Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 43

Mr. Hyde POV:
I needed a way out of here. Out of this cell where I don't belong. I needed to be free and stop Regina from having that daughter of hers she is suppose to have in the future.

"What are you thinking about?" Leopold asked me.

"None of your business, that is what." I told him coldly.

"Why so rude huh?" He said.

"Because if you didn't screw up. I would have Regina right now," I said.

"Well it isn't my fault, her so called boyfriend kept getting in the way." He said.

"And yet you killed him and he still came back to life," I told him.

"Look I'm sorry, ok?" He said.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it. Not this time," I said.

I look up at the time. 8:43am. I sigh.

~Two days later~

Robins POV:
Regina was asleep. I brush some hair out of her faces and she cuddled into me more.

I sigh a little, I wish there was more I could do for her. To make her feel better. Better about everything right now. She is hurting and there is nothing I could do about it. And it kills me to see her like this and know that I couldn't be here for her.

"S-s-stop t-that," I hear her tired voice.

I look down and Regina was rubbing her eyes softly before looking up at me.

"Stop what?" I asked. She softly taps my head with her pointer finger.

"I k-know y-you," she said.

"I don't know what you are talking about," I lied. I didn't want her focused on me.

"Don't," she said. "Don't do that. I hate when you do that to yourself," she said without stuttering.

"You didn't stutter," I said trying to change the subject.

"Don't. Don't change the subject back to me, I know you Robin. And I know you are putting yourself down for what happened," she said before sitting up.

I sat up and put my back against the headboard and she straddled my lap.

"What happened isn't your fault. It never was and never will be your fault." She said.

Regina's POV:
I knew he was putting himself down over me getting raped and abuse by Leopold, Gold, and Hyde. Also not being able to protect me from them.

It was upsetting me. I didn't want him to feel like it was his fault. Or that he didn't do enough to take care of me.

"Isn't it? I could have protected you better," he said sadly looking down.

"No, you did try. You tried your best. Please babe I don't like you doing this," I said as tears threatened to come out. "Babe please believe me. I know you tried your hardest. I know you always try your hardest." I said lifting his head to look at me.

"Bu-"

"But nothing Robin. I know you did everything in your power to protect me. But let's be honest, you can't protect me from everything. Even if you try," I tell him. "Look, with what happened over the past few months has hit me hard and hurt a lot. Leopold, Gold, Hyde and you dying on me. It was all a lot. But what hurt the most was you dying. Granny and David had to take care of me because I was lost without you Robin. I literally stayed in bed all day, everyday. And didn't move unless I was using the bathroom." I said, and he still looked down sadly.

I lift his head up again. And laid my forehead against his.

"Robin, I feel safe and protected when I'm with you or in your arms. Why do you think I get scared when you let me go or you aren't around me? I don't feel safe without you. Or protected. I feel like I can forget the world when I'm with you. I feel like nothing bad will happen when I'm in your arms. This right here should let you know you did and do protect me enough. Ok? You protect me more than enough and I love you for it," I said kissing him in the lips. I had tears streaming down my face by now.

I pull away from the kiss and wiped my tears before wiping his tears.

"What did I do to deserve you?" He asked.

"No. I think I should be asking you. Not you asking me. You are my dear are perfect, I really don't deserve you." I said.

"You deserve the world," he tells me, making me smile while blushing. So I drop my face into his chest.

"Stop making me blush you thief," I said laughing. This also caused him to laugh.

"I will never stop making you blush. Especially after everything you just said," he tells me.

I look up at him. Setting my hand on his cheek and rubbing softly.

"It was all the truth," I said.

He kissed me and I hummed into it and then smiled.

"You're beautiful," he said with a smile knowing he is making me blush again.

"Stop being perfect!" I yell while hitting him with a pillow laughing.

"Never. Not in a million years. Especially for a girl like you." He said.

He pulled me closer to him by my waist and I snuggle into his chest. But he had his shirt on and I didn't like it. Apparently he noticed.

"What is wrong baby?" He asked.

"Shirt," I said tugging on his.

"Ok," he said.

He pushed me away a little and took off his shirt. He laid down and pulled me to lay on top of him. I snuggle as close as possible. And sign when I feel the warmth.

Robin grabbed the comforter and pulled it over us. I know it was still early in the morning so I close my eyes and slowly fall asleep. Feeling happy, safe and protected by the one person I needed in my life forever.

As I was slowly falling asleep I could feel Robins hand rubbing circles on my back, making me even more relaxed.

*Sorry if the ending is bad. It almost currently 12am right now. I was up at 5:20am this morning and fell asleep and then was up at 6:30am. So I'm really tired.
