Trouble With the Golds (Abi)

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold had returned home, he was eager to see his family after his dealings in town not that he had a great deal of them, yet to come home was always a comfort that helped to ease any pain or grief in his heart. He keep with his suits & all that as before, yet with magic back he did not have to use his can a comfort more so than before, since it allowed him to do more things.

As he entered the home, he closed the door before he moved to see where Abi was, he called out to her, just first he did not hear her answer he set his cane down in the dinning room before heading to the kitchen to see if he saw her there, should he not then he would mealy go threw the house until he found her.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

It had not been a snap decision. In fact it had been long coming. Ever since Belle had remembered who she was...more so, who Mr. Gold was. The stunt with the Dragon had driven it home. She was supposed to be at the school today but after her husband had left to go to the shop, Belle had started to pack. She felt bad doing this this way but really felt it would be for the best. After she was all packed, Belle sat at the dinning room table and wrote a letter.

I don't know if this will come as much of a surprise to you. Things have changed greatly. I know you must be able to see that. You have not changed. And though I love you, I can not be a part of what you do any longer. I am going to my father's.

Belle.

As she wrote, tears formed in her eyes and before she could wipe them away, one fell onto the paper making a bit of the ink run. Belle letter the letter on the table before his seat and then took up her bags. She left the house after one last look around and then began to walk to her fathers house. She knew her husband would know where it was.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold did not see Belle, yet as he came back into the dinning room he saw the paper, he was not sure how he missed it before hand yet he had. He moved to read it & could not say he did not feel the anger as it flickered threw him, more becouse of the way Belle came abot telling him of there issues.

He knew they had some, few did not he had changed some yet it was clear not enogh for Belle, he closed his eyes at the though of losing her again, even if it was only a few days or moments it ripped at him, he loved her he never said ne did not at least since in this world.

For a few moments as the words sank in he had to hold onto his chair so that he did not fall for the pain he felt, he did not know where this really put them, yet he would do what he could to insure that she was safe even if, he hated to think of it with out him he would insure she had money, as she needed.

He was glade she had not said she wanted a devorce, at least not that he knew of yet, but he would have to speak with Belle as soon as he could, he would not allow her to walk out of his life, like the last time. He could not part with her in such a way again, he wanted to prove that he did love her & care for her.

Once he was able to think & move with out fearing falling or that, he headed out of the house before getting in his car & heading for Bells fathers house, he knew it well too well, yet he needed to speak with Belle & it could not wait.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Moe had of course been surprised when he answered the knock at his front door and opened it to find Belle standing there on his front porch. His only daughter and the joy of his life. "Belle?" Moe said softly now. He knew her name here was Abi but since he had gotten his memory back, Belle was the name her used.

Moe bent forward and took the bags from his daughter. His eyes moved quickly looking for Gold. He had not been exactly scared of Gold as Rumpelstiltskin but he certainly was here in Storybrook. He would never forget Gold's beating in the cabin. His shoulder and arm still hurt sometimes because of it. At the time, he had not understood the true reason for the attack. Now of course he knew more.

"Belle, what are you doing here?" Moe asked now as he stepped back and let his daughter into the house. He closed the door and then followed Belle into the living room where she stood before the couch. Belle turned towards him again. She could feel the tears in her eyes again as she looked at him. Moe put down the bags and he moved forward to put his arms around the woman. He pulled her to him and then guided her to sit with him on the couch. Belle had willed herself all the way over here to be strong but now the tears broke free and Belle found herself telling her father everything.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Rumple had no idea really how much time had passed since, Belle had left there home & as much as he would like have her come back with him once he got to Moes house, he was not sure if it would happen. That was one thing he knew about Belle should was his equel in so many ways & was one of the few that dared to stand aginst him on any issue & not worry of being harmed, she had been that way much even before they had loved one another.

Once he got the Moes home he had to take a moment to get his temper more under control, not so much at Belle just at Moe for he knew that they well did not see eye to eye & harming the man more than he had aready & in frount of Belle would do no good, he did not wish to push her away even more, since he did not really know what he did to upset her to start.

