It wasn't long before word began to spread though the people of Storybrooke that Rumpelstiltskin and Belle had been blessed with a little girl who seemed to be this beacon of light. Whatever she went, she seemed to bring this sense of joy and love that had the townspeople wanting nothing more to hold and love her.

Soon a whole month had passed and Belle was even opening up again to Rumpelstiltskin who would use any opportunity he had to hold their daughter and be with her. She would often wake up to hear their daughter lightly crying from her nursery next to her room, only to find by the time she made it to the room, her daughter would was being held gently in her father embrace as he would sit in the rocking chair in the room, using his voice to stop her fussing.

Belle would either leave the room to head back to bed trying to catch up on her sleep she seemed to always be missing now, or sometimes she would walk into the room and just stand beside him watching their daughter. Seeing Rumpelstiltskin so warm and loving was reminding her of the man she fell in love with and while he still had his moments, it was clear that he was indeed trying to both a better husband and a father than he ever had been. The first step was when he once again handed her the dagger after proving without a shadow of a doubt that it truly was the real one and not a fake like it had been before.

So the first month passed with nothing out of the ordinary happening and life for the golds soon began to return to normal with Rumpelstiltskin working in his shop while Belle would run the library, their daughter being traded back and forth depending on who's day would be less hectic.

However, it seemed fate had another reason why the town of Storybrooke couldn't be normal forever when first word came that Emma was pregnant and the town began to prepare for the new child of their saviour and the pirate she had fallen in love with. Belle was sitting in the library, her daughter resting in her carrier, thinking of a possible baby shower gift she could give to Emma and Hook when she heard the bell above the door to the library being open and her friend The Blue Fairy walking in, a book in her hands.

"Good morning Belle," began The Blue Fairy.
"Morning," replied Belle as she looked up and smiled at her friend.
"So how's motherhood going?" asked Blue.
"Pretty good so far," replied Belle glancing over at her sleeping daughter. "Little Rosy is such a peaceful child. She's hardly that fussy."
"That's good," stated Blue moving to look at the child who she had to admit looked like every bit a princess. "How's Rumpelstiltskin handing it?"
"Great actually," began Belle her eyes shining with happiness. "Rosy already has him wrapped around her tiny fingers."

Belle let out a small yarn still not quite used to the late night snacks and waking up that Blue turned to look at her and smiled.

"Belle, why don't you take the afternoon off and get some sleep?" asked Blue.
"I would but Rumple out collecting rent right now and I need to feed Rosalinda in a bit," stated Belle.
"Well if you want I could look after her for you and drop her off at the pawn shop when your husband gets back. I can even look after the library for you if you'd like."
"No, I couldn't ask you to do that," protested Belle.
"Yes, you could," stated Blue. "I insist."
"Are you sure," asked Belle the idea of a nap sounding more and more appealing as the conversation continued.
"Positive," stated Blue. "You head home and get some sleep, I'll look after Rosalinda."
"Okay," stated Belle as she began to explain to Blue where the diaper bag was and when Rumpelstiltskin would be done collecting rent before she handed the key to the library over and walked out the door heading back to her home.

~Hours Later~

Rumpelstiltskin sighed as he finally made it back to his shop after another long day collecting rent from people who still seemed to understand that they still needed to pay rent regardless if the town was curse or not. Rumpelstiltskin quickly did the paperwork that he needed to get done before he glanced at the clock and thought in odd that Belle wasn't there yet when they always drove home together. Rumpelstiltskin sighed thinking that she most likely was so absorb in her work at the library that she hadn't notice the time and he would simply just pick her up there instead, when his cellphone that he had accidently left on the counter on the shop began to buzz.

Rumpelstiltskin picked up the phone and saw he had one unread message from Belle and quickly opened the email and saw it was just telling him that she had gone home to get some sleep and that Blue was watching Rosalinda. Rumpelstiltskin felt a twinge of anger since he still couldn't stand fairies and in his opinion Blue was the worst of the bunch but he also knew that Blue was his wife friend and it made sense to trust her with their child. Sighing he put his phone in his pocket, thinking that perhaps Blue hadn't known what time he was done collecting rent and drove over to the library where he saw the front door was open. Giving the temperature he found that odd as he slowly exit his car and he immediately felt like something was wrong.

Quickly he made his way into the library and saw that something had partically destroy the library. Bookshelves had toppled over causing books to fall into piles onto the ground and the tables and chairs had been flipped over. However that wasn't what made his blood run cold. Lying on the ground was the Blue Fairy unconscious but there didn't appear to be any sign of his daughter anywhere.

