Intro: learning their eldest son is sick the Golds head to their son and daughters place to give their boy some much needed TLC
***2 hours later 2:30pm***
Belle and Rumple closed the library and shop early to go visit their sick son
Pulling up outside the building got out took Gideon out of his car seat carrier and placed him in the stroller before walking into the building and towards the elevator and took it up to the second floor. Stepping out of the elevator Belle pushed the strolling down the hall until they came to the apartment.
Knocking on the door first and calling out to him. In side Bae lay curled up on the cold tiles of bathroom floor, after throwing up his lunch and honey tea
"Bae son, its papa"
Hearing His father Bae groans.
She told my parents he thought miserably.
Seconds later he heard the door unlock and heard footsteps and this time he heard his mother Belle
"Bae honey we've come to see how you're faring?" said Belle.
It was then they heard the groan from the bedroom walking up the hallway with Gideon in the stroller the first thing they notice was Bae wasn't in bed, looking around they saw the door ajar and gave each other worried looks. Belle steps back as Rumple steps up to the door and Knocks.
"Bae, son" Rumple whispers.
However, he received no reply, so he pushes the door open further and the pair got the shock of their lives lying curled up on the bathroom floor was their son. Rumple raced over skidding on his knees by his boy and lifted Him into his arms and walking out and over to the bed.
"It's alright Bae Papa's got you" Rumple whispered.
Rumple placed a hand on his son's forehead and felt how hot he was"
"You're feverish Bae," said Rumple
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Belle pull out her mobile to call Dr Frankenstein AKA Dr Whale Storybook's only doctor even if the Curse had broken he was now going back to using his original name of Dr Victor Frankenstein, So While Belle was on the phone to Victor and explained to him what happened. Rumple was trying to get Bae to wake up when he finally did he frowns.
"P…. A…. P…A he said while coughing.
Rumple smiled.
"What are you doing here?" asked Bae
"Can't we come see our boy when he's not feeling well" Rumple asked.
Bae blinked.
"We?" he asked
Before coughing again.
"Your mother and brother"
Bae lifted his head to see his mother who had a frown on her face as she spoke with Victor
He turned when he heard his baby brother start whimpering.
Rumple lifted his young son into his arms and brought him over to Bae who shook his head.
"Pa…
He tried to say only to end in a coughing fit; afterwards he continued what he was trying to say.
…. Pa I don't want Gideon to get sick" he wheezed.
"Its OK son he had his shots" said Rumple then turned to Gideon "be gentle with your brother he's not well"
Meanwhile Belle was still arguing with Victor. However, they argument was noticed by Rumple he set Gideon down by Bae before walking over to his wife.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" he whispered so Victor couldn't hear him.
"Seems the good doc is too busy, and WE have to take Bae to him" she said moodily.
Rumples eyes narrowed
Bae covered his brother with his body as the lamp closes to the boys exploded
"Papa" Bae angrily choked out.
As poor Gideon began crying softly
Rumple turned and looked at what he's done.
"Oh, I'm sorry son is your brother OK?" asked Rumple worriedly before with a wave of his hand the lamp was mended.
"He's fine physically but you scared him" Bae said drily as his mouth felt like sandpaper.
He went to grab the glass on the bedside table only to realise it was empty looking over he saw his father on the phone now ague…. OK more like threatening to turn Dr Frankenstein into a toad or snail if he did not come to Bae right now, as they and even Bae himself knew there was no way Bae could make the trip to the hospital.
Belle smiled and shook her head, then saw the distress look on Bae's face, walking over she notices the empty glass and smiled, taking the glass she stepped into the bathroom to refill the glass, coming back moments later. She helped him sit up and put the pillow he'd been resting on against the headboard then helped Bae sit back against it before handing him the glass.
After taking a gulp he set the now half-empty glass down before picking his brother and cradled him, trying to calm him. He felt a tickle in both his nose and throat and quickly turned away from Gideon to sneeze and cough into his shoulder. Belle left and came back with a tissue box and set it on the bedside table looking down he saw Gideon had gone to sleep, so he handed his brother back to his mother and blew his nose before shivering.
"Do you want another honey tea sweetheart?" she asked
While setting Gideon back in the stroller
Bae nodded then yawned.
"Can I have the left-over soup to?" asked Bae.
"Of course, dear" said Belle.
