Belles POV
I watched him sleep. His chest rising and falling gently.
I sigh and stroke his face.
How could a man, with so much love inside of him, have so much hate as well?
He can't keep doing this...
Especially with his child on the way.
I placed a hand on my stomach.
If anything bad ever happens he can't go lashing out, especially with the baby around. What if the baby sees and picks up his 'habits'.
I love him so much. And so will this baby, but he needs to know there are better ways he can protect us.
I heard the click of the door open and I looked up.
Dr Whales head poked through the door.
"How's he doing?" He lowered his voice.
"He's fine, a little sore, but fine," I smile.
"Good, oh and um Belle?" He said, starting to leave them stopping himself.
"I believe congratulations are in order," he winked.
What? How does he know?
Then I realise my hand is still rested on the middle of my stomach, oh.
"Thank you..." I laugh a little.
"And I'm sorry...it must have been awful, when he told you what I told him, but hey! You are expecting and that's all that matters," he nodded to me.
"Wait, wait, told me what?"
"About when you were in here? How your injuries meant that you would no longer be able to have children, he was so distraught, I thought he wasn't going to tell you! well, guess I was wrong! A medical miracle! A nurse will be along in a bit to check on him," he said, before shutting the door behind him.
What?
I couldn't have children?
I stared down at my stomach and frowned, then at Rumple.
And he didnt tell me?
Then how....how am I?
Then it dawned on me and I sank back into my chair.
Magic.

Rumples POV
"I'm fine, look! Can I just go home?" I sat up and ignored the slight pain when Doctor Whale came in to examine me for the hundredth time.
"Hmm..." He thought.
"I will make sure he stays on the sofa when he gets there," she smiled at me.
No I will be looking after her.
"Yes, indeed. You still need to rest-"
"And I will make sure that happens," Belle fought my corner politely.
"....fine, I'll just get the papers and we can sign you out," he said, shuffling out of the room.
"At last..." I sighed, as Belle stood up from the chair next to me.
She laughed a little.
"Mhh...."
She looked a little, off?
"Are you alright my love?" I ask.
She turns around, her arms above her head, doing her hair up into a ponytail.
"Mhum," she smiled, not convincingly enough though.
"...belle?"
She walked back over and sat on the edge of my bed.
My hands instinctively heading straight for her waist.
"I'm fine....just, hospitals freak me out...that's all," she sighed, smiling at me.
"Ok, now, let's get you dressed and off home," she said, jumping off the bed.
"So, I sent Ruby home and she picked you up this suit, but I also asked her for some comfy clothes because I didn't know which you'd prefer?" She bit her lip.
I laughed slightly.
She really does care.
"The suit is perfect darling," I smile appreciatively.
