Hello my fellow readers!
Sorry the late update!
For those reading Girl On Fire, thank you for your patience!
I kind of have a writers block on it, but I shall be updating it in about a week depending on my mood. Also Rose's true identity will be revealed in the next chapter. I will be skipping Tiny since it wasnt'a favorite episode of mine.

Rumple's POV

"Zila come on love please wake up!" I said to my wife as I gently shook her.

After the car accident I had called 911 and most likely Emma along with her father would be arriving shortly. Zila still didn't open her eyes and I decided to try and heal her shot wound. I wave my hand over her shoulder, my palm glowing purple. However when I sensed the wound wasn't healing. I swore realizing the silver was preventing me from using my magic. I then placed my hand over the small mound protruding from my wife's middle; I breathed a sigh of relief when I sensed the baby's heartbeat. At that moment Emma and her father arrived and they got out of the sheriff's car. Charming ran over to me and he helped lift Zila's body so I held her in my arms.

"How is she?"

"I don't know and I can't heal her wound because that bastard over there shot her with a silver bullet" I replied.

Hook must have heard me because he taunted despite being in pain from being hit by a car. The stranger was being transferred onto a gurney to take to the ambulance.

"Did you see his face? His one true love, gone in an instant, just like Milah" I snarled and I got to my feet.

"Crocodile when you took her from me"

I limped over the pirate and I raised my cane.

"But you took her first" I hissed before throwing my cane forward and smacking him hard in the face. I then straddled his lap and pushed my cane underneath his throat so he couldn't breathe.

"Gold are you insane?!" Emma protested. Then both her and her father grabbed a hold on me so I wouldn't bloody murder the pirate.

"Zila wouldn't want you to do that" David said to me. I simply growled before removing myself from the pirate, knowing he was right. Another ambulance arrived and I watched as the paramedics hurriedly rushed over to Zila and they gently lifted her unresponsive body onto the gurney. One of the paramedics said I could ride with them to the hospital. I thanked him and limped over to the ambulance and climbed inside just as they placed Zila in there.

"Just hang in there love" I whispered to her and I kissed her forehead. I then pulled out my cell phone, Belle, Gabriel, and Maurice would need to be notified that Zila was on her way to the hospital.

A Few Minutes Later.

Still Rumple's POV

Right before we got to the hospital the Zila suddenly had stopped breathing. This got me to panic and I kept demanding what the hell was going on with her, but the paramedics only kept me back as the ambulance stopped. The back doors opened and Zila was then rushed off the ambulance, the paramedic that held me back released me and I quickly got off of the emergency transport. As I got into the hospital lobby it was pure chaos.

"Zila!" I yelled.

"Get him out of here!" Charming yelled.

"Out of my way, Zila!" I yelled.

"Everybody calm down!" Dr. Whale yelled. Gabriel only rolled his eyes at his colleague before he hurried to me. He pulled me way so we could talk privately.

"How is she?"

"We were able to get her breathing again, however the silver in her body isn't responding to any of the treatment we're giving her and we need to do surgery to get the bullet out"

"What about my child?" I asked next.

"The baby is showing signs of distress I need to go and prep for surgery now Rumple"

Gabriel then turned around and hurried off to prepare for surgery.

I only swore as I kicked a wall, I regretted doing so because the pain from the act surged through my foot.

"Rumple!" Belle's voice rang out and I turned around to see my sister-in-law hurry over to me. Her face was tear stained. I limped over to her and hugged her.

"You need to calm down my friend you have to think about your child within you" I told her.

"What's the verdict?" Maurice asked coming to a stop behind his youngest daughter. After Belle pulled away from me I looked to him.

"Zila stopped breathing in the ambulance, she was revived, but the silver bullet isn't allowing anything to work, so they have to do surgery, chances are I might lose both my wife and child"

That made Belle gasp and I quickly caught her because she almost looked like she was about to pass out.

"Easy" I told her.

I then led Belle to the sitting area so she could calm down. Maurice joined us and we all played the waiting game. I ended up falling asleep until Belle shook my shoulder. Gabriel was heading toward us, immediately I stood up. First he hugged his wife and kissed her forehead before he turned to me.

