Robin's POV
She was going to make me choose between this baby and my soulmate? How do I pick between the two? I can't do it. I need to be in this babies life, but I can not leave Regina. She would break. I can't cause her that pain. I can't just have one of them. I need them both. I need my child and Regina. How could Marian be so cold? This isn't the women I remember at all. She used to be so sweet, so kind. Now she is selfish.
Marian's POV
I knew giving Robin the ultimatum would make it to where he had to choose this baby. To choose me. It seems wrong but I need him. I sacrificed things to be with him in the past and I need him to do the same for me. I don't care if he loves Regina, I am his wife.
.....
"Marian why do you have to be this way?! I love Regina! I want to be with her! You making me choose this child or her won't change that. Me coming back to you will not make me fall back in love with you." Robin said irritated. "I do not care! You don't get to have both! I will not have The Evil Queen being apart of my child's life. She will be no where near this baby." Marian said angrily.
Robin glared at her and said "I need time. I need time to think."
Marian sighed. "You have 1 day. No more than that. You shouldn't even need time to think. This baby should automatically be your priority. Not her."
Robin was going to say something, but realized it was pointless. Arguing with her was pointless. It wouldn't change anything. He would still have to pick. So he left without another word.

Robin walked back to Regina's. He hated having to tell her about this. Every time he comes back he comes with bad news. Always upsetting Regina. When he got to her house he stood outside for a moment. By the time he had gotten back to the house it was almost dark out. When he walked in, he could hear Regina in the kitchen.
She smiled. "Hey... What's wrong?" Robin stood there silent for a moment and then said "Marian wants me to be part of this babies life. But the catch is, I have to pick between my child and you. "
Robin could see the tears building up in her eyes. "I don't know what to do Regina. I want to be part of this child's life, but I can't live without you." Regina looked at him and said "I can't ask you to choose me over your child. I will not ask you to do that for me. A child is more important than me."
Robin jerked suddenly and pulled her into an embrace. "Don't ever say that. You're are very important to me. I love you so much! Which is why.... I want to have a baby with you. I want to have a family with you." Robin said smiling.
Regina pulled away instantly and started to cry even more. "That will never happen. It can't happen." He looked confused. "Why would you say that? Is it because of Marian? Because I don't care about her. You are what matters." She slowly started to speak "It's not Marian. It's me. I can't have kids. I did it to myself years ago, because of my mother."
Robin looked at Regina sympathetically. "Regina...."
"No! Don't try to comfort me! I don't deserve it! I did this to myself! I am this way because of me! So I can't carry your child. Which is why you need to go to Marian. Because she give you something I know you want, that I can't give. I love you with every ounce of my being! But I can't make you give up your child." She said sadly.
Robin had tears in his eyes. "I will go to her tomorrow. But tonight I need you. I need to be with you."
Regina nodded and they went to her room. They laid down and he held her the whole night.
*****
Regina woke the next morning and Robin was gone. She knew the night before would be the last time she was with him but it didn't make it easier. She was still heartbroken.
2 Hours Later
Robin walked into Regina's house and she was confused. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "I told Marian I choose you. I choose my soulmate." He said.
She smiled a little bit but he still saw the sadness in her eyes.
Robin moved closer to her so they were face to face and said "And we are going to find a way. You will have a child. We will find a way."
Thoughts? Let me know! :)
