Chapter 6

"Hello?"

"Uh hi umm. We are looking for Rumpelstiltskin but I'm guessing he doesn't live here." Emma says frustrated.

"No he does live here come in." the young lady with brown hair says before opening the door all the wore a blue dress with a white top underneath it. She didn't look much older than Emma. The three of them walk in hesitantly.

"Hi I'm Belle." she introduces herself. Emma looks at her confused. She's really nice. Why was she here in his castle?

"I'm Emma. This is Red and my fiancé Graham." she says grabbing Graham's hand. Who says Graham is the only one who's territorial? Graham smiles when she uses the word fiancé. It's like she is showing it off and is proud of it.

"Nice to meet you all. Excuse me I'll call for him for you." Belle struts over to the stairwell. "Rumple, Emma,Red and Graham are here to see you!" she calls.

"Um excuse me if this is rude but did he force you to live here? Are you trapped or something," Red asks the question that the three of them are wondering. Belle laughs.

"Oh no. Not anymore. I love that man." she smiles confidently. They hear footsteps coming down the steps. He is much scalier and golden since they last saw him in Storybrooke.

"Ahh what a pleasant surprise," he says with an eerie smirk. Emma even feels a little more intimidated now that he has no limp. "And Huntsman it's good to see you again last time I saw you, you were a bit stiff." Emma can feel the tension throughout his body.

"Enough. We need to ask you for something?" Emma announces.

"Of course dearie." he leads them to what appears to be an office. Belle follows despite the looks she was receiving from Rumple. He sits behind the desk while Belle stands next to him, Graham,Emma, and Red sit in front of the desk. "Now let me guess you want me to help you find Regina." The trio gives each other a suspicious look.

"Indeed," Emma confirms.

"But now Emma you still owe me after our little deal in Storybrooke."

"Yes but you were the one who tricked me into giving the True Love potion so I think we're even."

"True. I think I know what'd I want." his eyes go straight to the ring on Emma finger. "I like what follows weddings."

"ABSOLUTELY NOT! IF YOU THINK FOR ONE SECOND WE'D GIVE YOU THAT YOU'RE MORE OUT OF YOUR MIND THAN WE THINK!" Graham shouts standing up and slamming his fist into his table. He forgets that it is still bruised and winces at the pain making Rumpelstiltskin cackle.

Belle gives Rumple a scornful look. Emma pulls on Graham's arm to sit down.

"Graham you think I'd let him do that. I have something else that he might want." Emma states getting a confused look from everybody in the room.

"Why would I let you decide your part of the bargain. That's hardly fair."

"Because I have something else you want."

"I highly doubt that. What could you possibly have?"

"Help to find your son." she announces. The room goes cold. Belle has never seen him feeling threatened.

"What do you know about my son?" he squinting his eyes and squeezing his hand to a fist.

"That you let him go because you wanted to keep your power and that I know how to get him back."

"THAT'S A LIE EMMA SWAN!" he stands up and shouts. "SHE TOLD ME THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!" he get's in front of her.

"Oh but there is," She stands up to look him in the eye. "Or are you to much of a coward to see him again." His breath is heavy. They both are intensely staring at each other until one speaks.

"No."

"Rumple-" Belle get's cut off.

"NO! NOW LEAVE!" he shouts.

"Fine but I hope every night before you go to sleep you feel an emptiness. An emptiness from abandoning him. That it's all your fault he's gone." she says turning toward the door followed by Graham and Red. She can feel Rumpelstiltskin's stare as she walks away. His eyes close before speaking up just before they were about to close the door.

"Wait! We have a deal." he says in defeat. Emma turns around and walks over. She puts out her hand.

"One more thing. No tricks." He nods and shakes her hand. "Can you take us back to my castle. My father wants to find where she is there."

"Whatever you like," he snippily says. He was about to snap his fingers but Belle interrupts.

"I'm going too. If you think for a second I'm letting you do this by yourself you've got another thing coming." Rumpelstiltskin doesn't feel like arguing so he nods his head then snaps his fingers. They all are back in the castle. A knight spots them and gets her parents. Charming and Snow come running down. Charming didn't care how it made him look less intimidating in front of the Dark Wizard she runs and hugs his daughter.

"Good job Em," he whispers into her ear.

"Thanks Dad." Emma replies. Snow also hugs her husband and daughter. Charming pulls away.

"You three are exhausted and deserve a break. I'll start discussing with these two while you guys go relax." he says sternly walking away with Belle and Rumpelstiltskin. Emma is about to be argue but then realizes how tired she actually is. She looks over to Graham who looks five times as tired as she is.

"How did you know all that stuff back there?" Graham asks so impressed.

"The Blue Fairy told me and I know someone who can help."

"Well you definitely inherited the determination from your parents for sure." Red answers making Snow's grin grow.

"I'm just so glad you three came back safely. Anything big happen while you were out there?" Snow asks. Red, Graham, and Emma give each other a humorous look before Emma begins.

"Oh nothing really just was a lot of walking, spent a night in a cave, Regina came while Red and I were sleeping to bargain him for my safety but he did what you guys said, almost gave Red a heart-attack because Graham and I were outside the cave watching the sun rise when she woke up and didn't know where we were, Graham proposed to me, we walked to the castle-"

"Wait what did you just say." Snow interrupts.

