《Believing In Fairytales》Chapter Thirteen: Rose
Advertisement
I stare at her with wide eyes once I realize she's my daughter. Her dark and curly black hair, her chocolate brown eyes and I can feel the sass pouring out of her. She's looks just like me. Tears stream out my eyes as I stare at my daughter.
"Please, say something." She says as she bites her lip, a bad habit she probably got from me.
"I love you." I say as I fall to my knees and hug her tightly.
"I love you too Mom." She says and I can hear the tears in her voice.
"Do I get any love?" Robin says and I immediately send him a glare. "What?" Robin adds.
"You lied to me." I say standing up. "You could've just told me the truth. Instead you wanted to be all sneaky and you made me worried. I thought you were doing something illegal." I ramble.
"Calm down Regina. I just went to get your daughter. Now, let's go home." Robin says and he walks to get their bags.
"Don't be mad at Robbie." Rose says as she tilts her head to the side with a smile plastered on her face.
"I won't." I say as I look at her adorable face. "I'm so happy to finally have you with me. I've missed you so much Rose." I say and I engulf her in another hug.
"Let's go girls." Robin says and I send him a small smile.
I pick Rose up and she clings to me. Her little legs wrapped around my waist and her arms tightly wrapped around my neck. I carry her with both my hands as her head lays on my shoulder. Robin leads us away from the crowd and out the airport. I lead us to the car and give Robin the keys. He slides into the driver's seat as I sit in the back with Rose.
Soon she's asleep and her head is laying on my lap. I run my fingers through her short hair with a smile on my face. I glance at Robin in the car mirror and he sends me a smile. I gently take Rose's head off my lap. I lean forward and give Robin a kiss on his cheek.
"I love you." I say and he smiles again.
"I know babe."
"How did you find her? I've looked for years and I didn't get anywhere." I ask him as I sit back in my chair.
"I didn't do anything I just hired the best personal investigator money can buy. He found her in two months and I picked her up at foster home and she was willing to be with her birth mother. I showed her some pictures of you and she was so excited to meet you, it was completely adorable." Robin says and I smile as I rub Rose's hand.
"I don't know how I could ever repay you Robin."
"Breakfast in a couple of hours would be great." He says and I laugh.
"Of course I'll make you breakfast. Now, I'm going to sleep." I say and I lay my head on the window.
"You're going to leave me alone to talk to myself so you can sleep?"
"Yup." I say and I close my eyes.
"Goodnight babe." He says and I hum in response.
*****
I feel myself being carried. I lay my head on a warm chest. I inhale deeply and smell his pine scent. I open my eyes to see Robin carrying me into the house. I shift slightly in his arms and he looks down at me. I send him a smile once my eyes look into his blue ones. Soon he lays me on the bed and pulls the blankets up to my shoulders.

"Go back to sleep." He says as his thumb rubs my cheek.
"Where's Rose?" I ask as I start to get up from the bed.
"She's sound asleep in her room." He says as he lays me back on the bed.
"Her room?" I ask as I look up at him.
"Yeah, it's right next to Roland's and you'll have to decorate it with her tomorrow, well later today actually. Now, go to sleep." He says and I smile.
"I can't sleep without you." I whine as I pull on his arm.
"Move over." He says and I move over with a smile.
He climbs into the bed with me and drapes the comforter over both of us. He wraps his arms around me and I snuggle my head into his chest. I trace his lion tattoo aimlessly until I close my eyes.
*****
I wake up to someone poking my cheeks. I open my eyes to see Roland continuing to poke me on my cheek. He has a confused look on his face and I see Rose standing right behind him. Robin's arms are wrapped around my waist and I wiggle out of his grasp.
"What's wrong?" I ask as I sit up on the bed.
"Who's this?" Roland says as he points to Rose.
"Roland that's my daughter Rose. She'll be staying with us." I say with a smile.
"How long Mama? I don't like her." He says in a whisper and I laugh slightly.
"Roland, she'll be here for a very long time. Now, you guys come and help me make breakfast." I say and I push them out the room and close the door behind me.
"How about we make some waffles?" I say as we enter the kitchen.
"I love waffles!" Rose and Roland say at the same time and I laugh.
"I love waffles more." Roland says.
"I loved waffles first because I'm the oldest." Rose says with a smile of victory on her face.
"I'm older than both of you so technically I loved waffles first, ha!" I say and they both give me dirty looks. "Don't give me those looks. Now, what kind of waffles do you want?" I ask both of them.
"Banana." Roland says and I nod.
"Chocolate chip." Rose says and I nod.
"Roland go get dressed." I say and then I start pulling ingredients out of the cabinets.
"Am I going to live here with you?" Rose ask and I stop whatever I'm doing to look at her.
"Of course you're going to live with me." I say with a smile.
"You want me?" She asks and it breaks my heart.
"Of course I want you Rose, I love you." I say with a smile and bend down to give her a hug.
"Can I help you?' She asks excitedly and I nod.
"Of course you can. You can even sit up on the counter and mix." I say as I lift her up on the counter. "Mix this." I tell her and she follows directions.
"Nice kid." Emma says as she leans on the wall.
