Hi everyone…

Jael73- thank you for your encouraging review! I was kind of nervous about the whole story but your review made me so happy, thank you! :)

.kanobi- thank you so much for your review, and always encouraging me through my doubts!:)

ZizhunWriter- Thanks for reviewing, and no Belle and the Baby will not be alright. (She said ominously) JKidding they will be…eventually. :)

VyeLoyomBrightwarrior- I'm so glad you liked. I love knowing that people actually like this story. J

Because of my really nice reviewers I will not be rushing this story, this will not be done by Sunday (sorry if anyone is disappointed by that.) however some things are already set in motion because I did rush the last chapter so it will be shorter then I had intended. Anyways enough of my rambling, hope you like this chapter, it's kind of a lot of Rumbelle fluff.:)

She took deep breaths as the pain subsided. Belle still felt week, though. She was grateful for Rumple, who was holding her up. He placed a hand on the small of her back and led her to bedroom where he helped her on the bed. She reassured him she was fine but he still worried. What was causing her pain? Belle closed her eyes resting her head on her pillow, as rumple stroked her forehead.

"Sweetheart why didn't you tell me?"

"I found out after you left," she answered him. "But I decided to go after you before I found out." she told him quickly. Hoping he didn't think she just came because of the baby. He couldn't speak, he was still trying to wrap his brain around all of it.

"Rumple, please sit." She pleaded patting the spot next to her. He slowly fumbled around the bed, with his bad leg. He sat down on the bed and swung his legs up. Once he got situated, sitting up against the headboard, she leaned into him and rested her head against his chest. She could hear his heartbeat in the silence surrounding them. It gave her a sense of calmness.

Still, she was a little worried, he hadn't said much about the baby, or how he felt about it. They hadn't really talked about having a child, but here she was pregnant. Belle was worried about bringing a child into their hectic world, so was Rumple. He always worried about Belle, so many people had already tried to harm her to get to him, and he doubted that would stop anytime soon. People would also try to hurt their baby once it was born. Belle wondered if they would ever have any peace in their life. Anytime to enjoy and relax being around the ones you loved. Where you could feel safe, without worrying about the next curse or villain.

"Rum, I know we never talked about a baby, and it's a bit unexpected, but I'm really happy we're going to have a baby." She told him, trying to get him to say something, but he didn't. However, he brought his arm around her and held her tighter. She reached up to press her lips to his cheek. It was only then that he looked at her again. His eyes fell out of his daze and looked at her with a lovingly gaze that she adored.

"Oh, sweetheart, I am too." he kissed her forehead, and let his lips linger on her head for a moment. "I never imagined that I would be a papa again." he told her "This baby, our baby will be magnificent." She smiled.

They continued to talk, catching up on everything that they had missed during their painful months apart. He told her of what happened after she banished him. How he walked on a limp until he reached a gas station where he could call a taxi. Belle immediately felt sorrowful and a tear escape her eye, which Rumple immediately brushed away with the soft touch of his thumb. Fortunately for him, he still had his wallet, with credit cards in it. Once he got to New York City he found a hotel to sleep at before he bought his own apartment.

"How did you know I would come to New York City?" he asked curiously.

"I didn't know for sure, more of a foolish hope. Which turned out to be right." she said with a happy giggle, before continuing on a sadder note. "Bae lived here." She said explaining her reasons. "I thought you would go where he once lived, to be closer to him." he nodded sadly.

"You were correct."

"I visited Bae, before I left. I told him about our baby." Belle said. Rumple held a sad smile.

"He would have loved being a big brother."

"He would have made an excellent one." She told him.

"Indeed he would have," he agreed. He continued to talk until he asked about Belle's bookstore. When he did she immediately lit up and told him about the store, very enthusiastically. They also talked about their almost encounter when he walked into her story, and then ran out.

"So you liked the shop?" she asked with a proud smile.

"Yes, it perfect. Just like you," he said playfully tapping her nose. She smiled but turned serious.

"Rumple, I'm not perfect. I've made many mistakes in my life, but nobody is. Nobody is perfect."

"You're perfect for me," he said before kissing her. She held him tightly as his lips pressed against her. Her heart fluttered with happiness.

"And you are perfect for me," she said once they broke apart. "You, Rumpelstiltskin are my mystery, my adventure, and my love." she said beautifully.

"And you, Belle, will always be my biggest enigma." He told her. "I can't not fathom why you love me?"

"Well I do, and I will spend a lifetime convincing you if that's what it takes." She said passionately.

"Well it is forever dearie," his said mimicking himself, with a high giggle, sending them both to a time far away when a beast dealt for the beauty. She laughed at him, which made him stare at her with a great smile. She enjoyed this, sitting comfortably on the bed with him, just talking. For a moment she didn't miss Storybrooke and all of its condemning residents. It was just her and Rumple so far away from everything. However, she did miss her library and Ruby. She longed for her and Rumple's house. She missed the small little town with Granny's dinner and the pawnshop. Belle wanted to talk to Rumple about what they were going to do next, where they were going to go, but she was too enraptured in there moment of bliss. She didn't want to break their small bubble of contentment and joy. So she didn't touch the subject, instead she nestled closer to him. Both Rumple and Belle didn't realize how tired they were, from their restless nights apart, and fell asleep together in the daylight.

They woke hours later, well rested and at greater ease than ever before. Rumple woke before Belle and stared at her beautiful sleeping form. His eyes drifted to her stomach where a baby was barely visible. He placed a hand over her stomach as gently as he could, although she woke up and stared at him with a bright happiness in her eye and a smile tugging at her lips.

As always please review or PM with any thoughts, questions, or any Rumbelle feels!:) Thanks for reading.