It likly was a great deal of things, just that he though he was pleasing her in his changes he made, yet he was finding that was a mistake, it was clear he had to change more & that he knew was not going to be so simple for him, yet if it was what Belle wanted he would try. How ever he did not know if trying would be enogh, he was not an easy man to love he knew that & he was very lucky to have Belle that could do so, it was just until he knew what was expected he could not really plain for any thing.

It took him only a short time to get himself enogh under cotrol, before getting out of the car & heading for Moe's house, he moved up the steeps his cane in hand, once he came to the door he knocked. Desiding to play nice for the moment & do the right thing & not as he wanted to do.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Moe had seen Gold's SUV pull up in front of the house and instantly his attitude changed. He paled slightly and swallowed hard. His right hand came up seemingly absentmindedly and rubbed his left shoulder. Belle looked out the window herself as her husband moved up the walkway. She stood now and Moe took her hand in his.

Moments later, there was a knock at the door. "You don't have to answer it." Moe told her. Belle glanced at her father. "He's still my husband." She said softly. "And we both know his temper. He won't hurt me." Or so she thought Belle told herself.

She moved slowly towards the door and then taking a deep breath and trying to wipe the tears from her eyes and failing, Belle opened the door. Moe had followed her as far as the hallway and then stood there. Belle was dressed in a black short sleeved dress that came down to her knees and hugged her curves. Black high heels were on her feet. She slowly met her husband's eyes now.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Robert was not sure who would answer the door one part of him wanted Moe to just so he could have someone to yell at more easily, the other wanted Belle to if to insure she was alright & safe. When the door opened, his heart even though it hurt felt the ping of feeling better to know she was a live & well even if she was not happy with him.

At seeing Belle in such a moment he was lost on what to say, for before hand when speaking with others he did not care & now he did, he wanted to please Belle yet it was clear he was failing, so he knew that he would have to bow to her want for change, he just was not sure how she wanted him to change, maybe not the right words yet he had been the way he was for to long & even with the want to please it was not so easy, for he was fighting his darker self the part that keep him form being a weak cripple & coward that was a spinner.

How ever his heart also feel at seeing her tears & with that he spoke "Belle?" His hand with out the cane moved to wipe her tears away in instanced, with out thinking how it would go, if she would want his touch right now & so on.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Belle saw the look on his face as he gazed back at her. It made more tears form in her eyes. Belle was aware of her father behind her. He was somewhat of a comfort for her right now. Her concentration was pulled back to her husband however when he spoke her name. "Belle?" She blinked when his hand came up and her head arched away from him for a split moment thinking that he meant to slap her.

His gentle touch to her face however brought a so ftand somewhat shy smile. Her eyes dropped from his and she stood awkwardly. Belle did not know if she should invite him in or not. It was not her home after all. Moe took that moment to step up beside his daughter and place a strong hand on her lower back. "Let your husband in, Belle." He said softly in her ear, his voice relaxing. Belle nodded slightly and then slowly stepped back from the door

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold felt a pang of pain, knowing he was the reason for Bells pain something that gave him no comforted, he some how had expected Moe to tell him to leave with there history family or not, he knew he had hurt him when he beat him the last time yet, even with his reasons he never asked the man to forgive him he just desisted it was best not brought up. So the man telling Belle to let him in, was a surprise something he did well to mask yet it was still a surprise how ever he wondered if it was because he wanted him in his house really or it was more because he knew he could not really stop him.

How ever for now playing nice was working well for him, at least for now any way how ever he was still part beast his temper only proved it & really for not to challenge him, yet it was also a fact that the only one that could make him do anything he was not really in the mode to do was Belle, she always had the power how ever it only grew over time & even after there moment of her having his dagger to make him bow to her wishes, it did not change that she wound him around her finger & had him ensnared before he knew what had happened & before he could stop it.

With Belle moving away he entered Moe & Belles home, he had a sinking feeling she would be here for some time not that it set well with him, yet he would excepted it if that was Belles wish ups or down fights or not he just wanted her to be happy & he had allot of time to make up for in the time they had been parted, yet it was clear he was still failing her, more so now when he was making mistakes, after mistakes & that went on & on, most the time he did not care, at least until Belle came in & he found she held his heart now he found that he only cared when he made a mistake that would displease her, yet it was clear he still did try, even if it did not always look it.
