I'm sorry, I am so sorry... +
Regina was preparing her meal when the door bell rung. She hummed slightly as she went to open the door.
"I'm coming!" She shouted as the person started to knock on her door. She opened and was surprised to see that person there, in Boston, on her doorstep.
"Robin?! What are you doing here? How did you even cross the line? How did you find me?" Her hand flung automatically on her stomach, in the most protective of ways. What she didn't notice was that her pregnant stomach wasn't there, where once was a baby, now there's nothing.
"Rumplestilstkin told me in order to safe himself from years in prison for murdering Zelena. Would you mind if I come in?"
"Wait? HE killed HER?" Her voice broke down a little but she opened the door wider, letting him in. He went into kitchen, which was weird considering that he was in her apartment for the first time.
"Yes, now let's cut the chit chat. I'm here for my child." Robin said angrily.
"What child?" she asked and as if on cue, baby crying was heard from the nursery. Robin pushed her out of the way and went in to take his child.
"NO!" Regina yelled as she got up and ran after him. He was on the door ready to exit, when he turned around, looked right at her glaring and said "Don't worry, Regina. Marion and I will take great care of the baby, she'll play with Roland and Henry, grow up in Storybrooke and the best of all she won't know a thing about you, she won't know what kind of monster you are!" He then exited and slammed the door.
"NO! NO! NO! My baby!" Regina cried and screamed.
Regina screamed and then it was all gone, she was back in her bed, her baby safe and sound, still growing inside of her.
"It was just a dream. Calm down, Regina, it was just a dream." She said and went to the bathroom. She splashed her face, cold water against her face soothed her it gave her proof that that was just a dream, she drank some water and went back to her bedroom. She looked on the clock and it read 5am, as she wasn't going to get much sleep anyway, she put on the most casual clothes she owned, a pair of creamy white pants and a simple, short-sleeved, white T-shirt.
Boston was relatively quiet at 5 am, she could see light appearing in some houses that marked that people were waking up. She walked for around fifteen minutes and was finally where she was headed. She looked as delighted as the first time she stumbled across that place, it was a small hippodrome with one big stables and one race track, it wasn't the biggest or the best hippodrome in Boston, but she liked it because it was quiet opposite of the city streets that are urban, and with a lot of people on them. This hippodrome was tucked in, separated from the rest of the town even if it was so near to the centre.
She thought it would be open and her thoughts were confirmed when a middle-aged woman exited one of the buildings.
"Regina, good morning." The woman knew her, the whole staff knew her because she was different from the other customers, she'd stick around and help the staff around the horses, sometimes she'd even show them what are they doing wrong and corrected them, but they all loved her.
"Good morning." She responded with a smile.
"What brings you here at this hour? I hope everything is okay with the little one." The woman waved her hand at Regina's stomach and smiled back politely.
"Just a nightmare, the little one is doing just fine. Would you mind if I took one of the horses today? I mean ride it and care for it, I'll pay for it." No matter how much time has passed, horses calmed her, they brought some peace into her.
"Of course, you don't have to pay, we all know you, you are almost one of us. I'll have breakfast waiting for you around 9?"
"Yes, 9 is good." Regina smiled, it wasn't a small smile or a fake one, it was a big genuine smile.
"Then that's done. And Regina? You should smile like that more often." The woman said and left.
Regina went into the stables and noticed that there was a new horse. She neared him and could hear him neighing.
"I wouldn't get close to that one." A stable boy behind her warned her.
"Why?" Regina asked turning around to see who was she talking to.
"Oh, Regina, didn't know it was you. We just got the horse, he's still wild at times."
"He's beautiful, I'm going to take him out." Regina said and went closer to the horse. It lifted it's front hooves at her but she didn't even flinch. She carefully put her hand in front of him to calm him down, he put down his hooves and she carefully stroked his head, running her other hand across it's mane.
"I think we are going to be just fine." Regina said, the sentence had more meaning then just the horse and her being fine but also her baby and her.
"Wow, that was one of the most amazing things ever! How did you do that? Can you teach me?" The boy asked enthusiastically.
"It's not something that can be taught, you need to connect with the horse, get him to trust you then after that everything else is easy." She said as she groomed the horse, soon the horse was ready to be ridden and she sat on him and rode for the first time in years without a saddle feeling free like her eighteen year old self would every time she'd ride Rocinante bareback who was going to meet Daniel and was able to get away from her mother at least for two hours.
Okay, I am sorry that this wasn't OutlawQueen-ish much, I just feel like this is something she would do, Daniel was a huge part of her life and I think that she'd only feel free when she'd ride because you can see her love for horses, that way she can be alone with her thoughts just thinking about her life and her child. The next chapter is going to be more about Robin and also Regina finding out the truth about Zelena and I think that after that one(or the one after that) we are going 3-4 years forward(I'm so excited for that)... And also about the whole Zelena thing I've decided to bring her in the story but she'll be different, you can still say what you feel about that... Review or PM me what you think! Sorry for the long AN I'm gonna stop now... Thanks for reading!
