Intro: The Golds head to the seaside playground for lunch and run into Aurora and Ashley Boyd
Coming upon the playground Rumple parked the car and together they exited, Rumple went to the boot while Belle opened the back door unbuckled Gideon and lefts him into her arms.
Only for Gideon to start crying.
"Gideon mama will get the ball and shawl in a second I only have two hands and your taking up both"
Rumple popped the boot and took out the stroller and set it up.
She then glances at her husband who had both his hands full with the stroller.
"Your papa on the other hand well he's got his hand full to so you're going to have to wait sweetie"
After finishing setting up the stroller Rumple looked up at Belle.
"What's going on sweetheart?" asked Rumple.
When he finished setting up the stroller.
"Gideon's grumbling, I think he wants the ball and shawl, but I got my hands full," said Belle
"Here put him in the stroller" said Rumple.
Who began grabbing the baby bag and placing it in the bottom of the stroller and grabbed the bouncer before closing the boot, walking over Belle set the still crying Gideon in the stroller, before heading back for the ball and shawl with the items in hand she closed the back door then grabbed their take-out bag and closed her door.
Walking over she pulled the canopy out and set the takeout bag on top then placed the shawl over him Gideon babbled and moved his arms and legs happily.
Belle smiled
"Here's the ball darling" said Belle
Gideon gave a happy gurgle as Belle placed it in the stroller with him.
"Oh, someone's a happy boy now aren't you" said Rumple
Coming up behind his wife he reached in and tickled his boys stomach
Gideon just waved his arms about.
Rumple chuckled.
Belle took the handle bar of the stroller and with Rumple free arm around her waist and the bouncer in his other they made their way into the playground.
There was hardly anyone around as the kids were in school, but they did see 2-year-old Phillip jr. with his mother Aurora and Ashley with her daycare kids.
Seeing them Belle smiled.
She then looked up at her husband who also smiled.
"Come on let's go find a table," said Rumple
They found a nice table and chairs just off the side of the playground, Belle pushed the stroller over and took a seat while Rumplestilskin set the bouncer and their lunch on the table he then reached in unbuckled Gideon and lifted him up out of the stroller.
"Honey its getting warm why not take the pants off and just leave Gideon in his onesie" said Belle.
He nodded.
So, Belle removed Gideon's shoes and took the pants off leaving her boy in his cute little brother onesie.
"Should we remove the Bennie as well?" asked Belle.
"Yeah might as well," said Rumble still holding their boy.
So Belle removes the beanie afterwards Rumple puts Gideon in the bouncer and takes a seat in front of his boy, Belle puts the beanie and pants inside the baby bag then takes out her and Rumble lunch and their 2-hot teas she passed Rumple his and then grabbed her own.
She picked up her tea and took a sip
"Hmm still hot" said Belle,
Setting it down she began on her lunch as does Rumple while Gideon lays awake in his bouncer Rumple with his free hand picks up the ball from the stroller and holds it eye level with Gideon's eyes so the he could see it. He then rolled in down his front a few times making Gideon coo happily and moves his arms and legs.
Belle and Rumple chuckled.
Belle reached over and ran her index finger over the sole of Gideon's left foot making the boys foot twitch.
Rumple chuckled again.
They were suddenly interrupted by a voice
"Belle"
The woman turned and saw Aurora.
"Aurora" Belle says happily.
Aurora made her way over to the couple with Phillip Jr. in her arms. Giving the woman a hug and gently holding onto little Phillip's hand.
"Hello PJ, how are you darling boy?" asked Belle.
The boy just reaches out and tires to grab some of her hair, but his mother moves his hand away.
"So how are things with you I know you suffered more than anyone of us over the years"
Belle smiled a small smile.
"Yes, I suppose I have but no matter the storm I have always come out that much stronger and now my life is so much better I have a loving and kind husband in Rumplestilskin…
It was then Aurora noticed Gold.
"Have we met before"
"No, I don't believe so, but you may have heard of my name I was famous for my deals my dear, back in our Old World that is" said Rumple.
"Rumple…. stilskin" says a timid voice
The Golds looked over and saw Ashley Boyd.
"Hello Miss Boyd, how is your daycare and your mummy and me classes going?" asked Rumplestilskin.
