It had been a week since Regina had woken up and she was doing very well. Her bruises were healing and today was the day Robin suggested they have her walk for the first time. Roland of course wanted to see his 'Gina, so He tagged along. Robin pushed the door open and Roland ran in with a smile on his face.
"GINA!" He cried happily as he ran towards her bed and Regina looked over at him and laughed softly, a brilliant smile forming on her face.
"Little Knight" She cooed and reached down to lift him onto the bed. Her arms stronger now that her bruises had faded. Robin chuckled watching the two as he walked in.
"Ms. Mills, are you ready to walk?" He questioned softly.
"I do believe I am, Dr. Locksley" She said setting Roland down and smiled as she gently pulled the blanket away and looked at her legs and sighed softly. Most of the bruises had faded and she gently moved to the edge of the bed and Robin extended his arms to her and she placed her hands on his forearms and pushed herself up. Robin looked at her with a small smile as she Wobbled slightly and she gazed up at him and bit her lip.
"at's it 'Gina!" Roland said proudly as he looked up at her and jumped up and down in excitement. Regina looked down at him and smiled softly.
Robin slowly started to walk backwards, Regina slowly beginning to walk forward. Taking it one step at a time. Roland walked over and made sure that Regina was okay. He was her knight and needed to protect her. Looking down at her feet as she made each step. She could feel her bruises stinging, but she refused to let it stop her.
"How does it feel?" Robin asked causing her to look up at him and sighed.
"It hurts, but not terribly so" She explained and continued to walk slowly with him as they walked out of her room. She had been moved from ICU, once she had woken up. She looked around and it was nice to see something other than her room. Roland was right beside her, gripping the bottom of her gown.
"As long as you're sure you want to do this. You don't have to be walking right now" Robin explained as she continued to walk forward, her hands gripping his forearms.
"I want too, I want to be able to walk again" she explained. She wouldn't let what happened to her ruin her life. She smiled down at Roland and he smiled back up at her.
"Papa, 'Gina 'an do it!" He said sternly and Regina laughed softly.
"Yeah- I can do it" She smirked softly before they continued to walk slowly. Roland got distracted by a ball he saw bouncing and ran towards it yanking on Regina's nightgown causing the woman to lose her footing and fall forward. Robin was quick and wrapped his arms around her waist as she let out a small gasp. She looked up at him, her hands resting on his chest as her lips parted.
"Thank you" she whispered and tried to stand up but couldn't. She sighed softly and dropped her head to his chest.
"I think that's enough for one day" Robin said and bent down to take Regina in his arms. Wrapping one arm around her back and the other under her knees. Regina sighed as he did and closed her eyes. Ignoring the feeling in the pit of her stomach. This all needed to stop, she couldn't take it. She wanted to believe that maybe he cared about her, but she knew that wasn't the truth. He was just a doctor caring for a patient. Nothing more. Roland hurried after them as Robin carried Regina into her room. She rested her hand on his chest as he gently lied her into the bed and examined her legs.
"We can go walking again tomorrow, but I'll leave Roland at home" He explains and Regina merely nods. Roland comes trotting into the room with the ball in his hand.
"Okay" Regina said simply her voice a little groggily. She did her best to look away and try not to make eye contact. Robin let out a breath and gently covered her legs with the blanket before lifting Roland into her bed and taking off his shoes.
"Nap 'ime Gina" He said with a yawn and Regina wrapped her arm around him and smiled softly.
"Sleep well you two" Robin said gently and kissed Roland's forehead and then by reflex her pressed a gentle kiss to Regina's as well. Regina's eyes closed and her lips parted feeling his kiss. She didn't dare open her eyes, Roland yawned drawing robins attention and he ruffled his hair.
"Bye Papa" he murmured softly quickly falling asleep against Regina. He eyed the two of them before slowly walking out of the room. Once Regina heard the door close her eyes slowly opened.
"What are you gonna do Mills" She murmured to herself and sighed.
Olivia Benson let out a breath as she closed the file on Regina Mills. Her husband Elliot came up behind her pressing a soft kiss to her head.
"Are you okay, Liv?" He asked her and she sighed shaking her head. This woman had been put through hell, and has talked to the police many time, but she never pressed charges. Maybe this time she will.
"No, I'm about to head over to the hospital, Regina Mills finally woke up from her coma. I need to talk to her about her attack" Olivia explains and pushes her file to the side running a hand through her hair and looking over at Elliot.
"That's her file? Olivia that's huge.." Elliot breathed moving behind her as he began to gently massage her shoulders. A soft hum falling from her lips as she dropped her head slightly.
"I know it is, this woman has been through so much El, and the worst part is- She's the 'Mills' daughter. She uses a false last name though, I suppose to keep her identity a secret" Olivia said sighing softly dropping her head on her desk as Elliot's hands moved to her lower back.
"Maybe she doesn't want to be found by her parents. Don't call them Olivia, she's a grown woman..." Elliot explained and Olivia nodded with a huff.
