Children of The Dark One: Rumbelle

Talk

The next day Gold stood in his shop alone. The bell above the door rang. He looked up to see Marion walk in.

"Can I help you." He didn't want to talk to her. He tried to keep control of his emotions.

"I just wanted to talk." She said walking up to the counter.

"About?" He tried not to make eye contact.

"Well, lots of things. Why don't we start with the child?"

"My children are non of your concern dearie."

"I'm just curious why he looks like that."

"I never did show you my true form, did I?" He lifted his hand and was surrounded in purple smoke. When it was gone he stood there. He wore a creepy smile, his cloths where the ones he wore in the Enchanted Forest. His skin was gold and scaly, and his eyes where green and brown.

"Does this answers your questions dearie." His high pitched voice echoed in the shop. Then he giggled, and he waved his hand turning himself back into Mr. Gold.

Marion stared in astonishment, and honestly, fear. "The boy looks like you."

"Yes, he does. Anything else you want to pry about?" He asked annoyed.

"For now that's all. We will talk later."

"Why would I talk to you?"

"You just dropped me. I think I deserve, at least that." She turned around and left.

After work Rumple went home to his wife. Snow White was there helping with the babies. Gold went and took his son from Belle, "why don't you go take a shower and get some sleep?"

"Thank you!" She kissed him on the cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too dear." He smiled, watching his beautiful wife run up the stairs to go relax.

Gold walked over to the couch and sat down. His son started crying. "Shhh shh, It's okay. I know." The babies crys came to a stop.

"You are really good with him." Snow sat down on the other end of the couch.

"Yes, well I'm the only one who understands." He looked down at his sleeping son.

"What do you mean?"

"Looking like this. Being different." He couldn't believe he left himself so vulnerable. It was stupid, but she just nodded.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Gold woke to the screams of a child, and then another. "I'll get it." He rolled out of bed and went to check the babies.

When he got to the babies room he went up to the first cradle. "Shh dear." He picked up his daughter who was still crying.

Then he proceeded to the second cradle. His son had stopped crying, witch was weird. He looked down in the crib, but the baby was gone.
