Chapter Five
Rose sat on her cold bed in the cold room where she was kept.
How long had she been in here now?
Rose had lost track long ago.
She tried looking out the small, dirty window, but could not see anything. She wished someone would clean it for her. She only ever saw two people, the nurse and the eyes of another woman. She could never tell who it was, but she felt like she knew who those eyes belonged to.
Rose spent her days alone with her thoughts.
Dillon, her child was still out there, without her. Tears would always fall from her eyes when she thought about him. She worried about him. Was he safe? She would ask the nurse that every day. But the nurse would just shake her head and tell her to hush-up.
Rose would never give up asking.
She will keep asking until she knew what happened to Dillon or until she took her last breath.
It was another day, what day was it? Rose did not know.
She heard foot steps outside her room and someone unlocking the door.
The nurse was coming to give her more medication.
Rose sat up from her bed, but it was not the nurse. It was a man, holding out his hand for her to take. Like he was some kind of an angel coming to take her way from this place.
"Come with me." He told her.
Rose stood up and looked him in the eyes. Could she trust him?
"Who...who are you?" She asked him.
"I'm a friend of Mr. Gold. I'm here to save you." He told her.
Rose took a step back away from him.
"I know Mr. Gold and I've never seen you around before."
The man smiled at her. "I have my reasons. But you have no reason to be locked up in here. I need you to go find Mr. Gold, and tell him that Regina locked you in here."
"Regina, The mayor?" Rose asked with a confused look.
He nodded his head. "It's very important that you go find Mr. Gold. He will keep you safe."
Rose said nothing, She was not sure still if she could trust this guy.
"Dillon is safe." The man finally told her.
Wide eyes Rose looked at him. "How would you know?"
The man smiled. "I too had lost my child and I am trying to get her back. I know the feeling and the fear you have. It's hard to live so far apart from her. But I know I will have her back soon."
"I'm sorry you lost her."
"Come along. We don't have a lot of time. You need to get out of here and find Mr. Gold."
Rose nodded her head and started to walk past him. She stop at the door-way and looked at him.
"What is your name?" She asked.
The man laughed. "No time for names, no time for names." He told her.
Rose nodded her head and then took off running.
ooooooo
Mr. Gold was in the back of his shop, holding the true love magic he had Charming place in Maleficent, in their land.
His plan was working. Emma had received the true love magic.
He knew the cruse would be broken soon and once he dropped the potion of true love in the wishing well, then magic will be in Storybrooke and nothing and no one would stand in his way.
He would get his son back.
The bell to the shop rang and Mr. Gold cursed himself for not locking that damn door. He had to hide the potion.
Quickly he placed it in his pocket and looked busy.
"Mr. Gold?"
He froze.
That voice, it was like music in his ears.
He shut his eyes before looking at the owner of that voice.
Belle, His Belle. She was dead...He must be dreaming.
Shutting his eyes, he looked away.
"Mr. Gold, are you well?" Rose stood at the doorway to the back room looking at him with a worried look.
Mr. Gold slowly looked at her.
Rose...No.
He grabbed his cane and limped over to her.
"How can this be? I was told you were dead?" He asked her.
Tears filled her eyes as she rushed over to him and hugged him.
"Regina locked me up in the hospital's psychiatric ward." She told him as she wrapped her hands around his neck.
"Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry." Mr. Gold said as he held her close letting the tears run down.
"Dr. Whale told me you were dead. They had a funeral and everything."
Rose began to cry in his chest.
There was so much he wanted to tell her. He felt like a fool for thinking she was dead.
Twice now.
He would never let her out of his sight again.
"Dillon?" Belle asked pulling away from him.
"He is being well taken care of. I have kept a watchful eye on him." He told her.
Rose smiled up at him. "I've been so worried about him." She said.
"You are his mother." Mr. Gold smiled back at her. "Sweetheart, there is something I need to do and having you by my side will mean a lot."
Rose looked at him, confused, and nodded.
Ooooooo
Rose walked behind Mr. Gold, they were walking in the woods.
She did not know what he needed to do out here. But she was sure he had a good reason.
