《Believing In Fairytales》Chapter Seven: Just Keep Swimming
Advertisement
I quietly close the door of Roland's room and enter the hallway. I try to steady my shaking fingers by putting them in my back pockets. I walk slowly down the hallway towards Robin's room. I'm going to tell him the truth and then he's going to break my heart. I deeply sigh as I walk into his room.
"How's Roland?" Robin says as he looks up from me as he stays seated on the bed.
"He's out like a light." I say with a small and nervous smile.
Robin returns the smile and he pats on the bed next to him. I take it as an invitation to sit next to him. Once I sit down he wraps his arm around my waist. I tense up at first but then I relax as he pulls me into his warm side.
"I'm ready to talk." I say and I lay my head on his shoulder.
"I'm ready to listen." He says and he moves his head to place a small kiss on my hairline.
"I must warn you that my life is quite complicated and very sad. Well, it started when I was twenty. My mother pushed me towards a really nice guy and his name was Leo. I was young and so naive and we rushed into marriage."
"What was he like?" Robin asks before I finished the story.
"I was getting to that. After we got married he showed his true colors. He was an alcoholic and he would always beat me. He's the reason why I have those scars on my ribs and why I will sometimes have hip pain." I say and tears fall down my cheeks.
"I can tell there is something else on your mind. What is it?" He says and he gently wipes my tears away.
"Out of all the times he has raped me it never dawned on me that I could get pregnant. When I did get pregnant I was disappointed with myself because I couldn't provide my sweet daughter with a decent father. Once she was born I only got to hold her a minute before he took her away from me. I got to name her Rose and I never saw her again." I say through violent tears.
"Regina." Robin whispers as his thumb wipes my fallen tears.
I feel it in my gut and I see it in his amazing eyes. He's going to say something that will change my life forever. I just hope I don't cry too hard when he breaks my fragile heart.
"You don't have to be afraid of me. I promise we will find your daughter. I love you and I would never hurt you."
I quietly cry into his shoulder. He loves me and I love him. God, I love this man. How can I not love him? He's amazing, caring, funny, generous and handsome. Of course I love him but how can I say it?
"Now what do you want to do?" Robin asks interrupting my thoughts.
"I'm not sure what to do."
"We could do anything your beautiful heart desires." He says as he points to my heart.

"Anything?" I say with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes." He says with a wide smile.
"How about we cuddle and you can compliment me?" I say with a smile
"Okay, let's cuddle."
He gently carries me to the top of the bed. He easily pulls me into his grasp. His hands wrapped around my small waist and our legs are tangled. My hands automatically go to his cheek and I rub the stubble of his beard.
"You can start complimenting me now." I say with a smile.
"One, your eyes are gorgeous. I can easily find myself drowning in their warm chocolate brown color. I want to stare at them all the time. Two, your smile drives me crazy. I don't think I can go long without seeing it. Three, your pink lips are magical. Whenever I see them I want to kiss you because they are so alluring."
"Robin those are the best compliments I have ever heard. I love how you can easily name these simple things that you love about me." I say and then I kiss him softly on his chin. "You may continue complimenting me." I say with a laugh.
"You're so humble about your beauty. You're one of the few woman I've met that aren't worried about their appearance. I love how you can look completely amazing when you wear practically anything."
"Liar! I look unbearable most times and I'm not sure how you see me as beautiful."
"Because you are lovable."
"Whatever you say." I say as I snuggle my head into his shoulder.
"Because I'm always right." He says and his smirk is so clear in his tone.
"Do you know what I really want right now?" I say in a seductive tone.
"What?" He asks in a whisper.
"I want you." I whisper in his ear. He moves his head to give me a kiss but I block his lips with my hand. "To get me some fries." I say with a smile.
"What?" He says with confused look on his face.
"I want you to get me some fries." I say with another smile.
"Really?" He says and I roll out of his grasp.
"Yes, I am starving and it is your duty to feed your queen and your little prince once he awakens." I say in my most regal accent.
"Your wish is my command your highness." Robin says and he slightly bow his head and it makes me laugh.
"Is there anything else her majesty requires?" He says and it causes me to laugh again.
"She requires the cheesiest pizza in all the realms!" I say and I start giggling.
Robin laughs too and he pulls me into his loving grasp. I give him a little kiss on his nose. He smiles before he kisses me on my lips. He pulls away and we both have smiles on our faces.
"I'll be back soon." Robin says as he gets off the bed.
"You better or else!" I playfully yell at him.

