WOW.

You truly are the best readers of ALL. I can't never thank you enough for all the love and support I had. It brought tears to my eyes, and I can assure you it was happy tears this time! I was touched, really touched by how you stood up for me when I needed it, how you were there when I needed you all.

July 25 - Teach me; up to your interpretations.

I don't know how.

Robin could see Regina was happy.

He could see it in the way she smiled when he kissed her. He could see it in the way she sighed in a content way when in the morning he hold her closer to his chest. He could see it in the way that elusive smile of hers wasn't so elusive anymore.

Robin could see she was happy.

But he could see something else, too.

Fear.

He could it when he kissed her and her eyes stayed on him a bit more than necessary. He could see it when in the morning, he hold her closer to his chest and she gripped him like he was going to disapear. He could see it in the way that elusive smile of hers wasn't elusive, but didn't last too long either.

They had been together for almost a year and despite how hopeless their situation had seemed at first, they had made it.

Together.

Robin came in the kitchen and saw the love of his life sat on the table with a glass of wine, looking faraway. He sighed and leant on the doorframe, looking at her.

She was so beautiful. He loved her so much, he didn't think he could love her more and yet, here he was falling a bit more in love with her everyday.

Robin was so glad she took him back, so glad she was willing to forgive him and try to save what they had.

He couldn't have made it without her.

Regina must have felt his presence because she looked up and this radiant smile he was in love with came into view. Robin smiled too and walked to her,

"My love." he breathed, leaning in to kiss her and she cupped his cheeks.

"My thief." she breathed against his lips and he chuckled, pecked her lips once more before sitting by her side.

"What are you doing?" he asked and she sighed.

"Thinking."

Robin frowned a bit and took her hand, forcing her eyes to meet his.

"About?"

A small silence settled and then she intertwined their fingers together.

"About how happy I am."

Robin smiled and brought her hand to his lips, kissing it reverently.

"I am, too." he said and she smiled, blue eyes locking onto brown and the man frowned again. "Regina, I may be wrong, but happy should involve you looking more..." he stopped and she raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile on her lips.

"Happy?" she said and he chuckled before bringing her closer to him, one of his hand playing with her hair while the other still held her hand.

"Yes, that would be it."

"I am happy, Robin." she said firmly. "I am."

"But"

Regina took a deep breath and then he saw it again, this fear in her eyes.

"But for how long."

"Oh my love..." he breathed and shook his head but she still spoke.

"For how long?" she said again. "For how long until you're being taken away from me, once again? I..." her voice broke. "I couldn't take it, Robin. I couldn't."

Robin then took her into his arms, squeezing her tight until she ended up in his lap, her face buried in his neck.

"We'll be alright, Regina." he breathed in her ear and felt her hold on his shirt tighten, "I promise we will. Everything's gonna be fine." then he receded and cupped her cheeks, wiping the tears away with his thumb tenderly. "I'm not going anywhere. You need to let yourself be happy." he murmured and she leant into his hands, closed her eyes a few minutes.

"I don't know how." she whispered and her voice broke. "I don't know how , Robin." her eyes met once again and he leant in until their foreheads met. "All my life had been about getting my happy ending, but I never thougt-"

"About what you'll feel when you finally get it." he ended and she nodded against his skin.

"And now that I got it, now that I got you, and our family, I am so afraid I'm gonna lose everything. Again."

"You aren't." he cut her firmly and he heard her snort of disbelief, forced her to look at him once again by cupping her cheeks. "You aren't going to lose us, Regina." he said again. "You need to believe in this, you need to let yourself be happy. You need to learn how."

She looked at him then, and her brown eyes were wide and vulnerable it made him bring her closer to him, always closer ( she was never close enough, anyway) and then, she asked.

"Teach me." His eyes widened and he opened the mouth but she cut him, cupped his cheek and smiled so lovingly he felt his heart beat faster. "Teach me how to be happy, Robin. I know you can. I trust you."

He smiled then, this dimple smile she was in love with and he nodded, slowly.

"I will." he breathed. He leant in again so their lips were inches apart. "For you, I'd do anything."

And then he closed the distance between them and kissed her.

Robin made good of his promise.

And little by little, time helping, Regina began to accept that she too had a right to be happy. She began to stop jumping at the mere noise; she began to stop gripping Robin so tight when he held her... She began to understand. That Robin was going nowhere without her, that her family was fine, that everything was just perfect.

And that it was going to stay this way forever.

And some years later, at their wedding day when they are dancing together; her hands around his neck and his around her waist, Robin leant in so their foreheads met and in a whisper, he asked

"Are you happy, my love?"

"Yes." she breathed, closing her eyes and just enjoying him and this feeling she couldn't get enough of.

"Are you afraid?" he asked then and she smiled before one of her hand went on his beating heart. They receded a little so blue eyes met brown,

"Not anymore." she breathed and he gave her his dazzling smile before leaning in to kiss his wife.

Yes,

Everything was perfect.

And it would stay that way.

Forever.

I am sorry you are unhappy in your life. Truly, I am. Whatever it is, you have to focus on light and nothing else. Things will get better.

But that doesn't change a thing, I am sorry, but these are my stories and I am allowed to write them as I want them to be. You don't have to read it if you can't, I would understand that.
