Belle was standing out on the balcony getting some fresh air in her night gown and a robe. She hardly ever gets any sleep with her daughter gone for so long, all she does is worry about her. No way of knowing if her daughter was safe after all these years. No way of seeing her daughter's life or what she had to go through because of The Enchantress. So many nights, she sneaks to the balcony to think or to look at the stars to not disturb Adam. It's been 21 years since their daughter was taken from them. 21 years awaiting her return and to finally be reunited as a family.

Belle let out a sad sigh as she pondered about her daughter. She looked back to the bed where she saw her husband peacefully sleeping. She smiled. He had been so supportive all these years without their daughter. Always helping her up when she felt down. Always reassuring her that their daughter will return to find them and they will all be together again. Always making sure she ate though she never felt like eating. Adam tried his very hardest to make sure he didn't lose his Belle.

Just as she was about to walk back to the bed to try and get some sleep she heard something coming from the forest. So she turned back around and walked to the edge of the balcony to see what was going on. Belle squinted her eyes to adjust to the darkness and make out what was happening. She heard wolves growling and a lot of leaves rustling and branches breaking. Then she finally saw two wolves chasing after something. Belle gasped. It was a girl they were chasing after. The wolves were gaining on the girl almost about to pounce on her when the girl luckily made it past the gate practically falling through it. The girl fell to the ground and let out a groan and slammed the gate closed with her foot. Belle's heart stopped when she saw the girl wasn't moving to get up.

So she quickly turned around and ran to the bed to wake up Adam.

Adam was in a deep sleep when he felt someone shaking him awake.

"Adam? Adam, wake up!" Belle said panic in her voice.

Adam opened his tired eyes rubbing the drowsiness out of them. He saw Belle sitting next to him on the bed.

"Belle?" He sat up "What's wrong?"

"I was standing out on the balcony because I couldn't sleep and I saw wolves chasing after this girl and they.. they almost got her but she came to the castle and she slammed the gate shut and hit her head and.." She took a breath to steady her breathing "Adam, I think she's hurt... We have to go help her."

She quickly got up from the bed to find her shoes. Adam stunned from this news didn't react for a moment he then shook his head and got out of bed. He rang the servant's bell and was quickly trying to get dressed. Just as he was slipping on his shoe he heard a knock at the door. He answered the door to see Jaq, one of the night shift servants.

"Jaq, go wake Cogsworth and tell him to get the doctor." Jaq nodded his head and started to bow.

"No time for that, just go. Hurry!" Adam said as he was finishing buttoning up his shirt and he threw on his cloak. Belle pulled her cloak on and they were out the door running to get to the girl. They went to the front entrance and saw the girl laying right behind the gate.

Belle hurried her pace and ran to the girl kneeling down next to her. Belle cupped the girl's cheek and looked to Adam "Is she okay?" Belle voice filled with worry.

Adam knelt down on the other side of the girl and put his index and middle finger on her wrist to check for a pulse. He looked to Belle "Yes, she'll be okay but we need to get her inside and out of the cold." Adam took off his cloak and wrapped the girl in it and picked her up in his arms, one arm behind her neck and the other under her knees.

The couple both walked in silence back towards the castle. Belle spoke first "Adam, do you think she's.." She looked towards her husband tears forming in her eyes.

Adam gave his answer without her finishing her question "I..I don't know Belle." He said breathlessly staring at the girl in his arms.'This could be my daughter in my arms.'He thought to himself.'We may finally all be together again.'

Just as they entered the castle Cogsworth was waiting for them with the doctor.

"Master, what happened? Who is this?" Cogsworth said looking at the girl in Adam's arms in his confused state.

Adam just stared at the girl in his arms without realizing he was being spoken to.

"We don't quite know yet." Belle answered for her husband.

Cogsworth then held out his hand to motion Adam to take the girl to Belle's old room for the doctor to take a look at the girl. Adam laid the girl on the bed and just stood there with Belle, neither of them wanting to have the girl out of their sight. Belle then tugged on his sleeve to lead them out of the room for the doctor to do his job.

Belle and Adam both sitting on a bench just outside the room. Belle laid her head on Adam's shoulder, both silent lost in thought. The doctor came out and they both stood up immediately.

"How is she?" Belle said quickly.

"She'll be okay, Your highness. She was just knocked out, she'll wake up in a couple hours. She has quite a lot of bruising and scratches all over her. I couldn't tell you what from exactly. But someone should be in there with her when she does wake up. I'm sure she will be wondering where she is."

"Thank you." Adam nodded. The doctor then bowed and walked away.

Adam then looked at Belle as she sheepishly opened the door to see the girl still unconscious on the bed. Adam went to sit down on the love seat across from the bed. Belle went to pull the blankets over the girl so she could stay warm. Belle then sat on the bed next to the girl and moved a stray hair behind the girl's ear. Belle stared at the girl looking over her features. Thick dark brown hair, full lips that were cracked and bleeding from the cold, small nose, flushed cheeks, heart shaped face. Belle was sure this was their daughter.

"Adam...this has to be her." Belle said breathlessly then walking to her husband "It's been 21 years and a girl randomly finds the castle dressed in different clothing with looks similar to ours."

Belle sat down next to her husband and looked him in the eyes. "Adam, she has my nose and your lips and my thick hair and... I'm...I'm almost positive it's her, It has to be Adelle." Belle finished tears hanging in her eyes.

Adam took Belle's hands and kissed her knuckles "Well there's only one way to find out, my love." He looked Belle in the eyes and wiped a tear from her cheek. "We ask her for her name when she wakes up."

Belle nodded her head and kissed him on the cheek and gave a weak smile. They both made themselves comfortable on the love seat while they wait for the girl to wake up.
