It's been a long and tiring month. Robin keeps acting weird and everything is making me unbelievably uncomfortable. I have this awful feeling that something bad is going to happen and I wait everyday in great anticipation.
I've been having nightmares on a nightly basis now. I would wake up shaking and drenched in my own tears and sweat. Robin would always be there to hug me, kiss me and tell me that everything will be okay. Yet, all I ever do is push him away and say, "I'm fine."
The phrase has easily become my mantra. I used it whenever Emma came over and she knew something was wrong. I even used it when David called me, making sure his baby sister was taken care of. I even used it on my own kids when they asked, "Mommy why are you crying?"
"Regina, you're doing it again." Robin says from across the table.
"I'm sorry." I say as I stare down at my breakfast.
"Mommy, can we visit Granny again?" Rose says and I smile.
"Maybe we can visit her for spring break. It's all up to Papa." I say as I look up at Robin.
"I'll think about it princess. I'm sure Granny will love to have you stay over again." Robin says with a smile that fades when he looks at me.
The rest of the breakfast was creepily silent. I barely even touched my food thinking about Robin. I know he's mad at me but I still love him. And I know that somewhere inside him he loves me too.
"Okay, let's get you guys to school." Robin says as he gets the kids ready for school.
"Bye Mommy!" The kids say as they both give me a kiss on my cheeks.
"Have fun at school, I love you." I say as I give them each a hug.
They hurry out the door without another look in my direction. I sigh as I get up with my plate in hand. I throw out most of breakfast and start to wash the dishes. I hear Robin come back in and I feel his eyes staring at me as I wash the dishes.
"Is something wrong?" I ask him as I turn around to face him.
"We haven't kissed in a month and you cringe every time I touch you. You also never told me what was ever bothering you. I can't help but feel that you're hiding something from me." He says and I sigh.
"I'm not hiding anything, I'm fine." I say as I look down at the ground.
"You can't even look at me right now. Regina, tell me what's wrong. Please, I want to help." He says as he holds my shoulders.
"I don't need any help." I say as I shrug his hands off my shoulders.
"I know something happened in England. Stop being stubborn and tell me!" He yells and I flinch at his loud words.
"I can't!" I yell at him through my tears.
"Regina, I'm sorry I yelled at you. Just tell me, please." He says as he hug me.
"It hurts too much." I say and he wipes my tears.
"No matter how complicated it is I'll always love you." He says and I smile.
"I love you too." I say and he wraps me in a hug.
"Now, tell me what's bothering your pretty little head." He says and I laugh a little.
"When we were in England I was rap-" I start to say but I get dizzy.
"Are you okay?" Robin asks me as he steadies my arms.
"I'm fine." I say but then my world goes dark and I fall into Robin's arms.
