My large family

5

Later that day. Robin went to stay in a hotel and was going to try talking to Isabella tomorrow. I'm not putting Alex to bed. I lifted the cover over him and kissed his head.

"Mummy" he asked.

"Yes" I say softly.

"Can you read me a story" he asked softly.

"Of course I can" I replied with a soft smile.

"GREEN EGGS AND HAM" I laughed and picked up the book. It was green eggs and ham by Dr Seuss. I opened the book and was about to start reading. "Wait... where's mumma" he asked sadly.

Me and Regina always read this story to him together. She was the grumpy one and I was Sam.

"She's in her room thinking baby" I say as I stroked his head.

"But we cant read without her" he pouts.

Because of his Down syndrome he has a hard time dealing with any kind of change. Even something small like Regina not reading a certain part in the book.

"I'll go see if she can come" I say as I stand up.

I left the room and went down the hall to mine. Regina was sat on the bed looking at photos of all of us together. Lots of just me and her. Just her and the kids. Just me and the kids. All of us together. All sorts. I sat down next to her and she rests her head on my shoulder.

"Why does everything keep messing up" she sighed.

"I don't know. I love you though" I whisper as I play my arm around her shoulder.

"I love you more. I hate robin"

"I know. Alex sent me in here. He wants you to read green eggs and ham" I asked softly to her.

"Come on. I know what he's like with change" she replied standing up.

I held her hand as I stood up and pulled her close to me. She looked into my eyes with that sad little face she held. I cupped her cheek and kissed her slow and soft. When we pulled away she smiled at me.

"We'll be ok" I smiled.

She pecked my lips and kept hold of my hand. We walked out and into Alex's room. He looked excited to see us and sat up quickly. I sat down on the bed and lifted him into my lap. Regina sat next to me and kissed his small little head.

"Can we read now" he excitedly asked.

"Yes" Regina giggled.

I opened the book and cleared my throat.

"I am Sam. Sam I am" I start.

"That Sam I am. That Sam I am. I do not like that sam I am" Regina says with a frown.

"Do you like green eggs and ham" I asked looking at Alex.

"I do not like them Sam I am. I do not like green eggs and ham" Regina frowned as she looked at our son who was giggling.

We read the whole story to him and he feel asleep in my arms. I led him down before kissing his head softly. Regina did the same and we stood up. We left the room and closed the door. I saw jasmine walk out of cliffs room the same as us.

"Hey" Regina says softly to her.

"Are you ok about seeing robin" I asked.

"I hate him. I can't believe thought he'd be able to meet my son. He must have guts" she sighed before walking off to her room.

"Did something else happen between him and the kids? He hit Isabella and she still missed him but they all are furious" I asked as me and Regina headed to our room.

"Umm... yeah he did" she says as we walked in.

"What"

"He basically told them that there useless and wanted nothing to do with them but horribly. The only one he didn't was Isabella because he felt bad for the slap" she sighed while sitting down.

"Why do you think he came back"

"To see jasmine and cliff. I know he didn't want to see any of us"

"How do you know" I asked sitting next to her.

"If he wanted to see all of us before he wouldn't have came sooner. As soon as he found out about cliff he came" Regina sighed as she led down.

I led down next to her and held her hand. She faced me and smiled softly. I smiled back and cupped her cheek.

"I love you and even if you decide you want to leave me for some crazy reason I'll never let those kids out my life" I say softly making her smile.

"Why if I leave you" she chuckled.

"Cause I'm not leaving you unless I'm mentally crazy" I laugh as she laughed.

"I love you baby" Regina replied as she cupped my cheek.

"That's the part when you say you'll never leave me as well" I say as I sat up a little.

Regina laughed and pulled me down to kiss her. I deepened the kiss and held myself above her. We slowly pulled away and smiled at her.

"I'll never leave you unless I am insane. By the way... your not allowed to die before me" she says as our eyes are locked. I frowned confused. "I can't go through the pain of loosing you forever. I went through hay with my brother and my dad. I'm not doing it again. Not with you and not with the kids"

I smiled softly and kissed her. No matter what the fight is me and Regina always come back to each other. She's my love and I'm hers. Nothing can break us apart... except maybe who we meet next in the story...
