Chapter Six: The Spoon Thief
As soon as Regina had left work Robin took the next opportunity he had to call Sharon back. He had told her earlier he'd call the day after tomorrow but that was before he knew Regina would leave early.
"Hey Sharon", he said, "yeah she just went home so are you sure it isn't too much work? I mean I could make something as well?", he asked.
"Robin it's alright", Sharon said, "I got everything covered for the dinner as every year. You should know that by now and James and I would really be delighted to have Henry and Roland for the weekend so you can both relax at our cabin."
"I'm so glad you agreed to do this", Robin said smiling.
"Don't worry about it. We're happy to do it and you should know by now how much Regina and you and the boys mean to us."
"Thank you again", Robin said before ending the call with, "see you in a few weeks."
Robin almost bumped into Will who had been standing behind him giving him some kind of puzzled look as Robin looked at him and apologised for bumping into Will.
"What is it?", Robin then asked him seeing Will's look on his face.
Will exhaled, "I know it's not my business but I've always considered your family my family and when it comes to them it becomes my business", he was rambling by now but Robin had a slight idea where Will was going with it.
"Well", Will then said, "who's that woman you've been calling behind Regina's back recently? I do hope for your sake that it's not -", Will was almost raging by now and Robin couldn't hold his smirk in any longer.
"Calm down, Will", Robin said, "I'm glad you're so concerned about my family. And truly believe me I'd never do whatever you thought I might do to Regina and also our kids", he could see that Will was calming down whilst he himself kept talking to Will, "the woman I've been talking to is our kids' grandma."
Will was a bit confused now, "but I know your mum really well, mate. And she's not called 'Sharon' nor would you call your mother anything but mum'. And as for Regina's mother, you both have never brought her up, so I doubt it's -"
Robin decided to cut him off then, "it's Marian's mother. Technically they're only Roland's grandparents. But they've always treated Henry, Regina and me as family as well and to them it makes no difference."
"Oh", Will just said a bit embarrased now, "I didn't think they'd -"
"They've always been very supportive Will. And they've lost their daughter back then. Also they say that they also gained some more family members in the process.
I'll tell you more some other day", Robin said because they both should get back to work, "also I need you to cover for me on the Thanksgiving weekend. Regina and me will be visting them with the kids for the whole weekend. Which is partially a surprise for Regina. She knows we're going as we usually do but this time we'll be staying a bit longer. So please, don't tell her or anyone."
Will was smilling by now, "sure thing, Rob." He was feeling a lot better now knowing that Robin was not doing what he had initially thought he'd do to Regina but was actually doing quite the opposite by wanting to surprise his wife with a few days off.
Meanwhile Regina had been busy doing housework at home.
After she was done with the kids' room Regina walked into the kitchen. It was quiet because no one was home which was quite unusual.
But the boys were at a sleepover at Jefferson's and therefore they weren't home and so Ashley wasn't here either watching them and Robin was still at work.
She missed her little Prince and Knight, as they kept calling Henry and Roland. Robin had started it by calling her his Queen. He was planning on annoying her with it when he did it the first time but she liked it. And in return she called him 'her Thief'.
Henry had once asked his parents over breakfast why they didn't refer to daddy as 'King' when mum was the 'Queen'. Robin had jokingly answered that he's the Prince of Thieves (according to Regina) but it would be confusing to call him Prince because that title already belonged to Henry which is also why Roland was a Knight.
He then added that there's two types of becoming Queen. One was to marry a King which would make his wife (no matter her status) Queen. The other was being the daughter of a King (then following in her father's footsteps..).
If a Queen (either not having been married before, or widowed) would marry someone else (unless that person is a King already) the man would also only be a Prince. That man would never become King even though his wife is the Queen.
Therefore, Robin had told Henry, they didn't refer to daddy as King. Because according to Robin Regina had already been a Queen before she had met him. She didn't need a man to be a Queen, he had told their sons.
Roland had then asked why he was a 'Thief' though. And to that Regina had said that's because he kept on stealing all kinds of things like, kisses, her heart and more frequently spoons.
That earned her an, 'ewwww', from both Kids and a chuckle from her husband.
Regina was still wondering though what he did with all the spoons. She would ask him later on. Because so far she hadn't found out about it yet and it's been months since spoons started disappearing from the kitchen drawer.
Now though she was alone at home and he was still at work. She was busying herself making Lasagna for Robin and her for when he came home. It was his favourite after all.
