What I'd Like To See From Emilie's Pregnancy and It's Relation to OUaT
I honestly hope they write in Emilie’s real life pregnancy and work it into Belle’s character.
I want Belle to learn what Rumple did to get his magic back and I want her to leave him for good. I want her to learn that she is with child and see her determined to raise them without Rumple because she doesn’t want him to hurt their kid the way he’s hurt her, over and over, saying that he loves her more than the power only to belittle her and her love again and again.
I want to see Rumple learn that Belle is pregnant and BEG her to take him back, on his knees because that’s his child and his wife. He wants a “second” chance. I want to see Belle finally tell him “no”. I want to see her walking away from him and not look back because if she does she knows she’ll go running to him again.
I want to see Belle raise this child without Rumple. See her asking Snow for baby tips and going to Emma for ways on how to calm a baby down. Asking David to baby-proof her place. Killian building her a mobile for the baby’s crib. The dwarves standing outside her door in case Rumple tries to come through. Regina shoving it in Rumple’s face that he’s lost everything. Just see her with the gang in ways she hasn’t when she’s with Rumple.
Give me Rumple watching Belle picking their kid up from the bus stop. I want to see him in pain because he knows that could have been his life, with his wife and his child, if only he’d given up the power.
Give me Belle telling her child about their father, about how she thought she saw the man behind the beast, and tried to love him as best she could. I want her to tell her child that sometimes love isn’t enough, but you always have to try. I want her to tell her child to follow their dreams, to do what THEY want to do, not what anyone else wants them to do.
Just please don’t turn Belle into the helpless victim of Rumple’s actions, again. Let her stand up for herself because this time it’s not just her and her love at stake, it’s her child’s future. Don’t let Rumple have it all again. He’s proven he doesn’t deserve Belle; he only deserves the pain of watching her back as she leaves.
