Adam sat stunned at what had just happened staring blankly at the floor. The Enchantress just took their child to another world for 21 years. No chance to say goodbye. Their daughter won't even know who they are.'No, this has to be a dream. This can't be happening.'He was so deep in thought and shock he forgot Belle sitting right next to him. He looked to her, her state being the same as his. Belle was shocked with disbelief. Adam turned to Belle and put his hand on her cheek. Belle now sobbing into his hand. How could he let this happen he was suppose to protect his family no matter what.

"Belle.. I'm so.. sorry." He said trying not to let his voice show he was crying but failed. He pulled Belle close to him and held her tight and stroked her hair and just kept whispering'I'm so sorry'into her ear as she sobbed trembling in his arms. They were both broken, both left hopeless and defeated. Belle buried her face into his chest as she cried. He let her cry for a while, they both cried for a long time. As their crying settled down Adam broke the silence "Belle... this is all my fault.." He hung his head in shame. "You shouldn't have fallen in love with me, I should've just been left alone forever. Then Circe would've never came back and all of this wouldn't have happened to you and you would be happy with someone else and have children you could keep."

Belle brought her head up in shock and wiped a tear from her cheek "Adam, if i had a chance to change ever meeting you. I wouldn't take it. We were meant to meet each other and meant to be together. I love you so much. Yes, what just happened was absolutely terrible and heartbreaking..." Belle trying to finish strong but her voice cracking from the tears stinging her eyes. "But...but I've realized it could've been a lot worse. She could've been cursed or taken from us to never see her again." Belle took her hand and placed it on his cheek so he would look up at her "But Adam, we will see her again and we will all be together." She gave him a weak smile, trying her hardest to stay strong. They were both broken she knew that, so one of them had to stay strong and not let them fall into despair. She kissed him though their faces were wet and noses were runny. She kissed him passionately so they could feel something through their numbness. Adam ran his hand to the back of her neck and made the kiss deeper. He knew they had to stay strong Belle was right, she was always right. They had to stick together and get stronger for their daughter's return. This was just another obstacle they had to face together and stick through it.

As the kiss drew on there was a knock on the door. They broke apart and Adam wiped the tears on Belle's face away and gave her a small smile. He stood up and wiped his own face with his shirt sleeve before answering the door. He answered the door to find Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, and Cogsworth standing on the other side their faces happy and smiling awaiting to meet their princess. As soon as they saw Adam's face red from crying and the tears still hanging in his eyes their looks of happiness quickly turned to worry.

"My Dear, what's the matter?" Mrs. Potts said instantly then she looked past Adam to see Belle on the floor with no baby in site. "Oh my goodness what happened here?" Mrs. Potts finished her voice shaky. Adam just hung his head he didn't even know where to start or how to tell his friends what had just happened. He motioned them all to come in and Mrs. Potts went over to Belle and helped her off the floor back onto the bed. Belle moved as though her spirit was taken from her as if the lights were on but no one was home. Adam cleared his throat "It was The Enchantress she... she uhh she came and took the baby." Adam's lump in his throat grew the moment he said out loud what had just happened he looked at Belle to see her too still shaken up. Adam continued "She said that she has foreseen our daughter to grow up to be selfish and unkind like i was.." Adam turned away and looked out the window. "The Enchantress took her to a different world till her 21st year. She will return to us if she has proven she had changed." Adam then stood in silence and looked to the floor.

Belle started to cry again she covered her face with her hands. Mrs. Potts came over and sat down on the bed and took one of her hands from her face and smiled weakly at Belle to comfort her. "Oh my, this is awful. I'm so sorry. You two certainly don't deserve this after everything you two have been through" Her voice sincere.

Adam still looked out the window they all could tell he was still very upset. Lumiere walked over to Adam "Mon Dieu, Master you cannot blame yourself for what has happened here." Lumiere said as if reading Adam's mind. "It's all my fault, I'm suppose to protect my family how could I let this happen." Adam said with anger. He could never forgive himself for this.

Cogsworth stepped forward "You did everything you could Sire, The Enchantress did say she will return by her 21st year." He said as he put a reassuring hand on Adam's shoulder.

"Don't give up hope, Dear." Mrs. Potts said to Adam then turned to Belle "The both of you, The Princess will return and you both must be strong for her. You both have been through so much you can't give up now." Adam nodded. Mrs. Potts was right. He can't give up hope he must be strong for Belle. She needs him more than ever right now.

The next morning Adam woke up his head pounding from the night before. It felt as if it were a dream or a nightmare really. But no it was very much real. He stretched out wanting to feel Belle's warmth next to him for comfort but never bumped into her. He sat up confused, Belle wasn't next to him. He got up quickly and got dressed to find her. He walked out of their room down the hall but before he could reach the end of it he saw the nursery door open. He peeked his head inside to find Belle still in her nightgown in a robe just starring at the crib in front of her just running her hands over the wood. She let out a sad sigh and tears started running down her cheeks. Adam felt a pain in his heart seeing his wife so sad.

"Belle.." He said as he entered the room. Belle didn't turn to look at her husband she just continued to stare at the crib. "This is where she's suppose to be right now, this is where she should be." her voice a little angry, she continued "We worked so hard to be the best for her, we read all those books and prepared only to have her taken from us.." her voice now cracked from the tears stinging her eyes, she turned to her husband "It's torture just standing here not knowing if she's okay. How could we let this happen?" Tears quickly came tumbling down her red cheeks.

He rushed over to her and pulled her in quickly and he held her tightly. Her crying quickly turned to sobbing as soon as she was safe in her husband's arms. "Shhh my love, everything will be alright. I promise you we will get through this." He pulled back and gently cupped Belle's face with his hands and stared into her eyes. "Belle, she's going to return to us and she will be perfect then we can give her the life we always wanted for her. If this is how it has to be so be it. We will make the best out of it and get through this together and we will wait here for her return." He smiled at her and she smiled back through her tears. He pulled her in for another hug.

'Dear God, I hope she's going to be okay.' He silently hoped.
