Believing In Fairytales

Chapter Thirty: River Locksley

"Since the kids aren't here I thought we could try something new for dinner." I say as I walk into the kitchen.

"Everything you cook is great." I hear Robin say as I grab the two plates of food.

"I made tacos!" I say as I place the plate in front of him.

"Tacos?" Robin asks and I smile.

"Yes, tacos!" I say excitedly as I jump up a little.

"Tacos?" He asks confused and I groan.

"You don't remember that time I was eating tacos?" I ask and Robin looks at me even confused.

"No, really?" He asks once he realizes what I meant.

"Yes, I am." I say as I hand him a wrapped box. I smile up at him as he opens the box. A smile is on his face once he sees the positive pregnancy test.

"We're pregnant!" I say excited and he smiles.

He jumps out of his chair and pulls me into his arms. He peppers kisses all over my face as I giggle. He places a final kiss on my lips as I smile. He wraps his arms around my waist before he ends the kiss.

"God, I love my wife." Robin says and I laugh.

"You'll have to share the love with this little one." I say as I rub my stomach. Robin bends downs and pulls up my shirt.

"I love you so much!" Robin says as he starts to place kisses on my bare stomach and I giggle.

"Can you stop now? I really want to eat those tacos." I say and Robin chuckles as he rubs my stomach.

"We're having a baby." Robin says as tears exit his eyes.

"Don't cry because then I'm going to cry then the baby is going to cry and it'll be a total mess." I say as I wipe my own tears.

Robin stands up and kisses my lips gently. I lean my forehead against his as his hand rubs my still small stomach. He moves his head so he is able to see me and says, "It won't be a mess because we're together and that's all that matters. I love you."

"I love you too. Can we eat now?" I say and Robin laughs.

"We're never having sex again!" I scream as I push.

"Just one more push." The doctor says and I groan as I squeeze Robin's hand.

"Robin!" I scream as I push again.

"Calm down honey. She's out okay." Robin says as he wipes the sweat off my face.

"I want to see her." I say as I slump against the bed.

"The doctors are cleaning her up. She's so beautiful." Robin says as he looks at her.

After a few minutes Robin places the little girl in my arms. A tear escapes my eyes as I look at her small face. I look at her small black hairs on the top of her head. I look up at Robin and smile.

"Robin, she's so beautiful." I say as I stare at her blue eyes.

"What's her name?" Robin asks me and I smile at her.

"River Locksley." I say as I rub her cheek with my hand.

"She'll be daddy's little girl and she'll be sassy. Everyone will go crazy over my little River." Robin says and I smile at Robin.

"I can't believe we did it." I say as a tear trickles down my cheek.

"Well we did Regina. I love you." Robin says before he kisses my forehead.
