Chapter 1

Robin took the glasses he had ordered, a smile on his face. He was happy. For the first time in so long. Since Marian, actually. And he thought he would never be able to move on fom her, to love again, but he had. Regina, surprisingly, had managed to break down those walls he had built - the same way he destroyed hers - and now, he couldn't picture his life without her in it.

Robin turned around, and only then did he notice the sudden calm of the dinenr. Instead of joyous talk, the dinner was silent and all the people were turned toward something, eyes wide.

Then, without him knowing why, Robin felt uneasy, like a weight had fallen on his chest. He looked around, started to walk toward Regina, fear creeping in his heart and froze, his two whikeys in hands.

For Regina, his Regina, was there indeed. But all looks were turned toward her. She noticed none of them, her brown eyes were shining with tears and one had made its way down her cheek. He only heard her broken whisper.

"Daniel."

Robin's eyes followed her gaze and stopped on a man, younger than both of them, but looking at her like she was the sun and moon of his life.

And then, it felt as if his world crumbled all around him in a matter of seconds. How could it even be possible ? Deads were dead. How could it ... Nothing made sense. Nothing at all. It was not possible. . . Robin tore his eyes away from the woman he loved - because he knew he did - and looked around, his eyes falling on the pirate, who was looking at him, a puzzled then sad expression on his face. But Robin was hypnotized by Regina, he could see her frown, could see her eyes which shone with hope yet disbelief, could see the way she seemed so tense. He longed to take the few steps separating them and take her away from there, pretending nothing ever happened.

But he knew he could not.

"How could it..." she murmured but the dinner is so quiet he heard her as if she was talking to him. Heard her like it was his worst nightmare but couldn't get woken up.

"I don't know." answered the man, taking a step closer to her but she froze and he stopped.

Robin's heart was secretely roaring in his chest.

What the hell was going on ?

"I was waiting for you at the stables." said Daniel and Regina's eyes closed at the painful memory. "But... Princess Leia came," he turned toward Emma, eyes just as wide as her mother's. "Next I know I was here."

Regina took a deep breath and turned toward Emma, trying to stop her voice from breaking and failing.

"You..." Robin's heart went out to her, "You saved him ?"

Emma opened the mouth, then closed it.

"I ..." she looked over to Killian, "I heard Cora said that she would kill him and I ... Killian did warn me this could alternate the present but I couldn't..." her voice broke, "I didn't know who he was..."

Tears were now running on Regina's cheeks, before she turned toward Daniel and hesitantly, she raised a trembling hand to his cheek.

Robin can't help but think this very hand stroked his cheek too, minutes ago. And the place where it had been is burning his skin right now.

"It is really you..."

Daniel smiled tenderly and leant into her hand,

"Yes."

Her lower lip trembled.

"Oh thank God." she sobbed and the next minute, she is in his arms.

And Robin's heart broke in thousand of pieces.

My first love Daniel was killed because of me. Because he loved me.

Her words were ringing in his head.

My first love Daniel... Loved me...

My love ...

Daniel.

And then, it clicked and Robin fought against the urge to throw up. Her first chance was back. The love of her life. The man she had cast a curse for.

How could he compete with that ?

Robin walked toward his son and took him in his arms, squeezing him perhaps a little tighter before making his way toward the exit.

No one noticed.

She didn't notice.

And that broke his heart more than he cared to admit.

"Why is Gina with another man, Daddy ?" asked a little voice and Robin closed his eyes, refusing to show his son how hurt he actually is.

"It's an old friend of hers." he breathed and his voice sounded broken, even to him.

"Why is Gina not coming with us ? Aren't we sleeping at her big house ?"

Robin's throat squeezed and he tried to chase away thoughts of Roland being tucked safely in this room she made for him while they made passionate love all night. Tried not to think about how it would feel, to wake up with her snuggle against his chest, try to not see her radiant smile and hopeful eyes when they talked about second chances, pixie dust and lion tattoo.

"No my boy, we aren't."

"Why ?"

Robin was searching for an answer when he heard a voice calling him and he had to stop the sudden hope in his heart, then the disapointment.

It was not Regina.

"Mate, slow down."

Robin closed his eyes and laid Roland on the floor, anger surging through his veins.

"Leave me alone."

Hook sighed and tried again,

"We didn't know..."

"I don't care."

Killian grabbed his arm and Robin receded violently,

"Please, Robin." then man stopped but refused to look at him, focusing on keeping his calm in front of his son. The man had taken Regina from him, but punching him again and again couldn't be the solution.

Could it ?

"We didn't know there was something going on between the two of you." resumed the pirate,

Was.

Robin swallowed, then chuckled darkly.

"Well, there isn't anymore now, thanks to you."

Killian looked hurt and somewhere inside, Robin knew he wasn't fair but his heart was breaking all over again and he could not find it in his heart to care.

"Don't say that. Don't you know what they say ? Don't give up on the ones you love. Never."

Robin opened the mouth, then closed it.

"This is none of your business, Killian."

And he took his boy's hand, walking away from the pirate.

Walking away from the dinner.

Walking away from her.

Walking away from his second chance.

Regina and Daniel were now in a more secluded place and he stroked her cheek, smiling tenderly,

"You're still so very beautiful."

She chuckled,

"I'm old."

"You're not !" he exclaimed and that made her chuckle harder.

God, she had missed him.

"I've missed so much of your life already..." he breathed sadly and she took his hand in hers,

"It doesn't matter. You're here now."

And the former Queen laid a kiss on his knuckles but then, just then, she looked by habits at his wrist and something snapped in her.

Robin.

Her eyes widened and she got up suddenly.

How could she has been so very stupid ? And careless ?

God what must he thought of her ?

"Regina ?" asked Daniel, worried.

"I ... I have something to do. Just ... Just wait for me here."

Then she ran out toward the dinner.

When she saw her, Snow got up, still as white as a ghost.

"Is it really him ?" and her voice was still trembling.

"It is." answered Regina. "It seems your daughter saved him right before my mother crushed his heart." Then she turned toward Emma, "I think I owe you a huge and sincere thank you, Miss Swan."

Emma nodded akwardly.

"I only did what I thought was right."

"How is it our memories or even lives didn't change ?" suddenly asked Charming, "What pushed you to the dark side if Daniel wasn't dead ?"

Regina thought for two seconds, then chuckled darkly.

"I know my mother. She would have told me she killed him, so, for my new older self, Daniel was still dead and lost to me." but then, Regina remembered why she came for and her voice turned hesitant, "Have any of you seen ..." she swallowed, "Robin ?"

Emma looked down.

"He left." came Killian's voice and Regina's heart broke painfully in her chest.

"Oh." was all she could muster.

In her head, sentences are whirling,

He's your soul mate ! The man with the lion tattoo !

Hopefully the same thing you see in me, a second chance.

Maybe it's all about timing.

Could their timing be worst ?

Regina didn't realize tears were gathering in her eyes, until she blinked and one fall.

She had to go back to Daniel and get him to her house, he must be tired after all those emotions.

And after that,

Regina knew it.

She needed to talk with Robin.
