A New Beginning

Chapter 5

I go sit next to Henry's playpen and smile at him. I hear Regina say "What do you want  Robin?"  She doesn't sound happy to see this Robin, so I listen up in case she needs anything. "No Robin. It's over... I don't care. I don't want to see you anymore. Please leave I have a dinner guest". I stand and walk over to the living room door now. "Well it didn't take you long to start fucking around did it?"  Regina raises her voice "Robin, leave now !"  "Robin, get your damn hands off of me". I go out into the foyer quickly. "Everything ok out here Regina?" I say as I stand next to her. I look at his hands on her arms then look at him. He slowly removed them. "Everything is ok thank you. Robin was just leaving". "Regina we need to talk". "There is nothing to talk about. It's over, please leave".  "Don't say that, please". "I believe she asked you to leave, so I suggest that's what you do".  He laughs and says "Oh really Rambo, and what are you gonna do if I don't?"  I step up in his face, he's actually a little shorter than me, so I look down into his eyes. "You'll find out if you don't get the hell out of here". He smiles. "Bring it on bitch". I go to take a step forward but Regina stops me. "Ok that's enough. Robin go now". "Not till your little girlfriend and I finish this". "No, nothing is going to happen here. I have a baby inside I need to get back to. Goodbye Robin. Let's go Emma" She says grabbing my hand and we walk back in the house. She slams the door and locks it. Then walks straight to the living room. I stay by the door and look out the window, watching Robin get in his truck and peel off. I huff out a breath and make my way to find Regina. I slowly walk to her "Regina I'm sorry if I made matters worse back there. I just saw his hands on you and you kept telling him to leave, I guess I just went into protective mode". She shakes her head no. "It's fine Emma. Thank you for everything you just did. I'm actually glad you were here for that. I don't think he would have left so easily otherwise. She said sadly. "Is it ok if I ask what that was about?" "I'll tell you, but first I'd like to get Henry ready for bed if you don't mind. Then we can have a drink". "Ok". She goes to reach for Henry but I see how shaky her hands are so I stop her by putting my hand on hers. "Please, let me carry him upstairs for you". It wasn't really a question but she squeezes my hand and nods. I pick up Henry and follow Regina upstairs.
