Ch40 - Murder Most Foul Pt2

Regina's POV

I could hear Emma's words in my head, as I made my way back to the diner; I kept telling myself, to remember, he's not my Robin. Sure he might look like him, act like him; but he's not the Robin I fell in love with.

I quickly made my way inside, spotting him immediately; I took a breath, before joining him. I spoke, my tone soft.

"Mind, if I join you?"

He looked at me, and my heart fluttered; his gaze, never leaving mine, as I sat down. He looked around the room, before speaking.

"I received the strangest looks, when I walked in here"

I nodded, before answering.

"I'm sorry about that, it's just; I spent time here, with my Robin and his son"

My breath caught, when I mentioned Roland; I sighed softly, before speaking again.

"I'm sorry, I left you here; I just needed to see my son, I also needed to make sure he was safe"

He nodded, before finishing his drink; I cleared my throat, before I spoke.

"Do you want?..."

He looked at me, before nodding; silently encouraging me to continue.

"I was thinking, it would make sense for you to stay with me; I have a spare bedroom, and my son is staying with his other mother tonight. You don't have to, but my offer stands; if you don't want to spend the night, and the next morning, being stared at"

He nodded, before speaking.

"Thank you, your majesty; I think it's best, if I stay out of view, of the citizens of this fine settlement"

I nodded, before standing up; I spoke.

"Then follow me"

He stood up, following me outside; we walked in a somewhat comfortable silence, as we made the quick journey to my home.

I stopped, when I reached the front gate; my breath catching in my chest, as I gazed at my front door and then back to wish Robin.

Memories flooded my mind, as I remembered all the time I spent here with my Robin; I sighed again, before moving towards the door.

My hand shaking slightly, as I opened it; before moving aside, so that he could walk in. I waited, as he made his way inside; I quickly followed, closing the door behind me.

I glanced around the room, noticing it was quiet; because only a couple of weeks ago, it was overtaken with baby things.

That's when I remembered, Zelena...How is she going to react to all of this, and that's if she even bothers to make her presence known; if I know my sister, in the way that I think I do, she will make her presence known, in true Zelena fashion.

I shook my head, as I led him to the downstairs guest bedroom; I spoke again.

"Why don't you make yourself comfortable, while I gather some clothes and other items; I'll be back soon"

He nodded, as I made my way upstairs; I took another breath, as I gathered some of my Robin's clothes, they had been stashed away for when he spent the night with me.

I held the night shirt, my grip tightening; involuntarily, as it still smelled like him. I sighed, before gathering the rest of the items; before heading back downstairs, I tried to keep my breathing in check, as I knocked before entering.

He stood, with his back to me; he turned, when I entered the room, he smiled at me. I could feel my nerves take over, and I mentally chastised myself; Regina Mills, doesn't get nervous.

I set the clothes down on the bed, before explaining.

"So, the nightwear; in this realm, you wear them when you are in bed. I also brought you some clean clothes to change into; in the morning, I'll bring more down tomorrow. So, I'm sure the journey; took its toll on you, so I'll let you get some sleep. If you need anything, let me know..."

He nodded, before thanking me again; he spoke.

"Thank you, your majesty; I hope you sleep well"

I smiled, before answering.

"Goodnight"

I closed the door behind me, before leaning up against it; I sighed heavily, before making my way upstairs. I changed, before getting into bed; my breathing still uneven, as I tried to settle my heart rate.

After a few minutes of tossing and turning; I eventually managed to get some sleep, only to be awakened a few hours later.

I heard muffled beeping, I sighed as I remembered there was an alarm clock in the guest bedroom. He isn't used to that, not in the way my Robin was.

Why didn't I remove it last night? I got up, dressing quickly; before gathering more clothes for him to wear. I pushed the door open, before speaking.

"You're up?"

He stood up, turning to face me; as he spoke.

"Hard to sleep, when that demon box; keeps screaming at me"

I spoke again.

"Oh. That's called an alarm clock..." I balanced the clothes in my arms, as I made my way towards it; turning it off, as I spoke again. "Sorry. Anyway, I um; brought you some...clean clothes"

He spoke.

"Thank you"

I kept my gaze on his, before I shook myself from my thoughts; I spoke.

"Ok, then; I'll...I'll let you change"

I placed the clothes onto the bed, sighing softly; before leaving, closing the door behind me. I glanced back briefly, before making my way into the kitchen; I got halfway there, before hearing a knock.

Who, could that be? I sighed again, as I made my way to open it; my eyes widened, when I noticed Snow standing on my porch.

I guess Charming, finally tapped out; she looked at me, before speaking.

"We need to talk"

I nodded, before moving aside; allowing her to enter. I spoke.

"Yes, I suppose we do; I was just about to make some coffee, would you like some?"

She nodded, and I gestured for her to sit down; when she did, I made my way into the kitchen. I made the coffee, before heading back into the dining room; Snow was sitting there, watching me.

I sighed, before speaking.

"I'm guessing the reason for your visit, is because Emma's probably told you; who I brought back with me?"

She nodded, before answering.

"Regina, what were you thinking? How could, you bring him back here?"

I looked at her, before answering.

"You weren't there. And he was miserable, in his world, and...he wanted a fresh start and, I'm just trying to help him"

Snow looked at me, her gaze never leaving mine; as she spoke.

"But you, don't know who he is! Looking like Robin Hood, doesn't make him the same person; trust me, I once kissed David's twin. World of a difference!"

I guess, you learn something new everyday; I answered.

"We've barely, even talked"

She spoke again.

"Well, there are some things; you should probably tell him, like for example, he has a daughter"

I spoke, while arguing that fact.

"It's not his daughter"

Snow lowered her voice, before speaking.

"Exactly my point, they are different people"

I sighed, before trying to explain myself.

"But there could be a part of him, in there; he was able to cross, into the real world, that...that has to mean something"

She sighed, before answering.

"Regina, I want this to work out for you; you deserve this..." She paused, sighing again; as she did, before continuing. "I'm worried"

I agreed.

"Yeah, me too"

We finished our coffee, before she spoke again.

"Just promise me, you'll be careful"

I nodded, before speaking again.

"I promise, and if anything happens; I'll let Emma know"

She nodded again, before leaving; when she was gone, I sighed. I stared at the door, and I couldn't help but wonder; if she's right, have I done the right thing, by bringing him back?

I guess, only time will tell...