"I know, I know" she breathed softly and he pulled back and she slowly stood.
"Come with me, you can talk to her doctors" Olivia suggested and he nodded taking her hand in his as they made their way to the hospital.
Robin had been notified that the police were stopping by and took Roland home and ignoring Marian as he tucked his son in for his nap, they had spent the whole day with Regina. Well he did and Robin was working. It was now very late, almost ten when he walked back into her hospital room. Smiling softly, watching her fast asleep. Her features so soft as she slept. Walking over to her as he gently caressed her cheek. Not wanting to scare her awake. She hummed softly against him but she was still asleep.
"Ms. Mills" His voice a mere whisper as he gently traced her jaw with his thumb. Her lips parted and she leaned into his touch gently.
"Regina" He used her first name for the first time as gently running his fingers through her soft dark locks. Her eyes slowly opened and she smiled at him before letting out a soft yawn.
"You called?" She questioned her voice raspy as she peered up at him his fingers still tangled in her hair, her head resting in his hand.
"This probably isn't hat you want to hear, but the police are here" He whispered softly and she sighed.
"Will you stay?" She questioned softly, even though she refused to get attached, having the comfort of another person in there was what she needed. After all, some of the police she's met with over the years were the kindest, and she knew Robin would stop them before they hurt her. She saw the way he looked at her, she chose to ignore it, but she knew it was there. Some underlying feeling he had for her and maybe she felt the same, but she would never admit that.
"Of course" He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead before pulling away his hand moving out of her hair as he moved to her side and pulled up the chair.
Olivia and Elliot had been watching the whole interaction and Olivia was trying to hide a smile and Elliot a scoff. Olivia saw the beauty in the potently relationship between Doctor and Patient, but Elliot on the other hand was skeptical the Doctors intentions.
"Regina" Olivia spoke stepping forward and Regina looked over and laughed softly as she sat up.
"Benson, how you been?" She questioned softly and took the water Robin handed her; her voice raspy from sleep.
"Married now, certainly better than you I'm guessing?" Olivia spoke walking over and standing at the end of the bed.
"You two know each other?" Robin questioned and Regina nodded.
"Detective Benson here has gotten my case before, she helped me get off the streets" Regina explained assuming he knew she worked the streets. She wasn't proud of it, by then again she was proud of half the shit she had to do to survive.
"And you haven't been in the hospital since, what happened?" Olivia spoke concern in her voice.
"Mmm you know who" she mused and closed her eyes leaning back in the bed. Robin felt a bit out of place. He knew most of Regina's story. Only because he read about it on sheets of paper, but she never told him. He knew she probably never would, but he wanted to hear her story from her.
"Regina you can't keep letting him hurt you like this" Olivia reasoned and Elliot stayed back keeping his eyes on Robin.
"I was walking back to my apartment when he attacked me with two of his men... Killian and Neal I believe. Then again, it was dark" Regina sighed softly as it came back to her. This was what she hated the most, reliving the assault.
"You gonna press charges this time?" Olivia questioned Regina. Letting out a long breath she looked over at Robin and then to Olivia.
"You know that answer..." She murmured lowly.
"Regina, he's just going to keep hurting you! You thought you were safe getting off the streets and he's made it clear that you're not" Olivia tried to reason with her, just like she did each and every time.
"If I press charges, he will be after me, i would never be safe. People would want to kill me" she explained and closed her eyes covering her face with her hands. Robin looked at her and gently rubbed her forearm and looked to Olivia.
"Thank you Detectives, we will be in touch" Robin explained softly and Olivia merely nodded. She knew she wouldn't get far with Regina. She never does, but she hoped that maybe this time she would. Olivia took Elliot's hand as they started to walk out.
"Congratulations you too" Regina called out softly and Olivia smiled softly. Regina knew that Olivia had liked Elliot all those years ago when they first met. She was happy that Olivia found her happy ending. Olivia of all people deserved it, Regina on the other hand did not, well, according to her she didn't.
"You can go now" Regina explained softly, pulling away from his touch. She was letting him get far to close to her. She needed to leave and that's what she intended to do. She was going to run- tonight. She couldn't be in this hospital any longer. Letting out a soft sigh he nodded.
"Of course" Robin said standing up and gazing at her and sighing softly. "Tomorrow we can work on walking more, Okay?" He questioned as he checked her vitals waiting for her answer.
"Yeah- Tomorrow" Regina agreed and lied back on her bed with a sigh. Robin nodded and looked back at her before turning off the light and leaving the room.
Regina was finally able to get herself out of the bed. She changed into the washed clothes sitting by her beside. She looked around and sighed. She took a piece of paper and quickly scribbled on it. Quickly grabbing her bag and walking out of the room. Sneaking down the hall and out the fire exit. Her legs still weak so she moved slower than usual. When morning came Robin would find her note.
'Dr. Locksley + Roland,
Thank you for the smiles.