"We nearly gave Red a heart attack." Graham suggests.

"No after that!" Snow yells frantically.

"Uhhh we walked to a castle," Red says.

"NO THE PART BEFORE THAT ABOUT GRAHAM PROPOSING!"

"Oh that. Yeah we're getting married" she waves the ring on her finger in front of her mom with a mischievous grin. Tears fall from Snow's face as she hugs Emma.

"Emma… I'm so happy for you." Emma's smile turns more sincere as a tear falls from her own face. Snow turns to Graham. "Graham there's nobody else in the world who would be a better husband for my daughter. Not only have you been a great lover to her, you've been a great friend to all of us and we'd love to have you in our family," she says hugging him. Graham smiles widely. He will never regret saving this woman.

"Thank you so much Snow."

"Mom, will you be the maid of honor." By now Snow was a sobbing wreck.

"Of course honey. I'm so excited."

After all the hugging, Snow and Red go to the kitchen to chat while Graham and Emma go to find Henry.

"Is it bad that I'm more nervous now than I was when we were at Rumpelstiltskin castle," Graham asks. He's nervous for the approval of a ten year old, but not any ten year old, her ten year old. He cares so much about both of them and wants something he never thought he'd ever want. A family.

"I'm telling you he is going to be thrilled. He already loves you. It'll be fine." she says. He nods back before getting to stable where Snow told them he is. They see him giving a black horse a carrot.

"Hey kid," she says. His head snaps back to see who it was before running over to hug them.

"You guys are safe. Did you get Rumpelstiltskin to agree to help?" he asks once again knowing what he isn't suppose to know.

"Yup." she says smiling.

"I knew you guys could." he smiles with a confidence like his mother's. Emma gives Graham a looks saying to tell him. Henry catches on. "So what's up," he says slyly.

"Umm Henry let's sit down outside." Graham says nervously. Graham is one of the bravest people Emma knows yet he constantly doubts himself. She wishes he could see how great he is. The three sit down on the grass. Grahams eyes look down before he finally talks."Well… Henry umm… you're mom and I well we umm… are getting married." Henry's eyes light up.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Henry yells with a huge smile on his face. The fact that he's smiling makes Graham relax. Emma nods her head smiling showing him the ring. She loves showing it off.

"I'm so happy for you guys!" Graham let's out a sigh of relief.

"That is good to hear because this affects you too because I really care about you and your mom and want to help raise you and be a family, if that's okay." He looks at both Henry and Emma. Henry always wanted a dad. Someone to teach him about things his mom couldn't. Graham always looked out far him growing up. He smiles even brighter.

"That'd be amazing." Henry replies. Graham is practically beaming at this point. Emma looks at her favorite two men in the world. She is now determined to not let Regina touch them.

All day Graham, Emma, and Henry hang out. First Graham teaches them both how to use a bow because of how badly they did the other day. Then they take a hike in the woods where they introduce Henry to Graham's wolf. He also seems to take a liking to Henry. They eat dinner with Rumple, Belle and the rest of the family. It is a little awkward at first but Belle is so kind she is able to get the conversations going.

"So Graham I didn't think when you asked me for my daughters hand in marriage you'd do it the next day," Charming says.

"I couldn't help it after Regina came to bargain me for Em's safety. I just had to do it you know," Graham replies calmly.

"Well you did what I asked of you so I see your a very good match for her." Charming says looking at both Graham and her daughter. Emma knows even though her father likes to scare Graham he does like him and respects him.

"Wait you didn't sacrifice yourself for Emma. Finally someone realized that is the oldest trick in her book. She'll say that the only way to protect your lover is by hurt yourself. When really she's all talk and has never had to think about what to do if they say no. I bet because of you Graham she is wherever she is pacing her castle completely dumbfounded because of what you did." Rumpelstiltskin says impressed. "I underestimated you." Graham's face turns red when everyone starts cheering for him. Clearly they didn't see him after she came.

After dinner Henry is exhausted after hanging out with his mom and new dad. The two of them tuck Henry in giving him a kiss on his forehead. This is one of the happiest moments of all three of their lives and all knew more will come. Emma and Graham quietly exit Henry's room before going to their own. They walk in and gaze at each other.

"How are you feeling?" she asks.

"Like the luckiest man alive," he says placing his hands on her hips.

"I don't think I could of ask for a better family." she says putting her arms around her neck. "You know I have to still make up for this morning." she says with a smirk. He smirks as well.

"Yes you do." he growls before kissing her neck. She hums letting her head fall back. His kisses make their way to her mouth. They kiss there until Graham picks her up and she wraps her legs around his torso. They kiss while he brings her over to the bed. He carefully places her down. She starts undoing the buttons on his shirt.

"Stupid buttons," she mumbles. He helps her with the buttons and throws the shirt to the side. He takes her jacket off and gets her tank off. He gazes at how beautiful and radiant she is,

"God Emma you're so beautiful." he says kissing her chest. She smiles. No guy before Graham has ever told her she is beautiful. They said she was hot and sexy but never beautiful. He makes her feel so much better about herself than she ever has. He looks her in the eye. "I love you Emma Swan future Mrs. Humbert." She looks back at her amazing fiancé.

"I love you too Graham Humbert."
