not there to fix them.”Goldie tilts his head and smiles at him sympathetically as he listens to his response. “What are you saying?”“I dunno,” he admits softly. “I mean, my parents aren’t exactly normal. They’re usually too stressed. So I try to stay away from trouble because if I do, I think they’ll just try to hide it from me. If I knew that they were having troubles, maybe I wouldn’t have left in the middle of the night to save my brother.”Goldie frowns and shakes his head slightly. “Your mom and your dad didn’t do anything wrong. They didn’t force you out of the house in the middle of the night or anything like that. There was no choice in the matter. None whatsoever. If you weren’t willing to help your brother, I wouldn’t have done it. If I wasn’t willing to protect you, I wouldn’t have. I would have gotten myself killed trying to stop that guy. And besides, I doubt my mom or my dad were able to stop that creep anyway,” he says. “It’s not their fault your brother died. I can p
You don’t need to. I’ve talked to the doctors at school about things. I know what I went through and all that stuff. And don’t ever feel bad about telling me about something like this. Or telling anybody about it for that matter,” he states, resting a reassuring hand on his shoulder comfortingly.After taking a deep breath, he finally meets Goldies eyes once more. He lets out another sigh before shaking his head slowly. “Thanks for understanding Goldie. I just don't want you guys being upset if you find out. I just wish I had told you sooner. I didn't even think about it until I woke up last morning. I figured that it would have been better if it slipped my mind to tell you guys later. I don't know, maybe I thought you would judge me or something?" he replies sheepishly.Goldie lets out a small chuckle in reply. “Oh wow, you're a real comedian Goldie," he comments sarcastically. Goldie furrows his eyebrows and glares playfully at him, causing Goldie to smile amusedly back. “Hey, I wa
“Really?” Goldie raises an eyebrow in surprise. "Why?"Goldie smirks widely. "Why? Because I’ve missed hanging out with my best friend and since we’re not exactly allowed to see each other much anyway, I thought this was a good opportunity to make up for it. I mean, you’ve done everything for me Goldie and I want you to feel like you can come over whenever you’d like without having to worry about being interrupted. And plus, I wanna introduce you to my parents,” Goldie tells Goldie honestly."Wait, what?!" Goldie gasps loudly. "We're not supposed to see each other for months! Why can’t we see each other? I thought you said…" Goldie trails off, trying to figure out what Goldie meant, not knowing exactly what he had been expecting.“Exactly, I said I wanted to introduce you to my parents. Which you can do anytime, if you want to,” Goldie explains patiently. “I’ve just been meaning to wait until we’d made up our minds on whether we want to date or not first.”Goldi
he’s even told Belle’s son about it – although it's likely that he didn't know about his father's involvement. How was he going to deal with this revelation? He was sure that his mother was already aware of his love for Regina and that his sister would be upset with him for keeping it from them, but it seemed that she hadn’t heard yet. He knew that the possibility of his mother being upset with him was very high, but he couldn’t imagine the anger his mother would surely have felt at discovering that he had actually slept with someone else after years of marriage. He knew his brother had disapproved of his marriage to Regina because of how long ago it had happened, but it seemed unlikely that his mother would ever approve of their current situation. Even still, he knew that his brother would probably never forgive him if he hurt Regina. But, then again, maybe his brother wouldn’t care. If Goldie was being honest with himself, he had little doubt that the reason his father was so angry
Goldie suggests hopefully as he looks at his parents intently.“Goldie, honey…” Regina starts hesitantly.“No, Regina, please listen to me. Please…just for this once I want you to let me talk. I don’t need your approval anymore, Mom. I know how selfish this is of me, and I know that I probably shouldn’t take any of this out on your family, but I can’t help but be afraid of losing him. If I can’t have him, I at least want to find out why he left us. I don’t want to spend another day wondering, hoping, and praying that maybe someday he'll come back to us.” Goldie explains pleadingly.“Goldie, I’m so sorry…” Regina starts softly.“No! Just let me finish! I don’t want apologies. I just want answers.” He demands angrily as he turns to face her.“We will find you a place to stay until he gets back, okay? Don’t worry. I’m sure there’s somewhere you can go. We just need to figure out where. But for now, we just have to support you until he gets back. You understand, right? No matter what happ
s best to just throw it out." Belle remarks with a sigh.“Maybe…but…maybe it won’t happen to us.” Gold replies quietly, his voice cracking slightly with uncertainty at his words.Belle remains quiet for a moment, processing what he said as she stares off into space, lost in her thoughts. She suddenly becomes aware of the weight resting on her lap which is now leaning forward as he watches her with pleading brown eyes and furrowed brows as he waits patiently for a response from her. She looks down at his hands on her legs, her fingers instinctively threading between his own and interlacing their fingers together."I don't know." Belle whispers as she looks at him briefly, not daring to break eye contact. "But what's important is that we stay together, right? I'm not ready for anything to change, or to be without you, but I know that it will. This might be the only time I'll ever get a chance to hold your hand while we're apart like this. I don't want to lose that, Goldie." Gold stare
you’re the one that needs to listen to me more often…I’ll try and be more considerate from now on. I promise, I will never put you through anything that you can’t handle. Thank you for being there for me through everything.” She murmurs, gazing lovingly into her husband’s eyes for a moment before pulling him into a hug.Rumpelstiltskin returns her embrace, wrapping his arms around her tightly. “Thank you for accepting me in your life, Regina. I know that it’s not easy to find a partner in your age, especially in such an early stage.” He mutters as he buries his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply.Regina chuckles slightly as she strokes her fingers through her husbands hair soothingly. “Well, you better get used to it, dear, because I think that I’m stuck with you until death do us part...at least for now.” She jokes, earning another chuckle from her husband. “Ahem.” Emma coughs into her fist slightly as she rolls her eyes playfully at the couple.“Excuse me.” She adds i
, glaring slightly at his ex, causing the Queen to raise her hands up in surrender. “Sorry, sorry. I got carried away.” She tells him sarcastically. She turns back to Emma, “But, anyway, as I said earlier, it’s hard to explain, but it’s possible that I may not have been completely honest with you and your father about certain aspects of me and your father. As I mentioned before, it wasn’t easy for me to be in a relationship.” She admits before continuing, “Not that we ever went out without others watching us but...there are some memories…” She trails off sadly before smiling slightly in remembrance. “Anyway, after a rather traumatic event that took place a few decades ago, my magic became a bit volatile, leading to my powers becoming unstable, hence why the curse was cast…and when it was broken, I ended up in Storybrooke where Zelena took me in. It turned out to be somewhat helpful and eventually I began living my life with her, but I couldn’t forget everything that happened during th
