Hey guys, so I hope you liked that, the majority of you said to keep the baby, but as for being pregnant or already giving birth, I have two ideas so far: Belle going into labour whilst the Dark Queens are snooping or Belle already having the baby like in the dream, because a few of you thought that Rumple didn't deserve to be there for the birth after everything. Also what about her not having a baby at all? I mean that might be a good idea, right? It would give them both time to focus on their relationship and she could be pregnant later on? I don't know, but the choices are either:

Pregnant

Not Pregnant and No Baby (Just pure Rumbelle)

Already had a baby

Personally I love both but I'll just watch where the story takes me!

And I don't know who this is but personally I happen to ship Rumbelle, Outlaw Queen, Captain Swan and Snowing, the other 3 won't be prominent in the story, just little hints like in the dream, even less probably, so if you have a problem with them or are going to be nasty, I'd recommend not reading.

And last of all, thank you to all of you guys who are so supportive whether, it's favouriting or following, I appreciate it as well as the reviews and suggestions. ILY guys! 3

Chapter 4

They had finally reached Storybrooke, after a long car journey with those three buffoons, Rumple wanted nothing more to get this all over and done, he was tired. He missed Belle, well missed was a huge understatement. He needed Belle, she was always there to help him see what the right thing to do was and then he went off and did the wrong thing. He shook his head, he had spent months beating himself up and he needed to get back to Belle without any distractions, even Belle herself as it seemed. If he wasn't thinking about Belle, he was thinking about how the storybook worked, the 'Author' had to be very powerful. He sighed, he knew in his heart that one day he would be back with Belle. Maybe it would have been better if the two of them had lived in the Enchanted Forest, he would have been able to use his powers as he pleased, he would have had a huge castle, he would feel no regret when he used the others, he would have been fine. They would have been fine and he hated himself for it.

Oh how he missed the days in the castle, despite Belle and himself arguing so much, it was perfect. There was always subtext; there was something new everyday. Belle would read and he would watch, they would have dinner together that either himself or Belle had prepared. He remembered the first time Belle has attempted to cook, she was useless! He had to teach her and then within a week she was better than him. He remembered the hours Belle would spend in that library, she would never understand how quickly time went by when she was reading and always assumed the clocks were broken. He remembered their conversations, the care free ones and the important ones. He remembered the first time that she had kissed him and when he had sent her away. He remembered it all and it all hurt.

He watched as Cruella strutted out of the car as he began to reverse and drive off. The other two would be dropped around at different corners so the timings of their arrivals would be spread out. If he had to choose one person that might screw up the plan he would have chosen Cruella. She was too shallow and wouldn't let go of her coat. Belle could accidently step on her coat and Cruella would strut out. The shallow woman. He was so glad that Belle was not like that, she was his Belle, and she was perfect. Not shallow or greedy, not rude or mean she was kind and patient, loving and caring. Everything that he aspired to be, that was Belle.

After all three of the girls were dropped, Rumple began to park in a small alley way that wasn't used a lot, he knew here, he would be able to keep an eye on the shop and remain hidden. He thought about making himself and the car invisible, but he fought against the notion. He needed to act as normal as possible. Instead he waited and watch.

However after about ten minutes he saw Snow, Charming, Emma and Henry walking towards his alleyway. He decided to move else where it would be better if he weren't caught just yet. He drove off toward a car park by the docks and waited there. Hopefully those three would have seen the text he had left them. If they lay a finger on Belle, they knew what would happen, so they could be allowed near her. Under normal circumstances, he would keep them miles away from her, but this was hardly normal.

Rumple waited and waited for what seemed like hours in the car, he had eaten an apple but was hungry, even if he was the Dark One, he didn't want to use his magic too much at the moment, in case Emma and Regina were looking out for users of magic in the town. He got out his wallet and opened the zip. Then he took out his picture of Belle and looked at it. She was happy, she was smiling. It was after they had gotten married and they had returned home. She was sitting on the sofa and laughing at him for taking pictures. He let out a small laugh when he remembered that day; Belle was being stubborn and so was he.

She had wanted to the photos in the morning and he thought it would be funny to take them whilst she was napping; she attempted to act furious when she woke up, but she was too happy. Happy that they were finally married. Rumple sighed, her happiness was short lived with him and he hated it. Looking at the picture made him wonder how she was now, what she was doing right now. Maybe she was reading, or baby-sitting, or in the library, or going for a walk, or helping someone out. Belle was predictable yet unpredictable. Reserved yet wild. She was a paradox a beautiful paradox. It was happening again, he was missing her again. He missed her every second of the day, but when he thought about her for a long time, his heart would physically ache. The feeling was like no other and it wasn't one to be liked.

Rumple looked down to his phone it was Cruella. He was worried, what if something had happened to Belle. He was unsure and scared. He didn't know if he could cope with losing her all over again.

"Hello, what happened?" Rumple asked anxiously, but covered up his feelings to avoid mockery.

"Found it, get the car over here now. The other two have walked down to the places where you dropped them and I am waiting outside your shop. Hurry up." Cruella hissed.

With that Rumple ended the call and drove off to the shop. He saw Cruella standing there, but also Belle walking down, he parked and jamp into the back as Cruella sat in the drivers seat and drove off. He was sitting on the floor of the car to avoid Belle seeing him, so couldn't see her. He just saw her hair and he knew it was her. He could tell who she was by the palm of her hand. Rumple sighed in relief as Cruella stopped off and picked up Maleficent and Ursula. They had both laughed when they had seen him on the floor and as Cruella drove away. The tension ceased and Rumple finally sat up.

"You know you didn't need to sit on the floor until we left town, right?" Maleficent asked him with a laugh.

"Maleficent, the man got stripped of his power and dignity by his own wife, I doubt he knows that much. He's just like any other man, stupid and foolish." Cruella replied.

"Those are just some words to describe him..." Ursula sneered, which was met by a groan from Rumple. They were right, his own wife had done that to him; no one with any sense would have that happen to them. He was foolish.

They drove to a small motel nearer to the town and decided to spend the night there. Tomorrow would be a busy day for all of them. In more ways than one.
