Hello, guys!

This is my first attempt for a fanfic!
English is not my native language, so forgive me for all mistakes.
A huge thank you for Gabi and Monica. You're the best betas in the world! *-*

Anyway, I didn't like this plot about Zelena' pregnancy. Don't get me wrong but I don't think this baby was a good idea. Especially the way the baby was conceived: by revenge, lies and without love.
And I'd really love if they showed us more about Robin's POV. Everything happened too fast. Regina forgave him and accepted this situation so fast and they didn't show us how Robin is feeling about this mess! Zelena used him! For God sakes!
I love Robin and Regina and I think they deserve more than this!
And no, I don't accept the way they did that to them!
So, I'm sure some people won't like about how I'll fix this mess but I think it's the only way (at least for me) the things can end better!

Just a note: in this fanfic, Emma didn't turn into the Dark One. The darkness is lost in somewhere. At least for while!

So, here's the first chapter!
Enjoy and leave a comment! *-*


CHAPTER 1

She was off. Was she happy? Yes, but something wasn't right. She wasn't the same person with him anymore. She just…couldn't be anymore. It had been two months since everything had happened, since she went to New York and figured out the truth: her soulmate had moved on with "his wife" who was actually her wicked sister. The worst part was that now she was pregnant, she was having a child with him.

Of course Regina understood that awkward situation, he didn't know that woman was her sister, but he had moved on, hadn't he? And all that had happened too fast! One day, he chose Regina but three days later, as Zelena teased her in one of their conversations, he had decided to move on. Robin had even said that he loved Marian and moved on with her.

Maybe if he had waited… maybe if he had tried to find a way back to Regina... maybe if he had fight for her! But he didn't!


** FlashBack on **

Regina was in the hospital to check on Zelena. After that mess caused because the author put them into an alternative universe, Regina hadn't talked to Zelena. She had only asked the doctors if her sister was alright, but after one month, she had to see Zelena for herself. And, this time, Robin was going with her. They were on this together, as they said.

"Well, well! Look who is finally here!" Zelena exclaimed as they entered her room.

"I can see you are fine"! Regina replied.

"Yes, still pregnant and now… married to Robin!" Zelena said with a sarcastic tone.

Robin lowered his head and took a deep breath.

This is not going to be easy. He thought to himself.

And then, Zelena added:

"As you can see, little sis, no matter in what universe we stay, you can't be happy!"

"I think you're wrong. I am happy because I have everything that I love with me." Regina smiled victoriously, grabbed Robin's hand and squeezed it. He squeezed it back and kissed the side of her head.

"Oh, really? Please! I've been watching you for a long time and I can tell you're a lot of things, but stupid? I really didn't think you were!" Zelena said pointing her finger to her sister.

"What the hell are you talking about? You're jealousy of me, you always have been!" Regina exclaimed.

"Well, you're right about the part that I was jealous of you, but now I'm not anymore." Zelena said and approached Robin.

"Did you tell her the whole truth, thief?" Zelena teased Robin.

"Did you tell her about our heated nights when you begged to fuck me? Did you tell her that not even one week passed since we left Storybrooke and you said that you loved me and fucked me?" Zelena was walking towards Regina and looking at Robin, throwing these offensive words over her shoulder.

"And oh… Regina, now I understand why you are with him! He is really good!" As soon as Zelena said these words, Regina slapped her in the face.

"Ouch!" Zelena put her hand in her face and added:

"You can slap me as much as you want but this won't change the fact that your true love left you here and moved on with me in one week and didn't even think about you!" Zelena said gruffly towards her sister.

"Or did you think about her when you were fucking me every single night, Robin?" She approached Robin again, too close for his like.

"As I can remember, it wasn't her name you were screaming while I pleasured you, right? " Zelena said, playing with her fingers in the collar of his shirt.

"So, sis! I have pity on you. Are you sure this man, who did all that, really loves you? I beg to differ!" Zelena said with a wicked and big smile.

"Do you miss me?" Zelena completed whispering these words in Robin's ears.

"That's enough!" Robin screamed and took a step back, releasing himself from Zelena's grip.

