Outlaw Queen One Shots

A Tattoo

"Here, Regina try this on." Emma says, throwing her a dark blue blouse. Snow had knocked Regina's glass of wine out of her hand which ended up spilling all over the front of her. The three of them were in Emma's bedroom watching movies when the incident happened. She was very unimpressed, making a snarky comment about her klutziness immediately after, but soon got past the fact that her shirt was ruined and asked to borrow one of Emma's. "Thank you." Regina says taking off her wet shirt that practically clung to her body. "No problem." Emma replies, grabbing a hand full of popcorn. Snow notices something on Regina's hip as she buttons up the blouse. "Regina what is that?" She asks, being the nosy person she is. Regina pulls her shirt so it's covering where Snow's eyes were directed saying, "It's nothing."

Snow walks towards Regina who was trying her best to avoid eye contact. "Does Regina Mills have a tattoo?" Emma teases. "Yes I do, see right here." Regina says holding up her right hand with a feather tattooed on her wrist. "Oh please we already know about that one." Emma says rolling her eyes. "You got another one didn't you?" Snow smirks. "No, I did not." Regina protests. "Is it something bad? We aren't allowed to see it?" Emma asks, raising an eyebrow. "No, nothing like that." Regina responds. "Ha! So you do have a tattoo there." Snow says pointing to her hip. "Yes but I'm not letting you see it." Regina states in a sharp tone. "Fine." Emma says, sitting herself back down on her bed. "No, please Regina? We won't judge you. We promise." Snow begs.

"I said no, Snow. Now please can we just watch the movie?" Regina says frustratedly. "Ok, sorry." Snow replies quietly. They sit back down on Emma's bed and watch the movie, Regina being extra careful that her shirt didn't come up, revealing the tattoo. When the movie ends Emma turns around to face Regina. "So are you gonna show us this tattoo or not?" Emma asks. "No! I already said no!" Regina nearly yells. "What's the big deal?" She asks. "Alright, fine. If you wanna see it so badly here it is." Regina responds, finally giving in. She lifts the hem of the shirt up slightly just enough for them to both see the tattoo. They both examine it for a few seconds, completely speechless.

Regina runs the pad of her thumb over it, a small smile on her lips. "Robin." Snow breathes and Regina nods. "I just-" Regina takes a deep breath. "I got it a few weeks after he- he" Regina couldn't even get the words out. "It's ok, you don't have to explain yourself, we understand." Snow says with a comforting smile. "For a while I thought I should just try to forget about him but now," Regina sighs. "I wanted something to remember him. Every time I see it I know he's there. He may not be really with me but I know in my heart, he's here." She says with a small smile, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry Regina. I shouldn't of pushed you." Snow says pulling her in for a hug. "It's ok, it's just- I'm a very secretive person sometimes. It was actually nice that I found it within myself to open up to you guys." Regina smiles, a genuine happy smile. Ever since Robin passed away she hasn't felt a drop of happiness. Today she did. She surprised her self maybe feeling at home in the world and having friends that love her really was her happy ending.

"Regina, we are still looking for a way to bring him back. What if he comes back and sees the tattoo?" Emma asks and Regina shrugs her shoulders. "I guess he'd see how much I love him." Regina responds. "Would you tell him that?" Snow asks. "Tell him what?" Regina questions, her face confused. "How much you love him, if you had the chance." Snow says. "Of course. I feel terrible that I didn't say it not even once." Regina cries. "He knew. I'm sure he did." Snow responds, taking Regina's hand in both hers. Regina nods, "Thank you."

"And Regina, I'll keep looking. I want you to be happy." Emma says with a smile. "Thank you." Regina says again. She was truly grateful to have such a lovely family that loves and supported her. Regina has never really been a part of a family. She never thought she could have a family. Robin made the idea, feel realer than ever.

Every time she looked down at that small amount of ink on her hip bone, she was reminded. Reminded that he was there, and he loved her. Robin would've wanted her to move on, to find a new happiness. A part of her still had hope he would come back to her, but for now all she has is the tattoo of his name, the love of her life. A tattoo that was so little yet meant so much. A tattoo spelling the name of her lost love.

Robin.
