《Believing In Fairytales》Chapter Sixteen: Yes!
Advertisement
I wake up to a cold bed and a quiet house. The house is never quiet! I pull back the blankets and start walking towards the kids' rooms. I open both of their doors to find empty beds. I here some light chatter and I walk towards the kitchen. Robin was eating breakfast with Roland and Rose and Sammy was quietly sitting at their feet. I stare at them puzzled before Robin spots me.
"Did you want some breakfast?" He asks me and I start asking my own questions.
"Why didn't my alarm go off? I always wake up early and why are Roland and Rose so quiet? And how in the hell has Sammy not managed to knock me over yet?" I ask and Robin laughs.
"That's a dollar in the swear jar." Roland says and I give him a glare.
"Just tell me. Did someone die because that's the only thing that makes any sense?" I say and Robin shakes his head.
"Well Sammy got fixed so his behavior isn't as bad. Rose and Roland are waiting for Emma to take them to school and you aren't going to work." He says with a smile.
"Why am I not going to work?" I ask him with a glare.
"We can't spend the day together if you're at work." He says with a grin and the doorbell rings.
"I'll get it and you can clean this mess up." I say as I give him another glare.
I walk over to the door and open it to see Emma. They rush out to her car after they give "Auntie Emma" a quick hug. She stares at me and I stare back at her.
"Why are you staring at me?" I ask her and she shakes her head.
"Just don't be stupid okay. So say yes or I will personally kick your small ass." She says with a smile and I look at her confusedly.
"What are you talking about?" I ask her and she just ignores me and leaves.
"Is everyone on drugs or is it just me?" I ask myself as I walk into the kitchen.
"I made you a small breakfast. Have a seat and come eat it." He says and I instantly give him another glare as I sit down at the counter and start eating.
"So, for today I have some plans. I'm obviously not going to tell you where we are going and to make sure that you are extra surprised you'll be blind folded." He says as he gets a scarf.
"I don't like the whole being blind thing. That's not going to work with me." I say and he laughs.
"Come on Regina. It'll be fun." He says with a smile and I give him a glare. "Don't you trust me?" He asks and I scoff.
"Not at the moment." I say once I finish my breakfast.
"I know you trust me babe. So, after you get dressed you're going to wear this blindfold whether you like it or not. Then, I'm going to take you somewhere and you're going to love me." He says and I roll my eyes.

"Sometimes I honestly doubt why I love you." I say as I walk out the kitchen.
"We're leaving in ten minutes and don't wear any makeup!" He yells.
"But I like makeup!" I yell back at him as I walk into our room.
He yells a response that I can't hear as I walk into my closet. I sigh as I glance over at my wardrobe and look through the clothes. I decide to wear a pair of jeans and a cropped dark green shirt. I walk out the room and see Robin waiting for me.
"Finally, we can leave. Now turn around so I can put the blindfold on you." He says and I turn around.
"I'm a hundred percent sure I won't like this." I say once the blindfold covers my eyes.
"I'm a thousand percent sure you will." He whispers into my ear. "You look absolutely stunning in green." He whispers as he kisses my neck.
"Let's just hurry this up." I say quickly.
"I'll carry you to the car." He says and I start to protest.
"Robin don't do th-" I'm interrupted by him throwing me over his shoulder.
"Be quiet and enjoy the ride." He says as he starts walking.
"Why are you kidnapping me?" I yell at him.
"You're lucky that I haven't put a burlap sack over your head." He says with a chuckle. "We're at the car." He says as he sets me down on the ground.
"You are a very annoying man." I say as I slide into the car.
"I know." He says once he gets in the car.
I'm not sure how long we've been driving and I get bored. I start to play with my restless fingers. A large hand is placed on my knee and I intertwine our fingers. I smile as he rubs the back of my hand.
"We're here." He says and I eagerly tear the blindfold from my eyes.
"The movie theater?" I ask as I look at the sign.
"We've only been to the movie theater since Roland's birthday. It's a typical date venue and we've never been here." He says and I nod.
"Well, then what are we going to see?" I ask him and he smiles.
"I was thinking Crimson Peak, it's a horror movie." He says and I nod.
"Okay, let's go." I say as I get out the car.
We walk hand in hand into the movie theater. Robin buys the tickets while I order some snacks. We walk into the small screening room. Robin picks seats in the middle and we sit down next to each other. I start eating some chocolate as I watch some trailers. Robin's hand moves over and reaches into my box of chocolate.
