[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
It had been days now. Gold was sitting in the truck as David and Hook went in abandoned places to find more clues with Killer the dog.
Gold sat on the floor of the truck out of the doorway holding his daughter's doll. He looked down sadly until he noticed Josh walked up to him. "You ok?"
"...a little," Gold said. "I am just thankful, she isn't alone...and that she is alive."
Josh nodded, "be grateful for small mercy."
Gold smiled slightly, "funny you should say that she's with a priest."
"A priest? Well at least he'll take care of her. It's like their duty or something isn't it."
Gold nodded, "strange it isn't Hale though. Unless he didn't make it."
They both sat in silence then, thinking of all the people they'd lost so far because of the walking corpses.
Soon Hook and David came back with Killer. Killer then came to Gold nuzzled his nose against his hand. Gold smiled and petted him.
"In the morning we will keep going," David said as Hook filled the truck up with gas.
Gold looked down. David knelt infront of him and placed his hand on his shoulder, "I know you wouldn't want that, but we all are tired and need rest, Gold." David told him.
Gold signed, but nodded, "it's getting late. I'm guessing Sarah will be resting now too."
Josh nodded, "it's important to be well rested. We've got a long day ahead."
They all then got inside the truck and slept in their seats. Josh in the passenger seat, Hook in the driver seat, David in the back seat behind Hook, and Gold next to David with Killer between them with his head on Gold's lap. He was not able to sleep. He was worrying over Sarah. He remembered the day she was returned to her...a month after she was born by Blue her godmother. Oh how beautiful his little girl was.
"Rumpel, which dress should Sarah wear today?" Belle asked holding two different dresses for the baby.
Gold was distracted. He was holding his baby girl smiling in at her.
Belle sighed, but still smiled. He was so happy as he held the little girl in his arms.
"I'm sorry, dearie, what's the question?"
"Which dress should Sarah wear for today?" Belle asked.
"I think she'll look pretty in anything, just like her mother," he replied.
Belle giggled, "oh you."
Then the baby reached her hand out and grabbed his nose giggled and cooed at her father.
"She loves you too, darling. Every girl loves her mommy."
"Yes, but I have a feeling she's going to be a daddy's girl," Belle giggled, "boys usually gravitate more to their mothers. Girls, their fathers."
Gold chuckled smiling down at Sarah. She giggled smiling at him and clapped her hands.
"Let's get her dressed." Belle giggled. Once she was in a dress, her little socks and black shoes, Gold came in and picked her up. She giggled and clapped her hands on his cheeks.
Gold deeply loved her, "I will always protect you. Always. I love you." He leaned in kissed her forehead.
Gold looked out the window as he petted Killer. He couldn't stop thinking about Sarah. He just hope she was thinking about him.
