Regina One Shots

Christmas Tree

Here's another chapter! This is a day late but I hope you lovelies still enjoy it. Happy Holidays!

"Hm, a little to the left. No, my left. Actually, no can you move it a little down first then some to the right."

"Regina," Robin groaned as he looked back at his girlfriend.

It was just the day after Halloween, and Robin was tasked with helping Regina put up the Christmas decorations in their apartment. She was bossing him around with placing a strand of garland above the entrance to their kitchen. It's been about five minutes with him standing on a ladder trying to place this damn string of garland, and Regina has been standing in front of him in her cute little Christmas pajamas, drinking his hot chocolate. Goodness, he loves her so much.

"Okay, okay. This is perfect now. You're doing amazing babe," Regina said as Robin finally got off the ladder after he finished hanging up the garland.

"You owe me a new cup of hot chocolate," he said with his hands crossed against his chest.

"How about a taste of hot chocolate?" She asked him with a smile as she gave him a peck on his lips.

"You're so lucky I love you," Robin said and Regina laughed as she set the cup on the living room coffee table.

"On the contrary, you are the lucky one, Mr. Locksley."

"That it is. What else do you want me to put up today?" He asked her as he sat down on the couch and pulled her down with him which made her laugh.

"Well, all of the garland is up and we switched out the throw pillows and blankets. Maybe we can put out some yummy-smelling candles. I think you're done for today. How about we make a plan to pick out our Christmas tree for this weekend?"

"We can. I assume you want the biggest and fluffiest tree that can fit through the apartment door?"

"It amazes me how well you know me," Regina said as she placed a kiss on his cheek.

"It's my job remember. So, me and you on Saturday, lunch at Granny's, and then picking out our tree?"

"Yes! Sounds like a date," Regina said with a small smirk.

"With you, always milady."

Saturday ended up being a snowy day in Storybrooke, and that was one of Regina's favorites. She remembers shrieking like a teenager and pushing Robin out of bed so they could watch the snow fall early that morning. He was grumbling as he watched her smile and was softly begging her to let him go back to sleep and get one more hour in of sleep. He loved this damn woman and it made it hard for him to ignore her happiness just to go to sleep.

After a quick breakfast and bundling up in warm clothing, they ventured outside to get started on the many errands that Regina ended up adding to their itinerary. The first step, acquire coffee from her friend's coffee shop. He was grateful that one of her friends provided them with as much caffeine as they both wanted.

Robin stopped his truck right in front of Tink's Coffee & Treats. Regina bolted out of the door before he could even put the car in park. This was one of her bad habits that he hated but it made her love her ten times more. Robin laughed to himself as he exited the car and met Regina in the coffee shop.

"Would you like your usual this morning, Robin?" Tink, Regina's best friend and shop owner, asked him when she met his eyes.

"Surprise me today but make it as strong as can be."

"One heart attack coming right up!" Tink said before she turned to wink at her friend Regina. "Ask Ashley for a pastry on the house and I'll have your usual ready for you in just a jiffy."
