Even if she did find Gideon then what? The Black Fairy has magic and she also has Gideon's heart. It seems to me like he is never out of her sight so Belle trying to talk to him right now it's nearly impossible unless he gets his freedom back. They just noticed that at the end of the last episode. Belle's son is one of the villains (even if he's being controlled) of the arc and we didn't see any interact between them (only a briefly one in 6x11) and we don't know anything about how Belle feels, what she think, or nothing. She's just a papel couché character without any background. She's Rumple's moult shadow.
