CHAPTER TWO – Storybrooke, a few minutes before
Regina made her way down to Granny's. She had to tell them. Wait, no, maybe not.
No. She at least had to tell Henry. It would be his little brother or sister after all.
Belle was making her way up the street from the library, her arms loaded up with books. Ever since she banished Rumple, she escaped through her books. Regina resolved to tell her too. After all, a few weeks earlier she also found out that she would soon be a single mother as well.
"Belle? A word, please."
Belle walked up and matched her step as they made their way to Granny's. "What's on your mind, Regina?"

Regina nodded. She knew exactly what she meant.

Emma just smiled at the remark, but then suddenly she started to frown. Regina felt it too. Magic was headed their way, but it felt distant in an odd sort of way. "Is this you, Regina?" Emma asked.
"If it was, do you really think I would be just as alarmed?" Just at that moment, a blinding flash of light appeared in the middle of the street in front of the four of them. All of them were pulled forwards through the light, and within seconds, found themselves on the deck of a pirate ship in the middle of the ocean, with two very startled girls.
