Epilogue

A few months later.

It's been months now since his return in Storybrooke ( almost a year actually) and Robin had never been happier.

Sometimes it still felt like a dream to be back with Regina, to have her by his sides when he went to sleep and when he woke up. To be able to kiss her and hug her and show her his love anytime he felt like it.

Like a wonderful dream, that is.

He wouldn't say that his return had been easy, because there was still so much to do. For once, he had needed to show Regina that he was there to stay, this time and that nothing could change that ( not again). Then, he had to help Marian adjust in this new life, even if it was easier that he thought it would be. He had to talk to Belle, and honoured his part of the deal (that one had not been easy); he had told her that no one could hate the imp more than he did, but that Robin truly believed that Rumple loved Belle in his strange way and that if he was back with Regina, that was thanks to him, even if he didn't like it. If his son still had his mother with him, that was thanks to the Dark One as well. Belle had promised to think about it and had surprinsingly looked for help in Regina. That one had been unexpected and he could still remember Regina coming home one day, brows furrowed and telling him that the strangest thing happened and that she thought Belle just asked for her advice.

Robin had been so proud of her, that day.

Robin glimpsed the white mansion a few meters away from where he was and swallowed, before walking toward this house that he now shared with Regina, Henry and Roland. He smiled at this family that meant the world to him, but then he lost his smile.

Because he was about to do something really important for their future.

And he didn't really know how Regina would take it.

So he took a deep breath and when he reached the door, opened it softly.

Regina was in the kitchen when she heard the door opened and a smile lit up her face.

She was still trying to get use to the fact that Robin wouldn't leave her again, that this was their happy ending and all that was left to do was enjoy the happiness. Robin's presence was comforted her that this was meant to be and she could not be more grateful for that amazing and stubborn man by her side.

"Regina?" he called and she wiped her hands before removing her apron,

"In the kitchen!"

A few seconds later, Robin appeared in the doorway and his eyes softened seeing her, like it always did.

God, she loved the way he looked at her.

"My love." he breathed and a smile so bright appeared on her face.

Robin was breathless.

As usual when he saw her.

How was it that he was the thief, but she was the one who always stole his breath?

And God if she was beautiful like that. She must have been baking because there was still flour in her soft and longer hair, her brown eyes were wide and full of love, she was wearing a blue dress that left very few to imagination and God,

He was just so in love with her.

He had been waiting for the right moment all week.

This was it.

Robin walked to her and chuckled lovingly before cupping her cheek, and she leant into his hold.

"I've missed you." she breathed and he leant in, kissing her lips tenderly.

"I have something to ask you." he breathed and she frowned slightly, seeing him so shy and anxious suddenly.

"Is everything alright, Robin?"

She was worried, now.

What could he want to say?

There was nothing to say.

They were so happy.

She'd very much let things this way.

Robin chuckled, seeing the wheels turning in her head. He stroked the skin on her cheek and blue eyes met brown.

"I am so utterly in love with you, you do know that, right?" he asked and she smiled, eyes warm with love.

"I do, Robin." she breathed, leaning a bit more on his hand. "You know I love you, too."

"I do." he answered and she smiled.

"What did you want to ask me?" she asked and what he just did work, because she wasn't anxious anymore, just curious.

Robin cleared his throat and took a step back from her.

"What are you doing?" she asked, eyes widening.

"I'm asking you something." he breathed and saw the realization on her face one second before he got on one knee, and she gasped, one hand flying to her mouth as tears filled her eyes.

"Oh my God, Robin..."

"Regina," he said in a voice that somehow shook, he took her hand and squeezed it. "I love you. I love you so, so much. I actually can't remember what else I had to say when I look at you so beautiful in front of me, right now..." she chuckled and a tear escaped her eyes. Robin squeezed her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it tenderly. "The point is that I don't want us to be away from the other ever again. Leaving you behind..."

"Don't, Robin." her voice cut him and it was so vulnerable, she was so open right now and that was one of the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. "I knew you had to."

He smiled.

"I love you." he said again, and another tear escaped her eyes. "And I already have given you all that was mine to give, I know you did the same. There is just one more thing I would like us to be." he smiled and with his free hand picked up something from his pocket. He let go of her hand two seconds and opened the velvet box for her to see the most amazing ring she had ever laid eyes on.

"Oh my God..."

Regina couldn't think. She couldn't think when this man she loved so much was on his knee in front of her, holding the most beautiful ring she had ever seen and saying things that made her love him even more ( and she honnestly believed it wasn't possible until ten minutes ago).

"Regina," he said again. "I know you had not the happiest of marriages but what I'm offering you today, is the chance to taste what actual mariage feels like. Love, trust, happiness. We already share all, but I want to make it even more official to everyone and to us, that I am only yours forever and that you are equally mine. I want to call you my wife and to called your husband. So..." he took the ring, took her hand again and it was trembling against his so he kissed it again before blue eyes met brown. "Regina Mills, will you make me the happiest man in the world by becoming my wife?"

She chuckled happily.

There was only one answer she could give to that.

"Yes, yes I will, Robin. Of course, I will."

She saw a tear escaped his blue eyes as the most beautiful dimple smile she had ever seen lit up his face and with a trembling hand, he slid the ring on her finger and Regina brought him up, so their eyes met. They were so close they could feel each other's breath on their faces.

"Robin," she breathed, one hand on his heart and God, all he wanted was to kiss her, but he would let her say what she got to say, first. "You make me so happy and loved, I love you so much it frightens me sometimes. But I know that we are meant to spend the rest of our lives together and I want nothing else more than to be your wife, and be able to call you my husband. Now, please, will you kiss me?"

They both chuckled at that and he leant in, kissing her with raw passion. Their tongues tangles and he brought her even closer to him.

This was it.

Their happy ending.

Robin knew that he would never let her go again, and that she wouldn't either.

They had made it.

All that was left to do was enjoying this lifetime together that was ahead of them.

With Robin kissing her like she was the most important thing in this world of his, with this new ring on her finger symbolizing all that they had fought for to their happy ending...

Regina knew that what Tinkerbell told her in what felt like a lifetime ago was true,

Pixie dust never lies.

THE END.
