I can't believe all the support this story has gotten! You Guys deffinetly made me want to continue. So here we go: Chapter 2.
"Hey my name is Regina Mills, I am the mayor of this town," Regina said as she kneeled down to be eye to eye to Robin. This was weird, it felt wrong to be so formal towards a man that she loved so much, that she had been hurt so much by and who would always hold her heart. Her soulmate.
"My name is Robin Hood," Robin said and looked surprised when Regina didn't comment on the fact that he was named after a disney character. Regina searched for any sign of the man she knew, but she couldn't find any. He looked utterly confused and did not recognize even the slightest.
"Robin can you tell me the last thing you remember?" She asked with a little smile trying to encourage him. She needed to know how he had done the impossible. And why he had done it.
"Well I live with my wife and my son. And I don't remember, but I do remember it felt like I was missing something. Someone, I'm not sure, and one moment I'm saying goodnight to them. And the next I'm in a car and my head is hurting, so I walked in here… And people start asking how I'm back. And what for and if the queen knows of my presence? And I don't understand any of it. And I need to get back to my family," He said so quickly Regina was having a hard time catching up. One thing she did understand was that he was planning to leave agian and it made her heart break into a million pieces again. She nodded.
"It might be a little late for you to go home now, but you can stay here until morning and I'll help you find a way to get back to your family," She said and stood up again. One thing was for sure this was hurting her, but she could not be selfish, not when she had done so much already for him to be happy.
"Thank you Regina," He said and smiled sadly. She could sense there was more going on then he was letting on. And as she was about to ask she heard a baby cry and instently she turned around.
"Regina she won't stop crying, I thinks she feeling fuzzy." Snow said and handed Regina her her baby girl. Regina smiled at her baby when she stopped crying feeling her mothers touch.
"Seems all the medicine she needs is her mother," Snow said with a smile. And Regina smiled down at her baby girl too. She had her father's blue eyes and his nose. But the rest was like seeing Regina.
"Hey princess. Are you getting sick?" She said nuzzling her nose with her baby girl. She didn't seem sick at all, she was probably just sad because she hadn't seen her mother in a few days and had missed her. And Regina had missed her too. "It seems you are better now," She said and winked at Snow.
"This is your baby girl? what's her name?" She heard Robin's voice behind her. She closed her eyes for a second. If he only knew, it was his girl too. But she couldn't tell him that, he didn't remember her and would think she was crazy if she told him that they had baby together.
"Yes. Reign," Regina said and turned around to face him. He smiled and nodded. "Her father's name is with an R, so I thought I'd give her an R too," Regina added and kissed Reigns forehead. Reign stretched her hand out signing that she wanted to hold her mothers hand. So Regina gave her one of her fingers on her free hand to hold onto.
"Sweet. My son is with an R too. Roland is his name. How old is this beauty?" Robin asked. And for some reason it warmed her Heart that they got along so well even though he didn't remember her, it felt so natural, like it always did with Robin.
"6 months old," Regina said and sighed. She was growing way to fast and before she knew it she'd be going to middle school like Henry where. And she didn't even want to think about what Henry would be doing when Reign went to middle school. "Do you want to hold her?" She asked him. She knew she was playing dangerous, making the pain worse for herself, but she just wanted to see him hold their baby girl just once.
"I'd love too," Robin said. Regina nodded and slowly and carefully handed Reign to Robin. Robin smiled brightly at their baby. And it warmed her heart watching the scene in front of her. He might not remember her, or that this was his girl. But it seemed like they fitted so perfectly together, and for just one moment Regina felt like that perfect family she had always wanted to have with Robin.
"Hey Reign," Robin said with a big smile, before making all sorts of faces that made Reign chuckle lightly. "You look very much like your mother," He commented looking up at Regina and then returning his attention to Reign. Regina couldn't help it from smiling at this. She was pretending everything was fine, her mind tricking her. And she was almost forgetting that he didn't remember her until he added: "Your father is a very lucky man," And Regina's smile faded realizing he in fact didn't even know he had anything to be lucky over. He didn't even remember that Reign's mother was her. And as if on cue Reign started crying.
"We should probably get you to bed sweetheart," Regina said as she lifted her daughter from Robin's arms. Reign kept on crying until Regina started rocking her in a soothing way. Making her fall asleep in Regina's arms.
"Snow would you mind making her ready to leave?" She asked her once stepdaughter. Snow nodded and Regina carefully handed her Reign so not to wake her.
"Mr. Hood, if you need anything this is my number and you'll call me. Otherwise I will come here tomorrow morning and we will find a way to get you back," She said with a smile and was about to leave, but something was stopping her. Something was holding her back.
"Unless you want to come to a late dinner? My son is staying with his other mother and Reign is asleep and I am terribly bad at eating alone," She said. Robin looked slightly taken aback by her invitation. After all she was inviting a stranger into her house. And she was, truly, but he didn't feel like a stranger to her.
"I'd love to, thank you," Robin said and stood up. "Thank you for the help miss Swan," He said and gave the ice package to Emma.
"You are very welcome," Emma said and smiled at Regina. "I'll send Henry to your place after school tomorrow. Do you have his backpack or has he taken it with him?" Emma asked.
"I'll come by tomorrow morning with it," She said with a smile before saying her goodbyes walking out to her car with Robin right behind her. Before she reached the car her phone started ringing. And her caller ID said: Little John.
"Little John. I am so sorry, I totally forgot about the get together. Something has come up, can I call you tomorrow? I'll explain everything," she said feeling a bit guilty she hadn't called him.
"Are you okay Regina? You sound a little off? Has something happened? Is something wrong with Reign or Henry?" He asked worried. Making Regina smile.
"we are fine John, really. I will call you first thing tomorrow I promise," she said before hanging up. And turning to Robin.
"Reign's father?" Robin tried. Regina laughed loudly at the irony in it. But of course Robin didn't understand why.
"Definitely not. He is a friend of mine." She said and sat down in the car. On the back seat where Reign already fastened in her baby stool. Robin sat down beside her in the car. And again for a short moment she felt the brief feeling of being a family again.
