With a last stitch of the spots, Carlos held up the small Dalmatian looking dog coat up looking it over before looked down at his Mom who's leash was tied to the table. She was still growling. Picking her up glad that the muzzle was there he put the coat on her before fixing the bows she had managed to half get off.
"There… hm… something's missing," Carlos looked over at Evie who was pouring some fish food over the bowl her mom was in. "Evie, what do you think?"
"What?" Evie looked over before she paused in thought. "Red booties, some red stones on them."
"Hmm, yeah, that would be awesome." Pulling out a measuring tape he checked over her paw, writing down the measurements. "Do you know when our parents are coming back?"
"Well, they said they're in a meeting and would be out when they're done so… maybe in a little while?"
"Maybe," Carlos started on the little dog booties. "Do you think we'll be able to get home soon?"
"I'm not sure," Evie sighed. "Do you think they'll change her into something else?"
"Why?"
"Carlos, fish don't live that long," Evie looked into the bowl. "Don't worry mom, I won't let you die… uh, can you hear me?"
Looking over as he heard sigh Carlos gave her a sad smile before going back to make little booties for his mom and in the back of his mind he had an idea for the vest leash.
Once Gil was finally better the trio decided to wander around the castle. Uma led the way stop here and there checking into the rooms. Most of the rooms were locked so they left them alone. No telling what could be inside an evil castle.
Harry was right behind her holding onto Gil's hand just in case his boyfriend got dizzy or need to stay balanced. Alright, he just wanted to hold his hand but he wasn't telling anyone that. Pulling Gil along they made it to a kitchen.
"Oh," Harry moved closer to the table where food was set. "I do feel a bit hungry."
"I'm full," Gil smiled. "My dad keeps feeding every time he checks on me or leaves to do whatever."
"We better stock up just in case," Uma opened some cabinets. "Come on, let's hide a few things in our rooms."
Ben's head hurt like someone had decided to use it as a punching bag. Slowly opening his eyes he could hear bickering somewhere off in what might have been another room. Slowly opening his eyes Ben noticed he was in some sort of large room.
It didn't look like one of his.
Carefully standing Ben shook his head clearing it a little before walking to the door. It was opened and he could hear two voices. Walking out he saw a woman and a man there.
"And what do you think would have happened?"
"Well, I'd have my son back and none of this would have happened."
"You should know you can't change the past!"
"Excuse me" Ben spoke up. "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting, but I don't know where I am."
The two turned to look at him. The woman cleared her throat smiling. "Hello, I'm Belle and this is Rumple. We brought you here because of someone… cast a spell on you."
"Oh, here comes the blame!"
"You took him from where ever his home is and dropped in the middle of the forest! The Enchanted Forest along with everyone else! How are we supposed to get back to Storybrooke?!"
"Storybrooke isn't technically our home!"
"I don't want to interrupt again," Ben smiled a bit. "But did you say the Enchanted Forest?"
"Yes," they both said.
"Oh, well, then I'm not too far from home," Ben nodded standing up straight. "My parents' castle isn't too far. I should be able to get home before sunset."
"Castle?" Rumple frowned. "There is no castle near by or that you can get to by sunset."
"I know which way it is. I will be fine on my own," Ben smiled a bit. "Thank you for looking after me while I was sleep."
"Wait,
"Ben," Belle looked over the boy for a long moment. "Um, this might sound odd, but can you tell me who your parents are?"
"My parents? Sure," Smiling Ben turned back to them. "My parents are Belle and Beast."
"Harry, stop," Gil whispered while trying not to let out a giggle that kept escaping here in there as he pushed against Harry. The Pirate didn't even budge but continued to work on the new hickey he just given Gil. "Harry, come on, anyone can walk in,"
"Mm," Was the only answer Harry gave out kissed up to behind Gil's ear before pressing his nose against the other's hair. "We haven't been alone in a while,"
"I know," Gil finally let out an giggle when Harry nibbled his ear, this time pulling away so he could look at his boyfriend. "Stop, we're supposed to waiting for Uma,"
"She's seen it before,"
"Yeah, but," There was a turn of the door knob making Gil pushing Harry a bit further away so the other wasn't too close as it opened all the way to show his other dad. "Hi, Dad,"
"Hi Gil," Gaston smiled before nodding at the other boy. "Harry."
"I thought you were going hunting,"
"I am," Gaston held up a bow, some arrows, a hunting knife and the items looked a bit smaller than the ones he often used. "I thought you'd like to learn how since you're feeling better,"
"Yes!" Gil jumped off of Harry's lap so fast the pirate almost fell off the chair he was on. "Are we going now?!"
"As soon as you're ready,"
"I'm ready!" Gil grabbed the bow, arrows and the knife before rushing back to Harry giving him a quick kiss before running out the door, "I'll see you later, Harry!"
"What?" Harry sounded after the door closed. "What.. happened…?"
A few minutes later Uma walked in. "What's wrong with you?"
"A certain part of my body."
"So, you're say that in your Realm," Belle started as she and Rumple sat across from Ben as they all had a cup of tea, "That you're our son,"
"Yes," Ben smiled. "I didn't know there were more realms besides our own. It's wonderful to meet you both and I hope I'm not imposing or anything, however, may I stay here until I can find away home?"
"Yes," They both Answered as they both stood up the second Ben did.
"Um," Ben pointed to the doors. "I'm just going to take a walk. Clear my mind,"
"Stick to the garden," Rumple spoke."
"I will, thank you," Ben turned to leave but he could feel them both following. Nodding to himself he kept walking. "... Would you like to join me?"
"Oh, well, if you want us to" Belle smiled hurrying to his side. "We have an amazing garden, along with other things on the grounds, don't we Rumple?"
"Indeed, we also have an amazing library."
"You need to see the library,"
"The study as well,"
"Yes, the study."
Ben smiled as he walked listening as they continued to tell him about each and every room in the castle. He also noticed they never seemed to leave his side. It was strange to be with different versions of his parents, however, he was going to make the best of it until he could get home.
