Robin De Noir x reader [Pt. 3]

"Natalie, you mean the world to me and I can't live without you... Will you marry me?"

Natalie was in shock but quickly gave her answer.

"Yes!" she nearly shouted, joy ringing in her voice.

Robin smiled, relieved and quickly put the engagement ring on her finger. He then picked her up and twirled her around.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!" Natalie said over and over again.

Robin kissed her again.

"You can quit saying it now, Nat,"

"No, no. I never want to quit saying it. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!"

Robin picked her up in his strong arms and carried her back to the castle. Natalie put her arms around his neck and snuggled deep into his leather jacket.

"I can't believe that soon you'll be my husband and I'll be your wife," she said happily.

Robin grinned down at her, "You'd look absolutely beautiful in a wedding dress,"

Natalie grinned back at him and leaned up to give him a kiss. And then rested her head gently on his shoulder.

"Robin?" she asked a few minutes later as she fingered the feathers on his jacket.

"Hmm?" he replied, kissing the top of her head.

"How long had you had that ring?"

Robin stopped and looked down at her.

"I got it right after you left. I didn't want to lose you and I planned to marry you one day so that would never happen again. I wanted you to always be her with me at Moonacre,"

Natalie got out of Robin's arms and turned to face him.

"Robin, you kept a ring for me that long?" she asked, gently caressing his face.

"I told you. I've always loved you. And I've always wanted to marry you. I wanted to be married the day you came back,"

"Oh, Robin."

Natalie captured his lips in a sweet kiss.

"I love you so much, Robin De Noir," she whispered against his lips afterward.

She looked up into his deep brown eyes. He smiled and picked her up into his arms once more.

"And I you." he whispered into her ear.

He began walking again. They were halfway to the castle now. When they finally arrived, Robin set her down on her feet and kissed her gently on the lips before departing back to the De Noir castle. Once inside, Natalie shared the great news with everyone. After all the congratulations, she finally reached her room. She laid down on her bed and closed her eyes.

"I can't believe it. Soon I'll be Mrs. Robin De Noir." she said to herself.

She sighed with contentment. Suddenly, Natalie grinned an impish grin and ran to her desk by the window. She picked up a pen and a piece of parchment and began writing names. But she quickly stopped and laughed at herself at being so childish. There would be plenty of time to pick out baby names when they had children of her own. Natalie once again laid down on her bed and quickly fell asleep.

The Next Day...

"Natalie. Natalie." someone softly whispered in her ear.

Natalie slowly opened her eyes to see Robin kneeling on the floor beside her bed.

"Good morning, princess," he said and then softly kissed her.

"Mmm," Natalie murmured, "Good morning, my Prince Charming,"

"I don't think I'll ever be a Prince Charming," he laughed.

Suddenly, Robin took her hand in his.

"Come with me. I want to show you something,"

Robin led her through Loveday's secret passage and into the fresh sunlight, all the while holding her hand, guiding her through the forest.

"Robin, where are we going?" she asked him.

He laughed.

"Do you ever quit talking, princess?"

"I would if you'd answer my questions," Natalie grumbled.

He just chuckled in response and kept walking. She followed him to a hidden brook near the tree that they had found the pearls in.

"Oh, Robin, it's beautiful!"

"Do you really think so? I found it last night on my way home and I thought of you. I...thought maybe I could build our house here."

Robin looked up at her expectantly.

"Robin, that'd be absolutely wonderful! i'd love it here!" she beamed up at him.

"And I've been thinking. For the wedding ring... I thought maybe you'd want my mother's..." Robin trailed off.

"Robin, I-I couldn't possibly-" she started to protest.

"No, I want you to. You can't refuse." he cut her off, smiling.

Slowly, a smile split Natalie's face and she walked over to Robin to hug him.

"Thank you." she said against his chest.

"Anything for my princess." he said, burying his face in her wavy black hair.

Suddenly, Robin tensed and tightened his grip on Natalie.

"Robin, wha-" she started to ask.

"Shhh." he whispered, putting his fingers against her lips.

She pushed his fingers out of the way.

"What's going-"

"I heard something. Now, shhh..." he said, looking around to see what had made that sound.

CRUNCH. Natalie froze. Suddenly, a rabbit hopped out from behind a bush and they both began to laugh at themselves. Natalie turned to Robin then.

"Let's go tell the others our good news about the house, shall we?" she asked him, smiling and he returned the gesture, taking her hand in his as they walked off.
