Rose awoke from another strange dream, they always felt so real, like they were always her. She would be very small, as if she were a baby. She was being placed in a basket and went through a wall of water. When she got to the other side, she was in her grandpas shop. A women was crying over her as she spoke.

"I love you Rosey, I will come back to you. I promise" the women kissed her forehead and was gone. Then the dream ended and she woke up. She had never seen this women before, this women looked similar to her but not exactly. She never mentioned her dreams to her grandfather, she didn't want to seem crazy. She was 16, telling tales of dreams feeling real would make everyone thing she was weird. Things spread around this small town like wildfire, she couldn't be the town weirdo. So she couldn't tell him, she couldn't tell anyone.

Belle sat in a rocking chair holding Rose in the nursery. It was a nice baby yellow with roses painted along the top. She had a white bassinet with a mobile her father made her. Roses room has a large bookshelf and a window facing the garden. He room was on the third floor, across from her father lab. Belle heard a large sound but figured it was just Rumple doing experiments, he did those quite a lot now, his most recent being an immortality potion. The potion had worked and would keep them young forever. Rose was to small to try the potion and they wanted her to decide when and if she wanted to use it. Suddenly Rumple burst through the door and looked at Belle,

"They have reached us" he looked at her in a panic

"How," she stood up and went over to him, still holding her daughter in her arms

"I don't know, it isn't safe. We have to do it." Belle knew what Rumple was referring to but didn't want it to be true.

"Are you sure, there must be another way. I don't want to lose her." she held back tears as Rumple reaches towards her and put his hand on her cheek

"I'm sorry Belle. This war has gotten out of hand. If only Snow and Charming had left the boy alone, none of this would have happened"

"The child is Regina's, no matter who gave birth to it. Why can't they come to a compromise, you know, the Charmings have him one week, Regina the next?"

"Life is never that simple my dear, not with these people. We have to send her through soon, I don't want to but it must be done." he looked down at his daughter in his wife's arms "I'm so sorry my Rose, I can't protect you." He kissed her head with eyes of tears "Belle, take her to the mirror, it will work as it did before."

He had found a way to fix the mirror shortly after Rose was born, Regina helped restore it. He explained everything to Regina about her sister, at first she didn't believe him but after some explaining she gave in. She helped him fix the mirror and he continued to search for his son. He hadn't been able to find him yet but he wasn't going to give up hope. He had gotten a bit slowed down since the war started.

"I'll be back Rumple" she said as she began to cry and headed towards the mirror room.

Rose got dressed and headed into the kitchen to make breakfast for herself and her grandfather. She had lived with him since she was a baby, she had never known her parents, her grandpa told her stories about her mother but never her father. It was almost as if he had never met him. She thought that was strange, but it might be true. She had seen pictures of her mother as a teen, never as an adult though. She looked similar to her, almost just like her. Except for her eyes, her eyes were chocolate brown, she assumed that was like her father. She heard her grandpa wake up and head into the kitchen

"Good morning Grandpa Moe"

"Morning Rose" he grandpa sat down at the kitchen table "what are we having for breakfast today?"

"Bacon and eggs" she plated the food and gave him his plate. "Tell me more about mom" she said after a few minutes of them eating in silence. He looked up from his plate at her

"There's not much more to tell my girl, i've told you everything."

"Well, what about Grandma?"

"She was very similar to your mother, most of what I told you about your mother would be the same."

"Ah, I see." she looked over at the clock on the wall on the wall, it sat on the wall above the mirror that hang in the kitchen. "I've gotta get to school, i'll come back and work at the shop later"

"Ok, and Rose,"

"Yeah?" she said as she opened the front door

"I have something for you once you get home"

"Okay" and she walked out the door and headed to school

"Gods I miss her Rumple" Belle said as they watched her leave for school

"I know Belle, so do I." he got up from his seat and hugged her holding her close. "The wat is almost over my Belle. We will get her back, I promise"

"I hope so" she said as she began to cry into his chest

"Hey, hey, don't cry." he pet her hair as he spoke "we'll get her, we'll get our girl back"
