Hi readers, sorry this is still kind of slow but be patience more exciting things to come. Now we're gonna see Belle and Neal do some bonding. Why? Read and find out!

After being attacked by for the second time by a monster, identical to the one the 3 women and the merry men faced in the woods, the hero's were able to discover what excatly they were, and where they were from; a flying monkey from Oz. Sent down from the Wicked Witch of the West. Belle and Regina had seemed to be the only ones who could figure out the scenario.

Her majesty had also volunteered to find a way to get back inside the castle and put the shield down. No one thought it was a good idea for her to go alone, but she insisted on it. Little did she know that Robin was close behind her. After the way he saved his son, he had to do the honorable thing and help her. Weather she liked it or not.

Once the spell was down, the duo had come back, giving a full report on what they had discovered. The Wicked Witch's name was Zelena, and apparently, is Queen's long lost sister (half if you want to get technical). She is out to destroy Regina, though it doesn't involve killing her. If it doesn't involve her death, no one was sure how this woman wanted to destroy her, but they had a feeling they would soon find out soon enough.

They've been back in the Enchanted Forest for a little over month now. Neal and Belle had begun to form a plan of their of their own to return to the dark castle the minute they were settled at the Regina's. But when Belle had fallen ill, Neal insisted it wait. Although Belle tried to convince him she was fine to travel, he wouldn't he here it. He wasn't going to risk anyone else anyone else he cared about.

Neal wasn't the only one who noticed something was wrong with Belle. Everyone had. She couldn't keep down anything she ate, not even the simplest bowl of soup. Yet she had strangest craving for orange juice. She was unusually tired. Sleeping later than she ever had before. When she saw a single red rose that reminded her of Rumple, she broke into hysterical tears. Even though she knew they had a plan to bring him back. When she fainted after having a discussion about what to do with Zelena, she was rushed to room immediately to be examined by Doc.

Belle awoke in her room with Doc there to tell her the results, trying to convince the dwarf it was nothing more than a simple bug. She knew Snow White had been sick as well the past few weeks, and perhaps caught something from one another, or from the travel they all had been on. But what she had been told, oh she was wrong, dead wrong. Doc tried to offer her some comfort but she insisted he leave, wanting nothing but privacy, time to think, and absorb the new information she was given.

After some time, she heard a knock at the door, knowing it was someone coming to check on her. Belle still didn't feel up to talking to anyone right now, but knew everyone was going find out eventually, she might as well start with the person right outside the door.

Beckoning for the person to come in, it turned out to be Neal. At the sight lover's son she let out a sigh of relief, glad he was going to the first to know.

"Hey." He was the first to speak in a clam, and gentle tone.

Belle looked back at him with a blank expression. "Hey."

"So… what did Doc say?"

She tried to get the words out of her mouth, all that came out though were hot, heavy tears, and she buried her face in her hands. Instantly Neal ran to Belle's side held her in his big, strong arms, that reminded her so much of his father.

"Hey, hey, hey. What is it? What's wrong?" Neal's face went to shock, to horror. "How sick are you? Oh god are you dying?"

She managed to give out a slight chuckle the way he assumed the worse. "No, no Neal. I'm not sick, and I'm not dying. It's just, what Doc told me well-well, it's just really scary."

"Scary how Belle? What is it? What did he tell you?"

She paused for a moment to ready herself. Not just for his reaction but to just simply say the statement. Saying it, was also admitting it was true. Taking a deep breath, she placed one hand on her stomach, and let it out slowly.

"Neal… I'm pregnant."

I know this wasn't as long as the last one but, trust me, the next one will be longer. Hope everyone liked the big bomb dropped on Belle! We're gonna see a lot of different reactions to the pregnancy. Be back with a new chapter soon!
