"Babe, I have some news." Robin said as he walked into our room.

"Yes?" I asked him as I look up from my book.

"I have a conference in California coming up soon. I'll be gone at least five days." He said and my face became sad.

"Not having you at all times will be completely sad." I said as I got up from the bed.

"I'm going to miss you when I leave. I have to leave in a week and I will be sad every second I'm away from you." He said and he wrapped his arms around me.

"You won't miss me that much because you'll know that I'm here waiting for you." I said and I kissed him softly.

"I'm so lucky to have you." He said and I smiled like an idiot.

"No, I'm more lucky to have you." I said as our foreheads leaned on each other.

"I love you." He said and I smiled.

"I love you more." I said as I smirked.

"I love you most." He said as I giggled.

"I love you to the moon and back." I said with a wide smile.

"Why is everything a competition with you?" He asked me and I smiled.

"I like to win." I said with a smile and his grip tightened around my waist.

"Then you'll hate this." He said and he threw me on the bed and tickled me senseless as I giggled.

I recall that memory as I trace Robin's lion tattoo. He has to get up to catch his flight at eight but I can't bring myself to wake him. I look at the clock again and it's four fifteen in the morning. I sigh as I start to wake him up.

"Robin. Baby, it's time for your flight." I say as I gently shake his arm.

He groans in his sleep and pulls me closer to his chest. I see his dimples start to show as a smile graces his lips. He places a kiss on my cheek as he keeps his eyes closed.

"Robin, you have to wake up." I say with a smile.

"I would rather be here with you then at a conference with David." He says as he places another kiss on my forehead.

"David never told me he was going." I say with a confused face that he can't see.

"I'm going to get ready now." He says as he gets up from the bed.

"I'll be here waiting." I say with a smile.

"Or you could join me in the shower." Robin says with a wink.

"No thanks. You need to get ready and you don't need any distractions."

"You're no fun." He says as he pouts and walks in the bathroom.

I roll out of bed and walk into my closest. I sigh as I run a hand through my hair. I'm not even going to try to look remotely attractive. I take off my nightgown and throw on a pair of leggings. I quickly put on a bra and throw on Robin's New York Islanders jersey that I stole. I walk out of my closest as I pull my hair into an ugly bun.

"Oh, you're out already?" I ask as I see Robin.

"You've been in the closet for like twenty minutes." Robin says with a small laugh.

"Oh. Are you ready to go?" I ask him and he shakes his head.

"Why are you wearing my shirt?" Robin asks me with a small smile.

"It's actually my shirt now and I wear it because it smells like you. It's as if you're right in front of me and I'm going to need this to survive these next couple of days." I say with a smile.

"You're so adorable." Robin says as he gives me a sweet hug.

I lay my head on his shoulder and breathe in his pine cologne. I've never liked it on other guys but it's perfect on my thief. He gives me a kiss on my hairline and we just stand there in each other's embrace for a few minutes.

"Let's go babe." He says and I nod.

Robin takes his suitcase out to the car and I check on Roland. I slowly open his door to see his empty bed. I smile once I figure out where he is. I walk across the hall and open the door to find Roland snuggled against Emma. I asked Emma to stay with me while Robin was gone. She came yesterday and her and Roland are practically joined at the hip. I quietly close the door with a smile.

Warm hands wrap around my waist and I lean against his chest. He places his head on my shoulder and kisses me on the cheek. He holds my hand and we walk towards the door. He helps me put on my jacket and then puts on his own.

We walk towards the car and I climb into the passenger seat. As Robin walks around to get in the driver's seat I move my feet and sit on them. Robin gets in the car and starts the car.

"Let's go babe." He says and then he pulls out of the driveway.

Once we are safe on the road he grabs my hand. I smile as I rub the back of his hand with my thumb. I lean my head against the window and stare into the darkness.

I flutter my eyes open to see we're in a parking lot. I look around for a second before I reach Robin's face.

"I fell asleep didn't I?" I ask him and he nods.

"It's alright I know it's a little early for you to be up." He says with a chuckle as he rubs my knee.

"Hell yeah it is. Let's go inside the airport." I say with a yawn afterwords.

"Alright babe let's go." He says and we both get out the car.

He gets his suitcase out the trunk and soon we are hand and hand walking into the airport with his suitcase rolling quietly behind us. We are now waiting for Robin's flight.

I'm sitting next to him and our hands are tightly clasped together. I lay my head on his shoulder with a low sigh. He smiles as he rubs my knee.

"I'm going to miss you." I whine as I hold his hand tighter.