"We managed to get the silver bullet out and Zila is now responding to our medications, the baby is fine and not harmed, however the next twenty-four hours are crucial"

"So she could still die then"

This got Belle to almost pale and Gabriel caught her just time. Once Belle was sat down Gabriel turned to me.

"You're daughter seems to be growing faster than I expected, there was another growth spurt during the operation"

This news didn't surprise me; however I needed to know how far along Zila was into her pregnancy now.

"How far along is she now?" I asked Gabriel.

"From what I examined she's twenty-two weeks, her middle is now showing more"

"Would it be alright if I went to see her before I leave for awhile, I think I'll go mad if I wait around here all night" I asked my brother-in-law.

"Just make it quick" Gabriel answered and I clapped him on the shoulder as a thank you. I made my way out of the waiting room to where Zila's room was. Zila was in the intensive care unit so I had to walk a bit until I found her room. I limped inside and saw my beautiful wife sleeping. She seemed fine; she had an IV in her arms so fluids would be provided for her. Her chest rose up and down as she breathed, my eyes then went to her middle and sure enough, it was bigger like Gabriel said. I then walked over to Zila and then stopped. I bent forward and placed my left hand to her side, while I bent down and kissed her lips. Even though she was unconscious it made me feel better to kiss her. I then pulled away and placed a hand onto her stomach. I bent down and kissed the bump.

"Help your mother heal" I whispered to my daughter. I suddenly felt her kick and this got me to smile. I then turned around and left the room. I got Maurice to take me back to my shop so I could get some rest there. Athena had dropped my car off earlier; since the shop was closer to the hospital I would try and get some sleep here. Rose had closed the shop for the night and when I entered I found a note on the counter. Curious I walked over to the counter and picked up the note.

I'm sorry to hear that Mrs. Gold is in the hospital. But knowing her she'll be just fine in no time, don't stress too much!

-Rose.

I smiled at my employee's thoughtfulness. Lately she had been such a blessing for me, for some reason she reminded me of someone I knew once, but I couldn't think of whom. I tucked the note into my pocket before I walked behind the counter. I saw the chipped teacup and I opened the glass case and pulled it out. As I held it I remembered when Zila dropped it. The look on her face had been priceless, not to mention amusing. I suddenly heard a chime and I perked my head up.

I placed the teacup back into the display case and closed the glass door. I walked from around the counter and made my way towards the front door. I pulled back the blind to see if there was anything outside but saw nothing. When I turned back there was a box on the counter. I had a what Zila called a WTF look and I walked forward, as I came to a stop a familiar voice said.

"Hello Rumple"

I hurriedly turned around to see Cora. Even to this day she looked beautiful; she wore a dark blue dress from our land.

"Well, I expected this was just a matter of time, had hoped you were dead, but hey the disappointment's just part of life" I greeted Cora.

"Aw, the crocodile snaps at the little bird, and after I brought you a gift" Cora responded nodding towards the box behind me.

"Yeah, did you bring the antidote to?"

"Oh, Rumple, it's a peace offering" Cora replied. This woman still had that same fire within her. But I wasn't in the mood for her games.

"And what do you want for this peace offering?" I asked taking a quick look behind me back at the box.

"My daughter, you were so clever to get her to lay the curse so you would come here, you don't need her anymore, let me try to get her back and let us live"

"And what do I get for my troubles?"

"You're son" Cora answered. That got my interest. She looked to the box behind me and I decided it was time to see what was in it. I turned around and pulled the lid the top off. Inside was a white globe and I knew exactly what it was.

"You know what that is of course"

"It'll find him" I then turned to her. "If this one truly is it"

Cora chuckled.

"Oh darling, I have no reason to cheat you"

"Anymore"

"I want you to find another person in this universe who might still love you, after all I'm doing the same"
She then walked closer to me.

"So will you accept my offer of a truce?"

I looked to the globe for a second before I nodded.

"Truce" I said holding my hand out. Cora placed her hand into mine and shook it.

