Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Regina's miscarriage with Solomon
Place: Regina's recovery hospital room
Regina's p.o.v
Rumple's mom, Fiona and her evil minions visited my office. They attacked me and they
didn't care that I was twenty weeks pregnant. I already had been experiencing
complications with the pregnancy. They made things even worse. An emergency D&C
gave Rumple, Avalon, and me a chance to bond with Solomon at the hospital. I didn't want
Rumple to bury Solomon in his family burial plot. Upon my request, Rumple took Solomon
to Old McDonald's Farm. Solomon lived as a normal child here. Little Boy Blue became his
new alias. Shortly after biding my son farewell, I strongly desired to be alone. Rumple and
Avalon went home without me. Zelena saw beyond my depressed state. She kept me
company in my family's absence.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: City Hall-The Mayor's Office
Situation: After the miscarriage, Rumple and Zelena check on Regina
Regina's p.o.v
"Regina Mills" Zelena yells startling me. "Its normal business hours here. I am Mayor Mills to you" I correct my sister. "You just had a miscarriage. You had a D&C procedure. You are in no condition to work. You should go back home and rest" Zelena strongly recommends. "I am fine" I lie hoping she would get off my case. "If you are fine then why does your body feel tense" Rumple points out.
Time Period: An Alternate Universe-Solomon's birth
Rumple's p.o.v
Assuming Solomon's birth was drawing near, Belle and I visited Regina's house. We caught Avalon
and a heavily pregnant Regina in bed together. Emma and Henry provided additional support for
Regina. Belle and I tried to help out as well. Regina had a long difficult labor, but an easy quick
delivery. Emma served as her midwife. Solomon entered into a world full of love and joy.
Time Period: An Alternate Universe
Special Event: Thanksgiving Day 2008 and Solomon's birth
Weaver's p.o.v
"Ouch!" I heard Roni yell from the kitchen. She was preparing Thanksgiving dinner at the time. I ran
to see what all the commotion was about. Roni was bending over in pain. Her water just broke.
I helped her into a chair at the table. "I know I am overdue, but I don't want to give birth right now.
I have to finish cooking dinner" Roni stressed. "Your time to give birth has come now. We will
eat dinner later on" I assured her. I accompanied her upstairs to our bedroom where I set up the
birthing pool. Roni used the birthing pool and walked around the house in attempt to make the baby
move further down. It broke my heart to watch my wife struggle. Her sister, Zelena served as the
midwife. I provided assistance if there was a need. Meanwhile, eight year old Avalon and her seven
year old cousin Robin watched movies in the den downstairs. I spent my time between checking on
them and preparing for Solomon's arrival. During delivery, Roni experienced a very scary and
serious complication. Solomon's shoulders were stuck in the birth canal. According to Zelena, this
problem was called shoulder dystocia. Thankfully, both Roni and Solomon survived their tough
ordeal.

Situation: Zelena and Baby Robin meet Hades' daughter Morgana (a ten year old child) for the first time
Zelena's p.o.v
Hades felt comfortable enough to bring his daughter Morgana over to my house. I prepared milk and chocolate chip cookies for us. I made sure my precious baby Robin was well-groomed and well-dressed. Morgana's pretty emerald green eyes lit up when she saw Robin. "You are a cute little doll" Morgana complimented Robin. "Thanks" I respond on Robin's behalf. "Someday we will become one big happy family" Hades predicts. "Please slow down. We are in the dating phase" I remind my boyfriend.
Time Period: A Flashback-July of 2010
Special Event: Nicole's homebirth
Zelena's p.o.v (as Morgana's midwife)
She prefers the birthing pool over her bed. The warm water eases her pain some. I check her and she is fully dilated. Navigating through the birth canal, the baby's weight crushes her bones. She almost loses her balance and concentration.
Time Period: A Flashback-July of 2010
Special Event: Nicole's difficult home birth by which Merlin, Drizella, Hades, and Zelena (Morgana's midwife) are present
Morgana's p.o.v
The birthing pool eases my pain some. A huge contraction jolts me awake. Yet again, I attempt to push the baby from my womb. I struggle to push my baby pass my pubic bone. Her large head or broad shoulders are stuck there. My dad, husband, and best friend look on in worry. "It is hurting me. Please get it out" I beg Zelena who is my midwife and dad's girlfriend. "I can feel her. I am trying to turn her, but you have to push her out" Zelena instructs me.
