Intro: the morning following the return of their son

***Friday 12 May 2017***

By the time the sun was up both Belle and Rumple were exhausted from the early morning feeding and changing of their sweet baby boy. Rumple yawned and stretched yet his chest felt lighter and not just because he had his family back his beloved Wife and their bundle of joy.

Blinking his eyes open he knew what that lightness was, Belle's head was not laying on his chest turning to his side he saw she was in fact NOT in bed with him. Pulling back the covers he got out of bed and made his way out of the room and down the hall to check in on Gideon, walking in he makes his way over to the bassinet only to see it empty.

At first a cold chill went down his spine but he shook it off walking out he headed down stairs and into the kitchen, he stopped when he saw his beloved wife her back to him as she began fixing breakfast. She was dressed in a beautiful yellow sundress and yellow flats her lush brown locks hanging lose about her shoulders walking up behind her he slipped his arms about her waist.

Belle sighed and leaned back into Rumples arms.

"Good morning my beauty" he whispered

Before planting a soft kiss under her ear.

"Good morning my savior" Belle softly reply's.

Turning her head and kissing his cheek, before going back to cooking their breakfast.

"How is our little Hero this morning?" he asked.

Looking over his wife's shoulder at their baby boy.

"Oh, he was good had a feed and a change about an hour ago then got a little grumpily when I began cooking breakfast.

"Why don't I take our boy and get him dressed while you finish with breakfast" Rumple offered.

Belle smiled.

"OK Gideon off to papa you go" she said

Handing their boy over to her husband, once the boy was safely in his papa arms he kissed his wife and left heading back upstairs.

Once upstairs he headed for the nursery walking in he made his way over to the dresser opening the drawer he was surprised to see a new onesie that read little brother it wasn't one that Snow gave him and he and Belle have yet to go shopping along with the onesie he saw black tracksuit bottoms with stars printed on them and a matching baby beanie hat he then saw the folded note, reaching in he flipped the note open

Welcome home Gideon

Be well little brother and remember I'm always watching

Love your big brother.

Rumple's eyes filled with tears.

Looking down at his boy he ran his index finger over his cheek.

"You have your first present Gideon and it's from your big brother"

Taking out the onesie, tracksuit bottoms and Beanie he made his way over to the change table placing the clothes down on the side table he then proceeds to undress Gideon and put him in the outfit and placed the beanie hat on his head.

Afterwards Rumple walked over to the bedside table and picks up the photo of Bae, smiling and brings it about 8 inches away from Gideon's face

"What do you say to your brother, Gideon?" he asked the baby.

Gideon just babbles and reaches up, his tiny hand falls right on Bae's face after a moment Rumple sets the photo back down and snags up Gideon's hand and kissing it. Before heading out of the nursery and to the master bedroom.

Entering he gently lay his boy on the pillow in the center of the bed and gathered the extra pillows around him so he would not fall then proceeds to change from his night wear into something unexpected a pair of black fitted jeans a light blue button-down shirt and light grey trench coat after dressing he sat at the end of the bed to put his socks and boots on.

Getting up and turning around he made his way to where his boy lay on the bed and took him into his arms, before head out of the room stopping at the nursery to grab the baby bouncer before making his way down the hall then down the stairs and into the kitchen.

When entering the kitchen, he saw Belle putting the plates down on the table.

"Hmmm something smells delicious."

Belle look up from setting the plates down, but what she saw made her stop and blink seeing the look on his wife's face made Rumple smile.

"OK who are you and what have you done with my husband?" asked Belle.

When she saw he was NOT wearing his traditional 3-piece suit.

Rumple chuckled.

"It's me sweetheart I thought since we are starting our happy beginning and I am no longer a dark one I should try wearing new lighter outfits beside I heard babies like to throw up a lot and well cleaning bills can be murder for suites so here I am your savior"

Belle bit her lip and gave him a once over and felt her heart skip a beat and butterflies flutter in her stomach.

God, he looks good Belle thought.

"So, I assume you like the new look darling?" he asked.

Belle walked over to him and wrapped a hand around the back of his neck and pulled him in for a deep kiss when they pulled back they were smiling.

"I miss the long hair and the leather," she says.

Running her hand though his short silver hair. And casting her eyes over the black fitted jeans.

Rumple laughs yet a tinge of red stains his cheeks

"I'll grow it out and maybe shock this town by going as the master of the dark castle this year for Halloween as long as my little maid comes with" he says.