"Come on, Regina! Let's get out of here!"

Regina was frozen in her place, looking into nothing. She was trying to absorb everything Zelena had said.

Had Robin moved on in less than one week?

Did he sleep with that woman every single night? Did he scream that woman's name?

That was too much for her. She couldn't think, the room started to feel so small for her and she couldn't even breathe properly. She had been an idiot for thinking that Robin had made sex with Zelena just once. Of course not! The woman was pregnant and that rarely happens in the first time of an intercourse.

Did he have moved on in less than one week?

Jesus!

Regina wanted to disappear from there. She didn't want to see Robin anymore.

That was disgusting! She wanted to throw up. Maybe Zelena was right and maybe he was with her because he didn't have any other choice. Maybe he didn't love her enough.

"Regina!" It was Robin's voice that took her from these thoughts.

"Let's go"! He completed. And she did.

Afterwards, they didn't talk about that anymore. Regina was just pretending she was fine, however she wasn't. Zelena's words kept stuck in her mind and hunting her dreams and thoughts every single day more and more.

** FlashBack off **


Regina knew that she kind of gave him her blessing to moving on, but he didn't even try to find a way back to her. He didn't even call her to tell he was alive, that he was fine.

Does he really care about her feelings? Does he really love her?

Or was he with her because he hadn't any other option? What if Marian were really Marian? Well, in that case he would never be by her side in her bed now, cuddling with her and spreading all his warm breath on her neck.

The worst part was that Regina had never told him how she was really feeling about the situation, but now it was too late. She had told him they'd face that together, after all, it wasn't his fault…or was it?

But God, the baby!

He was having a baby with her sister! A baby that she'd never be able to give to him, to give to herself. She was barren and she did that to herself on purpose.

And now what? Every time she looks at that child, she'd remember that, she'd remember that mess.

What if Zelena needs him because of the baby? Would he leave Regina again because of his honor?

What if it was a girl?

Regina was so confused and insecure. Of course she would understand him again; the baby was his and children are the most important thing in the world. Robin was born to be a father, she knew that….a father he'd never be to a baby conceived by her.

Jesus! She needed to get up!

The past two weeks had been the worst ones. She was not on the mood for anything. She wouldn't let him touch her anymore. Sometimes, she just wanted to rip some hearts out and see if she could get better.

She was getting crazy!

She noticed that tears were freely dropping of her eyes. Since when she had been crying? She was supposed to be happy. She had Robin, she had Henry and now Roland.

Did she really have him?

Slowly, she tried to get up without waking him. She walked towards the bathroom and splashed the water on her face in a tentative to expulse her demons. The sun was beginning to show its lights and she decided to go to work, to occupy her mind with the idiots' city's issues and try to think about something else.

She got dressed with her mayor clothes as fast as she could because she didn't want to face Robin right now. She didn't want to speak with him with puffy eyes because he'd notice she had been crying.

However, it was too late: as she left the bathroom, there he was, standing right next to her with a confused look.

"Good morning, love. You're up early" He came close to her, kissed her cheek and held her by her waist, staring at her.

He was waiting for an answer and Regina froze. She couldn't face him right now, she was vulnerable, insecure and angry. She couldn't tell him the truth. Or could she?

Come on, Regina! Answer him!

"Morning. I just have a lot of things to deal with in the town hall." She tried to sound as firm as she could. He nodded, but didn't buy her excuses.

"But it's 6 in the morning! The sun has not risen yet!" He replied with a confused look and put a lock of hair behind her ear.

"What is it?" He leaned his head and stared directly at her eyes.

Regina felt a burning sensation was beginning to sting at the corner of her eyes again. She couldn't cry in front of him because if she did that, he wouldn't let her go without an explanation. She would have to explain things to him and she had no conditions for doing that right now. So, she remained in silence, trying to stand strong and blinking away the unshed tears.

"Have you been crying, Regina?" He completed and looked directly at her, blue eyes meeting brow.

She couldn't convince him with her excuses and she had to try another approach. She took a deep breath and concentrated on her next action. She looked at him, opened her mouth but nothing came. So…. she kissed him.

That was good! That will be enough!

