The Law of Love ~ #Wattys2015

Chapter 25

A/N: Again I'm so sorry for the long wait. It'll probably take me a while to write each chapter because I'm so busy. But I'll do my best to get them out ASAP. Enjoy ch 25 and the slight surprise I decided to throw in.

Thanksgiving flew by in a flash. Regina and Kristin spent the entire morning of Thanksgiving preparing the food while Robin and Andrew went golfing. Robin had insisted that he would stay home and help, but Regina wanted him to spend some quality time with his father. Regina may not have had parents in several years, but she knew what it was like to be separated from them. So she knew it was hard for Robin to be away from them for so many months out of the year, especially his father. A man needs his father. Or at least this man needs his father. And so Regina wanted to make sure he was able to enjoy the time he had with Andrew.

Kristin did all she could to help Regina learn more about the holiday and learn her own takes on certain recipes for the holiday. Regina was overwhelmed with gratitude for all her soon to be mother-in-law did for her. She had never felt so loved and respected by the mother of any of her past interests. Those mothers wanted nothing to do with her. So this was new for Regina. Something she never imagined having, but it made her feel at peace with where she was at in her life. Having a mother figure again had always been a dream for Regina, and now it was a reality.

When dinner time came, the family sat down around the table and enjoyed a full meal and just relished in the time they could spend together. Robin and Andrew making corny jokes; Kristin telling embarrassing stories of Robin when he was a young boy, and Regina snorting loudly in laughter. It was a comfortable setting for everyone there. The joy that radiated from them wasn't forced. It was pure happiness and enjoyment that the family felt on this Thanksgiving Day.

Before they knew it, the rest of November flew by and it was the day before the anticipated wedding. Roland was staying with Mary Margaret until the morning. Regina was spending the day with Belle and Kristin, while Robin, David and Andrew hung out. Bachelorette and Bachelor parties are the technical names, but Regina didn't prefer to call them that.

The girls had a spa day. Regina initially just wanted to stay home and paint her own nails to save money. But Belle convinced her otherwise.

"Regina, you deserve to be pampered today. And I've already budgeted this in my spending, so you can't say no." Belle commented.

Regina's eyes widened at Belle's thoughtfulness. "You really didn't have-"

"Yes I did Regina. You've done so much for everyone else during this wedding process. You are the bride. And that means you are the center of all of our attention." Belle said with a big smile.

Regina couldn't help the huge grin that appeared on her face. "Thank you," was all she could say.

The three girls got ready at the penthouse before leaving for the spa. Robin and Regina had agreed not to see each other the day before the wedding. So Robin was staying with David and Andrew at a nice hotel.

As the girls were being pampered at the spa, the men were spending the day at the golf course. Robin had found that golfing was a very chill and relaxing sport to play. Something he needed the day before his wedding. He was beginning to feel extremely nervous, and needed to just calm himself down and enjoy time with the guys.

At one point Andrew had left to use the restroom and it was just David and Robin. David walked up and nudged Robin playfully.

"You nervous man? For the wedding night?" David asked with a smirk.

Robin shook his head and laughed. "Wouldn't you like to know." He laughed again.

David chuckled as well but still insisted. "Come on, man. We are two grown men. Friends at that. What's wrong talking about this?" He asked.
