Searching- the Bond of Love sequel

Chapter 111

Robin

I stare in shock as Belle enters the room, smiling weakly at Regina and I.

"Belle, what are you doing here? Where's Amelia?" I frown

"I came to talk to you both about Amelia and Rumple" she sighs

"What about them?" Regina frowns, sitting down beside me

"Robin, I'm really sorry about Amelia and what happened that day when you came, I had no idea Amelia was your daughter, well I did but I had my memories wiped to make it look like Amelia was mine and Amelia the same, even though she didn't know you. Rumple made a massive mess of things but he isn't going to anymore" she explains

"What's that supposed to mean?" I frown

"I banished him to another realm, preventing him from ever returning so he can't hurt Amelia or anyone else" she sighs

"He's gone?" Regina says in surprise

"Yes he is, but I wasn't finished" she nods

"Go on" I say, urging for her to continue

"I want Amelia to be with you, she's not my daughter biologically, I've just looked after her thinking she was mine and she's knows I'm not her mother. I want her to stay here with you so she can get to know you and grow up with her father because I know what it's like to grow up without a parent" she continues

"But Belle, you saw the way she was, she didn't even want to come near me, she won't want to stay here!" I argue

"She will Robin, she loves you, she told me she wanted to meet her father a month ago, I've just been waiting for the right time to talk to you about it" she sighs

"Regina, are you okay with this?" I ask

"Of course Robin, I want you to be happy and I want your daughter to be a part of our family" she nods

"I'll go and get her and tell her and then we'll introduce each other okay?" Belle decides

Both Regina and I nod and I can't keep the grin off my face as I watch Belle head out of the kitchen to fetch my daughter...