"Uh um they are going quite well thank you" she says timidly
"Miss Boyd no need to be so timed I'm no longer the man I was when we first met" he said sincerely.
"Ash he's telling the truth trust me I've known him for 33 years been with him for 5 years and been married to him now for 3 years and trust me I know when he is lying he's being very sincerer like he said he is no longer the man you met he's no longer the dark one in fact he's a savior" said Belle
Meanwhile Aurora was looking between Ashley and the Golds
But before she could ask the question that was on her tongue PJ pointed to Gideon.
"Mama bub" said PJ.
Seeing where the 2-year-old is pointing the Golds turn and smile, Belle lifts Gideon up and into her arms seeing the babe in Belle's arms Aurora's face lit up.
"Oh, wow living in a small-town, secrets don't remain secret for long, so we heard and know what happened to Gideon I'm so happy to see he has returned and that you both got this 2nd chance with your child" said Aurora.
"Thank you" said Rumple.
He turned slightly and caressed Gideon's soft cheek, Ashley was surprised this was defiantly not the same man who made a deal for her firstborn child, so she was seeing a different side to him. She then noticed their lunch still on the table half eaten.
"Well we will let you get back to your lunch Belle, Rumplestilskin, however Belle would you be interested in coming to mummy and me classes think on it and we can catch up some other time and talk about it" said Ashley.
Belle smiled and nodded.
"I'd like that."
So, the family turned and went back to their lunch, Belle placed Gideon in the bouncer and sat down. Rumple also took his seat and got back to his lunch meanwhile Gideon lay in his bouncer looking around it was quite a relaxing day for the Golds. Using his free hand Rumple began tapping Gideon's bouncer lightly making the boy turn his head to Rumple, although they knew Gideon couldn't see him that well as everything was still fuzzy it made them smile.
After they finished their lunch and tea Belle grabbed the rubbish and walked over to the bin and put the rubbish inside turning back she made her way back to her husband and son,
"Hey Belle mind if we sit with you PJ wants to play with Gideon?" asked Aurora.
"Not at all come sit" said Belle happily.
Rumple meanwhile moved Gideon's bouncer around so that he could see everyone, Aurora set her son in her lap.
"PJ this is Gideon you must be gentle with him as he's just a baby ok" said Aurora.
"OK mama" said PJ
"Gideon this is PJ" said Rumple
Introducing his son to the 2-year-old.
Gideon babbled happily waving his arms and moving his legs.
Rumple smiled.
"He's happy to meet you PJ" said Rumple.
PJ reached over and ran his finger over Gideon's hand making the baby coo PJ turn to his mother.
"He like me mummy"
Aurora smiled.
"That he does sweetie" said Aurora
Brushing back the boy's hair from his face
Suddenly Gideon began whimpering PJ dropped Gideon's hand he was playing with and looked up at Belle and Rumple worriedly.
"It's OK PJ, I think Gideon might be a bit hungry still" Belle says kindly.
It was then they heard a rumbling sound.
"Oh, it looks like he is hungry" said Belle.
Lifting him into his arms.
Rumple looked up at Her with a knowing look and Belle nodded.
"OK PJ I'll be back very soon Gideon needs his food ok"
"OK" said the 2-year-old
"Rumple your coat"
"It's in the back-seat sweetheart" Rumple informs her
As he hands her the keys Belle smiles and walks off.
After unlocking the door, she gets into the backseat sets a still crying Gideon into his carrier and slips on Rumple's coat before bringing Gideon into her arms she slips her strap down her shoulder and bring Gideon's mouth to her right nipple and he begins to suckle Belle leans back into the seat and closes her eyes relaxing she had not done that much but she felt so tired.
****15 minutes later****
Saw Belle enter the playground, Golds coat around her shoulders and Gideon in the crook of her arm, she looked around but did not see her husband looking over at the playground structure she spots Rumple playing with PJ and helping Ashley with the kids which surprised the 23-year-old.
"Beside it being a beautiful day what brings you to the playground?" asked Belle
While taking a seat across from Aurora and going through the baby bag finding the cloth she placed the cloth over her shoulder and placed Gideon over her shoulder rubbing and patting his back.
"Well Phillip said he would be on break at 12:30 but PJ was becoming restless while waiting for his dad, so I thought I'd bring him here and wait for Phillip to get off work"
"It's the best way to rid them of the boundless energy young toddler seem to have" replied Belle
"Indeed" said Aurora.
