chapter one
After Rumplestilskin left her in his library Belle smiled before picking out one book she wanted to start reading that night , before walking out of the room wanting to finsh her dusting she had left behind when she followed Rumplestilskin to his library. Belle walks to the main hallyway where she was dusting when Rumplestilskin left and went back to her dusting .
Rumplestilskin enter's the tower he kept his work station he used to make his potion's and pulls out a scroll he had gained though his latest deal and places it down on the work space and slowly open's it up before getting angry after seeing it had been written in a langauge he didn't understand. Once Belle had finished dusting she walked into the kitchen to get Rumplestilskin his afternoon tea ready.
After Belle had finished making Rumplestilskin his tea , she headed up towards his tower carrying the tray of tea and few little sweets along with the book she had picked out earlier in the day, Belle then looked at the door leading up to the tower as she got closer to it , in her mind she was hoping he hadn't locked himself away up there again, the last time he had locked himself away in his tower it was for a whole month. Belle stood out side the door before gently kicking at it with her right foot as her hands were full with the tray . Then the door swung open letting belle have access to the tower.
Rumplestilskin was looking over a book when Belle had entered the tower carrying the tray of tea ," just put the tray down over there and don't touch anything " he said not looking at her as she put the tray down and started to pour out both their tea's for them before asking him " so while i was cleaning the other day i came across some small clothing , almost as if their were for a child's i was wonder to it belong to a son or was it yours when you were a small child ? " Belle asked before walking over with Rumplestilskin's tea and placing it down just off to the right of him.
" There was .. there was a son , i lost him " Rumplestilskin said picking up his tea and taking a sip from it . Belle took a sip from her own tea before say " i'm so sorry Rumplestilskin " then she took a seat in a near by chair he condured up for her when they would take their tea in his work studio. Rumplestilskin looks over to Belle and says " it's quite alright "
Belle nods her head to him before asking " so what are you doing up here anyways " . Rumplestilskin smiles a bit before picking up the sweet Belle had put on the side of his tea cup's plate before replying with " Trying to decode this scroll i gained in one of my more recent deals ". Belle smiles before getting up and walking over to Rumplestilskin " do you think i could have a look ? " Belle asked as she was trying to look over Rumplestilskin's shoulder.
Rumplestilskin shrugs a bit before letting Belle look over the scroll , Belle looked at the scroll before looking at Rumplestilskin and saying " that is written in chinese Rumplestilskin" . Rumplestilskin looks at Belle with a suprised look on his face before asking her " you can read this ? " to which Belle nods her head with a huge smile on her face.
