The 12 Mishaps to Christmas
Mishap One: Eggnogs on Me:
The bell on the door to Granny's Diner rings as the door opens to the Gold family leaving after having a delicious burger lunch. They go over to the stroller that waited for them.
"Oh, can you believe it Rumple this will be Gideons first Christmas." Belle says as she lifts the giggling little baby boy to put him in his stroller.
This actually would be the whole families first Christmas in Storybrooke now that for over a year they had not been bouncing back and forth between here and the enchanted forest and no incidence with any villains. It wasn't until the 10th of December that they finally decided that they would start to do things for the upcoming holiday. The whole town on the other hand was completely decorated come the second afternoon of the month. Now it was the 14th and they still hadn't done anything yet.
"Yes, sweetheart but what are we going to do? We are down to 12 days until Christmas." He says as they walk to the little picket fence gate.
"Well I was talking with Granny while you went to change Gideon and she gave me her recipe on eggnog. So, I'll go out shopping with our little man for the ingredients and should have it ready for you when you come home."
"Then I will see you then." He pecks her check with a kiss before they start to head to their different locations.
The kitchen was all prepared with the ingredients lining the counter. Belle clapped her hands together in anticipation. "Well Gideon are you going to help momma in the kitchen." She says looking down at her 1 year old in his little rolling bouncy chair giggling away. "Papa is going to be home in 30 minutes which gives me enough time to make it and have it chilled for him." Just as she grabs an egg, she smelled an all too familiar smell. She looks down to see her giggling child looking up to her. She sets the egg back down saying "Alright you off to the changing table;" she grabs Gideon and proceeds upstairs.
After taking care of Gideon both went back to the kitchen where Belle is stirring all the ingredients together in a plastic red bowl. She wipes her hand off on a hand towel saying "I do believe we are done. Now all we have to do is put it in the fridge." Grabbing the bowl, she just lifts it off the counter when the front door opens.
"Belle?" Rumple states "Can you help me I have one too many bags here." She puts the bowl down on top of the towel rushing to help him.
"Why do you have so many bags Rumple?" She asks as she takes two bags from him before he closes the door.
"Well some are groceries and decorations, others are presents."
"Oh?" She states as she opens one of her bags to see what's inside. Rumple quickly takes the bag from her and holds both of her arms down at her side.
"Not until Christmas dearest" saying as he looks at her and see's the curiosity in her eyes before looking down at her lips. They start to lean into each other about to kiss until there was a loud clatter in the kitchen. Both look to each other than hurry to the kitchen. They enter to see a giggling Gideon covered in eggnog and the red bowl on top of his head.
"So much for the eggnog."
