Regina was sitting on the lawn, reading once more the last page of Robin's notebook.
"I love her, I love her so much that I feel that my hear doesn't fit in my chest. I've loved her since I saw that scared little girl in the woods; from that moment I knew that our souls belonged together, that I was his and she was mine and that that was never going to change. In spite of everything that we have gone through, and despite all the time we spend looking, losing us and finding us again, I know that we are going to be together until the end. I belong to her, I have her name engraved on my body and my heart, telling me that she is my owner and I cannot deny it. And the truth, from the bottom of my heart I hope to be hers forever.
I love her, I love her and I can't deny it. I love her and I can't help it. I love her as if our love was written in the stars and the entire universe couldn't deny that we are destined to be together. Always."
She smiled and let a couple of tears escape while she closed the notebook.
"Mom!" She listened behind her.
Regina turned her head and saw two boys walking towards her. Both were tall, but taller was the boy who wore long wavy hair, with beautiful brown eyes behind long lashes. Regina smiled at Roland and before she could get up, he and Henry were beside her, sitting on the lawn. Henry was practically the same, that sharp face and protruding nose, his dark, short hair and a small beard adorning his cheeks.
"How was the trip?" Regina asked her children.
"It was quiet," Henry replied, putting his hands in his jacket pockets.
"How is school going?"
"College is fantastic" Roland commented with a smile "Although some of the teachers are heavy."
"And you still have a way to go, little brother." Henry ruffled Roland's hair and the boy hurried to put him back in his place.
"Sorry I'm late."
The three of them turned back and watched as a girl with long dark hair, with almond complexion and beautiful big gray eyes approached them. She was slim and moved with agility wearing high-heeled boots and a leather jacket. The girl leaned on the floor and kissed her mother on the cheek.
"What made you came late? Honey" Regina asked caressing her daughter's hair.
"Basically, I'm not that good wearing high-heeled shoes to walk through the woods" the girl replied with a smile.
"You wouldn't have that problem if you decided to wear sneakers or normal boots" Roland said.
The girl grimaced and fisted her brother's arm.
"Easy guys" Reprimanded Regina "I'm glad we're all here."
The four putted their eyes in front on tombstone with Robin Hood's name on it. Regina's eyes filled with tears as she felt Roland and her daughter take her hands and Henry placed his hand on her back.
"We miss you dad" Roland said with a lump in his throat.
After the death of his father. Roland had decided to stay with Regina and she raised him as her own son and for him, there was no other mother but Regina.
"I'm so sorry I didn't meet him" the girl said with a whisper.
Regina took her daughter's hand and gave her a small smile.
"I know it's hard, honey. But he sacrificed himself to save us."
"I know, that's why I carry his name."
Robin smiled and leaned on her mother's shoulder. Regina could see in her daughter's eyes the man she loved so much and felt that in some way it was the way she could be connected to him forever.
They say you die twice, the first time when you stop breathing and the second time when someone says your name for the last time. Robin wouldn't die at all, not now or never; because he was engraved in the hearts of his children and his beloved. Robin was a name that would never be forgotten.
