Enchanted Forest

Things had definitely changed after Rumple and I became more active to say it politely. At times I swear I could almost see a different person, perhaps the man he use to be before he became the dark one. I keep it to myself though not wanting to say the wrong thing and make him angry.

I sat in the library looking out the window as the snow began to fall. I loved the snow except for when I had to travel in it. I remember when I was younger I would make snow angels with my friends and make snowmen. Things I deeply cherished from my childhood would probably never happen again.

Just then I hear the door burst open and I turn to see a very angry Rumple walking my way. From what I can recall I haven't done anything wrong. I have kept him fed and the castle clean so is he angry with me or did something else happen. I quickly put the book down and stands as he reaches for me and pulls me into his arm and kisses me.

"For a moment I thought you were angry with me." I say as our lips separate for but a moment.

"No not you dearie but others have grown to make me very angry today. I need to be distracted before I do something I will regret." he tells me and he keeps kissing me.

I knew what he meant. I was the distraction. I was the outlet as he called me. When he was angry was when things became so intense especially in his bed.

By the time we were finished I was about to pass out. Not really sure why but after all he was the only one I had ever been with. I take the sheet and cover myself up and lay on the opposite side of him as he pulls me closer.

"You may have just saved someone's life there." he says with a laugh.

A part of me felt horrible that I allowed him to have me in such ways. I felt helpless at times and I just wanted to cry. I asked for it though, I was the one who kissed him first and apparently to him that kiss granted him access for him to do whatever he wanted to me. I just stayed silent.

"Something wrong?" he asks me.

I don't say a word but nod my head no. He looks at me and rolls me onto my back I guess to get a better view. He looks me up and down for a few moments then he puts his hand on my face. There it was a glimmer of the man he use to be. I didn't know how long it would last until the darkness came back so for the moment it was there I took advantage and pulled him to me and kissed him.

Storybrooke

"You know whenever they do decide to pop up again do you think they will have someone else with them as well?" Emma asks me as we walk down the main road.

"I couldn't tell you, Gold said the first time the diner was destroyed it was just the wicked Queen and now I appear beside her? It doesn't make sense I didn't even know her." I tell her as we keep walking.

"So, are you going to say anything to him?" Emma asks me and I know right of the bat what she is talking about.

"All it would do is worry him, I don't know how he would take it to be honest. For now I am just going to be silent." I tell her as we reach the library.

Oh the memories here I think to myself as I laugh.

"What?" she asks me.

"Nothing, lets just see if we can find anything. Next thing we know another person will pop up with the queen and my twin." I say as we walk inside.

Gold's POV

She didn't say anything at the diner. Just a bug is what Emma said and that it would take some time to get over it. A part of me didn't believe either of them. Dawn knew how to lie very well. Emma was good at keeping secrets as well. Even is she did tell her mother Mary wouldn't say anything either. It would appear that I would be the only one out of the loop.

I walked around the shop to occupy my mind when Regina decided to grace me with her presence.

"What can I do for you now?" I ask her coldly.

"Oh don't be that way with me. It wasn't me who tried to harm her. I was looking for the same thing you were. If these doubles keep popping up we both know that isn't good since as you know their powers match ours." Regina tells me.

"Then what do you want from me?" I ask her.

"Isn't there like some potion or portal we could trap them in?" she asks me.

"I don't know, it would take some time to see if that was even a possibility." I tell her as I walk to the counter.

"Now are you sure you want to take your time and risk the life of your girl out there?" she asks me.

"What do you mean? I would never let any harm come to her." I tell her.

"Which one? Belle or her cousin?" Regina says with a serious face. "Hard decision isn't it? Belle left you just as Dawn returns how convenient?"

"Belle has the right to make her own decisions as does Dawn." I tell her.

"Dawn didn't have a choice, she traded herself for her Belle. Then I captured Belle. Yet you didn't give Dawn back did you?" she asks me with an evil grin. "You the dark one fell for a mortal not once but twice not to mention they were of the same family."

"Get out, you know nothing of what you speak." I tell her as she turns about to walk out of the shop.

