Rumples POV
A few days have passed and I have had the best time of my life.
We have hardly done anything, but it has been perfect.
We have snuggled by the fire, 'explored' the mansion, Belle has even badgered me into a few snowball fights I will admit....
My finger slides across her cheek.
Her eyes are closed but the corners of her mouth start to crease.
"I thought you'd dozed off..." I pulled the blanket up over her more.
She appreciated that and snuggled into me more, her head rested on my bare chest, my arms wrapped around her.
"I was...." She laughs slightly.
I sigh and listen to the fire cracklings beside us.
This is perfect.
I have my Belle, she is safe and she loves me.
I heard her sigh and look down at her.
"Are you cold my love?" I ask, well, she is only wearing a light material bed gown.
"No....I'm great..." The fire is keeping her nice and warm, and the candles she's placed all around the room might be helping too.
"Good..." I kiss her head.
God I love her so much.
I never want to leave this mansion. Want to hide away up her forever, not have anyone dragging me away from Belle every 5 minutes....
But I do need to sort Mo out. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I have to do something. He can't get away with what he said to Belle. Everything's he's done to her. At the same time I need to make sure Scar stays far, far away. I swear as long as I'm alive, nobody is going to hurt my Belle ever again. Whatever I do, Belle can't find out. I don't want to lie to her and upset her, but i can't let this slide.
"What are you thinking?" Belles head shifted and she looked up at me.
I take a moment.
"Life..." I'm technically not lying to her, I was thinking about life, and how to end others -but.... mostly life....
"Oh," she nodded.
"Well, I'm thinking you need more bubbly," she smiled, lifting herself from me.
As her warm body left mine, a cold draft made me shiver.
I almost felt sad as she sat up.
I sigh and drag myself up.
"Here we go..." She crawls back over and hands me a glass, pouring in champagne.
She puts it down and starts to pour herself some sparkling water.
Damn, she hasn't had the potion yet today...
Hopefully it's still working...
I gulp, trying not think of the baby in her stomach.
"Cheers..." She clinked my glass.
I took a sip from my glass and watched her do the same.
She sat staring into the fire. The flames illuminating her flawless features.
"What are you thinking....?" I repeated her question softly.
She sighed and looked at me again.
"How wonderful our life together is going to be," she smiled, looking dreamily into my eyes.
I nodded.
She placed her hand on her stomach.
"Now all we need is for this little one to come along..."
As she mentioned the baby I tensed up, but tried not to let her notice.
She did.
"Rumple?" She cocked her head to one side.
"Yes dear?" I tried to smile.
She frowned.
"You don't look happy?" She said innocently.
"No, of course I am," another lie.
Why can't I be honest with her?
Surely I can tell her how I feel?
She wouldn't hate me? Would she? It's Belle!
"Rumple..." She inched closer.
I sighed before starting.
"It's just... How can we be sure.... That little'un, is mine? I mean, with my luck... What if, it is... Scars...? I dont think I could bring up another mans baby Belle, I, I just couldn't, knowing what he did to you, knowing that little life, isn't mine..." I opened up.
She was silent.
"I told you, whatever happens....this baby, is yours," she said sternly.
"I know but-"
"But what? Haven't I made it clear that you are the only father this baby will ever know," her voice started to get louder.
"Yes you said that, but when the babies older, he, she, is going to find out, and then..." I chocked a little.
"Then what?"
"They will hate me...."
She sighed.
"Of course they won't!" She groaned, frustrated.
I shook my head.
She doesn't understand.
She doesn't get it.
Whatever happens we know for definant that the baby is hers, but me?
We could get a paternity test, but deep down, do I really want to know?
"Rumple, you are going to be the best father this world has to offer," she placed her hand on my cheek.
"How do you know that?" I shrugged sadly.
"...I just do...."
"That's not good enough..."
She's trying to make me feel better. Why don't i?
I need some air.
"I'll be back in a second..."
I stand up, slipping on my shirt.
"Rumple? Where are you going?" She looks up at me.
"Uh...I'll be back in a second...."
She doesn't try to follow me and just sits there.
I can feel her watching me until I go through the double doors and they bang behind me.
We didn't just have a fight? Did we?
No of course not...
I am slightly annoyed because she doesn't understand. All she sees is the good, but there is no point ignoring my dark parts...
I unlock the double doors and the cold icy air hits me straight away.
I slump down onto the frozen steps and stare out, my breath spiralling in front of me.
Then suddenly there's a pain in my left shoulder.
I can feel the cold hard ground smacking into me.
Then
darkness.........
