{Regina's POV}
After they had gotten home from the hospital, Regina and Robin walked into Regina's house only to find Marian sitting in their living room.

"What the hell? You scared me!" Robin exclaimed at the woman who subtly glanced their way. Regina asked what she was doing in her house and set down the keys.

"I'm here to drop Rolland off. It was his night with you and you didn't show, so I got worried and came here." She looked back and forth from Robin and Regina. "Glad to see you had other plans rather than spending time with your son," she said grabbing her keys and starting towards the door.

"What are you talking about? It's my night tomorrow night and you know that Emma had her baby today," he argued throwing his hands in the air. Regina didn't want to get in between the two bickering people. She touched Robin's hand slightly comforting him before trudging upstairs. Walking into Rolland's new room, she found him still awake and sitting up in bed.

"Hey, buddy I'm sorry we were late. I had to help your godmother have a baby." Regina tiptoed over to the side of the bed covered in a spaceship comforter, a star pillow, and the stuffed monkey she had given him.

"It's okay." He said hanging his head. She rubbed his back as they heard the yelling coming from downstairs. He looked up. "Why do mommy and daddy fight?" He asked shedding a small tear.

"Hey wipe away those tears and come here," she said patting her lap. He wiped his tear away and crawled onto Regina's lap. "Sometimes mommies and daddies don't agree on everything and when it comes to their child, all you want is the best for them. They love you so much Rolland."

She pulled him in for a hug. "A parent would do anything for their child," Regina brushed the hair out of his eyes only to see them closed. She kissed his head and picked him up lying him down in his spaceship bed. She started to walk out when a tiny voice came from the bed.

"Will you lay with me?" Rolland asked. Regina turned and smiled at the little boy.

"Of course," she said as Rolland scooted towards the wall. Regina slid her shoes off and laid down next to the boy and slowly drifted off. The next thing she knew, she awoke to Robin carrying her.

"My love, he's asleep... you can come to bed now," he said laying her in their bed. She mumbled gibberish indicating that she was still sleeping. "Goodnight Regina, I love you," Robin whispered kissing her cheek before turning over.
