Rumplestiltskin met Milah long ago and married her because he was honor bound to after she became pregnant with their son. He regretted it almost immediately after Baelfire was born. He would grin and bear it if it were only he that was getting the cold shoulder. But sadly even poor Bae gets no love from his mother. It all comes to a head one night when little Baelfire can take no more. Perhaps his brave boy speaking up means that the door to his awful marriage will come to a close. After all he has to think of what's best for Bae. And its not being with Milah. This is going to be a short story. Multi-chapters in this and in the sequel to come. I'm not sure how many chapters yet, but this is going to be a two "book" tale.
