《Believing In Fairytales》Chapter Eleven: Wounds

"Roland it's time for your bath." I say to him as he sits on the couch.

He looks at me for a few seconds then turns off the TV. He hops off the couch and looks at me. He sends me a smile before he starts running. I instantly run after him.

"Come back here!" I yell and all I hear is his giggles.

"I don't want a bath!" He screams as he runs through the kitchen.

I stop running and place my hands on my knees as I take a deep breath. How does Robin do it? I can't wait for him to get back from work.

"Roland, get your butt in here!" I yell and he soon comes into the kitchen.

"If you don't get in the bath right now you won't get dessert for a month!" I say to him.

"I don't care for dessert." He says with his arms crossed.

"How about I don't kiss you goodnight ever again?" I say and he pouts in defeat.

"Fine." He says and I smile to myself.

He follows me into the bathroom. He sadly gets into the bathtub that is filled with bubbles. I purposely put soap on his nose and he sneezes.

"How was your day honey?" I ask him and he lights up at a reason to start talking.

"It was great! I made a new friend at school and I traded my apple for pudding!"

"Great trade honey." I say as I ruffle his wet hair.

My phones buzzes in my pocket so I set the wash cloth down. I give Roland some toys so he'll be occupied. I step out of the bathroom and I answer my phone.

"Hello?" I say to the blocked number.

"Hi, are you Regina Mills?" A woman says.

"Yes, I am. What is this concerning?" I ask starting to get worried.

"Do you have a relationship with Robin Locksley?" The voice asks.

"Yes, he's my boyfriend. Did something happen to him?" I ask becoming even more worried.

"Yes, there was a shooting and he got injured. He was immediately brought to the hospital and you're his emergency contact."

"Is he alright?" I say with tears coming down my cheeks.

"I'm sorry I'm not allowed to give out that information over the phone." She says sadly.

"Thank you so much." I say as more tears fall down my face.

I hang up the phone and shove it back into my pocket. I dry my tears with the back of my hand. I can't give Roland any indication that something is wrong. I walk back into the bathroom to see him playing with his toys.

"Bath time is over honey." I say as I grab a towel.

He frowns as he steps out of the bathtub and into my arms. I wrap him in the towel and carry him in my arms. I walk into his room and gently throw him on the bed and he giggles.

"Can you get dressed for bed while I call auntie Em?" I ask him and he nods.

I give him a smile as I step out of the room. I quickly dial the phone and impatiently wait for Emma to answer the phone. Every time it beeps my heart beats ten times faster.

"Hey Reg how ar-"

"I need your help!" I whisper-scream over the phone.

"What's the matter?" Emma says getting how alarmed I am.

"Something happened to Robin and I need to get to the hospital. Can you watch Roland while I go?" I ask nervously.

"Where's Robin's parents?" Emma asks.

"They're out touring the city before they leave. Can you come over?" I ask desperately.

"Of course I'll be over in ten." Emma says and then she hangs up the phone.

I put the phone back in my pocket. I let out a deep sigh as more worry washes over me. I try to keep a straight face as I go back in Roland's room.

"How do I look?" Roland asks as he points to his mismatched pajamas.

"I love them." I say with a smile. "It's time for bed sweetie."

He climbs in the bed and I tuck him in under the covers. I give him a kiss on his forehead as I run my fingers through his curls. He must have been tired because he was asleep before I even turned off the lights.

I hear the door ring and I quietly run to it. I swing it open to see Emma in her red leather jacket I bought her. She doesn't waste any time and she wraps her arms around me.

"Go to Robin." Is all she says and I nod.

I grab the keys and run out the door. I shove my key in ignition and I start driving town the road. I'm pretty sure I broke all the speed limits as I race past the red lights. I finally get to the hospital and I run out the car. I run through the doors and straight to the nurse's desk. There are two women having a petty argument over something stupid. I take a deep breath before I grab their attention.

"I need to see Robin Locksley!" I say to the blonde nurse.

"And you are?" She asks me as she plops down into her chair.

"I'm his girlfriend! Now, where is he?" I scream through my tears and she looks down at a chart.

"Room 108, it's down the hall." She says as she points to the right.

I bolt down the hall in that direction. I open the door slowly and I wait in fear. It's opened fully and I see Robin asleep on the bed. He was shirtless and had a huge bandage on his shoulder.

"Robin?" I say with tears streaming down my face as I rub his hand.

"Babe." He says as his eyes pop open and he squeezes my hands.

"What happened to you?" I cry as I softly touch the bandage and he winces.

"My client was suing somebody and that person went crazy and pulled out a gun. He shot me in the shoulder and injured two innocent people."

"Robin are you okay?" I say as more tears fall down my face.

"Stop crying." He says as he wipes my tears.

"I'm sorry." I whisper.

"There is no need to worry about me. Where's your coat?" He asks and I look down to realize I wasn't wearing one.

"I was in a rush to make sure you weren't dead! Who cares about a coat when the person they love is in a hospital?!" I say and he smiles.

"You love me." He says and he starts laughing.