It felt good to be outside. Rose was enjoying the fresh air, her hair blowing in the wind, and the sun shining on her face. After the years of captivity, it all felt great, but then something hit her. It was almost like a strong gust of wind.
Rose stood still as old memories rushed through her head.
Rose...No that was not her name.
"Wait." She said.
Mr. Gold was not stopping, "We're are almost there. It's just up ahead."
Belle looked at him. "Rumpelstiltskin, wait." She started to walk over to him.
Mr. Gold froze.
It's been so long since he heard his name from her lips.
He shut his eyes, before he could turn to look at her, he had to make sure this was not all a dream.
"I remember." Belle now stood right behind as he turned to look at her and tears filled his eyes.
"I love you." She said as she went into his arms and he held her close. "Yes. Yes, and I love you too." Belle began to cry as she held on to him, she never wanted to let go.

Dillon was in the backyard of the house where he now lived, playing catch with himself. He missed his mother so much and wished she could come back to him.
"Dill, dinner will be ready soon." Mrs Robinson said from the back door.
"Okay." Dillon told her.
He really did not like being called Dill, but Mrs Robinson would always call him that.
Dillon threw his ball up in the air but didn't reach out for it and let it fall to the floor a few inches in front of him. Something like a gust of wind hit him and washed over him. He stood still and tears filled his eyes.
"Papa.." He said then took off running out of the yard.
Mrs Robinson stood at the window. She did not try to stop him, she too remembered her other life.
Baelfire ran to Mr. Gold's pawn shop. His papa should be there, but the door was locked so he ran to the door in the back, which was also locked.
Baelfire took off running for Mr. Gold's house hoping he was there.
00000000
Belle stood next to Rumpelstiltskin as he dropped something down a well. Purple smoke started to come out.
"What is that?" She asked him.
"Magic, my love." He told her as he placed his hand on her back.
Belle looked up at him. "Why?" She asked, holding back from yelling.
"We live in a land without magic, and I'm bring it back." He answers her.
"But why? Why do you need magic?" She asked.
Rumpelstiltskin looked at her. "Magic is power." Was all he told her. "Rumple?" Belle crossed her arms stepping away from him.
"I knew coming to this land, I would not have magic. The most powerful magic I had, I had hidden so it would get here safety. I also had added a little magic in a ring, that I had already used to bring Henry to Storybrooke."
"Who?" Belle asked. Rumpelstiltskin kissed her forehead. "There so much I need to fill you in on, But let's get going home."
Arm in arm Belle and Rumpelstiltskin walked back into town as he told her about Emma, the child of Snow White and Prince Charming.
Baelfire was not going to give up looking for his Papa.
He waved his hand in front of his face, moving the purple smoke out of his way.
Magic was now in Storybrooke, he had a bad feeling that his papa had something to do with this.
He was walk down the sidewalk looking all over when he notice him on the other side of the street with his mother.
No, Belle was not his mother.
No,that still was not right to him.
Belle was his mother no matter what.
Tears in his eyes. He ran over to them.
"Mama, Papa!" He yelled out.
"Dillon!" Belle saw her boy running to them and took off running meeting him in the middle.
Baelfire wrapped his arms around her. "Mother I thought you where dead." He cried in her neck as Rumpelstiltskin, limping, made his way too them.
Baelfire looked up at him as Belle let him go.
"Papa." He wrapped his arms around him.
"Oh my boy, my son." Rumpelstiltskin cried holding him.
Belle cried as she watched the two, Father and son together after so long. Rumpelstiltskin then reached out for Belle and she joined the hug.
OOOOOOOO
Rumpelstiltskin got Belle and Baelfire into his house and locked the doors. Then, shutting his eyes, he cast a spell over his home to keep everyone out.
It's been so long sine he cast any big spell and it felt amazing. Magic was something you never forget.
"Why Papa? Why bring the magic back?" Bae asked him.
"I need to keep you and Belle safe." He told his son.
"But we are safe, now that we are all together." Bae told him.
"Magic is power and I need it." Rumpelstiltskin said, trying not to yell at his son.
