Chapter 10

Daniel woke up a few seconds later. He sat up to see Regina looking at him with worry. "What happened?"

He remembered. "Father. Regina. Baby."

"Regina, is it true?" he asked her.

She smiled. "Yes, dear. You're going to be father. Daniel, I can explain."

"No need. Belle explained it to me," Daniel said.

"She did? What did she say?" asked Regina.

"That it was basically her fault and to not be mad at you."

Regina helped Daniel off the floor.

Regina saw Belle coming towards her. "Sorry, Gina. I know this isn't what you planned."

"It's all right. It is out in the open now. How is Gold?" said Regina.

"Shocked, disappointed, "she replied.

"Thanks again for telling the truth. It took you long enough," said Regina.

Belle hugged her.

"Looks like we entered soap opera land," David said sarcastically.

Emma, Ruby, Tamara and Snow all glared at him.

"I'm just going to go over there," he said pointing to the drink table. "Tough crowd."

Mr. Gold made his way over to Belle, Regina and Daniel.

"Looks like congratulations are in order," said Mr. Gold.

"Gold, I'm sorry. You went through all this trouble," said Regina.

"That makes two of us. Since this is a baby shower, the stuff is yours."

"No, we couldn't take it," said Daniel.

Regina jabbed him in the stomach. "Are you kidding? I'm going to get a baby shower."

Belle jumped in. "Daniel, take it all. It's the least I can do for causing all this trouble."

Belle winked at Regina. She had to back up her friend.

Daniel looked to Gold for help. "Sorry. Our lovely wives have spoken."

"Three against one. How can I refuse such an offer?" Daniel stated.

Daniel and Regina made their way to the gifts and soon everybody was congratulating them. They also teased Daniel for fainting.

Mr. Gold put his arm around Belle. "Dear, why did you lead me to believe you were pregnant?"

"You were so excited and I didn't have the heart to break it," said Belle.

"Wish you would have before I ended up throwing a baby shower for my frenemy over there," said Gold.

Belle chuckled. "You know, just because we don't have one right now doesn't mean we can't try."

Gold arched an eyebrow and smirked. "Really?"

Belle nodded. "I'll ask Bae and Tamara to watch Brittany."

Belle came back and Gold escorted his wife out of the building.
