Hello my devoted fans / first time readers of my work,
This is my idea of what would happen if Valkyrie were the daughter of Regina and Mr. Gold from Once Upon a Time. The idea is that Regina and Rumpelstiltskin both wanted a heir, so they decided to have a child together to make sure that it would be magically powerful. Then she is taken, and placed in the land without magic, and that is why Rumpelstiltskin and Regina want to go there, and make the plan to cast the curse. I am posting this to see if this is something that people would want to read or not. If so I will continue it at a later date. Enjoy!

Chapter 1
The newborn baby stared up at the terrifying woman with golden brown eyes. The woman similarly stared down at the child in awe as her eyes started to water.
"Sometime wrong dearie?" The man, if you could call him that, beside her bed asked.
"No." she responded, not taking her eyes off the child in her arms.
"Then why the water works?" he questioned, truly curious as to how this child could make THE Evil Queen cry.
Finally looking up from the bundle in her arms, she whispered one simple sentence. "She's perfect."
He didn't get it, until Regina asked him to hold the child so she could get some sleep. As he held her carefully in his arms he saw what Regina meant. She truly was perfect, with Regina's nose, and high cheekbones, and his eyes, and chin. For a moment she reminded him so much of Bae, that his heart ached. But the feeling was gone as soon as it appeared, as the tiny creature in his arms reached out to grasped his finger with her tiny hand.
"Hi there." He whispered to her as he rocked her gently in his arms. "I'm your Papa."

"Valkyrie! Your Father is here to pick you up!" Regina called out to her daughter. "Where are you?" she muttered to herself, as she searched her daughter's blue and purple bedroom. She had wanted it to be pink, but Regina and Rumpelstiltskin's absolute refusal of her owning anything pink resulted in the current color scheme, which, in Regina's opinion, wasn't that bad.
Just as she was about to leave the room she heard a sniffle from under the canopy bed. She crouched down and glanced underneath, only to be greeted with the tear stained face of her daughter.
"Honey? What's wrong?" Regina questioned the small child.
The small hand of the girl reached up and rubbed her eyes. "Don't wanna go."
Regina's eyes widened in surprise when her words sunk in. "Why not?"
"When I go with Papa, I don't see you, and when I go with you I don't see Papa. I don't wanna not see you or Papa, Mama." She said bursting into tears as she finished talking.
A look of understanding crossed over the Queen's face, before she used a levitation spell to bring the sobbing girl into her arms. As she let her cry on her shoulder, Regina carefully pulled a necklace off her neck and quietly cast a few spells on it. When the girl in her arms finally calmed down, she pulled her away from her shoulder so she could look her in the eye.
"Valkyrie, no matter where you are me and Papa love you very much. We will always be there for you. So you always remember that, I want you to put on this necklace." She said, placing a silver locket, with an apple tree engraved on the front, around her daughter's neck. "And I want you to never take it off. No matter what." She waited for her daughter to nod before continuing on. "See this button? When you push it the locket opens." Pushing said button, Regina revealed a picture of her on one side and a picture of her papa on the other. "If you need me, just hold the necklace in your hand, and call my name three times. It will bring you to me. Ok?"
"Ok mama." Valkyrie said, nodding to herself. " I think I'm ready to go." Regina smiled as she picked up her child and started walking towards the hall where she had left The Dark One waiting.
2 years later
The past six years had been some of the best for Rumpelstiltskin since Bae was young. Valkyrie was the bright light that he didn't know he was missing in his life until he had her. She had truly grown to be her parents' daughter. As smart as she was mischievous, she was constantly pulling pranks on Regina's guards, and causing chaos. And with magic no less. She was powerful for someone so young, so much so, that it concerned Rumpelstiltskin that she would accidentally hurt herself. That's why today, on her birthday, he had given her a necklace with a Dragon's Breath Opal, on which he had cast many protective spells, as well as one that would allow her to teleport to him or at least close to him when holding it in her hand and calling out his name, which was carved into the back of it.
When Valkyrie had opened that present, she had been ecstatic. Then again, she was always extra happy on her birthday, if only because it was one of the few times when Regina and Rumple would stay together in the same castle for a few days.
A sudden scream shattered the peaceful calm that had remained between the two inhabitations of the room in which they were resting. Wasting no time, they rose as one, and sprinted towards the sound. Arriving in their daughter's room, they could only watch as the Blue Fairy disappeared with their child in a cloud of blue smoke.
Days later they would confront said fairy, only to discover that she sent their child to a land without magic, without her memories, so that she "could never tainted their world with her dark magic like they had." Of course being a coward, she immediately disappeared when Regina charged at her, hands full of fire.
The loss of their child sparked an unholy agreement between the two. They would find a way to get to this Land without Magic, and they would find their child. Even if it meant dragging the rest of the Enchanted Forest along with them.

"Are you sure you want to do this Valkyrie?"
"I have to know who they are."
"What if you find something you don't like?"
"I guess I'll just have to be brave."
