Notes: Don't worry, even though it's been a long time, I'm still here!

I'm taking you towards the end of the story. I think you can guess what will happen from the chapter title ;)
Enjoy!

Two months have passed since the king of the Enchanted Forest was dethroned.

The queen thought that the life the king deserved was to continue his life in pain, but she gave up this idea considering her son. She sentenced Leopold to live out the rest of his life on a farm created by Regina in the farthest part of the kingdom from the palace. A man was given to him only to help him with his work. The Queen especially did not want to send a woman with him because she did not trust her ex-husband at all. She couldn't let him to ruin another woman's life.

Speaking of ex... The knightly order kept their promise and annulled the marriage, Regina Mills became the sole owner of the Enchanted Forest, it was announced to the kingdom that Robin Locksley was the man the queen would marry, but the couple continued to refuse to set a date for this despite all insistence.

The princess's never-ending wedding preparations unexpectedly accelerated with the change of groom. For them to live after the wedding, the queen built a smaller palace with her magic right next to the land of her own palace and presented the wedding gift in advance.

Learning all the facts, Zelena regretted everything she had done and asked for forgiveness from her sister, and she was forgiven and began to live in the palace with her new family. She was happy to finally feel like she wasn't alone in her life. They were trying to build a relationship, and they were both confident that it would work out in the end.

For now, Henry has been given the right to visit his father for two days every three months. In her last meeting with the former king, Regina said that the order would work this way until she was convinced that he would not turn her son against her and that he would not harm anyone. She could not refrain from pointing out that one wrong move, and he would never see his son again.

Robin and Henry started spending more time together. When the little prince was sure of the elder's love for his mother and saw how happy his mother was, he gave his full approval to this relationship. He was getting more used to the new father figure in his life day by day.

Things were going perfectly for the queen and the prince, who caused a change in the lives of everyone living in the Enchanted Forest palace. They adapted very quickly to their new life, where they did not have to hide their love and were not content with sharing a few moments in hidden corners.

In the kingdom, things started to get better because the queen decided to put an end to her secret aid and finally show herself. Of course, his prince - it would be more accurate to tell her future king - had a great influence on this decision. Now the Evil Queen nickname is gone forever, she has become a queen loved by everyone.

As a result, everyone in the Enchanted Forest was happy with their lives. Finally...

As the sunlight illuminated the new royal couple's room, Robin was the first to wake up. When his eyes got used to the light, he saw the still sleeping figure of the woman he loved. He still couldn't believe that they woke up together in the mornings without worrying about anyone seeing them. He didn't have to leave her loving arms in a hurry, he could just lie there and watch her for hours or even days.

However, there was a factor that would prevent him from doing this. Regina was not only the woman he loved, but also the greatest queen of the realm, and her duties awaited her.

He passed his hand through the black silk strands and softly placed a small kiss on her lips. "Love... It's time to wake up."

"Mm..." Instead of opening her eyes, she mumbled and snuggled into his arms as she memorized and continued her sleep.

The thief chuckled. He welcomed the fact that the woman who ruled the kingdom, was tiny in his arms, and hugged her as she wanted. Still, he continued to try his luck to wake her up. Even though he wanted to be there while she was sleeping, he didn't want to face her wrath when she woke up and found out that her work was disrupted. "Honey, cuddling here for hours is the best option for me, but you have to get up for the meeting. How about you let me see your beautiful eyes before Tink comes and starts breaking down the door?"

"I don't want." She mumbled again and buried her head in his neck. "I'll sleep."

"Which don't you want? To wake up or for me to see your eyes?" He was sure that she would definitely disturb her sleep to object to this, because although she had been fond of her sleep lately, there were things she was fond of more.

Contrary to Robin's expectations, the queen's eyes suddenly opened, not with love but with horror, and she threw off the quilt and ran to the bathroom. When the man chasing her reached there, everything in her stomach was leaving her body. He grabbed the woman by the waist and pulled her hair back from her face.

"Hey, I got you, it's okay."