They ended their kiss and slowly, Regina took his arms off around her softly and walked in silence on the room to catch her purse.

It worked! She thought with herself.

But before she could leave the room, he stopped her again.

"Regina, tell me, please! What's wrong?" He asked her as he hugged her from behind and deposited soft kisses on her neck.

"And don't kiss me again because I know you just want to shut me up!" He added.

Dammit! He knew her.

Of course he'd know she was weird. That soulmate's crap could do these things to you. You just knww when the other one was lying or hiding something from you.

But what could she tell him?

That was definitely not the right moment, and maybe, there would never be a right one again. Maybe she had missed her chance to tell him everything she was feeling for inside, and now, she couldn't do that to him, because she had said they would face this together. She had to stick to her promise, but for that, she had to get away from this room and away from him as fast as she could.

"Robin, everything is fine. I promise you! I just had a bad time sleeping." She sighed.

"I really have a lot of things to deal with today… and, you know, the sooner I start the sooner I'll finish, right?" She asked turning around to face him with her puppy eyes and irresistible cute face.

"Right! But that is not the first time you have a bad time sleeping, Regina. Are you felling alright? Maybe you should go to the doctor and he can recommend some medicines for you. You know I'm not used with these modern things, but David said the doctors in this world can do magic!" He chuckled at her with his damn beautiful dimples.

That was so difficult for her because, despite everything, she loved him. She loved him especially in the mornings, with his hair all messy and sleepy eyes. That's why she was there facing everything quiet and pretending she was alright. She thought if she kept thinking and wishing for everything to be fine, one day that would have to happen. She really wanted everything to be alright, she just wanted to be happy with the man she loved and their sons.

She just loved him and their life together, but did he love her in the same way? She was not sure about that anymore and that was killing her. She wanted desperately to trust him again, but she didn't want words, but actions.

But for now, she'd just appreciate him. Them. Their moments before something bad happened and changed everything again.

"I love you." She said to him with love and fear mixed in her eyes.

"I love you too." He said and kissed her with all his fears of losing her again.

"I'm going to cook our breakfast. Wake up the boys and don't let them fool you again pretending they're sick. It's a school day. They need to get up soon." She said with a smirk on her face.

Then, she was out of the room, leaving a worried Robin behind.

He knew something was wrong with her. He had made a mistake, he knew that, but he didn't know that wicked woman was pretending to be his dead wife. A woman who had killed his real wife and assumed her body and identity.

How could he know about that?

He had made the wrong choice again and maybe that would costs him his happiness. And worst, the happiness of the woman he really loved.


Her life with Robin was doing fine, until that damn conversation with Zelena. They were trying to adjust into their new routine. Robin wasn't living with her officially, but lately he had been spending almost every night with her. Sometimes, Roland joined them in their movie nights.

Last night they had ordered pizzas and watched some movies with Henry. Roland loved Henry and Henry was kind of a big brother to the little boy. Sometimes Henry was angry at Roland because the boy was kind of stick with him without giving a break, but they were along.

Regina loved their morning routine when all of them were in her house. It was a mess now and then, a lot of screaming and "mom", "stop", "Roland", "Henry" and "nooo", but she had never felt her house so warm and a real "home" as now.

She started to cook their breakfast and after a few minutes, she could hear usual complaining coming from upstairs. Good, Robin had woken up the boys, or at least he was trying to. She smiled and shook her head.

What the hell was she thinking this morning? Was she trying to torture herself?

She had to stop doing that, hurting herself. As she had learned recently, she was the only one responsible for her happy ending, and she would get it. She only had to talk to Robin, a sincere and final conversation and then they'd be alright.

The breakfast was almost ready and Regina was about to go upstairs to see what was happening.

"Roland, stop throwing a tantrum and come downstairs right now! Do you want me to go up there again?" Robin was in the living room impatient, looking upstairs and waiting for his son.

"I'm not going to school without my monkey!" Roland replied and appeared upstairs in his school's uniform with his arms crossed against his little chest.

Robin took a deep breath and was about to say something to his son when Henry headed downstairs but, before, made a mess on Roland's hair and said:

"Stop been a brat, Roland. Only babies keep carrying plushies around!"

