"Papa wake up!"
"Yes Roland, how can I help you?"
"When is Gina coming home?"
"Possibly next week."
"Okay, get up, Uncle John will be here soon."
"Let's go get you ready."
~*~*~
As I starting falling back asleep, after Roland was picked up; I starting thinking about Regina, again.
You love Regina, she'll come back, don't worry, have hope. Only one more week. A week! You got this. God, I miss Regina's smile and laugh.
~Knock, knock~
Who in the hell could that be? I think to myself while getting up and going to the door.
"Robin." Mary Margaret smiles, "How are you holding up?"
"I'm just peachy." I lie, "Would you like to come in?"
"Oh, thank you." She enters, "She misses you, you know."
"As do I." I grab the whiskey and pour some for the both of us.
"Go to her, Robin, go knock Emma's door down, and grab her, express your undying love. Tell her that you miss her."
"I can't, we agreed on next week, going to Granny's and discuss our relationship." I sip my whiskey. Mary Margaret gives me a look of dissatisfaction.
"She was upset that you didn't stop her from leaving."
"I didn't stop her because I didn't know what to say, my heart tore in half." I explain while crossing my arms.
"I know, Robin, but if you go to her now, it'll fix it." She says, "I have to go now. I am helping David in the station." She gets up, hugs me, leaves me in the house alone, again.
When Roland comes home:
"Papa, guess who I saw this morning?!" I hear with fast footsteps.
"Who did you see?
" I saw... wait for it... GINA!!!!" He says so joyfully that I couldn't contain my laughter. "Do you really have to a whole week to talk to Gina? I miss her. I love her."
"I'm sorry little man, but we have to wait until next week. Would you like to go with Uncle John next week?" I say simply.
"I wanna come wif you, and try to get Gina home. She belongs with us Papa, we are her home." He starts to explain, " like the book Gina reads me, where there is love, you shall be home at last. Love is powerful. At least I think that it what it was saying."
"You think you're so smart, don't you?" I start tickling him.
"Papa! Stop! It tickles! He laughs hysterically.
"That's the point my boy! What's the magic word? I tickle him more, until he finally gives in.
"Uncle! I call uncle! He yells.
"Papa, can I come please, oh please come with you? He pleads putting is hands together like his praying.
"What if Gina doesn't come back, would you want to see her leave?"
"Yes Papa, she would give me one last hug and kiss me on my head. I want that. I want to tell her to stay with us too, Papa."
