*Flashback*
Me and Rumple follow the fairy godmother to her destination and she appears in front of a young girl with blonde hair who is wearing dirty clothes, we see a couple of well dressed women go on a carriage and ride off,
"Do not despair, my dear. You will attend that ball." The fairy godmother says
"Who are you?" The girl asks then the fairy godmother becomes bigger so she is human size and her wings go away,
"I'm your fairy godmother. And I'm here to change your life, Cinderella." The Godmother replies, Cinderella what a pretty name,
"But, my stepmother told me that I couldn't go. She forbade me to leave." Cinderella says
"Your stepmother doesn't have this." The Godmother says then she pulls out a wand, the wand we want,
"This wand has the power to take you to your ball, to your prince, and to-" Then the fairy godmother is cut off since Rumple blasts her into smithereens and we go and pick up the wand,
"What… What did you do?" Cinderella asks
"Now, now. We got what we wanted. There's no need to be frightened." I reply
"No need? You just killed my fairy godmother. She was trying to help me." She says
"Was she? Do you know what this is?" Rumple asks then he holds up the wand,
"Pure magic." She replies
"Pure evil. Trust me – We've done you a favour. All magic comes with a price. Go on back to your life and thank your lucky stars you still got something to go back to." He says
"My life… It's wretched." She says
"Then change it. You can't handle this." I say then we turn to leave,
"Wait. Please, wait. I can handle it. Please. I will do anything to get out of here. Anything." She says then we turn to face her once again,
"Anything?" He asks
"Do you know how to use that wand, Mr…?" She asks
"Rumpelstiltskin." He replies as he bows,
"And yes, of course I do." He says
"Then help me." She says
"Well, if I do, and you can, indeed, shoulder the consequences, then you'll own me a favour." He says
"Name it. What do you want?" She asks
"Something…precious." I reply
"I have nothing." She says
"Oh, but you will. With this wish, will come riches more than you know." He says
"I care nothing for riches. I'll give you anything you want. Just get me out of here." She says
"Now we're talking." I say
"Well, how does it work?" She asks
"Fear not! Our needs are small and all you have to do is sign on the dotted line." He replies then he pulls out a long contract,
"Do we have a deal?" He asks
"Yes. Yes, thank you." She replies then she signs the contract, Rumple waves the wand and transforms her into a princess with a blue dress and glass slippers,
"Glass?" She asks
"Every story needs a memorable detail. Let's see how they fit, shall we? Now, you have a good time. But be sure to watch the clock." He replies
*Present day*
I finish the last drawing and I see that it is daylight outside so I get up, I go into the bathroom and I wash my hands, I have decided to have a lazy day and relax God knows I need one, I go out of the bathroom after drying my hands and I go downstairs then I go into the kitchen, I make myself some toast and then I pour myself some orange juice, I eat my food and I drink my orange juice then I wash up, Regina comes in,
"How come you're not dressed?" She asks
"Because I have decided I am going to have a lazy day." I reply
"I wish I could have one." She says
"Well you chose to be mayor of this town so you don't get a day off and anyway your good at your job." I say
"Well thank you but it would be nice if you decided to work." She says
"I do work thank you." I say
"Doing deals with Gold is not work." She says
"No I meant I create art pieces then I sell them to gallery's around the world and I get quite a bit of money from it." I say
"Really? How come you didn't tell me that you started drawing again?" She asks
"Well I started about a year after we came here and I've been drawing since. I missed doing it." I reply
"I remember how peaceful you were." She says
"Yes I was but now I don't know, I just have a lot on my mind." I say
"I know how you feel." She says
"Yeah but you shouldn't worry, worrying is my job. Like protecting you and Henry is my job since I am the eldest." I say
"That don't mean anything." She says
"I know but I've always done it even against our own mother I protected you." I say
"I know I am grateful but now and then you've got to let me protect you." She says
"There's no need, as long as you and Henry are happy and alright, I am." I say
"Well anyway I need to go but I will see you later." She says