She put the cutlery and their plates on the table together with their glasses and decided to put a candle as well.
The kids weren't there anyway so why not give it a bit of a romantic touch?
She checked her watch to make sure that the lasagna would only need a few more minutes and Robin should also be home in a bit. Then she sat down at the table and picked up the book she was currently reading that had been laying on the far end of the table as usual together with her reading glasses which she grabbed as well and put on before beginning to read. She placed her sock clad feet on Robin's chair (opposite hers) to be a bit more comfortable whilst waiting for him.
Robin had called Marian's parents back a few minutes after talking with Regina about what Marian's mother had just told him on the phone.
They had given him their address and phone number and were delighted that Robin and Regina would be visiting them the next day. They were living in a small town called Paris in Maine.
Due to the fact that it would take Robin and Regina about 6 hours by car to get there Sharon and James had told Robin that he and his wife and Henry would be welcome to spend the night at their house.
Of course Marian's parents didn't initially know about Henry's existence but this whole situation was something new for all of the adults involved and Sharon and James and always been very nice and honest with Robin (aside from not telling him he had a son but Sharon had said Marian didn't want them to tell him so it wasn't their fault he didn't know about little Roland) and so he decided to play with his cards open as well.
Also they would find out about Henry the next day anyway and Robin didn't want to surprise them any further.
Sharon had sounded really happy for him as he had talked about his little family and she couldn't wait to meet them.
Right after the phone call Regina and Robin decided to pack their bags for at least a day. Maybe two. They wouldn't need to take that much stuff for themselves but they also had their little sunshine Henry now and babies needed all sorts of things.
So after having dinner and having settled Henry in for the night Regina had started packing their things.
It was about half past nine when Robin came out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips and Regina was checking their suitcase and two smaller bags for the umpteeth time.
Regina was so lost in her thought about their little road trip that she hadn't even realised that Robin was back in the room.
He took the opportunity to sneak up on her and hug her from behind which earned him a squealing, „Rooobin", from his surprised wife.
Robin kissed her neck then before saying, „Sweetheart, you've for sure checked everything ten times by now. I think he we have everything we need and in case we did forget something I think we just might be able to buy it over there."
Regina relaxed and turned around in his arms, „you're right", she said looking up at and giving him a small peck on his lips.
At least it would've been that if Robin hadn't engaged her in a more fierce kiss and bluntly placed both his hands on her ass pulling her even more into him.
„Robin, we", Regina moaned before he took her breath away again in another kiss and then finishing for her, „can. Henry is asleep as of now and won't wake up for a while and if he does we'll hear it."
He was sucking on the exposed skin on Regina's neck by now.
„But you wanted to leave early tomorrow and you should be well rested for the drive up to Maine," Regina said and Robin chuckled lightly, „oh I will be very well rested in the morning", he said smirking at her.
Then he let go of her and walked back towards the bathroom in the process casually taking the towel from his hips so he was completely naked now and he heard his wife gasp lightly as he arrived at his destination and put the towel back to let it dry in the bathroom before exiting the room again walking towards his side of the bed.
„What are you doing, Robin?", Regina asked.
He knew her weaknesses. One of them being that she just couldn't resist him.
He wasn't a man who would force a woman into having sex with him. So if his wife didn't want to sleep with him he would never force her to do so. But that didn't mean he wouldn't try to tease her into it.
It was just too much fun for him. And he also knew very well that she wanted him as much as he (evidently) wanted her right now.
„Huh?", he asked, „I was just putting the towel back to where it belongs."
Regina groaned lightly.
„You don't really like it if I just drop it somewhere on the floor so I thought I'd do you a favour."
Oh Regina knew that two could play that game so as Robin sat down on the bed she just casually walked past him towards the hamper to put the clothes in that she was still wearing. Very well knowing that Robin would enjoy watching her do so a lot.
„Favour?", she asked him when she eventually turned back around towards him, by now fully naked.
Then she walked back towards the bed and sat down beside him. She let her eyes wander to his by now very hard member and then looked back at his face again, „I think there's some situation that we should take care of."
Robin moved closer to her then and kissed her once again. He had her moaning soon after and at one point pushed her down on the bed as his hands started to wander down her chest.
He then let go of her mouth and said, „there's something else I'll take care of first though", before trailing down kisses along her neck and chest. Forgoing her nipples which he knew she wouldn't like much but he had to tease her somehow. He simply moved further down in an almost straight line until he arrived at her clit which he circled with his tongue a few times.
