A/N-So tonight is to be a "loose your flip flops episode" I hope it's a good one for OutlawQueen.
"What about Zelena's baby?" Regina asked as she put a hand on her stomach where her own child lay.
"It's not mine," Robin said with a huge relieved smile on his face.
"What? How is it not yours?" Regina asked, relieved, but confused.
"It seems that Zelena was lying the whole time, we never slept together," Robin said as he went on further to explain. "A Doctor Whale came forth and spilled his guts along with other things, apparently he is the father of Zelena's baby. He impregnated her with his frozen sperm per Johnathan's request."
"But why would they all go to that much trouble?" Regina asked.
"To try to get me interested in Zelena instead of you, but they forgot one thing," Robin said.
"What's that?" Regina asked.
"The fact that I'm in love with you," Robin said with a smile.
"You still love me? After everything I have done to you?" Regina asked. Hope beginning to take a hold of her.
"You want to know your worst crime against me?" Robin asked.
"What?" Regina asked, knowing he was about to say that keeping their baby from him would be the number one.
"You stealing my heart," Robin said.
"How did you find out about the baby or where I was?" Regina asked.
"A friend of mine ran into you luckily, he told me about this beauty he had met and he described you perfectly. Then he told me about the baby you were carrying," Robin said as he looked at her stomach, really looked at it. He could see a little difference but not much. He made a motion with his hand towards her stomach, wanting so much to touch it.
Regina took his hand and placed it where the bump was again, Robin was completely fascinated about the baby. He appeared very pleased with the news of her pregnancy, which helped to relieve her fears that he would not want children.
"Did you really think I would never want to have a child with you, Regina?" Robin asked.
"I didn't know what to think after hearing your conversation that day in the library," Regina said. "You had told me before you wanted to wait before we had kids, and then hearing it again, I just focused on those words and put my baby first."
"As you should, and it's our baby," Robin said as his hand curled to her narrow shoulder, Robin lowered his head and claimed her mouth with his. As he prized her lips apart with the tip of his tongue and arrow of sizzling heat slivered through her with such piercing, drugging sweetness that she shivered violently in response. She dug her nails into his shoulders. After a few more moments, Robin pulled away from her to look at her.
"Regina, I have to ask this, but were you ever going to tell me about the baby?" Robin asked as he pressed his forehead against hers.
"I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of your reaction, you were dealing with the Zelena mess as well," Regina answered truthfully. 'I never thought it out all the way, I guess I would have told you after it was born."
"After? You really would have denied me seeing our baby grow inside you? Seeing the changes in you caused by our child?" Robin asked. It still stung that she has actually been considering doing this.
"I know it wasn't right, and I had been planning on telling you that day in the library but I just couldn't after hearing you," Regina said.
"I understand your reasoning to a certain degree, but please...no more secrets and if something I said is bothering you, please tell me. Let's talk whatever it is out," Robin said. "The thought of you out there in the world, carrying my child alone, giving birth in some hospital without me by your side, terrifies me."
"After you left me, I spent several weeks miserable, worrying about what you were doing and who you were with. I had the most dreadful nightmares. I'd wake up in the night sweating, imagining you with another man. Or I'd dream you were in my arms and wake up devastated to be without you...I am not going through that again," Robin said.
"What are you saying?" Regina asked.
"I want you to marry me," Robin said.
"Robin, I am, remember?" Regina asked as she held up her left hand with his ring on her finger.
"No, I want you to marry me, tonight," Robin said.
"What? We can't get married tonight," Regina said.
"Of course we can, I can pull enough strings to get us married, this is where we made love before," Robin said. "I see no reason why we shouldn't get married here."
"But Robin, my mother, our friends and family all expect a great big wedding," Regina reminded him.
"I'll give you that, I'll give you all that after we're married here. I don't want to spend another moment not being your husband," Robin said. He could see the thrill in her eyes at his words and knew she wanted to do this with him.
"You know I almost got married once before and when that didn't work out, I thought I would never want to take that chance again," Regina said as she then took Robin's hand in hers. "But I'm not willing to wait another day to be your wife then. Let's do it."
"Yeah?" Robin said as Regina nodded and he wrapped her in his arms as he kissed her lips.
They were married in a small church in Venice, the church was only lit up by candles as they said their vows to one another.
"Well assuming this child is a boy, its about to be its father's best man," Robin said as he held Regina's hands as they stood in front of the priest.
"Regina, we have come full circle and I am so grateful to you. I pledge myself to you, Regina. To be your husband and to love you for the rest of your life. You're my heart." Robin said as it was then Regina's turn.
"Well, its amazing that our love has carried us this far. We see the best in each other, not caring what the rest of the world sees. I just want you to know that I love you and that no matter what happens, I love you. And I'm more than willing to spend the rest of my life with you." Regina said.
The priest asked for rings and Robin pulled them out of his hand as they placed their rings on one another as he pronounced that they were man and wife. Robin pulled Regina in for their first kiss as man and wife. Robin then moved his hand to the back of her head as he whispered into her ear. "Congratulations, Mom."
