First day in, Hades was sure that the uncomfortable silence was going to make this a long eternity. Rumpelstiltskin was mad at him for calling back a contract that HE signed to get him under control. Belle was angry at both of them. (Though why she was mad at Hades, Hades wasn't sure why. He didn't sign any contract for the baby. It wasn't like he was the one that wanted them here. Zeus was making them stay.)

But still, a deal was a deal and he was determined to keep Belle in this place until she gave birth. Then for half a year, the baby was his.

He was just going to have to deal with THEM probably trailing after the baby. And then probably deal with them after they and the baby grew old and died. Life was hard.

He wasn't even allowed to be near his true love; Zelena. Of course not; true love could restart his heart. His true love put Rumple in a cage and manipulated his son into killing himself. That was bound to be a little awkward.

His true love also had a mad crush on Rumple once and was hurt he rejected her. That was bound to be a LOT awkward.

He walked through his throne room. Belle walked behind him while Rumple lagged behind both of them. She didn't want to walk with her husband. She was still angry that he took the darkness back. She was angry that his past caught up with them again and now she was trapped in the underworld for what was probably going to be the rest of her life in one way or another because no real mother would want to leave their baby alone with HIM for six months of a year

He had to admire her silence though. The tension was filling up the whole throne room.

And the way she stormed through with her jaw clenched and her head held high, he almost forgot she was nobility until now. Plenty of nobility walked to the fates he designed for them like that. Like they were unwinding and trying to hold it all in was their last attempt to hold it all together.

"This is where I live, it's where I eat, where I drink, where I relax, where I hold court, where I punish those that deserve it…. where I wish, I could punish others that go tattling to my brother"

He shot the dark one a glare at that one.

"I would appreciate it If you don't waltz in while I'm holding court. I'm very very busy. I must deal with the dead and their complaints…or the complaints I want to listen to. Either way, it passes the time. I'll instead show you to your apartment. I've had a wing designed for you. I think you'll like it, it looks like some of the rooms in your house."

"I don't want to be in a room with him," Belle glared at Rumpelstiltskin too.

"Belle-," Rumple started, "I'm sorry."

"You keep saying that and you make the same decisions over and over and over."

"Because it was the only way to protect you."

"I was leaving town! How is taking the darkness again protecting me?!"

"And I knew that if I didn't take the darkness, there was a chance I would die. Or you could be hurt and I couldn't protect you."

"We SLEPT together and you didn't tell me!"

Hades suddenly liked the silence a whole lot more.

Belle wasn't done, "This is the same thing that happens over and over, we got married and you gave me the dagger as a wedding gift; but it wasn't the dagger, wasn't it? It was a complete fake."

Rumpelstiltskin's temper flared, 'And it's a good thing I did, wasn't it? Because you used it to control me twice."

"I at least had the decency to regret it."

"The first time but that didn't stop the second time, did it?"

"You were going to free yourself from your limitations! Limitations that were there for a reason!"

"Limitations Zelena used for nearly a year and Cora was going to take before her! Limitations that have been used in the past and will continue to be! And you didn't talk to me about it, did you? You threw me out of my home with no money, no way to walk…. you took everything. You are hardly blameless"

"I didn't talk to you? You didn't talk to ME! I sat by your side after Zelena, did you forget that? I begged you to talk to me but you didn't. You had the chance to tell me the dagger was fake, you had chance after chance but you kept silent."

"It was too late then. I was going to…. I was going to give you the dagger. I GAVE you the dagger, I switched it out with the real one but then Hook came into the picture, he blackmailed me. He was going to tell you all about what I'd done. Some hero, right Belle? He lied to you and Emma and everyone just because he wanted to put me under his thumb."

"You'd know about lying and betrayal."

"Yes let's talk about betrayal, shall we? Let's talk about how you moved on in the span of weeks with someone that also has his true love and who was separated from him."

Hades moved in between them, "Okay I'm bored, I didn't sign up to hear you two screaming at each other in heavily accented dialogue about your problems. If you don't want to sleep in the same room then fine. Rumple can sleep with his head on the billiard table for all I care. Preferably while I'm playing."

"I'm going to make you regret all of this," Rumpelstiltskin hissed at him.

"I'm GOING to regret it?" Hades asked incredulously, "I regret it already!"

"Small comfort," Rumpelstiltskin said.

"First thing I'm going to do is show you to your room or….rooms if I have to. The second thing I'm going to do is find you two a marriage counselor. Or twelve. I'm sure there's plenty around here somewhere. Not because I care, because I don't. But because I don't want to have fighting echoing in my halls when I'm trying to do my work. It's bad enough I have to share my home with you."

"Then let us have other homes," Belle said through clenched teeth.

"Ha, what a joke. No, if I'm going to play co-daddy then you two are going to be close. I want the baby safe, not that I care. But if it gets hurt from the agenda having unwashed heathens there, I don't want that. And I think keeping you two close still benefits me so I can keep an eye on you. HE probably has already plotting something. I can't imagine how dangerous it'll be if you two make up and start plotting together."

Belle looked at Rumple and then looked at him, "I want my own room."

"Fine. You'll have a place close to me."

"Hey," Rumple warned

"What did I just say? I don't like the idea of you two plotting!"

"You also said you didn't like the idea of us being separated because of the fighting!" Belle snapped.

"Exactly!" Hades said, "I win in NONE of this."

"Neither do we," Rumpelstiltskin muttered

"That's irrelevant," He turned and started going back another way, "So close to my wing it is, then?" I'll just move the apartment over."

"You can do that?" Belle raised an eyebrow.

"I can do whatever I want down here," he turned to walk, "I'm a god!"

"Oh," Belle started.

"I honestly can't understand how you all keep forgetting that."