"I'm not a baby!" Roland replied but followed Henry downstairs.

Well done! Thought Robin with a smirk on his face.

Robin entered the kitchen, hugged Regina from behind and kissed her cheek.

"Do you need some help?" He said as he filled a cup of coffee for him.

"Just put the plates on the table, please. What's wrong with Roland?" She asked.

"Good morning, mom. Good morning, Robin." Before Robin could answer, Henry greeted them as he entered the kitchen and sat on a chair, followed by a sulky Roland who said nothing, just stayed at the threshold with his arms crossed.

"Roland, did you sleep with Regina?" Robin asked as he saw that his son did not greet her good morning.

"No, you did!" Roland said with an innocent face making Robin come red in one second as he almost splashed the coffee out of his mouth. Regina turned around and couldn't control her laughing, leaving a confused Roland.

"I can't wait to see your face when he starts to ask about how people make babies!" Henry said teasing Robin.

"Henry, eat your pancakes, honey!" Regina said firmly, with a warning tone to her voice.

Robin walked around the table, sitting right next to Henry and gently touched his shoulder.

"Well, in that case, I think you'd be the perfect one to explain it to him, right?" Now Robin was teasing and Henry just rolled his eyes.

"Roland, come and sit, honey. I made chocolate pancakes, don't you want some?" Regina asked Roland who was still standing close to the door.

"I'm not eating and I'm not going to school!" The little boy replied.

"What happened, sweetheart?" Regina approached him and kneeled in front of him.

"I can't find my monkey!" He said with tears in his eyes.

"Oh… I know where your monkey is." She tried to explain to him.

"Really?" He widened his eyes and a little smile came to his face.

"Yes, but I'm afraid he's not going to school with you today. I washed him up!" She clarified to him.

"Why? Go get him to me then!" The little boy frowned to her.

"Roland! Don't talk to Regina like that, and she is not your maid"! Robin warned him with a serious tone.

"Honey, he was really dirty. I had to wash him and he is not dry yet but tomorrow you can have him, ok?" Regina said with a soft voice and caressed his cheek.

"Right. I'm sorry!" Roland sadly replied and Regina hugged him.

"It's ok, baby. Let's have breakfast now or else you'll be late for school today."

"I don't know why you keep spoiling him like that. When I was at his age you never let me do everything I wanted." Henry said.

"First of all, I was the Evil Queen. Second, I really did a lot of things you wanted me to do but you were really stubborn. And I'm sure you can't remember many things from when you were his age, Henry." And Regina completed, teasing him:

"But I can remember that you had a doll that you kept carrying around everywhere you went." Now she was wickedly smiling at him.

Henry widened his eyes and he defended himself.

"You're just trying to embarrass me, mom. I don't remember having a doll."

"Really? I'm sure I have her kept safe in my closet".

"Don't worry, my boy. I used to have tea with imaginary friends when I was young." Robin tried to help Henry.

"So, you are not Robin Hood but the Mad Hatter? Did you talk with rabbits too, Robin?" Regina couldn't control herself anymore and even Roland started to laugh freely.

"It's not funny, milady." He point that out, but was smiling too.

Regina looked around the table, seeing them all eating and laughing and she couldn't stop the tears coming to her eyes. They were becoming her family and she had never had this in her life. The feeling was so good and she couldn't believe she had that right now. She couldn't believe the Evil Queen could be that happy in her life. She took the image in, trying to memorize the moment. She realized that the life she was having now was her happy ending and she wouldn't let anyone or anything take it away from her. Not even herself.

She only needed to believe him again, in his feeling for her. She needed to be sure he really loved her, and of course, she needed to forget about Zelena's words. The past was supposed to stay in the past. Since she had agreed to move on with him and face the situation together, she had to forget about that. She would talk to Robin as soon as she could and let him know about her feelings and insecurities. He deserved to know and she deserved to talk, and then, they would build their lives together.


Robin was still learning about the modern stuffs of this world, but there was one thing he was pretty good at: driving. He loved to be behind a wheel. He loved cars. Henry and he had spent almost two months fixing an old car that Regina kept in her garage. Of course they counted on some mechanical's help and internet searches, but Robin had the ability of fix those machines.