"But now Regina has her magic back, Papa, nothing good will come of this." Baelfire was upset with his father for bringing magic back.
He had no reason for it.
"We can be happy now. A family! You, me, and Belle." Baelfire told him.
Rumpelstiltskin looked at his son and smiled. He was right, they can be a family now, but he still needed to keep them safe.
"You're right my son. We could be a family." Rumpelstiltskin looked up at Belle.
She smiled at him.
"So could you get rid of magic?" Baelfire asked.
Rumpelstiltskin shook his head. "It's not that easy in this world, boy."
Baelfire looked upset. "Then can you promised that you will not use it for evil? That you will use it only for good?" Belle finally said.
Rumpelstiltskin looked at her for a moment then walked over to where she stood. He placed his hand on her check.
"Sweetheart, I promise" He told her as he bent down to kiss her on the lips. He would not tell Baelfire or Belle that he planed on going to speak to Regina about her lying about Belle's death, twice to him now.
He would get her back. But he would not kill her. No, he will have someone or something kill her for him.
0O0o0o0
Bealifre was not use too living in a big house. But he was happy to be back with his papa.
It was now the next day as he wounder down to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Belle was already in there cooking. "Morning, Mo..." He stop and looked at her. "Morning, Belle." He finally said.
Belle looked at him and smile. "It's funny to call you that. I still see you as my mother." Baelfire sat down at the table as Belle went back making pancakes.
"It's weird hearing you calling me by my name." Belle told him.
"Could I still call you mother, even thoough you are not my mother." He asked her.
Belle wanted to cry. She nodded her head. "I still would like to be your mother and I still want you to be my son."
Baelfire rushed over to her and wrapped his arms around Belle.
"I'm still your son, no-matter what!" He cried.
Belle patted his head and hug him back.
"And I'm still your mother no-matter what."
Rumpelstiltskin stood in the door-way and watched the two.
Baelfire finally had a mother who cared about him.
Belle looked up at Rumpelstiltskin.
"Where are you off too so early?" She asked.
"I have some work to do at the pawn shop."
"Oh, I thought with the curse being broken you would spend the day with us." Belle looked upset that he was leaving them.
"I shall return for lunch. With the curse broken everyone will be looking for their lost things that I have in the pawn shop."
"Okay then. I shall have lunch ready for us all when you get back." Belle smiled as Rumpelstiltskin wrapped his arms around her.
"I'll be back right at noon." He kissed her long and hard on the lips.
"That just gross." Baelfire told them sticking out his tongue at the two of them.
Belle giggled.
Oooooo
Belle walked with Baelfire to Mr. and Mrs. Robinson's home to get his things. Belled had called Mrs. Robinson the night before to let her know that Dillon/Baelfire was well and that they were going to stop by for his things.
Baelfire had told Belle that they did take good care of him, but that it took him some time to get use to them. He missed her and cried every night.
Belle hugged him and ruffled his hair a little. "We are together now my son, I will never leave you again."
"I know."
"Belle!" Someone yelled running across the street.
Belle looked at the man running to her.
"Belle!" He has a smile on his face.
"Thomas!" Belle smiled at her cousin.
"I thought you were dead!" He wrapped his arms around her, lifting her up, and hugged her.
Belle laughed.
"Last I heard about you is that your father made a deal with the dark one and the price was you."
"Yes, and it's a long story." Belle said.
"I'm sure it is." Thomas smiled at her then looked down at Baelfire. "And who is this young man."
"This is Baelfire, my son." Belle put her arm around Baelfire.
"Son?" He asked, a little confused.
"Well, adopted, his father is Rumpelstiltskin." Belle replied.
Wide eyed, Thomas looked at his cousin.
"Thomas, please. We were so close as young kids, I love Rumpelstiltskin." Belle said quickly before he could say anything.
Thomas looked at the boy, who his cousin called her son and smiled at him.
"My wife and I have a bad history with Rumpelstiltskin."
"Wife? Oh Thomas! You're married." Belle said sweetly
"Yes, she's no princess, Ella was an maid to her step-mother and two step-sisters. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her. I guess it's thanks to Rumpelstiltskin for sending Ella to the ball." Thomas told her.