"Ok have a fun day at work." I say and she smiles then she leaves, I sigh, why does everything have to be so stressful? I am being like my old self and I don't want to be but I have to be to keep everyone happy, I am helping Henry and Emma break the curse even though Emma doesn't believe she will soon though and that is also helping Rumple, then I am also trying to be loyal to Regina and I am trying to keep the curse in place because everyone will try to kill her if they get there memories back, I have no idea want they'll do to me since I was a lot worse than Regina but I am trying to make it up to them but it's so hard to be good after being bad for so long, I wish I could just give in to the darkness but I can't because if I do I don't know whether I can come back again, I finish washing up and I go upstairs but instead of going in my room I go into a spare room where some of my stuff is, I pull out the giant chest from underneath loads of boxes and I open it, inside is all of my old journals and other smaller boxes, I pick up one of the boxes and I open it and inside is my glasses, yes! I've been looking for these for a while so I put them on, I can see so much better now I can see without them but it's a bit blurry, I carry on looking through the box and I find my ring but not my engagement/wedding ring, it's from the time I went missing for two years I take it out of the box and I look at it, I put it on and I admire it in the sunlight I've always liked how it glows in the light, I take it off and I put it to one side then I carry on looking through the box, all that is left in here are some pictures that I've took over the years so I put the box back and I just carry on looking through the chest, half an hour later I finish looking through the chest and as I put my journals back in order then I close the chest and I put it back, I grab my ring, put it on and I go out of the room as I close the door behind me, I look around and smile because I can see probably thank god! I go into my room and I sit at my desk then I look in the mirror, I never thought I suited glasses but everyone else thought otherwise, my hair is messy so I brush it and put it up, I go downstairs and I go into Regina's study, I pour myself a glass of apple cider and I take a sip of it, I look at all the books and I take one of the shelf and I look at it, it is the story of Cinderella and I chuckle, they don't get the story right but it was intended for children so they have an excuse, I put the book back and I go upstairs, I go into my room and I get one of my journals from when we were in the enchanted forest, it is the one with Cinderella and I look at the pages where I have seen her that day, I put the journal back and I go downstairs and I sit on the sofa, I turn on the TV and I flick through the channels until I find one that I like, I like technology of this world because it's different and advanced, back in the enchanted forest we didn't have phones or TV's honestly I don't know how I would survive without my phone now.
I go through the rest of the day just on the sofa chilling, Henry and Regina come in and they see me,
"Hey Aunt Freya." He says
"Hiya Henry." I say and he hugs me,
"How was your day?" I ask
"Alright." He replies then he runs upstairs,
"Hey." I say
"Hey, you found your glasses?" Regina asks
"Yeah they were in one of the spare rooms." I reply
"Can you see better now?" She asks
"Yeah." I reply then she looks at my finger,
"You were wearing that when you came back after the two years." She says
"Yeah I found this as well." I say as I play around with my ring,
"Well as you know tomorrow I will be going to the council meeting." She says
"Yes the "meeting"." I say while doing the action for speech marks around the word "meeting", I get up and I go to the kitchen and Regina follows me,
"What do you mean?" She asks
"Well it's obvious what you do on Saturdays." I reply
"How long have you known?" She asks
"Well since I was there when you got the huntsman's heart, literally, I kind of guessed." I reply as I start making dinner,
"You don't have to make dinner." She says
"Let me since you have been working all day and I have just been sitting on my arse. Go and put your feet up for a bit." I say
"Fine." She says then she goes back in the living room and I carry on making dinner, half an hour I finish making dinner we are having spaghetti and meatballs, I place the our dinner on the table,
"Henry! Regina! Dinner's ready!" I shout at the top of my voice then both Henry and Regina come running, I laugh and we all sit down and get tucked in, about 10 minutes later we all finish, I take the plates and I start washing up then Regina comes in,
"Where are the bath bombs and scented candles?" She asks
"At the bottom of your bathroom cupboard." I reply
"Thanks." She says then she leaves, I finish washing up and I go upstairs to my room, I go into the bathroom and I have a shower but before I take off my glasses, after a few minutes I get out and I put my glasses back on, I get changed into a nightgown and I get out my journal, I draw a picture of Cinderella and I put it in my journal then I write down what I did today, I put my journal back and I get out of bed, I go into my walk in wardrobe and I open my safe, inside I put the ring so it is with the book that has the basic layout of what I did for those two years, I come out and I get out a book then I read it for the rest of the night.
