Rumpelstiltskin stood beside Belle, her hand in his. They'd waited. They'd waited so long for this, hoping this could work. And now, here they were, waiting to see if two months of enjoyably hard work had paid off. Belle sat in this chair, her sweaty hand the only sign of her nerves. A doctor sat at the foot of her chair, examining a couple things. For once, it wasn't Doctor Whale, but a nice woman named Azalea. She sat back and pulled off her gloves, throwing them in the trash. She smiled to Rumpelstiltskin and Belle,

"Congratulations; you're pregnant." Rumpelstiltskin clutched his bride's hand and couldn't stop the tears as he looked down at her. Belle was smiling up at him through tears of her own.

"I love you."

"Love you too." Said Rumpelstiltskin as he leaned in and pressed a kiss to her lips, the hand not in hers falling to rest on Belle's belly. In that moment, Rumpelstiltskin made himself a promise that he would protect his Belle and their baby. They would never want for anything and they would fear no one. They were under his protection and therefore untouchable.