Belle giggled. "I do recall that one cold snowy night. Sitting by the fire, eating a snack. You told me about the girl you would someday marry. That you would not care at all if she lived in mud and was as poor as a mouse."
"Yes, We talked a lot around the fire. Come and meet Ella and my daughter sometime soon. You would love Ella."
"That would be nice. I would very much like to meet her. Would you ever want to meet and talk with Rumpelstiltskin?" She asked.
"It would be hard for Ella, I'm sure. But he is your love, so yes, for you my dear cousin I would." Thomas told her.
"When we get together you can tell me what had happen between you guys."
Thomas nodded to her.
"I better get going, I want to see my father."
"Yes and we were going to get Baelfire's things." Belle told him. "Call me sometime, I'm living with Rumpelstiltskin."
Thomas gave her a weak smile. "I will." He gave her a kiss on the forehead. "I will call you by tomorrow. We have so much to speck about."
Once they parted Belle and Baelfire walked another block to the Robinson's house. Mrs. Robinson was already standing at the front door. She smiled at the two as they walked up to the front door.
"I'm happy that you two are together again." Mrs. Robinson told them.
"Thank you for taking care of him while I was..." Belle stop to think of the best things to say. "While I was gone."
"I will miss you Dillon."
Baelfire smiled at her. "It's Baelfire and sorry if I was a little trouble for you." He laughed.
"You were not that bad." Mrs. Robinson picked up his backpack and handed it him. "Everything is in there."
Baelfire took his backpack. "Thank you."
Mrs Robinson looked at Belle. "You have a good kid."
Belle nodded her head. "I know."
"Take care." Mrs. Robinson said as Belle and Baelfire walked away.
"I want to make a fast stop at the supermarket." Belle told Baelfire walking down the street.
"What are you going to make for lunch?" Baelfire asked.
"I was thinking tuna pasta."
"Sounds good!"
Main street Storybrooke was busy with everyone finding lost love ones and old friends. "Do you think the market is open?" Baelfire asked his mother.
"I sure hope so. If not I could always make something else. Your father really did not have much to make in the house."
Baelfire was about to say something when he saw Moe, Belle's father up ahead.
Belle noticed him also.
"Are you going to talk to him?" He asked.
"He is my father and he was also cursed like the rest of us." She smiled at her son.
Baelfire looked at Moe who had notice them.
"Yea, I think you should talk with him. Want me to stay here?" He asked. Belle shook her head.
"No." She started to walk over to her father with her son at her side.
The first thing Moe did was hug her.
"Oh Belle, I am sorry." He told her.
"Please forgive me for what I did, I was cursed. I would never have been that mean to you, and you know that."
"It's okay papa, you were cursed." She told him.
Moe then looked down at Baelfire. "Does he have family around here?" Moe asked.
"Yes, He has me and his father is back in are life." Belle told him.
"Who is his father." Moe asked her with a worried look.
"It's Rumpelstiltskin." Moe looked up at her.
"Papa, I need you to understand. I love him and he loves me." Belle took his hand and held it.
"Child, it's still hard for me." Moe said shaking his head.
Belle looked down.
"I ran into Thomas and he is willing to meet Rumpelstiltskin. He said he and his wife have bad history and I don't know what it is, but he is willing to meet him for me. Papa please, he is a good man." Belle said looking up at her father.
"I don't want to lose you, but it's going to take some time for me. Please understand."
Belle nodded her head.
"What about Baelfire? Do you want to get to know him even knowing who his father is?" She asked. Baelfire looked up at Moe and waited to see what he will say.
He was a little scared that Belle would lose her father over him and his father and he did not want that. He wanted his mother to have her father in her life.
Moe only smiled. "I would like that very much. I have seen him play baseball and he has a good arm."
Baelfire smiled big and laugh. "Thank you sir."
"Don't call me sir. My daughter is your mother so I am your grandfather."
Baelfire hugged him. "Okay, Grandfather." He had never called anyone Grandfather before and now he had one.
Moe smiled at the boy.
