Merlin (Once upon a time fanfic)

part sixteen

It was the morning after Harrington's arrival and Regina lay in bed next to her soul mate who was sound asleep and snoring loudly. She had awoke with the sudden feeling that she was about to be sick. Trying to rush out of the bed with out waking Robin meant she only just made it to the bathroom in time for her being sick. She felt dreadful like her very soul was ill, worse than she had ever felt before.

After a few more minutes of being sick she hosted herself up and stood at the sink brushing her teeth still trying not to be sick.she decide that she could not possibly have anything else to through up, and got back into bed with Robin.

" Everything alright Regina" he mumbled in a sleep filled voice.

" Yes darling everything is fine." It was five thirty in the morning, only just light out side when Regina heard footsteps in one of the other rooms. She got up to investigate she knew that it would not be Henry as to say he was not a morning person would be an understatement.  If it was Roland he would have gotten straight into hers and Robins bed. She knew it most of been Andromida.  She opened the door slowly incase she was asleep. Instead she saw the smoke that could only be from Andromida transporting herself back from where ever she had been.

" Where have you been?" Her tone of voice stern yet she did not shout as she was trying not to wake the boys.

" Err... well no where really." Annie's words fumbled out of her mouth.

" Andromida please tell me where you have been." Regina was dreading the response.

"I've been on the jolly Rodger with Harrington." Annie could not help but smile at the sound of his name. She was well and truly in love.

Regina smiled from ear to ear. "my baby girl is in love"

"No I am not don't say such things." Annie did not like the thought of her mother telling snow who would tell the rest of storybrook before she had the chance to talk to Harrington.

" Annie, sweetie, promise me something. If you do truly love him please don't let him go. Tinker bell told me I was destined to be with Robin but I was to afraid to go and talk to him. So I have had to wait until I met him again to fall in love. So please don't,  cause I fear I am going to lose him as I can not provide him with the one thing that he wants." Regina's eyes started to tear as she sat on the bed next to Annie.

" I my regret asking this but what's he one thing he Want? " placing her hand on Regina's.

" He wants a child that's both of ours.  Don't get me wrong i love Roland like her was my own and he loves you and Henry like you were his but i fear that it won't be enough in years to come." Tears fell heavily from her eyes.

Annie bowed her head and knew that what she was about to tell her mother would strengthen the bond they had started to make. " I've loved Harrington since we were so young, when we worked on the antiquities we must have been about seven or eight and we planned our life together, everything from our wedding, how many children we would have to finding our families and living somewhere peaceful. And then I got sold and he was left on his own. Then seeing him again after all this time the feelings I had tried to suppress came flooding back. I don't think I could cope if I lost him again, mom."

Annie wrapped her arms around her mother and cried oceans of tears. Regina lifted Annie's head up until it was level with hers. Her heart was overwhelmed with all the emotion of the daughter she had once lost finally calling her mom.

" Annie it's five thirty in the morning and you have just gotten home. I would say your not going to loose him." They both started to laugh and the tears stopped flowing.

By now it was nearing seven they had talked about everything in the last few hour. Andromida had never felt closer to her mother than she did now.

Robin stood on the landing wondering where Regina had got to he remembers the sound her her being sick but was not sure if it was a dream. "Regina ?" He said rather loudly hoping that if she was in the house she would hear him. They both left Annie's bedroom to find Robin stood with just his PJ bottoms on on the landing. Annie did not know where to look as her mother's shirtless boyfriend stood before her.

" I'll go and make breakfast." Annie said trying to escape the rather awkward situation.

"Sweetie what's Wrong?" She said turning to Robin.

" Nothing I just woke and you weren't there, but I thought I heard you be sick but it might have been a dream." He said whilst scratching his head.

She did not want hi  to worry about her being ill "Yeah it must have been a dream." She place her arms around him holding him close.

" You and Andromida had a good chat then?" He raised an eyebrow.

" You Heard? Her heart pounded.

" Yeah and Regina baby, we have three beautiful children and I have the love of my life in my arms I don't want another child I love our family as it is. And anyway if Andromida keeps coming in at some unearthly hour in the morning, you might just find yourself becoming a grandparent." He joked.

She pulled her arms from around him " that is not funny Robin, she is seventeen, I am not ready to be a grandparent. " she walked in to their bedroom and began to get ready for work.

"You do know that you sort of already are a great grandparent." He was digging himself a deeper hole.

" Robin shut up I need to get ready for work" her blood began to boil.
