Okay STOP! Stop before reading this and go back to the previous chapter where I have listed Robins thoughts! I think there is a nicer flow reading these two compainon snippets that way! So be gone with thee!

If you have read Robin's Thoughts already and read to proceed with the feel's fest, then by all means! I present you with Regina's feels! Much love, Ruffles

She couldn't breathe.

She couldn't think.

She couldn't believe it.

All she could do was feel.

Feel him, feel his hands holding her waist, picking her up, running smoothly over her, caressing her cheeks. He was gentle yet there was a strength to his hold. He wrapped his arms around her and all she could do was feel.

She could feel his heart, beating under his strong chest, to the frantic off-beat rhythm that was a perfect harmony to her melody. She pressed herself against him, gripping his wide shoulders, running her hands through the dirty golden hair that she had come to love about him. The smell of the tall pine trees and the oaks of then forest overwhelmed her, invading all of her senses. And all she could do was feel it. Feel him.

She felt everything and nothing all at once. The pull she had felt towards him, her soulmate. The pull that had nearly drowned her and pulled her under when his dead wife had come back to life, was pulling at her again. Tugging, tugging at what was left of her resistance. And she let it. Finally deciding to let it. To let it all go.

She kissed him back, pouring everything that was her into the kiss.

The good, the bad. The parts that made her believe that maybe somehow she could be redeemed, that there was something good buried underneath all of then layers of scars that the darkness had left on her heart. And the parts of her that she had hidden away, even from herself. The parts that he had loved, the parts that had been broken and brushed away. The ones he had polished and glued back together, putting her back together, making her whole again.

She gave him everything.

Everything. And it scared her. She couldn't help but feel the doom building around them, caving in on them. But for a moment she pushed it back, pushing it all back. And she felt.

She felt her love for him be she projected it through her lips. Kissing him and holding him close.

In that moment she could do nothing but feel. And she felt good.

do you think I should write a what happened after the kiss in the vault one shot? if so, please leave it in the comments! x
