"NO,NO,NO! STOP!" Charming yelled fearfully in his sleep, for the tenth time the past two weeks. It had only waken Snow and the baby up six times so Snow was unaware of the other 4.
"David!" After minutes of shaking and yelling Snow finally got him to wake up.
"Ehugh" Charming groaned as he rolled over
"Charming, this is the Sixth time the past 2 weeks, Can you at least tell me what's troubling you so much you have to wake us up in the middle of the night?" Snow pleaded, But as usual he ignored her question and pretended he had fallen back asleep.
Charming knew his nightmares meant something, especially since he's had the same one at least 8 times, always that same room, same music and then poof Snow and the Baby would appear, she'd mumble something he couldn't hear and then seconds later a dark figure would grab them, always jumping out the window to the left...but he didn't want to worry Snow, not after everything that happened with Zelena a couple of weeks back. So, he sought out help from the one person he knew could at least tell him why he was having the dream, Rumplestiltskin.
X*X*X*X*X*X
"Hey sleepy head, want some breakfast?" Snow asked while flipping the pancakes in the pan
"Uh, I have some errands to run so I was actually going to stop at Granny's while I was out" Charming hated lying to her, but at the same time it wasn't all a lie, he did have an errand to run, just not the type she probably thought.
"Ok, I Guess I'll just save the rest for when Emma and Henry get up" Snow replied
"Yeah, well see you later, love you" Charming kissed her on the forehead, grabbed his jacket and dashed out before she asked anymore questions.
He was on the way to Golds shop when he realized he was pretty hungry and maybe should have eaten those pancakes, so he turned around and headed to Granny's like he told Snow he was going to do, so now he really hadn't lied at all.
After eating a biscuit and drinking some coffee he headed back out and walked to Gold's. He walked inside and didn't see Rumplestiltskin anywhere, weird he thought, he was sure he had seen someone inside just moment before he walked in, but maybe not.
Charming was correct though, Belle had just been in the front of the shop, but only to retrieve some teacups for her and Rumplestiltskin to drink from and then she walked into the back room. " Two teacups, although one appears to have been chipped" She blushed as she thought about the day she had accidentally chipped the cup.
"Ah, well I think a clumsy girl dropped it when I told her a quip" Rumplestiltskin replied, He also blushed a little at the thought of it.
"Well shall we have some tea?" She asked as she handed him his cup.
"I'd love some" Rumplestiltskin replied smiling as big as possible as he began to think about how they were finally married.
"Rumplestiltskin?...hey gold!...Hello?" Charming called from the front of the shop
"Why must everyone interrupt me, can't a guy have some tea with his wife in peace?" Rumplestiltskin said with a very annoyed look on his face
"Rumple,You should go see what he needs. We can always continue this tea party at home later." Belle replied
"Gold? I Could really use your help" Charming was sure now that he heard some one in the back so he called out to them again.
"I suppose I should go, but can I at least get a goodbye kiss?" Rumplestiltskin said to Belle making a face like a little kid would if they were trying to bribe their parents.
"Only if you can promise we can go eat at Granny's tonight" Belle replied and with that he leaned in for a kiss.
Charming finally gave up on anyone coming out so he turned around and walked toward the door, but Just as he was opening it he heard a voice behind him.
"leaving so soon?" Rumplestiltskin emerged from behind the curtain with Belle a few feet behind
"Thought you weren't here, didn't get a reply when I called you so I was going to come back later" He replied.
"I'll leave you two to talk" Belle said to charming and left out the side door
"Well, I'm here now aren't I? Rumplestiltskin snorted back, not very happy he had to be there.
after an awkward moment of silence between the two Charming explained his issues and then waited for Rumplestiltskin to respond.
"A dream you say?" Rumplestiltskin said, beginning to wish he had just stayed in the back room instead of answering to Charming's calls. Maybe then he would be back at home already with Belle, instead of stuck in the Shop listening to Charming go on about his meaningless dream.
"Yes, a horrible dream. I've had it like 8 times and every time this shadowy figure steals my wife and baby, Gold you have to help me. Make it go away or tell me what it means or something!" charming pleaded
Rumplestiltskin's impish giggle began to emerge "Tell you what it means? Now how am I to know what you're dream means, it's your dream, But either way just drink this and the dream will be gone" Still sort of distracted thinking about how he'd rather be with Belle He grabbed the bottle off the shelf to his left and handed it to Charming.
"That's all? Just drink this?" charming sounded confused considering how bothersome the dream had become but he took the bottle and began drinking.
What Rumplestiltskin didn't realize since he was thinking about being at home with Belle was that he had grabbed the wrong potion from the shelf. It turned out the potion he had grabbed was the switch potion, the one Rumplestiltskin had intended on using on Emma if she hadn't had fulfilled her duty as savior.
Charming was just realizing Rumplestiltskin's mistake as the switch began. "whoa Rumple..stiltskin?! This bottle says switch...I think you've given me the wrong one!" Charming yelled as everything slowly began fading in and out...