"Let's seal it like we used to" she then came even closer and then her lips met mine.

Later.

Still Rumple's POV

I couldn't believe Cora had the nerve to bloody kiss me like that. I shook it off and managed to get some sleep after she left. It was now early morning and I headed back to the hospital. The lobby was quiet when I entered. Earlier I had used the globe, it worked when you pricked a finger and when your blood fell to the surface it showed a map of a realm. In this case our world without magic, Bae was located in New York, and I had already made reservations for a flight. Zila was still sleeping when I entered her room. Her color looked better and I chose to walk to her bedside. I picked up her left hand and raised it to my lips. My lips touched her soft flesh and as they did Zila suddenly moaned. A smile came to lips as her eyes opened finally.

Zila's POV

After I got shot all I remembered was darkness. I finally had the strength to open my eyes and I saw that I was at the hospital. I saw Rumple standing next to me holding my left hand. He looked relieved and saw he was crying a little.

"Who knew the male Dark One could be so emotional" I teased my mate. Rumple chuckled before he bent down and his lips met with mine. This kiss was brief but I welcomed it all the same. Rumple then informed me everything that happened while I was unconscious or well asleep. Hook apparently got banged up pretty bad, another man who was in the car that hit him was out of surgery. Rumple then explained of how the silver bullet I was shot with nearly killed me, but luckily it didn't. It was then I saw my middle and my eyes went wide.

"Okay she's growing too fast" I told my mate as I sat up.

"Indeed she is, but then again the pregnancy could slow down a bit" Rumple said. I then noticed he was avoiding telling me something through our blood bond.

"Spill mate of mine what is on your mind?"

"I know where Bae is" Rumple confessed and this got me to widen my eyes. "He's in New York and I'm taking Ms. Swan with me, since she is good at finding people, though I hate to leave you here, I fly out today"

"You better get your ass on that plane Rumplestiltskin Night, just because I'm in the hospital doesn't mean you should put your search for Baelfire on hold am I clear?"

"Of course my Shadow Knight" Rumple said as he bent his head back down and his lips met with mine. He gently pushed his tongue into my mouth and I happily accepted it. The French kiss was brief but I enjoyed it all the same.

"Go and get ready for your trip mate, Belle, Gabriel, and Father will look after me"

"Even after almost dying you still possess your fire" Rumple teased. That comment got me to chuckle before my husband bent down once last time and he kissed my mouth.

Rumple's POV

I was grateful Zila was now awake. Belle had come in with some food, which Zila had devoured like a starved animal. My sister-in-law also was shocked to see Zila's baby bump. After I had a shower I climbed up the stairs of the apartment building the Charmings lived. I knocked on the door and waited patiently for the door to open. The door opened to reveal a very tired Emma Swan along with Snow, and David. Henry looked like he just woke up because he still had his pajamas on.

"Gold we all had a long night"

"I'm sorry Ms. Swan but this can't wait you remember that favor you owe me?"

"Yeah" the Savior replied.

"I'm cashing it in"

"It's not a good" she began but I interrupted her.

"You do honor your agreements don't you? I need to find someone so we're leaving today, pack a bag"

"Leaving?" Snow asked now coming to the door.

"Where?" Henry inquired.

"Find someone? Who?"

"My son" I answered the blonde. "It has to be today because every minute I'm here is a minute closer to me to killing that damn pirate for hurting my wife, she's awake and is doing well, and the baby is doing fine, however it's best for all concerned if I leave and you're coming with me, all I ask is that your parents keep an eye on Zila"

"You don't worry about that" David said. "We'll watch her and the baby both"

"I thank you" I told Charming before I focused my attention back to Emma. "We leave at noon, however get some rest first, I can see all of you are exhausted"

"Okay who are you and what have done with the Rumplestiltskin we used to know?" Snow asked not believing her ears.

"Love has changed me dearie, that's all" I answered before I turned around and left the Charmings behind speechless.

Well you can all breathe a sigh of relief!
Zila and the baby are fine!
Even after she nearly dies, Zila's still a smartass XD.
Please review!
