Hey guys! Quick question: Should Belle get her powers from the baby or should i add a back story that Belle had powers growing up but they were taken away from her?

Chapter 8

Rumple watched her walk into the room. The anger inside was not one of jealousy, but one of self hate. He hated himself for this. Belle had been on her own for months, but now she had been on her own and pregnant. He had left her. He would have failed the child, as he died Bae. He hated himself. The anger towards those three buffoons began to surface, if they had seen Belle in the shop, then why had they not said anything. They were keeping it from him. Would they hurt her? Belle. They probably couldn't do more damage than he had done already. He needed to get to her, attempt to make things right. He needed to do something. What if something had happened to the baby? What if all this stress had had an adverse affect?

"Oh god." A voice behind him said.

"Ms Swan!" Rumple let out. Oh great. Now she would tell Belle he was here, more stress.

"Please don't tell her I'm here, I can't let her have anymore unnecessary stress." Rumple begged.

"Wow, you really don't know." Emma said exasperated.

"What is it?" Rumple replied curiously.

"Her mother. Belle's mother is back. She's alive. We don't know how or why. Something's happening." Emma said

"What?" What do you mean? She can't be." Rumple said his confusion showing.

"Did you have anything to do with this?" Emma questioned.

"You know if I could bring back the dead, I'd have done it already." Rumple said with a pained expression.

"I'm sorry, I needed to ask." Emma said. "But, you need to stay away from her, I'm not going to let her get hurt again. She's my friend."

"You know I'd never hurt her." Rumple said shocked.

"Yeah, that's why she made you leave." Emma replied mockingly.

"I don't have to explain myself to you." Rumple replied.

"No, but you have to explain yourself to her." Emma replied slowly.

"I...I don't know what to say. I doubt she'd believe me after everything." Rumple said looking ashamed.

"Let her sort things out with her mother. Let her have something good happen to her. She's been on a spiral of bad luck. Let her rebuild with her mother." Emma said before walking away.

"What is it?" Belle asked worried.

"Actually, thankfully, it's nothing. Just some cramps. Nothing to worry about. Your little princess will be fine." Whale replied with a smile.

"Oh thank god." Belle gasped.

"I was worried, that something may have happened." Belle added as Hook began to smile.

"Well the little sailor has yet to find her sea legs." Hook laughed.

"That doesn't make any sense." Belle replied puzzled.

Hook just laughed. "Any names yet?" Whale asked with a smile.

"Well I haven't given it much thought but I was thinking about Rose." Belle smiled as she stared at the bump.

"That's a lovely name." Whale smiled back.

"Can I see my mother now?" Belle asked.

"I don't see why not? Go right ahead." Whale said.

"Thanks." Belle said as she began to stand up.

"Nonsense, I'll push you." Hook said as he began to wheel her out of the room.

"I'm fine, Killian." Belle said.

"Regardless, I enjoy pushing these things." Killian replied.

"Great. More fun for me." Belle said sarcastically as he began to push her to the room in which her mother was lying down.

"Mother?" Belle whispered softly. It was surreal, to see the woman who had saved her, the woman who was her whole world. The woman who she had lost.

"Belle? Oh my sweet." Colette French let out after so long. She hadn't seen her daughter. Her precious Belle.

"Mother. I...how?" Belle let out.

"I don't know myself my dear. I can't remember anything. My last memory was the library." Colette explained.

"Well I'm glad you're alive. I've missed you so much. More than I can explain. I woke up and couldn't remember at first. So I went searching for something to give me my memories back, but when I returned I had lost the antidote. Father told me what you did for me. Thankyou." Belle said as she played with her mother's hair.

"You don't need to thank me, I'm your mother. I would give my life for yours without a second thought." Colette said as she kissed Belle's forehead.

"I love you." Belle said as she closed her eyes.

"And I you, my dear. Now who is this?" Colette said gesturing to the bump on Belle's stomach.

"This is your granddaughter." Belle smiled.

"Oh my sweet, and a ring I see. Who is the lucky man?" Colette teased her daughter.

"Well, it was Rumplestiltskin, mother." Belle said slowly. Hoping her mother would not freak out as her father had.

"Excuse me?" Colette said as her eyes widened.

"Mother. I love..." Belle began to say.

"It's not about him my dear, have you experienced any changes?" Colette asked as she tried to sit up.

"What do you mean?" Belle asked curiously.

"Magic." Colette stated as she studied her daughter.

"Oh yes mother, I've been practicing. Regina and Emma have been teaching me. They think I've got some powers from the baby." Belle explained, relieved that her mother's reaction was different to her fathers.

"Oh ok." Colette said with a smile. She didn't need to tell Belle now, not when they all thought it was due to the baby. It was better that if it never came out. Obviously, Maurice hadn't told her anything.

"Why mother?" Belle asked with a smile.

"I was just wondering my sweet. It was something I read a long time ago. It is of no matter. Now, after that rude display of manners on my behalf, why do you say was?" Colette asked.

"I don't understand mother? What are you talking about?" Belle asked her.

"You said it was Rumplestiltskin." Colette explained.

"It is of no matter, you need your rest." Belle brushed her off. Not wanting to explain her messy circumstances to her mother.

"Belle. You're my daughter. I know that face. What is it? What happened? Dark One or not if he has hurt my daughter, he will regret it." Colette said sternly as she stroked Belle's hair back from her forehead.

"I do not wish to talk about it mother. It's too complicated. It'll be a long conversation, best suited to when you're better." Belle said before standing up.

"Very well, my sweet." Colette said as Belle kissed her forehead.

"Thankyou for understanding, I'll go and get you some clothes." Belle said with a smile.

"That reminds me, what is everyone wearing?' Colette laughed.

"This is another land mother, the clothing is different. But do not fear, you have me. I'll find something for you." Belle said as she began to walk out.

"I love you." Colette said to her daughter.

"I love you too mother. I'll bring some books over too!" Belle said before completely walking out of the room. She was relieved that she didn't have to explain the Rumple situation to her. If she did, her mother would spin it as though she was faultless and a victim in the matter. They had both played a part in the destruction of their relationship. It was not just Rumple. It was not just her.

"Belle!" Regina shouted.

"Oh god." Belle said to herself. Time for over protective Regina again.

"I heard, is everything OK? I checked on you mother and she was doing fine and when I came back I was told that something had happened to you! I didn't know what to think!" Regina said laughing.

"I'm fine, see!" Belle smiled. However Regina wasn't so easily convinced. "It was just a few cramps and after that I went to talk to my mother."

"Thank god. Is she ok?" Regina asked.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go get some clothes and books for her." Belle said smiling.

"I'll come with you." Regina said as she began to walk out, with Belle behind her.

After they were gone, Emma finally spoke out.

"You know that's creepy right." Emma stated as she sipped her coffee.

"What now, Ms Swan." Rumple said annoyed.

"Nothing, it's just that instead of creeping around you should either make an effort to talk to her or do something about..." Emma stopped herself.

"About what, may I ask?" Rumple asked her.

"Nothing, I'm tired. Bye." Emma said as she began to walk out, she'd almost let it slip that she was onto him.

"I don't appreciate being lied to Ms Swan." Rumple said through his teeth.

"Neither did Belle and you still did." Emma said as she walked out.

The harshness of her words had thrown him off. He let her go. She was right. He was being hypocritical. He sighed as he walked towards his car. He'd deal with those three idiots now. He needed to do something productive, once he had sorted this out then he'd be one step closer to getting back to Belle.
