Escape in the Night

Chapter 31

Robins POV:
My eyes slowly flutter open. It takes me a minute to adjust. Then I realized Regina is laying next to me naked. I smirk at the thought of last night.

I slowly move from under her and grab some sweatpants and put them on before going into the bathroom. I turned on the water for the bathtub and let it fill up with warm water, and then put some bubbles in it.

I stop the water and then go to wake up Regina. She was so adorable when she is sleeping. I crawl on the bed and hover over her before kissing her forehead. She stirred a little but didn't wake up.

"Come on princess, I have a bath ready for you." I say.

"Hmm," She hummed.

"Come," I say picking her up.

I carry her into the bathroom and slowly put her in the bath tube. I hear her sigh a little.

"In," she whispered with her eyes still closed.

"You want me to come in with you?" I asked.

She just nodded. I take off my sweatpants and get in with her. She turns around and pushed her front to mine and sighed once again. I cupped some water and put it on her back as I ran my hand down her back. I did that a few more times before running my hand through her hair.

"I'm guess you don't want to do anything today?" I question.

"Please. I just wanna stay in bed," she whispered.

"Hmm you wanna talk about it?" I asked knowing what's running through her head.

"I just feel like it's my fault and I'm drained. Emotionally and mentally. I just want to sleep it away," she whimpered.

"Babe, I promise you this isn't your fault. Ok? What happened is all Graham," I tell her.

"But still I was suppose to protect this baby and I couldn't," she cried.

"Regina honey you're still young and learning things. You thought you were doing the right thing by going to tell Graham about the baby. But it's going to be alright," I say.

"Is it really?" She asked.

"Yes really, I'm going to be with you the entire time." I tell her.

"I wanna try," she said after a few moments of silence.

"What?" I asked.

"A baby. I know I'm only 16. But we will have a house. Each other. I can do online schooling and finish Senior year early," she says.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.

"Please bubba. I want to forget about what Graham did to me. I hate it. Every day. He makes me feel disgusting," she tells me.

"Well you aren't disgusting. Don't ever say that," I tell her.

"I am. Look at my scars," she says looking at her wrist and thighs.

"Those only make you more beautiful," I say.

"Stop it," she whined.

"Stop what?" I asked chuckling.

"Stop being perfect," she said snuggling back into me.

After about 30 minutes the water was getting cold so I carefully get both Regina and I out of the tube.

"Princess I need to set you down so wake up please," I say.

She slightly opens her eyes to tell me she is awake. I sent her on the counter before drying her off. I put on her and underwear and then put her in one of my shirts. Once I was done I put on some boxers and sweatpants before I soon hear her whimper.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

She didn't reply but just opened her arms for me. I picked her up and she instantly dropped her head to my shoulder and fell asleep again. I sigh because I know she is hurting deep down but doesn't want to say anything. And sleeping was her way of coping with the pain. Other than self harm.

I also know with her hurting like this she is going to be clingy. I don't mind her wanting to always be with me. But I'm going to have to make her eat because I know she won't herself.

I lay her down on my bed before grabbing my laptop. I look at the latest flights we can get to California. School starts in September but we want to get to the house and settle in before school starts.

It was about an hour as passed before I felt her small hand push me a little. I look down at her and smile a little.

"Hi," I whisper.

"Hmm," She hums.

"You comfortable?" I asked.

"Mhm," she hums once again.

I brush some of her hair out of her face while she struggling to keep her eyes open. It was adorable to see.

"Go back to sleep," I say.

She closed her eyes once again and fell asleep. I was highly impressed at how much she could sleep. But I also know she likes to sleep a lot. I get out of bed because she needs to eat something. When I get downstairs my parents are in the kitchen.

"We made breakfast," my mother said.

"Thank you," I say.

"How is she?" Mom asked.

"I know she is hurting but she won't admit to it," I tell her as I make a plate.

"Give her sometime to grieve," she says.

"I don't know because she already wants to start a family," I tell her.

"What?" She asked.

"Yea, she wants to start a family with me." I repeat.

"I think that will do some good. For the both of you," my father said.

"I hope so," I say going back upstairs with the plate.

When I got upstairs I sat the plate on my nightstand and sat next to Regina.

"Princess you have to wake up," I say.

She didn't even move. It's cute at how she can be a heavy sleeper one minute and then a light sleeper the next.

"Princess," I said kissing her forehead.

I then kiss her cheeks and then her lips. And that got a response because she kissed back. When I pull away she had a faint smile.

"You need to eat," I say.

"Mmm I'm not hungry," she whispered.

"You still need to eat," I say.

"No," she said.

"Baby. I know you are hurting and that this is your way of coping with it but you need to eat some food," I tell her.

"I'm fine," she says looking away from me.

"Hey," I say grabbing her chin softly so she was looking at me. "I'm going to help you through this. You aren't alone ok? I know it will feel like you are alone but you aren't," I said.

"Ok," she whispered.
