Chapter 4: Something There
In The Dark Castle
I was dusting when all of a sudden I feel something against my back. "Hello Dearie." Rumple said from behind me. I started to get tense. I could hear his every breath in my ear, and feel the heat come off his body. I wanted to turn around and give him a long kiss, and to put my fingers through his frizy hair. That's when I started to realize that I was falling in love with Rumple. "RRRRumple?" "Yes dearie?" "I..I love you." Then I did exactly what I imagined. I gave him a long and deep kiss. Suddenly I started t feel the pressure of another force. I just realized that Rumple was kissing me back! He did love me as much as I had hoped! Well...maybe. We both slowly ripped our lips apart from each other. "I love you to Belle." Rumple said in a low hushed whisper. Then he put his hands around my waist unsure if his touch was welcomed. I put my own hands over his to let him understand that it was welcomed. Then I pushed my lips against his. He pushed his lips against mine even harder. I then threw my hands in his brown hair. I loved him more than anything in that moment. When the kiss finally ended, he gave me a loving look. "Belle...I understand if you, uh thaught that that was repulsive." "Rumple I love you, honestly. And I didn't think that kissing you was repulsive. I actually, um,...liked it." I said giving him a shy smile. He then gave me a large smile and said "I liked it too." I slowly started to back up towards the wall. When I was fully pressed against the wall Rumple gave me a longer lasting kiss. From the look in his eyes I could see that they were full of love. I loved him more than anything in the whole Enchanted Forest.
Years Later In The Dark Castle
It was three years after Rumple and I had been married. Tonight when Rumple comes home from dealing I would have some amazing and exciting news. All of a sudden I see a ring of purple smoke apear out of nowhere. "Rumple I missed you so much! How did the deal go? Did you get the price you wanted?" I asked quickly. "Ahh my dear Belle, the deal worked out quite finely. I received the goblet I wanted. I hope you weren't all that lonely staying here by yourself." I shok my head no. "I have wonderful news actually Rumple. Today I did some reading and I found out that there's something I can't do now." I said holding back a smile. I started to circle him as he took a seat at the head of the long table in the Great Hall. "Oh, and what is that?" He asked with a worried look on his face. "I'm...I'm pregnant, I can't eat chocolate cake anymore. At least not until the baby's born. " It was silent for a moment then Rumple turned to me and said "Are you sure ?!Am I really going to be a father again?!" Rumple stood up and was turned toface me. "Yes I'm quite sure I'm pregnant. Are you happy?" Rumple then gave me a large hug and a long kiss. "Yes, yes of course I'm happy!" He whispered in my ear.
After The Curse In Storybrooke Later
2010
"Mama, where's Pappa?" A 10 year old Olivia asked me. It was 9 o'clock at night and Rumple still wasn't home. "I don't know sweet heart." I told her. She was in her bed with a thick blanket over her.
On the blanket there was a woman with brown hair, greeny brown eyes, wearing a yellow ball gown. I looked around the room, while I looked I started to see many other things with the woman on them. There was a shelf with a pink castle. On the castle there were windows stitched into the fabric, the woman was looking out of one window. In the opposite window there was another woman with golden hair, purple eyes and a pink ball gown. Next to the castle there was a pink jewelry box. Then there was what looked like a collection of dolls. There was the two women, a women with yellow hair, blue eyes, and a blue ball gown. Another woman with long golden hair, green eyes, and a purple and pink dress. Then finally there was a mermaid with red hair, blue eyes, and green tail.
On another shelf there were books. Underneath the shelf there was a radio.
"Olivia who are those women? Over on your shelf. And who is this woman?" I asked her while pointing to the woman on the blanket. That's Princess Belle. The mermaid is Princess Areal, the one with the pink dress is Princess Aurora, the one with the blue dress is Cinderella, and the girl with the purple dress is Rupunzel the lost princess. Belle is my favorite Disney Princess. My second favorite Disney Princess is Areal. I like her because she sings one of my favorite songs!" I was astonished that I was my daughters favorite princess. "Dose Princess Belle Sing anything?" I asked curiously. Suddenly Olivia started to burst into laughter. "What's so funny?" I asked smiling. "Belle sings Belle!" Now that was a bit odd. "How dose that go?" She looked nervous for a moment then said "Do you promise not to tell papa?" "I promise." I said looking down at her. Then she started to sing.
"Little town its a quite village. Every day like the one before. Little town full of little people waking up to say- Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! There gose the baker with his tray like always same old bread and rolls to sell every morning just the same since the morning that we came to this poor provincial town" I gave her a large smile. I had felt like that back in Avonlea. Well... Not exactly. She continued to sing. "Oh isn't this amazing? It's my favorite part because you'll see here's where she mets prince charming but she won't discover that it's him till chapter three" The song was quite true when it came to my love of books and what the towns people had thaught of me. I loved this song already!
A Few Minutes Later...
"There's something sweet and almost kind, but he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined. And now he's dear and so unsure I wonder why I didn't see it there before?- She glanced this way I Thaught I saw and when we touched she didn't shutter at my paw No it can't be I'll just ignore but she never looked at me that way before." I immediately thaught of Rumple when that part of the song started.
When Olivia finished singing I asked "Who sang the part of When she touched she didn't shutter at my paw?" Olivia smiled, then got up and grabbed a small figure from her shelf. Olivia then handed it to me. He wore a blue coat with yellow lining. He had brown fur, fangs, claws, horns, and an odd nose. "That's Beast. He was the one who sang that part of Something There. I think Pappa is suppose to be him. Your suppose to be Belle. Like from the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast." She said smiling.
She handed me a book with the words Once Upon A Time written on the cover. "Chapter 12:Skin Deep. That's your story. This was how I knew you were alive. I asked Pappa if Skin Deep was true and he had said it was. That's why I was the one who told Emma about you." She said as I flipped through the chapter looking only at the pictures. The image that stuck with me was a picture of my fist kiss. "You read it?" I asked looking over to her. "Every word. I think my favorite part of how you and my dad met was the part about your first kiss. True Love's Kiss." She told me looking down at the picture. I couldn't help but smile. "I love you Olivia." I said giving her a kiss on her forehead. "I love you too Mama." She said giving me a large hug. I smiled and thaught to myself 'what a wonderful family I have. I wonder what will happen in the years to come?'
A.N. Sorry if the love sence was a bit cheesy, it was my first time writing one. I hope you guys like the reference to the book. I had always imagined each chapter of the book to be a name of the episode and the episode's number. I also thaught that the book was split into parts for each season. I'll explain how Olivia ended up getting the book instead of Henry. Another thing that will be explained was how Olivia, Henry, Gold, and Emma saved Belle from the asylum. Please review😃✌🎵
