Part 8

It had been over a week and her sickness had finally started to reach its end. Robin thought this might be the right time, he just needed a certain young mans opinion. "Hey Henry, can we go outside for a moment please?" Robin asked. Henry stood up nodding his head and went outside with Robin.

"What's up?" Henry asked looking up at Robin, crossing his arms. Robin smiles, he still didn't get this slang that Henry used all the time.

"I need to ask you something. Sense you have been with Regina for awhile and you are the man figure around her since she doesn't have her father around. I thought it best to ask you this. Can I have your hand in marriage to marry your mother?" Robin asked pulling out the ring for Henry to see, him smiling when he saw the smile on Henry's face.

"of course you make her so happy! I can't wait, do you need any help?" Henry asked with a grin. Robin shook his head and laughed.

"It's all covered I just needed your approval." Robin said. Henry nodded his head before they went inside. Robin went up to his and Regina's room where she's been cooped up. "Hey my Queen," he said walking into the room. Regina's face brightened seeing him in the doorway.

"Hi Robin" Regina said sitting up in the bed. Robin sat down on the bed beside Regina.

"Since you are feeling better I thought it would be nice if we went out tonight, my treat how about that?" Robin asked trying to hide the huge grin on his face.

"Oh Robin I don't want to make anyone sick!" Regina said her eyes widening.

"You don't have to worry about that," Robin said putting his hand on top of Regina's. "It's somewhere where you can't spread your germs to people just you and me and I'm fine with it." Robin said with a chuckle getting a small smile out of Regina.

"what's the requirement?" Regina asked.

"Just wear something a tad bit dressy doesn't have to be anything big," Robin said.

"Okay well when do we leave?" Regina asked her smile growing bigger by the minute.

"Right before dusk," Robin said with a smile. Regina nodded her head. She knew it would take her a while to get ready since she's been sick all week.

"Well I'm going to take a shower I really need one," Regina said with a laugh.

"How about I join," Robin smirks snaking his arms around Regina. Regina stood up and followed Robin into the bathroom. Where they had an enjoyable time. After they got out of the shower Regina told him to get out, she wanted to surprise him. Regina started to do her makeup to hide the dark circles and pimples on her face. She made sure that all imperfections were gone and couldn't be seen. Then her eyes she started on a black smokey eyes with a sharp edge how she likes it. When she was done her whiskey colored eyes popped. She glazed on a red lip and her makeup was done. Next was her hair it was cut at her shoulders so it could be easily managed she quickly blow dried it then started to style it she flat ironed it until it was done like it always was.
Regina went to her closet she picked a form fitting red dress with a gold belt. It hugged her in all the right places it looked like Regina had lost a few pounds from her sickness. She put a black jacket around her dress and styled her outfit with the appropriate jewelry, a red necklace bedazzled with diamonds and rubies and diamond earrings with golden embellishments. Like Regina suspected it was dusk when she stepped out of her room she walked down the stairs and Robin looked up at Regina star struck.

"Regina you look, you look amazing," Robin said his mouth hanging open starting at her. Robin gave her a quick kiss. He opened the door and out they went. Robin ordered a taxi for them to get to the location. "Here put this on I need it to be a surprise," Robin said handing her a blindfold. Regina willingly put it on, soon the car stopped. Robin opened the door and helped Regina out. He payed the taxi and he lead her to where their dinner was.

"Robin I hear a bunch of leaves where are we going?" Regina asked a bit impatiently. Robin laughed silently she hated not being in control.

"just wait we are about there," Robin said. Soon Robin stepped up to the sight the Merry Men helped set up earlier. There was a table in the middle of he opening an awning covering it fairy lights covering the whole thing. There was a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. Golden plates and silverware were set out it truly looked magical. There were willow trees surrounding the place making it seem even more magical. "Ready!" Robin exclaims untying the blindfold. When Regina caught sight her hand flew up to her mouth.

"Oh Robin, you didnt have to do all this!" Regina said turning to Robin with wide eyes. Robin smiles glad that he surprised her.

"Well you need it so come on," Robin said leading Regina to one of the seats. Once she was in it he slid her in and sat in the chair across from her. Robin poured each of them some wine and they began eating. The plates was full with chicken baked with rosemary, and mashed potatoes with gravy. Regina picked at the potatoes she didn't think her stomach could quite handle the chicken. Robin reaches across the table and held her hand and with a slight movement he knocked his knife off with his elbow.
He went down to get it and he got the ring out his pocket.

"Robin what are you doing your taking a long time?" Regina asked furrowing her eyebrows not yet looking. Robin leaned his head up and balanced on one knee. He took a hold of Reginas hand to her her attention he opened the box and showed the ring to her.

"Regina I love you so much. I can't explain to you how much I can't think of what could have happened if I was killed with the crystal all I know is that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are my soulmate. My true love, my everything and will you please do the favor of becoming Mrs.Locksley?"
Regina smiles tears evident in her eyes

"Of course Robin! I love you so much!" Regina said standing up and let Robin put the ring on her finger "Oh! It's beautiful!" she exclaimed. It was a golden band with diamonds encrusting the outside in the middle was a red diamond shaped like a heart in the middle of the heart was a gold sword sticking through it.

"You like it?" Robin asked biting his lip having been unsure if she would like it.

"Of course I love it!" Regina said with a grin looking at the ring moving it in the lights. "Let's go home Robin I can't wait to tell the family!" Regina tugs at his arm. Regina and Robin went home but there was a thought lingering in Regina's head. I can't bear children for him how could he love me then.
