Once Upon A Christmas: One Shots

Day 5: Rings

OutlawQueen one shot

   Robin was going to propose to Regina, Henry was there to help. He was stuck on 5 rings, he couldn't seem to choose. "I-I-I can't choose! They're all so pretty!" He shouted and pointed to the rings.

"Calm down, we'll find the perfect ring."

The first ring was made of rose gold and had a ruby in the middle. The second ring was sterling silver and had an emerald in the middle. The third was made of gold and had a sapphire in the middle. The fourth was simple and was made of silver and had a diamond in the middle. Then there was the fifth one.

The fifth one was unique. It has tiny intricate etchings of the sides, it had a diamond in the middle, and little bits of rubies surrounded it. It was made of silver. The etchings showed an arrow on one side and a crown on the other.

"Hey did you see these etchings?!" Henry pointed out.

"Etchings? What?" Robin squinted his eyes to see. "Hey! That's an arrow and a crown...it's like this was meant for Regina and I."

"Maybe it is."

"Uh...this one please."

"Ah...very nice ring, definitely for a special couple." The jeweler winked.

...

Robin took out his calling box and called Regina. "Hey, Regina." He said nearly laughing.

"Robin? What are you laughing at?" She asked chuckling.

"Nothing, where are you?"

"Granny's." She said simply.

"Great, I'll be there in a bit." He said. "I love you."

"I love you to."

He was going to have to propose to Regina in front of people, his heart was already beating fast.

...

He walked into the diner. Regina was sitting with Roland and Henry, looking at his book. He took a deep breath and sat down.

"Regina." He said before quickly kissing her.

The Charmings and Killian were there to. This was an intense moment.

Robin winked at Henry and he smiled.

"What?" Regina asked.

"Nothing." Henry covered up.

...

They were done with their meal. Now it was time. "Regina?" He asked softly, his hands shaking while she stood from the table.

"Yes?"

He took her hand and held it. "Regina...others may still see you as some evil queen, but I see you as a woman who can love, who can be loved, and is a hero." She smiled and people started watching them, especially the Charmings and Killian. "You make me so happy, and I'm honored to be your second chance...so can we maybe not be boyfriend and girlfriend anymore?"  She face instantly turned from a bright smile to complete and utter upset.  "And be husband and wife."  He said while getting down on one knee and pulling out the ring.  He face went to shock.  

   Emma and Snow were trying not squeal as they saw this unfold.  Henry couldn't wipe the smile off of his face at his mother's face.  "Regina, will you marry me?"  He asked.

   She wanted to say yes, but for some reason regina.exe had stopped working.  "I....I...."  Was all she can manage.  "Yes!  Yes! Yes I'll marry you!"  She pulled him up and kissed him so hard it nearly made him fall. 

   The whole diner was cheering and smiling. 

...

   "Regina!  We're so happy for you!"  Snow and Emma said and hugged her nearly to death. 

   "I can't believe I'm engaged!"  She said.

   "So you promise not to leave her ever again?"  David asked Robin.

   "Yes."

   "Promise not to hurt her, protect her-"

  "David, I'd die for her a thousand times, I love her."

   "I know, just making sure."

   "And you say you don't like her."  Robin teased.

   "Well she's not evil anymore, she's much more likable now."  He responded.

  The men busted into laughter and talked out their women.  Snow, Emma, and Regina talked about their men. 

   Out of five rings, one of them was meant for them.  True Love speaks of symbols.
