Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 23

Regina's POV:
I finally calmed down after about 3 minutes. But I didn't let go of Robin, I was too scared to do it. He tried to take me hands away from his shirt but I gripped it tighter and whimpered, while looking up at him. Just then there was a knock on the door making me jump and have tears running down my face.

"Hey, you're ok it is probably just Mary Margaret. Come in," he said. And he was right it was just Snow.

"Hey, I have the clothes." She softly said. "Is she ok?"

"Yes, she just had a panic attack and then you knocked on the door causing you to jump. But she will be ok,"

"Oh ok, anywhere Emma is outside whenever you two are ready to leave," she said putting the bag on the chair.

"Thank you," Robin told her.

"You're welcome," she said before leaving.

"Ok let's get you dress," he said.

That is when I froze. I didn't want him to see the bruises all over my body. I know he seen the ones on my thighs and arms but those where different than the ones on my stomach. When the doctor had to check my stomach I had Robin close his eye because I didn't want him to see them.

"N-no," I told him. "I c-c-can d-do it," I stuttered sacred.

"Baby it is ok," he said. I just stared at him while he helped me change my clothes.

I could see the anger in his eyes when he seen my stomach. I had hand marks everywhere, so I knew Robin would be angry when he seen them. Which is exactly why I didn't want him to see them.

I look at him while he stared at my stomach and started to cry. I hated that he had to see me like this and there was nothing he could do about it. He quickly got my clothes on and wrapped his arms around me.

"Shh you're ok," he told me.

"Y-y-you're mad a-about t-the m-marks" I hiccup while sobbing.

"Yes I'm mad, baby." I started to cry harder thinking it is my fault he is mad. "But I'm mad at Gold. Not you. There is nothing you could have done," he told me.

I hiccup and look at him. This isn't my fault? I let Gold hurt me though. He should be mad at me right?

"B-but I-I let G-gold h-h-hurt me," I cried to him.

"You couldn't have stopped him," he said brushing some hair out of my face and wiping the tears.

Robins POV:
After having that little breakdown I finally got her fully dressed and shoes on. We walked out and Emma was waiting for us. We got home and she wanted to go lay down.

"Ok, why don't you go upstairs and I will get us some water," I tell her. The moment I said that she had tears in her eyes. I sigh. "Come on, you can help me get water," I tell her, she smiles a little. I can't help but smile back.

We got our water, she then walked over to the pantry and looked in it. She looked at me before pointing at something.

"P-p-popcorn," she stutter in a whisper.

"Sure baby," I chuckled because she was too short to get them herself. I kissed her head before grabbing one.

"N-not f-f-funny," she said crossing her arms pouting. I put the popcorn in the microwave before walking over to her wrapping my arms around her waist and kissing her pout.

"You're adorable when you pout," I tell her. She looked down blushing. I lift her head by her chin and kiss both of her cheeks causing her to turn even more red.

"S-stop. My f-face I-is hot," she tells me. Just then the microwave goes off. I walk over taking it out and grabbing a bowl. I poured the popcorn into the bowl before talking her hand and heading upstairs.

I put the popcorn on the nightstand before getting some pjs out of the dresser for me.

"Want some pjs?" I asked her. She nodded before pointing to one of my hoodies that were hanging in the door. "You want to wear my hoodie to bed?" I asked she quickly nodded her head.

I walk over grabbing the hoodie tossing it to her before giving her some of her shorts. We both change, she looked adorable in my hoodie because is basically sallowed her. It came down to down passed her mid-thigh.

We both got into bed. She laid in between my legs, she turn sideways and her head always on my shoulder. The popcorn was next to use. We both agreed on The Office because we both enjoy it.

After about two episodes the popcorn was gone and Regina was now laying fully on me. I had my arms around her waist and our legs were intertwined. After a few more happens she stopping laughing all together, her breathing was even and she went limp against me. I looked down and she was passed out. She was honestly adorable when she slept.

I move her off me and she whimpered and opened her eyes tiredly.

"Shh, you're ok," I said rubbing her back softly. She cutely looked up at me before slowly closing her eyes and falling asleep again.

I watch another episode so I knew she was in a good sleep. Hopefully. I move away from her she let out a soft whimper, but didn't wake up. I walked into the bathroom because I really had to go.

Regina's POV:
I roll over to thinking Robin was there but he wasn't, I open my eyes and shot up. He wasn't even in bed. I whimper as tears started to stream down my face.

"R-R-Robin," I cried out.

The bathroom door opened and I seen him. I ran to him and basically jumped into his arms. Wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck has I also put my face into his neck. And cried.

"Shh, I was just in the bathroom," he told me. I just clingy to him. Nothing able to come out.

He walks over to the bed and lays down with me still having a tight grip around him. He pulls the blanket over us before turning the lamp off. I moved a little to were my body was on top of his before grabbing his shirt in a fist and not letting go.

"P-please don't do that," I hiccup after a few minutes.

"I'm sorry baby, I thought you would still be asleep by the time I got back." He told me. I just snuggle closer to him if that is even possible before slowly falling asleep again.