"It's nice hearing that." He laughed as he hugged Baelfire back. "There so much we need to talk about, come over for dinner some time."
"Would Rumpelstiltskin let me come over?" Moe asked.
Belle nodded.
"He would." Belle gave him a kiss on the check.
Before Moe could say anything someone began yelling "ROSE!"
Belle looked over to see who was yelling her Storybrooke name and saw Ruby.
Ruby wrapped her arms around Belle. "Oh Rose! Rose! You're alive!" She cried.
"Yes, Regina had me locked up." Belle told her.
"Why? Well I know you were with Mr. Gold." Ruby said hugging her harder.
"But you're alive and I'm so happy."
"I would love to hear what happened but right now I'm looking for Rumpelstiltskin...Mr. Gold or whatever he is called."
"Why?" Belle asked her friend with an alarming look.
"Beside Emma wanting to murder him, Snow and Charming want to speak with him. We've looked everywhere. He's not at his house or his pawn shop."
"What do you mean not at his pawn shop?" Belle said, starting to get angry.
"He told me that's where he is going today!"
"What?"
"Well we..." Belle could not look at her.
"It's a long story that will have to wait. Right now we need to find him."
Bealfire laugh. "You keep telling everyone later."
Belle looked at her son.
"Where could he be?" Ruby asked.
Belle thought for a moment. "Where is Regina?" She asked.
"We had her locked up so the town people would not kill her." Ruby said.
"Then that's where he is at, we better hurry before he kills her! Father, I'll call you later."
Belle, Ruby and Bealfire both went running down the street to the jail house.
"I hope we won't be too late." Baelfire said.
"He promised he won't do anything evil" Belle reminded him.
o0o0oo0
"You evil, wicked, Queen." Rumpelstiltskin hissed at Regina, who just sat in her cell with a smile on her face.
"What game where you trying to play me? Locking Belle up and telling me she was dead." He smacked his cane on the cell, making Regina jump a bit.
"You also cursed her, giving her my son to raised on her own."
"I had my reasons. I wanted to watch you suffer to have what you loved the most taken away." She smirked.
"It was the most fun I had since this curse took place. But you." She pointed a finger at him. "You knew who Henry's birth mother was. How?" She asked.
Rumpelstiltskin gave her a wicked smile. "Oh I have my ways, dearie."
Regina snicker. "You always do. That's why you found him, so his birth mother, Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter would come to town and take him away." Regina walked over to the bars of her cell and grabbed them. "You thought you could take way my happiness like I did for you."
Rumpelstiltskin kept his wicked smile on his face. "You lied to me. Not once, but twice."
"And you believed me both times, foolish imp."
Rumpelstiltskin smacked his cane on the bars close to Regina, almost smacking her hand.
"I should kill you, right here right now. But I won't. Oh no, I have something much better."
The way he was looking at her scared Regina a little.
"You got them both back, unharmed." She told him thickly.
Rumpelstiltskin laugh. "Yes, I did get them both back. But the thing is, I don't like people messing with the ones I love."
Regina gave him a wicked smiled to hide her fear. "Well that's so sweet of you."
Rumpelstiltskin put a glove on his hand and then pulled out a medallion and held it up for her to see.
Regina's eyes went wide. "Is that?" She looked the cold hard gaze he gave her.
He nodded his head.
"Oh yes. I told Belle that I will NOT do anything evil. But the wraith." He chuckled.
"Well you know." in a flash he grabbed her hand before she could back away, and pulled it thought the cell bars and held the medallion over her hand.
Regina held her breath, watching the medallion and waiting for Rumpelstiltskin to mark her hand.
"STOP! Rumpelstiltskin, Please don't!" Belle yelled as she ran into the room.
Still holding the medallion over Regina's hand, Rumpelstiltskin looked over at her surprised.
"What are you doing here?" He asked her.
"I should be asking you that! You lied to me and you promised!" Belle yelled at him as Ruby and Baelfire ran into the room.
"Papa?" Baelfire looked at him in disbelieved. "You're still the same.." He was about to cry, his father had broken another promise made to him and Belle.
Rumpelstiltskin looked away and pushed Regina back.