The old klunker, as Henry called it, was now running on Storybrooke streets. Of course that thing they called their car still needed some repairs, some painting, some details as the rearview, the passenger's window handle…. But it was perfect. The car was perfect for them. Henry loved to drive it and Robin always let him, without Regina knowing, of course. They had this pact not to tell Regina that Henry was driving the car but the boy was pretty good at it. Actually, Henry had taught to Robin a lot of things about driving… like starting the car. So, they were proud about their accomplishment. The car was running, wasn't it? That was enough for them!

But had not been easy repairing the car, especially because of Regina. Let's say she was not amused about that. Particularly the greasy hands on her refrigerator, the dust on her back-yard and the traces of oil on her porch. Oh, not mention their dirty clothes. And of course Roland always helped them. In fact, it almost drove her crazy!

Robin could remember one day he and the boys had made a pretty awful mess in her garage. He had thought that in that day Regina would kill him for sure.


** FlashBack On **

Robin became desperate when he saw the situation of the boys' clothes. Regina would kill him, without a doubt. He analyzed the situation and had the amazing idea of washing their clothes.

Brilliant!

He would wash everything and when Regina got home, the clothes would be already dry.

Excellent, Robin!

He set his plan in action: he told Henry to help Roland with the shower and put the clothes in the washing machine.

Jesus! Why so many buttons on this damn thing?

However, he could read the labels, he had lived in the forest for almost his whole life but he wasn't that ignorant. He did exactly as the instructions said and turned on the machine.

Wait! What about the soap? He had to put the soap, right?

Too much buttons, too much labels for washing some clothes? Where would he supposed to put the soap? Too many compartments and Robin was lost.

He was stupid! Yes, he was.

He almost grabbed all the clothes and went to some river to wash them. He really hated that stupid machine. But, no… now it was an affair of honor and he would do the task properly.

He saw a box labelled washing powder and silent celebrated it. He opened the machine's cover and put some of that thing inside of it, not caring about the right compartment.

Now, how much of this thing he should put on it?

Well, Regina always said she liked everything perfectly clean, so he didn't saved it; he put the whole box's content on the machine and when he was about to close the cover…

"ROBIN!" Henry screamed from upstairs.

Immediately, Robin made his way to boys, maybe something bad was going on with them. When he arrived in the bathroom, he almost cried. Instantly, he put one of his hand on his forehead and kept rubbing.

All that had been a bad idea.

"That's ok! We can fix it!" Robin said when he saw the desperate face of Henry.

"How? My mom's bathtub is black, Robin! Black! Full of grease and I can't take this off! Soap is not working and the more I rub, the more it's spreading around. Look at Roland's face!" Henry was almost screaming now.

"Do you think she would notice it?" Robin didn't know what he was talking about anymore.

Of course Regina would notice, your idiot.

Henry just shook his head.

"We are screwed!" He whispered.

"Yeah, daddy! We're screwedddd!" Said Roland, still naked and sitting inside of the bathtub. Robin only could see his eyes behind the all grease spreading around his face and his hair. If that was not a desperate situation, Robin could laugh about it.

He took another look and shook his head.

Jesus! Roland's face was really black!

He had to act, and act fast. In one hour, Regina was coming home and God helps him if he didn't fix that mess before she arrived there.

"Alright, I'll go to the garage and try to find something to clean this grease. You two just wait here. Don't make a move, unless you two want to spread this on the whole room."

Robin came back a few minutes later with bottles of varnish remover and thinner.

"Ok! Henry, you try to clean up the bathtub while I'm trying to clean up Roland." Henry nodded and they started their jobs.

"Daddy, this thing stinks!" Roland complained as Robin started to remove the grease from his face.

"I know my boy, but I can't even see your face through all this grease. So, you'll have to hang on!"

One hour passed and they had done a pretty good job with the grease. Regina's bathtub was white again and Roland was a bit of red, but clean.

Now, they were all watching TV and pretending nothing happened. They warned Roland not to tell Regina the truth, saying this was their boy's secret game.