Light seeps through my curtains so I open my curtains then I open the doors which lead out to my balcony and I go onto my balcony, I look at the entire town and I look at the clock tower, it's still weird to see it move after seeing it not move for 28 years, I go back inside and I close the doors, I go into my walk in wardrobe and I get out my black leather jacket, red scoop neck and red sequin tank top, dark blue straight leg jeans and my black leather boots, I go into bathroom and I brush my teeth etc, I come out and I get dressed then I redo my hairs so it isn't messy anymore, I readjust my glasses and put my phone and keys in my pocket then I go downstairs, I go into the kitchen and I get an apple then I eat it as I go into the dining room, Henry is sitting at the table reading a comic book while Regina is putting lipstick on while looking in the mirror,
"I know you think otherwise, but I don't enjoy these Saturday city council meetings. Sometimes, they're just unavoidable. Now, you know the rules." She says as she comes over,
"Yes on homework, no on TV, and stay inside." Henry says
"Good boy. Under no circumstances do you leave this house." She says
"You mean, don't see my mum." He says
"She's not your mother. She's just a woman passing through. Now, do as I say, or there will be consequences. I'll be back at five sharp. Look after him." She says
"Will do, have fun." I say then she leaves when she pulls out of the driveway Henry grabs his backpack and starts walking towards the door,
"Come on." He says
"Where are we going?" I ask
"To see Emma." He replies then I follow him and we go outside,
"Fine but we have to be back by five because we are in enough trouble as it is." I say then I give him a helmet and I put mine on, I get on my motorcycle and Henry gets on the back,
"Hang on." I say then he wraps his arms around me and we drive off to MMB and Emma's apartment.
We arrive and we go up, the door is open and I see Rumple then Henry just walks in without knocking,
"Hey, Emma. I was thinking we-" He says then he sees Rumple,
"Hey, Henry. How are you?" He asks
"Okay?" Henry asks
"Good. Give my regards to your mother. And, um, good luck, Miss Swan." Rumple replies then he goes and I follow him,
"Hey why are you here?" I ask
"Because Ashley Boyd has taken her contract so I have gotten Emma's help to get it back." He replies
"What pregnant Ashley?" I ask and he nods,
"Oh, does Emma know that's what she has to get?" I ask
"No she just knows to bring Ashley to me." He replies then I see a cut on his forehead,
"Hey did Ashley do that?" I ask as I examine it,
"Yes but I'm fine." He replies
"Are you sure?" I ask
"Yes." He replies
"Okay it doesn't look like you have an concussion." I say while using my medical skills,
"Really I'm fine." He says as he takes his hands into mine,
"Okay I'll help Emma find Ashley and I will check in on you later. Okay?" I ask
"Okay." He replies then I give him a quick kiss on the lips,
"Love you." I say
"Love you too." He says then Emma and Henry go past us and I go with them, Emma is filling Henry in on the situation, we are walking down the street,
"Please let me help." Henry says
"No! No, it could be dangerous." Emma says
"The pregnant maid is dangerous?" He asks
"She did assault Mr Gold." I reply
"Cool!" He shouts
"This isn't a game. She's desperate." Emma says
"How do you know?" He asks
"Because I know." She replies
"Well, then let's find her." He says
"Oh, no, no, no, no. There is no let's. You cannot come with me." She says
"Then I'll look for her myself." He says
"Then I'll find you and I'll bring you back." I say
"Then you wouldn't be helping the maid." He says
"We are just trying to be responsible, here." She says
"And I'm just trying to spend time with you." He says then he gets into Emma's car,
"Oh, that is really not fair." She says
"So, the maid. What's her story?" He asks
"Are you going to go to Granny's?" I ask
"Why would I do that?" She asks
"Because Ruby is her friend." I reply
"Then yeah probably." She says
"Then I'll meet you there." I say
"Okay." She says then I run back to my motorcycle, I get my helmet on and I drive to Granny's.
*Flashback*
Cinderella and her new husband, Prince Thomas, walk down the stairs where they meet up with Snow White and Prince Charming, music starts playing so everyone gets a partner and dances to the music, Rumple offers his hand and I take it then we dance to the music like everyone else, when the music calls for it we switch partners and Snow White gets Cinderella from a older man while I dance with Prince Charming,
"Hello Charming." I say
"Freya what are you doing here?" He asks
"Just congratulating on Cinderella's marriage to the prince since it was me and Rumple that got her here." I reply then we switch partners and Cinderella runs into Rumple so I go off the dance floor and I listen in on their conversation,
"I'm proud of you, too." Rumple says
"You. What are you doing here?" She asks
"I just wanted to make sure you were happy with your end of the bargain. You know – true love, riches, happy endings. Did you get everything you desired?" He asks
"Yes, yes I did. Now, what do you want? What's your price? My jewels? The ring?" She asks
"No, no dear. Keep your baubles. What I want is something you don't yet possess, but something I know is coming. Your first born." He replies then he walks off leaving her in shock, I go up to her,
"Hello love." I say
"You." She says
"Look I know what you are going to say but listen next time you want something big like this maybe you shouldn't make a deal because now we will get your first born whether you are willing or not." I say while whispering the last bit in her ear then I walk off and join Rumple.
