What if Robin left Regina a little surprise when he died? Please read and review.
It had been a week since Robin's death. Everyone was still grieving their loss, but nobody was taking his death harder than Regina. Emma didn't have the heart to tell Regina that Hook was back; it didn't feel right that Emma was allowed to have her love and Regina wasn't. As much as Zelena grieved for Hades, she couldn't help but feel resentment towards him for taking her sister's love. Snow had seen what happened when she had been the cause of Daniel's death. Regina had turned into the Evil Queen. And now not one, but two people she had loved had been taken away from Regina.
Of everyone in the group, no one wanted to heal Regina's pain more than Henry. He knew she was trying to be strong for him, but he could see the pain and anguish in her eyes. He could see past the fake smiles and the 'I'm okays' because she wasn't okay. She was far from okay. He could hear her sobbing in her room after she thought he had gone to bed. He could see her gazing at the pictures of her and Robin together in her office. He could see her missing Robin whenever she held Zelena's baby, appropriately named Robin after her father. And no matter how much he wanted to protect her and comfort her, he knew she would tell him it's not his job as she was his mother and it was her job to protect him.
Henry woke up one morning and went into Regina's room hoping to find her but she wasn't in sight. He figured maybe she was already down at the mayor's office. He went down to the mayor's office but once again Regina wasn't to be found. Henry finally made his way over to Emma's house and he knocked on her door. Hook answered the door much to Henry's surprise, "Oh hello lad."
"Uh Hook hi," said Henry, "Is Mom here?"
"Just a sec," said Hook, "Emma, your son is here."
Emma appeared from the kitchen, "Hey Henry, what are you doing here?"
"Uh, I was wondering if Mom's here. You know she hasn't been herself lately ever since…"
Emma nodded. She knew how much pain Regina was feeling, and Robin wasn't coming back unlike Hook, "No she isn't here. Maybe's she's at her office…"
"She's not there either, I checked," said Henry.
"Well if she's not at home and she's not at her office where could she be?" asked Emma looking at Hook.
Hook put his hand on Emma and said, "If she isn't back soon, we'll send out a search party.
Regina entered the Dark Star Pharmacy perusing the aisles to find what she was looking for at the moment. She finally found what she wanted and quickly took it to the register to pay, "Mr. Clark," she greeted.
"Mam," he answered, "I'm very sorry for your loss."
Regina swallowed thickly and attempted to hold back the tears at the thought of Robin. Especially now, "Thank you," she answered. She quickly grabbed a couple candy bars at the resister and added it to the items to be rung up to avoid any suspicions form strangers.
Mr. Clark rung up the items and put them all in a bag, "Would you like a receipt mam?"
"No thank you, I'm good," said Regina taking the bag of stuff and leaving the store.
"Best of luck mam," she heard Mr. Clark call. But at this point she had no idea whether she was lucky or not.
Henry arrived back at home and found Regina in the kitchen, much to his relief, "Mom there you are? Where were you?" he asked.
Regina turned around to face her son and said, "I had a few errands to run," she replied. And it wasn't entirely a lie. It was an important errand she had to make.
"Okay," said Henry, "I was worried so I went to your office and then to Mom's to see if you were there."
Regina put her hand on Henry's shoulder and said, "Henry, how many times have I told you…"
"That it's your job to take care of me and not the other way around, I know," said Henry, "But I'm allowed to worry about you, especially after what happened. Robin meant a lot to me too Mom. I miss him every day and I miss everything he left behind."
"You don't even know how much he might have left behind Henry," Regina thought. She forced a smile and said, "I know. If you ever want to talk, I'm here."
"Are you sure?" asked Henry. He already knew how hard Regina was taking Robin's death; he didn't want to add to her pain.
"Positive," she affirmed, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a few things to take care of right now."
Henry nodded and sat down at the table as he watched his mother grab the bag and disappear into her room. He couldn't help but notice it was a pharmacy bag.
Emma called Henry took make sure he got home safe, "Hello," she heard her son answer.
"Henry, is Regina home yet?" asked Emma.
"Yeah, she was home when I got home. She had an errand to run. She's in her room now if you want to talk to her."
Emma sighed. She knew that whenever Regina was in her room lately she was crying and she didn't want Henry to have to watch his mother grieve more than he already was, "No that's alright. I just wanted to make sure she was okay."
"As okay as she'll ever be right now," said Henry.
"Okay Henry, thank you," said Emma and she hung up the phone, "Regina's back," she told Hook.
"Good," Hook nodded, "I was worried there."
"Yeah, after what happened to Robin," said Emma starting to cry.
"Hey come here love," said Hook wrapping his arms around Emma and kissing the top of her head, "I love you Emma."
"I love you too."
Regina pulled up in front of the graveyard where Robin was buried. She stopped and stared at the item from the pharmacy in her hand, only that item was now used. Even if he was dead, she felt he had the right to be the first to know, because she knew exactly when it happened.
They were alone in small room. Emma and Henry were out looking for Hook, Snow and Charming were attempting to communicate with Neal, leaving her and Robin alone. Robin had sauntered over to her and wrapped his strong arms around her soothingly, "You know we'll find him Regina."
Regina sighed as she leaned into his embrace. As much as she tried to be a strong, independent woman, sometimes she needed to feel loved, "I know but I can't help but worry for Emma. Even though sometimes that pirate boyfriend of hers drives me insane."
Robin chuckled, "Kind of like your ex-thief of a boyfriend drives them insane."
Regina turned around to face Robin and kissed, "Yeah I kind of. But I love you anyways."
"And I love you too milady," Robin smirked.
Of course one thing had led to another and now here she was: Robin was dead and she was about to undergo the most life changing event any woman can go through in her life. Regina finally walked over to Robin's grave and crouched down in front of it, "Hey Robin it's me. Listen, I haven't told anyone else this, not even Henry, because I felt you should be the first to know. Zelena named the baby Robin, after her Daddy. I think it suits her. She's cute and stubborn, just like her Daddy." Regina laid the item in her hand on the headstone. She touched the headstone softly and said, "And I'm sure our baby will too. I'm pregnant Robin."