"Thank you mummy" said Bae
She saw him shiver and grabbed another blanket and placed it over his shoulders. Bae smiled, Belle returned the smile and kissed his forehead. Rumple finally got off the phone and turned to see his eldest son curled against Belle the poor boy looked awful
"Victor will be here in 30 minutes," said Rumple.
"Stay with our boy honey while I re-heat his lunch and make him another cup of honey tea and fill up a bowl and grab a cloth for his forehead" said Belle.
Rumple smiled and took his wife's spot on the bed and wrapped his son in his arms.
"Papa I'm cold" Bae whispered.
Rumple wraps the blanket tighter around his boy and rubbed his back to try and warm him 15 minuets later Belle returns to see her sweet boy dozing against his papa.
"OK my love here is your tea and the rest of your soup"
Rumple helped his son sit up, Belle then placed the tray on his lap Belle suddenly wrinkled her nose as Gideon began crying.
"Hey what's wrong with little brother?" asked Bae
Before taking a spoonful of soup.
"Your brother just needs a change," said Rumple placing a finger under his own nose.
"So glad I can't smell right now"
Belle giggled, and Rumple smiled
"Spare room down the hall now please go change Gideon before I gag," said Bae.
Before getting back to his soup. Belle scooped Gideon up in her arms grabbed the baby bag under the stroller and left the room, when Bae finished the soup he set the tray on the bedside table. Rumple got off the bed and made his way around to the other side and sat on the edge of the bed he felt Bae's forehead, Your still feverish what was the temp you originally had when Emma checked?" asked Rumple grabbing the cloth and dipped it into the cool water before ring it out.
"110," Bae said softly.
Rumple eyes widened and went to grab the thermometer to check if it had gotten any higher or lower coming back moments later he placed the thermometer in his son's mouth and wait until it beeped taking it out he saw it had risen by 2 as Bae's temp was 112 degrees now.
"Lay back son" Rumple whispered, while brushing his sweaty hair back from his face
Bae lay back and let his papa place the cloth on his forehead the first touch of the wet cloth on his forehead made Bae shiver; Rumple took his son's hand and felt it was clammy. Belle returned with a happy Gideon babbling away.
"Glad…. Someone's…. Feeling…." he broke off with a coughing fit.
Bae grimaced his throat hurt from all the coughing. Bae snuggled down as Rumple pulled the covers up around his boy he removed the cloth and kissed Bae's forehead before re dipping the cloth in the water ringing it out and placing it on Bae's forehead again
"Rumple you look worried" said Belle.
"His temps gone up?"
"What was his temp before?" asked Belle
"He told me it was 110, 2 hours ago its now 112"
Belle gasped, and her eyes widened. Just then Gideon began whimpering.
"Oh hey sweetie, it's going to be OK hero, your brother will get better just you wait and see" Belle said trying to calm her youngest son down
"What's taking Frankenstein so long?" Rumple growled.
With great relief they heard the knock Belle shifted Gideon to her right hip and left the room, heading to the front door. When she opened the door she saw Victor on the other side.
"Come in Vic," said Belle.
"Afternoon Mrs. Gold and where is young Mr Gold?" asked Victor.
"Down the hall Vic" said Belle.
Entering the room Victor saw Bae curled against his father the poor boy looked awful he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, before opening his bag.
"Now Bae how did this happen?" asked Victor.
"Got caught in the rainstorm" said Bae before sneezing and then coughing and shivered
"I'm going to listen to your breathing OK, so I'll need you to sit up"
Bae groans as Rumple and Victor help him sit up Victor breath on the stethoscope before slipping it under Bae's shirt, Victor listened to Bae's breathing with a frown Bae coughed and groans.
"What's wrong" asked Victor.
"My head feels heavy and my throats sore my nose it blocked, and I feel hot and cold at the same time"
"He had a temp of 110 at 12:00 I rechecked it and it had come up to 112" said Rumple.
Victor raised and eyebrow and finished his check-up.
"When's the last time you took anything?"
"Emma gave me two Advil at lunch" said Bae.
Victor nodded.
"It seems you have the flu I'm going to proscribe you some day and night tablets plus vicks vapor rub to help clear your chest, but I want you to drink plenty of water and get lots of rest" said Victor
"Been doing that," said Bae leaning over to rest his head on his father's chest.
"Well looks like everything is in order I'll leave you to it" said Victor.