She threw her head back as her eyes slowly closed again. "Ah…" Her whole world was revolving around her.

"I'm here, just breathe." Robin rubbed her shoulder. He was making a great effort not to reflect his anxiety in his voice. "Are you better?"

She managed to turn her body towards him and leaned her head, which her neck was carrying with difficulty, on his chest. "Robin, I'm feeling very dizzy." Her voice came out as a whisper.

"Okay, darling, we'll wait until you feel better." He pressed his lips to her head.

They waited for a while for the dizziness to calm down and the churning in her stomach to stop. The prince did not stop stroking her hair even for a moment to calm her down.

When she feels well enough to stand up, she said "I want to wash my face."

But the worried man still did not want to entrust her to her legs. She could become dizzy again, lose her balance, and hurt herself. He couldn't do it while thinking of tons of disaster scenarios in seconds, no. He took her in his arms, got up from the floor, placed her on the floor in front of the sink, but did not forget to hold her tightly around her waist. Regina washed her hands and face and brushed her teeth.

She frowned at the pale woman in the mirror, although her magical powers protected her from most diseases, she wasn't exactly invincible. However, the weather was too nice for she to catch a cold, and she had not eaten anything different than usual. Or had she eaten it? The small lump on her stomach was there as if to prove the contrary, she would be lying if she said she hadn't gained some weight lately, but was her stomach really that sensitive?

Robin interrupted the voices in her head. "Are you okay?"

"No." She rested her head on his chest. "Can you take me to bed?"

"As you wish, my queen." He took her in his arms again and left the bathroom, gently placed her on the bed and covered her. He sat next to her and pressed his hand to her forehead.

"You don't have a fever. Do you feel anything else?"

The Queen blinked her half-open eyes. "No, I had nothing until I just woke up.

"I'll call a doctor. Don't get up, okay?"

"Robin stop." She held his hand and prevented him from leaving.

"I know you don't want a doctor, but we have to do it, darling."

Her eyes filled with tears. She was ready to cry like a little child because she didn't want to see a doctor. "I don't like it when they see me as weak, and you know that too."

"Oh..." The man smiled at her tearful words. "Says the strongest woman I've ever seen?"

"I'm not right now, I'm weak."

"You are not weak, Regina. You never have been and you never will be. The people who made you feel this way tried to suppress you because they were deathly afraid of you and what you could do. The limits of their minds were not enough to understand what a special soul you are. I am sure that you will not allow these simple and helpless people to affect you. Sometimes even the strongest people can get tired, that doesn't mean they are weak. It means they are human."

When a tear fell from the queen's eyes, the thief pressed his lips to the path of the tear. "I love you, with everything, always."

"I love you too." Her voice cracked because of the lump in her throat.

"I also love how you act like a baby when you get sick. I will take care of my baby until she feels better. Again."

She couldn't stop giggling when he reminded her of the time she was sick at the beginning of the year. That illness had bought them two wonderful weeks alone, and for the first time in her life she wasn't so unhappy about being sick. Maybe from now on, no illness or hardship would be so devastating.

"I'm going to call a doctor now, be my sweet queen and stay in bed. I'll be right back."

"Okay." She whispered while smiling. She was filled with peace when she realized that she no longer bothered with someone telling her what to do. Robin knew and wanted what was best for her, just like she would know and want what was best for him. So if he was telling her to stay in bed and see the doctor, that's what she was going to do.

Less than a few minutes after her lover's leave, the door suddenly opened and an excited Tink and Snow rushed in. "Regina! What happened?"

She rolled her eyes in exasperation, if someone was going to treat her like a child, she'd rather it be just the man she loved. Not her old and new friend. "Can you just calm down? I'm fine."

Snow did not give up her usual habit of exaggeration and sat next to her and held her hand. "Robin said you are sick. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I feel nauseous and dizzy. I guess I'm just tired."

"Oh, I see."

She expected her annoying friends to continue their flustered questions and offer her thousands of suggestions, and she was ready to get angry, but on the contrary, a smile appeared on their faces that she could not understand, and this made her unprepared angry.