"What were going to do to her?" Belle asked him searching his face for the answers.
"This medallion would have taken care of Regina for all of us. The whole town wants her dead and I would be going back on the promised I made, Belle." Rumpelstiltskin told her. Tears filled Belle's eyes but she would not let them fall. Not before she could yell at him.
Snow, Charming and two others who Belle did not know came rushing in.
"What do you think you are doing, Gold?" The young blonde woman asked him.
"I'm taking care of Regina for this whole town." Rumpelstiltskin snapped at her.
"No, She's still my mom!" The young boy yelled.
"Yeah I know she did us all wrong and that she is evil, but she is still my mom."
The boy looked over at the young blonde. "Please, Don't let him." he begged her.
"It's good seeing you are doing well Henry." Rumpelstiltskin told him.
"Yeah, no thanks to you." The blonde woman told him.
Rumpelstiltskin just smiled.
"What is that?" Charming went to grabbed the medallion, but Rumpelstiltskin held it out of reach.
"This is something you do not want to touch with your hands. If you do, well then you would be marked and the Wraith would hunt you down, never giving up tell it has you."
Charming looked at the medallion.
"So you were going mark Regina."
"You are a very smart prince. Snow lucky to have someone as smart as you." Rumpelstiltskin joked.
"Rumple!" Belle began edging towards him.
"This..." A few tears began to fall down her cheeks.
Belle shook her head. "You play with words still." She could not look at him and quickly turned away from him and ran out.
"Belle, wait!" Rumpelstiltskin called out but Belle did not hear him or just ignored him.
"We've got to keep him away from Regina." Snow said walking up to her husband.
"We can't leave them both alone."
"Don't worry about it." Rumpelstiltskin told her as he took a box out of his pocket and put the medallion back in it, then shoved it back in to his pocket. "I won't hurt her...now. Come along son, we need to find your mother." Rumpelstiltskin said walking pass the group and reaching out to his son.
Emma's mouth about drop. "Wait, did Mr. Gold just call Dillon his son and that woman his mother?"
Henry smiled up at his birth mother.
"Dillon is really called Baelfire, he's Rumpelstiltskin lost son and Belle is his true love." He told her. Emma looked at him and then blinked a few times in disbelief.
O0o0o0o
Belle rushed down the street. Not caring where she was going, when she bumped into someone.
"I'm so sorry!" She told who ever it was.
"Belle, are you okay?" It was Thomas.
Belle looked up at him and then fell on to his chest and began to cry.
"Ella, This is my cousin Belle. We need to take her back to our home." Thomas told his wife.
Ella just nodded her head and held on to their baby as Thomas helped Belle walk to their home, which thankfully wasn't far.
It was small, but it was still a nice little place.
Thomas sat Belle down and went to get her some water.
Ella sat next to Belle and handed her a tissue. When Thomas returned he sat on her other side.
"Tell me what happen? When I last saw you, you seemed happy."
Belle whipped her tears away. "It's Rumple. He lied to me." Belle told him.
"The dark one?" Ella said. "He is no good and tricks people." Ella told her. Belle looked at her as new tears filled her eyes.
"How could you love him or even care about him?" She asked Belle.
"I know its weird that I do. When I lived with him in the castle I saw a side of him that he does not show others. There is good in him, he just does not know how to use it." Belle told her. She then began telling them about Rumpelstiltskin going back on the promise he made, and going after Regina.
Ella shook her head and stood up.
"I don't like him. I made a deal with him once, he did not say what the price would be and I thought he would ask for gold once I married Thomas. But at our wedding he wanted the baby I carried." Ella looked over at Alexandra. She went on tell Belle what all happen, how she broke a deal and then lost Thomas in their world.
"But I have Thomas back now, thanks to Emma and I also have little Alexandra.. No good will come to you being with Rumpelstiltskin. Stay with us if you want too. We are like cousins now."
Belle smiled. "Thank you Ella and I'm sorry. I love him to much and Baelfire needs me. I know he is not the best person, but Rumpelstiltskin needs me."
Ella trued away from her. "Then I'm sorry, but I can't be around you knowing you are with him."
