Past or Present?

Chapter 6

I picked Roland up. "Honey, are you okay?" I asked worried. He nodded his head while still crying "But, that lady said I couldn't see you or daddy ever again." He said as he buried his head into my neck and whimpered. I rubbed his back and rocked him up and down to soothe him "Shh... It's okay honey. I'm right here. No one could ever make me stay away from you. You're my little knight." I coo and kiss his nose. "Come on let's go find your daddy." I grab my keys and walk out with Roland on my hip. I head out to town and see Robin looking all around the park yelling Roland's name. Marian was also there. I take a deep breath and walk over, "Um is this who you're looking for?" I ask sheepishly and Marian scoffs. "Robin she kidnapped Roland!" She accuses me. I roll my eyes "Actually he showed up out of breath and crying because of you."

I set Roland down "Look, I get you're upset. The last time you saw me was when I was some evil queen, but I have changed. And I would never do anything to hurt Robin or Roland. You may not believe it, but I do love them."

I could tell she was shocked at the word 'love'. "How is someone like you capable of love?" Marian asks. Robin steps in and looks at Marian "Marian! Would you stop? I love Regina. She loves me. And to be honest if it wasn't for you, we would be engaged by now! That night you came back I was going to propose!"

My eyes widen and my breath hitches "Y- you were going to propose?" I ask with tears in my eyes. He turns around "Yes I was."

Marian was outraged and looks at me "He's all yours. I don't want someone who loves you. You're just an evil bitch and you always will be!" She storms off.

Robin hugs me and holds me close to him "Don't listen to her. You're with me now. You're not an evil bitch. You're Regina Mills, the love of my life, and my soul mate. And I hope, my fiancé."

He gets down on one knee. "Regina Mills? Will you marry me?"

I smile and tears start rolling down my cheeks. "Yes." I whisper and he lifts me up. We share a passionate kiss, but we were interrupted by a small 4 year old tugging on my pant leg. I chuckle and look down "Yes my little knight?" I ask sweetly and he scrunches his face "How come I don't get no hugs and kisses?" He asks in a jealous tone and I smile as I lift him up. We all share a big hug and I look at Robin, his bright blue eyes looking into mine with full of love... No words could describe this feeling. So if you were to ask me past or present? I would choose right here, right now.
