Rumplestiltskin slipped out of the bed the next day before Belle awoke, kissing her forehead before he got up. "Love you," he felt Belle whisper as she snuggled closer into the bed. He smiled, and then he went to go and do his self-appointed job. He was going to spoil his family, because they deserved it… He'd been such an ass. Not only that, but she felt like she couldn't tell him… But no more of that. She forgave him, and they were going to be happy again. He'd make sure of it.

So he went out to shop, every store opening once he flashed them his cards. He bought bag after bag, until he was quite sure that both baby and his wife would be well cared for. Carefully, Rumple limped home, Dove having gone ahead to bring all the gifts in with Jaymi's help.

Rumplestiltskin hummed, paying Jaymi the obligatory ten bucks that it'd cost him to help. He even threw in an extra five, for helping Belle when she felt like she couldn't go to him. "Thanks, Jay." he murmured, looking at the boy. Jaymi smiled. "No problem, Uncle Rum." he said cheerfully, and then he left with Dove to get to school.

When he heard footsteps on the stairs, he smiled to himself. "I'm in the living room," he called before Belle could even ask.

He could feel her smiling behind him a few moments later, and so he turned, kissing her in greeting. "Good morning beautiful," he smiled, and then awkwardly bent to kiss her stomach. "Good morning, peanut." he added.

"Our baby is not a peanut. I'm allergic to peanuts, Rumple." she retorted, laughing. "And I'm pretty sure this baby won't kill me."
"I'll ask you that again when the babe is older." he winked, making her laugh again. He noticed then that she held something in her hands, and he reached for it.

She evaded his hands, laughing. "I was going to give you this present before," she told him. "But now that you know…" she giggled a little.

"I would still love it." he told her, kissing her mouth gently. "And I have presents for you." he added.

Belle looked helplessly around him to see the tree. "You're going to spoil me," Belle said, grinning even against her will. He kissed her mouth again. "Does it help that half of it's for the baby?" he asked helpfully.

"No! Baby, he's not even born yet! Or she." she laughed.

"Either way. She or he will be well cared for." Rumple said, lifting his head in defiance. Belle rolled her eyes.

"I love you." they told each other, and Belle laughed.
