Belles POV

"Thank you!" I call to Rumple as he makes his way out of the library.
He's brought me a take away coffee from Granny's and is now going back to his shop.
I watch him reach it and sigh.
He really is charming.
Just turning up with a coffee and kiss.
I smile and take a sip.
Mhh, that doesn't taste right.
I whir the cup around in an attempt to mix it.
I take another sip, seeing if it is any better.
No.
My coffee tasted weird this morning,.. Now this one? Must be my taste buds changing because of this one.
I look down at my stomach and rest my free hand on it.
"I can't wait for you to be born little one..." I say.
Almost in response, I double over in pain.
"Ah!" I yell out, clutching my stomach.
I breath in and out, screwing my face up with the pain.
As soon as it arrived, it passed.
I flopped on the floor, getting my breath back.
What is that?
Is the baby ok?
I stood up and grabbed my bag and coat, leaving the library and locking it behind me.
I need to get to the hospital.
Is it safe to drive? Should I ask Rumple?
No, he will worry too much...
Im fine, I can get there myself.
Slipping into my small car, I make my way to the hospital.

Rumples POV
Think i have impressed Belle with a surprise coffee.
She always does sweet things for me, so I decided it was my turn.
Also I need to get her off the trail.
If I'm going to track down Scar and kill him, she can't have any idea what I'm up too.
Closing the window curtains, the shop is in darkness.
Taking a key from my pocket I unlock a large cabinet door.
Reaching in, I use both hands to pull out a large candle.
I found this a couple of days ago and it looks like it will come in handy.
I place it on the counter and open a drawer and retrieved a box of matches.
Slipping one out, I scrape it across the boxs and my face is illuminated.
I light the candle, the shop now lit with a warm flickering glow.
"Scar Taka," I say, blowing out the candle.
As the fire blew out, smoke started to rise and a face appeared.
Scars.
I knew it would be him appearing but I still glared at his reflection.
I look around him, where is he?
The smoke started to fade away so my eyes wildly explored his surroundings.
It looks like some sort of, cave?
No, he's down the mines.

Belles POV
The automatic double doors parted and I walked into the hospital.
I walk over to the desk to see a woman.
She felt my presence and looked up, meeting me with a smile.
"Hi, uh, I think I need to see a doctor?" I said worriedly.
"Okay, what's the problem?" She asked sweetly.
"Umm, well I'm not really sure... You see I'm pregnant-"
As soon as I said that the lady stood up and peered over her desk.
"Oohh!!" She squealed excitedly.
"How far along?" She smiled.
"Quite early, erm, just a month, you see, I've been getting a lot of pain-"
"Oh that'll just be stomach cramps," she laughed.
"I'm not sure they are though... I'm not sure what happens but all of a sudden I'm in a lot of pain, it passes quickly, but it hurts.... I just want to make sure the babies okay," I say.
The woman's face clouded a little.
"Okay, well I'll sign you in and we'll get you seen too," she said, a little less enthusiastic, more worried.
"Let me just grab you a wheelchair," she came bustling out.
"Oh no, I'm ok," I smiled.
The lady sighed a little,
"No, I think you'd better have one..." She mumbled.
Why does she look so anxious?
"Here we go my love," she lowered me into one.
"Really I'm fine," i try to get up.
"No no no, you stay put young lady," she said, wheeling me to the waiting room.
"A doctor will be along in a bit - oh Dr Rose," she spotted a young woman walking past.
I couldn't quite hear what they were saying, but whoever Dr Rose was, she now had a frown on her face.
At one point they both looked at me, then back at each other anxiously.
Oh no...