*Present Day*
Me, Henry and Emma are talking to Ruby outside Granny's while her car is being dropped off by a tow truck,
"So, this boyfriend of hers. You don't think he was involved in her disappearance?" Emma asks
"Uh, that would mean he was involved with her at all, which he isn't. He left her in the lurch, right after they found out they were expecting. Hasn't spoken to her since. Like I said-" Ruby replies right before she is cut off by her car getting dropped abruptly and her wolf charm hanging on her mirror almost breaks,
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Billy, be careful! You almost shattered my wolf thing, Billy. It's good luck." Ruby says
"I'm sorry, Ruby. But look - it's fine." Billy says
"Um, Ruby. What about her family?" Emma asks
"Oh, um, she's got a step-mum and two stepsisters that she doesn't talk to." Ruby replies
"Wait. Step-mum, stepsisters, and she's a maid?" Henry asks
"Henry. Not now." Emma replies
"Look. I don't know what you've heard, but it's wrong. Everyone thinks she's not ready to have this kid, but she's trying. Taking night classes, trying to better herself… Trying to get her life together. Can you understand that?" Ruby asks
"I think so." Emma replies
"Then maybe you should just stay out of it. She's been through enough already." Ruby says
"I've been through it too, Ruby, and I can help her." Emma says
"Then, try her ex." Ruby says
"Where can I find him?" Emma asks
"He lives with his dad." Ruby replies
"I know where that is I'll show you." I say
"Okay. Thank you." Emma says then both Emma and Henry get in her car and I get back on my motorcycle, I put on my helmet and drive off with Emma following me. We arrive and we go to the door, Emma knocks and at the same time Sean's father is pulling up in the driveway, Sean opens the door,
"Can I help you?" He asks
"Sean Herman?" Emma asks
"Yeah. Who are you?" He asks
"I'm Emma Swan. I'm… I'm looking for Ashley Boyd. She's in trouble. Just thought maybe she came to see you." Emma replies then Sean's father walks up the steps,
"My son doesn't have anything to do with that girl anymore. So, whatever trouble she's in, I am sorry for her, but there's nothing we can do to help you." He says
"You're the reason he broke up with her." Emma says
"Absolutely. I'm not going to let my son throw away his entire life over a mistake." He says
"So you just told him to leave her?" Emma asks
"Well, what are they going to do? Raise the child in the backseat of a car?" He asks
"Some people only have the backseat of a car." I reply
"Well, they're to be pitied. I'm not letting that happen to my son." He says
"Dad, maybe we should help her look." Sean says
"It's a waste, Sean." Sean's father says
"Sean, if you want to come, come. Stop letting other people make decisions for you. If Ashley runs away with this baby, she's going to be in some serious trouble." Emma says
"She's running away with the baby?" Sean asks
"Yes." Emma replies
"Sean. Inside. Now." Sean's father says then Sean goes into the house,
"Look. Believe me, if I knew where she was, I would tell you. I went to a lot of trouble to get her that deal." He says
"Deal? What are you talking about?" Emma asks, here we go,
"You don't know? Ashley agreed to give up the child. And she's being paid very well to do so." He replies
"She sold the baby?" Emma asks
"Oh, you make it sound so crass. I found someone who's going to find that child a good and proper home." He replies
"And who are you to judge whether Ashley is capable of providing that?" Emma asks
"Look at her. She's a teenager. She's never shown any evidence of being responsible. How could she possibly know how to be a mother?" He asks
"Maybe she's changing her life." Emma replies
"Everybody says that. Now, look. I found someone who's going to pay Ashley extremely well. Someone who's going to see to it that everybody's happy." He says then the answer hits Emma,
"Mr Gold." She says
"Well, isn't that why you were hired? To bring him the baby?" He asks
"Thank you for your time." Emma replies
"Of course." He says then he goes inside then Emma runs to her car,
"Where are we going?" I ask
"Back to Ruby." Emma replies as her and Henry get in her car drive off, I quickly get my helmet on and drive after them.