"Are they giving you drugs?" I ask him and he laughs again.

"Yup." He says and he pulls a piece of my hair back.

I shake my head and I turn around to look for my purse. I feel a hand slap my ass and I gasp loudly. I turn around to seen Robin giggling. I probably would have yelled at him but he doesn't know better in this state of mind.

"You have a great ass." Robin says and he starts laughing.

I deeply sigh as I sit down in the chair by his bed. He gives me a goofy smile and I laugh. He motions for me to sit next to him and I shake my head.

"I'm fine on the chair. Get some rest so we can leave tomorrow." I say as I fumble with my cold hands.

"I can't sleep without you Gina." Robin whines.

"Fine."

I kick off my shoes and lay next to Robin. My head lays on his good shoulder and I wrap my hands around his waist. His hand was wrapped around my hip. Now it is trailing down my thigh and landing on my ass again. I shake my head as I remove his arm.

"If we weren't in a hospital I would be hearing you scream my name on your sweet lips." He whispers with a goofy smirk as he kisses my lips.

"Robin, I'm pretty sure you won't remember any of this tomorrow. I don't want you to do something you'll regret." I say as I pull the blanket over me.

"I would never regret us." Robin says and his hand is yet again on my ass.

"Stop trying and go to sleep." I say as I remove his hand.

"Fine." He says with a pout almost identical to Roland's.

Soon he stops talking and drifts into sleep. I chuckle softly to myself because I know he won't remember any of this. I smile as I drift off to sleep on his chest.

"Regina, sweetheart when did you get here?" He says as he rubs my shoulder.

"I got here last night at like ten-ish." I say as I open my eyes and his blue ones are staring right back at me.

"Where's Roland?" He asks and I laugh. "What?"

"You weren't concerned about Roland last night." I say and I laugh again.

"What are you talking about?" He asks as I get up from the bed and start stretching.

"You were too busy trying to get laid last night." I say and then I slap his arm. "And that's for when you slapped my ass." I add and he blushes.

"I don't remember that and I am truly sorry for my behavior."He says and I nod.

"That's not the worst thing." I scoff as I sit in the chair by his bed.

"What did I say to offend you honey?" He says with concern in his voice.

"You said 'If we weren't in a hospital I would be hearing you scream my name on your sweet lips'." I say and he blushes immensely.

"I'm so sorry." Robin says as I laugh.

"Usually I would enjoy the sexy talk and the rough touches but it was too funny." I say as I laugh.

"Stop laughing at me babe. You're making me feel like crap right now." He says and I stop laughing.

"I'm sorry." I say as I grab his face and kiss him softly.

"Apology accepted. Now, let's get out of here." He says and I nod my head in agreement.

Robin was discharged from the hospital and I drove us home. Robin was very tired due to the medication they gave him and dozed off several times.

"Wake up." I say as I shake his arm.

"Oh, we're here?" He says groggily as he opens his eyes.

I laugh slightly and we get out the car. I open the door and I'm immediately attacked by Roland. Katherine and Richard are followed by him and Katherine gasps when she sees Robin's arm in a sling.

"Robbie what happened?" She says as she holds her son in a close hug.

"I was only shot in the shoulder. There is nothing to worry about." Robin reassures her and gives her a kiss on the cheek.

"We'll stay for an extra week to take care of you." Richard says and I instantly send a glare at Robin.

"That won't be necessary. Regina can take care of me." Robin says with a smile.

"I would rather take care of my baby." Katherine says and I try to hold in a laugh.

"Mum, just go back to England. I assure you that I will be perfectly fine." He says with a convincing smile.

"He's in good hands." I say as I wrap my arm around his broad shoulders.

"Fine, but if you call I will be on the next plane back over here." Katherine says and I can't help but to smile.

"It was great having you two here for a week." I say with a half honest smile.

"It was great meeting you." Katherine says and then she pulls me into a hug.

"Same here." I say with a smile and then she breaks the hug. "It was also a great pleasure to meet you Mr.Locksley." I say as I outstretch a hand for him to shake.

"Call me Richard." He says as he engulfs me in a tight bear hug.

"Dad, let her breathe." Robin says and Richard chuckles as he lets go of me.

They grab their bags and leave after giving Roland a tearful goodbye. Robin sees them out and I plop down on the couch. Roland scurries next to me and sits on my lap. I chuckle as I wrap him in my arms. Robin closes the door and soon joins us on the couch. He sighs as he wraps his arm around my waist.

"Finally, they're gone." Robin says quietly as he lays his head on the couch.

"Papa, that's rude!" Roland says and I laugh slightly.

"Let papa be rude this one time." I tell him and he looks up at me.

"Why mama?" He asks and he looks so adorable.

"It's been a long day and I don't think you want to argue with your grumpy papa." I say and Roland nods.

Robin holds my hand and I look at him. He gives me a small smile and I smile back. I lay my head on his good shoulder and Roland sits in between us. Nothing else was said but sweet kisses were exchanged between my boyfriend and I. This is all I've ever wanted and now I'll have it forever, maybe.
