A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while but here is another chapter. Please leave a review and thanks for reading!

Robin lay awake in his bed. He couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night. This is not how he had imagined his trip back home. He was supposed to be the happiest man alive. He was getting married in two months for goodness sakes! What a mess everything had turned out to be. He had to face the truth. He was a father of a four-year-old boy and a soon to be father of the child Marion was carrying. He knew picking fights with everyone wasn't going to get him anywhere, but all he could seem to do was be angry. Robin sighed as he got up from the bed, careful not to wake Marian. He had a lot of things to do today.

Regina's eyes fluttered open as she heard the doorbell ring throughout the house. She looked over at the clock on her nightstand. 9:46 AM it read. Regina rolled out of bed and slipped on her robe, knowing her mother would already be gone despite the fact that it was a Sunday. She checked in on Roland who was still fast asleep before going downstairs. Making her way to the door, her face turned hard as she laid her eyes on Robin. As fast as she had opened the door, she tried to close it.

"Regina please!" Robin pleaded, stopping the door from closing.

"What do you want Locksley? Come to insult me some more?" Regina spat as she swung the door back open with such force that he felt the wind on his face.

"I came to apologize." Robin said cautiously as he hung his head low.

"I don't need your apology." Regina spat.

"Regina, I'm sorry. Can't you see that?" Robin's pained face caught her attention but she was still angry.

"You don't get to be sad. Not after all you put me through." She said fighting back the tears. No, she would not cry. Not in front of him anyways.

"Look, I know that I've been a jerk-"

"I'd say you've been more than that." Regina chimed in.

"Okay, I'm not disagreeing with you but fighting with you is not what I want." Robin stammered.

"That's not what it seemed like last night." She retorted, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I admit, I was out of line last night but I want to move past this." Robin sighed. "And the only way I know how is to start by apologizing... but you have to meet me halfway here."

"I can't Robin." Regina shook her head.

"Regina please-"

"No. There's too much hurt in our past and a simple apology can't fix that." She said as she moved to close the door. "Goodbye Robin."

"Regina!"

"Leave quietly before you wake up my son." Regina said sternly, closing the door. Just then a piece of paper slipped under the door frame. Regina picked it up and saw that Robin had left her his phone number. Regina leaned her back against the door and slid down to the floor, putting her head in her hands. What was she going to do? Things were such a mess! Seeing Robin so often didn't help either. Every time she saw him it brought back old feelings. The truth was, as much as she had tried to convince herself, she wasn't over him. "Stop it Regina." She told herself. "He's married."

"Mommy?" Regina lifted her head to see her sleepy toddler coming down the stairs. She stood up quickly and plastered a fake smile on her face. She couldn't let Roland see her like this.

"Your'e awake?" She said as she lifted him up and rested him on her hip.

"I went to your room but you weren't there." Roland said, his little brows furrowed.

"Mommy had to take care of some things. How about some breakfast?" She tried changing the subject. She knew she had succeeded when Roland began rambling on about all the food and sweets he had dreamt of. After feeding Roland, or rather Roland feeding himself as he was convinced he was a "big boy" now, Regina got him dressed. She thought about her and Robin's conversation all morning until she couldn't take it anymore. So she decided to call the only person besides her mother that she trusted with her son. Emma.

"Yeah Regina?" Emma groaned answering the phone.

"I need a favor." She said biting her lip.

"It's Sunday Regina." Emma groaned.

"I know you like to stay in on the weekends but I need you to watch Roland. Just for an hour." She added.

"Of course. Bring him over." Emma easily agreed at the mention of Roland. Emma knew being a single mother was hard for Regina so she always tried to help in any way she could. "Where are you going?"

"I'm taking your advice. I'm meeting Robin to talk." Emma sat up in bed so quick her head was almost spinning.

"Are you serious?" Emma asked with disbelief. Just yesterday she was completely against this plan.

"Yeah, I am." Regina rubbed her forehead. "Look, I'll tell you how it goes, okay?"

"I want details." Emma pushed.

"I'll talk to you later." She said before hanging up. Regina held up the small strip of paper and starred at the number for a long time until she pulled out her phone. Sighing, she dialed the number and felt her heart beating double time every time it rang.

"Regina?" Robin's voice sounded hopeful. "Is this you?"

"Meet me at Granny's in twenty minutes and don't be late." That's all she could say before she hung up. Hoping she hadn't just made a huge mistake.

Regina sat in her car as her thoughts ran through her mind. Was she really doing the right thing letting Robin back into her life? No. This wasn't about her. This was about Roland. Regina sighed as she watched Robin approach Granny's. She'd wanted to make sure he would show up before she made a fool of herself waiting for someone who would never come. She didn't know why, but she was happy he had actually shown up, but somewhere inside she wished he hadn't. That would make things a lot easier. She took a breath as she grabbed her purse and got out of her car to follow Robin into Granny's. She scoped the diner as she entered and saw he was already sitting at a booth in the back. The diner wasn't too full. Only a couple of tables were occupied. As she approached Robin, she could feel his eyes glued to her.

"Hi." Robin said, not sure what to say when she sat down across from him. He wasn't sure what this was about but he hoped that maybe he had gotten through to her this morning and that she'd changed her mind.

"I thought about what you said." Regina started. "And... I guess I'm willing to move on for my son's sake."

"Our son." Robin muttered.

"Robin-"

"He's my son too." He said calmly, looking into her eyes.

"Let's just take it one step at a time." Regina said. She couldn't even think about sharing her baby with anyone else right now. Robin nodded, figuring he'd take what he could get. "I thought about it and I do think that you should be apart of Roland's life." Robin's face lit up at those words. He had gotten through to her.

"Thank you Regina. Thank you for doing this for me." Robin smiled excitedly.

"I'm not doing this for you." Regina corrected him. "I'm doing this for Roland. He deserves to have a father. To keep him from you when you're here would be selfish. Especially since he asks about you so much. Im not playing any games here Robin." She said seriously. "If you hurt him like you hurt me, you will never see him again. Do you understand me?"

"Yes." Robin said. "I'll be the best father a boy could ever have."

"Good." Regina said, rising from her seat.

"When can I meet him?" Robin blurted out.

"I don't know." And with that she turned to leave, feeling tense inside. She just hoped that this time Robin would keep his word. For Roland's sake.