We all go in and approach Ruby,
"Why didn't you tell me she sold the baby?" Emma asks
"Because I didn't think it was important." Ruby replies
"Really? Considering that's why she's running away." Emma says
"Look, Ashley's my friend. I don't like the idea of people judging her." Ruby says then Emma notices Ruby's wolf charm on the counter,
"Ruby, where's your car? You didn't send me to Sean to find her. You sent me there to give her a head start." Emma says
"Look, I'm only trying to help her." Ruby says
"Yes, so am I. Ashley's in more trouble than you know, Ruby. Where is she? Don't make her deal with Gold without me." Emma says
"I can't talk in front of them. He's the Mayor's kid and she's her sister." Ruby says
"Hey! We're on your side." Henry says
"Henry, I need to find this woman. And in order to do that, I need you to go home, okay? So please listen to me. Seriously. She's not going to tell me anything if both of you are around." Emma says
"Okay." Me and Henry say
"Thank you." Emma says then me and Henry leave,
"We're helping." He says then he sneaks into Emma's car and hides himself while I go to my motorcycle and wait for Emma to come out, a couple minutes later she does and she gets into her car and drives off, I get on my motorcycle and I follow her to the town line. When we get there she pulls over and so do I, we all run to the car which is in a ditch,
"Ashley!" Emma shouts but Ashley isn't in the car then we hear a moan and we Ashley sitting in the grass,
"My baby! It's coming!" She shouts
"Okay we are going to get you into the car." I say
"Okay." She says then me and Emma help her into the car,
"Go." I say then Emma and Henry get in the car and drive off while I get on my motorcycle and I follow them to the hospital but first I ring Rumple, he answers,
"Freya what news do you have?" He asks
"We found her and Emma is driving her to the hospital now because she is having the baby." I reply
"Excellent I'll see you there." He says
"Okay bye." I say then I hang up and I drive to the hospital.
*Flashback*
Rumple has been summoned by Cinderella so he goes to her while I wait in the shadows,
"Well, well, well! You're starting to show. A little bird told me you wanted to speak?" He asks
"Yes. I'd like to alter the bargain." She replies
"That's not what I do." He says
"I think you'll want to. I'm having twins." She says
"Is that so? Ooo! Let's have a look. And you would, what? Give up both?" He asks and she nods,
"Why is that, I wonder?" He asks
"My husband, he's… He's having a hard time. Our kingdom is poor, we're losing money, our crops are dying… We can't support ourselves or our people." She replies
"And you would trade your other child for…comfort?" He asks
"I can always have more children, but I can't make crops grow where the soil is dead. In exchange for our child, you see to it that our land is once again fertile. I think it's more than fair." She replies
"Yes! Yes, yes. It is. If what you're saying is true." He says
"It is. And all you have to do, is sign on the dotted line." She says then she presents the contract and quill,
"What a lovely quill! Wherever did you get it?" He asks, he knows something is wrong here but yet he still plays along,
"It's from our castle." She replies
"You know, the only way to stop me, is through magic." He says
"I'm not trying to stop you." She says
"Of course you're not. Because, as we all know, all magic comes with a price. And if you were to use it to, say, imprison me, then your debt to me would only grow. And we wouldn't want that, now, would we?" He asks
"Just sign the contract, please." She replies
"Are you sure you're happy with this new arrangement?" He asks and she holds up the contract so he takes it,
"Then so it shall be." He says then he signs it and then he is instantly frozen, squid ink!
"Thomas!" She shouts
"No one breaks deals with me, dearie. No one. No matter where you are, no matter what land you find yourself in, I assure you – I will have your baby." He says then he looks at me and smiles.