Time Period: A Flashback-February or March of 2019
Special event: Zelena and Hades' wedding reception
Zelena's p.o.v

She is as barren as a tree during wintertime. Even now she is priceless, not worthless.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Rumple's p.o.v
Wandering mindlessly through time, his eyes remain on the sparrow who is traveling down a narrow road. A perfect gift would be another tomorrow instead of more sorrow. The dark one's hope and redemption is sealed in blood.
Time Period: A Flashback
Rumple's p.o.v
Lately, my sons have been helping me out in the shop. I don't know if I will give Solomon or Gideon the keys to the kingdom. Glowing as brightly as the sun, Belle
enters my shop in the present time. "You are surely glowing" I observe. "Papa, Belle might have some exciting news for us" Solomon assumes. "Its probably not good news"
Gideon doubts. "I am pregnant! I just found out" Belle exclaims embracing me. I am completely shocked because I never thought we would be able to have a second baby,
more presumably a daughter. "I love you" choked up, I confess stroking my wife's hair. "Rumple, we might have a girl this time. Regina and Emma are also expecting their
second child. Like me, they are in the beginning stages of their pregnancies" Belle reveals making my heart do cartwheels. I have a heart attack right then and there before
my family. They take me to the hospital asap.
Time Period: A Flashback-After The Heart Attack
Place: The Hospital-Rumple's Recovery Room
In my mind, a male ghostly figure stands in the doorway. I identify this ghost to be my son Baelfire. "Hello, Papa" Bae addresses me. He squeezes my hand very tightly. I
can feel his blood running through my veins. "Please don't leave me" emotional, I beg him. "I will always be with you in spirit. We will be together again in paradise one day"
he promises. "I understand' I sniffle. Bae hugs and kisses me goodbye then leaves me alone in a world in which he doesn't exist.
Time Period: A Flashback
Special Event: The Birth of Belle and Rumple's daughter, Blossom Gold
Belle's p.o.v
The pain grows more intense with each passing second. I feel as if the end is near. My pain makes both Gideon and Rumple to become emotional. Gideon longs to go
somewhere else, but he stays put. Watching Dr. Whale insert his instruments inside of me worries him greatly. Silently, Gideon squeezes my hand and prays for the
best outcome. "Easy deep slow breaths and pushes" Rumple instructs me. "It hurts. I just want it out" I sob heavily clinging onto him. "I don't want you to tear or bleed to
death" he fears stroking my hair. "I will not die" I assure him and Gideon. "You have a beautiful daughter" Dr. Whale announces placing the crying baby in my arms. Gideon,
Rumple, and I fall in love with Blossom immediately.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Story Brooke-Belle's house-The Nursery
Rumple's p.o.v
Delighted, Belle and I watch our newborn daughter sleep in her crib. "Blossom Gold was born on the same day as her half brother and niece. That was
amazing" Belle reminiscences. "Blossom is so cute and precious. She is going to be daddy's little girl" I predict. "I bet Avalon was daddy's little girl too" Belle
guesses.
Time Period: A Flashback-Years later when Blossom is a teenager and has a new name in which is Bee. Bee is dating Tilly aka Alice.
Place: On the streets of Hyperion Heights
Bethany's p.o.v aka Belle
Passing through, Detective Weaver catches Bee and Tilly kissing. He shows them no mercy. He arrests them in front of me. Unlike me, Victoria aka Lady Tremaine
is not a big fan of homosexual relationships. She has banned these type of relationships. Still brainwashed, Weaver doesn't know I am his wife and Bee is his daughter.
Reluctantly, I surrender all control over my daughter. Somehow Alice is able to escape Victoria's evil scheme. Numerous obstacles prevent her or even George and
myself from bailing Bee from jail. Victoria enjoys holding Bee and Zelena's teenage daughter Robin hostage. Robin dated Alice once. I assume Victoria will not set them
free until they develop no more romantic feelings for Alice.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Situation: Bethany still loves, remembers, and cherishes her daughter who remains behind bars
Bethany's p.o.v
Brought forth in joy and pain, my love for her can withstand the rain. She who is my heart carries my burdens. She flies with broken wings. She is a fragile lost little girl. She
tells me not to worry even at times when I feel sorry for her. She who is my heart carries my burdens. I wish her all the best that life has to offer even as she becomes like
the sunset.
Avalon's p.o.v
Invincible, I am lost in this great big world. Mercy and grace feel far away until I encounter a friendly
familiar face. "Hello, sweetheart" Aunt Zelena greets me with a hug. "It's good to see you again" I
respond. "I must get you home asap. Your mom must be very worried about you" she assumes
grabbing me by the arm.
Emma's p.o.v
While checking the mailbox, I encounter a pretty white dove. Strangely, the dove didn't have a
message for me. I follow the dove to Granny's where I receive the biggest surprise of my life.
