Synopsis: The phone in the library had always been silent, until one day it started ringing. Belle French answers it and discovers that life really can turn on a dime – or in this case a wrong number.
Note: Have some fluff before the episode tonight đ Thereâs definitely going to be another chapter or two, but the next thing Iâm planning on posting is Chapter Five of Faith of the Heart, on Tuesday. Enjoy!

Gold was
sweating. All that could be heard was the clinking sound of the cutlery against
the plates. This was a disaster, it
was beyond awkward and Belle would never want to see him again. He swallowed
nervously, he knew he should break the silence and make conversation, but he
didnât know what to say.It felt
uncomfortably warm in the kitchen, perhaps because of the heat from the stove,
and he was grateful that he had shed his jacket and tie, undoing the top two
buttons of his shirt. Nobody aside from Bae and his doctor had seen him this
undressed in years, his suit was his armor but he didnât think he needed that
with Belle.Aww! All the adorable awkward babes. Holy crap that first part though, Gold with no jacket, no tied, and buttons undone is like practically naked! đ
Iâm glad Mary Margaret let Emma come over. Sad though that Belle had to be there. I mean Gold is obviously a good father, why wouldnât he be good to Emma too. Ugh.
Heh thanks, Iâm really pleased you are enjoying it đ Yup I was going for the look Gold had at the beginning of âThe Crocodileâ. Actually Iâm not sure now whether he had a tie on, or not, but he was at least just in a shirt (no jacket) when he stepped in from the garden.
With Mary Margaret I think she knows that Gold must be a good father, because she has spent time with Bae. However, all the rumors about him around town just make her uneasy. She probably rationalizes it to herself as âBae is welcome here” and âMr. Gold is a busy man, probably doesnât want two children under footâ etc. and doesnât even really realize how prejudiced sheâs being. However, having a second adult (and a woman) around makes the situation look different.
I headcanon that David will probably apologize for the initial wariness at some point in the future. Gold will accept it because he loves his son, and wants to protect him so he understands why they did it. Heâs probably slightly bitter that people think heâs someone they need to protect against, but thereâs nothing he can do to change that.

How cute is this! Bae asking the important question made me laugh. Poor Bae, he must be imagining the horrors of being stuck with a stepmother IN PINK. Could there be something worse? lol
Not sure why MM called Goldâs house if she wasnât going to let Emma have a playdate. Maybe she wanted to suggest they go to a public place or sth? Anyway, her reaction to Belleâs presence was too funny. I could almost hear her going from âIs this woman crazy??â to âDATENIGHTWITHHUBBY!
LOL. And of course I love that theyâre officially dating now. ADORABLE!
Mary Margaret called Goldâs house to arrange a playdate. However, she was originally going to invite Bae over to their house again, despite Emmaâs wish to go over to the Goldâs house. Bae would have likely said something like âyou should come to my house, the garden is awesome.â
Learning that Belle was dating Gold, changed Mary Margaretâs mind. That is why she said âwell that changes things.â Sheâs still suspicious of Gold but that will change in time, once she actually gets to know him, as right now all she knows is the rumors that fly around town. Mary Margaret knows that it doesnât quite add up, as Bae is such a lovely happy child, and having Belle as a chaperone just sealed the deal.
Iâm really glad you liked it! đ
