Step Away From The Lady

I Can't, Can I? (Part 2)

Robin took his lunch break and went to the a jeweler Will told him to go to. He knew it was Regina's lunch break and figure it was Emma's too. He called Emma when he arrived.

"Hello Emma." Robin said

"Hi Robin." Confused she answered.

"Are you with Regina?" He asks seriously.

"No why do you need to talk to her." She smirked.

"No I need to talk to you. And you can't tell Regina." Still keeping a stern voice.

"Okay, is this serious?" Now worried she was intrigued.

"I need two things from you. First I am ring shopping for Regina and I want to get the perfect ring. Do you know what type she wants?" Hope she knew the answer.

"Awww that's so sweet, congratulations. Yes I do. She has always wanted a princess cut, around 1 carat size, and no crown around it. If you ask the jeweler they know what it means. Anything else?" She says so excitedly.

"Thank you and yes, I want to ask Regina's father for her hand in marriage, but I don't know where he lives. Do you know where?" He is happy at the fact Emma is excited.

"Yes I do he lives close to your office. 764 NE Castle Street. One time congrats and I promise not to tell her." She hung up.

Robin started to talk to the jeweler and found some rings he thought were beautiful. But then he found the one the most stunning and sparkly ring. Just as beautiful as her. It's was in his budget and he was buying right that second. He asked the jeweler to wrap it up and he did.

"She is a lucky girl. Congratulations!" The jeweler said.

"Thank you and I like to think she is." Robin chuckled. Getting used to the fact of people congratulating him.

He left and started to drive to Henry's house. Robin knew Regina and her father had a great relationship and hope he would allow Robin to take her hand. Robin knew this was old fashion, but he wanted to have this reassures that this was a go choice. He pulled up to the house and knocked on the door.

"Hello, Robin. How are you my boy?" Henry gave him a hug and pulled him inside.

"Besides extremely nervous I'm good." Robin answered.

"Why are you nervous?" Intrigued, Henry answered.

"I going to want you to sit down and I'm going to just say it, okay?" Robin nervously said.

"Okay." Henry replied

"May I ask for your permission to ask Regina for her hand in marriage?" He asked with his hands shaking.

Henry chuckled, "Of course you ask Regina. That's why you nervous?"

"Yes of course I'm nervous. I'm asking you marry your daughter. And this was my sign that I was making the right choice. Because knowing Regina she will freak out and I don't want that to happen." Robin relaxed and poured out everything.

"Trust me my boy I know what you mean. And I know you are a good man for my daughter she needs you. And she never stops talking about you. The amount of time she has called me and it ended up being hour long calls about you. Thanks for the ear aches." Rubbing his ears and chuckling Henry congratulated Robin.

"I'm sorry and thank you again!" Robin left and step into his car.

He sat there and thought about the different ways he could ask Regina. This is going to take forever. He kept thinking whether it should be extravagant or simple. He didn't know.
