Celeste sat at their kitchen table sipping her tea and avoiding his stare, knowing he was going to keep asking her questions.

"You can't break your promise, dearie." Rumpel warned her, placing a plate of pancakes in front of her.

"Watch me." She said stubbornly, putting her tea down when she felt him lift her up.

"I won't hesitate to make you scream my name over and over, begging me to stop as you reveal every secret hiding past your lips." His lips went to her neck, leaving a trail of bruises as he sat her down on the kitchen counter. "Now, you better start answering my questions, love."

"When I went looking for you before the curse, I accidently opened the wrong book." She moaned out as his fingers traveled down her stomach, mouth down her chest. "I summoned a demon who cursed me with immortality so I would spend eternity searching for you."

"A demon?" He questioned, stroking his hand up her thigh as she gasped with ecstasy.

"Yes. It saw I already had a curse preventing me from finding you." She tangled her fingers in his hair as he crouched down between her legs.

"And your sudden powers?" He whispered against the thin material of her panties.

"My mother was a sorceress." Celeste revealed, head falling back as she breathed out, her voice laboured. "She put my powers to rest when I was born but Zelena awoken them."

"Good girl."

"Please, Rumpel." She tugged at his hair, pulling him up and taking off his shirt. "I need you."

"I know." He licked his fingers before capturing her mouth.

Celeste groaned as her phone rang for the third time, escaping his tight grip to answer the impatient caller.

"Celeste? Where are you?" Emma's voice yelled down the phone, waking up the man beside her.

"Trying to enjoy my husband." She grumbled, laying back as Rumpel attacked her shoulder with kisses. "What can I help you with?"

"We're all heading to Granny's to celebrate."

"We're coming, give us some time." She hung up the phone, throwing it to the other side of the room as she rolled on top of her husband. "Since we have a few minutes."

"I like your thinking." Rumpel grinned up at her, pulling her down to ravish her body over and over again.

"Sorry we're late." Celeste apologised as she walked into Granny's, Rumpel quietly behind her as they sat at the table across from Snow and Henry, the baby fast asleep in his mother's arms. "Oh, can I hold him."

"Careful." Snow carefully passed the eager woman her child.

"I'm a doctor." She reminded the mother with a chuckle, holding the baby tightly. "I might steal him. Look at that little nose."

"I've helped steal him once." Rumpel chuckled darkly, resting his arm on the back of her chair to lean down and stroke the babies cheek.

"You two seem like the perfect family." Red joked as she pulled a chair up next to Celeste. They went quiet at Henry continued to read about how Snow and Charming first met. Celeste gave the mother her son back reluctantly, making sure to get in a final cuddle.

"Really? I can't hear the kids name yet, but I have to hear this story again?" Emma joked as she wandered over, Hook by her side.

"Well, my son should know where he comes from." Charming grinned, stroking his sons cheek.

"Are you sure you want the first thing he knows to be that his parents fell in love during an armed robbery?" She smiled widely at her mothers dramatic response.

"I wasn't armed."

"Except with a rock." Red added while Celeste nodded along.

"I still have the scar." Charming glanced down at his wife with a raised brow.

"Which healed." Snow defended herself, her voice going high. "But that's just how we met. It's not how we fell in love."

"Yeah, that was a bit more complicated." He agreed, breathing out heavily as he thought back on their history. He skipped the page which held a large illustration of what happened. "See, there were Black Knights when I saved your mother's life."

"Oh, and the attack on the Troll Bridge when I saved his." She added, turning the page.

"But it wasn't until I saw my mother's ring on her finger that I knew, in my heart, there was no other woman I would ever love." Charming concluded, everyone glancing at the same ring still on Snows finger.

"I wish you had told me then. We would have saved so much time." Snow said sarcastically, looking up at him lovingly.

"Well, how could I? I had to get to my wedding."

"Sorry. Have I missed something?" Hook interrupted. "You were previously betrothed, mate?"

"To Kathryn." Red answered, gesturing to the blonde woman talking to Granny.

"Though she was Princess Abigail back then." Celeste informed the pirate, sipping at her tea.

"King Midas' daughter, the man who can turn anything into gold?" Hook questioned the princes choices. "Why would you leave that opportunity?"

"Well, what can I say?" Charming shrugged. "My heart was destined for another."

"You just had to find her first." Red hummed romantically. "She ran away and was living on a farm."

"It sounded like such a peaceful life at the time." Snow sighed as she reminisced her old life. "Leave everyone and everything behind."

"Like mother, like daughter." Hook piped in, sipping his beer.

"What is he talking about?" Henry asked his mother.

"Uh, should we read more stories?" Charming suggested, glancing at Celeste and gesturing with his head.

"Oh, right, read mine." Celeste stumbled, turning the pages of the book. "It doesn't cover my travels well but my true love made me a library, that beats your true love."
