Sorry I feel like this chapter is late but I hit a roadblock that I had to get over, luckily I did. I had everything planned out and I knew what I wanted to happen just couldn't find the words to write it. Anyways I finally did and here it is. Also thank you so much for the reviews! They were so encouraging!

Rumple was here, in front of her, holding her hand. For a moment she forgot about everything. She forgot about the lies and the secrets and the darkness. She didn't see all her troubles and worries. All she saw was him. Just the man that she fell in love with.

She rose up to her knees on the bed and threw both of her arms around his neck. He was hesitant at first but he eventually wrapped one of his own arms around her waist, the other was on his cane. He leaned down and rested his head in brown curls. He breathed her in and soon relaxed in her embrace. He felt her fingers wrap around his hair and rub at his neck. He impulsively embraced her tighter. She melted into his hug and ended up getting out of the hospital bed to step closer to him. Belle stood for a bit, enjoying being near him again, but then pulled back a little. He saw that there were tears in her eyes and he was saddened by them. They are all because of me, he thought. He took a stepped back, completely removing himself from her. She took a half step towards him but he just shuffled away.

"Rumple," she said slowly and started to take a step towards him. This time he didn't back away. "I know there's a lot we need to talk about," she took his hand and paused letting it sink in. "But I want you to know that I do love you." He looked in to her eyes for a moment before breaking contact and stepping away.

"Do you?" she was taking back by the harshness in his voice. It wasn't malice though, more like self-deprecation and confusion.

"What?" she asked shaking her head, not understanding what he meant.

"You," he pointed a finger towards her. "You took me to the town line. You stood before, as beautiful as the day I met you, and told me to cross the border. You banished me from town." He paused before adding quitter, "you banished me from you." They studied each other, before Belle spoke up.

"You were going to kill Hook, you ripped out heart. You controlled him Rumple, used him to do your bidding. You commanded him to get rid of all the fairies. Then when the Snow Queen threated the whole town, you made a deal with her. You didn't care about the rest of the town, not even Emma." His jaw clenched harder with every accusation.

"I cared about you," he pointed out. She went on like he never even said it.

"You lied about the dagger, about Zelena. Yes, I figured that out." he wasn't that surprised by that. Belle was smart. "I know you were trying to rid yourself of the dagger, and you would've tried again, not caring who you hurt. As long as it wasn't me." She paused giving him time to deny it, but he couldn't. "When you want something you don't quit. Banishing you was my only option."

"Was it?" he questions. She opens her mouth, but then closes it. She hates herself for fumbling for words. They relapsed into awkward silence. Both of them had so much to say, but neither of them knew how to say it or even if they wanted to. Their heads perked up when their silence was broken by a knock on the door.

"Hello," a man peaks his head in the room before coming in with a clipboard in hand. He fiddles with the stethoscope around his neck before introducing himself. "Hi my name is Dr. Cameron," he walks over to shake Rumple's hand. "You must be Mrs. Gold's husband?" there's a bit of hesitation in Rumple's voice before he answers the doctor's question.

"Yes, I am." The doctor smiles at him before walking over to Belle.

"Well, Mrs. Gold you have a very diligent husband. He stayed with you from the time you both arrived." Rumple looks away while Belle tries to give the doctor a polite smile. However, the doctor could tell something was wrong.

"So Mrs. Gold, how are you feeling?" he moves past the awkward silence.

"I feel better now. I've just been really tired and I've been having pain in my stomach. It just feels uncomfortable."

"Well we ran some test. You're not dehydrated, you seem healthy. Your blood pressure was a tad high when you first arrived. Have you been stressed?" Belle looked at the ground, trying to avoid the question.

"A little," she said trying to shrug it off, but now Rumple stepped closer, concerned.

"Belle?" he asked not buying it. She looked at him.

"Fine a lot." She admits.

"Why?" Rumple asked curiously.

"My shop opening is in less than two weeks." She said although her greater cause for stress was wondering about Rumple all the time, and then finally seeing him had been shocking. "I've been doing a lot of cleaning and organizing." She says not knowing that Rumple already knows from following her every day.

"So normally we wouldn't worry so much because everything seems fine. You're very healthy. You probably just over worked yourself but because your-"Belle's eyes widen and she quickly interrupts realizing what he was about to reveal. She wasn't sure if she was ready to tell Rumple about the baby just yet, and she especially didn't want him to find out like that.

"Ru-. Mr. G-." she fumbles with what to call him so she just looks at him. "Do you mind if I could talk to Dr. Cameron," she pauses. "Alone." Rumple looks at her oddly and then at the doctor who shrugs his shoulder. He tightens his hands on the cane and looks at Belle.

"Fine, if that's what you want," he says curtly before walking out silently. Once he's gone Belle lets out a long sigh.

"I'm sorry Dr. Cameron. My husband doesn't know about the baby. I haven't seen him for months. Things are…" she searches for the right word. How do you say my husband is a dark, powerful sorcerer from another world where he's wears leather and has greenish gold skin, she thought. "complicated." She finally decided. The doctor gave her a small smile.

"Because you're pregnant you need to take extra care, but you'll be happy to know the baby looks fine." She smiles and the news.

"That's wonderful."

"Your stomach pain might come from working to much. You said you're opening a shop?" she nodded. "I would suggest sitting down more, keep making sure you're eating and drinking. How are you sleeping?"

"Ok," she said not admitting that she had been sleeping terribly.

"I'm going to let you go, but I want you to reschedule that doctor's appointment. Ok?"

"Yes, thank you doctor." The doctor smiles and nods.

"Alright I will just get the paperwork to get you discharged and you can leave." He walks out the door, and Rumple, who was waiting out in the hallway, took that as a sign to walk back in. as he did he saw Belle sitting on the edge of the bed with her head in her hands. He wanted to sit next to her but opted to stand in front of her. She lifted her head and sighed.

"I really don't want to talk about it right now." She said, and Rumple knew she meant about her asking him to leave.

"We don't have to." He told her. "If you're fine, then I'll leave." She looked up at him and then rose from her sitting position.

"Do you think I want you to leave?"

"I don't know what to think," he told her honestly

"Why do you think I came here?"

"I don't know. I've been wondering that myself."

"I came here for you!" she cried and then sighed sitting back on the bed.

"For me?" he whispered finally getting the answer to the question that had been haunting him for weeks.

"Yes." He wanted to ask why she would come for him, but he didn't and he lost his chance when the doctor came back in. they both turned their heads to look at him.

"Ok so here's the papers you need to sign." He passed them to Belle along with a pen. "Honestly Mrs. Gold I don't think you should live alone, is there anyone who could stay with you? Anyone to help you with the shop?"

"I don't think so." She said sadly. "Unless you would?" it took Rumple a second to realize she meant him. He didn't answer for a while.

"Rumple?" she said not even caring that the doctor was in the room. She stood again and grabbed his hand making sure he was looking in her eyes. This is what she came here for. To see Rumple again, to tell him he was going to be a Papa again. To fix what they had.

He looked in her beautiful blue eyes. They weren't full of hate and loathing towards him, but they looked tired and desperate. So he nodded.

"Yes. I will stay with you."

Hope you liked it. As always please review or PM thought, questions, prompts, or Rumbelle feels! Also if anyone had prompts for how Rumple will find out he going to be a Papa…that would be great! Thanks!:)
