Chapter 10
At Emma's house
Emma started to on the carrots on the cutting board and Killian started on the shucking the peas sitting at the table. As then David, Snow and baby Neal came in as her father said "Hi everyone do you guys need any help with anything?" Emma looked at her parents as she said "Yeah why don't you put the chicken in the oven and maybe some kind of starch with the dish. Killian and I have the vegies taken care of, so who is coming over" David took care of the chicken as Snow put Neal in the play pen as she said "Oh Belle is coming over, as well as Rumple and Lacey too." Emma dropped her knife as she looked at her mother as she said "Don't tell me that you told Belle that she could come over to dinner. Remember what I told you of what Archie said he doesn't want Belle to push anything with her and Rumple. They need to take it slow, and why is Lacey coming over the way that Henry as well as Regina has told me that Lacey is a floozy girl that wears tight outfits."
"Emma dear you know as much as I do that Belle is supposed to be with Rumple! Besides who says we can't help Rumple get his memories back in some way, and if we're lucky he might fall back in love with Belle and forget all about Lacey." Killian looked at both Emma and Snow as he said "Snow I have to go with Emma. I can't help but feel like this won't end well for us if we push this. Besides if we force Rumple to remember who he is won't that have consequences in itself" David put the chicken in the oven as he turned around to them as he said "That is what I said when I got in the truck. Is Regina coming over" Emma nodded as she said "Yeah and so is Zelena. So this will be the most awkward family dinner yet" as then Henry came into the door as everyone heard him close the door only to hear him say "I'm going up stairs to get ready for the family dinner." Emma smiled as she said "Just make sure you come down here around 7:00 for dinner." Then all of them heard Henry close the door in his room as Emma picked up the knife and continued to cut the carrots.
Snow went up to Emma as she said "So did you tell Regina and Zelena what time to come over" Emma then said "Well I told them to come around 6:30 or 7:00 for dinner. Hopefully Rumple, Belle, and Lacey know" David then said "Well I only asked him if he would come to dinner I didn't know what time to come over." Emma smiled at her father as she said "Don't worry dad I'll call Belle and tell her what time as well as Rumple too." As then put the carrots in the pot then put them on the stove and then walked over to the phone and called Belle first. After a while of calling Belle then she called Rumple as she spoke to him for a while then hung up the phone as she said "Okay they know now let's get this dinner done."
After a few hours put about where Dinner is ready around 6:30 or 7:00 pm
Dinner was done as Emma and Killian got ready so they went upstairs to get ready; as David and Snow had gone back home to their loft to get baby Neal and them ready as well. So they were already ready for the dinner. Henry went to set up the table for the family dinner as Regina wearing a blue dress with a navy blue blazer with Zelena wearing an emerald green dress and baby Robin in a pink dress in her arms came into the house for the dinner. Zelena looked around as she said "I had no idea that Emma like country chic" Regina looked at her oddly as she said "Zelena you've been here before remember" Zelena looked at Regina as she said "Well she didn't really do anything to it did she when she was the Dark One. Anyway who else is coming over for this family dinner?" Henry stopped abruptly as Regina said "Henry, who else is coming over" Henry looked at his other mother as he said "Well Belle is coming over" then Zelena put baby Robin in the play pen as she said "Who else" then Henry said "Grandpa and Lacey".
Regina looked at Henry shocked as she said "Whose idea was that!" Zelena gave off a 'Who do you think it was' look as Snow came in with baby Neal as she said "It was mine, well the Rumple idea not the Lacey thing." Then she put baby Neal in the play pen with baby Robin as Snow walked over to Regina as she said "You and Zelena look really nice" but Regina put her hand on her hip as she said "Snow you know you can't do that! We can't push them together, these things take time you heard what Archie said."
Snow spoke out "Look we all know that Belle and Rumple are supposed to be together and that Lacey person isn't the one for Rumple anyway. So why not invite Rumple to a little family dinner, and not only that but he can get to know Henry again. Since he doesn't remember that much" Regina cut Snow off by saying "He only doesn't remember Belle, he remembers us just fine" Snow then continued "Okay yes he doesn't remember Belle but he needs to be shown that we care for him. That Henry cares about him too." As then Zelena whispered out "They're here" as then a knock at the door came as David said "I got it" then opened the door to reveal Rumple and Lacey. Rumple wearing jeans and a blazer with a shirt but Lacey was wearing a very revealing purple dress that showed off her breasts making it look like they were going to pop out of the dress.