Belle smiles and looks at her son

"Gideon my handsome hero look, at you"

She gave her husband a confused look upon looking closer at what Gideon was dressed in.

"Rumple…" she asked him.

"I know it's not one of the outfits Snow gave us but I found this with it"

Handing her the note.

Belle took the note opened it and placed a hand over her mouth as tears filled her eyes, she looked up at her husband and gave him a watery smile Rumple just leans in and kissed her tears away.

After a while Belle cleared her throat and turned back to the table.

"Well let's not let the food go to waste" said Belle.

Together they walked over to the table Rumple set the bouncer just off to the side but between the couple before placing Gideon in the bouncer once his boy was secure he walked over to Belle and pulled out her chair for her.

She smiled and kissed him before taking her seat after pushing her in, he took his own across from her and looked down at what she had cooked the plate was full to the brim of a good old fashion Aussie cooked brekkie.

He looked up.

"Are you trying to make me bloated sweetheart?" he asked.

Belle giggled.

"No, my love as you know we don't normally have such a feast in the mornings but this is a special day there is no more darkness the dark one is gone forever and we have our son back and can RAISE him together with all the love that we have, so why not celebrated it" said Belle.

Looking at her husband with such love then at their sweet boy, leaning over she kissed Gideon's forehead.

Rumple smiled picked up her hand and kissed her wedding ring.

Belle blushed at the adoring look in her husband's warm brown eyes.

They talked as they ate their breakfast.

"So, are you going to be opening the shop today?" asked Belle.

"No but I have some wonderful stories for Gideon and a gift for him as well and they are all at the shop" said Rumple smiling

Before reaching over and tickling his stomach.

Gideon let out a happy babble.

"So, what about your day sweetheart?" asked Rumple

"Well now there is no more darkness and we have peace I'm thinking of asking Regina if I could go on maternity leave until Gideon is at least a year old hardly anyone uses the library anyway" said Belle.

"If need be I could supervise them if they need to use the library" said Rumple

Belle smiled.

"OK then while I was thinking after you do your running around we can grab some burgers and fries and head off to the park for lunch" said Rumple.

"Sounds like a plan," said Belle.

So, after breakfast Belle lifted Gideon from the bouncer and placed him in the crock of her right arm and headed upstairs.

Belle made her way down the hall and into the nursery, and placed Gideon in his bassinet before grabbing the baby bag and filling it up with nappies whips and changes of clothing when the bag was semi-full, with only the bottle needing to be placed inside. Belle place the strap on her shoulder and grabbed the baby carrier Rumple would need it was then she realised her hands were full

Turning back to Gideon she smiled down at him.

"OK sweetie mama's hands are full so I'll come back and get you in just a bit OK"

With that she headed out of the nursery down the hall and the 2 sets of stairs.

Walking into the kitchen Belle set everything down by the table.

"Rumple love can you put the stuff in the car while I get Giddy?" asked Belle. Making her way over to the fridge and taking out 5 bottles of formula.

"Of course, sweetheart"

Rumple was making his way over to the table and was gathering everything up when he notices a puff of amber smoke.

"Belle" he whispered urgently.

"What?" she asked.

Turning around to face her husband he nodded towards the table and that's when she too saw the amber smoke.

"Rumple what's going on?" she asked worriedly

Stepping up behind her husband and placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I don't know darling" he told her.

As they both continued watching the smoke yet when it cleared they were both relived and gob smacked to see their son lying in the bouncer.

They were both so stunned by the event that all they could do was stand there and blink still not believing what they had witnessed.

"Did he just…" Belle trailed.

"Use Magic, yes looks like I'm going to have to make magic bracelets for him it would be safer than a potion to bind his magic" said Rumple.

Walking over he picked up the baby bag and baby carrier, he placed the bag on his shoulder, once Rumple had everything he made his way outside after unlocking the car he popped the boot and began placing everything inside.

Meanwhile back inside Belle walked over and picked Gideon up and placed him in her arms before picking up the bouncer and making her way outside walking over towards the car she opened the back door and placed Gideon in his car carrier.

"Rumple will we need the stroller," asked Belle.

Closing the door and getting in behind the wheel.

"I'll get it," said Rumple.

He closes the boot and makes his way back inside coming out moments later stroller under one arm and locked up before making his way over to the car and popped the boot again and placed the stroller inside and once again closed the boot and made his way to the passenger side got in and strapped in.

Belle smiled over at her husband who lent in and kissed her before they both turned and smiled at their baby boy. Turning back around Belle put the car into drive and drove out of the driveway and drove off towards the inner town.
