Sorry this has taken so long I am still not happy but i will go over it later and edit it. My compuer has broke so I had to find other ways of updating. It should end up going into everything in more detail as well when I update it.
After a loving embrace, one full of happiness and hope over their baby and him being back. The now over joyed pair moved into the living room, they needed to talk. In the time Robin, had left, Regina had suspected, correctly that they were having a baby and he wanted to know about it. Robin felt like he should have been there, throughout the time she had been suspicious of the pregnancy.
They sat down on the cream, coloured sofa that had its back facing the bedroom bodies twisted slightly so they could face each other. In the first time in weeks Regina finally relaxed into the sofa, allowing her body to soften and her bones go limp. It was a nice change to the rigid, tense feeling from the second half of the month. She smiled as she looked at her husband before beginning.
"As you know just before you left I missed my period, we said that maybe it was just a false alarm and to wait to see if I had one." She shrugged, indicating there wasn't much to it. "So, I guessed I might be, and as time went on I had this feeling, it was hard to explain. But I knew-." She paused. And then looked deeper into his eyes. "I was too scared to confirm it." Robin placed his hand onto her arm, rubbing it soothingly.
"I'm sorry I put you through that." He admitted. A slight sadness which Robin was trying to hide, he felt guilty. But he knew he had to leave her for those weeks, and at least he had because who knows what would have happened to him if he didn't. Missing a few weeks of his wife's pregnancy was better than missing his child's entire life.
She shook her head. "You're here now."
"You know I wouldn't have done it if I didn't have to?"
"I know." She smiled gently to reassure him.
"How about the kids, Roland. What do they know?" He asked, worried about what his son would know. He didn't want to confuse the kid, thinking his daddy was gone, passed away for good. Only to find out he was still alive, it would confuse him.
"I told Henry, but Roland I… couldn't tell him. I just said you was gone, not coming back." She sighed. "But you do love him." Robin's saddened expression grew, he couldn't believe what Regina had been through, she had to try to tell his son that he was dead. She couldn't.
"I wish you didn't have to go through that, I wish I could go back…"
"You are here, that is what matters." Regina replied quietly, she didn't want Robin to feel bad about it. He was back and she wanted to spend every moment of her time with him happy, not worrying about the past. She had accepted he had to do it. He didn't need to explain to her, she knew the job he had taken. Knew there was things he had to do and say that she wouldn't know about. Yes, it had an impact on her. But he was back and that was what mattered.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
He moved his hand up to her cheek, gently caressing the smooth skin. Bare of makeup, she was beautiful Regina didn't need the mask and he had told her that many times. But at least he got to see the gorgeous person underneath.
She moved forward at the touch of his hand and pressed her lips gently to him. Her hands going either side of him, on his arms. As they shared a soft, but passionate kiss one they had both wanted since he had revealed to her that he was alive.
The kiss slowly grew with passion as their bodies started to press closer together and tongues were added, searching the familiarities of each others mouths. Fighting for control once again. His hands worked over her sides as he ran his hands down them, touching her clothed body, missing feeling her body. Regina's hands resting on the strong, flexing muscles.
She broke the kiss, for a moment her breath was heavy as she regained air. Her now darkened eyes looked toward Robin as she stared into the darkened blue seas.
"Let's take this into the bedroom?" Regina asked as her husband nodded and guided her into the room, locking the door. He knew that they weren't expecting the kids home until later, but in case they fell asleep or decided to have a shower after Robin knew it would be best that nobody found out he was back by walking into the room. They needed to find out gently, it was going to be a shock.
Once that was done, Robin wrapped his arms around his wife's still small frame, hands flattening against the small of her back. As she smiled and looked up into his eyes, despite her heals she was still slightly smaller, probably because she had exchanged her high ones for something a little safer for pregnancy since she had thought she was.
There was lust and passion flowing between the couple's eyes. As he moved a hand from her back to her face, taking a cheek into it and just spending a minute looking at her. Having her back with him. And then Regina moved forward, brushing her soft bare lips against his as they shared a new, gentle joining of lips.
