Thank you, @Nephlitedogy, for this prompt! 😊

Robin had been wandering around the town for several hours before finally deciding on heading back home. Roland was probably still asleep and Regina said she wanted to finish reading her book, so Robin decided to take a walk and clear his mind. That was the night - the one when he finally gathered enough courage to propose to Regina. After everything they have been through, Robin understood that he did not want to spend one more day apart from her. However, proposing to Regina turned out to be a bit more challenging than he initially expected. It was not that she expected something grandiose, but it was him who wanted everything to be perfect.

The moment he entered their home, Robin was immediately greeted by the sweet sound of his lover's rich laughter. His eyes were now glued to the two most important people in his life, Roland and Regina, as they were animatedly chatting in the kitchen. They did not see him, so he took advantage of the situation and leaned upon the closest wall, trying to hear what they were talking about.

"Come on, just a little bit!" Roland pleaded while sticking his bottom lip into an adorable pout.
"I do believe you can gather your toys even without magic, Roland," Regina smirked towards the young boy.
"I don't want to use it to clean up my room, I have more important plans than that," he argued back.
"Alright, come over here," Regina said as she finally gave in.

Robin watched as his son excitedly left his seat from the kitchen island so he could sit on Regina's lap. For a 4 year-old, Roland was still a tiny boy, and Regina loved that she could still cuddle him like a small baby.
"Remember, Roland, magic is emotion. It doee not matter if you are born with it or not, you can use magic if you truly believe in it," Regina told him.
The young boy firmly shut his eyes, extending both of his arms in front of him, just as he saw Regina do countless times before.

Only moments later, a cupcake appeared in front of him. It was messy, the frosting was almost melted and Regina also suspected that it somehow was not thoroughly baked, but it was still something Roland managed to create out of thin air.
"I did it!" he shrieked once he opened his eyes.
Regina beamed at him, congratulating and hugging him close to her. While growing up, Rumplestilskin only used punishments as means of encouraging Regina during their magic lessons, which was probably one of the causes why she could only use dark magic.

"Let's put some sprinkles on it, shall we?" Regina proposed.
"Can we?" Roland asked with childlike enthusiasm.
Regina only smiled as she waved her hand around Roland, targeting the collapsing cupcake. A white mist left the palm of her hand, instead of the purple one which she was used to. Roland's cupcake was surrounded by it, and by the time it dissipated, the desert had doubled in size, the frosting was fixed and various types of sprinkles covered it.

Roland rapidly turned in Regina's arms, kissing her cheek and wrapping his small arms around her neck.
"I only want to use magic for one more thing now," he stated decisively.
He resumed his initial position, facing away from her, and closed his eyes. When Regina could not see any change around them, she turned Roland around and gently asked him about what he wanted to do that time.
"I wished for you to be my mommy," Roland replied shyly.
"Oh, Roland..." Regina began.
"Is that alright?" Roland asked with uncertainty in his voice.
"I... Yes, Roland, of course it is. However, you do not need to use magic for that. You know I will always love you, my little knight, and I would be honored to be your mommy," Regina answered as she caught a glimpse of Robin standing next to the door.
Well, Robin definitely had to step up his game for the proposal.
