**This is for 23a. It's a little based on our roleplay, except Belle's daughter Lucy is around 2 years old in this. Just a cute little one-shot. Hope you enjoy it **

Belle smiled as she got Lucy ready for the day. She dressed her in a pretty sundress and did her hair up in curly pigtails. Lucy giggled and pressed her chubby palms to her mommy's face.

"All set for the beach, sweetheart?"

"Yes, Mama." Lucy's eyes twinkled and she jumped into Belle's arms.

Belle carried her little girl to the front door and kissed Rumpel. "Have a good day at the shop, sweetheart."

Lucy smiled and said. "I look pwetty."

Rumpel nodded and kissed her cheek. "You look very beautiful, darling."

"Bye bye, Papa."

OUATOUAT

Lucy giggled and stomped her feet in the water. Belle smiled watching her from the towel.

"Mama swim!"

Belle smiled and went in the water to join her. "Wow, the water is so warm."

Lucy reached down and picked up some wet sand into her hands and put it on her mother's leg.

Belle laughed. "What are you doing, sweetheart?"

"Painting. Mama pwetty."

After playing in the water and splashing each other, they sat down on the dry sand. Lucy had her little shovel and was digging in the sand.

"Having fun, sweetheart?"

Lucy nodded and poured sand into her bucket.

OUATOUAT

Belle and Lucy met Rumpel and Henry at Granny's. Rumpel and Henry had just finished up at the shop and decided to get some ice cream to finish off their day.

"How was work?" Belle settled Lucy in the booster seat beside her, while Rumpel and Henry sat across from them.

"Great! Grandpa is starting to teach me magic. Since I'm a product of true love, I have magic just like my mom." Henry beamed proudly.

"Wow, that's great Henry!"

"How was the beach?" Rumpel asked.

"Very nice. We splashed in the water and build sand castles. Lucy had a ball!"

"A bawwl!" Lucy clapped her hands.

Belle smiled. "Maybe Storybrooke will have a ball one day and I can take you, Lucy."

Two bowls of ice cream came, Belle and Lucy shared strawberry and Rumpel and Henry shared chocolate. By the end Lucy's face and hands were a sticky mess. Belle washed her up and walked home with Rumpel. Henry went home to Emma and Bae.