Once the couple had had a shower they walked back into the Livingroom, Regina and Robins parents were coming over at the same time to drop the boys off and they were due to now. They were going to reveal to them then their friends about Robin being back. Then tomorrow the public. They were going to wait about the baby, Regina and Robin wanted that between them and the doctors.
They cuddled together on the sofa as they waited for the welcome of their parents, which they knew would be Roland running into the family area of the house. And at that thought the door opened and there was the running of tiny feet and then obviously, Roland had seen Robin because there was the loud shout of 'Papa'. Robin stood, bent down and the little boy ran into his father's arms.
Regina stood from her place also, as she watched the two be reunited. Roland might have not understood what had happened but the two of them did. And then as Regina looked up she seen the shocked looks of her and Robins parents, and a small smirk from Henry. He was defiantly a smart kid; how did he manage to work this stuff out? How did he get all the information to find out Robin was alive from TV shows and movies?
Regina placed her hand on Robins upper arm, a silent plea to get him to notice the others in the room who now needed addressing. Robin lifted his tear-filled face to his wife as she did a nod in the direction of the family, despite wanting to bend down and hug him at seeing the happy but sad look of disappointment in himself at what he had done to his son. Robin turned his head as he was greeted with his family.
The man gently let go of his son and stood, looking at the people in front of him.
"I know this is a bit of a shock-." Robins father crossed his arms, a scolding look on his face. Robin might be the President, he was still Robins dad and still had the right to tell off, or rant at his son.
"Damn right boy." He stated as he continued. "Do you know what you put Regina through?" He pointed at Regina. "What you put your mother, and me through." Robin sighed and looked down like a kid who had been told off. He looked back up, trying to fight the tears. Robin knew he had hurt Regina, he knew he had hurt his family. He hadn't want to do it, more than anything. He could only hope his family would understand. He looked at his father before apologising.
"Not good enough." Robins mother put a hand softly against his father's chest in a silent ask to stop before she dropped it and looked at Robin.
"Let him explain, I am sure there would be a reason." She knew Robin, and she always seen the good in people. Something Robins father also could do when he wasn't angry, and something Robin also did. Probably because of them.
Robin once again sighed and began talking. "Your right, there is a reason I did it. A reason I faked my death-." He was interrupted by Regina.
"Robin wait." She looked at Henry, she didn't want the boys around to hear this. Henry was becoming a grownup, and he might have known but she didn't want him in this mess any more than he was.
"Henry, can you take Roland to your rooms and keep him there for a bit?" The boy nodded, understanding why his mother didn't want them around, he was a good kid. Robin smiled at both Regina and the boy, thanking them for thinking about the youngest child, and not wanting to add the oldest to the mess. Henry asked Roland to go with him and the boys went off.
"There was these people, they wanted to kill me. Or more importantly, kill one of you in order to get at me. It wasn't safe for me, or you for me to be around while they found them." He explained to the now silent room, all of them staying quiet for what felt like minutes before Cora spoke up.
"I think we can all understand that." She spoke up, looking around the room. She did have a way about her that would mean she was always the one to break the silence in situations where everybody didn't know what to say, or if they should speak next.
Reginas' father, and Robins' parents all gave silent nods as Regina just stood there listening to all of them. She and Robin had pretty much already had this conversation, experienced the anger and hurt his parents were right now before he had told her why it had happened. So, she wanted them to have their moment. So, they could get past this phase as much as possible, and understand it was for the best.
They continued to talk and eventually Robin had got through to them that it was for the best, saying goodbye to their parents. Regina and Robin were alone with the boys, who were still in their rooms.
"Roland, Henry. Can you come in here please?" Soon she heard the running of small feet and the thudding of larger walking as the two boys entered the room, of course Roland first.