"Have you been sleeping a lot lately? Fatigue? Let me tell you before you say it, both are yes." The blonde woman said.

The Queen pushed herself up and sat down. "What nonsense are you talking about, Tink?"

The woman almost ignored her outburst. "Are you emotional?" Her smile was getting bigger and bigger, making the patient uneasy.

"Why are you laughing, what's so funny about that?!" The Queen continued to answer gruffly. She would not hesitate to confront them with fireballs if they mocked her illness any more.

"I told you. It's all happening. It happened before."

"Am I dying? Is that why you're so happy?" She crossed her arms over her chest.

"For God's sake, Regina, stop saying bad things in front of it." Her friend scolded her. "It understands everything."

"Who is it, Tink? If you started seeing imaginary people, I'm not the one who will solve your problem. Find Archie." Because she wanted to get away from them and the pressure on her abdomen was increasing, she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. "Leave me alone, I have to go to the bathroom."

Somehow they still wouldn't shut up and leave her alone. "She also goes to the bathroom often!" When Snow spoke again, she could no longer tolerate it. What the hell was this nonsense?

She turned to them and cast her flaming eyes upon them. "I have bad news for you, queens go to the bathroom too!"

"Still don't you understand? I don't want to hear you brag about your intelligence again, you silly." Tink stood up and Snow followed.

"Yes, I'm definitely dying. Nothing else could make you this happy after saying these words to me. Because if I'm not dying, I'll destroy you both." She turned towards the bathroom again.

"You're not dying, honey. On the contrary... You're creating a life."

The Queen suddenly turned to them. "What am I doing a life?!" The flames in her chocolate eyes were replaced by surprise.

"Regina you are pregnant!" They both shouted at the same time.

The words hit the woman like a slap. So much so that she didn't even hear the noise coming from the door. The two women turned their heads to see Robin standing in front of the large door and the tray with broken glass shards at his feet, but no one paid attention to the woman whose eyes were filled with tears.

"W-What?"

Snow was unaware of the curse she had placed on herself, but how dare her best friend scream a lie in her face, knowing that it was impossible, without even considering how much those words would hurt her? And in front of Robin, who doesn't know anything.

This wasn't the time to be struggling with heartbreak, she had to stop this nonsense. "It's imp..." She was about to say "It's impossible." but her words were cut short.

"God!" The blonde man ran to her and hugged her. "We're having a baby! I love you so much!"

If she could have killed the two women there, she would have done so immediately. Now how could she tell the man she loved that he could never be a father because of the wrong decisions she made? "Robin..."

Again she could not continue, the thief covered her lips with his. The Queen felt her heart shatter into a thousand pieces. She didn't even know he wanted a child. She just acted indifferently because she had a curse on her, did he think she wanted it too? Did she really not want it or didn't she even dare to ask?

In a corner of her heart, she was afraid that if Robin knew this truth, he would give up on her. He always said that Henry was his son and showed that he loved him as his own, but she knew that every man would want to be a father to his own child one day. And he couldn't do that with her, staying with her would mean giving up on this dream. So which one would he choose in this situation?

She was so horrified by the answer she would receive that she couldn't even continue to spend a few more seconds in his arms, let alone talk about the facts. She summoned her magic and carried herself away from reality.

When Regina opened her eyes, she was in the room where she had made the infertility potion. She sat on the seat in front of the window, and when she put her trembling hands together on her stomach, her suppressed cry came out accompanied by sobs. Everything seemed so logical when she drank that potion, so why did she feel like she was in a big mistake now? How happy Robin was when he heard it, she never wanted to disappoint him, but she was going to do it because of the decision she made. She had ruined this love, just like she had ruined everything else. She should have known that this perfection in her life would not continue anyway, there was never a happy world for her why would it be now?

While she was judging herself there, Robin, who was looking for his lover throughout the palace finally opened the door of the right room, and let out a sigh of relief when he reached her. "Regina! Oh, thank God, you're here!"