A moan escaped Regina's mouth as Robin placed her right leg on his shoulder keeping it in place with his left arm which drew small circles on her lower belly as he reached out for her folds with his other hand.
She couldn't help herself but let her left hand wander through his hair.
His index finger was going back and forth through her slit now and they both knew she wouldn't last long because she was already way too close.
A playful „oops", escaped Robin's mouth as he slipped his finger inside her.
„I", Regina tried.
„You?", Robin asked her innocently still licking her clit and pushing a second finger into her and moving both of them in and out.
„I swear-", Regina started again but was cut off by her own moan which made Robin chuckle.
„You what?", he asked and knew just how close she was.
She wasn't going to win this. She was going to come any moment now.
„Robin!", she cried out in extasy as he slowed down his movements but still continued them for a bit.
She was panting then as he removed his fingers and licked her folds along with his tongue before crawling back up to her.
Before she even had the chance to say something or open her eyes he was kissing her. Not even asking for entrance to her mouth but demanding it. And she let him and could taste herself on his tongue.
She felt his erection pressing against her right leg then and took him by surprise as she rolled herself on top of him. Straddling his lap.
Before he could even register what she was doing she was already gliding down on him until he filled her completely.
„Re", Robin was panting, „gina", as he put his hand on her hips.
As much as she enjoyed teasing him she was teasing herself with this as well and therefore started to move her hips up and down.
She had just come down from her first orgasm only moments ago but she was already close to having another one.
„Robin, I'm-", she said therefore but was cut off by him, „close. I can feel it", he finished for her as he felt her walls contracting around his manhood more, „just let go."
And that was all it took for her to come a second time. Her legs were almost feeling like jelly now so she was glad he was steadying her with his hands but also helping her keeping their pace.
He was close. So close now as well but he wanted her to come down a little bit because he wanted her to, „come again", he said after a few seconds.
Regina couldn't believe her ears.
He had just sent her over the edge a few seconds ago and the man wanted her to come again? But it was then that she felt it. He would get what he wanted. She could feel another orgasm building up inside her.
Robin must have felt it as well, „let go", he said and that was all it took for her to once again cry out his name in pleasure. This time taking him with her over the edge.
She had no idea where he took the energy from but he was slowly trusting them through their high before pulling her flush down against his chest and slipping out of her and kissing her in the process.
Regina moaned against his lips as his tongue licked her bottom lip, begging for entrance. Which she granted him more quickly this time.
It was her who broke the kiss after a little while, smiling, „we should sleep though. Don't you think?"
Robin gave her a small peck on her lips, „you're right", before getting both of them a little more comfortable so her head was resting on his chest now and she was laying half on top of him. Her right leg inbetween his legs using his body as a pillow.
It didn't take them long to fall asleep.
An hour after they had fallen asleep Robin heard Henry's whining through the baby monitor. He tried to get out of bed before Regina would wake up but as usual that didn't work out as he had planned.
„Go back to sleep", he said giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, „I'll go and check on him."
About half an hour later Robin had managed to feed Henry and made him go back to sleep. He silently walked back to his and Regina's room and found that luckily she had fallen asleep again as well.
He crawled back into bed and softly placed her head on his chest his arm resting on her back.
Robin was really lucky having his small little family and he was a bit nervous about what was to come.
So he had a son. Another son. A son that Marian had never told him about and he was wondering why not. He stopped wondering about that quickly though. He'd likely never know why. All he knew was that she never told him about Roland.
But now he knew and he didn't know what would come next.
Sure Sharon had said something about him raising Roland possibly but would that mean he'd live with them from now on? What would Regina think? Would that work out for everyone involved? What if Roland and Henry wouldn't get along? Or Regina would not really be as happy with the whole situation as she was saying she would be?
Not that he thought she wouldn't be. But he couldn't be angry at her in case she wasn't. They were all thrown into a new situation. Something that would change their lives forever. Would they be ready for it? And what was the best for Roland?
Robin's head was spinning and he had to remind himself that he wasn't alone in the situation. He had Regina who would be by his side and he also knew that Sharon and James would be as supportive as they could be.
It would be a lot for all of them but he was sure they'd get through it together.
He couldn't fully get all the nagging thoughts out of his mind though. Eventually exhaustion took over and he finally fell asleep.