"I was thinking." She turned her head to Robin then back to the boys. "We should all spend some family time together, Tink, Mary Margret and David are coming over in a bit. Until then we can spend some time together." Henry who was turning into a moody teenager moaned irritated as Roland bounced on his feet as excited as he was.
So, they all sat down and Robin caught up with the boys who told him everything that had been going on. Robin was very proud at both boys at how they had handled him not being there.
Henry looking after Regina when he could. The boys were doing well at school and all of Henrys projects were getting Bs and Cs one even getting a A+ and A few others getting As. He showed Robin a bit more of his school work. They had been doing a few tests recently, nothing majorly important. Just to see if they were in the right group and how they were doing with work. Henry had been told due to the situation he was in he didn't have to do them yet. But the young man had insisted he did and got several Bs and As putting him in the second to top group in most of his lessons.
Roland had been getting on well with the other students and his Numeracy and Mathematics were getting better, He knew how to take away and add big letters and could divide smaller ones. He also knew his 2,4,5 and 10 times tables. He could read smaller words in children's books and like henry was in the higher groups. He was doing well at working out how to say and spell words he didn't know.
After the talk about school, they had a bit of a conversation about home life when he wasn't there. It had made Regina teary so they decided to stop speaking about that.
They talked until their friends came over and they all cried and smiled when they seen their friend alive and well. Hugs were exchanged and they all talked about the time Robin had been away. Robin had been vague about what he had been doing and where he had been, he wasn't meant to tell anybody except Regina about his location or what he had been doing while he was not there. Due to saftey and security.
After that they got a message from some of Robins team saying that they had moved the talk to the public to today as they had prepared speeches and had talks and everybody that needed to be informed were. They had called the media to arrive at the White House as soon as they could, that was conformed when the TV show they had been watching changed to 'Breaking News at the White House' the reporter saying they didn't know what was going on but they had been called to a news story there.
"Okay the kids are fine here; we need to be going downstairs now." Robin walked into the room, now wearing a suit. Regina already dressed, in a plain cream coloured top and black skirt. She stood and walked with him, linked armed to the entrance of the family area and down the stairs to the main hall of the building where the doors he had to walk out of and do a speech was waiting. He waited far enough and around a corner to not risk being seen by anybody yet, and Regina walked out of the doors of the building meeting the cameras, photography microphones, and news reports standing facing either the house or the cameras saying things, at times turning around to see what was happening behind them. And of course, now the reporters saying she had left the house. And maybe it was something to do with her, or that she was just there as a part of it.
"Ladies, gentlemen. Please quieten down." Announced a spokesperson, everybody being quiet and focusing their attention on him. Regina was standing next to the podium.
"As you would all know, just over a month ago, Mr Locksley was announced to have been killed in an attack at a hotel. Luckily nobody of the general public was killed. Since then, we have announced that the First Lady would be moving out of the White House with her child and her husbands, and the Deputy President would take over. However, it has been recently brought to our attention today none of these things are going to be happening. This has been announced today, due to news that Mr Locksley is in fact alive, and well. And will be coming back to office, with immediate effect. He will start work again tomorrow. Mr Locksley has agreed to come out and talk to you and answer some questions." The man stepped aside, the crowed all looking shocked at the announcement. Now reporters quickly adding some of their own words in before turning around as Robin walked out the doors and onto the podium. Regina still standing there next to it, and now him.
"Good evening everybody. I would like to say thank you to the wishes my wife and family made while I was gone. To respect their wishes of privacy and mourning. They did not know about this like all of you. I cannot go into detail of what happened but it was for the safety of myself and others that we had to do this horrible thing. I will remain your president, however if the wishes of the public is to have me step down and a new member of the team take over than I will respect that and do as asked. But for now I will remain the leader of this wonderful country, which I am proud to have the trust of you to guide and make choices on your behalf. Thank you." Robin took a few questions before heading back in with Regina. She at the time not wanting to make a speech about it, as it was getting to her.
They reached the family area and for the rest of the night they cuddled in bed, falling asleep in each other's arms.
