Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 42

Regina's POV:
It was 3:30pm and I just woke up from a nap that Robin and I took. But he was still asleep. I never wake up before him so it was a little weird being up and him still asleep.

But I wanted him to sleep. He has done so much for me that I could never thank him enough for it. I know there will be nothing I could do to thank him for everything.

He is always there when I need something. And I love him for that. He will drop everything just to come give me comfort. Or just a kiss. Or even just a hug. He will drop everything for the littlest things.

I guess that is why they always say the littlest things matter.

Robin is the man I have always dreamed of and more. He was the man I didn't know I need in my life.

Yes Daniel made me happy and everything. But when I thought of dating after the curse broke. Nothing came to mind. Like I didn't need anyone. But Robin proved me wrong. He is always proving me wrong, but in a good way.

He showed me I could be loved again. That I could be happy. Get a second chance.

I honestly don't know where I would be if it wasn't for Robin, Henry and Roland. The only boys I need in my life.

I smile at the thought. My boys. I have a lovely boyfriend and 2 amazing boys. Couldn't ask for a better family. Even if it is 3 boys against 1 girl in the house.

"What is going on in that pretty little head of your that has you all smiley?" I hear Robin ask me.

I look up at him and smile even bigger. What did I ever do to deserve him? He is so perfect.

"T-t-thinking," I stuttered nervously.

"Oh. About what?" He questioned.

"A-a-about us. A-and t-the k-kids," I said.

"And?" He said basically asking me to continue.

"A-and how h-happy I a-am," I said with an even bigger smile.

Robins POV:
I swear this woman's smile gets brighter every single day. Her smile was going to be the death of me. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

She was mine. And I want to make her mine forever.

I move some hair out of her face and put it behind her ear. I loved her hair like this if I were honest. It was a little messing and looked adorable.

"I'm happy too," I said.

It was really good to hear her sweet voice again.

"I-I'm h-hungry," she said.

"Yea me too, we should probably eat since we haven't eat all day and it is almost 4pm." I tell her.

She smiles before getting off of me but not letting go of my hand. I get out of bed and grab a hoodie from the door because it was cold and I didn't have a shirt on. I put it in before looking at Regina.

"You wa-" I was cut off by her dragging me into the closet and to the dresser. She grabs a pair of my sweatpants and puts them on. It was adorable because she was in my sweatpants and hoodie. And she look so small in them. "You look adorable," I said kissing her head.

I grabbed her hand and headed downstairs. We walk into the kitchen before looking for something to eat.

We decided that we wanted spaghetti. The food got done a little before 5pm which is a good time.

We sit down in the living room after getting out bowl of spaghetti.

~two hours later~

Regina was snuggled up into my side. We were watching The Office again.

"Can w-we w-watch a f-few more?" She asked.

"I don't see why not," he said.

Before I knew it, it was 9:43pm and Regina was asleep. I slowly move and lay her down on the couch.

I grab the bowls and them in the stink to wash later. I walked back out to the living room and turned the tv off and picked Regina up. She whined a little when she felt the movement.

Once upstairs and in our bedroom, I lay her down on the bed. And pulled my sweatpants off of her. And laying next to her.

She moved her head onto my chest and intertwined our legs and gripped the hoodie I was wearing a little.

I smile looking down at her sleeping. After Marian a second chance at love didn't feel right. Being in love with another woman felt like something I couldn't do. But Regina sure did a number on me.

I would give up the world just to make her feel loved. Or to see her smile, or her laugh. Or sometimes even the little giggles she does. I would do anything to to see her smile or hear her laughs.

Life without Regina, well that wouldn't be life. Because I don't think I could ever life without her. I would do anything just to protect her, Roland, and Henry.

There is nothing in this world that I have ever cared for more in my life. Yes I did love Marian. But I found my new happiness, my new true love.

One of these days I'm going to make you mine, officially mine. I don't know when but hopefully soon.

I want to be able to call her my wife. And I want her to know that I'm not going anywhere, and that I'm with her no matter where she goes or ends up.

I don't ever want her to feel alone. Like she doesn't have anyone there for her. I love her too much to lose her.

Kissing her head softly, I turn the lamp off and close my eyes. But that also didn't stop the thoughts from flooding my mind.

I sat there and started thinking. I'm I doing enough for her? Am I everything she wanted? Does she know I'm doing everything in my power to protect her from the bad in the world? Does she know how much I love her? Or that I would die for her? Or give you the world just to make sure she is happy?

I hope she see I'm trying here. Trying to protect her from them. But sometimes I don't feel like I'm protecting her enough. Because then she wouldn't have gotten hurt. By Gold, Leopold or Hyde.

I just sigh and slowly fall asleep wondering if I was good enough for Regina.