On time, Regina entered the house, making the boys froze and looking at Robin. He just gave them a comforting look, which implied everything was alright.

"Good night, Regina." Roland said and ran to her.

"Good night, sweet heart." Regina said hugging him.

She stopped and twitched her nose, smelling Roland's hair.

"Honey, what is this heavy smell on your hair?" She was sniffling his hair, trying to figure out what was that weird scent.

Henry looked directly at Robin with a panic face. He cleared his throat and made his way to Regina, giving her a kiss.

"Hi, my love. How was your day?" Robin greeted her, trying to change the subject.

"Very tiring! What happened with Roland? Why does he smell funny?" Regina was not the kind of woman that dropped things easily.

"I'm not sensing any smell, Regina! Are you, Henry?" Robin said and pretended to smell Roland's hair.

Henry just nodded and diverted his look back to the TV.

"Ok, I'm letting it pass and pretending that I'm buying that." She said with a knowing look towards them. She knew the boys had done something wrong but she was too tired to start a fight with them.

"I'm going to the kitchen to start dinner. Can you watch things for me while I take a shower, Robin? I just want to lie down for a bit in my bathtub." Regina said, leaving Henry with widened eyes.

"Of course, love." Robin cleared his throat before answer and nodded.

"I'm putting some water on the fire for the spaghetti." Regina said and made her way to the kitchen.

Robin sat close to Henry and said:

"See? She'll never know."

"ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY!"

They froze, listening Regina's screams from the kitchen.

So now what? There wasn't grease on the kitchen, was it?

Immediately, Robin made his way to the kitchen and stopped dead on his tracks when he saw the picture: Regina was with a hand on her hip, angry eyes and bubbles were flying away around the entire place.

Then, he remembered that maybe, just maybe, he may have done something wrong with that damn machine. Maybe it was too much soap? He had completely forgotten about that stupid thing. He definitely couldn't manage that.

Taking a look on the image, he chuckled.

"Is this funny, Robin? What the hell did you do?" Regina exclaimed and waved her hand through the air.

"Hun…" He cleared this throat and scrubbed a hand over his mouth, trying to hide his laugh.

"Hun, what?" Her eyes narrowed.

"Think on the bright side, now you don't have to lie down in your bathtub to enjoy the bubbles!" He chuckled shyly.

Regina screwed her eyes shut and took a deep breath, trying to prevent herself from killing him.

** Flashback Off **


There had been a lot of mess during the repair of the car and that scene had been just one of the several embarrassing and desperate situations they've gone though. But now, he was proud about their work, he was driving their car that they fixed. Almost every morning he got to ride with the boys for school and that was their time to talk and have some fun.

Robin pulled over the car when they arrived at school.

"Bye, boys. Be nice!" He said.

"Robin, what's going on with my mom? Did you guys fight?" Henry asked him after he got off of the car, supporting his elbows on the passenger's opened window which was opened, by the way, because that window never closed properly. They still had to fix that too.

"No, we didn't fight. I don't know what's wrong with her, but I'm almost sure is related to the Zelena's pregnancy. I'm giving her some space, but I'm talking to her soon and we're resolving all that. Don't worry." Robin said trying to comfort Henry.

"Ok, just… don't hurt her." And before Robin could answer, Henry completed:

"I really like our lives now. I enjoy Roland and you being in our house. I just want things to continue like that." Henry finished.

"They will, Henry. I'm talking to her soon, I promise you."

Henry nodded, grabbed Roland's little hand, told their goodbyes and made their way to the school' gates.

Robin eyes were full of unshed tears, he was mesmerized with the image. He not only had Regina in his life, but he and his son had Henry too, and together, they'd start a family.

Sometimes, like this morning, he felt he was losing Regina. He could see she was different. At the beginning, she was doing fine but these last few weeks she had been pushing him aside. He had decided to give her some space, knowing it was a really complicated situation, but he couldn't lose the life he was living now. And he wouldn't.

He loved Regina and their boys. He loved that life. He wouldn't give up on that, he would fight for Regina, for them. And then, they'd be together as a family.

But truth to be told, they already were family.