*Present Day*
Me, Henry and Emma are sitting in the waiting room of the hospital,
"You know, Emma. You're different." He says
"What's that?" She asks
"You're the only one who could do it." He replies
"Break the curse? Yes, I know. You keep telling me that." She says
"No. Leave. You're the only one who can leave Storybrooke." He says
"You left and came and found me in Boston." She says
"But I came back. I'm ten – I had no choice. But if anyone else tried to go, bad things would happen." He says
"Anyone, except me?" She asks
"You're the saviour. You can do whatever you want. You can go." He replies then a doctor approaches us so me and Emma walk to her,
"Miss Swan and Mrs Gold. Baby is a healthy six pound girl and the mother is doing fine." She says then Rumple enters,
"What lovely news. Excellent work, Miss Sean. Thank you for bringing me my merchandise." He says
*Flashback*
Rumple is being put in a cell which is on the back of a carriage, Cinderella and Prince Thomas stand off to one side,
"Did we really win?" She asks, no you haven't won,
"Yes. I told you we would." He replies
"I was so afraid. I was so afraid that we'd fail. That… That I'd have to go back to that life. That… That terrible life. I was… I was afraid that I would lose you and that nothing would have changed." She says
"As long as I'm alive, you will never go back to that life." He says then they kiss,
"Now. How is our little Alexandra?" He asks
"Alexandra?" She asks
"Did I not mention that I picked out a name?" He asks
"A name? That's more like a prison sentence." She replies
"Well, I like it." He says
"Mm, men. You really know nothing of ch-" She is cut off by the fact that I use my magic to make it seem like she is in pain, it will fade in the minute but right now I need them separated,
"Ella, what is it?" He asks
"Oh, it's… It's the baby. Something's wrong." She replies
"No, no, no. It can't be. It's too soon. It must be the stress. The excitement." He says
"Oh, I'm dizzy." She says
"Sit, sit. I'll go get you water." He says as he sits her down,
"Okay." She says then he runs into the forest to the well, he takes off his cape and puts it to one side, I appear in front of him,
"She's fine you know." I say and he jumps in shock,
"Sorry did I startle you?" I ask
"Yes who are you?" He asks, I lower my hood and he gasps,
"Hello Thomas as I was saying she is fine, just a little spell, now you other hand will not be so lucky." I say then I use my magic to teleport him to my dungeon that I made, I hear someone coming so I hide back in the shadows, Cinderella comes to the well and sees that Thomas's cape is still at the well however he is no where to be seen,
"Thomas? Thomas!" She shouts then she goes back to carriage and she goes up to the cage,
"What did you do?" She asks
"Ella, what's wrong?" Prince Charming asks
"Your Highness, what happened?" A dwarf asks, I believe his name is Grumpy,
"What did you do to my Thomas?" She asks
"I haven't done anything. I case you haven't noticed, I've been otherwise engaged." Rumple replies
"Something's happened to him. You know. Tell me!" She shouts
"I have no idea, dearie. But I did warn you – all magic comes at a price. Looks like someone has just paid." Rumple says
"Don't listen to him. We'll find Thomas." Prince Charming says
"No, you won't. Until that debt is paid, until that baby is mine, you're never going to see him again. In this world or the next, Cinderella, I will have that baby." Rumple says then I come out of the shadows,
"He's right you know." I say then Prince Charming gets out his sword and stands in front of Cinderella protectively,
"Stand behind me." He says
"Oh calm down Charming I'm not going to hurt her. Her husband on the other hand is a different story." I say
"What have you done to Thomas?" Cinderella asks
"Well you have captured my husband so I took yours. Seems fair to me." I reply
"What do I have to do get him back?" She asks
"Well I can make you a deal, your husband for mine however you got to think if it was so easy for me to get to Thomas, how easy will it be for me to get your baby? So you have a choice give me back my husband and you get yours which means you have more of a chance to stop him or don't release him and you have to try and stop me. To be honest I don't like your odds." I reply
"Don't listen to her she is just a witch." Charming says
"Well I'm offended, do you not believe I have him?" I ask
"No I don't." He replies, I use my magic to so where Thomas is and Cinderella gasps,
"How about now?" I ask as I smile,
"Let him go." She replies
"I told you what you have to do." I say
"I'll make you a deal, I'll fight you no magic just a sword fight, and if I win we get Thomas back." Charming says
"Okay but if I win I get to keep him." I say
"Deal." He says, I giggle then I pull out my sword and I take off my cloak,
"Shall we?" I ask we get ready, he attacks me but I easily block his attack. This fight goes on for a good ten minutes before I beat him,
"I win." I say
"No. You must have cheated." He says
"Or you are just not as good as you think you are." I say, he gets up from the floor and he goes back to Cinderella,
"I'm sorry Ella." He says
"It's okay you tried your best." She says
"Well that is the end of it, Freya wins thus forth you get to keep me." Rumple says
"Goodbye my love, for now." I say
"Goodbye." He says then I teleport back home.
