Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 26

Reginas POV:

~a week later~

I woke up on Robins chest freezing. I felt cold, so I pull the blanket closer to me. After about 10 minutes and I still wasn't warm, I whimper. Which caused Robin to woke up. I wanted to cry because whenever I was sick and I would wake Leopold up he would beat me and force himself onto me. So in this moment I got scared and terrified that Robin would do the same. I push myself off and away from him causing me to fall on the ground, hitting my head on the little desk next to the bed. All this overwhelmed me and my head started hurt, so I cried. Only crying more because Leopold again would hit me for crying .

"Regina, can you hear me?" I hear Robin say in a soft voice. I look up with tears in my eyes. He isn't going to hit me? Or forced himself onto me?

"Y-y-you a-aren't g-going to hit m-me?" I stuttered scared.

"Regina I would never hurt you," he said softly. He never calls me by my name. He is probably lying. Leopold always lied to me.

"Y-y-you're lying," I whimpered crying harder. Which caused me to cough.

"Why would I be lying?" He asked.

"B-because y-y-you never c-call m-me b-by m-my n-name. Y-you always c-call me a-a n-n-nickname," I cried.

"Oh baby, I'm sorry. But I'm not mad ok, I promise. Now can you please calm down because you are scaring me," he said. I started to cough even more.

I moved towards him and he understood. He took me into his arms and rocked me back and forth. I slowly calm down. And laid my head against his chest. He moved us to the bed. We laid there.

"You ok now?" He asked. I just nodded my head because my throat hurt.

My head started to hurt even more. And suddenly everything was weak. So I cried again. I didn't want to be sick.

"Hey, you're ok." Robin said. "Let's go to the bathroom," he said.

We both stood up and my legs felt like jello. I whimper. He wraps his arm around my waist, and walks me to the bathroom. He then lifts me up in the counter. Grabbing the thermometer.

Robins POV:
"Open your mouth," I said softly. She just stared at me. "Please baby," She then open her mouth and then closed it.

After about a minute it beeped. I took it out and looked. 102.3. I sigh. She just looks at me.

"Baby, you have a fever," I said brushing hair out of her face because she was sweating.

I walked over the the bathtub, I could her whimper from behind me. But I knew if I didn't get this fever down, who knew what could happen. I walk back to her. And started to take off her clothes. She whined a little when I took off you bandages. 

I help her into the bathtub, but the moment she sat down into the water she started to freak out.

"C-cold," she said crying trying to get into my arms and out of the tub.

"I know baby, but we have to get your fever down. I promise the moment you are done we can go downstairs and get something to eat and then watch tv down there ok?" I told her.

Regina's POV:
I wanted out of this bathtub. It was freezing cold. But Robin wouldn't let me out, I didn't care about my fever.

"P-please, it i-is c-c-cold," I told him.

"I know, but I'm almost done," he said.

It felt like forever before he was finished. He let the water drain while he grabbed a towel and wrapped me in it. I followed him into the room where he had sweatpants and one of his hoodies. He helped me into them before heading downstairs with me on his heels.

There were still tear stains on my cheeks so he took a wet cloth and wiped them away.

"You what some water?" He asked me. I gave a small nod.

He grabs a cup filling it with ice and then pour water into it. I took a drink of it. I felt good at have it hit my throat because it was dry and it hurt. Robin grabbed the cup of water and then my hand before walking into the living room. He sat down and I cuddle up need to him. I was freezing again.

"Let me go get the comforter out the closet," he said. I whimper when he moved away. "Come on," he said, I shake my head because I didn't want to move because I was too weak. "Ok then I will go get the blanket."

He walked away and that is when I realized he actually meant it. I sat up even though I felt weak. I stared and it felt like forever already, my eyes started to tear up. He soon came back with the blanket.

"See, you're ok." He said I shook my head before taking the blanket putting it over us, cuddling back into him and slowly falling back to sleep.

When I woke up, I was freezing again. But this felt worse. I just grip Robins shirt because everything hurt.

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

"Let's go check your temperature again," he said. He got up but I couldnt move. So I just tighten my grip around him, whimpering a little. "Shh I got you,"

We walk upstairs and into the bathroom again. He then grabs the thermometer. And puts it in my mouth. It beeped and he looked at it. He didn't look happy so I whined a little.

"Baby, I think we should take you to the hospital," he told me. I was not going back  to a hospital.

"N-n-no," I told him.

"Your temperature is at 103.5." He told me. I shake my head. He sighed. "Ok I will just call Granny, I promise I will be right back ok?" He said. I nodded but the moment he started to walk away I wanted to cry. He walked out the door and the tear started to flow down my face.

I get off the counter and slide down to the floor, putting my head into my knees a cried. I was scared to be alone. I cried and then started to cough. Robin came in quickly.

"Baby, I need you to calm down." He told me. I try but couldn't.

I thought I would be fine with him leaving. But I guess not. I look up at him, he was kneeling right in front of me, I lean forward and put my arms around his neck. He moved to were I was straddling him and his back was against the wall.
