Baby

*Regina's POV*

I picked up the wriggling pink bundle in my arms. What a gorgeous baby. But as I held Robin and Zelena's child in my arms I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. They had a child. Together.

I felt an arm snake around my waist and a kiss on my neck. Robin. I turned around to face him, our bodies close with the baby in between us. He pressed his forehead gently against mine.
"You know this doesn't change a thing between us," He whispered as if he'd read my mind.
"I love you." I said quietly.
"And I you," he smiled, those three words that make my heart melt every time. A smile spread across my face.

"Excuse me? Sorry to interrupt but I'd actually quite like to hold my baby." Zelena's voice said from the bed behind us, her tone was sarcastic as usual but I could tell that she was tired and weak. I handed her the baby and I swear that I caught a glimpse of pride and love in her eyes.

Robins arm was still around me and I lent my head on his shoulder and I realised. I didn't care that Robin had a baby with my sister. I didn't even care that they'd always be connected in a way that Robin and I never would be because I was connected to a Robin in a way Zelena never would be. He loved me. And I loved him. And that was all that mattered.

That is all that matters.
