As days went on things seemed to be getting better, and settle into a routine. Henry was getting along with Neal quite well, and Neal was actually staying put in Storybrooke. He made quick friends with Archie, and Archie offered him a place to stay so Neal was officially moving to town for good. Gold was keeping a close watch on Neal, but he was also trying to keep Emma close because he was afraid that he was going to lose her. The thing was that there was only so much Gold could do with out Emma catching on to his jealousy. That night Henry was having dinner with Neal at Granny's while Gold and Emma were at home watching a movie together quietly. Emma was leaning into Gold while he sat there with his arm around her.
Emma shifted herself so that she was facing Gold, and she just looked at him smiling.

"What?" Gold asked

"Why have we been having so much sex?" Emma asked bluntly

"Um. Are you complaining?" Gold asked shocked

"No I am just curious I mean we had a pretty great sex life before and now that Neal has been around we've had an insane sex life. No complaints here I just don't want doing it because a certain someone is jealous or trying to claim his territory." Emma explained

"Emma I love you, and I know you love me can't that be the reason for all of this?" Gold asked

"It would if it were someone else other than you. I do love you but you have some serious issues with women. I am not going to leave you for Neal, yes we have a son together. Gold you and me, we have a life together and that is better than anything. You have given me and Henry a life and a home, we both love you." Emma said and kissed him sweetly

"I love you too Emma." Gold said

Emma smiled and moved even more so that she was straddling him now, and kissing him passionately. Gold slipped Emma's shirt off her head and tossed it off to the side, and Emma could not believe how much stamina this man had all the time. It was quite impressive. Emma undid his tie, and unbutton his shirt and got it off him so they were skin to skin. They were both breathing heavy when Gold moved so he was pinning Emma down to the couch, she could better feel the bulge in his pants. Gold undid her jeans and pulled them down she was just laying there in her underwear while he was taking his pants off. They continued for a while and were happy in pure bliss with each other.

Henry got home about 8:30 and he was tired from the night out, after dinner Neal took him to a movie. So when he got back he said goodbye to Neal and went straight to his bedroom for sleep. Emma was standing by the door talking to Neal while Gold went to make sure Henry got to bed okay.

"Thank you Neal for taking him out, looks like he had fun." Emma said

"Anytime yeah we did it was pretty good. He sure can eat, and during the movie he is the talker." Neal laughed

"Yeah he can't sit still a lot of the time, but I think he gets that from you always talking." Emma smiled

"Yeah well I'll see you tomorrow Emma alright? Night." Neal said as he left

Emma went upstairs to check on Henry and he was already in bed waiting for Emma to say goodnight. She then went into her bedroom where Gold was standing there changing for bed. He looked at her and smiled as she went into the bathroom to get ready for bed herself. When she came back out Gold was already laying in bed with one arm over his eyes, and the other draped across his stomach. Emma smiled at him and walked over to her side of the bed and got under the blankets with him. Feeling the bed move under her weight Gold looked over at Emma and gave her a smile.

"So tonight was fun. We should do that more often." Emma said

"What? Have sex in the living room?" Gold asked

"Yes." Emma laughed

"Well dear I promise we can do more of that in the future." He kissed her cheek

"Good. And I had a little talk with Neal and I could tell he's really liking being with Henry. I think it's doing him tons of good really. I'm supposed to go to lunch with him tomorrow, and I kind of forgot to mention it till now." Emma said

"Alright. I want to get angry and yell about you hiding it but I imagine that is the reason you hid it was because I would react in a bad not so pleasant matter." Gold said

"Yes. I love you and there is nothing for you to worry about by me going to lunch with him. He's a friend now, and we have a son together I think I owe it to Henry to act civil." Emma said

They kissed, and laid down together and just talked for a while until Emma fell into a peaceful sleep. Gold watched her sleep in his arms for a while until sleep came over him.

The next morning Gold woke up to an empty bed, with nothing but a note on the pillow of his girlfriend. He picked it up and read it with a smile.