"You're alive?" I ask and she ignores me.
"This is Rose right?" She asks and I nod.
"Wait, you knew and you didn't tell me?" I ask her and she nods sheepishly.
"Guilty as charged." She says with a shrug. "Are those waffles for me? You shouldn't have." She says as she walks in the kitchen even more.

"I didn't. Get out of my kitchen!" I yell at her as I grab the spoon Rose was using and throw mix at Emma. She swiftly ducks and it hits Robin in the face.
"Wasn't expecting that." Robin says as he wipes the waffle mix off his face and Rose, Emma and I all burst into laughter.
"I miss everything." Roland whines when he enters and everyone laughs which causes him to pout.
*****
The nuisance I call a best friend finally left allowing me and my little perfect family to have breakfast. Robin took Roland out for a "Guy's Day" to do God knows what. That left me plenty of time to spend with my daughter. My oh so amazing little girl. She has a great personality and she's practically a mini me and I love her.
"How do you want to decorate your room honey?" I ask as I sit next to her at the kitchen counter.
"Um, maybe something like Snow White." She says with a wide smile.
"A Snow White theme?" I ask her and she nods. "I have some ideas. There could be red walls and one can be white. On the white wall I'll paint you a mural and you can pick out all the decorations you want." I say and she squeals with excitement.
"In the mural can you have the Evil Queen she's my favorite!" She beams and I smile.
"She's my favorite too." I say with a smile.
"What do we do now?" She asks me as I widen my smile.
"Mother-daughter shopping trip!" I say and she squeals.
*****
I'm driving back home and Rose fell asleep in the car seat I just bought her. I might have went crazy in Target and Michaels and I hope Robin won't be too mad with the bill. I laugh quietly as I picture his face red with anger. I look at the rear view mirror and see my princess clutching a stuffed flying monkey that I bought her.
I pull the car into the driveway and pull the keys out of ignition. I slide out the car and open Rose's car door. I unbuckle her and carry her out of the car. She remains asleep and I carry her through the house and towards my room. I lay her gently on the bed and watch her snuggle against the pillow. I sigh before I go back out to get all the bags.
After about an hour or so I got all the bags out the car and sorted them. I also moved all the furniture in the center of Rose's room. I painted all four walls of her room and I did a decent job. I'm now painting the mural part of her room as I hum along to Ed Sheeran. I step up on the ladder to get closer to the top of the walls so I can paint the top of the apple tree.
"You paint?" A voice says behind me and scares the crap out of me causing me to fall into a set of arms with a scream.
"Don't sneak up on people like that!" I say as I smack Robin's arm as he puts me down.
"Sorry babe." He says as he kisses me on the cheeks. "I've never seen you paint and this is really good." He says and I blush.
"My mother caused me to stop painting. Rose requested so I complied with this." I say as I look at what I just finished.
Snow White was in the middle of the wall with Prince Charming and the Evil Queen by her side. To the right is a castle that is guarded by the eight dwarfs, I accidentally painted eight and decided to name the extra Stealthy. On the very left is a apple tree where I gracefully painted Rose's name in the three trunk.
"It's great. You should paint more." He says as he wraps an arm around my waist.
"Maybe I will but now I should go make dinner." I say and a yawn comes out my mouth.
"I ordered pizza and Roland and Rose are eating right now." He says and he gives me a kiss on the cheek.
"That's great because I'm exhausted." I say with a laugh then exit Robin's arms to clean up the paint.
"Regina." Robin and I turn around for him to put paint on my nose. "Regina the red nose reindeer." He says with a laugh and I growl.
"If I wasn't so tired I would pour this paint over you head." I say and he smiles.
"It's a great thing you're tired then." He says with a smile and I politely salute him with my middle finger.
Robin cleans up the paint as I take a well deserved hot shower. I come out the bathroom with my pajamas on and go to the kitchen. I eat whatever is left of the pizza and wash it down with a long awaited glass of wine.
Robin put the kids to sleep and even read Rose a bed time story. I could hear him clearly down the hall as tears ran down my cheeks. Rose isn't even his daughter and he takes great care of her. I yawn again before I walk into my bedroom.
I lay down on the bed and wait for Robin. Soon he's right next to me and we're tangled in each other's grasp. I smile before I start to kiss him. He opens his mouth and I slip my tongue inside. I quietly moan when he bites my lower lip.
He releases my lips from his warm ones and places kisses down my neck. I moan again once he starts to suck on my neck. I rub myself against his leg trying to find the perfect friction. I moan again once I find it.
"Goodnight milady." Robin says as he pulls away from my neck and moves his leg.
"What?" I ask very puzzled.
"I said goodnight. You should get some rest because you had a long day today." He says with a smirk I know he has on through the darkness.
"You're such a tease!" I whine and he place his mouth near my ear.
"I know I am Regina." He say seductively and it makes my whole body shiver once his warm breath meets my neck.
"Goodnight lovely." He says after he nibbles on my ear.
He settles down next to me with his arms wrapped around my waist and his head right behind mine. His warm and steady breaths send shivers down my spine as I wish that his hands were somewhere lower.