"Stop it. I'm not sharing." I say as I move the box.
"I paid for it and I should get some." He whines and I shake my head.
"Do you really want to come between me and chocolate?" I ask him with a raised eyebrow.
"I guess not." He says and the lights dim and the movie begins to start.

About half an hour into the movie a ghost pops up on the screen and I bury my head into Robin's shoulder. He chuckles as I let out a little scream. He rubs gently circles on my back as I shield my eyes from the horror movie.
"You can look now." He says with a laugh and I elbow him in the side as I look at the screen.
"That's not funny!" I yell at him.
He laughs at me and we continue to watch the movie. The movie consisted of more jump scares that had me hiding in Robin's shoulder. He would laugh at me and call me adorable and I would ignore him. Soon the movie ended and we walked out the movie theater.
"What do you have planned now, kidnapper?" I ask him with sarcasm.
"We are going to the park!" He says and I give him a crazy look.
"You know I'm not an outdoors person." I say and he smiles.
"I really don't care because we are going to have a picnic and you're going to like it." He says and I smile.
"Why are you always threatening me?" I ask him and he chuckles.
"Because, you are too stubborn to go with the flow. Now, come on let's go." He says as he grabs my hand and we start walking to the park.
"Have we been here before?" I ask him once we reach a trail and start walking.
"Remember our first date. I didn't want to take you home yet and I thought that we could take a walk. That was when I knew I loved you." He says and I smile.
"I remember that. I made the first move and held your hand." I say as I grab his hand.
"Let's have a seat." He says as he leads over to a bench.
"Why are we here?" I ask him.
"We are here because the last couple of weeks it's been about the kids. We should just have a day for us." He says and I nod.
"Thank you." I say as I lay my head on his shoulder.
"Regina?" Robin says as he rubs my hand.
"Yes." I say with a smile as I lean my forehead on his.
"Can we talk?" He says and I laugh as I move closer to him.
"We are talking." I say with a wide smile.
"I need you to be serious. We need to talk." He says and I frown a bit.
"Did something happen?" I ask him.
"I fell in love with you and you mean everything to me." He says and I smile.
"I love you." I say as I lay my head on his shoulder.
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start sooner." He says and I look up at him.
"What are you talking about?" I ask him and he shakes his head.
"Look, I guarantee you that there will be tough times. I guarantee that at some point one or both us will want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee if I don't ask you to be mine I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know in my heart you are the only one for me." He says and a few tears escape my eyes.
"Robin what are you doing?" I ask in a whisper and he gets down on one knee. He holds my hand tightly as he stares into my eyes.
"Regina, will you marry me?" He says as he holds up a beautiful ring that came from his pocket.
"Robin, of course I'll marry you!" I squeal through a flood of salty happy tears.
He slips the beautiful ring on my small finger and kisses my knuckles. He gets up from his knee and sits next to me. He grabs my face and smashes his lips against mine. I break the kiss and give him a smile.
"We're getting married!" I say and he smiles.
"You're going to be my wife." He says as he rubs my cheek.
"What made you want to propose now?" I ask him and he smiles.
"Well, I wanted to wait until we got Rose. I asked her and Emma for your hand and they agreed after some threats of course." He says and I laugh.
"You really asked them?" I ask as tears fall down my cheeks.
"Of course I did. Now, how about we have that picnic?" He asks and I nod.
We walk over to a large tree and sit on a blanket. Apparently Robin had Emma drop off a picnic basket while we were at the theater. Once we finish the lunch that Robin packed we end up laying on the blanket and looking at the clouds.
"That cloud looks like a dragon wearing a tutu." I say as I point to a cloud.
"I think it looks like a elephant with a top hat." Robin says and I giggle.
"It does not. Why can't I be right for this one time?" I ask and he chuckles.
"You are always right and I'm left to be the idiotic fiancé." He says and I laugh.
"Although you are stupid you have a pretty face and that is all that matters." I say and I give him a kiss on his cheek.
"We are getting married babe!" He says as he rolls on me and gives me a kiss.
"I can't believe it honey." I say with a smile.
"Well you better believe it. Now, let's go home." He says and I smile.
We walk out the park and towards the car. I give Robin another smile. This is going to be my life now and I can't wait for it to start. My own little fairytale come true.