My estranged daughter Spirit works as a waitress here. I didn't know she was back in town.
The dove must've been of her doing. Just when I am about to leave, Spirit embraces me. She
whispers "I love you". I respond with "I love you too".
Place: Grannys
Avalon's p.o.v
"Here are your blueberry pancakes" Spirit chants offering me a plate full of pancakes. "Thanks. You
are a wonderful waitress" I praise my friend. "I am happy to see you, but how were you able to get
away from your parents?" she wonders sitting down. "Sometimes they allow me to have alone
time. They trust me to look after myself. They might contact me so I must have my cellphone off
silent" I explain. "Thats good" Spirit sighs.
Avalon's p.o.v
I left behind a big tip for Spirit at Grannys. She was extremely happy and thankful. While walking
back home, I felt a strange presence following me. I thought it was one of Spirit's pet birds. "It's
good to see you again, sweetheart" a redheaded lady in green addressed me. "How do we know
each other?" I asked her. "Avalon, I am your Aunt Zelena. I am your mother's sister" she introduced
herself.
Place: Regina's house
Rumple's p.o.v
Hearing Avalon and Solomon calling me father bothers Zelena. Zelena gives me a look of disgust.
"I can't believe you and Regina have children" She snaps at me. She reopens a deep old wound in
our relationship. "I can't control who I love, dearie" I explain. "You could've left Regina alone" she
argues. "You wanted me to choose you over Regina. Is this correct, dearie?" I ask her. She walks
away without giving me a straight answer.
Spirit's p.o.v
I am on the outside looking in. I am glad Avalon is getting well acquainted with her Aunt Zelena.
I wish I had a cool aunt like Zelena. I know little about my parents' past. I might have an aunt
somewhere. A familiar yellow buggy parks next to the sidewalk. My mom rolls down the front
passenger window. "Please stop stalking the Gold Family especially Avalon. Come and be my
baby for once" mom invites me. Obediently, I get into the car. Then we drive off into the sunset.
Situation: Zelena discovers she is pregnant with Hades' baby
Zelena's p.o.v
One day while grocery shopping, Robin caught me glancing over various home pregnancy tests. My period was late and my hormones were wacky. I experienced morning sickness for the past six weeks. I wondered if I was pregnant. "Your period is late. You should take a pregnancy test" my young adult daughter pressured me.
Zelena's p.o.v
After much hesitation and resistance, I brought a home pregnancy test. My boyfriend, Hades joined Robin and me in waiting for the test results. Everything changed when I told them that I was pregnant. Hades proposed to me right there on the spot.
Hades' p.o.v continued
Zelena, Robin, and I kept the pregnancy a secret from our guests at the wedding. We planned to tell
them the good news when we reached the safe zone. Zelena realized how much it pained me to lie
to my daughter Morgana. Morgana attended the wedding with her husband Merlin and their nine
year old daughter Nicole. Morgana and I shared a father and daughter dance on the dance floor.
Zelena gave me permission to tell Morgana about the baby if only I spoke in a whisper. "Morgana,
I have important good news to share with you" I whispered. "She is having a baby, specifically
yours" Morgana whispered back. Somehow she could read my mind.
Time Period: The Present Current Reality
Special Event: Storybrooke's Annual Easter Egg Hunt
Zelena's p.o.v
He is a little prince with dollike features. By him, I mean my adorable eleven year old nephew Solomon. Who knew my sister and that horrible monster Rumple could create such a beautiful creature? I wonder what my unborn baby will look like. She or he will be loved no matter what. Anyhow, I have been stuck with babysitting Solomon. I consider this situation to be preparation for motherhood. Occasionally, Solomon would show off the newest Easter eggs that he caught.
Zelena's p.o.v
From afar, we notice Regina and Tiana exiting the chapel. "Mommy" Solomon squeals jumping into
Regina's arms. "You are super hyper. You will not get anymore candy" Regina teases him. "Your son
is quite a handful. How could you leave me alone with him?" I joke around with my sister.
"You are absolutely glowing. Is there something that you need to tell me?" Regina points out.
Before I can tell Regina about my pregnancy, my attention is directed elsewhere. Hades has a
basket full of Easter eggs for me and our baby.
Zelena's p.o.v
"This Easter basket is for you. I know how much you love chocolate especially when you are
pregnant" Hades offers me. "Thanks, honey" I smile. We exchange one long passionate hug and
kiss.
Regina's p.o.v
I am so busy with the Easter Egg Hunt that I do not realize that Zelena is gone. She joins
my children and myself for the long walk back home. "Hello, my pretties" Zelena greets us.
