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: I’m not very good at sitting on fic and this is fluffy. I was going to post it tomorrow and sit on the last chapter of Faith of the Heart in case I couldn’t finish my Rumbelle is Hope thing. However, it looks like I will finish it so enjoy all the fluff! 🙂
On Tumblr: Chapters One, Two (Part One), Two (Part Two), Three, Four
David Nolan
whistled softly to himself as he slammed the door to his truck. He jogged up
the path to the pink Victorian that his daughters best friend called home. He
rang the bell and checked his watch, he was slightly late, due to
procrastinating on his paperwork at the station. David liked being sheriff, he
just didn’t like all the forms that went with it. A moment later the door was
opened by a young woman, the town librarian if he remembered correctly.“I’m Emma’s
father, here to pick her up,” David said, giving the woman a curious look. “I
was expecting Mr. Gold.”“Oh, Alistair’s
with the children.” the woman laughed, causing David’s eyebrows to raise at her
use of what must be Gold’s first name. She frowned at his obvious confusion.
“I’m Belle French, Alistair’s girlfriend, your
wife didn’t tell you to expect me?”Thank you for this! We needed something positive thanks to this episode’s angst fest. Anyway, loved it!
Yeah, as I had fluff written I thought given the circumstances I should post it heh. I’m really glad you liked it, thank you 🙂

I *so* needed this! See what happened when they got rid of Bae? Everything would be all right if Neal (Sr.) were still around!
Well seeing as I can barely go a chapter, let alone an entire story, without mentioning Bae/Neal – 110% yes! He was so damn important.
In my opinion, without Bae there would be no show, or at least not as we know it, because there would have been no dark curse. Rumple’s quest to find him kickstarted everything. I think I have one AU fic where there is no Bae, it’s hard not to write him. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed the fic, and that seven year old Bae made everything right in the end heh 🙂

Want more! Sleepover! Pony rides! Halloween! One of them finds a book of practical jokes and swaps sugar for salt, and greases doorknobs, and so on…
Pony rides? I suppose perhaps if a circus came to town, I can’t think how that would happen … actually there’s the stables isn’t there? So yeah I guess if Bae wanted riding lessons or something. Hmm ok, I will file this prompt away and get to it when I can 🙂

*hugs fic* This is such a great series! I love David trusting his own eyes more than he does gossip, and how he gently makes sure that MM realizes she’s been wrong (can we have this in canon?)
Emma was a treasure! I’ll never get tired of seeing a version of her as a child where she’s loved and has a family. *hugs lil’ Emma*
And, yay, family time at the cabin! And of course Gold knows it’s too soon to their the L-word around, so I’m glad bae pushed his dad in the right direction anyway. LOL bonus points for Belle for showing the kids how to bait their hooks. Bet that will be the thing they’ll delight in telling their classmates! “We took these worms and…” Yeah. lol Tks for the update!
Oh wow thank you so much, I’m really glad you like it 🙂 To be honest that is how I see canon David, except in the last couple of seasons he hasn’t spoken up, instead just following Snow – downside of sharing a heart perhaps? I don’t know, I hadn’t really thought about that before. Hmm.
Anyway, yeah I imagine the gross worms will be the high point of the day heh and yup if it wasn’t for Bae, Gold would probably still be thinking it was “too soon” months later. He is continually surprised by Belle because he is just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and for her to leave him, but instead she’s right there with him for every step forward. Gold is always expecting rejection and getting the opposite from Belle 🙂
