Author's Note: I ended up deciding to write a part two because I really liked the character dynamic I wrote in the first chapter. Robin's a little jealous in this one and it's adorable. If anyone wants a part three let me know. This wasn't supposed to end where I left it but it was getting very long haha. Enjoy lovelies!

The worst part about being a nanny was the fact that Regina had to wake up so early, but she loved it. Her alarm buzzed at the early hour of six in the morning. She usually woke up at five but today was a special day. It was a weekend and the children didn't need to be awake as early. Regina groaned as she took off her eye mask and turned off the alarm on her phone. A quick glance at her phone showed that she had many text messages from Emma which she would be ignoring for now. She's a hundred percent sure that Emma got drunk last night and proceeded to spam message her. So, right in this moment it wasn't necessary to respond.

Regina slipped out of her soft bed and into her softer slippers. She pulled her robe off of the edge of he bed and slipped it on. She paused to hear the silence in the house that always made her happy to wake up so early in the morning. She tiptoed out of her room before climbing down the stairs and making her way into the kitchen.

The lights were off and it smelled of fresh flowers. Will liked to keep fresh flowers in the kitchen every week and Regina knew he did it only because she liked them. He was a great friend even if he was an ass most of the time. The only time he wasn't an ass was when it came to making lovey dovey eyes at her friend Mal. She wishes the two of them would get together already. She knows Will would say the same between her and Robin.

She brushed those thoughts aside as she moved to turn the coffee maker on. There was a hot date planned for her tonight and the last thing she needed was thoughts of Robin on her mind. He was her boss; her very handsome, rich, British, and handsome boss. She realized she thought handsome twice and then sighed as she waited for the hot water to heat up. Her feelings for him were complicated and she just wanted her damn coffee so she could wake up.

"This is torture," she said to herself softly.

"You need to learn patience, Ms.Mills," Robin whispered in the dark which made Regina jump out of her skin.

"What the hell are you doing in here? You scared the living crap out me," she whispered angrily as she laid her hand on her chest. "Why are you awake?"

"Are you telling me I can't roam around my own house early in the morning?" Robin asked as he moved to turn on the kitchen light.

Regina's witty response died in her throat when she saw that Robin wasn't wearing a shirt. Her throat got dried as she tried not to ogle her boss but she couldn't help it. He was standing there barefooted with his pajama bottoms tied tightly around his waist. His hands shifted as he crossed his arms around his chest and gave her a cheeky grin. Regina became immediately interested in the cup of coffee that she was brewing as she blushed.

"No, I just know no one is ever awake at this time. I like to have some piece and quiet before your children run me ragged all day."

"Grace isn't that bad," Robin mused as he walked around the counter to stand next to Regina. "The younger two are running you ragged. I fear I'll have to give you a bigger salary."

"Oh Mr.Locksley, it's too early in the morning to flirt with me. I don't even have my makeup on yet," Regina said with a laugh as she took a sip of her black coffee.

"Trust me, you don't need it," he said softly as he brushed a piece of hair away from her cheek.

"Ah ha!" Will said as he barged into the kitchen. His hair was a mess as he was wrapped in his fluffy blue robe. "You two are canoodling!"
