Belle sat huddled in the corner trying to read her book but glancing up at Rumple ever so often. Then she heard a sound. She jumped up and hurried to him. Rumple was finally moving. She watched hopfully as Rumple's eyes slowly fluttered open. And he slowly sits up.
"RUMPLE YOUR AWAKE!" she shreiked happily and flies in to hug him, "How are you feeling?" she asked concerned. Rumple smiles at Belle. "Belle your here, you've been by my side the whole time? i didn't deserve that you should have just left me here sweet heart!"
"No Rumple, never, I love you, your my Rumple, My beast, the person i love more then anything i'd never leave you!" she scolded him sofly. She was in his arms kissing him. She hugged him tight crying happy tears at seeing him alive. She had been so afraid that he'd give in and die before she would have a chance to tell him what was now on her mind and in her heart.
"As much as you are awake you still need to rest, come on lets get you to your house so you can lay down someplace more comfortable!" she suggested. But he shook his head "i have no idea how long i've been out but i'm starving, and want to eat first and a long very tall glass of water!"
Belle slowly helped him up, and staid with him as he started walking to gain his feet back. She helped lead him to his house, where she scrambled around fixing a small bowl of soup for him knowing it was best to reintroduce food to him gradually until she knew that he could handle it, he had been in a coma for almost a week, he was bound to be hungry and weak!
She led him to the table and set the soup in front of him "Remember RUmple take it slowly we don't want you to get sick!" Rumple started trying to feed himself but found himself to tired and weak.
Belle sighed and led Rumple to bed where she tucked him in, and went and grabbed the bowl, she then gently spoon fed him the soup until the stuff was gone. This kissing the man's cheek she watched him fall asleep.
She curled up beside Rumple and slept soundly beside him, loving the feel of being beside the man she loved for the first time in so long. She would stay and take care of him, nobody would be allowed to come visit him or anything not even for emergency unless she said so. She would make sure he gained his strength back and this time no matter what Rumple did she was not going to leave him again.
everything may not be forgotten and forgiven but she was committing herself to stay with him for the rest of her life. Technically she was still his wife. And for now on she was going to honor that until one of them died. She had nearly lost Rumple reminding her that she couldn't live her life without him reminded her that she truly did love him.
She would never ever give up on Rumple again. For now on no matter how much he failed he would stay and help him, show him better ways to deal with it, she loved Rumple and this time she was going to prove it.
With this promise that she now promised herself she slipped into sleep beside him.
"I love you so much Rumple!" she murmured softly! She smiled as she rested beside him getting up every so often to make him drink more soup and water and to help him to the bathroom. She kept a watch on him through out the night sleeping only in snatches as she tried her best to care and take care of the man she loved! She suddenly stood up and removed the ring from her purse that Rumple had given her so long ago and placed it back on her finger, She was his wife and was back in his life for good as long as Rumple still wanted her around.z
That aweful thought filled her mind, what if he didn't want her, she had been so mean and selfish and had not taken the time to understand him or what he had just recently gone through. She had selfishly and cruly thrown him out of her life and world and had tried to forget him had tried to replace him with WIll. Had betrayed him several times had told him she loved him only to leave him when he needed her the most.
What if he told her that he didn't need nor want her any longer what if he made her leave as soon as he got strong again? tear struck her eyes as she looked down at him as the thought cut her deep.
She set her mind she would still do her best to help him and maybe she can somehow apoligize for how she acted and maybe she can earn his affection and love back, and earn back his trust in her. Maybe he will still want her around. Maybe if she was lucky he hadn't given up on her completely.
It was her only chance she had to try and do what she could to make sure that he knew that for now on she was completely on his side wither he was right or wrong and that she would have his back and support him no matter what! that she would be there for her husband!