He sat in the space on the couch. Her head leaning on her knees was hiding her eyes from him. He asked her to look at him as he ran his hands through the black silk strands, but she didn't even move. "Please talk to me, my love. Whatever is bothering you, we can work it out together."

She loved him too much to steal a title that he wanted so much. "I didn't know you wanted children." She whispered.

"I didn't think directly that I wanted children, but of course I want a family with you."

She swallowed. Words were taking steps back to avoid coming out of her lips, but she pushed them out. Whatever was going to happen had to happen now. It was time to let him go. "What if I can't give you this? Will you stop loving me?"

Although Robin didn't hesitate for a second to answer, her heart stopped with fear until she heard his answer. "Hey, look at me. I don't know what you're talking about." He gently pushed her head up, revealing her face. When he saw her red eyes, her pain encompassed his entire soul. He put his hand on her face and wiped the paths of her tears.

"Regina, I just want you to be happy. If you don't want children, I can't force you. This is not a decision we can make just by my will." He wanted to have a child with her, but she had already been forced to have a child just because of a man's will, and he could understand her being more sensitive about it. So if she didn't want it, he would wait until she was ready.

"I want." The words came out of her lips unconsciously. She couldn't even admit what she wanted to herself, but the man had such power over her. She couldn't hide her feelings, she showed them as they were. She looked away. "But it's impossible."

"Why do you think that, dear?"

"I have an infertility curse." She said suddenly.

"What? Who did this to you, Regina!" The fact that someone had harmed her made his blood boil. He would risk his life to destroy from this world anyone who caused a single drop from her eyes. One name was enough!

"It was after you came to the palace. Leopold said he wanted children. I didn't want to have another commitment to him, and I also realized that I was starting to have feelings for you." She took a few deep breaths. "I said I didn't want it, but my opinion didn't matter, I knew he wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted. He's done it before."

When the tears started to flow again, Robin tried to pull her close and make her feel that the past was no longer chasing her, that she was in the present and in a completely different life.

"I put an infertility curse on myself, Robin. I can't get pregnant."

Her fear returned faster than it left when she felt Robin's grip loosen, but the same second he hugged her tighter. Even if she was going to leave him, she wouldn't do it right now, she wouldn't let maybe their last hug end. She buried her head in his neck and tried to memorize the smell of pine.

Contrary to what she thought, it never even crossed the man's mind that this was their last hug. What he was thinking about was the past experiences of the woman he loved and his regret for not being there for her. She was in so much pain that she didn't care about hurting herself. That man, that life took so much away from her and still continues to do so. If the prince had not made a promise to the woman, he would not have allowed Leopold to breathe even for a second.

"Shh, it's over, darling. I won't let you get hurt again."

"It hurts me to hurt you."

"You didn't hurt me, Regina." He pulled away from her and connected their eyes. "A child doesn't make me love you more or less."

"I love you so much, Robin. More than you can imagine. And I don't want to take that away from you. You don't have to pay for my life. I… If you want to go…" She couldn't even finish the sentence, even mentioning the possibility of being without him took her breath away.

But there was no need for him to finish her sentence anyway. "Don't go on. Don't even start this again. I'm not going anywhere, I won't go anywhere. I love you for who you are. I love you just the way you are. Whether we have a child or not doesn't change that. Besides, it's not like we don't have children. I love Henry like he is mine."

The lump in her throat suppressed her voice. "I don't know what I did to deserve you."

"You deserve the world." He kissed her hair. "Now let's go find out what happened to you, I want you to get better quickly."

"Can we just sleep? I don't want to see anyone now."

"If you promise me the doctor will come when you wake up."

"I promise."

Robin, who stayed with the queen until she fell asleep, then found the princess and the fairy to explain the situation.

"I am a fairy, you can be sure that I know more about curses than you think. Your beloved is not the only one with a spell, and her despair is killing me. There is no curse that can stand against true love." Tink said. "Regina has been showing all the symptoms for days."

