*Author's note*

Hello dearies long time no see. Well this request comes from TheAlphaElise who requested my FAVORITE OUAT PAIRING OUTLAW QUEEN. The song above is from Lady and the Tramp 2 and I felt the song was right for them (yeah I know it's mainly about finding love for the first time, but for this story I can see it as a second chance and wanting to make the other person happy and remembering that feeling of Love that they both lost). I really hope I did you good sweetie and sorry it took some time to think of a solid idea (plus I was still fangasming from Crimson Peak on friday) I really hope that this fic is to your liking and this is my FIRST show pairing I haven't done one with the favorite fan pairings of the show, just me/OC's so I PRAY I DID OUTLAW QUEEN FANS PROUD WITH THIS ONE. NO HATES. NO RUDE COMMENTS IF YOU HATE THIS PAIRING JUST LEAVE. I do NOT own LatT, OUAT or the song they belong to DISNEY/ABC and are being used for entertainment purposes ONLY.

I didn't know that I could feel this way

Outlaw Queen Oneshot (RobinxRegina)

_______________________________

As Tinkerbell flew Regina over the skies towards her true love, Regina almost began to wonder if this could really make her happy with finding new happiness. She's been so caught up in revenge she never thought she could ever feel love again.

But somehow in her heart, there was the light of Hope that she could fall in love again.

They landed right before a pub and Tink said.

"In there, Regina lies your true love, look for the man with the Lion tattoo. And once you find him, the love in your life will be restored".

"And you're sure he's the one for me?"

"Pixie dust never lies, especially when it comes to true love. Go to him Regina, and be happy". Tink then shrunk back down to her fairy size and took off flying. Regina looked inside the pub to see a hooded figure of a man baring the Lion tattoo.

Her heart raced and her body shivered with nervousness as she reached for the door, for a split second she thought about retreating because she wanted revenge against Snow.

But another part of her was screaming at her to go in.

And she did.

The pub was lively with people walking around, drinking, dancing and chatting with one another. She soon laid her eyes on the man just sitting there just a few inches away from her. She took a deep breath and slowly walked up towards him.

"Excuse me?" She said gently. The man removed his hood to reveal a very handsome face with short light brown hair, stubble facial hair, and the most beautiful hazel eyes she had ever seen.

"Hello my Lady". He said standing up from his seat and offering it to her. Regina smiled at the manners this man had and the other men that he was with, were shooed off knowing their leader wanted some privacy with the lady. "Now I must ask, what's a beautiful lady such as yourself doing way out here in a pub like this?"

"Oh just—just doing a bit of traveling uhh...."

"Oh pardon me, the name's Robin, Robin Hood at your service".

"Regina". The two took hands and when Robin lifted her hand up to kiss her knuckles, a spark ignited between the two of them.

A spark that the both of them haven't felt in a long time since they've both lost their previous true loves.

*Robin*

I never had this feeling before

She gives me shakes and shivers I can't ignore

And I see that there's more now

Than just running free

*Regina*

I never felt my heart beat so fast

I'm thinking of him first and of myself last

And how happy I want him to be

A couple of weeks pasted and Robin and Regina got a little bit closer with each other. They would take strolls through the forest late at night, Robin would sneak into Regina's castle, (yes he did find out who she was but still loves her for it cause he's bringing her into the Light yay!) or even sometimes just dancing underneath the moonlight out in the woods near a beautiful and calm lake.

Regina and Robin had never felt more alive than when they were together.

*Robin*

It's amazing someone in my life

Just might be loving me

I didn't know that I could feel this way

*Regina*

It's so crazy

Something in my life

Is better than a dream

I didn't know that I could feel this way

One night, Regina got to meet Robin's personal Merry Men as well as his son Roland who took to Regina quite well. Whenever Regina would come visit, Roland's face would light up and he'd run to her almost as if she were his mother.

Like tonight when she visited the Merry Man after 2 months of being with Robin.

She and Robin entered through the forest until they reached the campsite of the Merry Men when Roland took notice of Regina and his father.

"Papa" He ran over towards them and Robin exclaimed.

"Hey buddy, Oh I've missed you pal! We're you good for the boys?"

"I was a very good boy for the boys".

"That's my boy".

"Well I must say I sorta feel left out Roland" teased Regina. Roland held his arms out for the Queen and Regina took him out of his father's arm and embraced the little boy motherly. Holding Roland almost made her tear up because she had always wanted a child especially with Daniel, but ever since he died, she thought she'd never get the chance to be a mother.