"Or else what?" He says as he puts his shoes on.
"I will remove your organs in alphabetical order." I say in a serious tone.
"Which alphabet?" He says with a smirk and then he leaves.
I fall back on the bed and stare at the ceiling with a smile plastered on my face. How could I be so lucky to have an amazing guy like Robin to love me? He accepts all my flaws and he is out buying me food. This is a win-win situation. The door slowly opens and the curly haired little boy walks over to the bed.
"Hey Roland." I say as I help him get on the bed.
"Hi Gina. Where's papa?" He says and he rubs his adorable little eyes.
"Papa went to go get some food. He'll be back soon. Do you want to watch a movie?" I ask and he nods.
"Can we watch my favorite?" I say and I move off the bed and put the disk in the DVD player. I press start and join Roland back on the bed.
"What's the movie?" Roland says as he climbs on my lap.
"It's Finding Nemo." I say and he gets quiet as the movie starts.
Whenever he got scared he buried his head in my shirt. Whenever a funny part happened he looked up at my with a wide smile on his face. I wrapped my arms around his small body and held him as close as possible. About half an hour into the movie the door opens again. I turn my head to see Robin in the doorway and his hands full with food.
"Hello, sweetie." I say with a smile.
"Hello." He says and he gives me a sweet kiss on my cheek. "What are you watching?" He says as he places the pizza box on the bed and hands me a bag.
"We are watching a scary movie about a serial killer who murders a boy's mom. The disabled boy then gets kidnapped and his father travels thousands of miles to rescue him with the help of a mental woman." I say and I open the pizza box.
"Why on earth would you watch that with Roland?" Robin says with a confused look on his face as he looks up at the TV.
"Papa, it's just Finding Nemo." Roland says before he takes a bite of his pizza.
"Move over Regina." He says with a laugh and I move over to give him space on the bed.
The movie ended, the pizza box was empty and I left no trace of the fries that were brought. I was wrapped in Robin's arms and Roland was in between us. It seems as if everyone was going to drift to sleep until Roland started moving.
"Can we go swimming now?" He asks with his eyes glued on his half asleep father.
"Whatever you wish my boy. Go grab your floaties and put on your bathing suit." Robin says and Roland jumps off the bed and runs out the room with a loud squeal. I groan as I roll over. Robin rolls on top of me and places a kiss on my hairline.
"The prince requests us to accompany him on his journey to the pool your majesty." Robin says with a small laugh.
"I'm so comfy here." I whine in a high pitched tone. Robin rolls off of me and places two warm hands on my back. Without warning he pushes me off the bed and I fall on my rump.
"Hey! That hurt." I yell at him from the floor.
"Too bad. Go get dressed."
I get up from the floor and walk over to my bag. As I rummage through it I mutter to myself how much I love this man. I finally find my bathing suit and walk towards the bathroom. I quickly get dressed in my bathing suit then exit the bathroom. I open the door and see Robin in his bathing suit. My breath hitches once my eyes lay on his perfectly sculpted torso.
"Like what you see?" Robin says as he throws a towel at me.
"I hate you."
"You don't. Now, let's go to the pool." He says and he leads me out the room.
"What took you so long?" The little boy whined as he spotted us in the hallway.
"Patience my boy." Robin says as he scoops the boy into his arms.
As we walk towards the pool Roland chats away about how much he loves swimming. Robin and I stay quiet as the little chatterbox talks to his heart's content. We finally reach the pool and Roland squirms out of Robin's grasp. The little boy kicks off his flip flops and hops into the water. He happily swims around in the pool water.
"Why don't you hop in?" Robin says as he wraps his arms around me from behind.
"I think I'll wait a while." I say and I continue to stare at Roland.
Robin's grasp gets tighter around my waist as he lifts me off the ground. I giggle until he throws us into the pool. I gasp as the cold water sends goosebumps up my arms. I find my balance and stand up. I splash water into Robin's face with a ferocious whip of my hand.
"I wasn't ready for that." I yell at him as I playfully hit his arm.
"The element of surprise my love." He says as he engulfs me in a hug. I laugh and I move out of the hug.
"Rawr!" Roland roars as he hops on my back. "I'm a piranha."
"A piranha in the pool?" I asks with a raised eyebrow.
He giggles and I move around and carry him in my arms. Robin emerges from the water below us and wraps his arms around us. He spins us around and our loud echoing laughs could be heard throughout the house. Everything is perfect right now and I will try my hardest to keep it this way.