Rumple smiled at David as he said "I know we're early but" David put his hand up as he said "No need everyone is here. Oh Emma and Killian just came down come on in so did Henry. Come on in" David stepped aside as Rumple and Lacey walked in to Emma's house. Henry went up to Rumple as he hugged him when another knock at the door came as David opened it to reveal Belle who was wearing a sweet off white dress with a cream colored sweater while holding a box. Snow came up to Belle as she said "Let me take that" Belle spoke sweetly "It's from Granny's she said that this would be good as a desert. Oh Rumple" Rumple and Lacey looked to see Belle as Lacey said "Who invited the slut!" Everyone looked at Lacey as Emma said "Okay then shall we start eating".
Everyone went to the table as Henry said "Grandpa you get to sit with me, mom sits at the end at the table and next to her will be Killian. Then Belle can sit next to" as then Lacey bumped Belle out of the way as she said "You mean I get to sit next to my honey" as Regina said "Okay no Henry I know that you want Rumple to sit next to you but how about I sit next to you. Lacey you will sit across, than Snow you sit next to her and David you can sit next to Rumple. Zelena you can sit next to me then Emma and Killian will sit where they usually sit." Lacey humph as everyone sat at the dinner table; as Emma and Killian brought all that they made for the dinner for them to eat.
Everyone started to make their plates as Zelena said "So Rumple how have you been?" Rumple looked at Zelena as he said "I've been doing fine. . . . . But you usually don't like me" Zelena looked at him as she said "Well I figured we could start over and be friends unless that wouldn't be fine with you." Rumple smiled kindly as he said "No that is fine, Henry how is school" Henry smiled as he said "It's great". As everyone ate the food Belle was next to say "How is the book going Rumple" Lacey looked at Rumple mad as he said "It's going good so far" then Regina said "What kind of book is it?" Belle said "It was 'Beauty and the Beast' I gave it to Rumple to read. I told him that it might help him remember" Snow smiled as she said "It's a wonderful idea" Emma then said "Well do you like reading it so far Rumple" but Lacey had other plans as she did something under the table to Rumple as he gasped out "Yes I did". Everyone looked at Rumple oddly as Killian said "Uh mate are you okay" as Rumple did a cough then said "Yes I'm fine, I just got distracted" while looking at Lacey as she did a what gesture. As if on cue both Neal and Robin started to cry as Snow said "Zelena and I will be right back, the babies need us" as Snow and Zelena left the table Lacey said "Brats".
David looked at Lacey as he said "What did you just say" as Lacey said "Nothing, so what do you do here Emma" Emma looked at Lacey as she said "I'm the sheriff of this town and so is my dad". Rumple looked at Lacey as he said "Honey I told you what Emma and David do. I even told you what Killian, Regina, and Snow does don't you remember" Lacey just waved her hand as she said "I was just talking to Emma. So Henry have you fuck anyone yet" Regina yelled out "LACEY! May I mind you that we don't swear in this town, so if you don't mind not to say anything like that here or in front of us at any time." But all Lacey did was ignore Regina as she said "Whatever bitch slut." Regina rolled her eyes at Lacey as Killian said "Well how about we talk about something else" as then Belle said "Well I do need some help getting a crib, I was sort of hoping that someone would help me find one." Killian looked at Emma then to Belle as he said "Henry and I could help you. That is if Rumple wants to come with us to help you out" as then Lacey yelled out "No! He's not going anywhere" everyone looked at Lacey as Zelena and Snow came back from taking care of the babies to see that this was going to get worse.
Emma spoke up "Well how about we talk about that later" but Lacey continued "Why are you so fat Belle? Did you eat some kind of balloon or a pig?" Everyone looked at Lacey angry as Belle looked at everyone as she started to have tears in her eyes as she whimpered out "I have to use the bathroom, is that okay Emma" Emma nodded as Belle got out of her seat and went up the stairs. Emma was about to say something as Rumple said "Lacey, Belle is pregnant. She isn't fat, she's been carrying a child and I would really like it if you would stop hurting her by saying those things." Lacey looked at Rumple as she said "Well it's clear that no one wants us here" as then Lacey stood up as she said "Come on Rumple let's go" as she was about to leave the table she looked back at Rumple noticing that he wasn't getting up as she said "Come on Rumple, we're going!" Rumple looked at Emma as he said "I'm so sorry for what happen, and I believe that Lacey and I should be leaving now."
Henry cried out "No don't go" Rumple looked at Henry as he said "I think it's for the best, please tell Belle that I'm sorry for ruining the dinner for her and you guys." As then everyone watched as Lacey and Rumple leave the house as Killian said "Well that was great conversation, and what was up with Lacey. Did it seem like she didn't want Rumple to come with us to help Belle with finding a crib." Emma spoke sadly "No you weren't the only one we all saw it, well I'll go see if Belle is alright" Emma got up from her seat to check on Belle as everyone continued to finish their dinner.