'hey sorry I left so early but had to stop at the store so Henry had some snacks for his party today in school.
I will stop by the shop later. Love you.
Emma'

Gold smiled at the note then put it down, and then went to get ready for the day. Once he got the shop he was getting ready to open up when he saw Neal and Emma in the distance talking. Neal was touching Emma's arm and smiling just as big as she was at whatever they were talking about. Gold's smile left his face as he watched his girlfriend talk to her ex-boyfriend, and he stayed there watching them enjoy each others company until he had to force himself to look away. He went into his store to get to work, only finding it extremely difficult to concentrate on his work. Emma meant everything to him and the thought of losing her was heart breaking. Neal was the father of her child, and her first love. Gold distracted himself by focusing on a gift he was getting ready for Henry, it was going to be his Christmas present this year. It was a pocket watch that Henry had found very interesting the shop one day, and Gold was restoring it for him.

The day went on and lunch with Neal had come and gone when Emma showed up at Gold's shop. He was standing behind the glass case and he looked when Emma walked in to see her smiling. She walked over to the counter and gave him a kiss, but he was sort of tense which she sensed and she pulled away and looked at him concerned.

"Hey babe what's wrong?" Emma asked

"Nothing it's just been a long day. Everything is fine." Gold lied because he did not want to start a fight with Emma over nothing

"Well Henry is with my parents tonight, and I was thinking maybe we could do a repeat performance of the other night." Emma said seductively

"As nice as that sounds Emma I have to work late tonight. I'm really sorry I just can't tonight." Gold said stepping away from Emma

"Oh well I can stay here with you if you want, maybe get some dinner from Granny's it will be fun." Emma suggested

"I don't think you'll have much fun here Emma. I got behind in some inventory so I have to get everything up to date, I'll try to get home as soon as I can." Gold said

"Well if you're sure, maybe I could go to dinner with my parents and Henry after all." Emma thought out loud

"Yeah I'm sure go have fun one of should right? I'll be home as soon as possible." Gold said

"Okay well Henry is staying the night with my parents since they are taking him out shopping tomorrow for Christmas gifts." Emma explained

"Oh right okay well I will see you later." Gold said just trying to get her out

"Okay well I love you." Emma said

"Yeah. You too." Gold said and gave her a less than enthusiastic kiss on the cheek.

Emma just looked at him weirdly, and then she walked out of his shop not sure on what just happened. After a while Gold got a bit hungry and so he called Granny's to order something to get delivered. Belle was working at the diner now since she was released from the hospital where Regina had her hidden. When she first got out and the curse broke she went to Gold but he told her that Emma was the women he chose to be with. She accepted that and was nothing but kind to Emma every time they saw each other. Gold waited for his order and just continued to work on his gift to Henry until he heard the bell to his shop ring. Belle walked in holding a back of food, just smiling at him. She handed him the food, and he handed her the money which she accepted with a smile.

"Thank you Belle." Gold said

"Anytime Rumple. I saw Emma at Granny's with David Mary, and Henry." Belle said

"Yeah she decided to have dinner with her family tonight. I had to stay here and work late tonight." Gold said

"Oh well I will get out of your way. If you need to talk I'm here to listen." Belle said nicely

"I saw Emma and Neal talking today, and for a moment I saw everything we had together slipping away. Even thought it was just a simple conversation I just don't want her to realize she made a mistake and chose the wrong man." Gold said sadly

"I don't think Emma would leave you, she loves you too much I can see it when she looks at you." Belle reassured him

"I know she does, and I love her that is why this is so hard. I didn't have to work late I just didn't want to get into an argument with her if it was nothing." Gold explained

"So you just let her walk away?" Belle asked

"That probably was not the best idea. I just was not ready to face her yet, I had to think about it." Gold said

"Well I suggest you go home and wait for her, and talk to her about everything." Belle said

"Thanks Belle." Gold said

Belle was hugging Gold close to him, and he was doing the same thing. Now that him and Belle wer not a couple she was his closet friend because other than Emma she knew him really well. Gold heard the door to the shop open and then heard the voice of Neal.

"Oh sorry did I interrupt something?" Neal said

Gold pulled away from Belle and thanked her again for the food and she quickly left.

"What can I do for you Mr. Cassidy?" Gold asked leaning on his can heavily

"I was just looking for Emma she left her sweater in my car. I was just going to give it back." Neal said simply

"Emma is at Granny's with Henry and her parents tonight." Gold said

"Oh well thanks I'll just head over there and give it to her. Have a good night." Neal said leaving

Neal left the shop quickly, and Gold just stood there thinking about the night he had just had. Gold decided to listen to Belle and head home to surprise Emma and to talk to her about what he feeling.

When Gold was about to lock up the shop for the night he looked down the street and saw two people kissing on the sidewalk. He glanced again and saw clear as day that it was Emma and Neal.