"I'm going to miss you too." He says as he kisses my cheek.

"It would be nice if you brought me some stuff from California." I say with a smile and he laughs.

"Come here." He says and he guides me to sit on his lap. "I love you so much." He says before he places kisses all over my face and I giggle.

"I love you too." I say as I smile widely.

"Flight 108 to San Francisco is now boarding at gate 12." A voice says over the loudspeaker.

"That's your flight." I say with a sad voice.

"Yeah, I have to go soon." Robin says.

I get off his lap and he stands up as well. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him.

"Have a safe flight baby." I say once I pull away.

"I'll have a safe flight. I love you Regina." He says and he gives me a small kiss.

"I love you too Robin."I say with a smile and then he walks away towards his gate.

A tear falls down my cheek as I watch him walk out a door. Oh God, I'm one of those girlfriends. I laugh slightly as I remember when I vowed that I would never be clingy. No, I'm not clingy I just love Robin so much. I smile to myself as I walk out the airport.

"Emma!" I scream as I walk through the house.

"Living room!" She screams back and I walk towards that direction.

"Can you make dinner tonight because I don't feel like it?" I say as I plop on the couch next to Emma and Roland.

"I invited someone to dinner and they will be cooking it." Emma says and Roland climbed on her lap.

"Who's coming over?" I ask as I look over at Emma.

"Your annoying brother is coming over and he's making me a steak."

"David isn't actually my brother and you know that. I thought he was at a conference in California."

"No, he's not at a conference. I had drinks with him last night."

"I'm not sure who I'm mad with more, David or Robin."

"You're mad at Papa more." Roland says with a little giggle.

"Why would you say that?" I say and I tickle Roland a little bit and he giggles.

"'Cause you love him. People who love each other are mad at each other." Roland says and I smile.

"That is very true. Where did you learn that?" I ask even though I know the answer.

"Watching TV with Auntie Emmy." He says and I give Emma a glare.

"Stop watching TV with Emma." I say with a laugh as I change the channel.

"There is nothing wrong with my TV show choices." Emma says and I scoff.

"Shall I name all of the trashy reality shows you watch. There's The Real Housewives of Storybrooke, Snow Plus Seven, Husbands of Maine an-" I'm interrupted by the doorbell.

"Saved by the bell." Emma says with a smirk.

I get up from the couch and walk over to the door. I swing the door open to see David with bags in his hands. He gives me a smile and I glare at him as I walk back into the house. He closes the door and follows me into the kitchen.

"Where's Robin?" I ask him as he puts the bags down. "Don't even think about lying to me."

"I won't lie to you but I can't tell you the details." He says and I furrow my brows.

"Is he even at a conference?" I ask him.

"No he's not at a conference but he is doing something important. Trust me it's not bad or anything." David says as he touches my shoulder and I shrug it off.

"You're like a brother to me and you can't even tell me this."

"It's for your own good. If I told you then you would freak out and get all worried like you usually do." He says and I run a hand through my hair.

"I'm freaking out now." I say with a nervous laugh and my phone buzzes in my pocket.

"It's Robin." I say as I look at the caller ID.

"Then answer it." David says before he leaves the kitchen.

"Hey Robin." I say once I answer the phone.

"Hey babe I missed you. I'm going to catch an early flight and my plane should land at like eleven." He says over the phone.

"The conference ended early?" I ask and I hear him hum in response.

"Yeah it wasn't interesting." He says.

"Who's that?" I hear a muffled voice say over the phone and Robin quickly shushes them.

"Who was that?" I ask him curiously.

"It was nothing. I can't wait to see you babe. Love you, bye!" He says and then he hangs up the phone.

"Um, okay?" I say to myself as I put my phone back in my pocket.

*****

I'm now sitting in the airport waiting for Robin's plane to land. I've been here for about an hour sitting with thoughts running through my head. Who was on the phone? Is he cheating on me? Is he hiding a secret drug operation in California? No, that last one is ridiculous and I really need to stop watching TV with Emma.

"Regina?" I hear Robin's voice from across of the room.

I smile as I spot him. I walk over to him and try to dodge the many people in the crowd. I spot him a few feet away from me and I start to run towards him. I jump into his arms and pepper kisses all over his face. His hands hold the bottom of my thighs to keep me steady.

"I missed you so much." I say as I give him one more kiss on his cheek.

"I missed you too babe." He says and I get down from his arms.

"Hi." A little girl says from behind Robin.

"Robin, who's this?" I ask him as I look at the little girl who widely smiles at me.

"I'm Rose, your daughter."