Avalon and Solomon share their Easter candy with her. "You missed the rest of the Easter Egg
Hunt. Where have you been?" I question my sister. "I was visiting a friend" she responds. My eyes
fall on her growing baby bump. "Does your friend have anything with your growing baby bump?"
I interrogate her. "Yes. My friend Hades is my baby's father. We are having a baby. We were planning
to keep the pregnancy a secret until we reached the safe zone" Zelena reveals. "I am going to be an
aunt again!" I exclaim hugging Zelena.
Regina's p.o.v
Anxiously, I unlock and open the front door. I am trying to inhale and exhale. "Mommy!" a frightened
Solomon cries running into my arms. I hold him dear and close to my heart. "Avalon is gone. She
disappeared" he reminds me. "Solomon has been scared. He has missed you like crazy" Zelena
breaks in. "I thank you for looking after Solomon in my absence. You will be a wonderful mother" I
thank my sister.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: A Hospital Recovery Room in Storybrooke
Avalon's p.o.v
"You never had a friend like me" two females sing. I open my eyes and pull back the curtain. Spirit
and an unknown female cancer patient are watching Aladdin. "Good morning sleeping
beauty" Spirit teases me. "What happened to me?" I ask my nurse and friend. "You were stuck in
the Cave of Wonders. Jafar and Dr. Facilier trapped you there. A mysterious stranger, good
samitarian, brought you here to the hospital" Spirit recounts. "In my unconscious state,
I felt big strong arms lifting me out of the abyss. The man carried me somewhere, perhaps
to the hospital. It must've been my dad" I conclude. Spirit invites my mom into the room.
She showers me with hugs and kisses.
Regina's p.o.v
Originally, I came here to the hospital for Zelena. According to my neice Robin, a car hit Zelena.
Zelena was walking around their neighborhood at the time. The person who hit her ran away from
the crime scene. She was left severely wounded and bleeding in the street. She was on the verge of
having a miscarriage. If Robin didn't find her, she would've never made it to the hospital. Now
here I am torn between tending to Avalon or Zelena.
Zelena's p.o.v
Fear, stress and anxiety eat me up inside. I am glad Hades is not present because he would've been
a mess. Anxiously and desperately, I long to hear our baby's heartbeat. I squeeze Regina's hand as
a way to ease the tension in my body. "Just breathe and relax" Regina instructs me. "I don't hear a
fetal heartbeat. I must've lost the baby" crying, I assume immediately. "I can hear a heartbeat. You
had to listen more closely. It is still alive and it is a boy" the doctor reveals. Regina
and I take this good news to heart.
Time Period: A Fantasy-Zelena's dream
Place: Hades and Zelena's house
"Zelena, Midas has turned the furniture into gold again" Hades complains. "He has The Midas'
touch. His name is Midas after all" I joke with my husband. "Mommy and Daddy, I am so sorry" our
eight year old son apologizes. I pull Midas into a tight bear hug. "We forgive you, Buddy" I assure
him.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Zelena's p.o.v
"Hello, honey" Hades whispers breaking through my dreamworld. I place his hand over my stomach.
"It is still alive and it is a boy. I want to name him Midas" I announce. "I love you and our son
Midas" Hades confesses from the bottom of his heart. "I had a dream about Midas being eight
years old. He turned the furniture into gold. He acknowledged us as Mommy and Daddy" I share
with my husband.
Regina's p.o.v
Spirit said a mysterious stranger brought Avalon to the hospital. Distracted, she didn't get a clear
view of him. Avalon has claimed the mysterious man was Rumple. I am checking the security
tape right now so that I may identify this good Samaritan. "OH My God!" I gasp in both shock
and horror. My former huntsman and Emma's deceased partner, Graham Humbert had brought
Avalon to the hospital.
Regina's p.o.v
I follow Graham's spirit animal in which is a wolf to the police station. Rude and inconsiderate,
I interrupt Graham's time with his teenage daughter Vera. Vera used to be known as "The Little
Match Girl". She is also Avalon's friend and Storybrooke's newest police chief. "I killed you. How
are you still alive? What are you doing in Storybrooke?" I confront Graham.
Regina's p.o.v
"I killed you. How are you still alive? What are you doing in Storybrooke?" I repeat to Graham. "Vera's
birthday wish resurrected me" Graham explains. Before I can question him more, my cellphone
rings. Gideon is on the other line. My presence is needed at Rumple's old pawn shop by which u
Gideon manages now. Something extraordinary is happening there. I rush over to the pawn shop
asap. I encounter a bewildered Gideon and an older John Lennon look alike. "He resembles my dad
my dad a little" Gideon brings to my attention. "That man is not your father. Your dad never wore
glasses" I refresh his memory.
