Chapter Text
Free time was a rare treasure when you worked in the legal system. As a Judge, Juniper had to oversee many cases in a day. Robin didn't have it much easier as a prosecutor- even as energetic as she was, Robin was left tired after a difficult case.
So both of them made sure to have Valentine's day off. This wasn't just any year, either: it would mark the first since they got married.
"Good morning, Robin Woods." Juniper said, relishing being able to say that name out loud.
"Good morning, Juniper Woods," Robin said, giggling lightly. "How is my lovely wife on this lovely morning?"
"I'm doing very well, my dear." Juniper got busy preparing breakfast- for this special day, it would be chocolate pancakes with bananas.
They two of them enjoyed the sweet treat, but given the chocolate drizzled on the pancakes, it didn't take long for their mouths to get messy. Juniper took a napkin and wiped Robin's face clean.
The prosecutor did the same, but in the middle of cleaning Juniper's face, she leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek. As Juniper's face turned bright red, Robin smiled and took another bite of the chocolate pancakes.
For the afternoon, they made a picnic together and went over to the one of the local parks. Sitting on a blanket under a tree, Juniper held up her left hand to the sun. The sunlight caught the colorful wedding ring that Robin had created.
"Did you want to do anything while we're here?" Robin asked. "I'd be d-o-w-n to take a walk, and admire the beautiful nature!"
"I get what you're saying, Robin. But you have a flower to admire right here." With that, Juniper seated herself onto Robin's lap, cuddling up to her.
At first, Robin was surprised, but soon after she put her arms around Juniper's waist, and held her close. Even sitting on the blanket, both girls could see flower bushes in bloom, and the trees dotting the path where other people walked.
"It's already been a year," Juniper said quietly. "But in a way, it almost feels like it's been longer. It's hard to find time to catch your breath when there's always a new case waiting."
"But most people probably couldn't tell when watching you in court!" Robin exclaimed, affectionately bopping Juniper on the nose. "You're the cool-headed judge that everyone admires!"
"Says the fiery prosecutor that everyone wants to be," Juniper countered, tweaking Robin's nose in return. "I can hear you from another courtroom."
In the end, they didn't end up taking a walk, but they enjoyed themselves regardless.
The evening saw Juniper and Robin go to the same restaurant they visited the day they got engaged. After having dinner, they returned to their house, but didn't stay inside- they went to the backyard, into Juniper's garden.
The stars shined brightly in the sky, the air was pleasantly chilly, and the fragrance of the blossoms surrounded them.
"May I have this dance, Juniper?" Robin asked, holding out her hand.
"I would love to, Robin." Juniper grabbed the hand, and placed her other hand on Robin's hip.
This dance had been both an idea they agreed on, as the perfect way to end the day. The two woman waltzed in their ballroom of blossoms, looking each other in the eyes the entire time.
Whatever lay ahead for Robin and Juniper Woods, they would always have days like these, where it was just the two of them.