*Present day*
Rumple is getting a cup of coffee from the coffee machine and Emma walks up to him,
"Well, well. Must be my lucky day. Care for a cup, Miss Swan?" He asks
"A baby? That's your merchandise? Why wouldn't you tell me?" She asks
"Well because, at the time, you didn't need to know." He replies
"Really? Or you thought I wouldn't take the job?" She asks
"On the contrary, I thought it would be effective if you found out yourself. After seeing Ashley's hard life, I thought it would make sense. Do you? I mean, if anyone could understand the reasons behind giving up a baby, I assumed it would be you." He replies
"You're not getting that kid." She says
"Actually, we have an agreement. My agreements are always honoured. If not, I'm going to have to involve the police and that baby is going to end up in the system. And that would be a pity. You didn't enjoy your time in the system, did you, Emma?" He asks
"It's not going to happen." She replies
"I like your confidence. Charming. But all I have to do is press charges. She did, after all, break into my shop." He says and I smile at his reference to Charming,
"But she did do it in order to steal her contract, no?" I ask
"Who knows what she was after?" He asks
"You know no jury in the world will put a woman in jail, whose only reason for breaking and entering to keep her child. I'm willing to roll the dice that contract doesn't stand up. Are you? Not to mention what might come out about you in the process. Somehow, I suspect, there is more to you than a simple pawn broker. You really want to start that fight?" She asks
"I like you, Miss Swan. You're not afraid of me, and that's either cocky or presumptuous. Either way, I'd have you on my side." He replies
"So, she can keep the baby?" I ask
"Not just yet. There's still the matter of my agreement with Miss Boyd." He replies
"Tear it up." She says
"That's not what I do. You see, contracts – deals – well, they're the very foundation of all civilized existence. So, I put it to you now. If you want Ashley to have that baby, are you willing to make a deal with me?" He asks
"What do you want?" She asks
"Oh, I don't know just yet. You'll owe me a favour." He replies
"Deal." She says
"Okay see you soon Miss Swan, Freya will I see you later?" He asks
"Yes." I reply
"Well see you later then." He says then he leaves, me, Emma and Henry go into Ashley's room and she is holding her baby,
"Hey. What's her name?" Emma asks
"Alexandra." Ashley replies and I remember that she was going to name her other child that,
"It's pretty." I say
"Thank you for getting me here." Ashley says
"Mr. Gold was outside. I took care of it – she's yours." Emma says
"She is? What did you do?" Ashely asks
"Made a deal with him." Emma replies
"Thank you. Thank you." Ashely says
"Oh, hey, kid. It's almost five. We got to get you home." Emma says then me, Emma and Henry go home quickly. I quickly park my motorcycle and Emma parks the car,
"Henry! About what you said at the hospital. About me being able to leave?" Emma asks
"Yeah?" He asks
"See you tomorrow." She replies
"Freya!" She shouts
"Yeah?" I ask
"Nice glasses." She replies and I smile then she drives off and we quickly run into the house, Henry runs upstairs and one of his shoes falls off then I sit on the sofa and I pick up a magazine, Regina enters the house and she starts going up the stairs and she sees his shoe,
"Henry!" She shouts then she disappears upstairs and after a few minutes she comes back down,
"How was your day?" She asks
"Alright, you?" I ask
"Same." She replies
"Good, good so since you are back I am going out." I say
"Really?" She asks
"Well I still have a couple hours before I have to be home since you cut down my curfew." I reply
"I put a curfew in place to protect you." She says
"I know but I'm fine. Anyway see you later." I say then I kiss her on the cheek and I leave, I get on my motorcycle and I drive to Gold's house.