Regina's p.o.v
I block his view of the doorway. "Excuse me..dear...darling" he pardons himself. Kindly, I hold the
door open for him. "Thanks" he smiles making my heart melt. "You are welcome" I respond
cheerfully. Rumple and his newly brought guitar disappear into a sea of people. Something
from within stops me from following him. I give him time to come clean.
Place: The Hospital-Avalon's recovery room
Regina's p.o.v
I walk in on the part when he sings "Mother Mary". I recognize this verse from the Beatles' famous
hit song called "Let It Be". "Hello, John Lennon" I tease Rumple. He gives me that creepy coy little
grin. "Papa, you can end the charade now" Avalon calls him out. "Sure" Rumple chuckles.
"Welcome home, papa" Solomon weeps into his arms.
Regina's p.o.v
Ava and Solomon can sense the sexual tension between Rumple and me. "Kiss! Kiss" they pressure
us. Looking back, I realize they have never seen me kiss their father. "Our kids want us to kiss. Let
us entertain them for once" Rumple seduces me. I reach for his lips and he pulls me right in for a
brief passionate kiss. I wonder if he is simply showing off or pretending to care.

Event: Midas' birth
Zelena's p.o.v
Four months have passed since Billy's death and funeral. Billy's loss hasn't discouraged Dr. Whale.
I am glad and thankful that he is my Obgyn. Anyhow, here I am knocking on death's door. This
delivery feels much different from Robin's birth. I have been crying, screaming, tearing, and
bleeding heavily. Regina takes my face in her hands. There is a mixture of worry, sadness,
and joy in her eyes. "You are not going to die today" she assures me. She restores both
my strength and joy. Yet again, I attempt to push out my son. He is stuck in a
transverse position. Hades fears losing both Midas and me.
Regina's p.o.v
"You got this, Zelena. Keep on pushing" Dr. Whale encourages Zelena. He puts pressure on her
stomach in an attempt to shift Midas back into the right position. No matter how many times
Zelena pushes, she struggles to bring forth her son. Eventually, she gives up. "I am tired. I can't do
this anymore" she complains. I can feel my sister slipping down into a dark hole. "My wife and
son are dying. Do something" Hades yells at Dr. Whale. "Take Zelena down to the emergency room
for a cesarean section" Dr. Whale orders his team. Before Zelena leaves for surgery, I give her a hug
and kiss. "I love you. Please look after Robin and Midas in my absence" Zelena requests. "You are
not going to die. I will see you, Hades, and Midas very soon" I correct her.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Date: 10-3-2019
Rumple's p.o.v
Everything has started to unravel like a yarn ball. We are stuck somewhere between birth and death.
Learning to trust and accept the process, we have been here before. It is such pity that we have
anxiety. Our future is filled with so much uncertainty. Maybe we were meant to chase after the wind,
dying pipe dreams. Hope breaks through the darkness surrounding our world.
Situation: Zelena has underwent an emergency cesarean section. Now she is struggling to wake up from anesthesia.
Regina's p.o.v
Barely in her right mind, one lonely white dove who has my heart. A spirit of the night, to go down yonder and never wake up. Her ascension or descent into oblivion, our long slow goodbye. Passing through like a speedy car, echoes and shadows.
Place: The Hospital Waiting Room
Rumple's p.o.v
She buries her face in her hands in an attempt to hide her tears. I put a comforting arm around her shoulders. I take it further by gently rubbing her back. "Zelena has to wake up. She must wake up. She will wake up" She repeats over and over again. I wonder if she talking to me or herself. Maybe she is encouraging both herself and me.
Regina's p.o.v
I embrace myself for the worst when Doctor Whale approaches me. Rumple squeezes my hand very tightly. "Mayor Mills...Regina" Doctor Whale addresses me. "Just spit it out. I can handle the truth. Is Zelena dead or not?" anxious, I pressure him. "Zelena has awaken from the anesthesia. You can see her and the baby now" Doctor Whale answers me.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Zelena's recovery room
Regina's p.o.v
Beaming with joy, Zelena shows off her newborn son to me. Hades has left the building, perhaps preparing to welcome Midas home. Midas is a combination of Zelena and Hades. He is a big boy, weighing nine pounds. There is no wonder as to why Zelena struggled to have him the old natural way. I am grateful that she had a cesarean section. I predict Midas will become a famous warlock or my apprentice someday.
