Emma followed the guard through the dark hollows of the mines to a prison of some sort.
"Well hello there deary" a creaky voice called from the cell
"Gold" Emma said coldly
"I've come to make a deal."
"Yes, yes I know why you're here" the imp said
"You want to wake your father from his comma."
"Yes." Rumplestilskin threw himself against the bars of his cage.
"All magic comes with a price!" The imp said smiling creepily
"I know, name your price"
"A favor I guess that would make three now" the imp sneered
"Help me Gold or I swear to God!"
"Alright, alright!" The imp rummaged through his tattered pockets until he produced a vial.
"One drop of this shall wake him." Rumplestilskin said holding it out to her. Emma took the vial
"Thank you."
"Remember dearie you owe me a favor." Emma nodded before leaving vial in hand she raced back to the palace.
There was a knock at his study's door.
"Come in" he called he expected it to be Snow, or even one of his knights not a crying Emma holding her clearly pregnant belly
"Emma?" James cried in alarm
"He's dead, I'm pregnant and he's dead!" Emma sobbed James held Emma tightly as she sobbed into his chest
"It'll be alright baby you'll see." James soothed rubbing her back.
"I'm naming him H-Henry. Henry David" Emma cried
"It's a nice name baby," James told her
"Please wake up Daddy, come back to me please!" Emma cried James looked at his daughter
"What was that baby?"
Emma slowed her pace as she entered her parent's room Doc was there
"Any change?" Emma asked, Doc looked sadly at the princess
"None, your Highness I'm sorry" Emma nodded
"Thank you Doc," she said as the old dwarf left, the moment he was gone Emma rushed to her father's side. Uncorking the vile she tipped it so that a single drop fell into her father's mouth
"Please wake up Daddy, come back to me please!" She begged as tears streamed down her face for a moment nothing happened suddenly James's eyes fluttered open
"Daddy? Oh my God Daddy!" Emma cried hugging him
"Emma?" James said hoarsely
"Emma what's going on in here?"
"Snow" Snow's eye got wide
"J-James!" Snow rushed forward their grandson at her heels
"Grandpa!" Henry ran nearly tackling his grandfather Emma was so happy she didn't scold Henry about being careful.
"Henry, my brave boy" James held his grandson close pressing a kiss to Emma's forehead then Henry's then kissing Snow's lips James held his family in his arms there was hugging and kissing and many tears of joy shed between the royals as they clung to one another celebrating the return of there beloved husband, father, and grandfather.
Meanwhile while the Charmings were celebrating their reunion Rumplestilskin sat in the darkest corner of his cell contemplating what he wanted from Emma Swan. For his son Baelfire to return to him? The imp shook his head he wanted Balefire's return to be on his son's own terms. Her first born? No Henry wasn't a baby and to tell the truth the boy irked him something terrible for unexplained reasons. Straw and a spinning wheel? But what would he do with the gold once he spun it?
"What do I want?" Rumple muttered
"How about a job?" Rumplestilskin's head snapped up Regina stood in the door way
"What do you want?" He sneered
"I've come to make a deal."
"Have you now? Well I'm sorry dearie I don't make deals with you anymore." The imp spat
"I thought you'd say that" Regina said
"So I brought a little... motivation. Bring her in." She said to one of her knights who left and returned with a hooded figure. Regina shoved the hood off the figure to reveal a frightened Belle.
"Belle?" Rumplestilskin threw himself against the bars of his cage reaching out for his true love
"Rump!" Belle rushed forward she was almost to him when she hit the end of her chains it was then Rumplestilskin realized she was shackled at the wrists.
"Let her go!" The imp cried
"I'll let her go once I get what I want!" Regina spat
"I'm so sorry" Belle sobbed
"This is all my fault Rump I'm so sorry!" Belle sobbed hanging her head
"Belle look at me" he said tears streamed down her face as she looked at him
"None of this is your fault you hear me? It's going to be ok" Belle nodded
"What do you want?" Rumplestilskin asked Regina
"To destroy Emma's Swan's happiness you get me leverage over her and her family you get Belle."
"Rump don't! Please don't do this!" Belle sobbed
"I'll do it" Rumplestilskin said ignoring Belle's cries he couldn't look at her it would break his heart.
"Excellent" Regina said retreating and taking Belle with her
"Rump! RUMP!" Belle screamed as she was led away now he dared meet her gaze
"Listen to me Belle, everything will be alright! It's going to be ok Belle you'll see! I love you Belle!" He yelled after her retreating form once she was gone Rumplestilskin sunk down into his dark corner once more he now knew what he wanted for Emma Swan, his freedom.
YAY James woke up! Belle and Rumplestilskin reunited (kinda) at long last yay! He's not my favorite character but he has a heart (it's three sizes too small but you know whatever) and he REALLY loves Belle please reveiw!