He wrote the proscription and handed it to Belle.
"I'll head to the pharmacy right now anything else I can get you Bae."
"Some ice cream mama please?" asked Bae.
Belle glanced at Victor
He nodded
"OK what flavor would you want"
"Cookie dough please"
"Rumple hon what one would you like?"
"Napoleon"
"Do you know what Emma's fav is?" asked Belle
"Caramel swirl," said Bae before sneezing
"Cole is honey comb"
"Would you like them in cones or cups?" asked Belle.
"Cups would be easier," said Rumple
"Small medium or large?"
"Medium would do"
Belle kissed them both goodbye and pushed the stroller out of the room Victor followed they left the house together Belle waved to Victor as she walked to the store.
Entering the store, she smiled at Sneezey and handed him the proscription while she went and got the vicks vapour rub returning moments later and paid for everything and placed the bag under the stroller before leaving and headed over to the big chill Ice Cream shop"
Walking in she smiled at Elsa.
"Hey Elsa" said Belle entering the shop.
The woman's eyes lit up.
"Good afternoon Mrs. Gold, what can I get you this afternoon"
"Can I get 5 medium ice cream cups one with, cookie dough, another with Napoleon, a 3rd with caramel swirl, a 4th with honey comb and the last one is a triple choc please? As well as 1 small cup with choc chip mint" asked Belle.
"Coming up" said Elsa
"Thanks"
So, Belle took a seat in the booth while she waited for her order a few minutes later Elsa called her and handed her a holder with 5 medium ice creams and the 1 small.
"I've made sure they will not melt," said Elsa
Belle smiled her thanks and left.
****Sheriff's office****
Belle entered the office and saw her daughter in law hard at work.
"The most boring part of any work is paper work"
Emma looked up to see her mother in law and brother in law.
"Belle, Gideon what are you two doing here?" she asked, getting up and making her way over first she hugged Belle and then knelt in front of Gideon and hugged the 1 year old boy.
"To give you a treat and an update on Bae." Said Belle handing Emma her ice cream.
"When we got to your place we found Bae curled up on the bathroom floor so we put him back to bed a few minuets later Bae told us his temp was 110 at lunch after Rumple realised how warm he was so he rechecked it and it had gone up by to so we called Victor and he came listen to Bae's chest and said he had the case of the flu he gave us proscription for some tablets and I grabbed some vicks vapor rub and some ice cream as he wanted ice cream."
"Thanks, so much Belle" said Emma then looked up at the clock to see it was after 3:30
"Oh, shoot Cole's Bus will be here soon," said Emma.
Grabbing up her ice cream cup bag and keys and locking up. Belle followed her out Emma locked up the station and the pair parted ways Emma jumped into her bug and drove off while Belle walked on back to the apartment.
Entering she made her way to the fridge and put Cole's ice cream in the freezer suddenly she heard footsteps and saw Rumple coming down the hall.
"He's asleep"
"OK I'll put the vapor rub and night and day tablets in the cupboard and his ice cream in the freezer," said Belle.
Afterwards the family sat around the table eating their ice cream with Gideon happily babbling away and moving about in the stroller. Suddenly they heard the key in the lock afterwards the door open and in walked Emma with their grandson Cole.
"Grandma Belle, Grandpa Rumple Uncle Gideon" Cole smiled.
Walking over to them and giving them all a hug.
"How's dad?" asked the 16-year-old.
"He's resting right now lad," said Rumple
"Cole sweetie go change and then do your homework," said Emma.
"OK mum"
"Cole darling, I brought you a honeycomb ice cream when I went to get your father myself your uncle grandpa and mother one, so you can have that after dinner OK"
"Thanks grandma" he said before heading up the hallway to his room.
He stopped and peeked in on his father, he smiled when he saw him sound asleep.
"I love you dad get well" Henry whispered before continuing onto his bedroom.

"Rumple should I wake Bae and give him his afternoon tablet and put some vapor rub on him?" asked Emma placing her half-eaten ice cream in the freezer.
"Yes, it might be best," said Rumple.
Emma started making Bae a sandwich, afterwards grabbed the tablets and vapor rub and headed down the hall. For the rest of the afternoon the Golds stayed to help Emma with Bae and Belle helped Henry with his homework, Bae was up and joined his family for dinner around 6. The Golds left after Dinner.
