"There, perfect." Belle said as she finished adjusting her beloved's tie.

"Thank you." Rumplestiltskin replied with small grin.

"And you're welcome." She paused for a moment wanting to choose to her next words carefully. Belle understood he had been through hell in back in the last week, and the last thing she wanted was to put him through any more distress. "So... what now?"

"Well that's a question I haven't had to ask myself. I didn't think I had a future."

Even though Rumplestilitskin's words sounded sad, and hopeless, they were true. For a majority of his life he was consumed with self-preservation for the boy who was destined to kill him that he hadn't thought of anything else. When the boy turned out to be his own grandson... he couldn't do it. Not if it meant it he wanted to keep a good relationship with his own son. Then when Henry got kidnapped and taken to Neverland, he had to face the long lost demon that was his father. He was then fully prepared to die in Neverland.; to keep his family safe from Pan's terror.

Now Pan was trapped, Henry was home, Neal\Balefire was alive, and Belle was back to her old self. He had everything he ever wanted. His lover's question rang true, "What now?"

"But now you do. The boy wasn't your undoing, and neither was Pan. So now you can stop worrying about prophecies and start and start thinking about your future. There's endless possibilities, countless paths take." Told Belle who wanted to turn his comment from sounding hopeless, to making it hopeful.

Rumple knew she was right. "But there's only one of those paths I'm interested in."

"Which one's that?"

"The one where you and I are together."

Just like that, Belle's face began to break in to a tearful smile. He reached out to cup her face in his hands as they and let their lips fall slowly into each other's for a passionate kiss.

This was it. The two had everything they ever wanted. They could stay like this forever. The couple had nothing to fear anymore. No more demons, no more monsters, no more villains. Just them, and their loved ones; what more could they ask for? They were finally able to move forward and let go. Free love each other in peace.

They continued to kiss each other over, and over, making their desire for each other grow hungrier, and stronger. Beginning to feel up and down each other's backside and rough their finger's through one another's hair. As Rumple could since this becoming more than just passionate kissing, he took the liberty of retreating him and Belle into a red cloud of smoke, where the lovers could continue their romantic night at home.
