Escape in the Night

Chapter 25

Regina's POV:
Robin walked me away from the crowed and into an empty classroom. He closed the door and looked at me before wrapping his arms around me. I cried into his chest.

"I wanna go home bubba," I sobbed into chest.

"Baby look at me," he said.

I look up at him still crying.

"I talked with the teachers and they said you can just come with me to my classes," he tells me.

"Ok," I whimper.

As we walked to his 2nd period class I clung to him. I hated being in places with a lot of people or if they were crowded. I was scared if I let Robins arm go, I would lose him. We entered his class and it was full of mostly boys. I whimpered and griped Robins hand tighter while clinging his arm to my chest.

"Shh baby, I'm gonna be with you the entire time," he whispered.

"O-ok," I stuttered.

I sat down next to Robin but didn't let go of his hand. It was too terrifying. Soon the bell rang and class started. It was kinda of a boring class but it soon ended and we went to his next one.
By lunch I was getting tired and ready to fall asleep.

"Bubba," I whined quietly.

"Hmm," he said in respond.

"I'm sleepy," I say yawning.

"I thought you said you didn't need a nap?" He asked reminding me of this morning.

"That's not fair," I pout.

"You're adorable when you pout," he replied.

"Bubba please," I whisper.

"Ok let's go home," he said.

We checked out and headed for the front of the school. When we got to the car I was exhausted and didn't wanna move anymore. Robin helped me into the car before putting my seatbelt on, seeing that I was too tired to do so. He then drove us home.

"Come on baby," he said opening my door.

I whined because I don't wanna walk or do anything. I just feel so weak and exhausted and I felt cold. I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick and I don't wanna be.

"Bubba," I whined.

"Baby, are you ok?" He asked.

I just take his hand and put it to my forehead because I knew it was burning up. I hiccuped as the tears fell.

"Oh baby, come on." He said helping me out of the car.

Once my feet hit the ground I whimpered. My legs felt like jello. Robin then helps me into the house. His parents were in the kitchen but walked to us when they heard the door open.

"Why are you guys home early?" His mother asked.

"She isn't feeling good. She is burning up," Robin said.

"Ok take her upstairs and your mother and I will make some soup," Paul said.

"Thanks," Robin replied.

Robin helped me up the stairs and into his bathroom. He then took out a thermometer and put it to my forehead. When it beeped he pulled it away and sighed.

"Babe your temperature is 101.2. Were you feeling like this earlier?" He asked.

I shook my head. I just wanted to be in Robins arms. I hold my arms out for him but he shook his head.

"We have to get you in the bathtub," he said as he started to undress me.

As he took of my cloths I whimpered because I was cold. He turns the water on and starts to fill the tube up. He adds some lavender. Probably to help me sleep better right now because my nose is stuffy, my throw hurts and I have a really bad headache.

He picks me up and sets me in the tub. But the water was cold too. I let tears fall again.

"Bubba," I choked out.

"Shh you're ok," he said.

He got my lavender shampoo and started to wash my hair. It felt good because my headache was going away. He soon puts the conditioner in and leaves it while he gets the lavender body wash and starts washing my body. It was relaxing. I could feel myself starting to fall asleep. I let my body relax into Robins touch and before I knew it, I was asleep.

Robins POV:
I felt Regina's body get heavy, I look at her and she had fallen asleep. It was adorable. She looked so peaceful even for being sick. I finish washing her body and then rinsed her hair out before letting the water drain out. I grab the towel that was next to me and wrapped her in it. I picked her up and grab another towel on the way out for her hair.

I lay her down on the bed before getting the second towel and lifting her head to dry her hair. I grab one of my shirts and her underwear before putting them on her and then brushing her hair the be I could while she was asleep. It was a little hard until she rolled over into her stomach. After I was done brushing her hair I put the brush back in the bathroom. When I came out Regina was curled up in a little ball.

I walked over and grabbed the fox stuffy off my dresser before going over to Regina and gently laid it in front of her to were she could feel it. She stirred a little before grabbing the stuffy and cuddling into it. I then pull the blanket over her and up to her shoulders before walking downstairs to get some water.

"How is she?" My mom asked.

"She is asleep. I gave her a bath and she fell asleep during it, and I didn't want to wake her," I tell her.

"Ok, the soup will be done soon," my mother tells me.

"Ok," I say.

I get some water before heading back upstairs to watch over Regina. When I got up to my room Regina was still asleep. I get into bed and sit next to her before putting something on, on the tv. I was watching tv for about an hour when Regina started to cough. I softly rub her back. She coughed a few more times before waking up. She rolls over and looks up at me. I give her a soft smile brushing some hair out of her face.

"Hey princess," I say softly.

She didn't say anything, she just moved to where she was straddling me and then pushed her head into my neck. I could fell that she was burning up. She let out a whimper.

"What is wrong baby?" I asked.

She leaned back and looked at me before tugging on my shirt, silently telling my to take it off. She gave me a pleading look.

"Baby, we are about to eat. My mother texted me and said the soup was ready," I tell her.

Regina's POV:
I just wanted comfort from him but he wasn't understanding. I don't care about eating right now.

"Bubba," I cried with tears streaming down my face while I tug on his shirt.

Ugh. Why isn't he giving me the comfort I wanted right now?

"Please," I whimpered barely bearable.

"Ok," he said.

He took off his shirt and I immediately push my head into neck. I sigh, and relax into his touch. I rub my eyes softly.

"Baby, don't sleep. You have to eat something before going back to sleep," he tells me.

I whimper but nod my head.
