Nine months later Belle and Forte were in their bedroom, and Belle was playing a song she had thought of when a sharp pain stroke in her stomach.

"Belle! What happened? Is it…?" Forte began to asked, worry seeping into his features.

Belle looked up at him and nodded, then whispered, "The baby."

Forte's eyes widened and called Fife's name. When he ran into the room, Forte requested that he get Mrs. Potts and whoever else he could.

He ran back very quickly with Mrs. Potts, Babette, and another female servant he recognized. Unfortunately for them Adam followed closely behind them as well.

"Forte, Adam, Fife, out!" Mrs. Potts shouted.

Fife left willingly, but Adam and Forte looked at Belle, not wanting to leave her.

"Boys you need to leave. It won't be a pretty sight," she repeated, slightly gentler this time.

Babette escorted them out then shut the door behind them. As they stood outside, they heard Belle scream with pain and Mrs. Potts giving instructions to her, and the two girls who were helping. After what seemed like eternity the screaming and Mrs. Potts voice stopped. Then a tiny voice was heard crying.

"All right you two, you can come in now," Mrs. Potts allowed them after a few moments.

Forte walked in, followed by Adam and saw Belle laying on the bed with her eyes closed and her chest moving in an ever so slight motion. Mrs. Potts was standing nearby, holding a small body in a pink blanket.

"Congratulations! You are now the parents of a beautiful little girl," she felicitated him.

Forte walked over to Mrs. Potts and she placed his newborn baby in his hands. "She's beautiful," he whispered. "How is Belle though?"

"Just tired. We should leave her to rest," Mrs. Potts advised.

"Very well, but I at least want to stay with her. If no one is with her when she wakes up, she's bound to go looking for someone," Forte pointed out.

"Okay. After all, you do have a point," she agreed. Mrs. Potts then left the room with Babette and the other servant, leaving Belle, Adam, and Forte alone.

"Do you even love her?" Adam asked quietly when they were finally alone.

"On the day she found this room and I saw her, I instantly fell in love with her. I knew she loved you though, so that's why I tried to get rid of her. I was jealous that you of course would end up with her." Forte was quiet for a moment. "You know she questioned whether you loved her for most of your marriage."

"She did?" Adam asked, horrified that she would doubt his love for her for so long and not say a word.

"Yes she did." Forte stroked Belle's cheek gently with his hand. He then kissed her lips and watched her roll over and fall into a deeper sleep than before. "The one thing I did not expect was for her to fall in love with me though, especially after what I did."

"That part still amazes me," Adam admitted.

Neither of them spoke, watching either Belle or the baby.

"Well, I guess I'd better go now," Adam sighed and turned to leave.

"Master?" Forte started out.

"Yes?"

"If- If Belle ever wanted to go back to you, for whatever reason, would you take her back?" he asked carefully.

"Yes I would. Also I would understand why she left and I wouldn't hold a grudge," Adam replied.

"Hm, interesting."

"Why do you ask?"

"No reason. I was just curious."

"Oh," Adam sighed heavily, and then left the room.

…

A day or so later Belle woke up to see that Forte was nearby, playing his piano.

"I love that one," she whispered.

Even though her voice was just a whisper, Forte spun around instantly, and rushed over to her.

"My rose blossom. I am glad you're awake. I was getting more and more worried with each hour that has passed," Forte expressed in a short amount of time.

"How long was I out?"

"About a day, maybe longer. Mrs. Potts told me it was normal for women to be out for a while, but typically they don't stay asleep so long."

"I heard two voices talking before. I didn't hear everything too clearly but I hear bits and pieces I could make out. I think I heard, 'come back' and 'for whatever reason'. I also heard, 'would understand why' and 'wouldn't hold a grudge'." Belle replayed what she had heard, a certain uncertainty in her voice.

"Ah yes, that was the master and I talking," he confirmed what she heard.

"What was the full conversation about?" she inquired.

"We were just talking about what would happen if you decided that you didn't love me anymore and were to go back to Adam."

Belle's eyes widened with surprise some. "What would happen?"

"He told me he would take you back and would understand why you left," Forte conveyed truthfully.

"Ha. Yeah right," she scoffed, not believing it for a minute.

"I know it does seem unlikely. But that's what he told me," Forte acknowledged.

"I'll always love you though," she whispered, placing a bit of emphasis on the 'you'.

"Good. If you decided you didn't, I'd have to throw you down onto the bed and remind you why you fell for me in the first place," Forte growled playfully.

They layed together for an hour or two and talked a bit, mostly enjoying each-other's company.

"Where is our baby?"

"Probably with Mrs. Potts or Babette. Mrs. Potts!" he called just loud enough to get her in their room, nothing like how Adam would shout out to his servants.

"Yes maestro? Is Belle okay?"

"She is fine Mrs. Potts. She just wants to see our baby."

Mrs. Potts left the first part of the room at a fast-paced walk and in a few minutes brought their baby girl to them from the nursery that had been made next door.

"She's beautiful," Belle murmured, holding their baby in her arms.

"Yes she is," Forte consented. "Just like her mother."

Forte kissed his wife hungrily, and then got into their bed with her and their baby. All three went to sleep, tired from the events that had gotten them to where they were.

Aw. The end. I think that was a nice ending. All three going to sleep in the bed that started it all *snicker*. No but seriously, I really liked the ending. Also I decided to let you all name her what you want.

Longest chapter.

One more thing: does anyone happen to know any information about the ancient egyptian "festival of Opet". I need more information to complete my other story (which is going to be a future fanfiction), and there isn't much that I can find online.
