This story takes place a year and 9 months after Robin died. Something had happened to Regina but, Robin died before she could tell him. Emma and Killian were happily married, the Final Battle was over, and villains hadn't attacked for months. What...
Arrow dreams always included some adventure in a far off land. She was one year old and had a very creative imagination. Tonight, her dream had taken her to some camp in a forest. The camp was completely empty except for a man sitting in the middle. The man that her mama told her about every time Arrow wanted her to tell a story. She decides to try to talk to him so she walks over. Her words only consisted of Mama, Enee(Henry), and yay, but, this man looked and smelled like the man that Regina had described as her Dada.
"D...Da....Dada?" asked Arrow happily.
Robin looks up, hearing a young girl say Dada for, what sounded like, her first time. She had beautiful blue eyes and beautiful black hair. "Are you lost?" asked Robin, smiling softly at the girl. She looked too young to be without her parents.
Arrow shakes her head no. "Dada" said Arrow happily, pointing at Robin
"Me? How old are you?" asked Robin smiling. The young girl definitely looked too young to be the daughter that he and Regina had tried to save a year and 9 months ago.
"Un" said Arrow happily, holding up 1 finger
"Is she your Mama?" asked Robin, pure love sparkling in his eyes, showing the adorable little girl a picture from his and Regina's wedding day.

"Mama!" said Arrow happily, pointing at Regina in the picture
"Tell her I love her. " said Robin, happily smiling, making a heart shape with his hands, starting to disappear because Arrow was starting to wake up.
Arrow nods, hugging Robin, tears starting to fall, not wanting him to disappear.
"I'll find you. I will always find you. " said Robin, pure love in his voice, holding his daughter close in his loving arms as he disappeared, not wanting to leave her side.
"Mama!" said Arrow as she woke up, tears falling
Regina runs into Arrow's nursery, hearing her wake up. "What's wrong sweetheart?" asked Regina, pure love in her voice, taking her out of her crib, holding her close in her loving arms. She knew the difference between Arrow's just woke up tears and sad tears. She could tell that something was bothering her.
"Dada!" said Arrow, sobbing in Regina's arms.
Regina gasps, shocked, hearing Arrow say Dada so perfectly. "What about him?" asked Regina, tears of her own starting to form.
"Dada"said Arrow, making a heart shape with her hands and pointing at Regina, trying to make the talking symbol
This makes Regina cry more because she knew exactly what Arrow meant. She was trying to tell her that Robin loves her. "I love him too Arrow. " said Regina, attempting to talk through the tears.
Arrow makes babbling gibberish noises while making hand motions, trying to describe how she had met her Dada in her dream. She ends with the hand motions she uses for,"I will find you. I will always find you. "
"Sweetie, go back to sleep and try to talk to him again. " said Regina, pure love in her voice, tears falling, putting Arrow back in her crib.
Arrow nods, understanding Regina. She hadn't wanted to wake up in the first place. She wanted to keep dreaming so she could be with her Dada. She closes her eyes, thinking only of Robin. Regina casts a spell to come into Arrow's dream, and falls asleep, on the floor, next to her crib.
"Mama?" asked Arrow happily, surprised to see her in her dream
"Arrow, you know how much I miss him. I can never tell you a story about him without crying. " admitted Regina sighing
Arrow hugs Regina and smiles, before continuing the walk to the camp.
Regina relaxes and happily walks with Arrow.
They walk into the camp and, sure enough, Robin's soul was sitting there, waiting.
"R....Ro....Rob....Robin?" asked Regina, tears of joy starting to fall, immediately running to him, hugging him, completely relaxed in his loving arms, taking in his calming, foresty scent.
Robin immediately hugs Gina, holding her close in his loving, comforting arms, not letting her go. "It's ok Gina. I'm here. I'm coming home soon." said Robin, pure love in his voice
"Wh...What do you mean coming home?" asked Regina, a smile appearing on her face, hope appearing in her eyes for the first time since Robin died.
"Mama?" asked Arrow happily. She had never seen Regina look that happy.
Regina happily picks up Arrow. "Your Dada makes me very happy sweetheart. "said Regina happily, pure joy sparkling in her loving eyes
"Yay!" said Arrow, happily smiling, clapping her hands.
"What's her name Gina?" asked Robin, happily smiling, pure joy sparkling in his loving eyes
"Arrow" said Regina, smiling happily, pure love in her voice
Arrow giggles.
"It's perfect for her." said Robin happily
"I'm glad you love it." said Regina happily
"Mama, Dada!"said Arrow happily, making a heart shape with her hands
Robin smiles and his soul starts to disappear because Arrow was starting to wake up. "No! Robin! Don't leave me! I command you to not leave!" said Regina, tears starting to stream.
"It will be ok Gina" said Robin, pure love in his voice, his feet and legs completely disappeared.
"I need you. I don't know how to live without you. I force myself to eat. I force myself to get up in the morning. I force myself to do simple things so I stay healthy for Arrow, Roland, and Henry. I can't do this alone...." admitted Regina, her tears continuing to stream, immediately kissing Robin one last time.
Robin immediately hugs Regina, not letting her go, pure love sparkling in his loving, comforting eyes, and softly kisses her. The moment they kiss, Robin starts glowing, reappearing.
"Dada?" asked Arrow happily
"R...Robin? What's going on?" asked Regina, relaxing in Robin's loving arms, realizing what was happening.
"I think we did true loves kiss " said Robin happily, pure joy sparkling in his loving eyes.
"Wait, a-" started Regina, unable to finish her sentence because Arrow woke up.
"Mama?" asked Arrow happily, reaching up her arms so Regina could take her out of her crib
"I love you sweetheart " said Regina happily, pure joy in her voice, happily picking her up.
"Yay!" said Anna, happily smiling, pure love sparkling in her adorable 1 year old eyes.
There's a random flash of light, and someone appears at the door of Arrow's nursery....
