Merlin (Once upon a time fanfic)

part five

Regina took a long deep breath before she began.

"It was not that long after I married king leopold that I found out how his temper affected people. In front of his Kingdom he would be a benevolent leader, an idol to them. But he would get so enraged with the slightest little thing, whether it be snow leaving her toys in the sitting room, or another Kingdom conquering a new Land. Well when he got annoyed I would get a know on the door of my chambers, his personal maid would look so worried. He would send for me to be brought to his chamber at once, then he would send all the staff to their quarters. So they could not hear me scream." Regina's lip quivered as she paused to force back her tears.

"Regina you don't have to do this" Robin tried to comfort her but it was no use she was a stubborn woman who was dead set on telling Robin.

"This one particular time was the eve before my 19th birthday, I had been ask to pick out some flowers that would go as centre pieces for the tables at that nights dinner, celebrating my birthday. I chose pink roses, they have always been my favourite. I made sure that the table decorations matched the colour of the roses and was ensured by the staff that there was not a thing that I could help with. So I wondered back to my chambers and I see little Snow in tears coming out of the King's chamber, he saw me walk past through the gap in the door. I can still hear his booming voice summon me in."

" I walked up to him asking what it was he wanted and I received his hand hitting me across the face, knocking me to the ground. "

"Get up ! Get up at once! A queen should never be on the floor! You foolish Child!" The king shouted. "You will get punished for your behaviour, my queen" the king sniggered.

Regina looked at Robins face filled with disgusted at to what the king had done to Regina and Robin knew that the worst was yet to come.

"He made me stand up before he pushed me to the bed, he used his bear hands to ripped my dress and my corset off. I remember the fear that serged through my whole body, when he forced him self on me."

"When he had finished I was banished to my chambers and told to go wash."

"Regina, I should of listened, I put you though more pain when I now now that you have been though enough." Robins heart sank to the pit of his stomach and his eyes filled with tears that dropped on to the ground. Regina looked at the man she loved falling apart in front of her, she took her hand and lifted his head.

"I've already forgiven you, locksley, last night was my fault I approached the situation in the wrong way. " before Robin could respond Regina moved towards him, and crashed her lips towards his. Robins hands moved to her hips the to her ars she moaned as he placed his hands there. It had been less than 12 hours since their last kiss yet Regina felt like it had been a life time.

Regina pulled back looked into Robins eyes.

"Shall I continue ?" She questioned

"Mmmm please do Robin said in an almost frisky way.

Regina laughed. " I meant with my story"

Robin nodded his head for Regina to continue.

" Well it must have been 3 weeks since my 19th birthday and I felt dreadful, I was unable to keep food down, the smell of almost everything made me sick. Your lucky your a man you will never have to go through this ordeal. So may maid got a healer to come and see me as I refused to move for the fear of being sick. He asked some questions that I would rather have not answered before he concluded that I was with child"

Robin looked at Regina with a confused expression. She knew exactly what he was thinking.

"So I asked the healer to inform the king on this matter. It was the first time ever the king had entered my chamber and I threw up on him, he was not best pleased but at least with me being pregnant he could not hit me. So he ordered me to spend the rest of the pregnancy at the winter palace then I was to return and speak no more of it, he said the child should be left to live with other children that where not wanted."

Robins expression was now confusing even to Regina.

"Robin please don't think me a bad person I wanted to keep my child more than anything but if the king said no then I was not allowed to."

"I don't think you bad person." Robin said in a small voice.

"I had had a baby girl born healthy on Jupiter's day." Regina's face beamed as she remembers having her baby.

"What did you name her ?" Robin finding himself interested in Regina's story.

"Andromida, like the stars." Regina's smile reached ear to ear.

" Regina how come you can't have children Then? " Robin asked trying not to pry.

"It was Andromida's first birthday and my mother came to palace, cora didn't know about Andromida, but she came into my chambers in a huff shouting at how I should have a child by now. Then she held out her hand and there was a small vile in it. She said I might as well drink this so that I could never have children. So I grabbed it and drank it, so that I would never have to go through that again."
