Robins POV:
It has been a week and Regina was doing better. She did have a few slip ups with cutting but I also know she is trying to stop it.

Right now Regina was watching tv. She doesn't like really doing much lately. Except watching tv and cuddling.

Regina's POV:
I was curled up on Robins chest. Everything was a little fuzzy at the moment because I was trying to wake up. I soon was fully awake but I just stared off into the distance. I didn't know what to do. Losing the baby felt like I lost everything.

I look at Robin before I slow slide off his chest and walked into the bathroom. I just stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself. Disappointment. That's what I see. I lost my baby, the one job I had to do was to protect that baby. And I failed. I started to look through cabinets.

"Ha find them," I said softly.

Pills. I put a hand full of pills into my hand and just looked at them.

'Do it. You know you want to' they said.

"No go away," I whimpered.

'No we are back' they said.

"No please," I whine.

'Take them,' they say.

I look at the pills one last time and right before I was about to put them to my mouth someone grabbed my wrist. I look up and see Robin with tears in his eyes. He took the pills from my hand and but them back in the bottle.

"Baby," he said.

Before he could continue I throw myself at him and cried. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Please bubba. Let me die," I cried out.

"Baby. I can't let the happen. You mean too much to me," he said.

"But they're back," I whined.

"Who?" He questioned.

I pointed to my head. He understood and just pushed my head onto his chest before resting his chin on the top of my head. He let me cry it out till I was exhausted. He doesn't say anything except lead me back to his room and laid down with me in his arms. He rubbed my back before he started talking.

"You want to know how I knew I loved you? And how I knew you were the one for me?" He asked.

"Mhm," I whimpered.

"Well I knew I loved because of how kind and supportive you are. You're always there for others no matter how badly you're struggling. And I adore you for that. I loved how you cared so much about others. But I hate how you care so little about yourself. That's the one thing I want to help you with. And I knew you're the one for me because every time I'm with you the world stop. Time stops. And seeing you laugh and smile makes me so happy," he tells me.

I look up at him and he is smiling at me. I couldn't do anything except hug him tightly and cry again. I never knew he loved me that much or cared for me that much. Hearing all this made me realize I can't leave him here without me. Or alone. It would hurt him too much and kill him on the inside.

"I promise not to leave," I whisper.

"Hey, why don't we go get ice cream?" He suggested.

"Ice cream sounds good," I say.

"Ok let's go," he tells me.
