Here is another chapter for you all. This is the calm before the storm chapter so I thought I would supply you with a bit of Outlaw Queen fluff as we have been majorly lacking that in both this story and the show so here we are. I hope you all enjoy it!

Regina and Robin walked out of the only Italian restaurant in town, their hands tangled together. Regina had a big smile on her face as she rested her head on Robin's shoulder as they started to walk down the street. "Would you mind if we took a walk?" Regina asked quietly. "I don't really fancy going back home yet."

"Of course I don't mind. It means I get to spend more time with you." Robin replied.

Regina lifted her head with a grin. She leaned over and pressed her lips to his, humming a she seemed to melt into his arms as they stopped in the middle of the street taking one another in. Regina moved her hands up his arms and around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her as close to him as possible, her big baby bump stopping them from getting any closer. Their kiss grew more and more passionate and Regina moaned into his mouth as he moved a hand up and down her back, tickling her spine a little.

She pulled away and rested her forehead against his, a smile on her face. "I love you Robin." Regina breathed out. It took her a minute to realise what she had just said but as soon as she did her eyes widened and hr breath hitched. "Robin I…" Regina started.

But Robin stopped her by giving her a small kiss, smiling against her lips. He had been wanting to say that to her for so long but had stopped himself every time thinking it might drive her away. He was so happy she had said it to him first. "I love you too Regina. More than anything or anyone in the world." Robin replied.

Regina let a smile fall back onto her face as she looked up into his eyes. "You do?" She asked in slight disbelief. She still found it hard at times to think someone could love her back. Her mother had told her no one would love her and she had believed her for so long.

Robin nodded his head and rested his forehead back against hers. "I do. I plan not to lose you…ever."

"Good because I plan not to lose you either." Regina replied.

Robin laughed a little and then pulled away, taking her hand back into his and they started to walk again. They took the small walk down to the pier and sat down on the bench overlooking the beach, the sun was setting giving the sky an orange and red glow that reflected off of the crashing waves of the sea below them. Regina shuffled closer to Robin letting him wrap his arms around her as she rested against him. "How have you been feeling? You said you hadn't been sleeping right?" Robin asked as they both stared out to the sea.

"I'm okay." Regina answered quietly.

"And your sleeping?" Robin asked.

"Same as ever." Regina shrugged.

"Do you want to talk about it? It might help you Regina. I want to help you in any way that I can." Robin said softly as he kissed the top of her head.

Regina sighed a little. Did she want to talk about the nightmares? Would it help? The nightmares didn't just plague her at night, they followed her throughout the day. It was mostly all she could think about as she went about her daily work or was sat at Zelena's. "They are just nightmares. I'm being silly about them." Regina said quietly.

"If they are scaring or worrying you then you aren't being silly about them Regina. If you talk about them to me I might be able to help you forget them." Robin said.

Regina sat in silence for a moment just staring out at the sea. Robin presumed she maybe didn't want to talk about the nightmares and he didn't want to push her so he too stayed quiet, but Regina surprised him by speaking up a moment later. "The night mares are about my mother." Regina started. "They all involve her in some way. I have dreams that she tries to kidnap me and take me back to the house to keep my locked up again. I have dreams that when the twins are born that she will take them away from me and I never get to see them again. Then I have weird dreams…" Regina said.

"Weird dreams?" Robin questioned.

Regina nodded her head. "Yes. Weird dreams that we are in like this Enchanted Forest type place, like a fairytale and my mother has me locked up in this tall tower and I am never allowed to leave. I dreamed that she banished you away from me and made sure that you and I would never seen one another again. I dreamed that she cut my hair to punish me, just like she did here. It felt weird. I know they were just dreams but they felt so real Robin." Regina explained.

"Why do you think you dreamt of that?" Robin asked.

Regina shrugged her shoulders against him. "I'm not sure. Probably because Henry had been talking about the whole curse thing he believes in and that we all come from a fairytale. He probably just got into my head. The nightmares just get to me. They just feel so real and once I wake up I can't get back to sleep. I'm too scared to." Regina sighed.

"What can I do to help you?" Robin asked softly.

Regina thought about it for a moment. She then sat up, pulling away from Robin she turned to look at him. "Would you…perhaps come and stay with me tonight?" Regina asked shyly, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. "I mean you don't have to if you don't want to…I just thought maybe if someone else was there that I could cuddle into and feel safe I might sleep better and I feel safe with you and I think…or know I would sleep better if I were in your arms." Regina rambled.

Robin laughed a little and he leaned over and pressed his lips against Regina's effectively stopping her rambling. "I will stay the night with you if you wish my love." Robin said softly and Regina smiled at him.

Regina woke up in the morning surround by a pair of strong arms and her head resting on someone's chest. She let herself wake up and figure out who was with her and then let a smile appear on her face as she remembered that Robin had stayed the night. She cuddled closer to him. Last night had been the best night's sleep she had had in months. She had slept soundly through the night, that is once they finally did go to sleep.

She had felt safe in his arms, as if no one or nothing could get to her or harm her. It had been a long time since she had felt like that, she wasn't sure if she had ever felt like that. She shuffled a little moving to look up at a sleeping Robin. She really did love him. She never thought she would find a man who would love her as much as she loved him but with Robin she had found that man and she knew it.

She leaned up and pressed her lips to his softly, waking him up slowly. His hand moved up her bare back, tickling her a little and making her giggle into the kiss. "Good morning." She said softly as she pulled away to look at him.

"Good morning." He replied with a grin on his face. "How did you sleep my love?" He asked placing a hand on her cheek and stroking it softly.

"Wonderfully. Best night's sleep I have had in months." Regina replied with a smile.

"I am glad to hear that I was of some help." Robin replied making Regina laugh a little.

"Oh you were." She replied back cheekily and leaned back over placing her lips back onto his showing him that she was very much happy and in love with him.