"I believe in our love and in magic, Tink, but it's a possibility. What if she's not pregnant… She'll only be more upset when she sees this, and I don't want to upset her about the possibilities. Regina's pretty sure she's not pregnant, she probably just caught a cold."

"God, this woman has infected you with her pessimism! People with colds don't have an appetite, Robin. When have you ever seen Regina eating unhealthy? The last time I saw her like this was when she was pregnant with Henry, until a week ago." The blonde woman said. "Believe me, I can notice her pregnancy even from a hundred meters away."

"I trust in your love, you have broken this curse. Please just give it a chance." Snow said.

Since he knew that he could not get rid of them and that they would constantly make endless insinuations to the woman and constantly remind her, he decided to handle this secretly. "So how do we find out without upsetting her? I don't want her to be disappointed again. Is there a way we can find out secretly?"

"I'm going to test her with magic. I just need a strand of hair, can you do it?"

When he said he could handle it, a transparent mixture appeared in Tink's hand as they walked to the room where the queen was sleeping without wasting any time. Just before entering the room, she explained the magic to those around her. "We expect a color change. It should happen when it comes into contact with the hair."

Robin leaned next to the bed and softly pressed his lips to her forehead. He ran his hand through her hair and prayed for a broken strand of hair to come out, he didn't want to hurt her even if it was a tiny bit. But unfortunately, came out with empty-handed.

"Take it, Robin." Tink hissed.

"Take it from her comb, it will hurt her."

"The one on her comb might have been stuck there before she got pregnant. Your queen will not die from a tiny strand, for God's sake, do it!" The man's loving demeanor might have made her happy for her friend at another time, but right now he was just getting on her nerves.

Realizing that the man couldn't do it, Snow couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward, put her hand through the woman's wavy hair and pulled a strand. She frowned for a moment but did not wake up.

Tinker Bell pushed the black strand in her hand into the bottle and shook it a few times. All three of them continued to stare at the bottle without even taking a breath. Even though Robin had no expectations after talking to Regina, he was about to lose his mind with excitement. If they broke this curse, Regina would be relieved of another burden, and this was a completely different happiness for him.

But nothing happened. The liquid remained as it was before entering the chamber. He released the breath he was holding. "I told you, I don't want to upset her. Please don't bring this up again." He turned to the woman he loved, brushed her hair back from her forehead and kissed her. Whether the curse was broken or not, he wasn't going to let her worry about this again.

"Robin..."

He didn't even turn to them when they called him. "Get it out of here before Regina wakes up, Tink."

"Robin!" Snow shouted.

Opening her eyes as the scream echoed in her room, the woman found three people standing next to her bed, staring fascinated at a small pink bottle.

"We're going to have a princess!" Tink put the bottle in Robin's hand and hugged the princess.

While the queen, her voice hoarse, lifted her head from the pillow, the prince turned to her with the bottle in his hand. The words fell into silence between them.

"I-Is this real?" She whispered.

"Of course it's real!" Tink chirped.

"We're going to have a daughter." They both took their eyes off the bottle and turned to each other. When she reached out for the bottle with fear, Robin gave it to her with trembling fingers. The young woman closed her eyes as she brought the pink liquid closer to her nose and smelled it. Tears of happiness leaked from between her covered eyelids. She could smell her baby. It was real.

"We're going to have a daughter." She echoed Robin.

The two women standing quietly left the room, leaving them alone.

Regina placed her hand on her stomach and with her other hand she took Robin's hand and placed it on her stomach as well. The piece of their love, their little princess responded to them with the strength that came from their parents. It was as if for a moment she was not growing in her mother's womb, but was coming to life in their hands.

"She is really there." Still in disbelief, the woman prayed that this wasn't a dream.

"She is." The thief's blue eyes also filled with tears.

They may have been crying, yes, but perhaps there was never a happier moment in their lives. They smiled at the same time, approached each other and connected their lips, with pure love...

Notes: Can you believe where we came from? We will have a princess!

We love happy endings, right? (Tears)
