Twice the Family {Rumbelle and Rosaline sequel}

Chapter 16~Evening Out

Rosaline's PoV

Tonight I would be babysitting my baby brother and my two infants while Belle and Rumple went out for the evening. It was no problem and I looked forward to having Chip around. Having not seen him much since the Felix episode I was determined to make sure that he knew everything was alright with Rosy.

Rumple's PoV

This evening was perfect. There was a light flurry and the decorations around town reflected off of each snowflake as it fell. I wanted to take Belle somewhere much more romantic than Granny's. I'd found an Italian restaurant on the other side of town, Bella Notte.

"Rumple are you ready?" I flicked ny hand and was dressed in one of my many suits.

"As always dear."

"I'll meet you and Chip in the car. There's one more thing I have to do."

"Papa I bet I can beat you to the car! Even buckled up faster!"

"Oh can you now? One..two..three! Go!"

His little legs stumbled on a step, in my slight jog I caught him, pulling him into my arms.

"Aw Papa. I was about to beat you."

"You were about to fall, and you still beat your old Papa."

I warmed the Cadillac up. Chip sat eager as ever in his seat. Belle emerged from the house. Her coat still warm from the indoors.

"Shall we?" Sharing a quick peck on the lips I drove to drop off Chip.

"Rosy!" He was to the front door before I could open the door for Belle. The poor door, his knocks were so frantic.

"Oops. Are you lost little boy?"

"Rosy it's me silly! Chip!" She ruffled his hair.

"You think I wouldn't know?" As we walked inside the smell of cookies was quite noticeable. Rosaline smiled then picked up Chip, she really does seem motherly for so young a woman. For anyone to be considered my daughter.

"Thank you again for babysitting. Now Chip be good for Rose alright? She's got enough with the twins, you help her out okay?"

"Yes Mama."

"We'll be fine. You two go and enjoy yourselves you hear?"

Stepping into the car I held Belle's hand on the console.

The lights were a desirable low, just enough to set a certain mood, and that factor only excelled by my wife in front of me.

"One chicken parmesan for the lady, and ziti for you sir."

The dishes were very warm and quite delicious.

"What is it about alfredo sauce and breadsticks that's so irresistible?" Belle reached for her second one so far.

"Perhaps it's more of this world's most powerful magic." We both shared a quick snicker. Her laugh..

"I don't know what it is but it's certainly filling."

¤¤¤¤

I'd decided to show Belle how to spin. I think it may be the wine talking but she's always been curious about the hobby I did so often. Perhaps she would enjoy it. I sat her down at the wheel.

Belle's PoV

His arm around me, the soft light of candles, low voices..

"Ow!" I'd pricked my own finger being completely careless. Rumple took my hand.

"Here, can't have my love fall into an eternal sleep.." Once he'd kissed my finger, my heart couldn't take any more of the look in his eyes. Naughty thing tonight aren't you?

I pulled his warm body to me.

"Why don't we take up more.. pleasurable activities?"

Our lips locked in a perfect puzzle, murmurs whispered in the air for no one but us to hear, no sounds but the ones we created were audible. We went together. We belonged together. The combination of us two was perfect, we were meant to be together as one, for all eternity.