"Make sure you take care of the child if she dies." Regina says as she walks out of the room.

The child? I was right Dawn was lying to me.

Dawn/ Nichole's POV

After finding nothing in the library as usual we decided to walk back to Mary's apartment. Just about half way there we see someone standing the middle of the road.

"Who is that?" Emma asks as we walk a little closer.

oh no, it can't be.

"Rumple?" I ask as a burst of energy comes flying my way. I quickly dodge it.

"Wait why did Gold just try to kill you?" Emma yells over to me.

"That isn't Gold. Go get someone get help I can take him." I tell her as I get up.

"What but what about the-" Emma starts.

"Just go, trust me I can take him. I have before." I say as Emma makes a run for it and Rumples copy comes forward.

"Hello there Dearie." Rumple says to me with a smile.

I use my powers and hit him back a couple of feet but he just looks at me and laughs.

"Going to have to do better then that Dearie." he says with an evil laugh.

He walks closer and closer to me until we are within steps on one another.

"You look well, must say you look different from the last time we were together." he says playing with my head.

"I guess I got tired of being the outlet of your frustration." I tell him as I put a shield around me without him noticing.

"Now I never heard you complain in the bedroom. As I remember you were all too willing to be there with me." he says as he stops right before the shield. "You think I am going to harm you?"

"Would explain why you sent energy coming my way." I tell him standing my ground.

"That was for the other girl, you just got in the way." he says as I look over and see Emma with David and Mary.

"Leave her alone!" David yells out to Rumple.

"I have done nothing to harm her." Rumple says as he turns their way.

I let the shield go down thinking I am out of dangers way but to my surprise I feel a blade go through my back into my chest. I let out the loudest scream. I barely turn around as I fall to the ground.

"DAWN!" Emma yells out to me!

The person who just stabbed me disappears with dark mist.

Rumple hardly moves as Emma, David and Mary run past him to my side.

"You tricked her so you could have someone else kill her?!" Emma yells at Rumple.

"I would have never harmed her. She was mine." He says as he barely looks at me.

"Dawn, stay with me we have to get you to a hospital." Mary says looking at me.

I look up and see Rumple is gone but I can feel my body starting to grow cold.

Gold's POV

As I sit behind the counter Ruby runs into my shop quite panicked. She runs over to me barely able to breathe.

"You have to get to the hospital. Dawn was stabbed." Ruby manages to tell me in between breaths.

As I get to the hospital I see Emma with David and Mary in the waiting room.

"What happened?" I ask Emma.

"Your double showed up tried to take her out, by the time I returned he was focused on us but someone came up from behind her and stabbed her in the back." she tells me trying to explain what happened.

"Is she alive? Will she be alright?" I ask her mortified.

"She lost a lot of blood but the doctors say that she should be alright in a couple of days. We were just waiting for them to let us see her." Mary tells me as she stands up.

Then someone from the hospital comes over and talks to Emma. I watch as Emma nods to the doctor then comes to us.

"They say she is stable now, only two people at a time." Emma says.

"Let him go back, we can wait out here." Mary says.

I follow the doctor back to the room and see Dawn laying on the bed with all the IV on her helping her to stay alive. I walk inside and take her hand in mine. It's then I remember the difference in her personality from when we were at the castle and now. She is stronger here, she has to be. I watch as the nurse comes in and hands a form to the doctor.

"What is that?" I ask him.

"The results of her blood work, are you of her relation?" he asks me as he looks up from the paper.

"I am, why is something wrong?" I ask him nervously.

"You need to inform her when she awakes that she need to take it easy or she risks loosing her child prematurely. She is still pretty early in the pregnancy and we are lucky the stab was in her back and not any lower." the doctor says as he walks out of the room.

She's pregnant? A part of me already knew this but blood doesn't lie. She almost died with our child inside of her. I couldn't let her down now yes her powers could protect her to a point but I would make sure this never happened again. I would take care of her and our child.

Ok to be honest I was really debating on wheter or not I wanted her to be pregnant so I hope you all are happy with this part. I will update soon!