Thomas stood up and went to his wife. "Belle is not like him, I've told you so much about her. How she see the good in everyone. "
Ella looked over at her husband. "He wanted our daughter, he took you away from me!"
"I know that, but we are together now and don't forget, if it was not for Rumpelstiltskin sending you to the ball we would have never met." He took Ella's hands and kissed them delicately.
"We still would have, remember, he killed my fairy godmother!"
"Thomas, it's okay. I understand how Ella feels about him. She has her reasons to hate him." Belle smiled at Ella.
"I love him and even if he broke his promised, I still want to be with him. That's why he needs me."
Thomas smiled at his cousin. "Always the brave one."
Belle giggled. "I should go back, I'm sure he is worried about me."
Thomas gave Belle a hug good-bye. "Call me tomorrow. If you need anything, you know where to find me."
"Thank you Thomas, take care." Belle then looked over at Ella, who was looking down at her shoes. "Ella, I do hope we can be friends. " She held out her hand for Ella to take, but Ella just walked out of the room.
"She needs time. I'm sure once you get to know her, you two will be the best of friends." Thomas told Belle.
Belle nodded her head.

"Bae, it's getting late. You better head on home. I'll look around some more." Rumpelstiltskin told his son.
"No, I want to help my mother, it's your fault that she ran off." Baelfire told him. Ashamed, Rumpelstiltskin looked down at his shoes. "I know that. But it's starting to get dark and a little cold out. Take the key and head on home. I'll be there soon with your mother." Rumpelstiltskin said as he handed over the house key.
Baelfire took it. "Find her soon. I'll wait at home, just in-case she shows up there."
Rumpelstiltskin nodded at his son as Barlfire took off running.
"I won't lose her again." Rumpelstiltskin headed for the park to look.
Belle was walking across the park heading back to Rumpelstiltskin's house when she noticed him.
She smiled and rushed over to him.
"Belle!" Rumpelstiltskin stop when he saw her. Belle flew into his arms.
"Belle, oh sweetheart." Rumpelstiltskin held her tight. "I'm sorry. Really I am. I was just so angry at her."
"I know." Belle wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close.
"My love, I never want to lose you again." Rumpelstiltskin buried his nose in her hair.
"Where is Bae?" Belle asked.
"I sent him home. It was getting too dark and cold out." Rumpelstiltskin loved her. She was a great mother to his son and worried about him.
Belle nodded her head. "Yes it is getting colder out. I'm sorry for running off. I was just to mad at you."
"You have every right to be mad at me."
Belle smiled at him.
"Come, before we head home I need to stop at the pawn shop." Rumpelstiltskin told her.
"We better call Bae and let him know, I'm sure he is worried." She said.
"He is, you are his mother."
oooooo
Belle handed Rumpelstiltskin back his cell. "I told him we will be home soon. He told me that he's hungry and that you don't have any food."
Rumpelstiltskin laugh. "I do have food."
"He can't cook." Belle told him.
"Let me get a few more things and we can go feed him." Rumpelstiltskin told her.
Belle took the time then to look around his shop. There where a lot of things but one thing caught her eye.
The chipped tea cup.
Belle picked it up and cried.
Rumpelstiltskin rushed to her side when he heard her.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" He asked her.
"You kept it, you kept the chipped cup." She said cradling the cup in her hands.
Rumpelstiltskin nodded his head. "Yes, it was the only thing that meant something to me." He said as he took the cup out of her hands and set it aside.
"Oh Rumple, I love you." Belle said as she wrap her hands around his neck and kissed his lips. Rumpelstiltskin wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back.
Once they parted Rumpelstiltskin looked Belle in the eyes. "I am not be the best man or the nicest. But I will try to be for you and for Bealfire."
With a smile Belle kissed him.
OOOOOOOO
Life was not really the same for the people of Storybrooke. Sadly, they found out they could not leave the town and did they know how they could go back to their real home.
But life still went on.
OOOOO
Bae stood ready to hit the ball.
"You better start walking back to the dug-out Bae!" Peter, who was known as Berry, yelled to him from the pitchers mound.
