Outlaw Queen: Thievery and Witchcraft

The elusive smile

She thought she was used to the lack of sleep that usually accompanied a new born, but she was wrong.
Rebecca was now three weeks old and was generally a peaceful baby untill it hit nine in the evening.
"Robin I love her but I am so sure she only cries at night!"

Robin couldn't help but laugh. He walked over to Regina who was stood gazing over the pearly white crib at their princess. He wrapped his arms round her waist and she sunk her head into his neck.
"It would appear that way milady."

They began to sway, both looking at Rebecca who was sleeping peacefully. "She is truely beautiful isn't she."
"She has your eyes Robin, and yours and Rolys dimples."
"Yes but she also has your beautiful raven hair and elusive smile. How many princes do you think I will be fighting away!"

They both laughed waking Rebecca up. Regina cooed softely and picked her up, robin still hooked round her waist.

"I wish Henry could meet her."
"I know my love I know."
Just then Roland crept in, "mama....granny said it was time for dinner...can we go now?"
Regina and Robin turned with smiles on their faces, Robin still had his arms around Regina and she was still holding a now peaceful rebecca.

"Ofcourse Roly!"
Roland grinned and rushed up to them both and began jumping up and down.
"Can I give her a kiss before we go!!"
They both laughed and Regina knelt down and Roland kissed Rebeccas head. Rebecca squirmed and started to cry.

"Ooh becca..its your big brother. Shush sweetie.."
"Milady I think she knows its dinner time too."
"Roly you and Daddy go down and I will feed becca and then we will both come down."
Roland nodded and grasped Robins hand and they made their way down to the dining hall.

Regina sat down on the bed and began to breast feed Rebecca. It was slightly painful but she loved it. She loved being a mother to Roland but she had also missed caring for a baby, just as she had done for Henry.

After she burped Rebecca they both made their way down stairs and sat at the large dining table. Regina sighed and smiled as she watched everybody eating an laughing together. This is what happiness felt like.