I arrive and I park my motorcycle I go up to the door and I knock, he answers the door straight away it's like he was waiting by the door for when I arrived,
"Hello." I say
"Hello please come in." He says then I enter and he closes the door behind me, I walk into the living room and I take off my jacket then I sit down on the sofa, he comes in with two glasses of wine and he gives me one as he sits down, I take it gladly and I take a sip,
"So I wanted to talk about the fact that you stood against me with Emma earlier today." He says
"Well I didn't stand against you, I just wasn't on your side for two reasons, one so Emma would make a deal with you for Ashley's baby so you can get her to help you with Bae and two since I know what it's like to lose a child, and I don't want other people suffer like I did." I say, he looks at me bewildered,
"What?" I ask
"I've just never realised how much you have really changed since we have been here in this world." He replies
"I had to otherwise I was going to die." I say
"I know, I know but when I see the process you have made for yourself I can't help but be proud of you." He says
"Aww Rumple thank you but if you are going to thank anyone it should be Henry since I made most of process since he came into my life before that it was going very slow since I was still hanging on to my old self." I say
"Maybe I will." He says
"Despite Henry saying that Emma could leave she chose to stay in town which is good news, hopefully she stays here a long time so she can break the curse but it is going to be hard to make her believe because she is only pretending for Henry since she doesn't want to ruin his dreams." I say
"And how is your mission of getting Emma to trust you?" He asks
"Well it is taking time which is what I suspected but I am patient, like come on I waited for Regina to get her revenge against Snow for years." I reply
"Very true so how is Regina?" He asks
"Paranoid, she is very worried about Emma interfering with our lives but I have reassured her on a number occasions that she doesn't need to be. I don't like lying to her, I never have she is my sister I shouldn't be doing this to her." I reply
"I know it's hard but it is nessacary in order to break the curse." He says then I down my drink and he laughs,
"You are stressed." He says
"Well you would be to if you are trying to keep four people happy." I say then he puts his glass down and he opens his arms, I snuggle into his chest and he wraps his arms around me,
"I want another baby." He says
"What?" I ask as I lift up my head,
"I want another baby I think it would be nice if Bae had a brother or sister." He replies
"Are you sure?" I ask
"Yes are you ready to have another child?" He asks
"Yes I am I have been waiting for this day for years." I reply then he kisses me and I kiss him back with equal passion, we move so he is on top of me and I start unbuttoning his shirt, I take off his shirt and I take off my top then he takes off my bra, he takes one of my nipples into his mouth and I moan softly then he plays with the other with one of his hands, I grab his head and pull his mouth back into mine, he starts to kiss my neck, I moan softly, and he works his way down while his hands unbutton my jeans, he gets to my jeans and he pulls them off then he pulls my underwear down with his teeth, he gets off me and he takes off his trousers then he climbs back on top of me, he positions himself at my entrance and he kisses me as he enters, I moan while he groans and once he has adjusted to my tightness he starts to move at a slow rhythmic pace, I moan and he kisses me more aggressively I, of course, also kiss him aggressive and my legs wrap around his waist, he picks up the pace and I moan loudly while he groans, my nails dig into his back and he moans, he starts to pound into me hard and fast, I'm close,
"I'm close." I say
"Me too." He says, he goes even faster and I moan very loud, after a few more thrusts I go into my orgasm which starts his, he rides out our orgasms,
"Freya!" He shouts loudly as he comes into me and he collapses on top of me,
"I love you." I say breathlessly
"I love you too." He says and we kiss, he lays next to me and we turn to the side so we are spooning, we just lay there for a while in quiet until I break the silence,
"I'll have to go soon otherwise Regina will have a go at me and I'm already grounded." I say
"But you're older." He says
"That's what I said but then she did her death glare." I say
"Ah that makes sense." He says then I sit up and I start to get dressed,
"In a week should we do a test to see?" I ask
"Yes we should but you must know I don't want to sleep with you just because I want a baby, I want to sleep with you because you are my wife and I love you." He replies
"I know and I love you too." I say then I kiss him, I put on my shoes and jacket then I stand up,
"I'll see you soon. Love you." I say
"Love you too and bye." He says then I leave and I close the door behind me, I go to my motorcycle, put my helmet on and I drive back home.
I arrive back home on time and I go inside,
"I'm home!" I shout and Regina comes out of the living room,
"Right on the dot well done." She says
"Well you know me I don't like to be late." I say
"How was Mr Gold?" She asks
"Alright why?" I ask
"Can't I be curious about my brother-in-law?" She asks
"Yes but you hate him." I reply
"True." She says
"Anyway I'm gonna head upstairs." I say
"Okay." She says then I kiss her on the cheek before I head upstairs, I go into my room and I imminently go into the bathroom, I take off my glasses and I get undressed then I turn on the shower and I get in, after 10 minutes I finish in the shower and I wrap my towel around me and I put my glasses back on, I go into my walk in wardrobe and I get my navy long sleeve pyjama top and my navy spotted pyjama bottoms, I dry myself and I get dressed then I turn off my big light, I get into bed and I get my journal then I write down the day's events, I draw a picture of Rumple and I put it in my journal then I put it away, I get out my sketch pad and I draw pictures the rest of the night.