Rumpelstiltskin moved over to the fairy and saw she had a large gash on her forehead from where she must have hit the floor and he could feel traces of magic around the room which was a mixture of Blue usual light magic but there were also traces of an unknown type of magic. Rumpelstiltskin waved his hand over Blue healing her, something he never saw himself doing but knew if he had any plans on finding his daughter, he needed to know what exactly had happened. Blue eye's fluttered open and she sat up looking around wildly before resting on him.

"Where is she!" demanded Rumpelstiltskin.
"What?" asked Blue as she tried to figure out what was going on.
"MY DAUGHTER!" yelled Rumpelstiltskin causing Blue to flinch as his magic appeared wild around him. "WHERE IS SHE?"
"She should be over there," pointed Blue to the small room that Belle used as a personal office off to the side of the main room.

Rumpelstiltskin ran over to the room and he could feel what felt like some kind of protection spell that Belle had tried to cast to protect his daughter but someone had destroyed it. Rumpelstiltskin pushed open the door and glanced around the room, seeing the carrier facing away from him sitting on the desk. He let out a breath of relief as he walked over to the carrier and turned it to face him only to see that it was empty.

"No," exclaimed Rumpelstiltskin. "NO! ROSALINDA!"

Blue made it to the door and let out a cry of shock as Rumpelstiltskin turned to face her, his entire body had dark energy circling around it.

"WHAT HAPPENED!" demanded Rumpelstiltskin. "WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?"
"I don't know," began Blue. "One minute, I was putting files on the desk before I was going to head over to drop off your daughter, when I heard the bell to the library being open. I exit the room and at first didn't see anything but I could feel this strange magic, so I placed a protection spell on the door to the office. The next thing I know is you are waking me up."

Rumpelstiltskin felt his heart turn to ice and quickly conjured the white globe he had, hoping against all hope that his daughter was close by and prick his finger at the top and watched as his blood flow onto the globe only for instead of the location being shown like it should have, nothing happened.

"No," exclaimed Rumpelstiltskin. "That's not possible."
"What happened?" asked Blue her voice full of sadness and fear.
"NOTHING HAPPENED! MY DAUGHTER IS…." Began Rumpelstiltskin.
"She's not in Storybrooke anymore?" asked Blue.
"No," began Rumpelstiltskin no longer shouting but his voice was ice and colder than anything she had ever heard. "It should show her current location no matter where she is as long as she lives."
"You don't mean?"
"MY DAUGHTER'S DEAD!" exclaimed Rumpelstiltskin. "WE TRUSTED YOU AND YOU FAILED US!"

Rumpelstiltskin was about to use his magic to destroy Blue when he turned and saw Belle walked into the library and take a look around before resting her eyes on them. She ran in between the two of them, which made Rumpelstiltskin to stop his attack moving just enough that Belle saw the empty carrier and her eyes to go wide in fear.

"Rumple…" began Belle. "Where is our daughter?"

Rumpelstiltskin felt his throat tightened, but with a voice barely above a whisper tell her what he knew and that his attempt to find her had failed. Belle felt like her heart was being torn into pieces but it was the next words that torn it into two.

"She's gone Belle," stated Rumpelstiltskin. "She's gone…"

Belle felt like a damp had broken open as she fell to the ground crying in pure agony as Rumpelstiltskin gently took her into his arms and held her as she cried into his chest, tears lightly falling from his eyes as well. Blue had tears in her eyes as well as she walked away from the library, leaving the two grieving parents to hold one another as they were forced to face the harsh truth.

However, just before she walked out of the library the sad look and tears vanished and if either Belle or Rumpelstiltskin had looked up at that moment, they would have seen a smile grace her lips before she vanished walked down the street, before vanishing to the outskirts of the town where a man stood holding a baby.

"Lord Zeus," stated Blue bowing low to the god.
"Well done," stated Zeus as he handed her the infant who had woken up and was crying.
"How did you manage to block him from finding her?"
"God magic is a lot more powerful than the magic you mortal's know. Now, keep her safe, I'll check in when the time is right," stated Zeus as he handed a small orb to Blue. "It'll hide her from sight, it'll take a miracle for the dark one to find her now."

With that Zeus smiled as he vanished from sight and Blue looked at the crying baby before smiling and made her way into the house that had appeared in the curse Hook and Emma had created and after placing more spells and wards to prevent those with both good and evil magic from seeing them, she began to set up a room for the child, promising to protect the child until she could bring the eternal light the prophecy she had been informed of spoked of.

A/N: Oh no, Rosalinda been kidnapped and what's worst both Belle and Rumpelstiltskin think she's dead. What will happen to Rosalinda now that she is away from her parents? More to come.