But with Robin, she has a chance to be a Mother figure because Roland lost his mother a few years back.

"Regina? Are you alright?" asked Robin.

"Yes, yes I'm fine Robin, really I am".

"You sure?" Roland asked innocently.

"Yes Roland, I'm sure, hey how about I show you a bit more of my magic like I promised?"

"Can I papa? Can I please?" Roland begged.

"Alright but you listen to everything Regina tells you".

"Yay!" cheered Roland. As Regina smiled and softly laughed, she set Roland back down and Roland took her hand and lead away from the campsite but close enough so that his father would be close behind.

Regina and Robin took glances at each other as Roland guided her away from his father.

*Robin*

She make me warm and happy inside

*Regina*

He smiles and I get dizzy and starry eyed

*Both*

All these feelings I have

Have me asking

"It would seem our leader has finally found another Maiden?" Little John teased.

"Oh come off it you lot, besides. I'm not sure she feels the same way about me".

"Really Robin? I've seen the way you both look at each other, even Roland loves her. Besides he needs a mother in his life at some point, sweep her off her feet and tell her how you feel about her, I can guarantee she feels the same way about you". Little John said again as he placed a comforting hand on his leader's/brother's shoulder.

It was then Robin looked to see Regina showing Roland some magic by creating light and growing apples from the trees nearby and sharing them with Roland (NO THEY AREN'T POISONED!!) and as Roland ate one of the apples, she took notice of Robin staring down at her from the campsite.

'Does he feel the same way I do for him? He couldn't be? Could he? After all that I've done? Can this.....Is this what true happiness feels like? I haven't felt anything like this ever since Daniel, and my Heart's been all bent up on Revenge, but now—now I don't even want it. All I care about is Robin'.

*Regina*

Can this be love?

*Robin*

Can this be love?

A few more months pasted, and the Thief and the Queen have been keeping a BIG secret from each other. Acting a little nervous around each other, being teased by the Merry Men and Roland asking if Regina would be his new Mama. Even saying Hello seemed like a problem with them falling so hard for each other.

Finally it was time for Robin to confess his feeling to Regina.

"Regina?"

"Yes Robin?"

"Would you—would you mind coming with me for just a moment?"

"Yes". Robin stood up and held out his hand for Regina to take and as soon as Regina took his hand, an electric sensation crawled up the both of them and hit them straight in the heart.

*Regina*

It's crazy

*Both*

I can hardly speak

Whenever (S)he says hi

Robin lead Regina to a beautiful, secluded area of the forest away from the campsite.

"Wow Robin, this is—this place is beautiful? How come you never showed me this part of the woods before?"

"Because—this was—this was where Marian and I first met long ago, and where we had our wedding".

Regina went silent.

"Oh, I umm....."

"It's okay, it's been hard to come here alone, but now with you, it makes the pain lessen". Robin took Regina's hands with his and held them tightly as he continued, "Regina, these past few months have been the happiest days in my life, I first though there'd be no other girl except Marian, but with you—you make me feel alive again, like you've lifted the darkness from my heart and made me remember what it's like to love again. Me, the boys and Roland enjoy your company, and I—what I would like to say is....."

Regina interrupted him with a kiss.

A passionate kiss filled with love.

Robin wrapped his arms around Regina's waist as he kissed her back with the same love and passion she was giving him. After they separated Regina said.

"I love you too Robin, and if anyone's the light of my heart it's you. I—I've been so bent up on revenge that I never thought I could get my Happy Ending, then you come along and I'm not the Evil Queen, I'm just—me". Robin smiled and stroked her cheek gingerly and said as he stared deeply into her eyes.

"I believe that Love is about second chances, and it seems that the two of us are the other's torch or hope and love for the other. As much as I deserve a second chance at love, you deserve yours as well Regina, and I'm honored to be yours". Regina smiled happily for the first time in forever and the two of them kissed once again.

*Regina*

I didn't know that I could feel

*Robin*

I never dreamed that I could feel

*Regina*

I

*Both*

Didn't know that I could feel

This way

The two souls who had lost love and changed to be who they once were. A man who had a future turned to robbing from the rich to feed the poor, and a woman turned into an Evil Queen hell bent on Revenge.

Now come together to bring back Light into their hearts and love each other as they are now and not who they were in the past.
