Chapter 11

Despite what happened last night, Regina felt great the morning after. She felt as if she could breathe for the first time in weeks. The Charmings were kind of family now. They cared about her. She saw that for certain last night when they rushed to her rescue. She now was on her way to have a serious talk with Robin, but first she wanted to stop by and see lunatic Marian.

She walked in the jail dock and Emma was at her desk reading a book. As soon as Marian saw her she yelled, "You won't get away with this Regina! You will never have my family!"

Regina laughed softly.

Emma came next to her, "Regina what are you doing here? You still can't kill her."

"I know, but I wanna have a chat with her" she gave Emma a big smile.

Emma didn't look amused. "Yea, ok. But I will be in my office, just in case."

"Sure."

Emma went back into her office and Regina went toward Marian cell.

"Don't come near me you evil spawn!"

Regina laughed again. "I just simply want to tell you that you brought all of this on yourself. Do I want to rip your heart out, crush it into dust, sprinkle it on your body and roast you to ashes? Yes, yes I do. But that will not do any good. I will leave you to think of how you messed up your own life. I am no longer the 'Evil Queen'. I have turned over a new leaf. But I hope you can sleep well in knowing that Robin and Roland will be in very good hands. Mine. I love them and I will never let any harm come their way."

"You are the harm. I will get you Regina, on my life."

"You can try, but remember what you said? Evil people don't get happy endings."

Marian looked furious, ready to pounce on Regina. Regina laughed heartily and walked out.

Regina walked to the playground where Robin and Roland would be. She saw Robin pushing his son on the swing and Roland telling him to go faster. This is what happiness is. She hasn't felt it in years and now she feels it again, stronger than ever. Her love for her boys will never die and she will always make them happy.

Roland spotted her, jumped off the swing and ran to her. He gave her a huge hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Gina, Gina! Are you okay? Daddy said your house burned down."

"Yes sweet boy, I am okay. It did but I can get it rebuilt."

"I'm sorry your house burned down. I love that house." He looked sad.

"It's ok Roland, it will be better in no time."

"I know, I'm just glad you are ok."

"I am and thank you baby, I missed you."

"I missed you to Gina."

She hugged him tight against her. She missed his hugs and made a promise that she will not go so long without a hug from him again.

Robin walked up to them.

"Hey Roland, go on the slide and play. I want to talk to Gina."

"Are we going to see her a lot more daddy?"

"Yes, Roland. I hope so." He looked at her for confirmation.

"Of course Roland. You know I love my boys."

"We love you to, Gina."

Roland ran to play on the slide and Regina and Robin sat down on the bench. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer.

"How are you this morning?" he asked almost whispering in her ear.

"I'm fine. I had breakfast with the family. Heard what I said? "Family!" Then went and told Marian a piece of my mind. Don't worry I didn't physically harm her and curse her. I just simply told her she brought this on herself."

Robin smiled. "She did bring it on herself."

"Did you decide you wanted to be with me before she did that?"

"Yes, baby I did. I couldn't stop thinking about you. Ever since I was little I was told to follow my heart and that it would never ever steer me wrong. And it hasn't. With every decision I make, I listen to my heart. My heart wanted you and I wanted you even more. You are an amazing woman. I don't care about your past. The Regina I see now is the most stunning woman I know and ever met. You make my heart alive again. I'm in love with you."

He leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss. He pulled her closer to his body and rubbed his hand in her hair and down her back. They felt all the emotion of their love in kisses. Regina began to cry.

"Robin, I told you a while ago that I never thought I would have this. And at first I didn't."

She then looked at his tattoo. "but I feel it in this tattered heart of mine that we are meant to be."

"We are mi'lady, we are. This love is powerful what we have. I'm so sorry I hurt you before. I promise on my honor and on my son's life that I will never hurt you like that again. You are so special to me." He looked deep in her eyes and Regina knew that he meant ever word gracing his beautiful lips.

She gave him a big smile. "And I promise you as long as you're mine, I will always try my best to make you and Roland happy."

"Well mi'lady, I guess that's forever. Are you ready for that?" he smirked at her and kissed her temple.

"More than ready. You broke down my walls and opened my heart towards love. I have never felt so at peace before. Not worrying about anything all the time. Your love is mine now."

"It has always been yours, love. You may not have known it but my heart will always be yours. You are my soul mate."

"Gina, Daddy! Come play with me!" Roland waved his hands and smiled at his parents.

"We better go."

"Yes mi'lady. Your son is calling."

"Our son." She looked at him with her eyes sparkling. "I have two sons."

"We have two sons." He hugged her and never wanted to let her go. And he never will.

"I love you Regina."

"I love you to Robin. Now let's go before Roland comes over to drag us." They both laughed and went to play with their son.

They had each other now. She had her happy ending.

-The End-
