Broken

Waiting

Regina

After insisting that I could walk myself to the door, Robin and I finally walked inside of our disheveled home where items were strewn from my sudden collapse. My round middle pulsed with the movements of my baby, making it exhausting to walk towards the large wooden staircase.

"Allow me." Robin whispered, slipping me in his arms with ease, allowing me to rest my head on his chest as we reached the top of the stairs.

"Oh thank god you're okay." I heard a British accent exclaim from behind us, making Robin set me down so my sister could hug me tightly, her daughter nuzzled in between both of us while Belle stood politely behind her.

"Just a scare, I need to be on bed rest for a week and take it easy." I said pressing a kiss on my niece's cheek before leaning into my husband.

"That's good, and stay on bedrest, don't disobey the doctors." My sister ordered, slipping her free hand into her partner's.

"Of course, are the kids okay? I hope I didn't scare them too much." I whispered wearily, she exhaled and pointed to Roland's room where I heard silence.

"And Alena?" I asked, but she just furrowed her brow and gave me a look. "I assumed she was at the hospital with you?" She questioned, my stomach twisting with nerves.

"Don't worry my love, I think she's sleeping in her room." Robin whispered, pointing to her bedroom, I exhaled and squeezed his hand, smiling at my sister wearily.

"Time for us to go so auntie can get some rest." Zelena said smiling and waving her baby's hand at us. "Say goodbye to daddy, tell him to get some rest too." My sister said motioning to my husband, their relationship still hitting a nerve with me, but I decided that now was not the time to blow a fuse over it.

"Goodbye baby, give me a kiss." He replied, blowing a raspberry on her cheek before the three of them walked out of the house, leaving us in uncomfortable silence.

"What?" My husband asked innocently, but I just shook my head and gripped my stomach, holding myself as I waddled towards our room.

"Regina you're a horrible liar, why are you upset?" Robin asked, leading me into the bedroom, helping me into bed.

"It's nothing Robin, I guess I'm still a little sensitive over you and Zelena, I just have to get used to the fact that you two have a child together." I admitted, my throats constricting to that dark time in our lives.

"Oh, babe I'm sorry. I really am, I've never messed up so bad-." But I stopped him and held my fingers to his lips.

"You've explained before, she's your daughter and I love her, my sister and I are working on our relationship." I answered, struggling to get myself under the covers gracefully.

I felt his hand guide my back under the comforter and rest on our active baby once I was comfortable. "She's really moving." He noted, making me groan and lay back, closing my eyes. "Are you alright?!" He asked nervously, but I just nodded and remained silent. "I'm okay, I just want to sleep. Why don't you check on the kids and see how they're doing, let them know that I'm okay." I suggested, opening one eye to see him nod and kiss my head before leaning down to my round stomach, placing a kiss on it as he stood up, leaving the room.

Robin

The sun had set and I realized that it was almost nine pm as I wandered towards my son's room where I heard a commotion on the other side of the door.