When she heard Gideon burp Belle pulled him away from her shoulder and cradled him in her arms he gave a cute yawn and his eyes drooped.
"Uh seems the little one is getting tired" Aurora observes
Belle just smiles and places Gideon inside the stroller then covers her mouth when a yawn suddenly hits her.
"It seems your son is not the only tired one Belle" said Aurora.
Before Belle could answer another yawn hit her. Rumple took that moment to glance over at his wife to see the tired look on her face.
"OK PJ come down from there please" said Rumple reaching up for the 2-year-old.
PJ reached out for Gold, lifting him up he placed the boy on his hip he then turned to Ashley.
"Will you be alright here Miss Boyd?" asked Rumple.
"Yes, and thank you for your assistance Belle is right you are not the man I first met all those years ago you have changed and I'm glad" said Ashley
Rumple smiled and with a nod turned and walked back to his wife.
"Enjoy the rest of your stay Aurora but I do believe it's time for my family and I return home," said Rumple, while handing PJ back to his mother.
Aurora nodded.
So, the Golds packed away Gideon's bag once everything was done the headed back to the car with Belle pushing Gideon's stroller as they headed out they spot Phillip heading their way.
"Belle?" he asked quite shocked.
He had not seen much of the woman who saved his life since they came to this New World 5 years ago.
Belle smiled.
"Hello Phillip"
The man walked over and hugs Belle pulling back he takes her hand and kisses the back of it then spots Gideon.
"Oh, Belle is that…." He asked unsure.
Belle smiled.
"Yes, this is Gideon he returned to us after the defeat of my... she coughed. ...Mother in law and once the final battle had ended where he was saved by Emma and came back to us as an infant
"So, I'm guessing you both know each other than" said Rumple.
"Oh yes sorry Rumple, Phillip I'd like you to meet my husband Rumplestilskin, Rumple My Love, Meet Prince Phillip he and I go way back we met on my travels…" said Belle.
She saw a flicker of pain in her husband's eyes when she said travels meaning she had met Phillip after he threw her out back when they lived in their old world she grabbed his hand and gave it an affectionate squeeze
"She's being modest in fact she saved my life I would have still been a Yaoguai if had not been for her, well I best not keep my sleeping beauty waiting" he said with a chuckle.
"It's such a beautiful day I hope you enjoy it" Belle calls over her shoulder as she and Rumple head back to their car.
"A day with my wife and son I always enjoy those days" Phillip
"Well enjoy because kids can grow up so fast" said Rumple
Thinking of the lost time with both his sons but he was thankful to get that second chance to rise Gideon he never got to finish with Bae because he lost him for 300 years, and by the time he found him his boy was a grown man.
Coming to the car Belle lifted a sleeping Gideon from the stroller Rumple opened the back door for her then popped the boot and began putting everything inside while Belle placed Gideon inside the car seat carrier and buckling him in.
"Rumple can you pass me his shawl and ball please"
Belle suddenly stopped when she realised she had called what belonged to Bae Gideon's, Rumple saw the look on Belles face and smiled bringing the items over he kissed the side of her temple.
"Don't fret love Bae would want you to refer them as Gideon's because they do BELONG to Gideon now" said Rumple.
Placing first the ball inside then folds the shawl up like before and places it over his sleeping boy and kissing his head before pulling back and closing the door Belle takes off his coat and hands it back, Rumple kisses her but it turns into a yawn for Belle.
Rumple chuckles and pulls back kissing her forehead before opening the passenger side door for her, Belle gets in and he buckles her in, kisses her sweetly and closes the door. By the time he reaches the drivers side Belle is fast asleep. He chucks his coat in the back seat get in straps in closes the door and starts the car and drives off towards their home all the while his beloved's sleep the ride away.
***An hour later***
The family is home curled up on the master bed Belle lying on one side with Gideon next to her. Rumple is lying on the other side of Gideon he had changed from his jeans and put on a lose fitting cotton shorts and unbutton the first three buttons of his shirt. He placed a barrier around Gideon that would not allow he or Belle to roll over onto their boy.
Then curls up beside his boy and closes his eyes having an afternoon nap with his wife and son.
