Hey, so sorry for the wait. But I have it. I've done it. And here it is...

Rumplestiltskin looked down at his beauty, unconscious in his arms. Then he looked over at Jefferson, sitting on the floor with a little blood on his head where the clock had hit him after being pushed by Belle. When he felt her begin to stir he looked back and saw her eyes fluttering open. He could see the blue of her eyes looking at him, trying to focus on his face and take in her surroundings. After a few moments, she was able to realise what had just happened. She looked up at Rumplestiltskin with a smile, which soon turned into a huge grin. She put her hand up to his cheek to be sure it was really him.

"R-Rumplestiltskin!"

He let out a big breath he didn't realise he'd been holding. She was ok. She was alright. She remembered. But he needed to be sure.

"You know who I am? You remember?"

Belle quickly nodded, tears of joy starting to fill her eyes.

"I remember. I remember everything!"

Then she leaned up from his arms and pressed her lips against his, missing the taste of straw and old magic. She brought her arms up around his neck, pulling him closer, missing him somuch. And she felt an arm move around her waist, holding her tight. She kissed him harder, never wanting it to end, but she eventually pulled away when she needed to breath. She put both her hands on his cheeks and rested her forehead against his, making sure they were always close. She didn't even notice the tears running down her cheeks.

"I've missed you so much!" she sobbed.

"I've missed you too, sweetheart."

Then she began to bombard him with questions, "Why didn't I remember you? Did I get cursed again? But I remember everything now, right? Does that mean the curse is broken?" she had so many questions she didn't know where to start. But Rumplestiltskin looked down at her and smiled.

"The curse is broken, Belle. You're fine now." She smiled with relief, and then it quickly vanished when her eyes caught sight of Jefferson on the floor.

"Jefferson!" she quickly rushed over and knelt on the floor beside him, "You're bleeding!" she looked up at his head which was a little cut, but nothing serious, "Are you okay? Do you need a doctor? Oh God, I did this to you-" she started to throw questions again, but Jefferson quickly put a hand up to her, asking her to stop talking.

"I'm fine." He said with a smile, getting up to his feet. He did look fine, but Belle helped him up anyway.

"I'm so sorry I pushed you. I'm sorry for everything. Is your head okay?" this made Jefferson's smile bigger.

"I said I'm fine. Honestly. You don't have to apologise for anything."

"Well then at least let me thank you."

Jefferson shrugged, "For what?"

"For trying to keep me away from Rumple, for helping me in the hospital, for always being there for me, and for always being such a good friend."

Jefferson's eyes quickly flickered towards Rumplestiltskin, who seemed grateful enough for what he's done for Belle. Then he looked back at his friend and grinned at her.

"Okay, I'll let you thank me for that." Belle laughed at her mad little friend, "I was only trying to keep you safe, that's all. Just because I care about you."

She looked at him, feeling slightly guilty when she remembered how hard he had tried to keep her safe. When she wanted to walk into the shop, he was practically begging her to listen to him. All because he cared about her. This warmed her heart, realising how much he wanted to keep her safe. She turned to Rumplestiltskin, "Rumple, do you have a cloth or a first aid kit or something?"

Jefferson started to shake his head, "Belle you don't-" but she didn't want to hear it.

"Shh!" she demanded, and he was immediately quiet.

"I have some stuff at the back. Wait here a minute." And he disappeared into his office.
Belle looked at Jefferson and patted one of the nearby chairs, telling him to sit down. He didn't argue. Then Rumplestiltskin reappeared with a cloth and a little bowl of water. When he handed them to Belle he exchanged a look with her, saying he wanted Jefferson out of here so they could talk. She quickly shot him one back, letting him know that he must be patient.

Belle started to tend to the cut on Jefferson's head, "You know, the curse is broken," he looked up at her as if he knew what she was about to say, "that means Grace is going to be looking for you." he had already started to shake his head, and Belle was immediately annoyed, "What?"

"I've told you already. She'll hate me."

Belle shook her head, "Stop saying that! You can't say that! Not until you've talked to her yourself." He winced a little when she accidently pressed on his cut a little too hard.
Rumplestiltskin stayed quiet behind them. Trying to be patient and waiting for Jefferson to leave, so he could be with Belle.

"But I left her. I left her fatherless!"

Rumplestiltskin couldn't help but relate Jefferson's problem to his own. He stayed silent, thinking about his son.

But Belle didn't want to hear him talk like this anymore, "And now you can go see her and she won't be anymore. Jefferson, listen to me," she said sternly, "you've wanted Grace back all this time. Now that you finally have the chance to see her again, you're too much of a coward to face her. How do you plan on seeing her if you're too afraid to talk to her?" She finished up tending to his cut and threw the cloth on the table in a little annoyance. "Go find her."

Jefferson couldn't help smile at her seriousness, "Belle…"

"I said go." She demanded.

He looked at her with a grin and stood up, gave her a tight hug and whispered in her ear, "You can be so bossy sometimes, you know that?" Belle laughed and hugged him tighter,

"It's because I care about you." he let go and looked into her eyes.

"I know." She gave him one last squeeze on his hand before he left to go find his daughter.

Rumplestiltskin walked up from behind her, "You can be quite persuasive when you want to." She turned around to face him.

"I guess it just annoys me a little when people want to be with their loved ones, but aren't willing to fight for it."

Rumplestiltskin kept quiet. Not exactly sure if this was directed at him. But then Belle could see the look on his face, "Oh, Rumple, no. Don't think about before. Look, I'm sorry about all those things I said about you being a monster, and me hating you." she took her hand in his and looked at him, feeling guilty.

"But…they were true. Weren't they?"

Belle hesitated for a moment, "No…maybe some of it," but then she quickly added before he could think anything bad, "but those were my feelings from before. You know, when I left you in our other land. I guess my feelings from then were forced to come out now. I was angry, but trust me, I never hated you."

Rumplestiltskin felt a little relived that what she had said before was just her old-self talking. But he did feel guilty for making her feel like that all those years ago.

"Rumple, I'm so sorry-"

"Stop it," he interrupted, "Stop apologising for everything. There is nothing for you to be sorry for. You were cursed. I was the one who let them get away with taking you to that hospital. If it wasn't for me, none of this would have ever happened. I should be the one apologising."

Belle shook her head and put her arms around his neck. She looked up at him and spoke quietly, "How about this: we both stop apologising for everything. It was all in the past. We're together now, and that's the only thing that matters."

Rumplestiltskin smiled at his beauty. She was right. He had waited so long to be reunited with her again. He didn't want to waste their time together by apologising for everything that they did. That was in the past. This is now.

"You're absolutely right." he leaned down and kissed her on the lips, reminding her once again of their kiss back at the wheel in their land decades ago. Back then she would have never thought they would ever see each other again. Let alone be able to kiss each other. But that proves that the future is never what it seems. And that was what made Belle happy. But right now, they were going to enjoy the present, and not think about the future just yet. The curse was broken. That meant there were a few things that would need to be sorted out.

She ran her fingers through his hair, and smiled when she felt his hands round her waist. When they broke away she nuzzled along his jaw, smelling the cologne that this new world gave him. He no longer smelt of gold magic. She guessed that was a good thing. That he didn't have any magic.

He put his lips to her ear and whispered, "I love you, Belle."

He felt her smile against his skin. And she whispered back, "I love you too, Rumple."

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed! I love reading your reviews. Some of you really make me laugh at them.
I wish all of you luck for the wait for season 3! And, I hate to remind you, but the even longer wait until our poor Rumplestiltskin and Belle are reunited...
