-Red-
I come into Granny's and walk to the back booths where the text from Belle said to meet. She hasn't spoken to me in three weeks. Ever since that night she kicked me out i have been trying to get her to speak to me but she won't.
I hope she will finally let me explain everything to her. I walk up and see her sitting in the booth. I smile at her as i walk over before trying to hug her.
"No." she holds up a hand and motions at the bench on the other side.
"Whats going on? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" i ask sitting down.
"The baby is fine." she says before sliding a folder a crossed the table at me.
"Whats this?" i ask opening the folder.
"Belle don't do this please." i beg looking down at the devoice papers.
"I cant do this anymore. I don't trust you."
"What about the baby?" i ask and she rubs her head
"The baby is both of ours. You are still its momma. Your still in its life." she says and i shake my head.
"I want you. i want this to be us." i beg and she closes her eyes.
"There is no us anymore." she says and i look down at the papers.
"I'm not going to sign." i say and she glares at me.
"and i'm not going to forgive you." she says and i spin the pen in my fingers. In a flash i am sitting next to her on the bench.
I take her hand and feel her pulse speed up. She looks at me strangely and i lean forward placing a kiss on her. she pushes be back.
"No."
"I love you."
"No."

Emma and i sit at the park watching Tasha run around being chased by Regina. Snow and David walk up with there little ones.
"Emma!" Little Neal screams running over to Emma. she scoops him up and swings him around in the air.
"Hey little bro!"
"Emma will you help me?" he asks innocently.
"Sure little buddy. Whats up?"
"Mommy wont let me play swords, but your as old as mommy so you will play swords with me?" he asks and i laugh. Emma looks at Snow who is shaking her head.
"I tell you what you go play with daddy and i will work on momma okay?" she says and he nods.
"I knew you would help me." he says sliding down her and running off with David.
"Emma you are not giving you little brother a sword." Snow glares and Emma laughs.
"chill mom. we will find him a wooden one." she says and Snow smirks. I step back and let them talk while i look around. I spot a woman running along the field to the park. A few minutes later she runs up and i smile.
"Well hello there." i greet Lily.
"Hi." she smiles
"I was hoping we would meet again." i say and she chuckles.
"Well can we go to dinner tonight?" She asks with a smirk.
"You absolutely can. she isn't doing anything." Emma says coming up and hugging Lily.
"Thanks Em. Yeah dinner sounds great." i say
"Cool, so ill meet you at the dinner at 8. after i take a shower cause I'm gross." she says and i smirk
"Your beautiful but that sounds good." i say and she kisses my cheek before jogging off.
"Emma!" I screech when she is out of ear shot.
"Already on it." she says
"Mom i have to go with Red to help her get ready for her date tonight." she tells Snow before walking off with me.
-At Red's
"What about this one?" Emma asks holding up a shirt
"I don't know Em." i whine and she sighs launching herself onto the bed next to me.
"whats going on?" she asks leaning on one arm
"Is this a good idea? Am i ready? What about Belle?"
"Snap out of it Red! You will never be ready unless you try. We both know you like her so just go." Emma says tossing a shirt at me.
-Diner 8pm
I take a deep breath before walking into the diner. I see Lily sitting at the bar talking to Granny. I walk over and sit beside her.
"Hello." i say and she smiles brightly at me.
"Hi." she says standing.
"Want to go sit in the back?" i ask and she nods. I glance over my shoulder at Granny who nods at me.
"So how do you like Story-brook?" i ask when we are seated.
"Its small. To small. Especially when one lives with their mom." she says and i laugh.
"How is your relationship with Mal?" i ask and she shakes her head.
"strange at best." she syas and i nod.
"that was the relationship i had with my mom when she was alive." i reply
"Your mom was a wolf also?" she asks and i sigh.
"Yes she was the alpha of a pack. I found her when i was nineteen years old. My granny took me away for my safety." i say and she looks confused
"Granny? this granny?" she asks pointing at the diner
"Yeah that granny." i say and she looks shocked.
"Wow."
-Two hours later
lily and i walk down the street hand in hand. We cut into the park and sit on a bench. The moon is bright up in the sky.
"Listen, i know that you are Belle are mates and that one day she will forgive you. So i just want you to know i'm happy being with you while i have you." she says and i look over at her
"Belle doesn't want me-…"
"She will come back around. It would be impossible for someone that has had you to forget about you." she says and i lean my head on her shoulder
"I really like you." i whisper before lifting my head and looking at her. She smiles and i lean in to kiss her. She meets me in the middle and are lips touch softly. i push against her and she pushes back as the kisses deepen. Its not kissing Belle but its amazing all the same.
I don't know how long we were kissing before my phone rings. I reluctantly pull away and answer my phone shooting her an apologetic look.
"Hello?" i answer
"Hey Red i need you to come over and get Asher." Belle says breathlessly.
"Whats the matter?" i ask snapping out of my kiss haze.
"I am having really bad chest pains." she says and i stand quickly.
"When did it start?" i ask
"It started about ten minutes ago and hasn't stopped." she says and i rub my forehead.
"Don't leave the apartment i'm on my way." i say and Lily looks at me worried. I close my phone and look at her.
"I'm sorry i have to go. Somethings wrong with Belle and Asher." i say
"Okay call me later?" she asks and i nod giving her a hug.
I come running into Belle's apartment a few minutes later. Belle is sitting on the couch with Asher who is asleep. She puts her finger to her lips and i quietly close the door behind me.
"Take her to bed." she says and i nod moving over to the couch. I pick up my baby and carry her upstairs. when i come back downstairs Belle is slouched on the couch.
"Care to explain to me whats going on?" she says sitting up straighter and putting on her cold face.
"Okay so I had a date tonight with Lily." i say sitting down on the coffee table in front of her. her face becomes hard
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because your chest pains happened at the same time i kissed her." i say and her eyes get harder.
"Whats your point?"
"Belle, i have felt that chest pain before. When ever you kiss or do something with someone who is not your mate the other feels the pain." i say and she just stares at me. After a few moments her face softens.
"So you have been feeling that pain for years?" she asks and i rub my face before nodding. she sighs before speaking again.
"So what do we do about it?" she asks while absentmindedly rubbing her chest. I stand and move to straddle her on the couch. she looks at me like i have lost my mind.
"What the hell are you doing?" she asks
"Just trust me." i whisper moving my hand to her mate mark on her collar bone. I rub circles on it and watch her eyes fall closed. I lean forward and kiss it before peaking my tongue out to lick it. When i feel her relax under my body i lean back and slide off of her. I sit back on the table as she slowly opens her eyes.
"All better?" i ask and she lazily nods.
"So what do you do about the chest pain?" she asks when she finds her voice. I shrug as she watches me closely.
"I don't know. i have been just pushing through it." i say and her mouth falls open a little bit.
"Well i'm going to Regina tomorrow and asking her about it." she says and i see the hard Belle is back.
"sorry to have taken you from your date." she says coldly and i sigh.
"No i'm sorry. The last thing i wanted to do was hurt you." i say and she scoffs.
"To late."
"Well i'm going to go. Call me if you or Ash need anything." i whisper leaving the apartment.
-Three Days Later
"You are totally wrong Emma my wolf can out fight you and your magic any day." I yell walking to answer the door.
"Tell her Lily." i say over my shoulder.
"Emma, Red just chill." Lily calls somewhere in the background. I open the door and see Belle standing there with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face.
"Belle-…"
"We need to talk." she says coldly.
"Is something wrong?" i ask and she pushes into my apartment.
"Yeah you lied to me."
