them. "Things were different and would be different."

"I guess …" Henry said. He then looked over to Robin. "Did you ever try to steal from my mom in the Enchanted Forest Robin?" Henry asked.

Robin had just taken a another bite of lasagne as Henry asked that question. He choked a little and started coughing. Regina placed her cutlery down and rubbed his back. "Robin are you alright?" Regina asked.

Robin nodded his head as his throat started to clear. "Yes, yes I'm okay. Just didn't expect that question." He chuckled lightly.

"Sorry." Henry said biting his lip, holding back a smile.

"Oh no it's alright." Robin replied. "I can tell you that no I never stole from your mother…Never got the chance to…not to say we hadn't plotted to…" Robin said with a slight smirk at the end.

"Oh really?" Regina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well we had already stolen from the other royals around you. Did you not suspect you were next on the list?" He asked.

"I was too busy to worry about you and your merry men." Regina smirked and Robin laughed.

"You were a noble were you not Robin?" Rumple asked.

"I was yes." Robin replied looking back over to Robin. "My father was a noble. My father and I had a falling out however and I left…I never got to see him before he died."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that Robin." Belle said.

"It's okay. It was a long time ago and as I say we weren't really on good terms. I would have liked to make it up to him but my father was a stubborn man." Robin said. Regina placed her hand on Robin's arm and gave a gentle squeeze. Robin gave Regina a small smile which she returned. "Sorry I have completely ruined the mood." He said with a soft chuckle.

"Well we did question you about your family." Rumple replied.

A little later on after dinner everyone moved back to the living room. Regina and Cora were just gathering a few small snacks. Everyone else was sat talking. Robin sat near Rumple. He still felt very nervous around the man. Not only was he the dark one but he is Regina's father and that makes him quite dangerous.

"I know you were probably nervous about meeting all of us." Rumple said breaking the awkward silence between the two of them. "Especially Cora and myself."

"Well it is always a nervous experience meeting the family of the woman you love." Robin replied folding his hands in his lap.

"You really love my daughter?" Rumple asked.

"I do, yes." Robin said with a slight nod.

"And you do promise that you will not hurt her? She has been hurt enough in her life, by my own hand too." Rumple said. Robin could see the guilt and hurt in the man's face as he talked about hurting his own daughter. "I really don't want her to be hurt any more. She has been through enough heartache."

"I do not intend to hurt Regina. I wouldn't even dream about hurting her. I would hate myself for hurting her." Robin said.

"I am glad to hear that. Although I am sure you know if you did hurt her she has many people around her that would not take that well, along with the dark one and the queen of hearts as her parents." Rumple said with a slight smirk.

"Yes sir I am well aware." Robin replied with a slight smile. "And I am happy Regina has a family that would so viciously protect her."
