Get used to it

I offered to bring Roland home from school so that Robin could work late since he's been taking off a lot of time this week...for me. Just that thought makes me smile. Roland and I are sitting on the couch and he is asleep from a very exciting day at school. His head is laying across my lap and his legs are sprawled out across the rest of the couch. I hear a knock on the door and I slowly lift Roland's head up, slipping a pillow underneath him to replace my legs, and I tiptoe my way to the door. I look through the peephole and see Robin standing there. I smirk and bite my lower lip as I swing open the door.

He smiles and walks toward me "hello milady" he says as he presses his lips to mine while wrapping his arms around my waist. I pull back abruptly breaking his arms apart. "I'm sorry are you okay?" he asks obviously worried about me.

"Yes..thats just gonna take some getting used too." and I smile looking down at the floor. Fiddling with my fingers.

"Well get used to it." And he grabs me by my thighs, slinging me over his shoulder.

I giggle and laugh "Put me down Robin!" I scream and yell playfully.

He walks over to the bedroom, "As you wish your highness." I smile remembering the nickname he had just given me. And with that he gently throws me on the bed so my head is resting against the pillows. He crawls on top of me and leans in to kiss me. I smile in to the kiss. We let the kiss linger before pulling back. He leans his forehead on mine and I cradle his cheeks in my hands.

"I love you..." I say whispering so only he and I could hear it "so much."

And he leans in to continue the kiss. He starts to run his fingers through my hair just barely tugging. He then moves his tongue along the seam of lips, asking for an entrance, which I happily grant. He slowly moves his tongue inside my mouth, eliciting a whimper to escape my lips. We continue to kiss for about five minutes before we abruptly stop, due to the pitter patter of little feet coming towards our room. We both separate sitting on opposite sides of the bed just awkwardly smiling when Roland walks in. Our actions make me realize that we haven't really talked to Roland about this 'thing' between Robin and I.

He snuggles in between us and curves his body so his head back on my legs, but his legs are still parallel to mines and Robins. "Ms. gina?" he asks sleepily yawning after his question.

"Yes Roland?" I say sweetly while running my fingers through his curly brown hair.

"Are you my new mommy?" Apparently he is smarter and more observative then I think. I don't really know what to say so I open my mouth but no words come out. Robin reaches out and puts his hand on mine. I look towards him shrugging my shoulders, he nods his head in response.

"Ya bud I guess I am." and I smile thinking of finally having someone to call me mom. "Okay mommy" he barely states before drifting off to sleep. But the thought of children also makes me a bit sad knowing I can't have one of my own. So I block the thought out of my head like I always do and I feel Robin start to massage my hand.

"What are you thinking about my love?"

I smile a partially fake smile "nothing." He looks at me knowing I'm lying but doesn't push the subject further. "Do you wanna go watch a movie or something?" I ask quietly trying to change the subject.

"Sure." He responds casually. And once again I slip out from underneath Roland and I shut off the lights. I close the door so that just a sliver is still open and walk out to the living room with Robin by my side. We choose a movie and snuggle up on the couch together. And just like that I end another night happy.