"Yeah,keep talking Peter." Baelfire yelled back to his best friend.
"Henry, you better be ready to run to home-base.." Baelfire yelled to Henry who was at first.
Peter threw the ball.
Baelfire hit it.
HOME RUN!
Everyone in the stand began to cheer.
Thomas sat between Belle and Ella as he stood up and cheered.
"He is great !You both have an amazing son." He told Belle and Rumpelstiltskin.
"I know, I could not be any more happier to have him for my son." Belle told her cousin.
Thomas looked over at his wife who was also clapping.
"So what to do you think?" He asked her.
Ella looked at her husband and smile.
"Yes, he is a great ball player." She then looked behind at Snow, Charming, and Emma.
"So is Henry." Ella added.
Emma laugh. "Henry not as good as Baelfire but it's great to watch him out there."
"It's great that the kids still want to play baseball, even if they won't be able to play against another team out of town." Snow White said.
"Yes, but they do pick new teams every month and play a few great games." Belle added.
After the game Rumpelstiltskin, Belle and Baelfire walked to the car.
Like always they went out for ice cream.
"Next week we are picking new teams! I can't wait!" Baelfire told his parents.
"What would you do if you and Peter are on the same team?" Belle asked as Rumpelstiltskin opens the door for her.
Baelfire laughed.
"Then the other team better watch out." he said as he opened the back door and got in.
Belle looked up at Rumpelstiltskin who was holding her door open and looking a bit farther away.
Belle followed his gaze and noticed a car driving away, it was Regina.
"Guess she wanted to see Henry play." She told him.
Rumpelstiltskin nodded his head.
"I think it's kind of sad that she has to hide to watch her son play baseball." She added.
Rumpelstiltskin looked down at her.
"No one trusts her or likes her right now." He told her.
Belle gave Rumpelstiltskin a light kiss on his lips.
"No one likes you or trusts you, but you can still walk around town and sit with the town to watch your son play baseball. But Regina, if she steps out of her home..."
Rumpelstiltskin cut her off.
"The people grabbed their pitchforks and go after her." He joked.
"I was not going to say that. I'm sure in time she would not need to hide."
Belle said sitting down in the seat.
"You have a good heart, you see the good in everyone." He shut the door and went to the driver side and got in.
As they drove to the ice cream shop Belle and Rumpelstiltskin held hands.
They sat next to the window as they ate their ice cream when Miss Gulch walked by.
Belle watched her, but Miss Gulch did not look, she just kept walking by. "I still don't like that woman." Belle told Rumpelstiltskin.
"Nor I, but I'm sure she won't come near us now." Rumpelstiltskin told her.
"No one wants to mess with the Dark One." Baelfire said as he licked his dripping cone.
Both Belle and Rumpelstiltskin laughed.
ooooooooo
That night Belle laid in Rumpelstiltskin arms.
Rumpelstiltskin twirled her hair around his finger.
This was everything that Rumpelstiltskin wanted.
He had his son back and his true love.
"Belle, I have everything that I want. There's nothing more in life that I want." He told her.
Belle smiled. "I'm so happy that you have everything that you want." She told him.
"Is there anything that you want still?" He asked. Belle thought for a moment.
"I have you and I have my son, I have everything I need, but there is one thing that I still want." She answers
"Tell me what it is, love? Just say it and you shall have it with just a snap of my fingers." Rumpelstiltskin told her.
Belle giggled. "You know I don't like magic and the thing I want will not need magic. It's something you and me can do together, alone in the room." Belle said giving him her seductive smile.
"Oh, and what my love will that be?" He asked.
"A little girl." Belle said as Rumpelstiltskin rolled on top of her and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"Sweetheart, that is something I can and will give you."

Hook stood next to Cora.
"It's time, Hook." She said with a wicked smile on her face. Hook looked over at her.
"Had it already been 28 years?"
Cora nodded her head. "It has and my plan has gone so well. Is the ship ready? I would like to leave soon."
"Aye, it's ready and so am I. It's time to skin me a crocodile." Hook held up his hook.
"All in good time, captain." Cora began walking away.
