Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 47

Robins POV:
I didn't know what to think about what Regina had just said. Everything was blank.

"Roland why don't we go play," Henry said.

"Ok," Roland replied. Him, Henry and Gabriella walked away. 

How could a father let someone murder their child? I honestly couldn't think straight. All I could think about was hurting Leopold.

"Robin?" I hear Regina say before I felt her small hand on my cheek.

I close my eyes and lean into her touch. I sickens me to know that Leopold would do such a thing. Especially to his own daughter.

"Please talk. You are scaring me babe," Regina said. I sigh.

"I'm just thinking," I said. Still having my eyes closed.

"About?" She asked, and I could hear her voice crack a little.

I open my eyes to see her in tears. I immediately pulled her into my arms. And rocked her back and forth while rubbing her back with small circles.

"It isn't about you baby, it was about Leopold," I said.

"But I let him kill my baby. My little girl," she cried.

"That wasn't your fault and it never will be. Leopold did something he shouldn't have had done. And you were still really young," I tell her.

She just cried into my chest. I said sweet things into her ear to calm her down. It worked because a few minutes later she was calmed down and not crying anymore. She looked up and saw the kids playing together. I could feel her smile.

She looks up at me with a big smile on her faces.

"If that is our future," she said pointing to the kids. "I want it." She tells me.

"Baby," I start but she cuts me off.

"No," she said before getting up and sitting facing me. "If those 3 kids are in the future I want it. I want it with you, I don't care what Leopold did. Well I do but I can't let the past control my future. If I do fall pregnant and we have that little girl that is playing with our boys, I want it. More than anything. I want a child with you Robin. Yes, I will never get over what happened to Sophia because she is my first born and little girl. But look at Gabriella babe, she is ours. Our little girl. I know having a kid with you would change everything. And I'm ready. I'm ready for it, I'm ready for the unknown," she tells me.

All I could do is lean in and kiss her. This woman knows how to leave someone speechless. 

I feel her smile into the kiss. She pulls away and leans our forehead together.

"Promise me you won't leave me when times get tough," she said. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Baby, I stayed with you through what you just went through. I don't think I'm ever leaving you," I said. She laughed a little.

"Yes I know. But if I'm not a good mother, or a good girlfriend I-"

"You're right. You aren't a good mother or girlfriend." I cut her off. She looks up at me with tears. "You are an amazing mother. One who loves their child even if they aren't yours biologically. And you are the best girlfriend. I don't care what you say, you are a wonderful girlfriend and mother." I said.

"I love you," she said.

"I lobe you too," I said.

We watched as the kids played a little longer and it was nice to have Regina back. She was more carefree and uplifting now. The kids came running back and Roland crashed into Regina making us all laugh.

"Why don't we go get some Granny's? I know you guys are hungry," Regina said.

"Yes!" They yell and Regina flinched a little.

I rub her back a softly and she looks at me. She knows that I know she flinched. I give her a comforting look. She sighs.

"Come on let's go, Gabriella you want to come?" I asked.

"No thank you I have to leave anyway. But can I talk to you. Alone?" She asked.

"Sure," I reply. Regina whimpered. I look at Henry and he nods.

"Henry is going to be here, I promise I will be right back," I tell her before getting up to talk to Gabriella.

"Here," she said handing me a ring. "It was a ring Grandpa Henry had," she said.

"He is alive?" I asked.

"Yes, but he can't come back just yet."

"Why not?"

"Because mom has to accept your proposal first, that is how the curse is broken and he comes back to life."

"Ok,"

"But there might be one more obstacle in the way," she tells me.

"Which is?"

"I don't know. That is something for you guys to find out when it comes to the time. I promise if I could tell you I would." She said.

"Thank you," I tell her.

"No. Thank you for being the best dad," she said before disappearing.

I smile and look at Regina and the boys. She looked at me and smiled. Her and the boys get up and walk over to me.

I put the ring in my pocket before they got to me. Regina put her hand out for me and I took it. And walked to Granny's.

After eating at Granny's we all walked around some more and got ice cream till it got late and watched the stars.

It was a perfect night for us as a family.

Regina was up head with the boys as we walked into a field to get a better view of the stars.

"Babe," I hear Regina whine. 

I look you to see her with a pout on her face and then Roland and Henry copying her.

"Hurry up. You are walking slow," she whined again.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I say laughing.

We stopped in the field and watched the stars light up the sky. Regina was messing around with the boys.

They were laughing and smiling. It it felt good to see her like this again. Regina looked over to me and smile brightly.

We were all messing around for a good hour before deciding to go home. When we got home we changed into pjs and watched a movie together before falling asleep as a family in the living room.
